LIQUID SOAP SHAMPOO.

insufficient attention is given to the
washing of the hair, especially in sum-
lher. The idea on this subject of the
average woman is that by wetting her
mead and hair in warm water and rub
pllg vigorously with cake of soap to
| make ldther following which the head
Is rlnsed, the process of shampooing ia
complete: while, as a matter of fact, a
mead washed in this way is not perfectly
cream and the chances are strong that
all the soap is not removed. Instead,
certain strands are left in slightly
suck condition, whereby they attract
ana mold dirt. Then another disadvan-
lage Of this method is that the soa3
should never be rubbed directly upon
the hair unless it has first been reduced
10 the consistency of a jelly. In that
case it dissolves easily when it touches
the water and so does not adhere to the
tresses.
A mistake frequently made in sham
pooling is to wet the head with water
before applying the cleansing agent. But
this process is not satisfactory, for the
purifying preparation is not used I'M

remove all dirt from the scalp and hair

the quality of the hair. A woman
whose scalp is in good condition may
take half teacupful of the jelly, add
TO 1t teaspoonful of bfcarbonate OF

gether. This, then, is rubbed over the
hair and into the scalp, putting the re-
naming cleansing material over the

rinsing is best in cold water, to close |

Bic Profits in Goats.

Gainesville Sun:-There is no
longer any discussion as to the
fact Of this States suitableness for
the raising of all kinds of live
stock, as in too many localities
the question has been settled in
favor of the practical and every
day demonstration that the State is
well adapted for this purpose.
We can point out many individ-
uals within our limited scope OF
information who have made a sue
cess Of this business. Horses,
cattle, hogs aud all other kinds OF
live stock are being successfully
raised at n large profit, and we
often wonder why it is that our
people do not make this one OF
their main occupations. But it is
with regard to the industry of
raising goats that we particularly
desire to call the attention of the
public. There is no animal
which is so free from disease as the
goat; no animal can be raised with
SO little care and feed, and we con.
fdently state that with a very
small outlay in few years there
can he reaped a rich harvest; for
with a herd of say one thousand
head the revenue will be enor-
NOUS, as oftentimes within one
year the increase is as much as
from sixteen hundred to two
thousand per cent. The flesh of
the goat is as palatable US the best
mutton, and they do not require as
much care as sheep. The hides of
goats are worth double rs much as
sheep hides, and the importation
of goat hides into this country
amounts up to many millions OF
dollars.
With thousand head Of goats
there can be soiled and well fertil-
lied at least two hundred acres of
land each year, and by such soil
ing and fertiizing your lands will
become fertile and productive be-
You'd expectation.
There is no limit TO the profit
arising from the raising of goats,
and with but u small effort on the
part of our farmers there will be
no fertilizer bills; and your lands
will each year increase in value
and all the time you can have
fresh kid for your breakfast or
dinner, One of the things we do
not understand is why the farmer
does not have his herd Of goats.
