The main trouble with the hands In
that women do not know how to use
them. Here are some hand rules:
Don't sit with your thumbs doubled
up; it makes the thumb joint large. !
Don't put your thumbs in your
mouth, for it makes the tip of the
thumb big.
Don't use III teeth upon your fin,

of the nail and makes the fingers
stubby. =,
Don't use your fingers as drumsticks
unless you want to make your fingers
tips as round and as big as marbles.
Don't strain your hands by driving
in pins or tacks or by using them
roughly; you will surely spoil their
shape. -
Don't pull your fingers.
Don't bend your fingers backward.
Don't distort your knuckles or mus

Many peonle are puzzled by the terms

Very often the ~embroiderer finds her
silk roughing or her cotton breaking,
to the ruin alike OF temper n work.
A roughened hand. on which silk
catches may ruin the looks OF any en-
broidery, while often the fault lies with
the needle she uses. A too small needle
eye will cause the thread to cut and,
fray, while a too large eye on the 9TH

the thread does not I'LL up. The care

to get sticky or rusty. She will keep

A rather new yet snowy way to work

with solid French knots.

make a sick bed. II the sick persons

m.Tning abultions, attend to that first
and then allow q few minutes rest.
Next move the invalid to one side OF
the bed covered with a light blanket.
Make the opposite side OF the bed, re-
moving the soiled lower sheet. The
cleen sheet should be folded length
wise in the middle OF the bed and the
IAlow case changed. Then move the
ps1tient carefully to the fresh side OF
tae bed and, drawing out the folded
side OF the sheet, proceed to make the
other side OF the bed.

Otherwise pin the upper corners OF II

The moulting period is more or less
of a severe strain on the vitality or
the fowls. The older hens and those
already depleted from heavy laying are
quite apt to fall by the wayside before
completing their new coat Of plumage.
IL you intend to sell Off a number OF
hens to make room for young stock
better do IL now when laying ceases and
before the moult has a chance to run
them down in flesh Carrying these
hens through the LIoult Ia simply a
waste Of feed and time besides the pos
sibility Of loosing a number.

s Wheat or bran fed with oats makes
a good combination. Corn should be
eliminated for August entirely, and the
latter days Of July. It is heating and
f~attening, two things we most wish 10
fight in the hot weeks. Wheat is ex-
pensive but 1t goes much farther ac-
.cording to bulk than corn. Bran will
do about as well and can be obtain
