Mustard Pickle.

One quart each of small whole GU
cumbers, large cucumbers sliced, green
tomatoes sliced, and small button on
ions, one large caulifiower divided into
f1oWerets, and four peppers cut fine.
Make brine of four quarts of water
and one pint of salt, pour it over the
mixture of vegetables and let it soak
twenty-four hours. Heat just enough
to scald it, and turn into a colander to
drain. Mix one cup of -four, six table
spoonfuls Of ground mustard and one
tablespoonful Of turmeric with enough
cold vinegar to make a smooth paste,
then add one cup Of sugar, and suf1i-
Gent vinegar to make two quarts in
all. Boil this mixture until it thickens
and is smooth, stirring all the time,
then add the vegetables, and cook until
we'll heated through.

Much Of the isolation Of the farmer Is
caused by the time consumed in finding
his residence, says Farm and Home.
A certain numbered house on GER
tain named street makes one at home
in town, but the farmer is a stranger
in a strange land when seeking a fell
low farmer in an adjoining county.
The wide-awake agriculturists of Con-
ira Costa County, California, a few
years ago set about to remedy this I'M
fortunate condition and adopted what
has since been known as the Textbook
system, that is, the naming and meas
uring of all country roads and dividing
them into ten blocks to the mile. The
enactment of the plan was secured
from the county board of supervisors
and work under it was begun at once.
Roads were named in as long lengths
as practicable. Names Of towns and
living residents were not used. Some
landscape feature, some historical as
sociation suggested the name. Bear
Greek road, Lime Ridge crossing, Lake
Connex, Mountain drive, Walnut way,
Vista Rio, Granger exit and Happy Val
ley local are examples. A list of the
roads was made, beginning with those
going northward from the county seat,
followed by those going easterly, south
erly and westward. Complete records
as to local objects are kept and guide

Poultry Pointers

Preserve the fallen leaves for the
scratch pen in winter.
Get the poultry accustomed to rOost-
ing under shelter before cold weather
sets in.
A good thing for the chickens is to
char a lot of corn occasionally and
let them pick at it.
Don't fail to have gravel and road
dust in goodly quantities put away for
use about poultry quarters during Win
ter.
It is claimed by many that hen will
lay more and better eggs during an en-
tire year if she is allowed to raise one
lot of chicks.
Eggs upon which a fowl is sitting
are not all Of the same temperature;
those upon the outside are cooler than
those on the inside.
Eradicate the chicken lice by clean
ing out and burning out old nests, and
whitewashing frequently. Spray the
roosts and inside Of the poultry house
freely with coal oil and carbolic acid.
If charcoal and sulphur are burned
in a poultry house we will guarantee
that the house will be rid of lice. Sprin-
kle the sulphur on the charcoal and
shut the house up tight. Nothing can
live in the fumes.

For the Dinner Table.


Flowers are luxury not always pos
sible when economy has to be consult
ed, but every good housekeeper feels
a pride in having her table look pretty,
and flowers give dainty touch that
nothing else seems to possess. Ferns
and green plants that will grow are
within the reach Of even a slender
purse, and if care. be taken, will live
for some time. Various in size and
shape are the so-called ferneries, china.
silver and even yhite metal bowls and
dishes, in which the ferns are planted.
Silver cake baskets can be utilized for
this purpose, and the silver Che solid
as we'll as the plated ware) bowls give
touch of beauty to the table that is
very desirable.
They do not require a great number
of plants to fill them we'll, and the
new bowls are deep enough to allow
OF sufficient mold to keep the roots in
proper condition so that they will last
for weeks if they are carefully water
ed and looked after.

ment of this dish

boards erected. The measuring begins
at the center of the street just in front
of the courthouse and proceeds along
the nearest line of travel. The village
streets have the customary 100 num-
bers to the block, but outside the limits
the country house numbers are USED,
two to each block Of 52S feet (32 rods)
of road. Odd numbers are on the left
hand, even on the right. A gate on the
right-hand side, with it's right post

house. is 81 blocks distant and is III the
32d block. Hence it's road number IS
Ga, or twice 80. A gate just across the
road would be numbered 63. Halt the
even numbers of q block divided by 10

the beginning. Each house has the
number of the block upon which It's
gate or entrance is located, as "a for
the first house. Other houses, built on
the same block take the numbers 64a,
Cab to 64z. On the fence, or post,
line is placed showing the numbers
and the divisions between blocks. On
the right is Ga 62. On the left IS
marked 81 63. At the end of each
mile (ten blocks) an X is painted inside
a circle. The half-mile is marked by
q in a semi-circle There are 20 road
numbers to the mile. The Textbook
system works as well with houses miles
anart as with these closer, even to 20
feet apart. The distance between any
two house numbers in the country can
he easily reckoned. The homes OF
farmers can be quickly found. Stran-
gers can be given clear directions. The
mileage of officers can be quickly calcu-
lated. Road work can be accurately
located by it's block number. A coun-
ty directory could be printed with farm
names and road numbers of every citi-
zen. A former postmaster general has
declared that the Textbook system of
numbering country roads would remove
the only obstacle to rapid and accurate
free postal and telegraph delivery to
farmers. Contra Costa farmers expect
to secure free delivery at once, under
the new appropriation by Congress for
this purpose.

Good Rutter in Winter.

with care in making the proper ar
rangements, good butter can readily be
made in winter, and the cost be not
materially increased. There must be
fresh cows. Good. warm, dry shelter,
plenty of good feed and water, proper
arrangements for handling the milk
and cream so as to secure the desired
Temperature for cream raising and but
ter making, and with these essentials,
good butter at only a slightly increased
cost per pound can be made. But, the
quality must be good to make the most
out of it, as the consumer demands good
butter in winter, the same as in sum-
mer. and the price is largely determ-
ined by the quality all seasons.

Incandescent Lights.
Incandescent electric lights are

IncandeScent electric lights are used
to illuminate the eyes of mounted ami
mails, bears, tigers and lions, shown by
furriers. Here, obviously, light with
a flame would not do, while the incan-
descent light answers the purpose well
and conveniently. The wire is run
from the head down through the ami
mails body and out through one of it's
feet to a connection with the service
wire Of the store.
Incandescent lights are used in re-
frigerators, such as the ice boxes of
the wholesale dealer in cut flowers and
the butcher Their use in sidewalk
showcases is familiar: in dressing show
windows the flexible connection adj
mits of placing the light where it is
wanted with each new trimming of the
window
They are used in electric signs, some
Of which are permanent, while others
are formed of letters that are nova
BILE, like types, so that the sign may
be readily changed as often as may be
desired. Electric numbers are made
in the same way.
One may see painter at work at
night in a store. paint brush in one
hand and electric light-with the wire
trailing away back of HMM the
other, to enable him to see the better
in some nook or Granny that he is
painting.
The incandescent lamp is used to
light sidewalk awnings. The lamps
are strung along a wire hung under
the ridgepole inside the awning; the
wire and lamps are simply taken in
when the awning is. Movable bill
boards are Illuminated in the same
manner.
