How to Clean Satin Slippers.

If you wore satin slippers last win
ter and find upon taking them out this
season that they are soiled, it is well
to clean them at once. If the satin is
but slightly soiled get some pieces Of
stale bread and rub the surface gently
with it. This takes off all small dis
colorations Kneaded rubber will do
the same work, although some women
do not like it because it crumbles off
ON the satin. If the slipper is still
soiled looking after this treatment, rub
the entire surface with the thread.
Remember not to go against or across
it. White flannel should be used-a
clean piece-dipped in spirits of wine
If this rubbing is done gently and
evenly over the surface, the effect is
excellent.

RHODE ISLAND GRANGE.
Order Growing In Infiuence-state
Master Marchant Re- elected.

Order Growing In lnfluence-State
Master Marchant Re- elected.
Rhode Island is small state grange.
but it has very active state grange
organization under the leadership Of
State Master Marchant. who at this
session was elected for the fourth
term The Order has become quite a
decided influence with the farmers and
with state legislation.
One question that was discussed
with considerable vigor related to the
state board of health, which vas quite
severely criticised by the stats master
in his annual address and by many
other speakers because it was not
more in touch with the farmers. The
criticism was largely based on the fact
that the department OF health had
charged tina. the epidemic of typhoid
in the city of Providence had emanatel
from a farm in West Kingston which
had been officially inspected and given
a clean bill Of health. Then after a
cursory investigation it was stated
that the farm was the source Of ty-
nhoid Infection.
The secretary reported the total
grange membership in the state at
about 5000 in thirty-two oranges. The
other matters discussed were the. pro-
lection laws against deer, forest fire
protection, grange fire insurance. par
cells post and rural free deliveries.

Soil For Spring Vegetables.

The manure for the early spring
vegetables. such as peas, potatoes. on
ions, beets, cabbage and corn, should
be hauled and put into large, compact
heaps. Put ten to twelve two-horse
wagon loads in each pile. This quantity
when rotted will make six large two
horse loads, enough to spread in three
and half foot drills for one acre of
ground This is the usual quantity to
spread to the acre when used in the
drill If manure is broadcasted Il. will
take double this quantity. The manure
should be mixed as it is piled-that is,
spreading horse manure oyer the cat
tie manure. Each foot layer of manure
should be plastered The plaster helps
to rot the straw in the manure. 1t
will also prevent the loss of ammonia
and make compact, square heaps.
After the heap is finished cover the
sides and tops with six inches of
earth. The earth covering will pre-
vent the gases from escaping. 1t will
also prevent the top layer from drying
out. This is the method followed by
the florists and nurserymen who re-
Quire fine, rich, well rotted manure
There is a good demand for manure
from the city truck stables, as the
horses, being heavily fed on grain and
good quality of hay and well bed
ded with rye straw, make the best
kind of manure, suitable for all crops
The 11Sual nrica for thiS mamma is
$7.20 for all the manure made by each
horse when in the stable for one year
Pickup manure is of doubtful value
The usual price is rs cents to 81 per
load in the winter and about half this
during the summer. Practical truck
ers buy the high priced stable manure,
as it contains all the elements needed
for the growing of both truck and
farm crops.

How 10 vsntiIate 4 sickroom.


In ventilating sick chamber it is
often desirable and necessary to leave
the window open to secure fresh air.
The best way to do this is to tack
piece of muslin across the open win
dow by means of thumb tacks. If the
air is chilly this will keep the drafts
off the patient and will keep out the
dust and dirt which might otherwise
be blown in. If the day is hot and
sultry, and these days are the hard
est and most trying on a sick person,
an ideal way to ventilate, purify and
cool the air is to open the window or
windows and stretch a piece of mus
lin across the opening, then lower the
shades to where the window is open
ed, and after this has been done thor
oughly saturate the muslin with cold
water. Then place a large basin or
pail of cold water under or near the
bed If this is done it often will en-
able restless patient to obtain some
much needed sleep and rest. AS soon
as the muslin becomes dry wet it
again.

