Hard Times for Housekeepers.

After mentioning proposition made
by one of the speakers at the great
convention of Woman's Clubs at Mil
waukee for the training of young wom-
en- for domestic service, the Evening
Post says:
Another speaker amused the audi
ence with the remark, Immediately fol-
lowing this statement, First catch
your hare. 1t is all very well to talk
about educating girls for service, but
nv experience is that there are no
more girls left to be educated
The speaker went on to explain that
she came from large city in central
Ohio, and that the supply of girls in
that town was wholly disproportionate
to the demand. Housekeepers were
left often two and three months at a
time without any sort of helpers,
though both love and money were free
ly offered.
Other speakers correlated this state
ment with rapidity and earnestness
that bespoke bitter personal expert
ence. I'm the little village where /
i've" said one, mine families in one
street are taking their meals at tenth
house, where widow and two daugh-
tiers, forced to earn their own living,
do the household work. A few Of us
still have old servants, but when they
die, as they must in course of time,
we shall join the profession of meal
ers.'''

dismay, 'it cannot be! 1t is cruel to

Rose looked demurely at him.
"Harry's own arguments to word,

part is that I love him, and don't love

Planning Household Expenses.

Planning Household Expenses.
Mrs. Richards writes, not for the poor
those with an income OF 5000 or less
but for the great mass Of clerks, teach
ers, business and professional people OF
oil sorts, who are living on $1,000 to
s.. 900 year. An ideal division of that
income would appropriate 20 per cent.
for rent, 10 per cent. for operating ex-
pcnses, /. e., wages, fuel and lights: 10
per cent. TOP clothes and Is per cent for
food, thus retaining % per cent. for
whatever belongs to other than the
merely animal life-provision for the
future, as life insurance and bank fund,
and aids to the intellectual and relig-
ious life. This division rests upon care
full estimates and comparison with the
average of many family budgets. In
applying it to her own account-book the,
family treasurer should bear in mind
two well-established laws: a. The
larger the income, the less the percen-
tage of cost of subsistence; (2) what
ever the income, the cost of clothing,
also of rent, heat and light bears to it
a constant proportion.

Hin to on Washing.

Sort over the clothes, taking the finest
and least soiled first. Spread each piece
out fat on a table, sprinkle little good
washing powder gold dust over the
soiled parts; then fold up and roll in
compact roll. AS soon as you have this
lot all rolled up put them into boiler
half full of cold water, place over the
fire and let come to boil, punching and
stirring several times. Take out into
tub of cold water, looking over each
piece carefully and rubbing any places
that are not thoroughly cleansed; wiring
out into another tub of cold water and
rinse well, wiring and hang out. After
taking out the first lot from boiler, put
in more cold water and put in more
clothes treated as the first lot were. OF
course, the colored clothes must be rub
bed as usual, but l find the washing
much easier and quicker done and the
clothes are as well cleansed as when
every piece is rubbed before boiling

How to Cure Hams.

When the meat is taken up to be
dried wash it in clean water as hot as
you can bear it, and while damp sprin-
kle bOrax over the feshy side of every
piece, and you need not have any fear
Of insects, although the hams and shout
ders hang in the smoke-house until
cured without even sack on them. LIZ
the summer is very dry, rewash and put
more borax on in July and August. Inc
taste of the meat is not injured. 1t is
inexpensive and preserves meat from
faint. Each ham may be tied up in
canvas or paper bag, or they may be
left hanging in cool, dry place and
will be found in excellent condition
when wanted for use.
Shoulders should be cured in the same
way. In smoking meat hang your hams
in the smoke-house and build your fire
of any wood which burns slowly with
but little blaze.

Do Fowls Need Exercise?

AS fowls are ordinarily fed exercise
is positively necessary to enable them
to digest the food they take. A ration
Of grain in large part and other things
in small part means that the fowls
will have to develop muscle and energy
to do the work of grinding. But it is
possible to so feed the fowls that exer,
else will not be Of any value. This is
shown by the French method of fatten.
ing fowls. They are shut up in a cage
and fed on a soft mash several times 9
day. They are given no room at all fol
exercise, yet keep perfectly healthy and
develop meat and fat at a great rate.

wisconsin,s Deep Well.

