Preparing Potatoes.

There are great many kitchens that
are not possessed of the luxury of a
brush for cleaning potatoes. 1t is next
to impossible to wash potatoes perfectly
clean by hand. The use of little
scrubbing brush, such as may be pur
chased at from five to ten cents, will
soon make their jackets fresh and clean,
so that they will be fit to be brought on
the table roasted. Roast potatoes
should always have little bit of skin
Clipped off at either end to allow the
steam to escape and to prevent their
becoming sodden before they are thor
oughly done. Such brush is also very
useful in washing beets and various
other root vegetables, all of which are
probably just as well cooked in their
skins and peeled when done-the turnip
being the only exception to this rule, as
it acquires bitter flavor when boiled
in its Jacket Chicago Post.

"A Swedish newspaper, the Ostgoten,
takes a somewhat novel and striking
view of the emigration question. 1t

900 persons have left Sweden as emf

persons cost at least thousand crowns,
about $27O, making about SOL, $50, 900

became old enough to turn their educa-
ton to account and return some service
to the country, the money spent on
their education was dead loss to Swe-

POULTRY PICKINGS.


IFyou have choice poultry give them
good treatment.
The egg can be increased in size and
richness by feeding.
WHEN breeding fowls for profit
breed what the market demands.
So FAR as is practicable, ducks
should have separate quarters from the
other fowls
WHEN poultry get no attention they
soon get so that they are not worth
looking after.
WHEN the weather is cold the water
should be emptied out of the drinking
vessels every night
COMMON earthen crooks make good
drinking vessels if care is taken not to
allow them to freeze.
EVEN when the incubator is used it
will be found a safe plan to keep some
of the old hens for Matching
In winter hens must have materials
supplied to them to make egg shells,
as well as material to fill them.
WHEN the hens appear droopy it is a
good indication that they are suffering
from lice, indigestion or colds.
Ducks will begin laying when about
six months old, but. as a rule, the eggs
should not be used for Matching
If eggs are to be bought for Matching
this spring send in the order early so as
to be sure of getting them when you
want them.
KEEP the chickens and the broods
growing rapidly by supplying them
with good variety of food and feed
ing regularly.
BECAUSE there is plenty of scraps is
no reason why more should be fed than
is necessary to keep the fowls in good
condition.
SO LONG as the poultry must be
confined the greater part of the time,
they should be. fed regularly three
times each day.
