A Camphorated Bath.

Nothing is SO invigorating when
tired and warm as a scented bath Of
hot water In warm weather it proves
particularly refreshing when taken
before dressing for the evening.
The simplest of these baths is made
by adding cologne, toilet water, or
violet ammonia into a quarter of
tubful of water.
A good aromatic mixture to keen
on hand is made from two ounces of
tincture of camphor, four ounces of
cologne and an ounce of tincture of
benzoin. Add enough of this to the
bath water to make it milky.
If you are presented with colognes
or toilet waters that are not especially
fragrant, use them in the bath. The
scent is SO faint as not to be disagree
able, and the refreshing qualities are
as great as from more expensive col
ognes.
Another refreshing bath is f.-adeA
by squeezing the filtered Juice of fouV
lemons into quarter Of tubful of
water.
Where the aromatic bath seems eX-
travagant, or there is no time for it,
put a solution of the mixture given
above into a spray and spray it over
face, neck and arms.-New York

Method of Treating Seed Grain.

The method of treating the seed
grain is very simple, so simple in fact,
that there is no reason why it should
not be universally employed A pint
OF formaldehyde, which costs about
fifty cents, is poured into a barrel con-
tanning some forty gallons of water
The oat seeds, which are placed in
gunny sacks, are let down into this
barrel and allowed to soak in the
diluted chemical solution for some
minutes. They are then taken out
and dried, after which they are ready
for sowing without any further treat
ment. Thus the cost to the farmer
is scarcely more than a cent a bushel;
which tr certainly very little when
compared with the destructiveness of
the blight and the great loss which it
entails. Weekly Witness.

The best vegetable for feeding hens
is cabbage, for it is succulent and
contains the largest amount of ash
and protein of all vegetables.
We hang them up just so the hens
can pick them clean to the stump.
The greatest difficulty is in keeping
cabbsges in good condition through
the winter. Few methods have been
successful with us. We have tried
piling in the barn and covering with
hay. but they sweat 50 easily that rot
soon begins. Burying in a trench in
the garden was only partially a sue
cess. A cool cellar with the cabbage
en- shelves or hung from the joist has
given us the best results. The late
fiat Dutch gives the most feed and re-
quires the least work to raise.-M

Work Horses and Their Feed.

Bulletin 109 of the Iowa Station
says that it has been found that oats
are too expensive to feed in large
quantities, and that the ration may
be greatly cheapened by substituting
oil meal. cotton seed meal. or gluten
feed. The health, spirit and endur-
ance of the horses was the same when
fed corn in combination with one of
these feeds as when oats were fed
These experiments show that oil meal
may be worth as ruch as $50 ten
for horse feeding. and cottonseed
meal little more The horses did
a hard summers work on these feeds
without any considerable loss in flesh
These experiments are of great value
to farmers everywhere. as the ques-
ton of feeding the woik horses cheap
ly. and at the same time in such
way as to keep them in good flesh, is
an important one.

Scented Sheets.

1t is said that lavender scented
sheets induce slumber. Whether that
is true or not, it is certain that to lie
down in bed after lovely refreshing
bath in sheets that have a delicate
scent of lavender about them is most
refreshing and luxurious. 1t does not
cost much to have this luxury and it is
within the possibility of almost every
housekeeper to have in her linen
closet several little finely cut pack
ages of dried lavender leaves. These
can be bought upon the street almost
any time. Put the little packages be-
tween the sheets, pillowcases, towels
and wash clothes. You will find that
the odor will last for a long time and
will be enjoyed by all who use your
linen, the odor is so 6eliciously clear.
