LITTLE HELPS FOR THE FARM
ER'S WIFE.

Soak vessels in cold water rather
than hot to remove dough or any sub
stance that may adhere to cooking
utensils.
Care should be taken to thoroughly
air clothing after the weekly washing
and ironing. Many cases of cold and
rheumatism have been contracted by
wearing damp clothing or sleeping IN
imperfectly aired sheets
To fry bacon, lay thin slices in a
cold frying pan and heat gradually.

If eggs are served with fried ba-
con have the grease piping hot when

FLYING FISH OF CALIFORNIA.

Along the coast of Southern all
fOrnia there are almost innumerable
numbers of flying fish. Especially is
this the case around the Catalina
Islands. which lie about 80 miles off
shore.
In point Of size these fish range
from 6 to Is inches. They skim
along the surface Of the sea- and, at
brief intervals rise, above the waters
and indulge in short flishtsAthrough
the air. In length and height these
flights vary, much depending upon
the state of the weather, the wind
and the size of the waves Sometimes
they will fly from 5 to 10 feet above
the surface.
With the wing-like fins they throw
themselves swiftly W and up
ward, and then lar ahead, sustaining
and propelling their course through
the air. All this is done with great
r%apidity; then the creature suddenly
drops back into the water An in
| slant later it is ready for another
! flight. These brief excursions in the
air are generally made just ahead of
vessels and along the sides as they
advance through the sea. Sometimes
there are great schools Of these crea-
lures rising. darling ahead. follow
ing n falling and rising again just
like a flock of birds.
It is a very curious and interesting
spectacle to watch these schools OF
| fish from the deck of q vessel.
They are more frequently seen
| early in the morning than during any
ether time.
It often happens that these fish
drop on the deck OF the vessels and
are captured. The flying fish are
not deemed edible. NJ. Baltimore.

PICKED UP IN THE POULTRY
YARD.

Eggs during the hot weather should
be remoyed from the nests at once
and placed in the coolest place in the
house.
Care should be taken at all times
never to permit moisture to come in
contact with the eggs.
Small and cracked eggs should be
carefully separated before the market
basket goes to town. The rejected
ones. when perfectly fresh. a be
used to better advantage in the home
for cooking.

youngsters.
O~ver-crOWding should be avoided
and extra coops and roosting places
should be provided before the young

The second is to return to the soil

other factors in the formation of soils
are introduced. The roots secrete an
aCid substance that has q solvent
effect on the mineral matter Of the
soil. and the roots themselves also
assist mechanically in breaking down
the rocks.
All are familiar with the tremen-
GouS force exerted by plants in
breaking apar rocks and stones if
~ their tender rootlets obtain a
loothold in a creVice.
The roots penetrate the soil some
times to great depths, and, as they
decay after the death of the plant,
they leave little channels in the soil
which serve to carry down water
laden with carbOnic acid, as we'll as

you will find little nodules or uber-
cies on their roots. These nodules
are the homes of numerous bacteria,
which enable the plants TO derive
part of their God from the nitrogen
OF the atmosphere.
This peculiar property Of legumi-
nous plants is of great Importance
for it is undoubtedly natures prin-
clpal method Of increasing the sup
ply of nitrogen in the ground.
The nitrOfbn compounds
lated by these plants eventually be-
come a part of the soil through theil
decay. thus adding to its fertility.
