WORTH KEEPING IN MEMORY
Handed Down Through Genera tlons of Housewives.

When making sweet croquettes add ! little sugar to the crumbs in which the croquettes are to be rolled.
 Cold water is preferable to warm for scrubbing doors because it does not sink into the wood and so dries quickly.
 Holding tomatoes over the gas hame will cause skin to burst and come off easier than when scalded, and the tomato will be less mushy than when scalded.
 Neglected brass may be polished with paste of powdered bath brick and oil. Take two pieces of the brick and rub together. This makes a finer powder than if scraped with knife.
 Cut hams may be kept from mold Ing if the cut end is wet with vinegar each time after cutting. Vinegar will also keep beef fresh for a time when you happen to be without ice tempo rarily.
 To frost over a window without Hardening the room, dissolve Epson salts in hot water and paint over the window while the water is hot, then allow to dry. This is easily removed and Is entirely opaque while on.
 Fringed cloths are often quite ruin ed in appearance at the laundry. They may be made to look like new for an Indefinite period if, when they are starched, little care be taken not to starch the fringe. Fold each cloth in four like a handkerchief and then gather the fringe of each part into the hand and hold it firmly while you dip the middle only into the starch. When the cloth is dry shake the fringe well and comb 1t with a specially kept toilet comb, and it will fall as softly and prettily as when new.

PETERS KNEW WHEN TO LEAVE
SuburbanIte Pays Evening Visit to NeIghbor, But Takes Alarm
 Clock Along as Reminder.

The Smiths were strangers in a cer tain Jersey suburb and soon after their arrival Peters, who had some business acquaintance with Smith and liked him, took Mrs. Peters to the Smith home to call, says the New York Evening Sun. They found the Smiths thoroughly delightful and spent a pleasant evening. Time passed rap idly and when Peters reached home he was mortified to discover that it must have been after midnight when he left the Smith home.
 Not long afterward the Smiths call- ed at the Peters home and Peters hoped they, too, would stay until mid night to vindicate him, but they went home about 10:30 o'clock. Then MT. and Mrs. Peters went again to the Smiths, and, as before, had a lovely time. In the midst of a pleasant con- Versation the ringing of an alarm clock made every one look up. Mrs. Smith seemed embarrassed, but Peters was calm. The alarm was one of the inter- mittent kind, and after the first blast every one settled down comfortably, only to have the ringing renewed al- most at once.
 q am afraid some of the children must be playing with the alarm clock" said Mrs. Smith as she arose to go and stop the racket.
 Mot at all, Mrs. Smith," said Peters. T brought our alarm clock along in my hat with the alarm set for 10:30 o'clock, so we would have sense enough to go home. I guess it's time for us to say good night"

CBy OSCAR ERF)
 Pure-bred animals are those that produce their form, habits or other distinctive qualities with uniformity. In order that we may get offsprings like the parent and like each other we must have animals whose ancestors for many generations back have been of ono type. The more generations of such uniformity, the more certain it will be that the young will possess similar quality.
 The wild animals of any one kind or species in one locality have been of similar type for many generations and may be considered as pure-bred. By the law of natural selection, indi- viduals not suited to live in that par ticular locality have been weeded out.
 When animals are domesticated, and moved to other climates, and are fed different foods, only such indi- viduaIs will live and produce young as are suited to the new conditions. But Another factor changes domestic animals more rapidly. Men breed only such specimens as please their fancy; and this artificial selection replaces natural selection. During the many centuries of domestication the chick ems of different parts of the world have developed into different types. When these radically different types are brought together and crossed we have produced young that are very different from the parents and from each other. Nor can these young be depended upon to reproduce offspring like themselves. They are said to be cross-bred, or, if the mixing be for several generations, they are known as mongrels. By selecting from cross bred or mongreI stock such chickens as are desired, and breeding these to- gether for many generations, new breeds may be established.
 One strain of chickens may be se- lected for uniform color of feathers, another for a certain size and shape, another for laying large eggs of a cer- tain color, and yet another strain for being producers of many eggs. Each of these strains might be well-bred in these peculiar traits, but would be mongrels when the other considera- tions were taken into account. Breed CTS of pure-bred stock, in making their selection of breeding animals, try to consider the desirable qualities In due order of their relative i'm portance. Thus, with trotting horses speed is given prominence above everything else, while in the case of swine or beef cattle attention has been given to the qualities of growth and fattening that make for the profitable

 ceIIent Qualities.

