Spider Web Balloon Netting.

Some ten years ago a French mis-
sionary started the systematic rearing
of two kinds of spiders for their web,
and the Board of Trade Journal
states that spider web factory is now
in successful operation at Chalais-
Meudon, near Paris, where ropes are
made of spider web intended for bal
looms for the French military aero
nautic section. The spiders are ar
ranged in groups of twelve about a
reel, upon which the threads are
wound. It is by no means easy work
for the spiders, for they are not re-
leased until they have furnished from
thirty to forty yards of thread each.
The web is washed. and thus freed
of the outer reddish and sticky cover.
Eight of the washed threads are
then taken together, and of this
rather strong yarn cords are woven,
which are stronger and much lighter
than cords of silk Of the same thick
ness. These spider web ropes are
very much more expensive than silk
ones, but it IS hoped to- reduce their
cost somewhat in the future.

Sticking to One Breed.

There is sense in the advice of an
old stockbreeder to stick to one breed.
At first I was inclined to disagree
with him, for on my own farm have
several breeds of both COWS and swine.
I have always believed that little
diversity in farming paid the best in
the end. If the market happened to
demand one particular kind of breed,
I stood better show of suiting it
with several breeds than if I only
kept one.
But diversity has its danger. This
is especially noticeable in breeding
animals. Ny attention was called to
this recently by man who never
succeeded we'll in anything he under
took. He went into swine-breeding.
The first year he was in love with the
Berkshire pig, and he raised some
fine animals, and, as 1 thought, stood
o fair chance to make some money.
But a neighbor induced him to try a
Chester White, and before another
season he was breeding his whole
herd with the idea that the Berkshires
were secondary to the Chester Whites.
Thea came year of popularity for

Two Crops on the Same Ground.

Two CropS on the same Grounu'
A method of intensive culture which
has made some money for me is to
plow q plot of ground in the fall
and manure it heavily during the
winter, then harrow it in the spring,
as soon as I can work the ground, and
with q one-horse corn-planter plant
the earliest varieties of peas in rows
two and one-half feet apart. I culti-
vate the peas with horse and cult
vator until some time in May, when I
plant early corn with the corn-planter
between every second row of the peas,
leaving the alternate rows vacant,
from which to pick the peas. The
peas are marketed the last of June,
when the vines are removed from the
ground. By this time the corn will
have made quite large growth, aud
the space between the rows can be
cultivated and set to celery, cabbages,
turnips or potted strawberry plants;
or Hubbard squash can be planted in
the corn rows the last of May, and the
vines will occupy the ground between
the rows of corn after the peas have
been removed. Another profitable
combination of crops is to grow early
bunch onions from sets, and follow
them with o second crop of celery,
cabbages or csulifowers.
What to plant and how to plant de-
pend on ones soil and market. I
realize that if T describe methods of
culture which are a success under
certain conditions, others will try
them where the conditions are not
the same and fail to get good results.
The amateur in gardening should be
satisfied to go slow, and not plant ex-
tensively until he has gained expert,
ence by planting small plots. In
market gardening, as in other occupa
tions, it is the trained workman who
is the "hustler" that ''gets there. -

The holes are made very small in each

tin frame is fastened a band that slips
over piece of fine muslin. The milk
in passing through the four sieves,
the three of tin and one of cloth, is
pretty we'll strained. It is some
trouble to keep these strainers clean,
for they must be washed and scalded
after each milking is poured through
them, and the cloth strainer over the
bottom must be renewed every few
weeks. While troublesome, it pays to
strain the milk thus, no matter for
what purpose it is used.-Atlanta

An Economical Grain Bin.

only 25 or 80 cents pair, nobody can

New Uses For Kerosene OIL.

Kerosene oil is good for many
things besides fuel and lamp oil. It
should always be substituted for soap
in cleaning shellscked floors. Use a
cupful to pailful of lukewarm water
hot water spoils the varnish-and
wipe with floor mop or soft cloth.
After scrubbing oilcloth, if a little
kerosene Is rubbed on it and rubbed
dry, the colors of the oilcloth will be
wonderfully freshened and. improved
by the process.
For removing rust nothing is equal
to kerosene. If the article is badly
rusted pour the oil into pan and lay
with the rusted surface in the oil 30
as to cover it. Leave for as long as
may be necessary for the oil to pene-
trate the rust; then wipe off, and
polish with sand soap, or rub with
bath brick, according to the article to
be cleaned.
When your lamp chinneys are
smoked newspaper, wet with kero'
sene, is much better than water for
cleaning them, and after they are
washed the same medium polishes
them beautifully. Only be very care
fnl to rub all the oil off before using
the lamp or it will have o bad odor.
The Objectionable odor SO often no.
ticed with lamps and oil stoves comes
from oil which is spilled in filling and
left to dry, instead of being wi ped of.
On washday cut up quarter of
cake of soap into the wash boiler, and
allow it to dissolve, which it will do
by the time the water comes to boil.
Then stir in teacupful of kerosene
and put in the sheets, towels, pillow
cases, etc.-that is, the clothes which
are not badly soiled. Boil for fifteen
or twenty minutes, stirring frequently.
Then rinse, rubbing them out in the
rinsing water to wash out the soap.
This is all the washing they need, and
you will find them all clean and ready
for the blueing. The kerosene dis
solves the dirt and whitens the clothes
without injury to the fabric.
Kerosene oil is also an effective
remedy for burns-fully equal to lin
seed oil. It contains the remedial
qualities of vaseline, but is a much
less soothing application and the odor
is, of course, Objectionable.

Climate aud Color.

Climate has great effect on tho
color of the complexion. For example,
the Caucasians are of all compilations
according to the climate. but white is
the natural color. Thus, native OF
northern Europe is fair; of central,
less 80; of southern, swarthy; Moor,
more SO; an Arab, olive; and Hindu,

To Remove vaseline Stains.

Have ready moderately hot iron
and four pieces of blotting paper. Put
two thicknesses of the blotting paper
on board, wet the spot thoroughly
with benzine, lay the blotting paper,
cover with two other pieces and press
quickly with the iron. If the stain is
very firmly set a second or even a
third application may be necessary.
Remember that benzine is very inham-
mable and should not be used in any
room containing fire or lights of any
kind.
