Measuring Ocean Speed.
rom the Illustrated American.

= iShA eAA0 AAioSCA tACSo -1Auel1Cttu.
The speed OF, English naval vessels
is generally determined by a run
over measured mile: This is as if
a sprint runner were allowed to take
flying start and as if the speed he
attained by squirting for 100 yards
on a good track were assumed to be
the speed he could make in chasing a
pickpocket in the street. 1t is noto-
rious that these vessels rarely, if
ever attainin actual service the speed
with which they are credited.
1t will therefore be understood how
much more accurate was the test i'm
posed on the new cruiser, Philadel-
phia, when she was made to run forty
miles and back along the coast Of
Long Island. The record she made
was, ofcourse. materially aided by
the work OF the most skillful engi-
neers and stokers employed by the
Cramps, and by the use Of picked
coal; but there. seems to be little rea-
son for doubling her ability to run
twenty knots an hour in actual sery-
ice

Home Hints.

Tar may be removed from either
hands or clothing by rubbing we'll
with lard and then thoroughly wash
ing with soap and water.
The addition of lemon juice to the
water in which rice is boiled will in
crease the whiteness and the grains
will readily separate when thus
treated.
Take two pounds of apples. pare
and core them, slice them into a pan,
add one pound Of loaf sugar, and the
juice of three lemons; let them boil
about two hours. turn into dish and
serve with thick cream.
For use as a disinfectant mix car
bolic acid with boiling water. This
promptly overcomes the usual antag-
onism between the acid and water
and converts them into permanent
solution which will keep for weeks.
An excellent salad dressing is made
by using the yolk of hard boiled eggs.
some cold mashed potatoes we'll
pressed together with fork. oil. vim
egar mustard and salt rubbed in. in
the proportions OF two of oil to one Of
vinegar. A salad must be fresh and
freshly made to be good.
Everyone knows that washed lace
is improved by being dyed in cold
coffee, but perhaps blondes are not
aware that if it be dipped in tea it
will become q color more likely to
suit them. At any rate lace dyed in
tea is a nice change and keeps fresh

A calf should never be checked in
its growth.
The calf should be fed so as to make
the growth a healthy one.
There is no year that pays better
for feed and care than the first.
Cattle, no more than any other class
OF stock will thrive best on one kind
of feed. .. 49,.
Full feeding of sweet wholesome
food. adapted to growth rather than
fat is most desirable.
The condition of the steer when
marketed has much to do with the per
cent it will dress when killed.
Good feeders claim that when corn
is only fed once a day to cattle, it
should always be given at night.
You cannot reasonably expect to
grow a good calf without good feed,
or TO have a good calf without good
sire. 49,.

with plenty Of roots branching out on

are not worth much. Some of these

take the tall plant dig shallow
