The wise cook will bake the crust for
her lemon and custard pies before she
makes tho pie: then the bottom crust
won't look and taste like half cooked
macaroni.
The robin builds n good, large, sub
stantial nest and could seemingly care
for six or eight young birds but we
have never found n robins nest with
over four eggs in 1t and usually only
three.
Some women are so set In their way
that they will not allow modern con-
venicnCcS which would ease their
household labors to be brought into the
house, prcferring to do their work In
the hard old way.
1t will cost about 81 to give the home
farm name Of its own and have a
batch Of note heads and envelopes print

owner on them. 1t Is n question II 81

We took up some white cedar posts
recently which had been set only six
years and found them decaycd to the
point of worthlessness. A willow post
will last four years and be grown for 3
cents, while the cedar post costs II

The men who held over the onion
crop or bought stocks last fall for the
expected better spring prices have been
most grievously disappointed this year.
There was during April perfect glut
OF this escuIcnt OIL the market, and the
prices were such as to bring tears to
the eyes Of the owners In fact, hun
drcds of thousands Of bushels were
dumped to get rid Of them. A man
takes cha anccs in holding this crop over.
DnriDg the snowy and wintry week
the last OF April we passed on our way

two robins and wondered why these
birds did not have. sense enough to ppt
