The Hay Box for Cooking

The German ebay box" consists OF
a plain wooden box or small trunk
filed with hay, says the Country Gen
tleman. Nests are made in the nay,
and the earthen pots, containing the
food to be kept hot, are placed III
the nests with their covers on; then
they are covered with pillow, and
the lid at once securely closed.
Food will not only keep hot for
eight to ten hours in these boxes, but
will finish cooking. 1t has been
proved that when these boxes are
used, two to three minutes is sufficient
cooking on the stove for vegetables,
and twenty to thirty minutes for most
meats. The vegetables and neat are
then put into the hay box, and will
continue to cook until finished. In
Germany, these boxes are in general
use and it is common sight to see
workmen carrying small hay boxes to
their work.
Some of the advantages of these
fireless cook stoves are:
1. The cost of fuel can be reduced
four fifths
2. The pots are not made difficult
to wash; they are not blackened.
3. The food is better cooked, more
agreeable to the taste, more nutritious
and more digestible.
4. Kitchen odors are done away
with.
5. Time and labor are saved.
6. Warm water can always be hac
where there is illness in the house
7. Milk for the baby can be kept
warm ail-night in a pot Of water.

Household Hints

Dip half lemon in salt and rub
on knife handles; then wash immedi-
ately in warm water, and the handles
will be as white as when they were
new.
To remove coffee stains, rub the
spots with glycerine and water and
they will disappear as by magic.
Heat a lemon thoroughly before
squeezing, and you will obtain nearly
double the quantity of juice that you
would if it had not been heated.
If housewives who dislike to find
worms when cutting apples would
first put the fruit in cold water, they
would find that the worms would
leave the apples and come to the sur

After washing lace curtains lay a

Making Cottage Cheese

Cottage cheese is delicacy within
easy reach of every keeper of cows
and it is valuable as a food. The
Minnesota experiment station has just
completed a digestion experiment with
number of highly heterogeneous foods.
Concerning cottage cheese it concludes
that, prepared from skim milk and en-
riched with cream, 1t is cheap di-
gestible and nutritious food and when
the materials for its preparation are
produced on the farm it is one OF the
most economical foods that can be
used. At two cents per quart for
skim milk and IS cents per quart for
cream cottage cheese compares fav.
orally with meats at IL cents pei
pound. The farmers wife who does
not know the value of cottage cheese
should get busy and learn about it
it quite recently.

Richness Of Milk

Some people never will learn. There
are any number of people who still in
sist that the feed influences the fat
content of cows milk in spite OF the
fact that almost every station in the
United States has demonstrated that
the food has nothing to do with the
relative richness of milk. The feed
vitality influences the total amount OF
butter fat COW will produce in a
given time but it does not make the
milk relatively richer The per cent
of butter fat in milk is an individual
characteristic of the COW and not in
fluenced by feed to any appreciable
extent.

Breathe Through the Nose

The hygienic mother of the present
day sees to it that her children keep
their mouths closed when asleep and
at all other times when not necessary
for the purpose of eating, drinking or
talking.
The evils of breathing through the
mouth cannot be too strongly dwelt
upon.
In the first place, the invisible dust
which constantly floats in the air is
drawn in directly to the lungs, injur-
ing thereby the delicate membranes
of the entire breathing apparatus.
Catarrhal troubles frequently result
simply from this careless habit of
breathing, not to mention more SER
ious disorders which are quite liable
to ensue.
Another evil resulting from this
practice is the unbecoming and fool
ish expression given to the face by
habitually going about with the lips
apart.
When a child is allowed to sleep in
this manner the habit becomes an
extremely difficult one to break dur
ing the waking hours as well.
The entire personal appearance may
be greatly disfigured by carelessness
in this particular.
BY breathing through the nose the
air is both warmed and purified be
fore it reaches the lungs. The nos
trils act as a sort of sieve, allowin,
only pure air to pass beyond thei
domains.
A sudden blast of icy air take1
through the mouth, and reaching d
rectly the lungs. is often provocativ
of cold and even pneumonia.

Loving Words

Loving words will cost but little,
Journeying up the hill OF life,
But they make the weak and weary
Stronger, Drawer for the strife;
Do not count them only tri1es?
What to earth are sun and rain!
Never was a kind word wasted,
Never one was said in vain.
When the cares of life are many,
And its burdens heavy grow,
Think of weak ones close beside YOU
II you love them tell them so.
What you count of little value
Has an almost magic power,
And beneath their cheering sunshine
Hearts will blossom like flower.
So. as UP life's hill we journey,
Let us scatter all the way
Kindly words, for they are sunshine
In the dark and cloudy day.
Grudge no loving word or action
AS along through life you go,
There are weary ones around YOU
If you love them, tell them SO.

The First Bale.

There was a lively scramble for first
place with the first bale of cotton of
the new crop, Tuesday. At an early
hour Gus Griffin, (col.) who farms on
the Thayer place near town arrived
with a bale weighing 448 pounds,
which cIassed middling and was sold
to l. l.. Dortch at Is 3-4c, which in
cluded the usual bonus for first bales.
An hour later Rufus Ager, from
Mrs. w. C. Jinkins' plantation, brought
in the second bale, of $40 pounds.
These bales were stored at the Far
mers Warehouse, and both the own
ers received from Messrs. Pickle the
$500 prizes offered for the first bale,
the two arriving so closely together
that the prize was awarded to each.
The third bale was stored at the
same warehouse by Mr.. George
Cockerham from the Buttahatchie
neighborhood late Tuesday afternoon,
and on Wednesday morning the
fourth bale was brought III and stored
at the Alliance Warehouse by Mr..
Charlie Stewart of Hamilton. All
except the first were sold at the mar
ket quotations.
