Then Mr.. Jobson searched around for
ten minutes for the eggs before he con-

he could lay his hands to, put it on the
range, dropped about quarter of
a pound of butter in it, threw the three
half-inch thick slices of bacon into the
pan, and looked somewhat treasured
when he heard the sizzling and saw the
smoke. He cracked three eggs, break

dumped them into the pan beside the
bacon. Then he went upstairs to get
another bandage for his cut finger.
When ne returned to the kitchen the
coffee had boiled all over the range and

and the bacon and eggs were burned to
cinder. Mr.. Jobson set his jaw down
hard. He cut three more slices Of
bacon and broke three more eggs. and
this time he watched the mess vigi-
antly. Then he set place for him
self at the diningroom table, and, in
just one hour and forty minutes a. ,er
he had started to get dinner for himself,
he sat down in state, with his sleeves
still rolled up to his elbows, and corn
meal paste all over his face, although
he didn't know this. When Mr.. job
son suddenly recollected the corn bread
in the oven, by the way, and got it out,
it was no more like corn bread than
plantains are like onions. 1t was OF

Since the first experiments with the
stave silo in New York this style of silo
has attracted a great deal of attention
and has proved very popular in most
sections where tested. The Cornell sta
ton has recently published bulletin
on the subject, in which the author
concludes, after three years study and
observation on the subject, that the
round stave silo is the most practical
and successful silo which can be con-
structed. The original cost is very
small and no expert labor is required.

There was a time, and that not many

DDS of dairying have changed all this,
and ice has come to be necessity on
all farms where butter is made in any

all farmers, whether interested in dali

When COWS come from pasture the

Never feed the COWS while milking.
If hey are hungry, feed before milk
ing otherwise. feed after the milking
isd,ne. The COWS will wrestle with their
mess. and, being uneasy, they will step,
sto{ the flow OF milk and perhaps kick
over the pail.
1t is best to have solid seat when
milking. A stool with only single

Milk as fast as possible. without
shocking or irritating the animal. The
process is agreeable to the COW, and
she will stand still until the udder is

Never milk with thumb and finger;
it is slower work and will incline the
cow to hold back the flow of milk, and
thus hasten her going dry. Stripping
is not allowed in good dairying.
Never wet fingers or hand in the
milk: it is a nasty habit and ought not
TO be tolerated or praclicel.
Never converse With other mixers
if there are any. The noise made by
the milk will hinder you from under
standing and you will have to stop and
explain, etc. all of which is contrary

Affairs.

The leftover pieces Of baked or boiled
fish should be faxed before they are
cold.
The yoll. of eggs alone should not be
used for covering croquettes, cecils and
the like.
Cracker crumbs absorb more fat than
bread crumbs in frying.
Bread, rolls and other similar dishes
require a hotter oven when mixed with
water than when milk is used.
Oranges or lemons that are served
without pairing should be thoroughly
scrubbed with brush and cold water.
as the tiny black specks so often seen
on the rind are the eggs of an insect.
Iron pillowslips lengthwise instead
of crosswise if you wish to iron the
wrinkles out instead Of in.
Save soapsuds if you have garden,
for they form d very useful manure for
flowers. as we'll as shrubs and vege1a-
bles. 1t is we'll to have a sunk tub in
every garden where the soapy water
can stand till required for watering.
Do not give sick people fried foods or

bread and biscuits and strong tea and
coffee.
\ continual change in the bill of fare
is desirable: one tires of the same des-
sert if seen too often, no matter how
delicious it is, unless possibly ice cream
be an exception.
If part of dish is left over. wait a
day or two before serving again. and
let weeks elapse before preparing it

Keeping the Hair ana scalp Healthy.

To prevent dundruff always use scru-
pulously clean hair brushes and not too
five comb. Do not wear anyt hing
which will heat the head. The follow
ing is recommended as a most excellent
preventive Of dandrutf: Tincture of
can tharides. one ounce: liquid am
monia, one drachm: glycerine. half an
ounce; oil Of thyme and rosemary oil,
half drachm each: mix all together
with six ounces OF rosewater. RIB the
scalp thoroughly with this preparation
until no further evidences Of dandrutf
are noticeable. To keep the hair and
scalp both in a healthy condition it is
necessary that they should be kept
scrupulously clean. II is an erroneous
idea to suppose that by washing alone
this can be accomplished. for if too often
done its effect is TO make the hair turn
gray. When washing is necessary to
remove dust it is advisable to use Il
softening wash, and then dry the kair
thoroughly Home Journal.

Cooperation in Dairy work.

The cooperative dairy in Minnesota,
Litchfeid district, is an encouraging
venture. Even the conservative farm
ers admit that it is a good thing. A
number of farmers living along the
same road take turns carrying the
milk for each other. Immediately
the milk is weighed, sample tested.
and check given showing weight, which
entities the farmer to a certain weight
of skim-milk and buttermilk. He can
take this back with him. no long wait
is involved. They get the pay for the
cream later. The dairying has largely
increased, thus enabling the farmers.to
secure moro fertilizing for their land.
They get better prices, and the value of
land also has almost doubled, to say
nothing of the saving in labor and care
to the farmers wives.