The well on the grounds Of the Coco
Shepherd, in the town of Wauwatosa
Wis, has been bored to the depth OF
1880 feet, one of the deepest wells il
the world. The contractor has con
cluded that he cannot obtain flowing
we'll and therefore stops. The water
rises within eighty feet of the surface
and is soft, limpid, of excellent quality
for drinking, for washing or culinary
purposes, and is in such abundance as
to furnish water sufficient for the needs
Of 1900 or 5000 persons. The water
will have to be pumped up by an en-.
CINE, which will cost $500, and then the
institution will have all the water it re-
Quires for a century to come.

attached to the teats Of the cow, and
the air is exhausted from the interior
of the can. This produces vacuum
and causes the rubber cups to take hold
on the teats. The interior arrangement
of the cup expands the teat and does

For the Horses.

There is a deal Of horse energy ex
hausted in fighting flies.
Fresh, clean bedding is as welcome
to the tired horse as to the tired, OF
hired, man.
Water horses often as possible; a lit
tie at time is better than a deluge al
long intervals.
Better shady outdoor feeding and
resting place at noon time than a filthy,
hot, fy-infested stable.
Sunlight and fresh air in the stable
constitute fine insurance policy
against sickness and death.
1t is asking a deal of a farmer to dc
much currying Of horses in the summer
season, yet the more of it done the bet.
ter for the horse.
Work the horses easily for the firs1
hour or so after eating. They can dc
their hardest work easiest after the last
meal is partly digested.
It is doubtful if any one little detail
of farming pays better than keeping
horse stables clean and sweet during
the summer. And If kept fyless there
is good profit in them.
For sweet charity's sake, do not in.

Thinning Potato Plants.

An experiment well worth trying is to
thin out the plants in each hill Of pota,
toes-with view of reducing the guam
tity of small potatoes-to one stalk in
each hill. This must be done before
the tubers are formed. The rows
should be at least three feet apart and
the plants twenty inches apart in the
row. While results from this practice
have been really wonderful, it is ad.
vised that each person try it on small
plot before going into it extensively
Not only were all of the tubers of good.

yield was wholly satisfactory.

Selling Vegetables by Weight.


The Retail Grocers' Association Of
Cleveland, Ohio, has adopted resolu-
ton to hereafter sell all vegetables by
weight, even in small quantities. This
should be the rule everywhere, as it
protects both buyer and seller. We once
heard huckster say that no man was
fit for peddler who could not get forty
quarts of string beans out of bushel,
and clerk more anxious to please his
customers than to serve his employer
viii not get much more than three
pecks out of the bushel. The legal
weight for spinach, dandelions and beet
green's there is twelve pounds to the
bushel, but we have seen farmers pack
fifteen or sixteen pounds in bushel
box, and have seen the retailer make
two pounds I'LL peck measure, which
would give about eight pecks to the
bushel box.

Price of Milk in New York.

Milk sells in New York City all the
way from 3113 to Is cents per quart.
Some restaurants buy large quantities
at a low figure and then sell by the
glass or bowl at IL cents or more. Bak-
ers use skimmilk largely, selling the
cream for about as much as they paid
for the whole milk. 1t is fair to say
that the milk for which the farmer re
ceives the present low figure sells on
the average for little over 6 cents per
quart-Rural New Yorker.

A Perfect winter wheat.

Up-to-date Farming tells what per-
feet winter wheat should be. 1t should
mature early, as few days delay in
harvesting may give rust, blight or in
sects a chance to injure the crop, and
it must be prolific in yield. One vari-
ETY. will often produce twenty bushels
or more above the yield Of another on
same soil and similar conditions. 1t
should have stiff straw to prevent the
stems from falling or lodging before
harvest, which will result only in
shrunken and imperfectly matured
grain 1t must be hardy in winter, as
some varieties winter kill much more
than others, and it should have thin
skin. Some kinds have SO thick skin
that there will be several pounds more
of bran and less Of flour than with 9th
err thinner skinned sorts, which makes
them undesirable for the miller. Can
all these qualities be combined in one
variety, and who will first offer such a
variety to the public?
