Wedding books are by no means

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Though baking powder can be bought
so cheap, many housewives like to
make their own; so here is a good
recipe: Mix together till free from

carbonate of soda, cream of tartar and
ground rice. Keep in alright tins.
Cheese should never be left uncov-
cred. The way of Keeping it is to
wrap it in damp-not wet-cloth or
towel
Cheese that has become dry can be
pounded on plate with a knife-or,
better still, in wooden bowl with the
end of the rolling pin, and small
piece OF butter. When mixed, 1t can
be used, seasoned with pepper, for
sandwiches, and the remainder, well
pressed down, stored in a covered Jar
1t can also be grated and used for
cheese dishes.
Jam is better for homemade tarts
If spread on when the paste is nearly
or quite cold. If baked on the tart, the
peste underneath is likely to become
sodden and heavy.

Hash a la Hanna,

Corned beef hash, as made by the
late Senator Hanna's cook, was very
popular in Washington several years
ago. When the head waiter of the

HOME GROWN FEEDS.
What Will Prove the Most Economical

What Will Prove the Most Economical
in Feeding the Cow.
The most economical feeds that
have been able to find for feeding
dairy cows include corn, rye, peas,
bran, clover hay and corn stover,
writes farmer in Farm and Home.
The quantity will depend upon the
size of the cow and should vary ac-
cording to the amount of milk pro-
duced.
For the average COW, weighing
around 1000 pounds, and giving from
two and one-half to three gallons
milk per day, / find the following to
be about the right amount for a
dairy ration: Four pounds corn,
three-fourths pound bran, 1915 pound
COW peas, 5-10 pound clover hay and
all the corn stover that they will
eat Whenver / do not have the
COW peas, increase the amount of
clover and add one to one and
e-half-pounds cottonseed meal.
think cow peas one of the best
and most economical feeds for dairy
cows that we have. The COWS like
them better than any other dry
feed, and they are rich in protein.
always try to raise enough peas
to feed my cows small amount dur
ing the winter The only feeds i
buy are bran and cottonseed meal.
My COWS are fed in stalls and
managers similar to the Boards dairy
stall, which is very satisfactory.
In feeding, l think it best to be reg
ular both as to quantity and time of
feeding. Any increase or lessening of
feed should be done gradually.

FOR THE HYACINTH LOVER.
How Beautiful Plant May Be Raised
to Perfection.

Nothing is easier to grow than the
early Towering Roman, Italian and
Dutch hyacinths. The bulbs can be
planted in pots, about an inch below
the surface. The pots must then be
sunk in deep boxes containing three
inches of ash, or cocoanut fiber refuse
Cover the box with sheets of glass
and keep them indoors.
Your plants will need no water till
they show signs of green growth.
Immediately the first growth ap
