Ironing Tables.

Several of the combination ironing
tables that can be changed into a seat,
with a receptacle for various articles
underneath, have lately been made into
excellent seats for halls and piazzas.
One has been stained deep olive green
and had the seat upholstered with olive
corduroy fastened with white nails.
Another seat stained an oak color had
a pattern on the back picked out with
fancy headed wrought iron nails. This
one was covered with figured burlap in
oak color. fastened in place with the
same kind of nails used on the back. A

Lemon Peel.

Nowadays when we make pies, pud-
dings, custards and desserts under ev-
cry name from the orange, the "orange
peel which accumulates is wonderful,
and it seems a pity to let it waste. Some
soak and prepare it in form called
"candied" peel and use it like citron in
pies or cakes, but it Is easier to CRATE
off the yellow part and put this in a
glass can or bottle and cover with al
cohol. Let stand couple of weeks
and then strain. A fine extract Is Sc
cured in this way. A word as to pro-
portions-for the skin of ten oranges
carefully grated, quart oGflcohol will
be needed. Be very careful that only
the yellow part of the rind is grated off,
as the inner skin is worse than useless.

Killing Canada Thistles.

The first thing to be done to get rid
Of these pests, says the Rural New
Yorker, is to plow the land just after
the crop Is off, with a good set of gang
plows, turning 1t about three inches
deep; then in three or four days dig or
harrow it with a harrow like the Thorn
as. Leave it alone for n week or so
and pillow it over with an ordinary plow,
about five or six inches deep, as 1t had
formerly been plowed. Then harrow
well, and prepare for fall wheat and
seed down to clover and timothy. and
you will find very few thistles. IL the
Land Is In good shape for wheat. rer, II
you Intend to sow a spring crop, do
not give the second blowing until late
IN the fall, and where spring blowing
will answer, it Is a good plan to Guilt
vate or harrow the land, then plow and
harrow and prepare the ground as usual
for whatever crop you wish to SOW.

The Vitality of Chickers.

Chickens Matched In hen houses in
hot weather are generally feeble and
easily succumb to any disease. AS
the hens approach the moulting period,
their eggs contain germs with weaker
vitality and many are unable to hatch.
This is in part due to the rapid evap-
grafton of moisture from the egg in hot
weather. The hens that have a run out
of doors and make their nests on the
ground, sit and hatch full broods. The
moisture in the soil checks the evapora-
ton from the egg and thus preserves
the vitality of it's germ. Hens should
be allowed to make nests, sit and hatch
their chickens on the ground during
the summer months.

Treatment of Fiannels.

Before putting flannels in the suds
shake and brush them thoroughly to
get all the dust out of them, and they
will be less liable to harden in the wash.
Always remember that the water you
use on fiannels should be kept as nearly
mt one temperature as possible; that
only little hotter than blood heat is
really best, because you can't dry them
under greater heat than that.

wild PIums and Their Seedlings.

There are many wild plum trees
whose blossom is not perfect, and
which never bear unless they are near
cultivated plums. These wild plums
are, when grown, not equal to the best
cultivated sorts, but some of their seed
lings are sent out as great acquisitions,
because they are exempt from attacks
by the curculio. This only proves. true
where the little turk has better fruit to
feed on. 1t Is not hard to find the cur
culio, and to do this saving the best
fruit costs on an average in an orchard
not more than 10 cents per tree. This
is better than giving up the best plums.
