Burninq Garbage.

In burning garbage in the range
it is a mistake to put it directly on
the fire. Put it under the side or
back lids, where the fire does not
come in contact with it, and it will
dry out. 1t is best to put the gar
bage in the stove at nighs and by
morning it is dried to a finder and
will blaze up and burn when the
fire gets hotter, leaving 40 odor
whatever. Never allow any scraps
of food to be put in the scuttie.

To Clean an Oil Painting.

Raw potato is good for cleansing an
oil painting. Cut potato in two and
rub quickly over the surface Of the
painting with it. When 1t shows soil
take fresh potato. Wipe dry with
soft silk handkerchief. 1t is good
plan to clean only a small section Of
the. painting at time, then wipe it and
60 on to a fresh part. Sweet oil, II
Nightly and quickly applied. would
clean a painting satisfactorily.

Big-Boned Steers Not Best.


There was a time, though it was

sought by the butchers is one that
weighs from 1000 to 1900 pounds.

the cheapest meat is made on young
animals, and the money thus invested
is soonest ready to be turned over.

until they are extremely light; then
add the sugar gradually, and continue
whisking; then strew in the -four by
degrees, and when smoothly blended
with the other ingredients stir in the
butter in small portions, each Of which
should be beaten in till it entirely dis

looking hale and hearty and almost jubi-

that at last he would be free from prose-

and no probability of a. conviction on the
NTH, meant that he would hardly be
made to face jury again.

Sunday were apparently nowhere near
an agreement. They had asked NO ques-
tons and appeared to have made up their
minds that they would wait with all the
patience possible today until the court
should see fit to discharge them.
A note was sent in to the court in.
forming the judge that they could not
agree. The court sent back word that
there was no word for them, which meant
that they were to remain out the rest Of

DON'T WORRY.
Temper Powders Make Life Easy-How
to Cure Irritability.

Good temper is a matter of easy
achievement, according to that eminent
medical authority Sir Lander Brunton.
Sir Lander believes that good diges-
ton is a considerable factor in securing
amiability, but in special cases he re-
commends the administration of temper
powders"
Gouty persons, he says become tenn
pOrarily irritable shortly before an at
tack of govt, and for such people he re-
commends twenty grsire of bIcarbonate
of potash with ten to twenty grains Of
bromide of potassium, to be taken when
the feeling of irritability comes on. This
frequently soothes it and has the further
effect of lessening worry even in those
who are not irritable.
IF this temper POWDER as am ac
customed to call it, says Sir Lander, ''be
taken when some irritating occurrence
takes place or some depressing news is
heard it appears to take awav the sting
of either, so that in the place of being
much worried and unable to turn atten-
ton to other things e person feels as if
he had slept over the bad news or wor-
ry and is able to obtain relief by turn
ing his attention to something else.
'SIn the irritability Of temper caused by
cardiac diseases or which is the pre-
cursor of headache / have found a few
doses of bromide of potassium and sail
cylicate of soda will give relief and i'm
prove the temper. Constant explosions
Of temper on the part OF member of a
family may affect the health of the 9TH
er members, who have their appetites
spoiled, their digestion impaired, their
nerves shattered and their pleasure in
life destroyed by the mental suffering in
duced by the irritable temper Of another.
For these patients the best treatment is
to administer temper powders to the
offending person, when the distressing
family will be relieved" IN. Y. Herald S

Feeding Milk to Poultry.

Farmers who have more or less skim
milk and a generous supply Of sour
milk can feed both proftably to lay
ing hens during the winter. Milk
should be given as other things are
fed, with view to having as much
variety as possible. While the fowls
rarely tire of the milk, it generally
brings the best results If the prepars-
ton of it Is somewhat varied. For
example: When the weather Is cold,
give the birds a lot Of warm milk in
the morning, putting 1t in trough.
The next night feed them a warm
mash, but mix the bran with milk in
stead Of water. This is an excellent
way to use the sour milk or milk that
ds too thick to feed alone. Another
time cook lot Of small potatoes, chop
them fine and mix with the sour milk,
then feed warm-creamed potatoes in
way. One has no idea how laying
fhens enjoy such variety and what a
decided difference it makes in the egg
production.

Poultry Notes.

A good egg will sink in water.
With the dust bath the hen cleans
her body.
Sitting hens should not be fed while
on the nest.
Growing chicks should be protected
from the SUD.
The nest must occasionally be re-
newed and kept clean.
Equal parts Of skinned milk and
water warmed will remove fly specks
from vanished wood work or furni
ture.
Never since poultry first began to at
tract particular attention have the
prospects been so bright, and never
before has the demand for pure-breG
poultry been so good as at the presen
time.
There is no economy in buying poor
or musty grain. Aside from the fac
that it lacks nutriment, 1T is often the
cause Of sickness, especially amons
the young stock. Better pay a goot
price and get good sound gram. 1t i.

Presidential Pudding.

Make up dough, as for cream-of-
tartar biscuits, and roll out about an
inch thick. Spread thickly with but
ter, and give q coating Of white SUI
gar. Over the whole turn blackberry
or raspberry jam, or, better still, the
fresh fruit in season, and, if not like
ly to be sweet enough, add more SUI
gar. Now roll the whole carefully and
as lightly as may be, pinch the ends
and bake. When done, serve hot in
thick slices, with an egg sauce. The
most delicious egg sauce, by the way,
is made by adding a third of cupful
Of boiled laundry starch to the thor
oughly beaten egg and sugar. Flavor
with vanilla extract.
