How to Wash Woolens.

The very best way to wash sweaters,
babies sacks, leggings and afghans--
in fact, all garments knitted or cro-
cheted-Of wool is to sew the article in
Il bag of cheesecloth or mosquito net
ting. Then wash the bag. with its
contents, in soft water with a good
white soap. The water must not be
cold; neither must it be very hot, and
of course the soap must never be rub
bed into the bag, the wafer being soap
ed beforehand. After rinsing in sew
eral waters. which must be of the
same temperature as the soapy water,
rip the garment from the bag, but do
not hang it on a line to dry Lay it
fiat on table without stretching and
place in the air to dry. If colored,
avoid the sunlight, as it will fade it.
Some ammonia in the water helps to
keep wool garments soft The disas-
trous experience that many people have
had in washing sweaters is due to the
fact that they wiring and stretch them,
which should never be done Simply
crush the bag to squeeze out the wa
ter, but do not wiring.

How to Make Ices and Creams With
Summer Fruits.

When it comes to summer desserts
the ice cream freezer shows to its full
advantage, says the June Delneator.
Literally hundreds of ices and creams
can be made nowadays. many of them
with the least possible trouble, if only
one owns the most useful household
utensl.
The plain vanilla cream. which the
beginner should learn because it is the
basis of so many others, is made by
this rule: Scald a pint of rich milk or
thin cream with cupful of sugar.
Cool. flavor and add pint of cream,
plain or whipped. and freeze. This
can be varied indefinitely by adding
summer fruits Crush quart Of
strawberries, sweeten with sugar and
water sirup and put these in when the
cream is half frozen. or add a cupful of
stale cake crumbs and some chopped
nuts, or flavor with strong coffee, or
melt and brown the sugar you are to
use and add that and have q caramel
ice cream.
For plain ice, which is the basis of
all ices, boil cupful of sugar and two
cupfuls of water to a smooth strip.
Add fruit juice or lemon, or both.
Strain, cool. add two egg whites I'M
beaten and freeze. A little lemon juice
Is always really necessary, with other
fruits to bring out the flavor.
Pineapple can be picked up very fine
or put through a press and added to
the plain ice when it is half frozen, or
currant juice may be put in. or sap
berry juice. or, indeed, anything one
happens to have at hand

REPORT ON
THE YIELD
OF COTTON
Secretary Barret Gives
Out FiSureS-LeSS Than
Last Year

Guthrie, Okla, Dec. S-The best es-
innate obtainable at the present time
is that Oklahoma state will have
yield of 100000 bales of cotton this
year, as against 95O.0OO in 1907 This
is the estimate made by Charles +.
Barrett. secretary of the state board
Of agriculture. He learns that the
ginning figures, thus far obtainable,
show 10000 bales thus far less than
last seasons figures at this time, the
estimate of three of the biggest cot
ton farms OF Oklahoma this year. The
decrease in yield runs about the same
over the entire state, and in this par
ticular section the falling off is in
proportion to that over the entire
state.
Local cotton men who own lines of
gins throughout Central Oklahoma say
lit takes an average of 1850 pounds
seed cotton this year to make bale
OF line, as against an average of 1 500
pounds of seed in 1907. In some in
stances cotton is running as well as
Hast year. but in others it is taking
from 100 to 1900 pounds to make a
bale of lint.
Reports being received at the office
of the secretary of the board of ag
riculture show an average Of 70 per
cent of the crop picked in the state;
locally the per cent picked is about
Itwo-thirds of the crop. AS a rule, la
Dor has been sufficient, although the
Estate labor bureau has been frequent-
lily called upon for men during the sea
son Some Mexicans and Bulgarians
have been used in the picking, and
in Western Oklahoma, some Indians.
Throughout Northern and Central
Oklahoma the farmer is selling his
cotton as fast as it is picked. There
is disposition in the southern coun-
ties to hold the crop for better price
but the majority of the crop is being
marketed.
