Walking, Up and Down Stairs.

Do you know how to go up and

Going upstairs is like riding a

Walking upstairs is something few

How many women have stepped on

stairs? How many women can count
the number of times they have
walked up the front breadths of their
gowns? How many women have torn
skirts and founces and ruined EN-
broideries and fringes? How many
have fallen upstairs?
Your dress must be lifted out OF
your way, and lifted gracefully, and
this requires deep thought and much
practice. Each skirt Is a law unto
itself, and you must learn library OF
laws, one for each gown.

Washing milk Pals.

The milk pals should never be al
lowed to stand after being emptied. If
1t is not convenient to wash them Mt
once they shoAld be filled with cold
water which Will prevent the thin
film. composed of the solids of the
milk, forming ca the inside of the pail.
Once this film is allowed to dry on the
pail it is almost impossible to remove
1t. A frequent mistake consists in
pouring hot water into the pals be-
fore they have been rinsed out with
cold water. The effect of this treat
ment is to cause the film to adhere
more firmly. Rinsing with cold water
is always the first process in the
cleaning of metal milk vessels: then
follows the washing and scalding.
Wiping is unnecessary, rs the heat of
the vessel, after the scalding water is
removed, is sufficient to dry off the
surface. Always leave pals so that
the sun can shine into them. When
buying tin pals see that the seams
are well filled with solder; they will
be easier to clean, and there will be no
lodging place for germs. A half-inch
fange is also desirable. thus preventing
the bottom of the pail from coming into
direct contact with the ground.-Amer-

Overrroppinc of Soils.

1t is safe to say that every farmer,
whose soil is not virgin soil, has had
the experience of wearing out some
strip of soil by overcropping. too little
fertilizer or wrong methods of rotation.
Some men need to be taught this lesson
but once, and as soon as a bit of their
soil begins TO show wear they build
1t up. Men who are in Il position to
know claim that the natural supply of
potash in the soil is almost limitless,
and we know that by the use of
legumes we can add nitrogen to the
soil at small expense 1t is claimed,
therefore, that phosphoric acid only
need be bought, and hence the cost
of building up or rebuilding the soil is
reduced to minimum. This is doubt
less so under normal conditions. but
how many men so crop their soil that
the plant foods are preserved in it in
the proper proportions so as to be avail
able for the growing plant.
We do not know for certainty. ex-
cept under chemical examination,
whether or not We are getting the
proper proportion of potash to the
plant by cultivation. nor can we tell
about the nitrogen. except as we may
Judge from the growing plant. Posi-
bly, the result in the following crop,
when we think we shall have done ali
that is possible for the best results, is
a complete disappointment, and we be-
gin to scoff Mt the scientists theories.
That we are gradually wearing out our
soils can not be denied. and it is GER
tainly question worthy of considera-
tion that each of us look more closely
into how we are treating our soils and
find some way of applying the remedy
If we are abusing them.-Indianapols

Women's Clubs.

The advancement of women's clubs
has often been discussed, and an edi-
torial recently in the Federation Bul-
letin says the following
1.-THE women's clubs have been
studying American social problems
for years, and there is no part of the
body polite which they have neglect
ed. Doubtless they supposed they
were casting their bread upon the wa
ters, as most reformers do, without
worrying too much about the return.
But their widest dream could not have
anticipated such results as are now
coming back to them. The attention
which the clubs have recently attract
ed, both in attack and defence. has led
naturally to the subjects which they
were discussing until at last the sum
total OF interest in our doings is al
most beyond belief. AS Mr.. Beecher
once said of another kind of success.
we have set the tide to moving, and
now we need only stand upon the
shore and see the waves come in.
When the great daily papers all over
the land began to be our champions
and allies. as many of them have done
during this particular year of grace, it
was only natural that the magazines
should begin to fall in line. And all
of them have discovered that it is
really serious movement and one
worthy of attention. None the less
is this true because, as the Baltimore
American has remarked. we have been
pursuing the even tenor of our ways
without paying much attention to
slanders or abuse. 1t would seem as
though the day of SANDER and abuse
is about over for us, at least so far
as concerns any source which is
worth considering"

One of the most wholesome dishes
Is a baked apple 1t is delicious at
breakfast as well as at supper. In
fact, apples in almost any form are in
valuable. For variety's sake try peel
ing the apples before baking them.
Peel and core them. fill the hollows
with spice and sugar and bake long
enough to give them a thin, crispy,
crust. Sometimes a bit of butter is
placed on top of each apple before put
whipped cream.

White chiffon washes perfectly, but
a better way to clean it is by a dry
method. Use two quarts of finely pow
dered starch to one of powdered borax
Spread the chiffon on clean muslin

this out, and sprinkle literally with
clean flour and borax; cover and leave

shake every particle of powder from

Alfalfa For Horses.

