How to Clean Ribbons.

The woman who does not know
how to take care of her clothes may
easily spend small fortune keeping
them clean. Nothing soils more cas-
lily than the pretty sashes now so
much worn. 1t is not hard to clean
them If one has a glass fruit Jar
about half full of gasoline. Put the
ribbons in it, screw on the cover and
leave 1t a couple of hours, or over
night Then remove the ribbons, dry
them in the open air so as to eradi-
cate the smell of gasoline, and smooth
them, if necessary, with a warm iron.
Ribbons of all kinds and colors can
be put into the jar at once and after
the dirt has settled to the bottom the
gasoline can be poured off and kept
for future use. White ribbons may
be washed in suds of soft water and
pure soap and instead of being ironed
they may be rolled, while still damp,
over a wide card or piece of paste
board wrapped in muslin and placed
under a heavy weight. The ribbon
looks fresher when treated in this
way than if it is ironed.

WASHING Cream.

A bulletin of the Alabama station
says: During the last three years con.
siderable effort has been made to find
a means by which the odor and taste
OF wild onion and bitter weed may be
removed from milk and cream. In the
spring Of 1901 the writer was re-
quested to try a patent compound
claimed to remove all kinds of weedy
taste from milk, but II proved to be an
absolute failure. Cooking soda (saler.
atus) was also given like trial, but
failed OF the purpose claimed for It
by some people. Having failed so far
to find anything that when fed to the
COWS would remove weedy taste in
the milk, the next step was treating
the milk and cream. Bitter weed taste
was removed entirely from cream by
thoroughly mixing 1t with two or more
parts Of water at any temperature
above 70 degrees Fahrenheit, and then
running the whole through the sep.
arator. Saltpetre dissolved in water
was tried as an aid In removing the
bitterness, but as good results were
secured without 1t as with II. Rapidly
and slowly heating milk and cream to
various high temperatures did not re-
move bitterness, but often impaired a
cooked taste. Butter made from
washed cream las above) was pro
nounced free Of all bitterness by the
station customers. Butter made from
unwashed cream was decidedly bad
and was often rejected by the Gus.
toners. No means we're found to re.
move the bitter weed taste from whole
milk. In the spring OF 1902 milk and
cream were'treated for the wild onion
flavor the same as In the previous year
for the bitter weed taste.

Weanlnq the Plqs.


The common method Is to shut the
pigs up and let the sows go out In the
pasture, said Wisconsin swine breed
er. Then the music begins. That Is
the way used to do. The sows hung
around the whole day, and then they
got caked and we would have trouble
with them, and sometimes an excel
lent brood SOW was ruined. don't do
that now. l have a feeding floor ad-
Joining my hoghouse. The feeding is
all done on this floor. | shut the
sows in on this floor and allow the
pigs every access to them. feed the
sows all the oats they can eat; give
them all the water they can drink.
The pigs are fed all the shelled corn
they can eat. They go up there, eat
and get to the sows. BY the end of
the week these sows are dry, and the
pigs get so Disguised going up there

more trouble. Now this is not a

SOW that way; feed them nothing but
oats on dry floor and let them drink

Whom the Lamb Comes.

AS the time for the coming OF the
youngsters approaches, the shepherd
will be making preparations, says A.
D. Gamley. If the lambs are coming
in May, very little is necessary to be
done, but if in March, and the sheep
pen is not warm enough for newborn
lambs, then warmer quarters must be
provided. My plan is to have shed
built Of poles, covered with straw and
well banked with manure, into which
turn the cattle, making the vacated
stalls into temporary pens by mailing
a few boards across the ends. Now
for the lambs. AS the ewes bring
them into the warm stable, where the
pens have already been prepared, ex-
anime the udder, draw some milk, so
that the lamb will get ii more freely,
clean all the wool and filth away from
around it, so that the lamb will have
no trouble in getting hold of the teat.
II the lamb is strong, don't be in too
great a hurry to get him to suck, he
will soon find the teat, and the less
they are handled the better. If the
lamb is weak, assist it to the teat,
holding 1t up for few times, or until
he finds his legs. If too weak to suck,
draw some milk from the eve into a
warm tea cup, feeding two or three
spoonfuls at time, until strong
enough to help itself. If lamb is
chilled and apparently lifeless, pour a
teaspoonful of gin in little warm
water down its throat, and submerge
1t once, all but the head, in warm
water, or put in warm oven. The
latter, the hot air cure, | think is
much the surest plan. have brought
round lambs in that way that have
been picked up for dead. Never give
up lamb that has been chilled and
never sucked, without trying one Of
the aforesaid methods for it's recov-
cry; the chances for that lamb living
are good deal better than for an
ailing lamb few days or week old.
AS the Landing progresses, the shep-
herd will have observed that some
ewes are much heavier mixers than
others, and that the poor mixers very
often nave twins; put one Of the twins
on a eve with single lamb and a
good mixer. The best and easiest
plan Is to pick out eve giving indl-
cations OF being good mother, and
watch for her Landing. AS soon as
she has LANDED, and before she gets
up, place the twin lamb beside the
newborn lamb, and roll and rub them
together, which will give the same
appearance and smell to both, and
when the eve turns round to survey
her progeny she will never suspect the
fraud, but will commence licking both
lambs. | have never seen this plan
fail. If q eve loses her lamb, make
her foster twin (alm to make every
eve raise lamb. This requires a
little patience. My plan is to skin
the. dead lamb and sew the pelt on to
the twin lamb, putting the dam and
foster lamb in a dark pen for few
days, always keeping a sharp look
out to see If the lamb is doing all
right. 1t is as well in their case to
tie Mp the eve for the first day or so.
Take off the pelt in "a or 30 hours.

Fashions In Feet.

In Paris the fashion in feet has
changed. The Spanish foot, once the
rage, has now gone out of fashion
and is found fault with for it's thick
hess. North and South American
feet are looked upon as being nearest
perfection. The shape is generally
rather long in proportion to its width
and the 'instep is highly arched. How
ever, the excessively pointed toe is be-
ing discarded in Paris, as elsewhere,
and the fashion is actually to wear a
shoe which has the natural shape of
the foot. The knife blade point has
vanished, not only from walking shoes
and morning top boots but from the
evening slipper.
