suMMER CARE OF nLANKera

Blankets which have been used all win.

and should be washed before putting away.
Many housekeepers satisfy themselves by
shaking and airing their blankets rather
than risk spelling them in washing. But
this is mistake, for IL the work Is prop.
erly done no shrinking will take place, and
the heecy soft appearance may be retained,
% we'll the color, for years. The necessary
thing In washing blankets is to have plenty
Of soft water and good pure soap. Inferior
soap is really the cause Of the damage
done wooden goods in washing. It hardens
the fibre and yellows the fabric. When
ready to begin the work shake the blan.
kets free Of dust, fill q tub half full Of hot
water. Dissolve third of cake Of Ivory
Soap in 1t. Put one blanket in at q time.
Dip up and down and wash gently with
the hands. Never rub soap on blankets,
or wash them on the washboard. After
the blankets are clean, rinse in warm water
until free Of suds. Add little blueinR to
the last water. Shake and squeeze; then
hang on the line until dry. Take down,
fold, lay under a weight for day OF two,
and pack securely in box and cover.
Blankets thus washed will retain their
original freshness as we'll as wear three
times as long as IL put away soiled year
after year. ELIZA r. Parker.

DEVELOPING Laxers.

The early Matched pullets are now
large enough to permit Of intelligent
selection. The culls should be disposed
OF, and the best reserved for laying and
breeding. says Farm Journal. II the
cockerels have become sufficiently ma
tured to be troublesome. they should be
separated from the pullets and fattened
ior market. Although the price may
% low now, it seldom pays to keep
early Matched birds for fall and winter
sales. To develop the pullets into good
laying hens. an exclusive diet Of corn
nust oe avoided. They need bone and
muscle, but to get enough Of this out
OF corn they must eat an excessive
quantity of it and this will produce too
much tat. This caution must be heed
ca when the pullets have only o limited
run and but little pasture. In these cir
cumstances with the corn ration, green
grass, clover. green fodder and some
vegetables, with milk and cut bone.

cure healthy development. The farm
er's flock that has the range Of the
fields. and access to a great variety Ct
food, may thrive on a ration of corn
because it is not their exclusive
diet. We have, however, often seen
farmers premises where for two or
three hundred yards from the buildings
the poultry had eaten every green
thing except weeds that was not en-
closed by chicken proof fences. Such
runs become polluted and the fowls
suner for the lack Of insects and green
food. The owner feeds the custom

flock do not thrive and the pullets do
not lay. The development CT pullets

for an ice room. which every man
should have.
Mr.. Thorp then showed his system
Of making artificial ice by natural cold
He had on exhibition model Of q long
box in which the ice is frozen. The
box in which he freezes his ice is IA
feet long, 2 feet wide and 1 foot deep.
The inside Of the box is waxed with
paraf1ne wax, which makes it easy to
remove the ice when it is frozen. The
waxing must be done during a warm
day. and the wax should be used boil
ing hot, so the wax will stick to the
box. In freezing he puts in only three
inches Of water at time and lets that
freeze before putting in more. He has
been using three Of these boxes for
the last few years. With three Of these
boxes you can I'LL an ice house very
quickly. When you loosen the ice
from one OF these boxes you have a
single cake Of ice 14x2x1, which is saw
ed into cakes the size desired.
A feed cutter comes very handy en-
a farm, IL it be not in such shape that
it has to be set up every time it is to
be used.
Q.-How do you build an ice hous.
and how do you pack the ice?
Al would build it about az would
any common building, but would
make the walls double. with lath and
plaster on the inside. and then I
would paint the walls. I pack the ice
with dry snow, and the cracks between
the cakes pack with dry snow also.
do not put the ice against the out
side wall, but leave a six-inch space
which I fill with saw-dust.
John w. Decker spoke on ch ,ese-
making. The cheese industry is in bet
ter shape than it has been before for
many years. due largely to the rass-
age of laws against filled cheese. New
York and Wisconsin are the great
cheesemaking states. At the South
and in some parts Of the North dairy
ing is not carried on to any great ex-
tent. So the states that make cheese
will have to supply not only them
selves but the others. Canaua has
been supplying the English trade. That
is the trade that we are trying to sup
ply with our product. and that trade
requires very firm article in the way

Beautiful Stones to Be Seen at the
Diamond Palace.
Every day in the week and every
hour in the day one can see crowds
around the show windows of THE
CHICAGO DIAMOND PALACE. The
cause Of it all Is the now widely known
White Topaz. The White Topaz, or
carbonated diamonds, have come to be
recognized as the nearest thing on
earth to genuine diamonds, so near in
deed is it that the proprietors of the
DIAMOND PALACE do not hesitate to
place real diamonds in their windows
amidst their display Of White Topaz,
and allow the public to pick them out
ut the selling price Of the Topaz.
The latter stones have all the lovely
brilliancy Of the diamonds, sparkling
steadily and with wonderful fire. The
thousands Of these stones In the win
dows forms one Of the most gorgeous
displays and has proven an attraction
which u one of the features Of Chi
eago.
In order to ind out the Advertising
medium best suited to their business,
this enterprising concern offers to send
genuine White Topaz to all those
who will cut out and send them their
advertisement, which appears else.

THE DIAMOND PALACE, like all
successful institutions, has many imi-
tators, who endeavor to sell cheap
rhinestones and other pastes claiming
they are topaz. We caution the pub
Tic to be careful, as THE DIAMOND

stones.
