Seeds to EXCHANGE

Dear Household friends: 1t has been almost
a year since j wrote letter to your page. l
thought then I would write again in a short
time, but is generally the case in all our
undertakings, l found IL harder to write after
putting II off for while.
My letter before was flowers, and l con-
slider myself due Miss Thomas thanks for send
ing our paper one year for those flower let
tiers. Well, my little girl and succeeded in
roofing about 80 roses by following the drec-
lions l gave In my flower letter. So we hope

I have enough zenias for all, but the other

Flower Time

Dear Miss Thomas: Here in our beautiful
land OF flowers we are having real summer;
but my, my. how long IL was in getting here.
Since November we have been having ice and
frost and only now and then could we get
out without a heavy wrap.
Last night, however, we sat ON the veranda
without a wrap, feeling as comfortable as If
we were watching the grand race. March with
her bowling winds won in the race, driving out
February. AS we awoke this morning we felt
more than thankful for the helpful rain which
fell while we slept. Now we say goodbye
to February, for one year, and may do that
which is right in Gods sight until you come
again. listen TO the merry notes of the happy
birds l look out on the pretty hillside and
they tell me that can soon have other flow
srs than the yellow jesmine; they are very
pretty and plentiful and stay with quite
a while. still we long to see the many others
that are soon to be with us. How fragrant
the air becomes when the orange puts forth
her beautiful wax-like blossom-there is moth
ing more beautiful and sweet in Florida. Some
failed to get their fruit gathered before the
heavy cold, so those that were protected still
hold their fruit and leaves and are now be-
ing shipped, while those that were not cared
for have laid their dark green foliage and
golden fruit beneath their naked bOugh. But
where the groves are fertile how quickly they
will put on a much handsomer dress and look
as though they never felt the cold The song
bird and hillside did not speak falsely this
morning for since then 1 have been given
handful OF blue violets picked from the hillside
near me.
sincerely hope Miss Thomas will have a
good time and enjoy every moment that she
is here. II l should her I will a
Gods blessing from the banks of the broad
ST. Johns whose banks will soon be a
of wild roses as well as many other flowers,
and as she passes on I will wish her a safe
trip down the deep narrow and crooked Ock-
lawaha river. where size can stretch forth her
hand from the steamer and gather all the
roses she wishes. l do not miss reading a
single Chat and enjoy 1t so much. also the let
ters one and all. I find them very helpful:
but will the secret never come? I have lots
of time to read IL.
''Iots of time for lots of things
Though it's said that time has wings,
There is always time to find
ways Of being sweet and kind.
There Is always time to share
Smiles and goodness everywhere;
Time to send the frowns away,
Time a gentle word TO say,
Time for helpfulness, and time
To assist the weak to climb.
Time TO give a little flower
Time for friendship any hour.
Bnt there Is no time 10 spare
For unkindness anywhere"
with many good wishes to an

Southern cook book.
"sift together one quart of cornmeal one
teaspoonful of salt. make into soft dough with

cracklings: bakeNSn small popes."
! used to be very fond OF cracking bread,
but lust before Christmas l had an errand to
DO one evening. so l asked my mother TO bake
me some cracking bread for supper. When I
came in company had come from town, my
mother told me ! had every bit of that bread to
eat. II was my time to serve at the table.
but when I ate supper my mother brought in
every bit OF that cracking bread. Well. ate
little Of IL. but next morning those same
little pones Of cracking bread were at my
place. We have corn bread now with the
cracklings left out.

An Easter Carol

The world itself keeps Easter day.
Aud Easter larks are singing,
Ard Easter flowers are blooming gay,
And Easter buds are springlng.
TIE Lord Of all things lives anew,
And all His works are rising, too.
There stood three Marys by the tomb
on Easter morning early,
When day had scarcely chased the gloom,
And dew was white and pearly;
With loving but with erring mind
They came. the Prince of Life to find
But earlier still the angels sped,
His news Of comfort giving;
"And why" he said, 'among the dead
Thus seek ye for the living?
Go tell them all and make them blest;
Tell Feter first, and then the rest"
But one. and one alone. remained,
With love that could not vary;
And thus a 10Y past joy she gained,
That sometime sinner Mary,
First was she the dear form to see,
OF Him who died on Calvary.
The world itself keeps Easter day;
SENT Joseph's star is beaming;
Saint Alice has her primrose gay,
Saint Georges bells are cleaning.
The Lord has risen as all things tell.
Good Christians, see ye rise as well.

rag that you wash Towels, bed clothes, churn
cloths, children's every day slips and other
things can be left rough dry and you can rest
enough to have a smile on your face when your
husband in, otherwise you might have
the backache end q frown as an excuse for not
being pleasant. Where there are children large
enough to help do such work, be sure to put
them at It. When a mother begins with her
little children she can keep their love and re-
spect. But when she does all the work they
look on her as a piece of machinery. They may
not do II as well as she can, but they can
learn and 1t Is fine way to employ the time.

she is a nice sweet girl, there is not a better
girl in this settlement than she Is.

Most dishes requiring deep frying
are denied the dyspeptic because they are
usually fried in lard, and lard does not
"agree" The following recipe will be
welcomed by those of poor digestion:
Peel the potatoes and slice thin into
cold water Drain WELL and dry in a
towel. Fry few at a time in hot Cotto-
lene Salt as you take them out, and lay
them on coarse brown paper for short
time. Ht
The above recip. can be followed
without the least fear of disagreeable
after effects. The chips will be crisp
and dry-not greasy, as when fried in
lard. Cottolene contains no hog fat,
but is made of purest cottonseed oil; it
is recommended by physicians generally.

How much does it cost to pro-
duce milk? Don't know. This
has always been the trouble with
the dairy business. There was too
much guess work about 1T. Some
recent experiments show that It
costs about so cents per 100
pounds TO produce milk, after pay
ing for feed and labor. This is
equal to "a cents per quart
counting the feed and labor cost
of production.

No one can afford to keep a fat
dairy COW. If a COW gets fat
while in milk she uses too much OF
her feed for other purposes than
making milk of it. A COW that
has a good appetite, eats heartily
and keeps thin in flesh while Civ
ing milk is usually a good one to
keep.
