CARE OF THE KITCHEN.
Clean Walls Are an Essential to
Sanitary Cooking.

II is not only important to know
how to cook, but it is equally impor-
tant to know where to cook. Cook
ing In a dirty kitchen can lever pro-
duce good food. The idea is simply
preposterous, yet kitchen walls are
left for months-sometimes for years
without cleansing.
In the first place the kitchen wall
should have a light tint that the mer-
est leck of dirt can be seen; that the
sheerest cobweb can be brushed
away; that the tiniest water bug can
be discerned. 1t is all folly expecting
clean food in a kitchen with dirty
walls.
Never put a wall coating on a
kitchen wall that is mixed with hot
water or that has glue in it, or sour
milk in it if mixed with cold water.
Glue walls made from horses hoofs
colored up with cheap colorings do
not indicate good housekeeping. The
glue is constantly tiecking off, fall
ing into the food and the idea of food
favored with glue made from horses
hoofs is not appetizing,
Kitchen walls to be thoroughly sat
isNNctory should be alabastined the
same as every other wall in the
house. They should be coated regu-
larly in the spring and fall of each
year with a light tint.
The care of the pantry requires
constant attention. The walls should
be brushed owe every year, the
dishes removed from the shelves
which should be thoroughly wiped
with hot water. If there are ant
holes or any other insects in the pan
tries a thick putty of the wall coat
ing can be made and all the ant holes,
even small mice holes can be filled
with it which will protect the pantry
from the incursions of disagreeable
insects and mice.

HAULING MANURE.
Generally Speaking 1t Is Best to Get It
Out on the Land at Once.

In this n~eighborhood very little If
any of the manure is hauled to the
field as fast as it is made, writes a
Putnam county CHI correspondent Of
Farmers Review. 1t is generally al
lowed to collect in the feed yards or
In heaps at the stables until spring
and then spread upon land that is to
be plowed for corn. If it is not hauled
to the fields in the spring it is left un-
til after harvest and then spread upon
the stubble ground, which is then fall
plowed.
1t is not often spread upon grass
land, unless the land is to be broken
up and planted to corn. AS to the ad-
vantages of winter hauling, If W. are
to get any benefit from the manure
next year we must either haul it dur
ing the winter when W are compare
lively idle, or in the early spring
when other work is apt to be crowd
ing and the condition of the ground is
often such as to prohibit hauling a
load In the fields.
OF course the spring rains will car
ry off more or less fertility when the
manure is applied to the frozen
ground during the winter, especially
II the land Is rolling, but If the land
is fairly level or is grass land l doubt
If the loss is any greater than it would
be IL the manure be left in a pile
under the caves of the barn, where 1t
is likely to be, if it is not hauled to
the field.
Aside from the loss from teaching,
the manure may lose much of its
value from heating If left in the pile
too long. Although much of the ma
nure is still spread by hand from
wagons, s%preaders are much more gen.
orally used than they were a few
years ago, and where they are used l
think the verdict is always the same,
the machine is valuable not only be-
cause it lightens one of the hardest
and most disagreeable tasks on the
farm but because the work is done
better than any a can do it by
hand.
