PIG.STY OR COTTON FIELD.
The old Mosaic Laws forbade the us

The old Mosaic Laws forbade the use Of
pork in any form. and modern science has
confirmed the wisdom of the patriarch in
making this Law. The flesh OF the hog is in
digestible; so is the fat. Food prepared with
lard is unwholesome. To meet the demand
for cooking fat that is pure and easily di-
gested. The N. X. Fairbank Company.
Chicago. have put on the market 4 shortening
called COTTOLENE. made from refined veg
etable oil. This cooking fat can be used in
any and every way that lard now is, and can
even be used in place of butter in making
fine pastry. Contrast the source Of lard-the
filthy pig-sty. with the source of COTTO-
LENE-the pure. white cotton boil. and one
can readily understand the great demand for
this pure, vegetable shortening in preference
to the fat Of the hog.

MOLDS FOR MAKING CONCRETE
SEWERS AND CULVERTS
coIIapsble Forms Mixing Cement
Small Expense-By A. All Houshton.

The necessity OF setting up and TAX
ing down forms in making molds for
sewers, bridges and culverts of con-
crete work is great waste of time. in
addition to the great amount of lum-
Der required. With the simple form
described and illustrated herewith
which can be constructed by any one
in q short time and at a slight expense,
the labor in handling forms when
molding all classes of bridges, culyerts
and sewers will be saved, as in a few
minutes time the form can be placed
In position to mold a section, and by
simply removing the key blocks the
form will neatly fold together SO that
II can be removed and used again
without delay in construction.

BRAINS NEEDED IN THE HOME.
Without InteIIiqent AppIicatjon,
Housework Means Drudaery and
General Unhappiness.

AS recipe for happy home there
is none better than brains and good
housekeeping. The more a woman

Housework undirected by brains spells

The housewife with brains knows
the value Of system. OF diregarding
traditions II they mean waste OF

The brain shows the futility of

Effect Of Potato lmports.-In the
face OF heavy importations of potatoes
from England. prices grow firm. An
analysis of the situation indicates that
a shortage Of 3O.OOO,0OO bushels in the
crop compared with last year is not
likely to be overcome by importations,
says Farm and Home. Receipts from
abroad, however. may cause some cas-
ing on in prices from time to time.
Counteracting the heavy imports is
the increased demand at this time for
potatoes for seed purposes Some anx.
iety lest German potatoes flood the
market prompted an investigation of
conditions. 1t appears that ocean
and rail freights from Germany are
such that potatoes from that country
cannot profitably he handled except.

successful, owing to the difficulty OF

some of the following remedies may
be worth the trouble:

A Canadians Opinion Of Bad But

presses his opinion on bad butter:
While the subject is up. why is it
that SO much butter is bad and lot
Of it not flt for human consumption?
Let any farmer who reads this ask
himself the next time he is carrying
the milk to the house from the COW
stable, and he notices a brown scum
on the top Of it, what that brown
scum really is. And then let him ask
himself what he would think II. when
he got to the house, he found his good
wife kneading batch Of dough with
hands as filthy as his own. Let him
wonder whether he could whistle two
bars of Home, Sweet Home.' before
