CARE or THE HAIR. z
How to Prevent Badness and Pre-
mature Grayness.

now TO Prevent Badness ana Pre-
mature Grayness.
The reason there are more bald heads
among men than women is that the
mans hat, with its tightness around
the head, seriously interferes with the
circulation of the blood through the
scalp, thus affecting the nourishment
Of the scalp and hair, says the New
York Press. The roots of the hair
need to be exercised to give them
strength and the scalp exercised to
keep it elastic and loose. A woman's
hair is exercised in the dressing. The
pulling keeps the scalp loose.
! If women should cut their hair and
wear their hats as tight as men do,
| there would be. as many bald women
as men. Men should wear light hats
and wear them no longer than is nee
relieve the pressure and to give the
fresh air access to the scalp.
| If the hair seems weak, do not cut it
as closely as you have before. Pull it
daily to strengthen the roots and slim
ulate the scalp. Wash the hair only
once month. The frequent washing
robs the roots of the required nourish-
ment. The scalp should receive scrupu-
lous attention, and if the best bristle
brushes are used night and morning
the practice not only will help to keep
the hair and scalp clean, but will give
the friction required for the scalp to
open the oil glands and nourish the
roots.
Rinse the hair after washing three or
four times thoroughly, dry and give
sun bath. If the hair is naturally dry,
dip the fingers in pure olive oil for the
massage. TO promote healthy condi-
ton of the hair and prevent badness
and premature grayness nothing equals
massage.
| The movement used in massage for
the scalp is simple. Place the thumbs
at the base of the skull and use the
| four fingers of each hand with which
to knead firmly. Push the fingers into
the scalp forward and at the same time
in a rotary movement, kneading firmly
] up over the crown of the head and
from the temple in a like manner, COW
ering the entire head. All scalp mas
sage should be accompanied by good
tonics.
Here are few formulas used by
prominent physician:
i For falling hair: Eau de cologne, 2
ounces; tincture cantharides, drains;
oil of lavender and oil of rosemary,
each 10 drops. Shake well and use at
least twice day.
Quinine tonic: Sulphate of quinine, 20
grains; bay rum, 4 drains; glycerin, 4
drains; tincture cantharides, drains;
tincture capsicum, 2 drains; distilled
water to make 16 fluid ounces. Mix
and dissolve and let stand twenty-four
hours. Then filter. Ii color is desired,
add red saunders.
| For oily hair: Witch hazel 2 ounces;
alcohol, 2 ounces; distilled water,
ounce; resorcin, 40 grains Rub well
into scalp every night.
Dandruff: Bay rum, ounces; tincture
cantharides, ounce; olive oil, ounce.
For oily hair. add ammonia, ounce.
Ammonia, soda or borax irritates
scalps with dandruff and never should
be used in the shampoo.

STRAWBERRY RECIPES. Z
TOW to Prepare Some Tempting
Dishes with These Berries.

Dishes With These Berries.
Eaten in moderation, strawberries
are wholesome and cooling. They are
richer than most fruits III potash and
lime salts, especially soda salts. They
impart alkalinity TO certain bodily
functions and are on this account use
full when bodily conditions show a
equity tendency, says the Washington
Star. The following are some of the
many ways of serving this delicious
berry:
Strawberry Whip.-When the berries
are small and not perfect enough in
appearance to serve whole, chill them
thoroughly on ice, then sprinkle with
a little orange juice and plenty of sug-
ar and crush them to pulp and fold
in the whipped whites of two or three
eggs and serve as soon as mixed.
Iced Strawberry Compote.-Pick over
carefully and put on ice in deep glass
dish three pints of perfectly ripe straw
berries. Make a gill of rich orange
strip, add a pint of sauterne and freeze
like a sorbetto. When ready to serve,
heap over the chilled berries spread
with meringue and serve.
Strawberry Sauce.-Put quarter of
cup of butter in bowl. and beat it to
q cream; then beat in gradually half
cup of powdered sugar Beat until light
and smooth. Crush twelve very ripe
strawberries and beat into the sauce a
little at time. If the berries are tart,
sweeten them with powdered sugar
before adding to the sauce. If the
sauce begins to curdle, beat in more
sugar. When done, set on ice until
needed.
Strawberry Charlotte.-Put quarter
of package of gelatin to soak in quar-
ter of a cup of cold water, and when
softened stir it into cup of milk
scalded in double boiler with two ta-
blespoonfuIs of sugar. Stir until dis
solved, then strain into bowl set in a
pan of cracked ice Stir until it begins
to thicken, then stir in quart of
whipped cream favored with vanilla
or sherry wine. Line pyramid bowl
thickly with red ripe strawberries that
have been sprinkled with little lemon
Juice. Turn in the charlotte and set
away to harden.
Strawberry and Gingerbread Sand
wiches.-These are somewhat new and
novel. Bake the gingerbread in round
loaf pan, if possible, so as to have the
round slices without trimming. Cut the
cake in slices as thin as possible with
out breaking. Spread with thick cream
that has been whipped almost to butter
and have layer of ripe berries cut in
half, sweetened and sprinkled with
little lemon juice placed in the center
of each sandwich.

