Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1895-04-18

Mr.. G. w. Roper, Of Indianola,
Nebraska, came up from Yaquina
yesterday morning in company with
Capt. Robertson. MIR. Roper is
county clerk of Red Willow county,
Nebraska, and is in Oregon spying
out the land for prospective Ne
braska settlement. To a man who
has lived for years on the broad
aud level prairies of Nebraska, our
hills seem rather rough to him, but
short residence among our fir clad,
evergreen hills and beautiful and
fertile valleys make them look three
times smaller. When one has been
here for tire he gets to love the
hills as a part Of his native heath,
and they are not a foot too high,
nor a single one too many of them.
Mr., Roper started on his return
trip today. He goes by the way Of
Ashland, where he will stop for
few days to visit an uncle there.
\ copy Of Lincoln county's new
paper, the Lincoln County Record
came to Our table this week. The
Record is a six-column folio, the
same size as the LFADER, and is
published at Newport by B. F.
Jones and S. c. Irwin. 1t is very
creditably gotten UP and the first
issue is illed with matter that is of
real and material value to the
county. The publishers are men
who have spent many years i'll
Lincoln county, and while many
men may differ with them in indi-
vidual matters, vet there is not a
man in Lincoln county that can
stand up with the truth on his lips
and say that Sam Irwin or Ben
Jones ever worked for anything but

A. H. Guynn, Of Waldport, was
up last Friday and Saturday on
business connected with the estate
of Peter Eckman, deceased, Of
which he is administrator. He re-
ports everything quiet down there.
A petition has been presented to
County Supt. Bethers by the people
on Rock Creek, north of Nashville,
asking for the creation Of a new
school district, The petition being
sufficient it will be allowed, and the
new district will be No. 43.
The new United States grand
jury recently drawn at Portland
contains three Lincoln county men.
They are Chas. H. Williams, Of
Newport, and J. B. Lewis and c.
S. Brown, Of Yaquina City. The
former is listed as a retired mer-
chant and the other two as oyster
men.
Last Monday Joe Briggs was up
on the beach about a mile north of
Cape Foulweather lighthouse and
discovered the remains of what he
calls "sea cow" cn the beach.
1t was about twenty-five feet long,
had a tongue like cow but had
no eyes. There was also a smaller
animal, Of the same kind near it
that measured only about seven feet
in length. The animals we're much

Robt. Campbell informs us that
he and Henry Lewis will soon be-
gin the erection Of a stcre building
near tie butcher shop building.
The building will be 2ox3o feet in
size, one story high, and will be
occupied by them when completed !,
with stock Of groceries, -four aid
feed, and small line of dry goods.
1t is their intention to carry a COM
plete stock in their lines, and will
also deal largely in produce. They
propose handling everything the
farmer ami rancher has to sell, and
will ALLOW just all the San Francis

What we want and need in OUT

[ find that many housewives who are in
the habit of putting up all other native
fruits for winter use, neglect the buckle
berry. While it is true that nothing can
preserve its original freshness of appearance
or flavor, still the canned article IS not to be
despised, especially for use in buildings,
| tarts and the like. The best as We as the
easiest way, in my opinion, is to put them
up without sugar. Put the berries over a
slow fire, stir constantly, and merely bring
the whole mass to the scalding point. Then
pack in glass jars, taking care thai each is
perfectly full, seal tightly while hot, and
put away in dark place. They will keep
perfectly until wanted. Ot course, in using
them, one adds sugar al discretion. In
using them for the buck eberry pudding,
the receipt for which is gwen above, they
should be drained OF all juice, Do not be
be alarmed if they turn the batter green
The color will be normal again when the
pudding is baked.

Simple Rules in Dishwashlng That are
ServiceabIe.


The following simple rules, as taught in
the cooking schools, hung il the Kitchen
and followed. may prove of value to the
young housekeeper or the 'new girl"
1. Collect knives, forks and spoons by
themselves.
2. Put away anv food that has been left on
small clean dishes, never leaving fragments
on dishes on which they were served
3. Scrape all fragments sticking to dishes
or pans into refuse pail or in the back of
the ashpan and underneath the frebox
where they may dry out, and then be
be burned.
4. Arrange all dishes conveniently on the
table, putting glasses nearest the dishpan,
then silver next the fine china, beginning
with cups. saucers and pitchers, and lastly
the greasy dishes.
5. Rinse out milk bottles. pitchers and egg
cups with cold water. Empty and rinse
cups. Put any dishes used in baking to
soak in cold water. Fill kettles and spiders
full of cold water, and set away from the
stove to soak. If left on the stove the heat
hardens whatever has adhered to the sides
in cooking and renders it harder to remove.
6. Have one pan filed with hot soapy
water. For this purpose keep the soap in a
shaker made for this object, or improvise
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1895-08-07

