USE FOR OLD GLOVES.

Kid Work OPENS L y New field
for Economists.

What to do with old kid gloves is
very frequently source OF reflection
for the frugal-mindcd unitarian averse
to throwing away anything that can
possibly be turned to account. Long
stretches of suede or kid are consigned
with regret to the rag bag and it was
only recently and quite by chance that
a modern piece of Hunts kid work and
a curious old letter case, met with in
curiosity shop, appeared to throw some
light on the question. The mirror case
is one Of those which may be picked up
occasionally with other objects deco
rated in like manner. The foundation
is of deep plum-colored velvet, about
six inches long; the cut-out ornament
laid over this is white kid, pasted upon
blue paper, and fastened down by long
stitches of silver thread; the spangles
are silver, fixed down by short lengths
of silver bullion brought round to form
u very diminntive loop. The center
ornament, as is plainly indicated, is
covered with long threads of silver
twist. The mirror is fixed to back
made of stiff card, and this is united to

LETTUCE EXPERIMENTS.
How the Vegetable Can BE Grown In.
doors at All Seasons Of
the Year.

Lettuce in the vicinity of large cities
is sold by the pound and the point is to
raise as many pounds as possible per
square foot of bench space. The In
diana experiment station, to determine
the best mode of raising lettuce in the
greenhouse, inaugurated a series of let
tuce experiments. A bench was set
with plants, one portion six inches
apart each way and another portion
three inches. Both were cut when the
thicker setting was matured enough
for marketing and the thinner setting
still showed chances for further inn
provement. Contrary to expectations.
it was found that the thicker setting
gave the heavier yield, being 20 ounces
to the square foot, against II ounces
for the thin setting, gain of over 80
per cent. The saving in time for grow
ing the crop and the increased yield
are both in favor of the thicker setting.
A prominent feature of the expert

The front has, after the work is com

junction to the outer border is clearly
defined, so there will be no difficulty
on this point. The little tassels which

time plunge the pots into the bench
with their rims half inch below the
surface soil. In this way the roots are
disturbed but once and a ball of matted
roots and soil is retained when the let
tuce is sent to market, insuring its per-
feet condition for longer period. Two
crops were grown in this manner and
so far as any effect ON the lettuce could
he traced, the results were in favor of
the ordinary method of shifting rather
than retaining the pots, which is also
in accord with what is known regard
ing the early handling of other crops.
To test the value of subwatering, a
bench was arranged four inches deeper
than would otherwise be necessary,
and over the bottom and three inches
up the side it was lined with zinc. The
zinc pan is closely filled with ordinary
soft brick (c) set on edge. These first
had the lower angles Clipped off, so
that there were small open spaces at
the bottom where the bricks came to-
gether. A tube was passed along the
side of the bench, curved around I'M
derneath, and coming up through the
bottom was carefully soldered on.
The bench is then filled with soil over
the brick. The water is run in through
the tube and quickly distributes itself
over the bottom. 1t is gradually alb
sorbed by the brick and slowly passes
up to the soil above. The gauge (a)
shows the depth of water in the zinc
pans at all times. Water is introduced
through the tube (b).
The results from this method of sub
watering have been more satisfactory
than was hoped for. 1t has been used
for crops of lettuce and beans. The
theoretical advantages have been more
than fulfilled in practice. 1t is so serv-
iceable that the station has no hesita-
ton in saying that for some crops in
particular it will be found of the great
est advantage and profit. The extra
cost of preparing the benches, about
10 cents per square foot, is consider
able, but the increased yield and better
crops will speedily balance the account.

HINTS ABOUT MULcHING.
Ground Freezes Hard Enough
to Bear Up Wagon.

While it is best to mulch small fruits
and all young or newly set fruit trees
the time when the mulch can best be
applied can but be determined by the
season. But in order that the work may
be done at the right time it will be best
20 have the material at hand, ready
when the conditions are suitable.
When the ground freezes hard enough
to bear up wagon is the time when
mulch should be applied. The object
is to maintain as even temperature as
possible around the roots and in this
way as fully as possible avoid the in
furious effects of thawing and freezing
With strawberries care must be taken
not to cover too deeply, especially over
the crown of the plant, or there is risk
Of slnothering the plant.
With raspberries, blackberries, cur
rants and gooseberries all the space be-
tween the rows as well as between the
plants in the row can be covered with
some good mulching material.
With young trees space four feet in
diameter around the stem of the tree
should be covered.
Straw, swale, hay, bagasse, cut corn
fodder, or any kind of coarse litter may
be used. Coarse manure can in many
cases be used to good advantage, es-
pecially when, in addition to mulch
fertilizer is needed, as the rain, melt
ing snow, thawing and freezing, will
carry the soluble portions into the soil
The objection to using it on small
fruits is that usually fresh manure cen
tains too many weed seeds.
In addition to preventing injury by
thawing and freezing. good mulch
often prevents injury to it's fruit buds
from late frosts, the mulch keeping the
soil cooler and in this way retarding
budding and blossoning.
To certain extent nulching keeps
down weeds and with small fruits this
is an item.-St. Louis Republic.

