Hattie's helpful Hints.

Rub the spoons with salt after dip
ping them first in water to remove
egg stains.
To drive slender, steel nails into
hard wood without bending rub them
with common yellow bar saop.
Tar stains may be removed by lard.
Rub the spots with it, leave for day
or two then wash in the usual way in
warm suds.
To clean guilt mouldings first wipe
off all loose dirt, then go over them
with the beaten white of an egg to
which one teaspoonful of baking soda
has been added. Apply with a brush
or a soft cloth.
JOVELLE WATER.
This is the solution used by Chinese
Iaunderies for removing stains and
whitening clothes. Boil together five
minutes one gallon of water, four
punds washing soda, one pound soda.
Have water hot before mixing. Pour
it over two pounds unslaked lime let
it bubble and foam until 1t settles.
Pour it off and bottle for use. For
each three gallons of suds use one
tablespoon and one half cup in the
boiler. 1t does not rot the clothes
but to be white they must be thor
oughly rinsed. Colored clothes should
not lie long in the water wash quickly
and rinse.

Peter TumbIedoWn.
By A Neighbor

There is a man named Tum bledown,
Whose farm is somewhere round;
There's a house, barn and stable
With the weather boards off the gable.
And the barn is on the lean,
While in the roof great gaps are seen.
His fence he ne 'er takes time to make,
Nor even sets post or stake.
His neighbors, they look dark and
frown
At the ways of Peter Tumbledown.
His stable windows have no lights,
He keeps his horses "poor as kites. /"
His COWS stand shivering in the cold,
His sheep also without fold,
And to the creek for water go
Through the winters sleet and snow.
His chickens have their roosts in trees,
Where every night they almost freeze ;
And as for eggs they're seldom found
Save lying frozen on the ground.
His mower stands out all the year,
Until it's rotten and "out Of gear. "
His plows, his hay-rake and his har-
rows
Serve as roosting place for sparrows.
His forks and shovels-which are few,
Are red with rust, and broken, too.
Farm wagon broken, the axels worn,
The carriage top Is badly torn.
His harness Is minus buckles, rings,
And in their stead he uses strings.
And whene' er he drives in town
The boys halloo "Here's Tumble
down 70
His corn he very seldom plows;
He has no pasture for his COWS.
His patient wife, also his daughter
Must daily drive the COWS to water,
While Peter sits and takes his ease,
With his elbows on his knees. 14 -.-s
He never splits the kindling wood
For the cook stove, as be should.
Hay to his horses he rarely feeds,
Since his farm abounds in weeds.
One day he said to his wife, MARY,
I've thought of something that beats
our dairy!
You know we have a goodly yield
OF big milkweeds in every field,
Well send their milk into the town,
And cut out milking" said Tumble
down.

How to Keep the Boys on the
Farm.

The following article was taken
from the Jefferson County Union
wisconsin, edited by Hoard & Sons
of Hoard's Dairyman, and as it
touches upon one of the most i'm
portant questions uppermost in the
mind Of the thinking farmer and his
wife we feel that it should have a
place in our Home Department:
Boys are full of hope and ambition.
Ii the old farm does not give them
any scope for the exercise of that
spirit, if the father cares for nothing
beyond laying up another sordid
dollar, the boys are going to get out
into the world even if they do make
plumbers and mistakes. One great
trouble often is that the farm home
has nothing in it that is in sympathy
with the outside world. The boy
goes to the county fair and sees the
machinery and the fine cattle, sheep
and swine and comes home ashamed
of what is on the farm. Like enough
he asks ''Father, why don't we have
some Of these better things?'
Now If the father is in debt and
cannot get these things yet awhile,
that is reasonable answer to the boy
and he will work to help clear the
debt. But suppose he knows that
father can afford these improvements,
if he will. What then?
The other day at the county fair,
we fell in with that sterling old farmer
and Holstein breeder, William Wright,
of Waupaun He was telling group
of men how he came to get such a fine
herd of cattle, for, be it remembered,
he has won three twenty four dollar
prizes offered by Hoard's Dairyman
in the Wisconsin Cow Competition.
There is quality in that herd, for
he made 16 COWS earn over So, 600 last
year at the creamery. Mr.: Wright
said he first commenced grading up
his herd by the purchase Of the finest
registered bull he could find. Then
he went into the breeding of register
ed cattle to keep his boys on the farm,
and it did it He says his boys have
very largely made the herd what it is.
Set such an object as that before a
boy and he must be chump and a
misfit if he Will not respond heartily.
There ought to be more men like
Mr.. Wright to save our ssgood, bright

PRESIDENT DAY IN SALT LAKE

President Taft day in Salt Lake
yesterday was one OF bright skies.
! pleasant air. and everything in ma.
tnre combined to make ii ms agreeable
as possible. The people were glad TO
! see the President, and turned out in
throngs 10 get glimpse Of him. The
! programme was carried out in due or
| der and in excellent form, every event
taking its proper turn and occupy
ing that portion of the day allotted
TO it.
President Taft g activities during
the day were remarkable, especially
after so long n journey as he has had,
occupied as it has been with speech
making. banqucts. hand .shakings, and
political conferences and plans.
President Taft is favoritc in Utah,
even though the Congressional dclegas
tiou here steadily ranges itself i'll op-
position to his policies. II is. in fact.
a curious situation. All are wing in
their efforts TO show appreciation Of
President Taft, friendship toward him,
and TO assure their support of him as
the Republican Presidential candidate
next year. And yet. in all Of his dis
tinctive policies the State, through its
delegation in both houses Of Congress,
sets itself squarely in opposition to
him. It is "A situation that is illog
ical and quite impossible Of continu-
ance; either Utah must support Pres
ident Taft or it must oppose him. SO
far as its delegation in Congress can
do, II has been in absolute opposition
to him right along.
It does not meet the case to say that
we will support him for President as
long as we oppose those things which
he wants to do; for the two ideas do
not consist. The action Of Utah through
her Congressional delegation is op.
posed TO President Taft How, then,
consistently and logically. can the
State support him for office, and to
what purpose shall it support him if it
is going to oppose all Of bis distinctive
poIicies7
1t is time that Utah walked up, and
either called its Congressional delcga-
tion to account or else abandoned the
hollow pretcpse OF being in support of
President Taft,
