Kitchen Hints,

Many women leave silver spoons
In preserves from one meal to an
other, remarking that the articles
are silver and the fruit acid will not
ruin them. But do they stop to
think what the silver will do to the
fruit? II poisons it. even though the
spoon Is silver. There is chemical
process between the fruit acid and
metal which makes the fruit unfit for
use. This is even more SO where
genuine silver is not used. Lard
viii tHt-tt spoon green In few
days In hot weather, yet often a sill
yer spoon will be left in the lard

will be left for hours in the tin

porcelain, acids In glass, sugar in a
porous crock or glass jar, salt In
wooden box or glass receptacle and
spices in tin that they will not abb

Informed me that he was going out OF
the sheep business this fall, as the
sheep do not pay.
Instances similar to the above are
a good illustration of how some farm
ers attempt profitable sheep raising.
The high price of flock products not
infrequently stimulates farmers who
have been following some other meth
cd OF farming TO go into sheep raising
without first considering whether or
not they are adapted to the business.
To go into sheep raising simply on the
strength of favorable market condi-
tions is placing one on the direct road
TO practical failure. | have yet to find
the man who is raising sheep simply
from the standpoint of financial pro-
position who has made marked ste
cess. The sheep business requires more
than the mere investment OF few
dollars.
1t demands persistent study and
thoughtful, painstaking management
to make the business a success. The
farmer who goes into sheep, thinking
that they will look after themselves
during the larger portion of the year.
is harboring an impression that ulti-
mately will bring him disappointment
Too much must not be expected of
sheep They are the most gentle and
easily handled. Of domestic animals,
yet at the same time they resent i'll
treatment. A great many fail with
sho.. just on this account. They buy
a.. head to start In the business
without giving thought to the kind Of
management essential to produce good
results. There are seasons of the year
when sheep demand close attention.
If they are neglected at these times,
no matter how good the treatment
may be henceforth, only partial sue
cess can at best realized.