Bran for Dairy Cows,

Cows giving milk may or may not
need grain feed when they are at pas
ture. 1t depends very much on how nu-
tritious the pasture is. But we think
they will always be glad to eat bran
mash, made by putting the bran in
nearly boiling hot water, and letting
it cool down to the animal tempera-
ture. No matter how good her feed
may have been through the day, the
COW will always eat such bran mash
as this. We have no doubt that she
needs it, and that thereby the amount
and value of the milk will be largely
increased. If this bran feed makes the
COW grow thin, then will be time
enough to add some grain meal with
it, taking care not to give enough to
get the COW off her feed, which always
results in lessened milk yields, besides
being every way injurious.

Apples from Young Trees.

The first few crops of apples that a
young apple tree bears are apt to be of
large size, but poor keeping qualities.
The extra size is usually because the
tree is growing fast, and furnishes more
sap than the fruit set can use to the best
advantage. Besides, in young, viror-
ous-growing tree, though there may be
many blossoms in spring, most OF
these are drowned out, and the blossom
fails to set. This is most apt to happen
when rain comes at blossoming time.
But we have known warm, dry weather
at blossoming to cause the fruit to
set poorly, indicating that too much
sap in the shoot produced as bad an eff
feet as too much rain outside. If young
apple trees bear profusely and grow
fruit less than the normal size of the
variety it is well to look for evidences
Of the border on the trunk as the cause.

How to Cook Pea Scum,

This very favorite soup needs quart
of peas, three quarts of water, stick
Of celery, two onions, some meat or
ham bones, and pepper and salt to fla
vor. The peas should soak over night
in cold water, and be boiled next day
in a saucepan with the water and other
ingredients. Boil until the peas are
tender, then pulp through sieve, and
boil again. a little mixture should be
added if the mixture seems clogged and
thick. Stir frequently at this stage,
and sprinkle in some dried mint. When
once more boiling, the soup is ready,
and should be served with crisp fried
croutons Of bread. Pea soup requires
to cook fully three hours to be salts

Rye In Place of Wheat.

The rye crop of Russia has failed
this year and as rye is the staple food
in that CO lntry and throughout central
Europe there is likely to be great de-
mand for it the coming year and p1oba-
bly, longer. Rye can be sown so late
that it barely terminates in the fall
and will produce good crop next year
if the land is rich enough. Besides.
the rye crop does not exhaust land as
wheat does. and it will succeed over a
much larger area where wheat cannot
succeed at ali. 1t is a crop that ought
to be more generally grown and used
for food than it il.

Medicinal Virtue In Herbs.

Our grandmothers placed their faith
in siuples, but while we have the vague
notion that herbs are good we have not
the remotest idea what they are good
for. Every housewife should have on
her shelves to aid in cooking fennel,
marjoram, sage, parsley, mint and
thyme. Elder and orange flowers, bay
and basil are also used by clever cooks.
Lime tree flowers and tansy, the broom
and dandelion furnish excellent teas.

dainty dish of greens, while it's roots
dried and ground into powder have
been made into bread. Even the herbs
dried and kept for their fragrance, such
rs rosemary and lavender, lave medici-

CARE OF THE HAIR.

There is nothing that affects the ap-

Of the hair. When a woman finds a
style that is becoming to her, she
should not change it to follow every Gu
price of fashion. If parting the hair
in the middle looks better than q
pompadour, wear it in that way by all
means. Those who are blessed with
curly hair need not worry about waves
and ringlets about the forehead, but
if it is necessary to use crimping pins,
good bandoline is great help. 1t
may be made by soaking ounce seed
in water all night. Remove the seeds
in the morning, wet the hair that is
to be crimped with the water and roll
it up while it is wet. 1t will stay

when Forcing Flower Bulbs.

When bulbs are forced, water for the
first time very heavily, SO that it is a
certainty that the water has penetrated
to the bottom of the pot. This, then,
will be sufficient until the pot is taken
from the dark cool place to more heat
and light. When the pots are set away
for the bulbs to undergo the roofing
process it is a good plan to set them
on cindcrs. This not only insures drain
age if accidentally overwatsred CT

liability OF earthworms working their
way up through the hole in the bottom
of the pot.-Woman's II ONE Companion
