TO CUT OUT DRUDGERY
sIMPLIFIED HOUSEKEEPING WILL
TIGHTEN THE WORK.
Solution Of Domestic Service Problem
Lies in Retrenehing Requirements
to the Limit Of Our Sim
pIest Needs.

We all Of us know that the solution
to the great domestic service problem
lies through the straight road of sim
obligation. When we retrench our
requirements according to the limit OF
, our simplest needs we shall begin TO
see a solution to much that perplexes
US in the present aspect OF Things.
Abolish the dozen superfuous dishes
and depend upon the essential one,
and one point of domestic service is
lightened so per cent. 1t is half
days work to wash the dishes after a
pretentious modern dinner. Too many
courses, too many fancy pieces, too
much style has made of what should
be an off-hand "chore," an ordeal OF
skilled labor Dinners used to taste
better in the old days when every
thing was served in one course and
there were no dainty bread and but
ter bric-a- brac, bone plates and indi-
vidual pieces for everything served,
than it does now when too much style
hampers the fun and crazes the serv-
ing maid. Throw out the non-essen-
tials everywhere and retain only es-
sentials. Tighten the work and make
household duties what they ought to
be. an easy task rather than an un-
ending drudgery.
do not mean to be understood
even as saying that pretty things are
non-essential. The more attractive
one makes life the easier it runs, but
prettiness and pretension are two diff
ferent things. l can make my table

company lunch OF creamy biscuits and
| honey and foamy milk, with bit OF
| fruit and a toss-up feathery cake or
cream and have fewer dishes for the
maid to wash and fewer bills for my
self to pay, than the harrassed hostess
does who employs a caterer and uses
dozen plates and spoons and glasses
where one-quarter the number would
suffice.
What rich woman is going to start
this business of simplifying? 1t needs
some one with wealth and prominent
social standing to pioneer the good
work. Somebody told me not long
ago of a wealthy leader in society
who kept up a distinct establishment
for her servants. She gave them a
parlor. a piano and library. There
is good place to begin to simplify.
Go back to the old-fashioned methods
of servant hire and give some of the
rest of us who have to work hard TO
keep ''parlor" and a piano for our
selves chance 10 keep help. Sim
plify all along the line. from the
kitchen 10 the great chamber, and

PUMP WATER FOR IRRIGATION
Implement Should Be Judged by To-
Ia Efficiency and Relation Of Wa
ter Discharged to Fuel Used.

A pump is not TO be judged by the
amount of water it discharges, but
by the total efficiency and the rela-
ton of the water discharged TO the
amount Of fuel consumed. The run
ners Of centrifugal pumps can be
bent very little. causing the pump
to discharge very much increased
volume, and yet it will not be pay
ing proposition as compared with a
smaller discharge that requires less
power
II is very important to deal with a
responsible firm, one able and willing
to make good when a pump fails to
perform the work 1t has been esti-
mated to DO. SO many factors enter
into the case that pumps will not give
the same satisfaction often in cases
where circumstances seem almost eN-
actly alike. A good firm will. il they
make 4 mistake in furnishing a type
Of pipe unsuited to the work, make
good the mistake.
While on this subject OF efficiency
II may be mentioned that windmills
will not do the same work where the
average velocity of the wind current
is unsuited to them, and 1t is very i'm
portant to discover what the average
velocity is before establishing an
unsuitable type.
Some railroads are installing wind
gauges, and from these an approx
nation can be made.

In deciding upon deeper plow-

not persist in exhausting this
lower acre of its fertility and
consequently leaving US event"

decide to begin restoring fertility

growing green manuring crops.
The blowing under of the green
crops offers advantages from the
standpoint of economical and et-
fectiye maturing which we IN

continued application OF. green
manuring crops with barnyard
manure has restored the soil to a
good degree of fertility in g to
10 years.
It is folly to become scared re-
garding the fertility condition
of Kansas farms, generally speak
ing. We note a persistent ten
deucy to less and less acre yield
and draw the conclusion that our
fields are worn out and throw up
our hands and ask what in the

of this we have farmed only the

At an institute recently much
interest was manifested in the
subject of commercial fertilizers.
There are conditions of soil nm.
der which the commercial ferti-
lizer is essential for. the imtaedi.
ate improvement and upbuilding
of the soil to profitable crop pro-
ductiou. This because the soil
at once needs i. powerful stimu-
liant and because baruyard ma
nure in the necessary quantity Is
not available. The tendency Of
the Kansas farmer, when he once
realizes that fertilization of the
soil is necessary, is to plunge in.
to the use of abundant quantity
of fertilizers. not stopping to con.
slider the actual existing needs or
the expense of accomplishing his
purpose, says Kansas Farmer:
Barnyard manure supplies to
the soil all that commercial fert:.
lizers can add. with other ele-
ments that commercial fertilizers
cannot supply. Manure. adds
bacteria to the soil which bac.
terra are essential in forming
food for the plant from the hu.
mus present. Commercial ferti.
lizers do not increase the bacteria
| in the soil. Manure adds humus.
forming elements to the soil.
Commercial fertilizers do, not.
Manure, BY virtue of it's adding
humus, increasing the water
holding capacity of the soil.
Commercial fertilizers do not.
