Cleaning Silver Plate.

A simple method of cleaning silver
plate is the old fashioned one where
rouge powder is used. First be care
full that the silver is perfectly clean.
It should be washed thoroughly in hot
soap suds to remove all trace of grease.
Dry it and rub carefully with paste
Of whiting and water. This will re-
move all tarnish spots After the paste
has dried and been rubbed off rub the
silver with the rouge powder wet to
paste with little warm water. In a
few minutes, or as soon as it is dry,
polish the silver vigorously with a
clean chamois. It will not be necessary
to polish silver in this way oftener than
once a month, provided the silver is
kept clean with hot soap and water,
thoroughly rinsed and wiped dry each
time it is used. If the use of patent
silver soaps and polishing fluids is once
begun it must be continued, and these
patent processes, which generally con-
tain some acid, ultimately dull the
polish Of the silver. Do not use any
brush to clean silver, except plate
brush, purchased Of silversmith. It
is not stiff enough to scratch the metal
and will thoroughly clean out the in
terst1ces Of any chased or craven work.

way out Of the difficulty I put in some
grain chutes to run from the bins above
as shown in the accompanying cut. In
some cases the chute could be allowed
to drop directly from the bin above
without any joints. Under few circum-
stances will chute with less than half
pitch be satisfactory. Oats will run
through such a pitch with little diff
Guilty. Wheat or rye will follow even
less slant, but with bulky stuff like
ground feed there is considerable dan
ger of clogging.
The interior Of the chute ought not
to be much less than six inches square;
six by eight would be even better. The
interior should be free from all obstruc-
1tions. The hopper-shaped device just
under the bin is quite necessary with
oats and ground feed to give greater
headway. The cutoff, a, is an ordinary
draw supported by two cleats on either
side. An extension is also made to the
rear board of the chute SO that it pro-
jects about half an inch outward, thus
giving chance for holding bag it
necessary.-C. P. Reynolds. in Ameri-

The !" Den."


A woman who planned her own
house and built it in accordance with
her plans had small bay window
room reserved for "den." The hard
wood floor was covered with dark
blue Japanese rug, and the walls were
papered in dark blue, with a Japanese
design in gold running over it. The
room was furnished in the simplest
manner with a couch covered with a
Japanese cover and piled with gayly
colored japanese pillows. It also con-
tained small desk with writing ap-
pointments. The walls were lined
with bookcases, whose shelves were
filed with works Of fiction. The bay
windows were shaded by awnings.

was intended primarily for rest and
recreation, and there the tired house
wife would find relaxation for mind
and body after the harder work of the
day was over. Every afternoon direct
ly after dinner she spent an hour there
resting On the lounge and enjoying a
chapter from Thackeray or Dickens.

A Bee House.

I make it in sections of ten feet be-
tween posts, and I put five hives on
each side or one hive to foot Of
length, allowing eight inches between
the hives. If all are painted white the
bees could not tell their own home, SO
put six-inch figures on the hives,
using just common shoe blacking with
stencils. find the figures very conve-
nient in keeping record, for the bees
are just like men; some are good work
ers and some are lazy. I make a rec
ord of the extra good and also of the
poor ones, and the next season make
divisions from the best to replace the
poor ones. so with care can breed up
my stock instead Of letting it run down
as some do.-Beekeeper, in The Epi-

Nests belong in quiet, retired places,
and should always be situated to avoid
a draught, especially is this true of
nests on the floor. Many poultrymen
cannot understand why it is that their
pullets should start in laying nicely in
late fall or early winter only to con-
tract cold and then stop. Draughty
nests are at the bottom of this, for
nothing in chickendom more readily
contracts cold than a chicken in the
first flush Of laying.

When Dogs Go Mad.

,"Speaking OF mad dogs" said a man
who deals with members OF the canine
tribe for the various ailments to which
they fall heir, ''the popular belief that
dogs go mad because they cannot get a
sufficient quantity Of water is not al
together correct No doubt a lack OF
water at certain seasons Of the year
has a great deal to do with'it. Dogs
need a certain quantity of water, and
they must have it, else they will suffer
that kind of>mental impairment called
rabies. But the most potent factor in
producing rabies, or madness in dogs,
is the lack Of meat, the lack of blood
in the food they eat. The dog is car
nivOrous He must have meat. His
system calls for a certain amount Of
blood food, and when he fails to get
this he is denied that Which is essen
| tial to his being. More dogs go mad
on this account tnan for any other rea-
son. They are not given the right kind
| of food I recall one instance of a
dog in mountainous region in AZ
| kansas that went mad. He had simply
starved on account Of lack OF blood.
! Before he became violent, and utterly
crazy, he had attacked a calf and
had fearfully lacerated zone of the
calf's legs. He was wild for the taste
Of blood. We find in this an eNplana-
tion Of that ferocity the dog shows in
theaearlier stages Of his madness in
attacking animals Of various kinds.
He is blood-mad. If dog owners would
see to it that the dogs get more blood,
more Of the kind Of food the dog na-
ture demands, there would be fewer
cases Of dogs with the rabies. New

The business manager OF the
Eastern Shore Produce Exchange
has Just returned from tour OF
many States in the interest of the
organization and brings back reports
of the most encouraging character
from every section visited by him.
The packages shipped under the
brand of the Exchange, he was in
formed everywhere he went, had
been received as honest ones last sea-
son, had for the most part given
satisfaction and would be in greater
demand this year if kept up to the
standard. He was advised also that
a preference already was being given
to our produce and higher prices paid
for it than any sent to market. Such
a report is, of course, gratifying to
every member OF the Exchange and
in the light of these facts and the
losses sustained by us in the past by
our methods of shipping our produce,
every sensible farmer must see that
it is his duty to stand by the organ
ization and help it along to greater
success, both in the preparation of
our produce for market and in giving
the measure which the law requires
of us which the exercise OF lit
tie common sense should teach us is
for our best interests.
