To Make Excellent Yeast.

Take two large mealy potatoes, after
they have been cooked thoroughly. and
press them through fruit or lard
press. Use about a quart of the water
in which the potatoes have been
boiled, stirring into it flour enough to
make a fairly stiff batter, add one
good. reliable yeast cake that has been
previously soaked in a small amount
of water and allow the whole mixture
to stand until morning. 1t should be
real light and fluffy. Stiffen it with
white corn meal, roll and cut as for
cookies, lay on well Toured board to
dry after which they should be kept
out of the sun. They should be dried
as quickly as possible, but not near a
fire The cakes may smell sour, but
that will not hurt them.

Wall Paper.

Vanished wall paper should never
be cleaned by rubbing with flannel
or cloth. Procure good soft white
wash brush. which can be bought at
any oil store, then have bucket OF
clean, soft warm water, in which yel-
low soap has been lathered. Dip
the brush into the water, slightly
squeeze it, and commence rubbing
gently from the bottom of the paper,
working upward. You will thus have
paper free from smears and the var
nish uninjured.

Gard Index Cook Book.

from a friend or from the paper, do
not write it on loose sheet of paper
and place it in a book where you
probably never will be able to find it
except when you don't want it. In
stead, write the recipe on a new postal
card and file them away in box in
alphabetical order, and reserve one
card for an index. In short, -ime

FERNS AS A PREsERvATlvE.
Leaves Are Excellent for Keeping Fooo
Fresh and Sweet.

The housekeeper who is ever on the
alert for new wrinkles in keeping food
fresh and sweet, should test for her.
self the power of fern leaves as pre-
servative.
The consul general at Frankfort Is
responsible for the statement that
ferns keep meat, fruit, butter and fsA
in good condition longer than grape
leaves, straw, or any other packing
medium
They are much used to bring prod
uce to the English markets and the
Manxmen use them entirely to pack
fresh herring for chipment.
The high percentage of salt in the
ferns appears to be responsible for
their preservative qualities; and the
strong odor of the leaves wards Off
maggots and prevent early decay.
This is a good time for the house
keeper, who lives in the country,
where ferns are plenty and where
food must be stored in quantities, to
try this remedy for herself.
Potatoes and apples packed in ferns
are said to keep many months longer
than if stored in any other way. The
garden vegetables, which are usually.
covered with straw until needed can
have fern leaves put over them in
stead Even fresh meat can be
wrapped in them and kept longer
without spelling.
If one fears to try all of her produce
to an article known only by hearsay,
experiment can be made with both
mediums. Pack most of your things in
the usual way, but reserve a little cf
each kind for the fern treatment.
For fair test the fruit or vegetable
should be from the same stock, gath
cred at the same time, and packed un-
der equal conditions of temperature.
