Kerosene Emulsion.

This emulsion destroys plant lice,
squash bugs, leaf hoppers, aphis, bark
lice, chinch bugs, ETC., prepared as
follows: Dissolve one-half pound OF
the best whale oil soap in four plnts
Of water boiling. When the soap is
all dissolved remove from the fire ana
add eight bints of kerosene, agitatlng
the whole briskly until stable mix
ture is obtained. This is best done
by using the force pump and pump
ing the mixture with force against
the vessel that contains it. Inc
strength ordinarily used is prepared
by diluting one part of the Emulsion
in ten or twelve parts Of water. IN
making kerosene Emulsion only whale
oil soap should be used-the common
soap will not answer the purpose
The whale oil soap costs only a few
cents a pound.-Indiana Farmer.

When Sheets Wear Out.

Sheets often get badly worn in
the centre before they show any signs
of wear at the sides. Careful house.
keepers often turn" such sheets
when they arc made of double width
goods, simply tear''them down the
centre, hem the edges with narrow
handkerchief hem and sew the outer
selvages together. A carefully
turned sheet lasts more than twice
as long as sheet that is left to wear
itself out as it was first made. 1t
seems like folly, however, to turn"
towels and other similar articles, as
over particular housewives so often
suggest Except for the woman who
has little else to do it is a waste of

SAVORY BITTER.

Savory butter is made by using
some desired sayory ingredient in
fresh butter. You buy either the un'
salted butter or wash from the salt
ed butter all the salt possible as when
you are making some kinds of paste,
and then you rub into it with silver
knife or spoon such essence or favor
ing as you like. Anchoyy essence,
Worcestershire sauce, onion juice,
chopped Spanish peppsr or parsley, or
any one of a hundred things. Then
this butter is used for spreading
bread for sandwiches or for putting
on some kinds of hot meat or fish.

Yes, Sow Rape for the Pigs.

In answer to two inquiries about
the value of rape pasture for pigs, we
reproduce again the following from
the Wisconsin Experiment Station:
Read the experience carefully.
l. That with pigs from four to ten
months old, representing the various
breeds of swine, an acre of rape, when
properly grown, has a feeding value,
when combined with ration OF corn
and shorts, equivalent to 2436 pounds
of mixture of these grain feeds and a
money value of s19.49 per acre.
2. That rape is a better green feed
for growing pigs than good clover pas
ture, the pigs fed upon the rape hav-
ing made on the average 100 pounds
of gain on 1876 pounds less grain than
was required by the pigs fed upon
clover pasture.
3. That pigs are more thrifty, have
better appetites and make correspond
ingly greater gains when supplied with
rape pasture in conjunction with their
grain feed than when fed on grain
alone.
4. That a, plant of Dwarf Essex
forage rape, when planted in drills 30
inches apart, early in May, will yield
three good crops of pasture forage in
a favorable season.
S. That rape is the most satisfac-
tory and cheapest green feed for swine
that we have fed.
G. That every feeder of hogs should
plant each spring small field of rape
adjoining his yard, and provide him
self with few rods of movable fence,
to properly feed the rape to brood
sows and young pigs.
7. That rape should be sown for
this purpose in drills 80 inches apart
to facilitate the stirring of the ground
and cultivation after each successive
growth has been eaten off.
s. The hogs should not be turned
upon a rape pasture until the plants
are at least twelve to fourteen inches
high, and that they should be pre-
vented from roofing while in the rape
field.
9. That rape is not satisfactory
feed when fed alone, when it is de.
sired to have any live weigh gain
made in hogs, though it has been
found that they will just about main
tain themselves without loss of weight
on this feed alone.-Indiana Farmer.

Il!u,niuants OF tho Past, Ono and All,
Have Serious Dcfects-Accty1ene Gas,
With It's Clear, UnwaYcrlng, Yet Soft
Flnlno Cannot Hurt the Eyes.
New York, June 20.-No one can go
into our schools or meet group Of
children on the street without noticing
how large Il number of them wear
spectaccs. The proportion seems to
increase yearly, and there are many
more who ought 10 wear glasses. The
experience Of one teacher might be Gu
plicated by tho score. She knew Alice
was inattenlive and she thought she
was unusually stupid. She said so
to the principal and sent note to-
The mother, requesting that the child
be helped at home if she wished her
to keep up with hor class. One day
after IL blackboard explanation, the
teacher called upon the child and found
that she had not seen what had been
written. She was kept after school
and by dint Of much sympu thetic q1es-
tioning Miss C. found that Alice had
never been able to see what was put
on the board and that her head had
achcd so often and so hard that she
frequently failed to hear what was
said.
Such condition may be caused by
lack OF proper food, but in our Ameri.
can homes it is usually due to the poor
quality OF the artificial light. The yel-
low, insufficient light Of thc ordinary
kerosene lamp, with its smoky CHM
ncy, is about MS bad for the eyes rs
can be imagined. The Pickering light
from a coal gas jet is but little better,
and even the electric light, brilliant
as it usually is, has an unsteadincss
due to variations in power, and a clare
peculiarly frying to the delicate nerves
of sight. Tile comparatively new il
lllminant acctylcne gas produces as
nearly perfect an artificial light as has
yet been found. 1t gives clear white,
unwavcring light, very brilliant, yet
perfectly soft, and so nearly like the
RAYS Of the sun that cycn1 colors ap-
pear rs in daylight.
Fortunately, acetylcne is very easily
and chcaply produced, and the simple
appara tus necessary can be purchased
and installed in any home at very
moderate cost, and the acetylene can
be ppcd to convenient points in the
house where light is needed. 1t is
then lighted and eXtinguislled and used
exactly like common city gas.
Acetylene is rapidly coming into
common use in homes, churches,
schools and institutions of all kiuds,
and it is reasonable to expect that rs
its llsa in the home increases, there
will be fewer defective eyes, narticn-
larly among children. Poor eyesfght
and Tie many ills resulting therefrom
will undoubtedly be much reduced by
the use of this new illuminant.

The relation of the nerves and gen

that nino-tenths of the nervous pros

without books. If a bookcase or shelf
lis. not desirable at least have book
rake on the table to hold half dozen
volumes. One can be had easily.
Three pieces of wood are needed, To
make a good-sized rack the longest
may be two feet in length, six inches
in width and an inch thick, The end
pieces, which are to be nailed upright
are the same width and thickness and
six inches long. They may be round
sed or finished at the top in any way
desired.
Tapestry, cretonne, chintz, satin,
:damask or leather may be used to
cover the wood, whichever will best
match the furnishings Of the room. A
pretty rack is covered with scarlet
chintz in Japanese pattern and has
pasted on the outside Of each end a
japanese figure in relief, such as one

We all should realize that every
thing is a matter OF the mind. Observe
the woman who is madly in love with
her husband. Several years later she
isn't. The man, no doubt, is the same
as he was when sshe loved him. And
the change? 1t is simple. At'flrst her
mind saw only his splendidness, his
virtues and goodness. After a time
it discovered few faults. She magni-
fed them. In doing this she lost sight
of his virtues. His goodness and his
faults we're as she thought them. Ev-
erything was the product of her own
brain-so far as she was concerned.
She might just as weel have continued
to have thought him adorable. Then
Cupid wouldn't have been told to get
another lodging place-poor dear
