This year business began with
little rush. The season was back

when the sun came out and stayed out
long enough for people to take pic
lures, why then the amateurs took the
field and the films began to come in
about as fast as you could count 'em.
1T is not uncommon for us to take
in here on Monday after fair Sun
day from 500 to 800 films for develop

To Avoid Onion Odor,

Before beginning to fry onions or
boil cabbage, ETC., see that the top
of the kitchen window is open and
also draw back the grating above the
stove. Even if this is only open few
inches the smell from whatever is be-
ing cooked will have a means of es-
cape, instead of filling the kitchen
and penetrating to other parts of the
house.
1t is good plan to have some cedar
wood dust at hand to use on such &C.
casions A little scattered over the
hot stove gives off a pleasant odor,
which will entirely prevent the smells
from being noticeable.

ONE CUNNING. OLD RODENT
successfully Plans TO Get the Cheese
Without Being Caught in
the Trap.

Not long ago it became problem
IN Brooklyn hotel how to keep down
the population of rats, which had be-
come Sc, bold that they stole from un-
der the very noses of the cooks. Traps
and po1sons were successful at first,
but after few deaths the wary rats
avoided both. The ratcatcher was
then called in. and cats, dogs and fer
rets had their turn. but still the rats
increased.
The steward bagged a few with a
small rifle, but the rats soon grew too
cautious for him. About all he could
see was the tip of tail or two bright
eyes that disappeared as soon as he
raised his gun. Then he hit upon an
other idea. He swung lid on a bar
rel with swivel, filled the barrel half
full of water, and fastened a lump of
cheese in the cepter of the lid. AS
soon as rat alighted on either side
of the lid, over he would go into the
barrel, and for a while rats were
drowned by the dozen.
1t was at this juncture that the
rodents evidently held a council, for
the number of victims grew steadily
smaller. Sometimes in the morning
there would be two or three rats in
the barrel, oftener there were none at
all. The observant steward felt that
they were all the time trying to fig
ure out how to get that cheese. Some
times two Oats would get on the edge
OF the barrel, opposite one another, at
the same time, and balance the lid as
they crept toward the center. This
worked well until one or the other
forgot the need for caution, when both
fell in
Finally one old rat mastered the
game. For several nights the cheese
disappeared, and there was no rat
there in the morning to show for it.
One night the steward caught the rat
in the act of dropping from pipes
right in the center of the lid. He bal
anced himself for a moment, then
quietly nibbled at the cheese. When
he had satisfied his hunger he care
fully moved off along the line of the
swivel and dropped to the floor. safe.
At this point the steward acknowl-
edged defeat. He declared that the
man who was smart enough to defeat
those rats was smart enough to do
anything

Hints for the Cook.

A simple way of preventing the
burning Of food is to keep a bowl of
water in the oven. Change the water
daily.
Saucepans should be thoroughly
dried before they are put away after
being used. Water left in them causes
rust, which gradually eats through
the metal. $50
The quickest method to remove
flour after making puddings or, cakes
is to wash them In clear cold water.
Warm water hardens the -four and

this means the horrible wrinkles,
which invariably appear, are hidden.

Every farmer knows that sheep will
make better gains in flesh on a dry
clover hay ration, with the same
amount of grain, than any other kind
of farm live stock. The reason for this
is that sheep consume larger portion
of the leaves of the clover hay and not
so much of the coarse, woody stalk.
The best investment any farmer can
make with his surplus money is in i'm
proving his farm. When some farm
ers get ahead and have spare money
they either buy more land er begin
to lend money for the interest it will
draw. These are not unwise things to
do, but they are not the best Things
to do with money.
Dairying has the advantage in that
it enables the farmer to utilize the
labor of his family, the forage and
grain grown on the farm, and to make
the most possible out of small farm.
It may be said further that it brings
steady income every week with
which to pay running expenses, this

The discovery was made entirely BY.

Murphy had visited a cotton patch
near Durant and secured several wee
vii which were about to hatch. They
were taken to his office for observa-
ton under a magnif1ying glass to de-
ltermine what effect. If any. the recent
hot weather had had upon them. They
were placed upon newspaper and
left upon a table while Murphy went
to dinner.

to DIR. Knapp. head Of the bureau Of
plant life industry. under whose direc-
ton Murphy is now working. Murphy
Is confident that he has found in them
an insect which will destroy the boil
weevil without injuring the crop, and
he intends to colonize as many ants as
possible in q cotton field near Durant

forts he has asked that government
