from the soil about
100 pounds of actual
POTASH per acre, which must
be replaced or else the yield
will fall off in quantity and
quality.
A good tobacco fertilizer

PACKING GIFTS.
How Christmas Presents May BE
wrapped Up Attractively

Even the most long wished for or the
most charming gift is robbed of some
of the joyous Christmas spirit if it is
sent carelessly wrapped or is done up
like an ordinary everyday parcel, and
even the most simple gift receives an
added grace if it is put up attractively
and is accompanied by Il bright, pleas
ant greeting.
The Christmas gifts may be given Il
festal appearance at Il very small out
lay of time and money by wrapping
them in scarlet or white paper and ty-
ing them with scarlet ribbon, fastening
a Sprig of holly i'll the bows, say Il
writer in What to Do. The effect will
be so CHEEKY and Christmas-like that
manila paper and twine will never be
thought of again.
Little boxes, such as jewelers. boxes,
wrap up in white paper; candy or SINH
lar shaped boxes in two papers. the in
ner one white, the outer II scarlet.
Gather the ends up III top, clip into
points and frill out. Crap books in
scarlet paper. pin cushions or other
fancy work in white, bundles in scar
let or white and scarlet, tying ut the
ends with ribbon. Umbrellas and
canes wind with strips of white and
scarlet paper. transforming them into
time honored candy canes.
In doing up china sets for the bureau
or desk, or oatmeal or tete-a-tetes,
wrap the pieces in scarlet paper. gath,
er up on top and tie. Then clip into
poinsettia blooms. Wrap the tray or
plate in green paper n tie the bios
SONS on with ribbon. Cards the size
of a visiting card may be bought as
cheap as a penny apiece. More eX'
pensive cards may of course be pur'
chased if ones purse holds out. A
very pretty card has a border of holly
in colors, with a blank space to write
or letter the Christmas wish upon
This may be the usual greeting or Il
quotation. Any of the following lines
are pleasant wishes to send with q
gift:
Yule logs of love burn in the heart
With rosy warmth and cheer,
And Care-well, may she come at most
Like Christmas, once a year.
A happy Christmas to you.
May it bring you all fair things
With the sweetest remembrance
That about its coming clingS.
Eunbeams bless thy Christmas day
Gladness with thee dwell for aye.
A better gift you may have. but no
with better heart.
Our true intent is all for your delight.

GAMES.
How to AmV>se the Children During
the Holidays.

Christmas day games for the chill
dren are as necessary as Il plum pud-
ding. and the following will please
them and are welcome to many grown
ups, says the Chicago Tribune:
Santa Claus Pack.-All form in line
and march to a lively strain on the
piano to the next room, where Il table
holds the contents of Santa Claus
pack. They ook at every object on
the table and hen march back. The
company now divides in half, one-hulf
leaving the room, the table and its
contents having been covered. Those
remaining choose some object which
they remember seeing; the piano begins
to play again and the others return.
The leader gives to the returning party
a word which rhymes with the object
chosen. Thus, If it was a ball, he
might mention the word hall" The
returning party now proceed to guess
what object has been chosen. and they
express their guess by acting in panto-
mime. They do not all suggest the
object in the same way, but each ac-
cording to his individual fancy, but
they must all agree upon the object
they will guess. If wrong they go
N for another trial and SO on until
guessed, when the other half of the
company goes out, and they remain
and select the object for the Others to
guess.
Hiding the Mistletoe.-All form in
line, single file, and march about the
room or several rooms until the music
stops. They then proceed to hunt the
mistletoe, which the leader carried in
his hand and concealed somewhere
during the march. The finder must
effect return to the starting point with
out being touched by the leader.
Santa Claus Sleigh.-SiX girls are
harnessed to a little sleigh or sled,
and the white ribbon reins are held
by a seventh. The sled Is filed with
small parcels in colored papers con-
tanning Christmas crackers or any
trifies as favors. The party goes round
the room several times, dispensing the
favors to the young men, who proceed
to select partners n dance until n
signal from the leader calls all to
march around the room and back to
their places.
S~nowball.-A large white ball OF It's
sue paper is suspended well out of the
way of bric-a-brac. The young girls
take turns at shooting at this ball with
q small rubber ball. When hit with
sufficient force it breaks n out falls
a shower Of smaller white balls, per
haps popcorn balls, which are gathered
and presented as favors for the next
march or dance. AS there should be
only about half as many balls as there
are couples dancing, this will cause a
scramble among the small boys who
gather them up and who, for fair deal
ing, should be kept behind a certain
line until the ball receives the sho,
that bursts it.

Men are often glad of a pincushion to
hang up in their rooms, provided only
that is it not too feminine in appear
ance A very novel pincushion can be
made Of a pipe Ease, which should be
new and fresh looking and which it is
often possible to obtain. for nothing
from a brother or a friend. Make Il
cushion exactly to fit the hollow which
held the pipe or a little larger, as it
must be well pushed into the case, the
hollow being covered beforehand with
glue. The cushion should be stuffed
with sawdust or anything soft and GOV.
cred with some pretty velveteen or silk,
the color being carefully chosen to
match or contrast with the case. A
pale brown or fawn color looks well,
as a rule. OF course the pipe case will
be double, being open, and II side
can, If desired, be left as it is or util-
lied as a cushion for needles. A rib
bon bow Of color to match must be
added at the top to hang it up by.

How to Roast a Small Pig.

If you are going to have a small
pig for your Christmas dinner here is
a splendid way to roast it. OF course
your butcher will prepare the pig, so
far as cleaning is concerned. When

and out with a damp cloth. Make a
stuffing of a cupful Of breadcrumbs.
q half chopped onion, two heaping ia.
blespoonfuls of melted butter, a scant
tablespoonful Of sage, a little grated
nutmeg, a saltspoonful Of salt and two
well beaten eggs. Stuff the pig with
this, sewing him up. then bend his
front legs backward under him and his
hind legs forward, also under him, and
tie them with stout twine close to the
body. Dredge with -four, put into the
dripping pan, pour a cupful of water
over and around the pig, rub with but
ter and roast. basting frequently for
about two hours or longer If he pig

The illumination of the tree is an
important problem, for by the indis'
Greet use of candles many a joyous
Christmas has been turned into one of
mourning. Tiny japanese lanterns are
much safer than unShielded candles,
and they give a prettier effect. The
small square lanterns with colored mica
sides are also safe, for they have a
sponge in the bottom that may be sat
urated with kerosene. When the wick
is lighted it burns brightly. and lasts
longer than ordinary wax candles.

How to Make Initiation Snowflake

n A Christmas tree decoration that is
easily and ineXpensively made at home
is snowballs. A coil Of fine picture
wire, a box of diamond powder and a
bundle Of cotton batting mot sheet
wadding) are the materials needed.
The wire is cut in various short
lengths, a wad of the cotton thrust
upon it, patted into shape to look like
q ball, and the powder busted over it
from a perforated toilet powder box.
The other end Of the wire is bent over
to form a fastening, and the ball is
ready for the tree. 1t is effective to
have the balls vary in size from that
Of a small apple to a large orange.

How to Prepare Turkey Salad.

For the supper table Christmas
night chicken or turkey salad in a
cranberry mold is delicious. Make the
cranberry jelly and mold in a ring.
Turn out very carefully just before
serving and fill the center with the

good as, if not better, than chicken
salad when mixed with plenty Of cell
cry and a few walnut meats.
