has a disastrous effect on the future

One Of our subscribers who has be.

separator is the thing. writes his ex.
perience as follows: I'VE have used a
hand separator for two months and
went from l2z cents a pound store
trade for butter. to from 81 to % cents
cash for our butter fat at a local
creamery. We find that the number Of
pounds Of butter that We can churn
from a gallon OF cream is the same as
the number of pounds of butter fat
paid for by the creamery. The speed
OF the separator affects the density OF
the cream. We brought our test of
butter fat from seventeen to thirty.two
per cent. by learning to get the proper
speed Of the machine by the use OF a
watch. We only TUNED half fast
enough at first and in this way we lost
half our profit.-Field and Farm.

Tbe Care OF Men. C1otbe,.

The cloth of which mems suits are
made needs constant care or it soon
gets dusty and shabby looking. Pro-
vide yourself with a. small cane and
with it beat coats, etc, thoroughly,
then lay them out smoothly on a table
and brush them. You will need two
brushing out sp1ashes of mud and a
softer brush for ordinary use. Take
care that the garments are quite dry
before you brush them, then start with
the collar and work downward.
Light trousers may be easily cleansed
by rubbing them over with dry pipe
clay, letting it remain on for four hours
and then brushing it out.
Spots in black cloth will generally
yield to sponging with equal parts of
hot water and spirits of hartshorn, and
a little borax dissolved in suds made of
good soap and soft water will cleanse
wooden gods nicely.
To prevent coats from wrinkling keep
them when not in use on hangers.
If the elbows or knees get out of
shape lay a damp cloth on them, fold
them up and leave them for couple of
hours. Then lay the garment on the
ironing board, smooth out with the
palms of the hands and pull gently in
every direction till the stretched part
lies fiat. Cover with a cloth and press
with an iron, but take care to have a
piece of material between the iron and
the cloth or a shiny mark will be left,
which will be as disHguring as the for
mer bagginess.

with a square back. This sofa was
covered with dull blue stuff. Opposite
to it was a large and low armchair,
also covered in blue. A grand piano
stood out in the middle of the room. 1t

or photographs upon it. Its shiny black
case reflected the flames which sprang
up from the logs. Several dwarf book
cases of black wood were filed with
volumes, some in exquisite binding,
some paper covered. On top of the
bookcases stood four dragon china

colors. Electric lights burnt just I'M

The vexed question of what to do

Most of US have satisfactorily decided

TOMATOES TO BorTLr-choo..

TOMATOES TO BOTTLE.-Choose
ripe tomatoes. Dip each for one
minute in boiling water to allow
the skin to peel off easily, then drain
well without pressing. Now put them
on the fire in an enameled pan, bring
them steadily to the boil stirring gem
thy with a wooden spoon without break
ing or MASKING them. Then let them
boil steadily for about twelve minutes.
Scald some wide mouthed preserve
jars, then drain well, and pour the to-
matoes, when ready, into these, being
careful to fill them until the Juice runs
over. Then wipe the necks of the bot
ties and screw on the tops, screwing
them down tighter as the contents cool
and settle. When cold wipe the bottles
well, invert them for a moment to see
if they are air tight, then store in a
cool, dark place.
Tomato Chowchow. - Cut up two
quarts of green tomatoes, one large
cabbage, seven or eight onions and
twelve or thirteen cucumbers. Mix
these well, put them into bowl in lay
ers, with salt between, and let them
stand for twelve hours; then drain Off
the brine, cover with vinegar and wa
ter, and again let them stand for an
other twelve hours. Meanwhile boil
three quarts of vinegar for few min
utes with one good teacupful of grated
horseradish, four ounces of mustard
seed, one-half ounce of celery seed
three ounces of ground pepper. the
same of turmeric, rather less of ground
cinnamon and two pounds OF brown
sugar. Drain the first vinegar from the
vegetables and cover the latter with
the above, scalding hot. Let it all stand
till perfectly cold, then add one tea
cupful of salad oil and about three
ounces of ground mustard. Mix it all
thoroughly and store in Jars.
Spiced Tomatoes.-Put into a pre-
serving pan four pounds of good, even
sized red tomatoes with two pounds of
brown sugar. one pint of good vinegar
and one-half ounce each of cloves and
stick cinnamon. Stew this all together
very gently till the tomatoes are cook
ed, but not broken; then lift them out
and set aside to cool. Continue sim

quite cold rebeat them gently in the
