A new method of cleaning clothes
is suggested: Dip the clothes brush
in the yolk of an egg, so that the
bristles are quite wet. Allow it to
dry, and then use. This treatment,
has, it is said, the effect to make the
brushing especially effective.
1t is great deal easier to do work
when it ought to be done than to let
it get even day behind. Every day
bring it's duties. Ifthese are neglected,
or if we are compelled by circumstances
to postpone them till tomorrow, we
must work harder and longer to
catch up.
1t pays to be careful IN little things
on the farm as we'll rs anywhere else.
Every bushel of corn is made up OF
separate ears. Each one wasted makes
the basket so much the lighter. On
many farms hundreds of dollars are
lost for want of a little care.
The man who has time to sit by the
stove in the WALLACE grocery while his
cattle are shifting for them. elves on
the hills, working for dear life to get q
nibble of frosted grass to keep them
alive, is the one who blames "rhe
Government" because times are hard,
and he has not money enough to pay
for the farm.
Success is a wary thing. 1t can't
be caught with chati, nor by sitting
still and waiting for it accidently to
pass our way. He who seeks it must
bait his hook with good bait, and rise
up early in the morning to drop his
line in the stream Of faithful endeavor.
The real wishes and needs of human
ity must be known.
The hundred-acre farm is large
enough to divide amonga a number OF
sons-provided they are educated up
to intensive methods of agriculture.
And we are certain that it is much
better to have the boys about us in our
old days than to send them away into
the wide world to make new homes
for themselves.
Beating COW is brutal and wrong,
demoralizng alike to the beater and
the beaten, and it is no more desirable
with child than with cow. No one
was ever reformed or made better by
beating, while millions have been
taught to be detestable by the process.
Keep your temper; don't get excited
