Brief Kitchen Hiots.

Put Wornout pie tins in the sink cup
board and use them to set crocky ket-
ties in.
Use pancake litter to place cookies
on the tin, and to remove them when
they are baked.
1t saves strength in beating bread to
use a spoon with a perforated bowl
Cost, ten cents.
Cold boiled potatoes are more appe-
tizing if a little -four is sprinkled over
them While frying.
Rub little butter on the fingers and
on the knife when seeding raisins, to
avoid the sickness.
If there is not batter enough to fill
the gem pan put cold water in the emp
ty space before setting the pan in the
oven.
Crockery ornamented with gilt bands
or figures should be washed quickly
and drained dry, never wiped, even
with soft cloth.
Rub the inner casing of windows that
0uOFt up anu uONu lidIu w I'LL al 14ttlU
hard soap; treat bureau drawers in the
same way.
When black spots appear on dough
nuts, drop a slice of raw potato into
the fat and leave it while the next re-
lay is frying, and repeat.
To clean a kettle III which onions or
other rank vegetables have been cook
ed, rub with a cloth dipped in not,
strong soda water, then wash in soapy
water.
Two one-burner oil stoves are more
convenient than one with two burners;
they are lighter to handle, take up but
little room, and the burners can be
dsed to better advantage.
Use cheap yarnish to attach labels to
maple syrup cans, to cans of tea and
eoffee, to boxes Of spices, starch, ETC.,
and all glass bottles. Never leave
glass bottle without a label.

A Man of Metal.

The Iron Chancellor" has disap-
peared. says the Westminster Gazette,
but there is still Teuton very much
alive who is "a man of IRON in an al
most literal sense of the term. This
came out a few days ago when young
German porter Dragged at a public
house that he was man of iron, since
a SPORTSMAN had discharged at least
ninety grains of shot into his back. He
would have nothing to do with sur
oeons wherefore his brother had re-
moved about half of the load by the
simple expedient of cutting the shots
,,ut with knife. The story was pres
entity brought before the authorities
and the porter was medically examined
With the result that his story proved
absolutely true. His back and arms
were .1arded' with lead balls, which
he carried about without any discom-
for+ whatever. The reason for his re-
l,,ctance to approach surgeon seems
~ have been that the sportsman who
had this marked him was gamekeep-
80 and it was while he was on a
aaacline expeditions that ill-luck thus
befel1 him.

New Ironing Tables.

Movable ironing tables are among
the best things for the woman who
irons, presses out her thin gowns, or
even irons her own fine handkerchiefs
and ties. 1t is the ordinary wooden
board on standard which folds to-
gether and can be packed away into a
small compass when not in use. The
standard can be raised or lowered at
will to make the board the proper
height for the ironer There is a small
board also for use with the same
standard for ironing children's dresses
Or smaller articles. The whole will
cost 81.

Farmers, Keep Accounts.

The farmer who does not keep an &C.
count of all his business and farming
operations Is making a great mistake.
The benefits derived from keeping such
an account are many and varied. 1t be-
gets an interest in ones business to
know the profit on every detail. 1t
forms a reliable basis of knowledge Of
the most profitable departments. There
is a satisfaction in feeding stock when
one knows the profit that is being made.
It enables the farmer to conduct opera
tons on business principles. A good
business man would scarcely think Of
doing business without an account
book. Why should a farmer? Get an
account book and keep tab of your
business. You will get 100 per cent In
satisfaction. l would also advise the
keeping Of a notebook, in which to note
briefly the title and a few general
points of the articles of interest that
occur in the farm papers taken. By
noting the title, name and date Of pa
per, and filing the papers away In
proper order, one can readily look up
any desired article, which otherwise
might requore hours. Try it, and see If
you do not take more interest in your
farm paperS.-EXchange.

Pirst Step Toward Winter Eggs.

Pirst Step Toward Winter Eggs.
The poultry-keeping operations Of
the farm will always be on a low plane
where there is lack of system in regu-
larly getting rid Of the hens after their
second, or, at most, third year, says
Wallace's Farmer. We wish we could
impress this fact upon every farmer
who is disposed to give the slightest
recognition to the part which the chick
ems play in connection with the farm
revenues. 1t is a sheer waste Of money
to build good houses and fill them with
hens which have lived beyond the day
Of their greatest usefulness. Send the
aged hens away this summer just as
soon as they have weaned their brood.
Don't wait until fall, as they will then
have to beAsold in competition with the
young stock, with which the market
will be flooded. You could not find
poorer employment than trying to get
winter eggs from hens over three years
old

Seed Wheat Per Acre.

At the Ohio State University and tx
pertinent Station they have for many
years been testing different amounts of
seed wheat per acre. The first expert
ments were ON rich bottom land. Where
they soWed five pecks per acre the yield
was thirty-four bushels, and where they
put on seven pecks they harvested thlr-
ty-seven bushels, a gain of bushel for
each peck Of seed. It was repeated the
next year on five duplicate plots sown
at each rate. In every case the results
were in favor Of the seven pechs per
acre, it giving enough larger crop to
more than repay the extra cost of the
seed. Tests have been made on the
same farm several years since with
varying quantities, with the result that
best crops were always obtained when
not less than five pecks or more than
seven pecks were sown. Having re-
moved in 1892 to a farm where the soil
is less productive than that first tested,
they have found the most profitable
harvests from the use Of eight pecks
or more Of seed. In unfavorable sea-
sons the best results there have been
from nine to ten pecks Of seed. While
we cannot dispute the correctness of
their tests, we think some Of those who
thoroughly fit their ground get better
results from less than seven pecks than
from more, and it may depend for
profit upon the point Of the compare
tive cost Of extra seeding or of extra
labor in fitting the soil.-American Cul-
tivator.

keen the PIG Growin.

The pig should be kept growing con-
tinually, says an agricultural writer. 1t
requires a certain amount of food for
maintenance. If there are no growth
and no gain, this maintenance food is
actual loss. About twenty-five to thir-
ty years ago good hogs were marketed
usually at eighteen to twenty-four

should be cut out so that the eyes of
the calf will not be INSTRUCTED when
the board rests against it's face. Holes
are bored in the board and straps run
through them in such a manner that
they may be fastened to the halter
worn by the calf.

When beefsteak and onions are in de

more; next dip the onions in -four and

On the great plains in Kansas, Da-
kota, Iowa and the adjoining States,

country LES fat, and the winds sweep
uninterrupted for miles, the landscape
is fairly dotted with them. A number
Of the larger ones grind corn or do
other similar work, but the majority

Broad Tires for Farm Wagons.


The great value of broad tires for
both farm wagons and carts and those
used for carrying heavy loads ON the
road has long been demonstrated be-
yond question. In a recent bulletin is
sued by the experiment station Of the
University Of the State Of Missouri,
the director says: Numerous tests Of
the draft of wide and narrow tired wag-
ons have been made at this station dur
ing the last two years on macadam,
gravel and dirt roads in all conditions,
and on meadows, pastures and ploughed
fields, both wet and dry. The draft has
been determined by means Of a self
recording dynamometer. The net load
was in every trial the same, viz, 1000
pounds. Contrary to public expectar
ton, in a large majority Of cases the
draft was materially less when tires
six inches in width were used than
when the tests were made with tires Of
standard Width-one and one-half
inches.

at Fourth and Market streets about s

in for the repair wagon which was soon
at the place. Meanwhile cars were BE-
