NEEDLEWoRK NOTES.

The extremely large buttons used on
coats and skirts have brought new
way Of cutting the buttonholes, for
now. instead Of being just straight
slit, vertical or horizontal, they slant
upward, and the button is sewed so
that the lower end Of the buttonhole
just reaches. This is quite an i'm
provement, for buttons cannot easily
slip out Of these holes.
In replacing an old skirt braid or
sewing on a new one after the skirt
has been finished try the following
method: Rip place In the hem wide
enough to insert a calling card and
by slipping the card along between the
outer and inner parts Of the hem it
will prevent the stitches from showing
through on the outer side. This Is Of
special benefit when sewing on thin
material.
There seems great desire upon the
part Of all persons to again revive the
pleasing art OF hand embroidery as a
proper and BETTING trimming for
waists. One waist of taupe satin. the
new shade Of gray, was made with a
very plain front, showing festoons Of
brick red flowers. The pattern was
somewhat scattered. not the least COM
pact. and showed well upon the duh
background. The sleeves were treated
in similar manner.

girl. 1t comes from London and proves

Cobs For kindIina.

First, provide large substantial dry
goods box. Place In a wood shed and
fill it with old cObs. Second, take any
old pail holding about two and a half
or three quarts. Fill that about quar-
ter full with kerosene oil and hang on
a. stout nail conveniently near the large
box. Then fill the pail with cobs, stand
ing each on end so that the ends will
be submerged in the oil. In the morn
ing take six cobs from the pail, place
In your stove, lay your large wood on
the cobs and touch cobs off with a
match. You will soon have q roaring
hot fire. Nor need you entertain any
fears about 1t not going. for the cobs
have absorbed some Of the oil and will
burn for a half hour or more with in
tense heat. Even green wood may be
used If baked In oven for an hour or so
before the fire Is allowed to go out the
night before. But everybody knows
that green wood is not as easy to kin
die as seasoned wood. The good wife
always appreciates a supply of dry
fuel.
Or course when you take any cobs
out Of the pail others must be put In to
take their places. In this way very
valuable supply Of excellent kindling
is always on hand. and you always
know exactly where to find it If you
have no cobs, any miller is usually
glad to let you have them for carrying
them away, or at the most q miller will
charge you only 25 cents for a two
horse double wagon box load, and
since it is only necessary to use six
cobs to start one fire they will last a
long time. Besides, they are very
handy-no muss or dirt already split
and ready for USE

STORING VEGETABLES.
The Best Way to Keep Them In Win.


ter.
It requires care and a knowledge of
the nature of vegetables In order to
successful keep them through the late
fall and winter. They must, as rule,
be kept in a cool atmosphere, but not
cool enough to freeze. But pumpkin
and squash need dry, warm air and
in gathering must be carefully han
died. 1t is best to leave the stem long,
and never store squashes until ripe.
Potatoes do best In cellar that Is
cool and damp and should be kept in
the dark as much as possible, but
there should be an arrangement for a
good circulation of air.
Barrels or boxes are best for car
rots, parsnips, beets and turnips. Aft
er storing in these receptacles sand or
fine soil should be placed on top, allow
ing it to run down between the roots
The soil should be shaken down SO as
to fill all the spaces.
In harvesting the vegetables must
be carefully handled and the tops cut
off an inch or more from the top. This
will prevent chance of decay from
close cutting. If beets are cut too
close they will bleed, losing their sweet
flavor. and quickly spoil.
Onions should be perfectly dried as
soon as gathered and not allowed In q
damp place If kept In a dry room
where the thermometer Is barely
above freezing they will keep well.
i Cabbage placed In a barrel and sunk
Ia the ground and so arranged that
moisture cannot enter and then thick
ly covered with straw and earth will
keep nicely till far into spring. But
where 1t is intended to be used dur
ing the winter good plan is to cut off
the stems and outer leaves, trim the
heads about as much as If preparing
to cook and then wrap each head sep
arately In several thicknesses Of news
paper This will exclude the air. Aft
er lining barrel with paper pack the
wrapped heads closely In 1t and after
all are in cover with paper. The bar
rel must be kept In the coolest part Of
the cellar. Dampness will not harm
the keeping qualities.
To keep tomatoes pick the largest
Specimens that have begun to show
color as soon as the vines are cut by
frost, but before the fruit is frosted.
Handle carefully to prevent bruising.
Wrap each tomato separately In soft
paper and place in shallow boxes or
on shelf one layer deep. Keep in
cool place, secure from frost, so as to
prevent ripening. If a few are brought
out at a time and placed in a warm
place they will quickly ripen. They
can thus be kept for several weeks
after killing frosts.
An occasional turning under of the
whole crop Is one Of the best paying
methods of farming.

