Quite feature of the seasons

Fans of white lace work, ornament

summer, appeal to the women with
dainty tastes.
Incrustations of lace are the fad Of

idea is to mingle lace of two different
shades-for instance, a light cream
and dark ecru lace-together in one
square medallion.

WATERPROOF WASH.
Walls That Have Been Covered Win
II Have Proved Quite Impcr-
yiOus to Water.

Use two washes for covering the sur
face. one Of CASTLE soap and one of
alum and water. The proportions are
three-uuarters of pound of soap to
one gallon of water, and half pound
of alum to four gallons of water, both
substances to be perfectly dissolved in
water before being used. The walls
should be perfectly clean and dry, and
the temperature of the air not above
50degrees Fahrenheit when the compo-
sitions are applied. The first, or soap
wash, should be laid on when boiling
hot, with fat brush. taking care to
form a froth on the brick work. This
wash should remain "a hours, so as to
become dry and hard before the Sec
ond. or alum wash is applied, which
should be done in the same manner Is
the first. The temperature of this
wash. when applied, should be 60 or 20
degrees Fahrenheit, and this also
should remain "a hours before Sec
ond coat of the soap wash is put on.
These coats are to be applied alternate
lyuntil the walls are made impervious
to water. The alum and soap thus COM
bined form an insoluble compound, fill
ing the pores of the masonry and en-
tirely preventing the water from en-
tering the walls.
The foregoing method, recommend
ed by the Architect of London, has been
given a trial near Philadelphia with
satisfactory results.

THE FARMERS WIFE.
Legislator Proposes 9
Plan Having Tendency 70
Emancipate Her.


Modern invention and scientific re-
search have done much to tighten the
burdens of the farmer. Inventive skill
has not only facilitated the opera
tions OF husbandry by supplying la
bor-saving machinery, but it has
adapted many of the conveniences
and comforts of the city to farm life.
But inventive genius has done very
little for the farmers wife. 1t has
relieved her of buttermaking through
the multiplication of the modern
creamery, but in doing so it has also
diverted the profits of this industry
to the farmers pocket, whereas the
proceeds of buttermaking formerly
were conceded by custom and prece-
dent to the farmers wife.
The farmer has the telephone and
free mail delivery, and he rides all
day long on a sulky pillow or on
reaper that cuts the grain and binds
1t into sheaves. II is doubtless only
question of time when machines
will husk his corn and dig his pota-
toes. But the drudgery of the weeks
washing and ironing is still with the
farmers wife. While the lord of the
fields rides in indolent comfort in .
sulky plow7 the wife bends over q
washtub or wrestles with the hot
irons two days out of every week.
A promise of belated relief for the
farmers wife is seen in the PROPOSE
ton of Representative Frost, of Wis
consin, to establish steam laundry
at every crossroads in the state, to
which the farmers washing and IRON
ing may be brought every week. AS
the state is dotted all over with
creameries and cheese factories, 1t
would be an easy matter. to operate
steam laundries in connection with
them.
There is nothing impossible or Vi
sionary about Mr. Frost's plan. 1t
embodies the principle of cooperation
which has already been successfully
applied to nearly every form of ag-
ricultural activity, from the old grist
and sawmills to the modern cream
ery. Divest the farmers household
of this form of drudgery and then in
troduce in the kitchen some of the
modern labor-saving devices that are
used in hotels and the life of the
farmers wife will begin to approach
that standard of ease and comfort
long since attained by the farmer
himself.-Chicago Record-Hcrald.

until the hens have had run outside,
and as result their eggs will hatch
better.
In connection with the second meth
cd unless the farmer has brooding
house, which permits of his being in
dependent of outside temperature, he
will have to content himself with in
cubator and outside brooder. His out
side brooder is placed on the rapidly
growing grass, and with proper care
and food the young chicks will be found
to make famous progress.
At the experimental farms when the
hens became broody they were set in
wooden boxes placed in vacant pens in
q house. The wooden nest boxes con-
tanned no bottoms and had hinged
door in front. The nests were made
of dry lawn clippings, which were
found to answer the purpose much bet
ter than cut straw. Grain, grit and
drink water were constantly before
the sitters. On being made, the nests
were thoroughly busted with disin-
fecting powder, and so were the sitters
before being put on the nests. 1t was
found beneficial to place two or three
china eggs in the nests as arranged

Am want Improved Hogs.

Breeders of pure-bred hogs say that
they cannot keep up with the present
from farmers who are ambi-
tious to improve the quality Of their
droves. Hogs coming to market now
are much better in breed and quality
than they were some years ago, but
there is still room for Improvement,
and farmers are realizing that 1t costs
no more to feed good hog than q
poor one. In fact, IL costs much less;
a drove of razorbacks could hardly be
gotten in prime killing condition with
any amount of feed.-Midland Farmer.

and allow the broody hens TO sit on
them for day or two. The sitters
having proved reliable, the china eggs
were removed and replaced by the val
uable ones. In the morning the doors
of the nest boxes, which had been
closed from the previous day, were
opened and the sitters allowed oppor-
tunity to get out for food, water and
short run. In early spring. when
the weather is likely to be cold, the
sitter should return to her nest inside
of ten minutes. The foregoing details
are all important in the successful
Matching of chickens by hens.
Late April and May hen-hatched
chickens did the better at the Cana
dian farms. In the case of hen-hatched
chickens the latter were permitted to
remain in their nest for "a to 80 hours,
when, with the mother hen, they were
placed in a Slated coop on the grass
outside. The coop was so arranged that
It could be securely closed at night.
while ventilation was secured.
Through the Stats the chicks could
run on the grass outside, while the
hen remained inside. On the floor OF
the coop was sand to the depth of two
inches. On taking the mother hen
from her pest she was given food and
water. She would be more likely to
brood the chicks contentedly after be-
ing fed than II hungry or thirsty. How
important it is to have early chicks
carefully brooded is well known to all
experienced breeders. The rations
adopted werestale bread crumbs, fol-
lowed by stale bread soaked in milk
and squeezed dry; this for day or
two. Crushed corn was not given un-
til after eight days, and whole wheat
was not fed until the twelfth or four
teenth day. As the chicks grew,
mash composed of shorts, corn meal,
stale bread and a small quantity OF
prepared meal was mixed with boiling
skim milk, allowed to cool, and was
given three or four times per day. Milk
and water were both furnished for
drink.
