To Cook Rice Properly.

In the North where was raised rice
was used only as dessert and was
cooked until soft and pasty, so when
| came South, where it is eaten as a
vegetable, [ tried to learn to like it but
with rather poor success until got an
old time South Carolina colored woman
to cook for me and the rice came onto
the table tender and white but every
grain whole and separate. I am as fond
of rice ever since as a native Southerner.
Igot her to teach me to cook it and
this is her way: Wash the rice thorough
ly until all the loose starch is removed.

boiler in plenty of cold water to which
salt has been added. Place over the fire
and boil gently, using fork with which
to stir it. When the grains are barely
tender drain off the water as dry as
possible and place in the under boiler
of hot water to steam and keep hot until
ready to place on the table. Twenty to
thirty minutes is ample time to cook
it.-"M."

To Remove Coffee Stains.

The most difficult of all stains to
take out are those made by coffee. Most
everyone thinks that the garment is
hopelessly ruined if drop of that slim
ulating beverage is spilled on it. But
with care the spot can be easily removed
from the most delicate silk or woolen
fabric, even if there is cream mixed
with the coffee.
Rub the spot gently with pure glyc-
crime, rinse in lukewarm water and
press on the wrong side until quite dry.
The glycerine absorbs both the stain
and the grease.
To remove the "shine" from a dark
wool material sponge it with a solution
of common washing blue and water and
press it, while still damp, under a thin
cloth. This is said to be very effica-
cious treatment.
The Florida agriculturist., 1909-10-01
To Clean Windows

l have found this comparatively
quick and easy way to clean windows.
With brush or whisk broom remove
all the loose dust Or sand. Take soft
cloth, moisten with kerosene and rub
over the panes of glass several times;
then with cloth which is free from
lint, rub the glass until it is bright and
the oil entirely disappears. Your win
dows will be clear and bright with only
half the work required for the ordinary
way of cleaning. The odor from the oil
disappears quickly, especially if the win
dows are left open for few minutes in
such a way as to insure a direct draft.

To Pan-Broil Steak.

It is not always convenient to use a
broiler to cook steak but it can be made
almost if not quite as good pan-broiled.
Place the frying pan over a hot fire
and grease it well, when it throws off
blue smoke lay on the steak and as
soon as brown turn over and brown the
other side. If to be rare sprinkle with
salt and pepper and lay on hot platter,
but if to be medium or we'll done turn
frequently until sufficiently cooked. In
turning always put the fork in the fat
or gristle and never in the juicy part of
the steak and never use salt while broil-
ing, as it extracts the juice while cook
ing. A steel pan is best but any kind
can be used.-J. E. G.
The Florida agriculturist., 1909-10-01
To Clean Straw Hats.

If the last years straw hat is not
broken and still retains it's shape it
may be made to do duty while longer
by being cleaned. For each hat take the
juice of two lemons; add enough sui
phur to make a thin paste. Apply with
small brush, being careful to cover
every part. Then put in the sun and
when Thoroughly dry brush off all the
sulphur and the hat will be clean and
bleached as good as new.-Mrs. Y.

How to Shrink Cloth.

In making cloth suits, or skirts of
any kind it is we'll to shrink the goods
before cutting. Leave it folded with
selvage edges meeting, but roll smoothly
in dampened sheets and lay away for
twenty four hours, or until the sheets
become dry. This saves great deal of
future trouble, and also acts as spong-
ing process, making goods of smooth
surface, proof against rain spots, as
we'll as shrinking.

To Wash Glassware.


Much of the imitation cut glassware
may be made to look almost like the
genuine article if washed in the follow
ing manner:
Make strong suds of Ivory soap and
immerse the pieces of glassware in it..
Rub vigorously with a soft brush, dip
up and down in the suds, do not dry but
drain. This will give a beautiful spar

A Preventive of Ants.

Mix equal parts of tartar emetic and
sugar, and put it on individual butter
plates or other small dishes; slightly
moisten it and put it where the ants
mostly congregate, and they will disap-
pear. If they should return after a
short interval repeat the direction and
you will have no further trouble to keep
clear of them.-Mrs. I. S. K.

The Cultivation of Ferns.

a tree stem, or in basket. Those kinds
with creeping rhizomes do best in bas-
kets, as rule, whilst those which suit
crowns and fbrous roots are most suit
able for pot culture One of the most
effective ways of growing many ferns is
on the stem of trees, palms, etc.
Although it frequently happens that
the conditions under which plants grow
spontaneously cannot be artifcially pro-
duced, the knowledge of the positions in
which they grow naturally aids materi-
ally in their successful cultivation. It
may be safely stated that the majority
OF ferns require shade and moisture.
Most gardens possess one or more spots
of this nature, under trees generally, and
In those situations ferns luXuriate if rea-
sonable care be taken in their cultiva-
tion. NJ II
Ferns grown in pots require fresh pot
ting more or less frequently according
to their rate of growth; but it is advis-
able to avoid over potting. Those plants
generally grow best whose roots are in
contact with the inside of the pots. Care
must be given to watering, as ferns re-
sent over watering as quickly as any
other plant if the soil is in any way
water-logged or sour; on the other hand,
care must also be taken that the roots
do not become too dry. In the tropics,
ferns may be repotted almost at any
time without i'll results. Pots should be
clean and dry when used, and new pots
should be thoroughly soaked in water
and then dried before using. The uues-
tion of drainage is an important one,
especially where the rainfall is heavy.
ch ho
in mind that the ajority of them grow
naturally in partly decayed vegetable
matter, usually of a soft nature; they
should therefore be made firm in their
pots, but on no account potted hard. A
compost of an open sandy nature through
which the water will pass readily should
be used; a mixture of two parts of fib-
rous material, and one part of coarse
sand will be found to suit most ferns.
Basket ferns should be planted in fib-
rous material mixed with Jumps of peat
and pieces of sandstone and charcoal.
These composts may be given as pos
sessing all the qualities required by the
majority of ferns usually cultivated in
gardens. Many of the more delicate
ferns, such as some Adiantums, resent
too much water over head. A position
under shady veranda suits these best.
It is only by experience and constant
observation that the best position can
be found for the more fastidious ferns.
Very often move of only few yards
makes all the difference between good
and bad specimen. Windy positions
should be avoided and care taken that no
manure enters into the potting compost.
An occasional application of liquid or
artificial manure is beneficial when
growth and root action are vigorous.
Pans of broken brick and coral rock
are very suitable for raising fern spores.
The pans should be kept damp, and if
moss or the minute algae which appear
on damp spots are growing on the rock,
so much the better. The fruiting fronds
should be taken before the spores are
blown away, about the time that the
sori become brown, and shaken or left
lying on the pan, which is then covered
with glass plate-Agricultural Bulle