The Woman Who Is Always ri

We all have met her-the woman
who lays down the law-and most OF
us regret the meeting.
No matter what is under discussion,
she has her opinion and does not hesi-
tate to proclaim It, That she knows
nothing Of the subject makes no diff
ference In her vociferousness..
Her voice is usually rasping, her
words staccato and her emphasis
sharp. She may not intend to be dis
agreeable, but the effect is not altered
by intentions.
The irritation of disturbed hornets
nest is mild compared with the feel
ings aroused by the layer down of the
law. Even when in the right her wis
dom is hated on general principles.
She can stir up more opposition than
motion to raise taxes. You go out
of your way to thwart her and make
yourself uncomfortable doing what
she does not wish.
Silent protest or open pugnacity Is
the usual attitude Of her hearers. The
good tempered sufferer revels when
the town regulator strikes a scrapper.
Tact is not her long suit. The more
reason there is for silence the louder
IS her expression of opinion. Her
knowledge of where her own business
ends Is scant.
1t Is the layer down of the law who
can be depended upon to say the
wrong thing every time. She it is
who makes 1t her business to take a
meek little wife to task for her hus-
bands shortcomings or widens a
breach by telling both combatants
their duty.
If only she knew how great is her
conceit! Most people find regulating
their own lives so difficult that they
are slow to think themselves capable
Of including the rest of mankind in
their managing. Seeing both sides Is
not her chief characteristic. Her way
Is the right way, and woe to the one
who differs! Arguing is as futile as
the fight with old age
You might stand her better If only
she were ever in the wrong. To be
able just once to convince the regu-
lator that her opinion is unfounded we
would cheerfully consent to be "boss-
ed the rest of our days.
She would be easier to bear IL her
rulings were from the height of su-
periority. Too often the director of
the morals and manners of others is
far from being invulnerable herself.

Come People Think Duty Done II
- Sulphur Is Burned.
If you live In the country or where
there is no board of health to fumi-
gate for you after a contagious dis
ease. it is well to know how to do ii
for yourself
Some persons think their duty done
II few sticks of sulphur are burned
in room even after such diseases as
scarlet fever or diphtheria. Unless
properly used sulphur is quite inef-
fective.
The room must be air tight This
does not mean doors and windows
closed, but practically hermetically
sealed.
If possible, shut the windows so that
they can be, opened from the outside.
1t makes It easier on the one who
must open the room after fumigation.
Have on hand plenty Of cotton bat
ting cut into strips three or four inches
wide. This should be stuffed into all
cracks around the doors and windows
and in the keyholes. ID
Cover q register or fireplace with un-
bleached muslin tackled or pasted tight
over the opening to prevent the fumes
from escaping. An old fashioned blow
er can be used In the fireplace II the
edges are stuffed tight.
Open bureau drawers and closets
and open and hang up bedding and
any underclothing that may have been
In the room.
Toilet articles Of silver or brass fur
nishings should not be used In q sick
room, as sulphur will ruin them. II
they have been used, wash them on
carefully with carbolic acid solution
or some other disinfectant and remove
them before fumigating.
Buy rolled sulphur and break It into
small pieces. Every 500 cubic feet of
air space will take about a pound and
three-quarters Of sulphur. Three
pounds to room ten feet square will
answer.
Remember that the effect of the
fumes is heightened by moisture. so
have vessels Of water standing in the
room and hang up wet sheets. The
Iron pot in which sulphur Is burned
can also be stood in pan Of water.
A small preserving kettle should be
stood In a deep dishpan and both
raised from the floor by inverted fow-
erpots or bricks.
B Ii the sulphur is saturated with alco-
hoi, 1t will burn better 1t Is well to
investigate at the end of a half hour.
for the sulphur may not have ignited.
Do not open the room for twenty-four
hours.
If you cannot get at the windows
from the outside, cover the mouth and
nose with damp cloth until the win
dow is reached and have strong draft
blowing from the hall.
Let the room air for a day before
using again and wash off the wood
work and floor with a solution of car
bolic acid and water in the proportion
of tablespoonful of the acid to a gal
Ion Of hot water.
For scarlet fever or diphtheria bed
ding should be burned or sent to be re-
covered. All toys that cannot be
washed should be burned. and books as
well. Scarlet fever has been taken
from books after twenty years. Fresh
paper should be put on the walls.

Book For Menus.

The various menus served at lunch
cons and dinners are so soon forgotten
by the hostess that she is often apt to
repeat the menu for some Of the same
guests. To prevent this the woman
who entertains. might buy blank
book and into 1t write a list Of the
guests entertained and the menu
served, together with a word or two
about the decorations. In this way
she has but to look over the list to see
what she served when certain guests
were entertained. After few months
or so the book would prove valuable
for suggestions.

Waste of Si!aqe.

The following Is a Canadian farm
er's method of preventing waste Of
silage:
Each year as frequently as silos
are filed there Is considerable waste
owing to the surface layer coming In
contact with the air. The loss varies
with the condition of the corn and
with the attention it has received after
it IS placed In the silo. In seasons Of
plenty 1t is a common practice to SIM
ply fill the silo and take chances on
what would spoil. This is very
wasteful practice. 1t is possible to
bring this waste down to a minimum
by little attention after the silo has
been filed and thoroughly tramped.
Last year. owing to the scarcity of
corn, we made an extra effort to pre-
serve all that we had. AS a result of
these efforts there were scarcely two
inches of spoiled silage. After the
silo was filed and thoroughly tramp
ed we put two inch layer of clover
chaff on 1t. We then dampened this
chaff with q barrel of water in which
had been dissolved ten quart pail of
salt. This brine proved to be the
most effectual preserver we had ever
tried. On the surface, when we came
to feed the silage, the two inch layer
on top peeled off slick and clean and
left good silage Immediately under
Meath Try this scheme on your silo
this fall. and you will saye much fod-
der that would otherwise be spoiled.
1t Is much better than char and grow
! ing grain such as is commonly used"
