The Care of Brushes.

Good hair brushes are costly items
and a way to keep the brushes st1n
and clean for years is worth know
ing. A Russian coiffeur gives this
recipe: Have ready two basins; put
a lump of soda the size of a walnut
in one and three parts fill it with boil
ing water; the other basin should be
three parts filled with water as cold
as you can get it, to which you have
added sufficient lemon juice or good
white vinegar to give it noticeably
acid taste. Shake the bristles OF the
brush well up and down in the boiling
water till they are clean, then at once
rinse them thoroughly in the cold
water and stand them up to dry in
the air or in a warm place, but not
too near the fire. OF course the backs
of the brushes must not be wetted.

surah in styte Again.

Among the less expensive silks one
is glad to see surah again. No silk is
prettier for simple b1ouses and gowns.
For shirtwaist suits it is admirable.
Pongees come in all colors, especially
blues and grays. Crepe meteor is
fairylike fabric, much more beautiful
than crepe de Chine and incidentally
is much more expensive, SIS a yard
being the ordinary price. 1t is seen
in exquisite shades of red and violet.

On this subject a government bull
letin says: The ground should be
leveled. In the case of the fly in the
illustration the distance from the out
side wire to the house is 80 feet. The
frame of the fly is made of hemlock
posts 2x3 inches in size and 8 feet
high above the ground. These posts
should be set in three rows parallel
with the side of the building, six
posts in each row. The outer row
supports the end of the fly 32 feet
from the building. Hemlock boards
inches wide are nailed to the top
and bottom around the sides and an
additional 4-inch board is nailed be-
tween at such a height that a netting
four feet wide will reach from it
to the strips above and below. This
gives a wire wall feet high. The
fly is divided into sections correspond
ing to the sections in the house.

KILLING Thisties.

From Farmers Review; In reply to
the person who asked in a recent num-
ber of the Farmers Review how to get
rid of thistles, would say: He has
hard task on his hands. By frequent
plowing and cu1tivating for an entire
season and then seeding down to
clover it may be possible to get rid OF
them. When Canada thistles once get
good foothold on a farm they are
very hard to exterminate.-S. J. Shan

Cheese and Butter Making. -


The dairy commissioner of Iowa
says: Not only is the dairy business
one of magnitude and Importance to
the country at large, but it is one that
is adaptable to a wide variety of con-
ditions, SO much so that l presume
there is no one product Of the farm
that can be produced proftably in so
many parts of the country as butter,
and to some extent the same is true Of
cheese. 1 verify believe that a man
can make a dairy pay, and pay weH.
in every state and territory of the
union except in those arid regions
where animal life cannot be supported
at all. But while this may be true,
speaking relatively, it is not true that
all parts of the country are equally
adapted to dairying; nor Is it probable
that dairying will ever be a large part
of agriculture in certain sections OF
the United. States. From Massachu-
setts, Rhode Island and Vermont west
ward, the great dairy states are con-
tfnuous; New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska.
Missouri. and probably the Dakotas,
when they have developed a little
more.
Butter and cheese are so closely
akin in commercial sense. and in a
dairy sense, that one would naturally
suppose they would be in proportion
ate quantities where either of them
is made. Not so; New York makes
127,000,000 pounds of cheese; Wis
consfn, $4,000 600; Ohio, $4,000, 900;
Michigan, 100000, and the other
states still less amounts. In butter
making, the rank of the states is:
Iowa, 9,220,552 pounds; New YoAk,
lis, ,40S,37 pounds; Pennsylvania,
III, ,358, ,z46 pounds; Wisconsin, 106,-
552,649 pounds; Illinois, 86,548, ,762

Dieestine Hay and oats.

DfqeSeinq Ray ana oats.
One Of the most interesting of the
lines of investigation followed in an
extended series of experiments, car
ried on under the direction of Pro
fessor Zuntz at the Agricultural High
School in Berlin, was the determina-
ton OF the energy required to chew
and digest different foods. The ex-
periments were complicated and too
extended to describe here except in
very general terms. They showed that
the respiratory quotient, i. e.. the ratio
OF the carbon dioxid excreted in the
breath to the oxygen consumed from
the air, is a very delicate index Of
the changes which take place in the
body. 1t was found that the internal
muscular work expended in chewing,
swallowing and digesting food could
be determined by the variations in
the respiratory quotient and in the
amount of carbon dioxid excreted
when this kind of work was performed,
as compared with the amount when
the animal rested. Different feeding
stuffs modified the respiratory quo
tient in different ways, and it was evil
dent that some required more labor
for digestion and assimilation than
others. This is a matter of considera-
Bile Importance, for it is evident that
if two feeding stuffs of practically the
same composition are digested with
equal thoroughness, but one requires
for digestion and assimilation the
expenditure of more internal muscular
work than the other, it is really less
valuable; in other words, the two may
contain the same amount of digestible
nutrients, but one causes the body
1o1 il1fo
other. On the basis of Zuntz's aver
age figures of composition and digesti-
bility, 1 pound of hay furnishes O.391
pound of total nutrients, and 1 pound
of oats 0.615 pound of nutrients. AS
regards nutritive value, hay and oats
are therefore commonly said to be TO
each other as 400 : 600. AS shown by
the experiments referred to, O.213
pound, or 20 per cent of the total nu-
tritive material present in one pound
of oats is expended in the labor of
chewing and digesting them. In the
case of 1 pound of hay, 0.192 pound,
or 49 per cent of the total nutritive
material, is required for the same pur-
pose. Therefore hay and oats stand
really in the proportion of 200 : 400.
In other words, oats surpass hay In
feeding value two and one-half times
instead of one-half time, as they are
ordinarily assumed to do.-Prof. C. =.
Langworthy in Government Report.

linked with Southern history. His article
shows that he is not only in sentiment
alien to the policies essential to the pre-
servation of Southern civilization, but
that he is hostile to the spirit that domi-
mates the South today and must always
dominate it if the white race is to pre-
serve its purity and it's power.
If a man sets fire to your house, are
you to excuse him under the plea that
he always was careless of fire? If a man
in an institution of learning in North
Carolina where conditions demand the
continuation of the present policy as to
the races that has become the fixed policy
of the South, deliberately writes an ar
tice that would undermine the pillows
of Southern civilization, can it be safely
condoned?
DR.. Bassett's offense is as serious as if
he had written an article attacking the
most vital doctrine of the Methodist
church He does worse than that: he
writes words that tend to dishonor a
wise and necessary policy in the South.
Once let the ideas in the Bassett article
become widespread, and then the civiliza-
ton of the South is destroyed. He has
committed the only objectionable sin.

The faculty of Trinity College deem that
the proposal to terminate Prof. Bassett's

of certain opinions advanced by Dr. Bas

those opinions, and hence are very far
from Undertaking any defense of them.