Professor Melville, of the Utah Sta
ton, says that in comparing alfalfa
and timothy as roughage for horses,
the results of six tests, under varying
conditions of work. show that it is not
as difficult to maintain the weight of
horses on alfalfa as on timothy. The
cost of maintenance was greater in
every case, except one, on timothy than
on alfalfa. The appearance of horses
in every comparison of alfalfa and
timothy was in favor of the alfalfa
fed horses by long continued alfalfa
feeding. Attacks of collie and other
digestive disorders can be prevented by
judicious systeri of feeding. The
amount of hay fed on most farms could
be reduced one-half. 1t may be eco
Domical to reduce the amount of hay
and increase the amount of grain fed
TO horses. 1t is evident from a study
of the experiments. during four periods
in which bran and shorts were used
and during one when oats made up the
grain ration. that bran and shorts may
be substituted for oats when the horses
are fed alfalfa and timothy. Twenty
pounds OF alfalfa day maintains the
weight of horses weighing neatly 400
pounds when at rest. At heavy work,
3262 pounds of alfalfa a day was
barely sufficient to maintain the weight
of the same horses. 1t is evident that
there is tendency to use all the pro-
tein, when horses are fed timothy, and
no apparent waste of nitrogen when
fed alfalfa. This waste is not consid-
cred serious here. as protein is not an
expensive part of the diet. These re-
suits were those of direct trial, but
the surface indications of an indirect
trial; it may be that the conclusion is
net well founded. Since red clover
hay does not differ materially in nutri-
tive value from alfalfa. it seems prob
able that the first might be substituted
for the last. and with similar results,
provided the first is well cured. sweet
and free from must or dust. But IL 1t
must be fed, shake out all the dust
possible and moisten the hay.-Weekly

Corn Souffie-Drain the water from
spoonfuls of melted butter. Beat four
eggs until very light and turn with
pint of rich milk into the corn. Sea-
son well, beat for several minutes and
pour into buttered pudding dish.
Cover and bake thirty minutes. Re-
move the cover, brown the souffle and
serve directly.
Grape Catchup-Wash two quarts OF
grapes, pick over and remove stems.
Put in granite ware saucepan, pour
over one quart of vinegar, bring to
boiling pont and cook until grapes are
soft; then rub through sieve. Re-
turn to saucepan, add l 1-2 pounds OF
brown sugar, one tablespoonful each
of cinnamon, Glove and pimento. one
half tablespoonful of salt and one
fourth of teaspoonful of cayenne.
Cook until of the consistency Of to-
mato catchup. Bottle, cool and seal.
Cabbage Salad-The following rule
for cabbage salad is good old stand
by" and excellent on the country sup
per table: Chop head of cabbage very
fine. using the regular meat chopper,
which will cut it up into fine pieces
of equal size. Soak the cabbage two
hours in salt and water, then drain.
Beat thoroughly four eggs, add one
pint of vinegar and half u cup Of but
ter. Let it come to the boiling point,
stirring 1t carefully to prevent the
eggs from curdling. Then add q scant
tablespoonful of pepper, heaping one
of mustard and sugar to taste. Some
housewives do not like as much sugar
as others.
Stuffed Tomatoes-The acidity of to-
matoes, which is always brought out
with cooking, makes them particular
ly welcome at this season. They may
be served either with bread crumb
stuffing or with chicken forcemeat.
Select tomatoes of firm texture. Cut
cap" off the top of each and remove
all the soft pulp and seeds. Pound to
a paste. small pieces of chicken, either
cooked or raw. Measure the chicken.
Add the same amount of bread crumbs
to it, soaked in milk and to every cup
full Of the mixture add saltspoonful
Of butter and an egg yolk, with pepper
and salt to suit the taste. Some people
may enjoy the addition of pinch Of
nutmeg. Also add half teaspoonful
of onion juice and six chopped mush-
rooms. II the mixture is not moist
enough q little chicken stock or good
gravy can be poured over the stuffing.
Replace the "caps" and bake the to-
matoes in porcelain lined or enamel
pieplate or baking pan. Cook them
half an hour in moderate oven. A
simpler rule for stuffed tomatoes is this
delicious one: After preparing them
as above, cutting off the top and TAX
ing out the inside, fill with the follow
ing dressing: To every two cups OF
bread crumbs add pepper, salt. bay
leaf, ground or finely chopped and a
slice of onion, also chopped. Moisten
the stuffing with the juice and pulp Of
the tomatoes, which should be freed
from seeds. Cover with small bits OF
butter. Serve hot Immediately after
