with the dairy. There is no large mar
gin Of profit in making butter and
cheese at present prices, and the ques-
ton how to dispose of the by products
left after these are made usually de-
cides whether the result shall be on
the loss or on the profit side. Making
curd cheese without rennet from the

it where a near market can be had for
it. Almost every city or village would

to dispose Of it. Which will be most

WHAT BEFELL AT THE QUEENS FER
RY

AS soon rs we came to the inn, Ran
sOIAe led us up the stair to a small room,
with a bed in it, and heated like an
oven by great fire of coal. At table
hard by the chimney, a tall, dark, sober
looking man sat writing. In spite of the
heat of the room he wore thick sea-
jacket, buttoned to the neck, and q tall,
hairy cap drawn down over his ears;

"We1l, well, captain, replied my uncle,

But it CHANGED that this
fancy of the captains had a
great share in my misfortune. For
though | had promised myself not to let
my kinsman out of sight, | was both so
impatient for a nearer look of the sea,
and so sickened by the closeness Of the
room, that when he told me to run
downstairs and play myself awhile" I
was fool enough to take him at his
word.
Away I went, therefore, leaving the
two men sitting down to bottle and a
great mass of papers; and crossing the
road in front of the inn. walked down
upon the beach. With the wind in that
quarter. only little wavelets, not much
bigger than had seen upon lake, beat
upon the shore. But the weeds were
new to me-some green, some brown and
long. and some with little bladders that
cracked between my fingers. Even so
far up the firth, the smell of the sea
water was exceedingly salt and stirring
the Covenant, besides, was beginning to
shake out her sails, which hung upon the
yards in clusters; and the spirit of all
that I beheld put me in thoughts of far
voyages and foreign places.

Brief Hints.

Meat and fowls may be made more
tender if, when they are boiling, tea
spoonful of vinegar be added to the
water.
The addition of a little salt to sweet
foods helps to bring out the flavor, and
acid things are improved by the addi-
ton of a little sugar.
White suede slippers may be cleaned
with equal parts of powdered alum and
fullers' earth. Apply to the slippers
with a dry brush and rub them until
cIean. For glace kid slippers use gas
oline and apply it with flannel cloth.
Kerosene oil may be entirely removed
from light carpets, rugs or wooden goods
by covering the oil spot thickly with
DuckWheat flour and letting it remain
twelve hours, then brushing it off and
applying fresh -four until the oil has
entirely disappeared

Washing Lace Curtains.


It always pays to have frame of
light wooden strips to dry curtains on.
1t should be the exact size of the cur
tains, so that they may be stretched on
it when wet, and dried in this way.
Tack strip of long cloth on all sides of
the frame, and pin the curtains evenly
to this strip at the bottom, top and
sides. Or if you prefer, they may be
basted to it, though this is more trou-
BILE. Almost any variety of curtain can
be washed by the method given, Ex-
pensive Brussels curtains had better
be cleaned by regular French scOurer
who understands how to handle real
lace. Before touching the curtains
make strong soapsuds of hot wafer
in which tablespoonful of boraX has
been dissolved for every gallon of
water, and half q bar of soap shaved
and melted for every tubful of water.
Put the curtains in this water. Souse
them up and down and let them soak
well covered over night. The next
morning examine them, put them
through a wringer and throw them into
fresh soapsuds. Souse them repeatedly
and scald them in a clothes boiler and
rinse them as carefully as possible in
two or three rinsing waters. If they
are white blue them little, but bleach
them, laying them on the frames on the
grass. II they are creamy in color dIy

spoonfuls of strong coffee to preserve

Fercas = ronnd Gardens.

There should be no fences except
those put up for temporary protection,
and that can be easily taken down
around the garden. If a permanent
fence is built it is always in the way,
and becomes a harbor for weeds, which
will grow at all the more luXuriantly
because the garden is rich. Neither
should fruit trees be planted around
the garden for like reason. The fruit
garden ought to be by itself, and On
the farm it is better to grow all the
tree fruits in the main orchard, that
can then be fenced in and used as a
pasture for pigs.

Selling Young PIGS.

There is always profit in breeding
pigs, providing the breeder is not too
greedy, and is willing to sell his stock
at reasonable rates. Live and Let live
should always be the rule. In nothing
is this more true than in the breeding
and sale of stock 1t is very easy
to get surplus of stock greater than
can be either kept or fattened with
profit. AS the pigs grow older it costs
more to produce a pound additional
growth, and what is worse, this extra
weight is not worth so much per pound.
as is that Of the smaller pig. The sow
pigs may be worth more as they grow
older if set to breeding, but the farmer
who breeds pigs largely to sell while
young does not wait for the sows to-
get to breeding age before disposing
of them. He leaves some Of the profit
to the purchaser of his stock, as every
stock seller ought to do. If no one did
this the race of buyers would quickly
run out, and then the grower of young
pigs would be worse off than ever.
