There are two ways of avoiding the
strong odor which comes from cook

meates tho whole house. Ono is to
give it hard five minutes boil. then
take 1T from the water and place in n
pot full of fresh boiling water. An
other way is to place crust of bread
about the size of an egg in the pot
while cooking.
Your bread jars should be scaldcd

1t has long been known that beans
will rust if they are cultivated while
their leaves are wet so that soil will
stick 10 them. Many farmers now be-
lieve that the leaves of the potato. es-
pecially in tho late stages of their
growth, are equally liable to be IN
iurcd by cultivation when wet. 1t is n
good plan to let the cultivator lie lido
in rainy time anyway. Weeds are
killed better while the soil is dry,
while If cultivated during rainy
spell they are only transplanted and
made harder to kill than ever.