one by putting few holes through the bot
tom of a small pail. Never leave the soap
in the dIshpan to waste and stick to the
dishes. Have a second ready full of hot
water for rinsing before draining.
7. Wash glasses first, slipping them one at
time sidewise into the hot water, so that
the hot water touching them outside and IN
side at the same time may obviate the dan
ger of breaking from unequal expansion.
Dry Immediately on a clean glass towel or
on squares of old cotton cloth, hemmed and
kept for this purpose.
s. Wash the silver and wipe at once from
the soapy water. rubbing any piece with
silver polish tina seems at all dscolored.
s. Wash the china, standing the plates
and saucers on edge i'll the rinsing pan, and
setting the cups right side up that they may
be thoroughly rinsed. Scald the milk pitch
ers.
10. Wash steel knives and forks in warm,
not hot Water. securing the blades if neces-
sary. Never leave the handles in water, as
it tends to loosen them.
II. Rub tins inside and out. using sapolio
If dlscoIored. and paying especial attention
to the seams of the double boilers. Set on
back of range to dry.
IL, Wash ironware inside and out with
hot, soapy water, rinse thoroughly in clear
water and dry. Dripping pans and kettles
that have been used with grease may be
wiped off first with soft paper, to remove as
much of it as possible, and then washed in
the suds with tablespoonful of soda added
to the water. Granite dishes Drowned by
neglect may be cleaned by boiling halt an
hour in soda water, then rubbing vigorously.
Do this several times if necessary.
IS, Coffee pots should never be washed IN
sides with suds. but in clear water. Dry
thoroughly on back of stove, wiping out
with clean cloth when dry, to remove the
brownish sediment that is apt to cling to the
pot.
IA. Wash dishtowels in lukewarm soapy
water, rinse thoroughly and dry after every
meal, and they will keep soft and clean.

IT is alleged that five cents worth of the
oil of lavender mixed with water and sprayed
about house by means of an atomizer will
keep flies away for considerable time. II
occasionally repeated it is claimed all flies
may be kept out of the house without the
need of screens at windows and doors. 1t

A HELPFUL CORNER.
Lack of Calculation.

Many women run against snags in the
course of their lives that cause more or less
trouble to others as we'll as to themselves
that is all owing to miscaIculatiOn or rather
the lack of calculation. AS many times as
woman has made her toilet to go shopping,
visiting or even walking she ought to know
Just how long it will take her. but If hun
dred were asked how long they would be,
ninety per cent would say Il think / might
get ready in such a time" Not knowing the
exact time leads them INTO several plumbers.
If an invitation is received to a place of
amuse ment that is particularly pleasing, it
absorbe the attention and long before the
time required for getting ready ha' arrived
finds the expectant with complete toilet aud
Watching the clock eagerly and commenting
on how slow the time goes. On the other
hand if the invitation is TO take part in some
work or go somewhere that is not so pleas
ant, preparation is put eff until the time for
starting is close at hand and then there is a
rush and some one kept waiting and as
consequence arrive late. A young woman
thought she would make a call and be ready
to walk home with her husband at O'Clock
which would have been very nice. She did
not take account of the fleeing moments and
by tine time she had arrived at the place she
Intended to call it was nearly time her bus
band was getting ready to go home. The
moments slipped quickly by and by the
time she thought of her purpose her hus-
band was at home wondering where
Mary WAS The only excuse she had was
81 didn't think it was so late" If it requires
half an hour to do a certain piece of work
be allowed. We once knew a woman that was
said to do more work than any two women
vet she seemed never in hurry. She had
her work planned out so that SO many hours
were devoted to one thing and so much
time to another and with the punctuality
aHd regularity good time piece, she was
always ready to do the allotted work at the
allotted time. She never kept any one wait
ing nor was she ever late to church through
any cause of her own.
good way to do is to plan out the work
for the day and try TO keep as near the plan
as possible making needed notes of any mis-
calculations of time which can be remedied
the next day. In time 1t will become fixed
habit and the order and system that it will
develop will he worth all it cost. The same
system will be impaired to the rising gene
ration and there is no telling where the good
it will do will end.
