Good Hiding Place.

There is a very seemingly nee
essary appropriation made in the
shape of $4,000, and called a
CONTINGENT FUND.
My, what fine hiding place
this must be for many a gift. A
gift to a certain hospital was
made by the Republican Board
of Commissioners and charged
to "Road and Bridge Fund" 1t
was something like 5000, we are
told. Now if this was a proper
gift, why not call it by its right
name, and not try to hide it in
a fund to which it ought not to
have been charged. This con.
tingent fund no doubt contains
many such items, and we know
it would be interesting to our
taxpayers if they knew what
this $4,000 contingent fund was
used for.

No one feels the high tax
rate like the man who planks
down his hard earned cash in
the Tax Collectors office. Every
cent counts there. He feels
directly the exact meaning of
a 80 or 80 cents tax rate on the
800 assessed on his property,
and these days every little bit
either way makes a difference.
Every voter has it in his power
to lower the tax rate by elect
ing the Democratic County
Commissioners.

KocHIA scoPARIA.
An Interesting Tribute to the Value
Of the Summer Cypress.

An Interesting Tribute to the Value
of the Summer Cypress.
IL Kochia scoparia has an equal
among foliage plants l have never seen
it, and doubt if the peer of this an
nual exists in the plant world. Each
year | grow kochias in hedges along
the garden paths and as backgrounds
for scarlet geranium beds. snd surely
no plant ever terminated more readily,
attained effective size more quickly or
exhibited more beautiful form and
color. The kochias grow in rows as
hedges, self sown and in the spring /
simply dig up the plants | need for the
season and hoe up the rest. The seed
lings are transplanted when three or
four inches high and are set about
twenty inches apart. They grow re-
markably fast
Last year | took note of the date of
transplanting, which was May 10.
Aug l the plants were thirty-si to
forty inches high and had been large
and shapely for at least six weeks. Be
cause of being set close the lovely oval
form is not in evidence in the hedges,
but is well illustrated in single speci-
mems. Given full exposure, these
charming plants grow, come rain or
drought, and acquire perfection of con-
tour with the greatest certainty. They
are of the most vivid green until Sep
TENDER, when they are covered with
small purplish seeds or berries. The
plant is then attractive, but its chief
value lies in its intense color, its.
plumey foliage and symmetry in its
earlier stages of growth
From my experience in growing
Kochia scoparia | would make the fol
lowing suggestions: Always plant seeds
in the open In the house the seedlings
can scarcely be made to hold up their
heads, so fragile is the stem. while out
doors they soon become sturdy Do not
make the ground too rich.
Grow a few specimens in any open
place, with such distance between them
that the plants may attain full develop
ment. There is nothing more beauti-
fully symmetrical in nature
By all means back up scarlet gera-
mum bed with hedge in which the
plants are set twenty inches apart. The
combination is simply dazzling
Seeds cost 5 cents per packet That
packet will last lifetime Always
thereafter use self sown seedlings
The foregoing tribute by CORE
spondent of Gardening to Kochia SEQ
paria will be Endorsed by many who
know this handsome plant more IA
miliarly than summer cypress.

Profit In Poultry.

Few people realize what enormous
quantities Of poultry and eggs are con
sumed or how rapidly modern methods
are revolutionizing the poultry bust
ness. Not many years ago there was
not large poultry farm in existence,
and no one believed exclusive poultry
farming could be made to pay, but to-
day there are many large poultry farms
which are giving a good account of
themselves, and it is difficult for one to
say what the limit is to the size of a
poultry farm or the wonderful i'm
provements in methods of handling
and selling. 1t is certain that the Amer
lean hen is making herself famous and
is rapidly being recognized as on an
equal footing with our other great in
terests. such as dairying, stock raising
and other agricultural pursuits.

PAPERlNG A ROOM.
How to Measure and Hang the Strips.
Recipe For Paste.

Remember double roll of paper con-
tains seventy square feet when you
wish to ascertain the amount required
Walls that have never been papered
should be covered with size. This is
made by adding six quarts of hot WA
ter to one-half pound of glue which has
been softened by standing all night
covered with cold water. Walls that
have been painted should be gone over
with ammonia water-one part of am
monia to six parts water Board cell
ings must be covered with cloth before
papering.
TO paper the ceiling cut as many
strips as will be necessary to cover it
and leave long enough to allow about
two inches, taking care to make the
pattern match Draw a chalk line
across one end of the ceiling sixteen
inches from the wall as guide for
hanging the first strip which goes be
tween this line and the wall and will
lap down on the side little. Lay the
strip on a table, apply the paste even
ly, fold both ends toward the center,
making them meet and being careful
that the ends are even. Trim the pa
per with shears Unfold one end, com
mence al the side and start the strip
straight by the line, smoothing it down
as you go with brush. Keep the rest
of the paper in front of you, letting it
hang over roll of paper which you
hold in your left hand
After the first strip is on the rest is
easy The last strip must also lap
down on the side wall Cut the paper
for the side wall long enough to come
under the border a little. Begin to
lay it at the side of a window or door.
Unfold the top of the strip, put in po-
sition then work downward. Lay on
each strip in the same manner, put on
the border, and the work is done.
The following is good recipe for
paste Take one and one-half pints of
-four, rub smooth in a quart of cold
water, add four quarts of boiling wa
ter and let boil slowly, stirring con-
stantly ten minutes. When cold, stir
in one tablespoonful of powdered alum.
Never use warm paste and make it
quite thin.

now to wash a Flannel Blouse.