weather proved conclusively that those
provided with tight roof did not con-
tain nearly as much frozen silage as
those left open.
The freezing of silage does not nee
essarily mean loss, as it may be
thawed out and made fit for feeding
and when properly attended to need not
rot or mold The frozen silage may be
often thawed by mixing with the
warm silagn at {he center of the sio.
1t is generally considered dangerous
to feed frozen silage.
In order to secure first class con-
crete silo it is necessary that good ma
terials. well mixed in the right pro
portions, be used in preparing the con-
crete and that the whole be skfllfully
handled If these requirements are
fulfilled the writers upon investigation
are confident that no better silo can
be erected than one constructed of
concrete. The investigations. how
ever. would indicate that it is not ad-
visable for the man with no expert
ence with concrete construction to at
tempt the building of a concrete silo
The expense involved is too great for
the individual farmer who has not
previously constructed buildings of
concrete to experiment. The work
should be turned over to the concrete
contractor under a guarantee that only
a first class silo be built
Among the desirable features of the
concrete silo or any masonry silo may
be mentioned that it is essentially
fire proof A silo was found in use in
Wisconsin which had withstood' fire

ing of silage In the silo during cold
weather as far as possible. and the silo
of a construction to prevent freezing
to the largest degree is the preferable
one. other things being equal. says a
bulletin issued by the Iowa expert
ment station 1t is difficult to make a
comparison between the merits of the
various types of silos in this respect
owing to the inability to find them un-
der like conditions. Freezing of silage
is due to loss of heat. first. through the
silo wall and. second, to the air in con.
tact with the feeding surface. The
first loss may be reduced by using a
nonconducting wall in the silo and the
second by preventing the circulation
Of air above the silage in the silo.
1t may be impartia!ly said that as
far as the prevention of freezing of ST.
lage is concerned the stave. stone. sin
gle wall brick and concrete silos are of
equal merit When properly made
however, the double wall concrete silo
is perhaps the most nearly frost proof
of all. The conducting material be-
tween the walls consists only in small
metal ties. and the circulation of air
may be cut off by the insertion of hori-
zontal tar paper partitions. When the
top of the silo is open and free cir
culation of air permitted it is almost
impossible to prevent the surface from
freezing in severe weather. per

at these figures one can scarcely com
prehend the amount of work that is
done during the lecturers hour in the
various subordinate grange meetings.
During the year there have been deliv-
cred in the subordinate oranges of
New Hampshire 4,S91 vocal and ALT
instrumental selections of music, 1924

How to Ereshen Potted Ferns

1t is said that ferns may be kept
fresh by giving them steaming of
three hours. Once every week or so
they should be put into the bathroom.
shutting all windows and doors of the
room to keep in the steam. The bath
tub should then be filed with hot wa
ter. 1t will give out good steam.
The room should not be cooled sud-
denly after this is. done By treating
the ferns to this bath ii is not neces-
sary to wash and spray the leaves,
which does not give SO satisfactory a
result.

FORGOT HIS OWN LINES.
A Quotation That the Poet Campbell
Failed to Recognize.

That poets. like other folks. some
times forget their own creations il
shown by an incident related by Sir
Frederick Pollock. At dinner where
Thomas Campbell and Lord Nusent
were present the conversation drifted
from the use Of Latin words in English
to monosyilabic verse. Some one ex.
pressed a doubt whether two conSecu
tive lines composed OF words Of one
syllable could he found in our
language. Lord Susent at once quoted ::
by that dread name We wave the sword
on high.
And swear for her to live-with her to
die"
Campbell said be did not believe in
the lines and asked where they came
from. Lord Nugent said. From your
own Pleasures OF Hope" How do
you know that:" asked the poet. II
know It all by heart" replied Nusent.
I'm bet you guinea you can't repeat
It," said Campbell. The bet was taken
and Sugent started declaiming. The
poet soon got tired and said: Il see
you know the poem. Don't 60 any
further" The other insisted upon re-
peating the whole poem or claimin:

extra guinea In order to be spared the
recital OF the poem which had made
him famous-which be had forgotten

The Necessity Of Advertising and the
Efficiency Of Statesmen.
A man may have several carloads OF
ability. He may have brains and ideas
and other desira BILE things. But all the
ideas ever "ideated" will not avail to
raise a man who neglects that all i'm
rortant item of advertising. You sim
ply must get attention. OF course you
can get attention by firing or a re-
volver during office hours or you can
DO 1t by wearing loud clothes and pro-
claiming your kinship in the sporting
fraternity. But most men who have
risen from the ranks have carefully
neglected to use methods Of this kind.
Every office man must act as his
own salesman. He must first prepare
himself BY increasing his efficiency.
he must be able to do the work for
which he is hired. Not only should
he do that for which he is hired. but
he must do that work better than 1t
ever was done before. When that item
has been attended to 1t is then time tc
look about for more work.
The wise employee will keep his eye
on the job ahead or. better still. will
look at n job which does not exist. but
which should exist for the good Of the
business. The next step Is to think
out selling talk that will get the at.
tention. arouse the interest. create a