There seems to be quite a diversity
of opinion as to the best time or at
what particular stage of it's growth
grass should be cut to make the best
and most nutritious hay. some claim
ing from analysis made that the seed
forming grasses should be cut while in
bloom. while others from the same
source of information claim that the
seed should be formed before the grass
should be cut, and there are still others
who maintain that timothy especially
should become ripe before being cut to
obtain the best results. An Indiana cor
respondent of The Prairie Farmer adj
vises: Clover should not be allowed to
become ripe, but should in this locali-
ty be cut about the middle of June in
ordinary seasons. AS for timothy,
which is the principal hay crop in this
section, or timothy and redtop mixed.
we prefer to begin cutting as soon as
the timothy is in full bloom and push
ing the work of harvesting the crop as
rapidly as possible until the crop is
secure. By so doing by the time the
harvesting is completed the most of the
farmers here have hay put up in the
condition advocated by all the different
analytical tests. and some portion of
the crop, if properly cured and stacked
or protected from the elements. must
be in first class condition and of the
proper feeding quality. AS hay harvest
ing comes in the busiest season of the
year the farmer must use his best
Judgment as to the time of harvesting
the crop, as his work at this time may

has no control. The one thing he must
do is to make hay while the sun
shines" and to push the work as rapid
ly as possible if he desires to have
good supply of feed upon which he can
maintain his stock in a good healthy
condition during the feeding season of
the year.

STOP UP THE CRACKS.

Make Poultry Houses Secure Against
Drafts and Avoid Colds and Roup.
AS the weather begins to get colder,
especially O. nights, 1t Is increasingly
important that the birds shall be snug
ly sheltered from winds and storms.
We do not mean that they shall be
shut tight up so that no fresh air
whatever can reach them, but that
drafts shall be shut off, for 1t is to
drafts that most of the colds Of au-
tumn and winter are due. The farm
er thinks: "Yes, it's getting colder.
Guess I'll shut the henhouse door to-
night" But he does not recall that
there are several cracks in the walls
frames that he meant to stop up some
time, but he hasn't found the conven-
lent time yet. Those cracks have been
growing larger. The house is only
four or five years old perhaps, and
when 1t was built the joints were
made tight, and the pernicious drafts
didn't exist. The first summers sun
and rains seasoned the boards and
opened up the seams bit in two or
three places, but not seriously. The
next summers sun and rains added to
the seasoning, and in one or two in
stances bit Of light could be seen
through a crack. And so it has gone
on until now there are several decided
leaks in the walls, where the winter
winds whistle through and make pierre
ing drafts in the pen, even though
window and door be tightly closed.
Drafts of air and dampness are the
cause of most of the colds, the dread
precursor of roup, and If we will but
close up those cracks so that cur
rents of air are prevented we have
gone fully half way in heading off
that most troublesome and costly all
ment- And prevention is SO much cas-
Ter and simpler than cure. Any one
who has YEARLY battled through a
siege Of roup will say "amen" to that.
And it Is 80 easy, too, to stop up
the cracks. With few cents worth
Of "Neponset" or "Paroid" or "Rube-

(the nails and tin heads come with it,
a man can close in the walls of the
house and effectually shut out the win
ter blasts. Either of those roofing ma
terials properly put on makes a poul-
try house or barn or any outbuilding
both wind and water tight, and there
after the ventilation of that building
by window and door is wholly within
control. With the cracks stopped up
and direct drafts prevented the fowls
can go to roost at night in comfort,
and the owner will not be likely to
be greeted with sneezes and other
symptoms Of the dreaded colds when
he opens the door in the morning.
Shutting off the direct drafts pays IN
another way-namely, In egg produc-
tion-and is to be recommended for
that reason also. Warmth is a factor
In the production of eggs, and the shut
ting out of the chill blasts is the first
step toward securing that desired
warmth. Absence of cold is warmth.
