LADIES' COLUMN.
q WORD ABOUT DlSHCLOTHS.

Nearly every housekeeper has a
favorite material for dishcloths. Some
people utilize pieces of stockinet for
this purpose. While these are soft,
they are not strong, and are, there
fore, unfit for their purpose. Itshould
be remembered that any cloth with
interstices into which matter may
clog is not desirable. Therefore we
must reject all the soft dishcloths
knit of candle wick or any heavy cot
ton. 1t is very difficult to keep such
knitted cloths sweet and free from all
suggestion of germs.
A smooth linen crash, such as is or
dinarily used on stairs, is about the
strongest material that can be found.
1t is stiff at first, but in a short time
it wears soft. 1t is smooth, and has
no mesh in which slime and the
debris of food can lodge. 1t can
be easily kept clean, and is so strong
that it can be purified with sal soda
and scalding water, rinsed and dried
in the sun, withouU being rotted in
fiber, as lighter cloth would be.
The crash costs about 25 cts yard
One yard will make, when hemmed,
four dishcloths. These four cloths
will outwear dozen made of stocki-
net or any other material ordinarily
used.
There should always be ali iron dish
cloth in every kitchen. Choose one
that is double, SO that the hand can
be thrust into it to clean kettles. The
dishcloths with scrapers attached to
them are awkward articles to handle.
1t is better to pay few cents more
and purchase a good steel scraper.
The best paint and floor cloths are
made of small pieces of remnants of
woven merino underwear. These
remnants and scraps are sold by the
pound at the factories where under
wear is manufactured. A years. sup
ply of new, strong pieces may be Sc
cured in this way for the expenditure
of % or 80 cents.
Such cloths are loosely woven, and
nave certain percentage of wool
i'll their make, which renders them
soft. They are altogether better than
any hard cloth of heavy cotton They
absorb water better and are more
easily washed out.
The good housekeeper of to-day
invariably hens her busting cloths,
which she makes of & soft cheesecloth,
about IL or Ia inches square.
Both dishcloths and busting cloths
should be put through the wash regu-
larly and fresh supply given out
ca III week. This is done in order
that they may pass inspection regu-
larly.
They should be washed out care
fully every day they are used, and
dried at least once in the twenty four
hours in the open air. This will pre-
vent any danger of ssdeath in the
dishcloth' in the shape of mold and
the germs of disease so often bred in
putrid and offensive cloths.

And it came to pass as certain
man travelled from the cradle to the
grave he fell among saloon keepers,
who robbed him of his money, ruined
his good name, destroyed his reason
and then knocked him out worse than
dead. A moderate drinker came that
way, and when he saw them he said:
He is but dog; they served him
right. Let him die; he is curse to
his family. And also lice nse voter
came that way, and when he saw him
he said: The brute! Put ball and
chain on his leg and work him on the
streets. And fanatic teetotaler
came that way, and when he saw him
he had compassion on him and raised
him up, assisted him to his home and
administered to his wants and the
wants of his family; got him to sign
the pledge and started him on his
Journey in comfort and happiness.
whom, think you, was the greater
friend to humanity-the saloon keep
er, the moderate drinker, the license
voter or the fanatic teetotler?

One may be ever so we'll prepared
to receive a visitor, and yet mako
life burden to herself and her house
hold during the visit by trying to do
too much to entertain the guest. A
little extra work, of course, is inevi-
table, but it is great mistake to
change the whole routine of family
life because a friend has come to share
it. Almost any one would feel ex-
tremely uncomfortable if she felt that
her visit was causing so much trouble.
The ordinary way of life with but lit
tie change ought to be good enough
for anyone but the most formal of
visitors. If it is not, one really ought
not to ask people to come; but should
devote the time and money she would
expend in entertaining, to the i'm
provement of her way of living.
OF course one has no right to invite
persons to her house and serve them
with scant and i'll cooked food or at
an untidy table; but then one has no
right to treat her own family in that
way. What is proper for the family
is proper for the informal guest, and
the wise housekeeper will serve her
visitors such meals as she is accus-
toned to have every day, and save
herself the expenditure of thought
and labor which more elaborate meals
would entail.

A FARMERS EXPERIENCE.
An Interesting Account Of How Corn Land
Wheat Was Made to Yield e
Bushels per Acre.

A South Christian farmer was in
our office Friday, July %, and stated
that he sowed 70 acres of corn land
wheat; on 60 acres he sowed Armer
Bone Meal 100 lbs. to the acre Nine
acres were sowed without fertilizer
The GO acres and the 9 acres were all
in the same field and was the same
grade and character of soil. Sixty
three acres produced II bushels more
per acre than the 8 acres that were
not fortified He figured the invest
ment out as follows: Fertilizer used
was Armor Bone Meal. He used 100
pounds per acre on 63 acres. This
cost $l.50 per 100 pounds or $94.50 for
the SO acres.
He sold his wheat for 65 cents per
bushel and gained II bushels per acre
on 63 acres by using the fertilizer, or
693 bushels
This at 65c pei bushel equals $450.45.
Fertilizer 600 lbs at 1.50 cost $3.50
Net profit from using fertilizer $355.95
And that rs not all; he was told by
the parties who received his wheat it
was the best No. 2wheat they had re-
ceiyed. This gentlemap's name will
be furnished our patrons on applica-
ton and his statements are borne out
by the man who threshed his wheat.
He says that he has used this brand
of fertilizer for two years with the
same satisfactory results.
This is one of many similar instan-
ces we could cite of advantage of jul
dicious fertilizing. A careful test
will bring you the same results.
