USES For FLOUR SACKS.

Housekeepers who have no room for
a flour barrel but still are thrifty
enough to bake bread mt home, ac
cumulate in time number of empty
sacks, for which Mt first glance there
seems no manner of use. A moment E
reflection, however, will show many
ways in which they can be turned to
account Perhaps the easiest way to
dispose of them usefully is to hem
them for dish towels, or to cut them
in two and hem for dish-cloths.
If there are small boys and girls in
the family they will come in nicely for
pants and sleeve Innings. Very dainty
housekeepers sew up their pillows in a
close-ftting case, thus keeping the
ticks fresh and clean, the regular pill
low case to be slipped on over it and
three times year. Flour sacks are
excellent for this purpose.
Country housewives, who are pro-
verbally thrifty, perhaps because they
cannot SO easily run out con the ave-
nue." and buy thing the moment
they want it, do not disdain to use
these sacks for aprons, faced with
turkey red, or feather stitched with
red marking cotton they are suffi-
ciently dainty.
There is knack in ripping and
washing them. Cut the threads with
which the sack is closed at the bottom,
then, by taking one of the two threads
in each hand and pulling you will find
the seams unravel easily Wash out
the flour and sizing in several waters,
soap the letters well and boil in suds.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

At this season fowls do better if con-
fined on rainy days.
Hogs at nine months should weigh
from $50 to 800 pounds.
Both breed and feed are required to
make good dairy COW.
Hog-raising and dairying form
good combination for profit.
Feeding Brahmas all they will eat
will usually stop them from laying.
If sulphur is given at all it should be
given sparingly and never in damp
weather.
Give little oatmeal or stale bread
soaked in milk as first feed to young
chickens.
Filth and lack of ventilation cause
more disease among poultry than any
thing else.
Road dust and finely sifted wood

terial for the dust boxes.
Sell from the young stock and do
not sacrifice fowls that have proved
satisfactory unless very old.
Breeding and handling are of equal
Importance in attaining success with
horses. They should go hand in hand.
The man who now shows his faith in
sheep by staying in or going in that
industry will surely come out on top.
Keep the cows from temptation by
having the fences in such condition
that they cannot get through or over
| them.
In a brooder each duckling chooses
its own quarters, squats quietly down
and remains there until morning with
out crowding.
Lung fever often results from speed
| ing horses when the mercury is low

most of the time.
In removing dead branches care

WHEN HORSES BITE THE HARNESS.

This bad habit may be checked by
stepping some bitter aloes in warm
water and sponging the harness with
it. This is also disgusting to rats and
mice, which often gnaw the harness
for the salty taste it has from the per-
spiration of the horses. This shows
how right and proper it is to wash and
grease the harness frequently, using
carbolic or tar soap, and adding little
carbolic acid to the grease, which
should be pure vaseline. New York

TINY SHOES.

The material to be employed is
cbamois leather; cut the shoes into
the shape of tiny sock. Sew them
up with the seams on the inside, and
then turn them SC that any edges may
be on the outside. DO not make an
opening i'll the front, but rather let
the top be wide enough to admit the
little foot and ankle easily. Now
crockett scallop with bright wool or
silk around the edge, and cut a few
little Sits just under it, at distance
of about half an inch from each other
Run ribbon through these, the same
color as the scallop, and, drawing it
enough to keep the little shoe firm,
tie bow in front. These make nice
house shoes for little folks Detroit

Since the original fall of man we have had
some signal examples of great falls-not TO
include Niagara or the immense fall in values
which the times have brought about-in the
nature of accidents which waylay men at all
times. One such is that of Mr.. George w.
Lord, Olanta, Pa, who says he fell down
stairs and suffered four weeks with sprained
back. The use of st. Jacobs Oil completely
cured him. Mr.. G. Roeder, 600 s. 18th ST.,
Omaha, Neb., relates that he jumped from
his engine in collision and sustained very
bad sprain TO his ankle he had to use cane
for weeks, but was finally cured by st.
Jacobs Oil. Never fall out with so good a
thing.
