air it before placing bread in it again.
Never lay meat directly On the ice.
Place it on a dish or wrap it in paper
before putting it in the refrigerator.
Extra silver should be kept in can

camphor in each. 1t will in this way re-
tain its brightness Indefinitely.
To keep marmalade alright beat

serve is still hot.
Paint will stick 10 tinware if the sur
face is scratched with a piece OF rough
pumice stone or coarse sandpaper and
a thin coat Of shellac varnish applied
before the paint is put on.
Teapots that are made Of metal. if
unused for some time, will often give a
musty flavor to the tea when next used.
This may be prevented by placing a
lump of sugar in the teapot before put

What Makes Quality In Eggs.

The grocer soon learns that he must
send good eggs to his customers or he
will not have them long, and the farm
er who is progressive will soon learn
that he must do the same. The word
fresh" when applied to eggs, may
mean a great deal, or it may not. The
egg grower who wishes to create reg
ular demand for his eggs at high
prices must market his stock promptly,
for there is nothing that SO disgusts
the experienced handler of eggs as to
find that the eggs that he bought for
fresh had been held in the country for
two or three weeks. Storage eggs, that
are put into the refrigerator immedi-
teIy after they are laid, come out bet
ter. after four or five months have
elapsed, than the eggs that are allowed
TO remain in the farmers pantry for a
month after they are laid before they
are marketed.

During the second year her ratiOns
were made up of sorghum hay. silage,
Oat straw, corn slower and a little cot

riod covered 224 days. The cost of the
feed was 5000 for the second year and
she weighed at the end 60 pounds.
Thus the total cost of feed up to the
time Of maturity was $21.95.

Hog Catch err.

Chasing hogs is exceedingly amusing
when the chaser is bent on pleasure
only. When it becomes an everyday
duty the funny feature disappears, and
instead the air is generally laden with
expletives not suitable to polite society
The hog is an elusive beast. Being round
and fat-and also slippery-the chaser
is not afforded any point of vantage to
obtain a firm hold. This is true with
but one exception, and that Is his tail
But here again the chaser is handicap

Plant Injury from Spraying.

As many still complain about the in
Jury done to the leaves Of trees, rasp-
berry bushes, etc, by spraying, it may
be repeated that there should be
enough alkali, whether lime or soda,

an accomplished gardener. The for
mula for soda Bordeaux calls for six
pounds of copper sulphate to seven and
one-half pounds Of soda, and even then
it might be safer to add a pound of
lime For the ordinary Qime) Bor-
deaux mixture 1 would use at least
as much lime as copper sulphate, pound

No Round Poultry Food.

A correspondent asks for some poul-
try food which will answer for general
purposes-that is, food which will
make hens lay. which is also good for
little chicks and which may be used for
fattening later if desired Novices in
poultry raising are quite likely to be
more or less disturbed by the amount
of detail required to carry on the work
successfully and are generally seeking
for some short cut, especially in the line
of feeding. The same food which will
make hens lay without fattening them
will not do to fatten them on Of
course, corn is usually a part of the va
riety fed hens and will of itself fatten
them, but it is not used by itself as a
regular diet for laying hens 1t would
be as absurd to feed hens cracked corn
entirely as it would be to feed little
chicks the whole kernel.

To Get Rid of Rats.

Dissolve five pounds copperas In ten
gallons of water and add enough fresh
Stacked lime to make a moderately
thick whitewash. Apply to all places
where the rats congregate and they will
desert the place at once. Put some of
the wash into and around their holes
and along their runways wherever pos,
sible to do so. They will change to
other places, but you must follow them
up with the wash, and eventually they
will leave your place altogether and
will not return while the wash remains.

New Use for Waterm eIons.

A Georgia farmer is said to have be
come the pioneer in new industry
namely, making strip out of watermel-
ons. He cuts the melons in halves,
scoops out the pulp, runs it through a
cider mill, presses out the juice and
then boils the liquid for twelve hours
over a hot fire. Out Of 2T0 melons,
worth S. or Sc at wholesale, he gets
thirty gallons of strip, and markets the
product at so cents gallon. The re-
fuse is fed to the hogs, cattle and chick
ems, and the whole operation is very
profitable.

Water Before Feeding.

This question of watering before or
after feeding has never been settled.
A leading English authority states that
horses should never be watered until
after feeding, but always before, espe-
cially if the feed is grain. If horse
is very thirsty give him water and
then wait a short time before feeding.
If possible, horses should always have
access to water. They will drink less
and there is much less danger of indi-
gestion or cholera. If a horse is ex-
Eausted from overeXercise, the supply
Of cold water should be limited. II

When cellars become musty or foul,
and odors are noticed. the best thing to

and burn enough sulphur to fill the Gel

the doors and windows. Next, white
