BEDS AND BEDDING.


S2reful Attention..
No part of housekeeping should be
more sharply looked after than that
which has to do with beds and bed
ling. Everything about bed should
oe aired thoroughly every day, and ev-
erything should be kept up to the top
notch of cleanliness.
Mattresses Should be busted daily,
for dust seems to go to them and cling
to them rs il by some curious law of
attraction. They should be thoroughly
gone ovcr-taken apart and cleaned in
side and out, that is--at least once in
three years, oftener if possible. Every
good housekeeper cleans bed, springs
and mattress as regularly as any other
part Of her house, but comparatively
few realize how important it is to have
their mattresses opened and cleaned
periodically.
Yet dust and dirt silt through tick
ing and collect in IN alarming way.
Men who manipulate those cleaning
machines 'pickers'' - say that dust
from single mattress filling comes
out in thick clouds during the opera
ton of cleaning.
Blankets should be aired as persist
emily as mattresses-aired and shaken
vigorously every day.
The best kind of blankets to buy
varies with the buyer. All wool are
usually considered the best, but blan-
kets with cotton warp and wool "fill-
ing" stand home cleaning better than
those made of all wool.

Wills Proved by Testator.

An important change i'll the pro-
bate of wills has been suggested to
the Indiana commission appointed
to revise the laws of that state.
The innovation contemplates the
proving Of will while the testator
is living, in order to prevent con-
test after his death. The proposed
act provides that a person may,
after giving notice to his heirs, go
into court and have his will estab-
lished. The document may be
either probated openly in court,
with it's provisions made public, or
it may he proved without the con-
tents being known by the document
being authenticated by the sigma
ture OF the Judge and the seal of the
court. The proceeding is in no
sense compulsory. The Legislation
IS favored by lawyers, who believe
that the sanctity Of Wills would be
preserved if they could be proved
in the presence Of the testator.

Gigantic Corn Crop.

The state of Iowa has raised this
year 3OO,OOO,OOO bushels of corn.
Talk about gold mines! We would
like to know if this is not one? This
crop is worth, to sell by the bushel,
not less than $l00,0O0,000. Fed
out, as most of it will be, it is worth
more than Sl25,O00,OO0. 1t would
require 100000 freight cars of a
capacity of 666 bushels each to
transport it. These cars, if connect
ed, would reach a distance of $500
miles. But only small part of it
will seek a market in this way. 1t
will go to market in refrigerator
cars as fine creamery butter, in stock
cars filled with fat steers and hogs.
1t will go to market in egg cases
and Christmas turkeys, as syrup,
cornstarch and other forms. It
would, if made into whisky, keep
the people of common wealth drunk
for forty years. 1t will pay mort
cages, beautify homes, educate the
boys and girls and allow of plane
of living among its producers hardly
reached by any other people of the
world. And most of it was stolen
from the sun and the sun left none
the poorer. Corn in Egypt was all
right in its day, but corn in Iowa
beats it. Any county in the state
could feed all the tribes of the He
brews. The work is about DONE
Cover the corncribs, put away the
throw boards, go out and size up the
bursting cribs, then go in the house
and watch mother take golden

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Kerosene oil and soft cloth will
Zap mahogany furniture In fine con-
dition.
An alcohol lamp or heating con-
trivance on gas jet is handy in the
bedroom.
To make low room look higher let
the curtains hang to the floor. Short
curtnins make the room look lower
than 1t Is.
Fine tablecloths should be frequent
ly changed, so that they do not become
much soiled, thus preventing the ne
cessity of rubbing them to remove soil
and stains. This rule holds with all
fine linens.
When busting use slightly damp
cloth, for it will gather up and hold
the dust far better than a dry one.
This plan, however, should not be fol-
lowed in the case of black polished
furniture, rs the damp cloth frequent
ly gives it smeared appearance.

Winter Fosd For Poultry.

The approach of winter calls for
few thoughts regarding the proper
food our fowls will need for egg pro-
duction. Hundreds of methods are
advanced, and the majority of them
have merit, says NJ. K. Boyer, in
Poultry Journal. There are several
well-balanced commercial foods
upon the market that are excellent
But it is not always convenient to
secure foods, therefore, we can reco-
mend the following bill of fare:
Buy twenty-five pounds each of
bran, middlings, corn meal and
ground oats; also fifteen pounds of
meat scraps or ground meat and
five pounds of oil meal. Mix
all thoroughly and place in barrel
for use. If your Hocks consume
bucket Of mash at meal, let half
that amount be cooked clover hay,
and the other half ground feed as
above. Mix the grain and hay
thoroughly while hot. Feed for
breakfast warm.
Now for caution: Do not feed all
the fowls can eat for breakfast.
Give them just enough to partly
satisfy them, otherwise they will not
exercise until they again become
hungry. We make it a half meal
that is, half the quantity we would
give were it a night feed.
We prefer morning mash to that
given at night, for several reasons;
First. The food is in such con-
dition that it is quickly assimilated
and therefore will do the most good.
Second. It being soft food, it
quickly digests and thus, when fed
at night, leaves the fowls with
empty crops before morning, causing
more or less suffering from cold,
which is not the case when the crop
is full Of grain. We have tried the
Different methods, and found the
morning mash to be superior.
About noon. we throw half-feed'
Of wheat or hulled oats among lot
Of litter in a scratching she'd, for
five days in the week, and on the re-
naming two days we give green cut
bone.
At night we give all the grain
they will eat up clean. We use a
mixture Of equal parts of wheat and
cracked corn, and add sunfowe1
seed, barley and buckwheat wher
we can get them. Grit and cracked
oyster shell are constantly withir
reach.
After fully twenty years expert
ment we have found the above bill
of fare excellent for laying stock.
u Green food is scarce in the winte
and therefore cut clover hay come
; in an excellent substitute. Cooked
, vegetables are also good, so long a
they are not fed to excess. The,
, are generally of a fattening nature
l and also cause considerable bowe
} trouble. 1t is better to cut u
the vegetables to the size of cor
land feed raw.-Farmers Tribune.

Growth Of Independent Voting.

Upon one thing the country is to
be congratulated. 1t was on both
sides chiefly q campaign of appeal
to the mind and convictions of the
voters, and there was greater indi-
cation than ever before that the
American citizen is thinking for
himself and acting with freedom
from party trammel and prejudice.
However true it may be that in a
country like ours two permanent
and well organized parties are neces-
sary, it cannot be too boldly said
that even more necessary is the
freedom of intelligent voters, not
merely to auctuate between parties,
but to vote according to their con-
victions, from time to time, about
individual men and particular
measures. In recent campaign,
the freedom Of the voters expressed
itself in their action regarding
public measure, namely, the none
tary standard. In the election OF
last month, on the other hand, the
freedom of the voters expressed it self
preference for a man. 1t was not
that the voters were repudiating

tertained a courteous and kindly
feeling Except as this feeling may

Mr.. Roosevelt and his administra-
ton. Judge Parker early on cleo
ton evening sent the President the
following well-expressed telegram:
"The people by their votes have
emphatically approved your ad
ministration, and | congratulate
| you"
This, of course, was the true way to
interpret the result. 1t was an in
dorsement of the President. and a
vote of full confidence in his public
views and official policies. Further
than that, however, the vote was an
enthusiastic tribute to Theodore
