drilous mustache or taking another

with his hand his straggly growth or

he can behind the rims of his small

New Household Ideas.

Squash retains it's sweetness better
when baked than when boiled. Small
squashes are the best.
Large seedless English grapes steep
ed in Maraschino and served in shells
of ice are considered quite delicacy.
Parsley can serve several times II
washed in cold water after each use,
removing any particles of grease.
Chicken or turkey hash may be inn
proved by adding few green peppers
which have been boiled and chopped.
Mignonette is generally grown in a
cool house, and for this reason often
droops when first placed in a heated
room. 1t is well to put it in the ice
box, in water, for a time, when 1t will
revive, and if properly cared for, last
o long time.
Hoarhound candy is made by steep
ing one teaspoonful of hoarhound
leaves in a cupful of water boiling.
When the liquid becomes cold, strain
and add one pound of granulated su-
gar and a teaspoonful of vinegar. Boil
slowly, removing any scum that may
come to the surface, but do not stir.
Drop a little of the candy into cold
water. When it becomes brittle. pour
into buttered tins.

Comfort for Swine.

A model sleeping room for swine may
be cheaply constructed by using heavy
lumber and covering it with tarred
paper. The house should be set up from
the ground the height Of brick laid
fat at each corner and the space be-
tween the corners filled in with boards
to keep out the wind. The floor should
be of plank or cement, and there should
be some division between the portion
where the animals are to sleep and the
clear space in The house. This division
need be nothing more than an eight
inch plank set on edge. Plenty Of straw
should be used for bedding, and when
it is broken up so that it IS too fine for
this purpose it may be scattered over
the floor in the clear portion Of the
house.

The fat boarder was about to leave
the table, says the New York Tribune,
when he turned and said:

you will have, young man, if you keep

Ida listened to no more. For days

At that moment the heavy curtains
parted and George Atwood stepped

Use of Preservatives.

The committee Of the British Local
Government Board has been for two
years investigating the subject of pre-
servatives and coloring matter in
foods, and their report does not indi-
cate the danger from their use that
had been feared by the alarmists. They
name as these preservatives four
classes, borax or boric acid and it's
compounds, sulphurous acid and sui
phites, salicylic acid Or it's soda salt,
which is more soluble, and formaline
or fOrmaldehyde (made from wood al
cohoD. OF these the last Is the only
one in which they could find any proof
Of injury caused by their use. Yet as
milk that is clean and properly cared
for needs no preservatives, they would
run no risks in an article Of food so
largely consumed by young children
and recommend that the addition of
preservatives or coloring matter to
milk offered for sale in the United
Kingdom shall be an offense under the
"sale Of food and drugs" act. They
would have the use of formaldehyde
and it's preparations absolutely prohib
tied, and that salicylic acid should not
be used to over the amount of one
grain in a pint or pound of food. There
is no evidence that it is hurtful in
this small quantity. For butter,
cream and margarine only boric acid
or borate of soda should be allowed
to be used, and that only to amount Of
one-fourth Of one per cent in cream
and half of one per cent in butter.

Prof. A. D. Selby Of the Ohio station
has tested the effects of extreme cold
upon certain seeds, including corn,
Rheat, rye, fax, sunf1ower, castor
Dean, cucumber, mimosa, yellow lupine,
Sain foin and pine. They were taken
right from the temperature Of the room
and immersed in liquid air, for six,
twelve, twentyfour and forty-eight
hours for each lot. The liquid air rep
resents a temperature equal to 80 de-
grees below zero, certainly an extreme
test, for it Is not often that the cold
est portion Of the United States reaches
much more than so degrees below zero.
The seeds were terminated by the side
Of lots not subjected to treatment and
there was no essential difference In the
proportion that terminated. The corn
was not Of high grade, and the starchy
portion cracked badly, but the germ
did not seem to be affected. The eX-
IRENE cold seemed to be favorable rath-
er than otherwise to the flax and rye.
Of course the seeds were properly
dried, that is air dry, before being sub
jected to the test, but with this precau-
ton the farmer need not fear injury
to seeds from freezing weather. If the
castor bean, native of a tropical Gil
mate could endure such cold, our gar
den beans and peas should do so, and
we see no good reason why squash,
pumpkin and melon seed should not en-
dure cold as we'll as cucumbers, or
clover, cabbage, turnip and others Of
the same size as we'll as lupine and
6axseed.-American Cultivator.

Makes a Good Pie Better.

Even New England pies do not taste
as fine with the juice cooked out and
burned up on the bottom of the oven,
and perhaps this deterioration from
loss of the juice has induced Frank
E. Keyes, Of Holyoke, Mas&. to de-
sign the piejuice saver here shown.

metal and has tube extending down
ward from the center to be forced lnto

from expanding and allowing the juice
to escape outside an annular flange
surrounds the cup and is pressed into
the crust when the cup is applied.

HOW Much Grain.

The amount of grain fed should vary
with the individuality of the cows, says
Prof. D. H. Otis. A cow giving thirty
FIVE to forty pounds of milk daily will
need from twelve to fifteen pounds per
day, while a cow giving fifteen to
twenty pounds Of milk will probably
not need over six to eight pounds Of
grain. The amount of grain should
vary with the yield of milk. Give the
cows all the grain they will consume at
a profit.