This is not difficult task even for an
inexperienced person; but, like every
thing of its kind, it needs little care
to prevent the blouse shrinking. First
make some soap jelly and dissolve two
tablespoonfuls of it in half a gallon of
warm water. Add one teaspoonful of
ammonia and put the blouse in this,
letting it soak for about ten minutes.
Wash the blouse in the usual way, tax
ing care to rub the parts which are
most soiled. No soap must be rubbed
on the blouse Squeeze the water out
and wash in fresh water prepared in
the same way. Put it through the
wringer, then rinse it in clean tepid
water to which ammonia has been add
ed in the same proportion as to the
lather Again put it through the
wringer, fold it evenly and pass it
through again and yet again. BY tax
ing this precaution the moisture will
nearly all be pressed out of the flannel,
and it will only require to hang out for
d short while.

a cold, and as it became very annoying

closed, and the lids stuck together

out of the eye. applied a few drops

REARING GEESE.
When to Begin Hatching--Grass For
the Goslimgs.

the GosIings.
Geese generally commence laying in
the latter part of March or first of
April in the northern states, but the
laying may be promoted by feeding an
egg producing ration, and by removing
the eggs from the nests and feeding
well a larger number of eggs will be
laid, writes A. T. Hunter in Reliable
Poultry Journal When they begin lay
ing they should be watched a bit to
locate the nests, as the goose will cover
the eggs with straw, hay or other ma
terial to conceal them. Then, too, in
cold weather there is danger of the
eggs becoming chilled; hence they
should be gathered and put away in a
dry, cool place and turned half over
about twice a week until they are put
under hens or the mother goose.
When set under d common hen five
eggs are probably all she can well COW
era good sized goose will cover twelve
eggs all right 1t takes thirty days to
hatch goslings, and no eggs should be
set earlier than about month before
grass usually begins to sprout in your
locality; then young, tender grass
shoots will be accessible to the young
sters. Sprinkle the eggs twice week
after the fifteenth day and two days
before the eggs are due to hatch.
When the goslings begin to hatch take
them from the nest, wrap each one in
piece of old flannel or wooden cloth
and put i'll warm place by the kitch-
en- stove If left in the nest there is
danger that the mother will trample
them
When they are about twenty four
hours old or when the hatch is done
put them and the mother in sheltered
coop, with board floor, and give them
feed of stale (but not moldy) bread
crumbs that are moistened with sweet
milk. or water if you haven't the milk
Fresh, clean drinking water should be
by them also. Keep the brood con-
fined in small yard with plenty of
young, tender grass for few days or
week and feed four times day on
breadcrumbs, moistened with milk or
water, mixed with cornmeal and wheat
middlings.
Fine grit or crushed oyster shells
should be accessible always. Keep the
young goslings out of the water or
from being exposed to hard rain I'M
til they have grown full coat of feath-
ers. They should have the shelter of
a dry, warm coop at night and should

WASHING THE HAIR.
How to Cleanse the Head without
InJuring the Scalp.


There is right way as well as a
wrong way to wash the hair, says a
writer in the St Louis Globe Democrat,
and one of the wrong ways is to apply
the cake of soap directly to the head.
Nine out of ten people do this. but it
is wrong nevertheless When the cake
of soap is rubbed on the hair it crusts
there and often cannot be rinsed out
with the most elaborate applications of
water.
To wash the hair properly, so as to
cleanse the head thoroughly and at the
same time leave the hair in good con-
dition, lather should be made from
soap in somewhat the same general
way as for shaving and this lather
then applied to the hair. Hot water
should be used in making the lather,
while borax and just Il drop or two Of
ammonia added will do much toward
preserving the natural softness of the
hair.
Hot water ought also to be used for
the rinsing save toward the finish of
the operation when cooler water may
be employed to prevent any possibility
of taking cold when the hair is drying.
The rinsing should be most carefully
done. for the smallest quantity of soap
clinging to the hair will prove a verita-
Bile catch-all for dust ana germs and
perhaps lead eventually to diseased
condition of the hair and scalp.
One thing that people should avoid
in cleansing the hair is in rubbing too
hard. Men especially are prone to use
their finger nails on the scalp. and the
habit is found to some extent among
women also. The scalp is not rendered
any cleaner by doing this than it
would be by drying gently, and the
hard scrubbing will have tendency to
infiame the roots of the hair ard cause
it to fall out.

Poultry Pointers.

Loose oatmeal is one of the best ma
terials to feed young growing chickens.
1t can be fed dry.
Confinement and idleness cause the
vice of feather pulling.
Water is as important as food and
should be supplied clean and fresh.
When fowls are permitted to roost in
foul, damp houses It causes droopisll-
ness
When the hens are laying abundant
" lime should be kept before them at
all times.
It Is good plan to feed wheat as the
grain food at this time, as corn is too
fattening.

How to Cure Indigestion.

Glycerin is really valuable remedy
for indigestion, and in the course of a
few days or at most of fortnight a
sufferer may expect to be cured. Mix
a small teaspoonful of pure glycerin
with water and take it with or imme-
diately after each meal OF course the
patient should also use discretion in the
selection and in the amount of food.
