THE FAMILY LINEN CHEST.
It Should at All Times Be Kept Per-
fumed with Appropriate
Sachet Powder.

A dainty housekeeper always takes
pride in the arrangement and freshness
of her linen closet. The faint fragrance
of lavender blossoms about the bed
linen is always delight Inexpensive
sachets made the length and width of
the closet drawers are sometimes used
as Innings, in preference to the ordinary
white shelving paper. These satchets
should not, of course, be strongly per-
fumed, but Simply made of one layer of
cotton batting over which little vio-
let or other satchet powder is scattered.
A few dried lavender blossoms are es-
pecially nice. The cotton batting is
covered with cheesecloth in any soft
color the housewife may fancy. The
satchet is then tufted with embroidery
silk and tiny bow-knots of narrow rib
bon.
Sometimes fastidious housekeepers
make sachet strips of white butchers
linen, eyeleted at either end, and run
with No. 1 ribbon. The perfumed pads
of cotton batting are slipped into these,
and may be taken out when they are
sent to the wash.
The simplest way of arranging the
linen chest or the bedroom bureau
drawers is to line them with clean white
shelving paper, and place a small
sachet in each one. If these sachets are
made of glace or India silk in deep
colors, they do not become so easily
soiled as when made of cotton. If a
sachet is to be filled with dried rose
leaves or rose sachet powder, dull rose
colored silk should be used. Lavender
colored sachets are filled'with dried law
ender blossoms.-Kansas City Journal.

MOST VALUABLE MANURE.
If You Have Neglected to Save Poul-
try Yard Fertilizer, Turn
Over a New Leaf.

Poultry manure accumulates rapidly.
but it can be so treated as not only to be
of greater value, but also to lessen the
dlsagreeable odor to certain extent.
The roosts should be so arranged that
the droppings will fall on platform.
Keep the platform covered half an
inch thick with well-sifted, fine. dry dirt
or ashes. To do this first scatter the
dirt or ashes and then over this sprinkle
handful Of kainit German potash
salt), which will arrest the escape of
ammonia and prevent too rapid decom-
position. Two or three times a week
daily is better) sweep the platform with
broom. After it is clean, sprinkle the
platform and room with a solution of
tablespoonful of carbolic acid in a GAL
Ion of water, and then scatter the dry
dirt on the platform.
All the materials of the manure heap
should be fine. When the fowls are at
work on the manure heap, they not only
find quite an amount of waste material,
but perform excellent service in render
ing the manure fine.
An excellent plan is to throw all the
ndHuie III d Hedp, dllOW uue mems 10
work on it, and then remove the manure
to a large heap, which permits of its
being more intimately mixed with any
kind of absorbent material A flock of
dozen hens will save portion of their
food If allowed to scratch over the ma
nure. as there is always more or less
food that passes through animals which
has not been appropriated or digested.
This manure is more valuable than the
same quantity of guano, and will be
found most excellent in corn hills or po-
tato drills, and there Is nothing better
for top-dressing onions. 1t should not
be applied in the raw state as a top dress
ing, as it is entirely too strong in this
shape and will burn the seed that it
comes in direct contact with. But.
rightly handled, no manure is better
adapted for garden purposes.-Cincin-

Nothing could be more novel and at
