ABOUT THE SMALL. FARM.

50 !lucA Is peiHs plihteu concerning inc
oeslTan!lsy OF inc small iarhl over .he
departmen, there is a]hnnS asea onpor,u ul9
itv for one to get a wrong conception of
the situation and make costly and almost
fatal mistakes. With some readers the
impression seems to prevail that the ad-
vice is 10 turn 10 rardeninr an a few acres
and let the res, OF the farm shift for it
self. This miyht be prontablv done in
some cases and in some sections but in
the majority of cases il would be suicidal.
There are many farms I'm the country on
which corn is the main crop. A man may
have iftv to 100 acres I'm corn and make a
crop of thirty or forty bushels per acre
while If he had twenty acros in corn he
could readily Increase his weld and. per
haps, put the balance into meadow and
make much more actual prodt with much
less work than he did ON the larger area.
Here is an instance of where he would
gain by the change. on the other hand
he might turn one-half OF the fifty acres
into truck garden stuff and by reason OF
me ode expense for help and fertilizers

CLEAN YARD THOROUGHLY.
Tn the Snring Woman's Thoughts

first breath of warm weather. II Is
very essential that the mouse snouiu

but better that than to neglect the

that the first and best work should be
done.
A good housekeeper was 10 move
with her family to new nome las
year and it happened that the farm
house had been occupied by very
shiftless family. Don't you just
dread that house?" a friend asked her,
but she quickly replied: t can clean
the house. but the yard is filthy. Inc
clean family set to work to renovate
things and this is the way they did It..
The back yard was plowed just as deep
as possible and the garden planted TO
| the very kitchen porch. The od SOIL,
redolent with filth, was combed by the
sharp rake of the accumulation OF
| wears. and whatever could be burned
was speedily turned into smoke and
| ashes. Then the Odd cans and bottles
| and broken dishes were raked into a
| deem trench and the whole smoothed
| over. The garden was wonderfully pro-
| ductive that year and the next before
a fine sod was started, but the new
/ mistress said she usually ate the vege-
| tables with a little shudder when she
recollected that back yard.
This may have been an extreme case
| but the tidy housewife is apt to holt

FOR BED FURNISHINGS.

The rage for beds of gayly painted
enamel, even of pure white enamel,
has given place to distinct demand
for the plainest of brass beds.
An up-to-date bedroom is a marvel
of simplicity, beautiful rugs, plain, IN
figured walls and simple furniture.
The marseilles Counterpart, even in
white. is no longer used. In its stead
had come lawn or linen bedspreads,
many of which are tucked.
Most expensive of the bedspreads
are those of fine linen, hand-embrold-
cred in satin stitch, English eyelet
work, or madeira.
The newest quilts shown are OF
white Japan2sr SIX al made to fold
at the foot CT The led. hey are thick
with down, are not heavy, and are
Just large enough to cover the bed.
The most popular color for bedroom
fittings is pure whfte. Very little
blue, pink, or yellow, favorite colors
| previous seasons, are shown.
Curtains match the bed covers. II

MEASURES IN THE KITCHEN
Recipes Varying in Their Terms, 1t
Is Well to Know Both WeightS

Butter-A cupful OF butter Is seven
and one-half ounces if pressed quite
solid. A cupful of melted butter is
one-half ounce lighter. 1t is usually
near enough for cooking to call cup

egg is one and one-half ounces.
Sugar-A level cupful of graduated
sugar is seven oulces-two cupfulS IS
two ounces less than a pound. Al
though sugar by the grain is heavier
than water and will sink instantly,
the air spaces between the grains
make a cupful weigh less than so
much liquid One-half pound OF gran

fine granulated weighs the same, icing

cupful is but six ounces. All that

ounces. A level cupful of brown
sugar is six ounces. Up in the noun
tains cake recipes which people have
been used fail 1t is all because Oh

| used at great elevations as at sea
level. hence the reason for being par
ticular about weights.
Molasses.-A cupful of thick mo-
| lasses weighs II ounces-that Is
| three-quarters of pound-half as
| much more as equal measure OF water
and five ounces more than a level cup
| full of granulated sugar. Thin slrups
do not weigh quite so much.
Flour-A level cupful of (patent
sifted) flour is four ounces. A cup
