To Prepnre Lipht Rolls.

A quick way of preparing light rollu
FOR breakfast is to take pan of bakers
rolls, even If they are two or three days
old will not matter, and sprinkle them
well with cold water. Put them in n
deep pan in the oven and turn another
pan over them, so that they will steam
for few moments, five, perhaps, then
remove the pan and let the rolls be sub.
ject to a good heat for another ten min
utes longer, If the rolls are very thick,
Just before removing, butter the topa
and let them crisp little. If the oven
seems to cook the crust too fast, put
paper over the rolls, and they will steam
without browning. This is m excellent
way, also, Of freshenlng up II loaf Of
stale bread. Steam the loaf over Il por
of boiling water for ten minutes, and
then put 1t in moderate oven for
half an hour with a paper over it.

The Science of sweeping,

The true science of sweeping the most
untidy room Is to do 1t with n stout par
Tor broom and raise not so much as IN
sneeze Of dust No matter whether n
carpet or mating or nice wood mosaic
Is the floor covering, the work can be
accomplished with absolute nentness
and dispatch by laying u band Of we'll
dampened sawdust along one side Of
the floor and sweeping this over and
over clear across the apartment. The
sawdust quickly licks up every mote
and bit of lint which the room sets
stirring before It has time to float Off
Into the air and so protects furniture
and the sweeper as well. Such n pro-
cess can be carried on in n sick room
without the least Inconvenience, and
In this event, or where nurseries, or
school rooms are cleaned, 1t is wise to
sprinkle little dislnfectant in the saw
dust. When the work is done carefully
gather It, all in dustpan and toss 1t
Tito the kitchen fire burning 1t between
meals.-New York Sun.

To Use the Left-Overs.

TO utilize cold Johnny cake, cut the
squares in two as you would a cold
biscuit, and toast on a griddle.
Stale biscuits can be cut in three
slices each, and Drowned In the oven
for crisps, which are relished for
breakfast
Stale crackers which taste old can
be made fresh by putting them on tin

until they heat through.
Bits of cold turkey or chicken cut
from the bones, hashed fine, and
warmed in a little gravy, is very nice
when served on slices of toast.

done, beat the whites Of the two eggs

the value to health of the pure liquid

dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction tC millions and

Annle and Potnto Crntee.

One of the most successful potato
growers in the United States harvests
all his potatoes into bushel crates, pill
ing them upon n two-horse wagon until
fully loaded, when they are drawn di-
rectly from the field to market or to
the railroad to be loaded upon the cars,
or to the cellar to be stored for later
market. The advantage in the use Of
such crates is obvious. They afford Il
receptacle into which potatoes can be
picked from the ground and be car
ried to the cart, and as the crate is set
into the cart and an empty crate taken,
there is no bruising of the tubers, as
when poured several times into and
out Of baskets in getting them from
the field to their destination. The same
advantage has even more force in the
case Of gathering apples, which should
be handled as little rs possible to pre-
serve the keeping qualities Of the fruit.
OF course, a large number Of crates is
required where ones potato field or
orchard is extensive, but Nell-made
crates once provided will last almost
a lifetime, and become better and bet
ter appreciated the longer they are

Baked Apples,

Choose good-sized, fair apples, of a
tart and juicy kind. Wash and rub
clean. Put them in a shallow earthen
dish with water to cover the bottom of
the dish; this should be renewed as nee.
essary. Put them in slow oven, which
may increase in warmth so that they
shall be thoroughly done in an hour.
White sugar sifted over them when ia
ken from the oven improves their ap.
pearance. For many persons cream is
u pleasant addition. The skin and core
should be carefully separated and not
eaten. Pare sour apples, remove the
cores and fill the cavities with sugar.
Place in a bean crock or other deep
dish and add water to cover the bottom.
A paper may be tied over the top to pre-
vent burning; they should be baked in
a moderate oven.

Household Hints.

A sprinkling of sulphur wherever red
ants appear will dispense them.
Stains of apples, peaches and pears
on linen will often yield to bath Of
kerosene. Soak for six hours.
A wine glass full of strong borax
water in a pint Of starch will make
collars and cuffs glossy and stiff.
When you give sick people raw oy'
sters cut off the tough part and give
them only the "eye." 1t is digestibIo
and paatable. Never season highly FOR
a sick person.
A woman who ought to know says
that egg shells burned to dark brown
in the oven and crushed quite fine will
keep all Finds of bugs away when
sprinkled on pantry shelves.
There is really use for old lemon
skins. After squeezing free from juice
the. are used to clean old brass and
copper. Rub them with soap and then
dip in fine ashes or polish. Rub dry
with wooden cloth or a piece of cha
mOis.
A carpet may be cleaned by wiping 1t
off with a sponge wet in water to which
a tablespoonful Of tlrpcntine has been
added This should he done about once
a month, after the carpet has been thor
oughly swept, and it will keep 1t
bright and fresh-looking.

Absorptive Power of Soils.

The greater prevalence of droughts
rs the country grows older is partly
owing to the fact that soils long cult
waited do not hold water as they do
when full Of vegetable matter. This
is especially true where the soil is
heavy and has at some time been
worked while wet. 1t often requires
years of cultivation with winter freez-
ing and thawing to fully break up the
cIods made by blowing when the
ground is saturated with water. The
plow presses particles of clay soil to-
gether instead of pulverizing them. If
they are narrowed while wet the clay
sticks to the harrow and but little good
is done. If the soil is undrained these
clods remain for years, rs the satu-
rated soil freezes solid at the surface
and thus prevents the deep freezing
needed for pulverization. Fall plow-
ing is beneficial for land in this condi-
tion.--American Cultivator.

Medicinal Yn1ne Of oniona.

Onions are an excellent remedy for
catarrhs and coughs. For this purpose
they are chosen very large, cut in four,
and stewed in n covered pot with lit
lie sugar candy; they should be left to
stew slowly for long time; strain and
bottle the juice, cork the bottle tightly,
and keep them in temperate and dry
room. A teaspoonful of the juice every
two hours will be found very efIica-
cious for bad colds.

The largest of the English breeds Of

When Blackwell created the improved
Leicesters by skillful breeding, 1t was
the signal for general Improvement
among the English breeds of middle
and long-wooled sheep. The New Lei
cesters were crossed upon the Linc0lns,
which were greatly improved by the
cross. As now bred, it is not uncom-
mon for them to weigh 200 pounds at u
year old and double that weight at 2
years, while there are authentic records
of shearlings which attained weight
of 300 pounds at 13 months. The wool
is long, silky and lustrous, in an even,
compact fleece. The average weight of
the fleece Of full-grown ewes and weth-
ers is from ten to fourteen pounds, but
