WOMEN AND HOME.
A Few Household Hints and Matters
Of General interest.


When a lemon is halved or quartered
and left unused, q tumbler turned over
It. protecting it from the air, win keep
il from drying or molding for several
days
There is nothing better for cleaning
steel knives than a raw potato dipped
in fine brick dust. Cut Off n slice of
potato so as to have raw surface, dip
in finely beaten brick dust, and rub
the knives until they are bright and
clean. 1t does not wear out and break
the ends of the blades, and requires no
strength at all.
II your vegetables are not fresh, they
will be improved by letting them stand
in cold water for an hour or more. af-
ter they have been prepared for cook
ing. This is noticeably true of celery,
which may be crisped surprisingly by
being placed in cold water for several
hours.
Cold soda or baking powder biscuit
may be warmed up by dipping each
one quickly into cold water and plac-
ing in pan in n moderately hot oven.
Light rolls should have tops and bot
toms brushed over with cold water
and treated in the same way, unless
left in the oven to rebake and thus get
hard their last estate is equal to the
first" and they can scarcely be told
from those freshly baked.
An old method to get rid of cock
reaches is both simple and efficient.
This is by the use of the common red
waters that may be had at any station
er's. and which are, it seems. a food
much esteemed by the insects They
eat them greedily and die from the ef-
fects.

A Handy Wrapper.

Every woman should have hanging
at the head of her bed, or some handy
hook, a dark, heavy wrapper to slip on
in case of night alarms
Unless there is much sickness in the
family. there is seldom any need for
it, but in times of fire accident, it is
needed so badly that one is amply re-
paid for the making.
Dark blue flannel is the best material
and it should be large and simply
made. so that it can be slipped ON in
a moment.
When in a great hurry. ones clothes
have a way of hiding, or getting on
wrong side out, and refusing to hook
together; vet a lady feels disgraced to
be seen so, even in emergencies.
Such a garment is a necessity when
travelling in a sleeping car; while in
cold weather it is needed for health's
sake and all the year around for ones
peace Of mind.-Farm Journal.

A Bishops Advice.

In presenting prizes at the High
School for Girls, Terrace, the othes
day, the Bishop of London remarked
that he was much struck by the an.
swers he received when he put to
ladies Of wealth education and position
the question, "What would you do for
a living if your wealth were swept
away?" Some-and there were very
many-said they would "go on the
STAGE" apparently almost every other
young woman thought she was a born
actress. Others said they would ba
singers or hospital nurses. Generally
the answer was. "Oh, l suppose /
should have to become n general ser.
want: and q very bad one I should be"
The Bishop very wisely remarked that
there ought TO be some definite purpose
animating the studies and work of all
girls

lambs on SCREENINGS.

One of the great industries at South
st. Paul is sheep feeding. Last win
ter nearly 100000 sheep and lambs
were fattened at that point and vicin-
ity. The Stock Yard COMPANY has
capacity for feeding about 300.0OO
head. The barns or sheds are made
to hold punches Of 1000 and 5000.
The barns holding 1000 are rented to
feeders at $3.50 per year. Feeders buy
screenings at the great Minneapolis
mills and hay wherever they can get
it the cheapest. At present ground
corn is worth S11.50 per ton, screen
ings $3.50 per ton, and hay S6.5O0
$500 per ton. Feeders mix hay with
heavy screenings, merely for bulk,
and straw is used to good advantage
On straight screenings it takes about
80 days to fatten sheep and 10 to l20
days to fatten lambs.

A Horse wIth stamIna.

The ideal horse that would be fun
of stamina, as we call it, would have
deep lungs; the depth counts a good
deal more than width, for easy and
long breathing. Second, the horse
must have spirit. Third, he must have
lots Of ambition. Fourth, his bones
must be smaller and more solid than
a draft horse so as to give strength
with light weight. Fifth. he should be
inclined to be tall for the weight.
Sixth he should be muscled in hard
bands and appear knotted when the
horse is in motion. Seventh, the bar
rel should be round and clean SO as
not to show guilty at all, and the two
ends of the horse should look a little
large and deep for the body. Eighth,

ties pre-eminent will always have a

Feathers.

Chicken feathers are growing in de.
mand, and especially is this true Of
dry-picked. White duck feathers
would sell for as much as goose
feathers If it were not for the fact
that they have an odor that il is i'm
possible to entirely remove. Their fill
ing capacity is equal to goose feath-
ers. With chicken feathers the color
makes but little difference. but the

LOSS BY WASTE.
A Plan Of Economy Made by Bright
Woman.

Woman.
/ think our brothers could save many
penny by being more systematic,
says a woman writer in an exchange
III grocers, merchants and manufactur-
ers were as careless as the farmer
there would be more failures than
now. There are So many avenues Of
waste on a farm, what is the condition
Of your granaryf Are there holes and
cracks for the grain TO run through
and waste2 l sometimes think farmers
would make more money II they sold
o crop when harvested, as there is so
much lost by shrinkage and waste.
Farmers are sometimes careless with
harness, blankets and whips. There IS
$40 much money invested in such ar
ticles around a farm It requires much
care TO keep them in order Each farm
er should have q cupboard for such ar.
iicles. He should also have a place for
nails, tools. etc, and keep them in their
places. Some are careless about leaving
boards around with rusty nails in for
the stock to step on. Such should be
picked up for they are dangerous. Are
your corn cribs so arranged that the
chickens can help themselves, thus
wasting the corn and uniting them
selves for laying? 1t Is an established
fact that hens win not lay when they
ure too fat.
l wonder how many farmers arm
themselves with n hammer and nails
on their tours around the farm so they
can nail a loose board on fence or
building. You viii find that our grand
mothers adage "A stitch in time saves
nine" will apply out Of doors as well