production of meat. Only such uni formity of color and minor points are demanded as will serve to distinguish the breed and give uniformity of ap pearance. The standards adopted by breeders of this class of animals give relatively small consideration to fancy points, whereas poultry breeders con, slider about one-half of the value oi their birds to depend on color of feathers alone, while the judgment of shape is based upon the outline produced by the feathers and not OF the true body shape. The standard bred poultry fanciers have not been mainly concerned in producing breeds of chickens for the use of the farmer or practical grower, as have been the breeders of cattle and swine. Men who pursue animal breeding for pleas ure alone do not choose large, slow breeding animals, such as cattle; neither do animals wholly worthless from other standpoints receive much attention from breeders. But the hen variable in form and color, inexpen sive to secure, readily reared and capable of producing in brief time large numbers of offspring, and yet withal capable of paying her way in food products, has rendered possible the development of the fancy or stan dard-bred chicken business into the most universal and important fancy or artistic-breeding business in the world
 From the attention that has beer given to the breeding of poultry foI the show room, many people wrongly infer that standardized poultry is nc better than mongreI stock for com merciaI purposes.
 The mongrel chicken is production of chance. Its ancestry represents everything available in the barnyards of the neighborhood, and its offspring will be equally varied. In the pure breeds there has been a rigid selection practiced that gives uniform appear ance.
 The size and shape requirements oi the standard, although not based on the market demands, comes much nearer producing an ideal carcass than does chance breeding. Ability to ma ture for the fall and winter shows is decidedly practical quality that the fancier breeds into his chickens Moreover, poultry breeders, while still keeping standard points in mind, have also made improvements in the laying and meat-producing qualities of their chickens. Considering these facts, il is an enormous idea to think that mongrel chickens offer any advantage over Dure-hred stock for meat Or fOI eggs.

RAISING CROPS
 FOR THE SILO
Ground Should be Selected OF Which to Grow the Largest Pos ss3bIe Yield of
 Corn.

Now is the time to make arrange ments for the silo. Ground should be selected on which to grow the largest possible yield of corn, and as convent ently located as possible, for it costs money to haul green corn long dis tances.
 If the old alfalfa sod was plowed last fall for planting to corn this spring, so much the better; if not blow as early as possible this spring. and blow deeply, using a dressing of well routed manure to blow under if it can be had Corn is a crude feeder and will give good account of any fertilizer you may have.
 It is not too much to expect twelve to fifteen tons of green corn per acre at harvesting time, so the silo can be built to accommodate the area of corn grownl but be sure and build large enough; for when once used it will grow in favor, and the chances are the area of corn planted and the number of animals fed will be in- creased when the practise Is once es' tablished

MANY MISTAKES
 MADE AT START
Those About to Begin Wath Poultry Should be Advised to Begin With Good
 Stock or Eggs.

How often have you stopped to think how much better off you would have been and how much time you would have saved had you started In with a pair or a trio of good breeders instead of the flock of cull chickens which you purchased and which even the most experienced poul- tryman would have found difficult in handling?
 How often have you thought about advising those about to start in with chickens to put their money in good stock or eggs at the outset instead of fretting with worthless stock for two or three seasons before realizing their mistake?
 How often have you given this ad- vice to a deaf ear, become provided and then got in a good humor again when you thought of the fool you had been and of the time you had in making up your mind to the neces- sity of starting in all over again, aft er devoting a couple of years to a flock that no one could have made to pay for it's feed?
 When We look back upon the many mistakes we made in getting a start we wonder how we managed to stay with it. It is then we realize why it Is so many go in for chickens and Iail, and begin to wonder how 1t hap pens that more did not give up at he outset.

Kitchen Line.

A convenient clothesline for the Kitchen or other place where clothes drying line is sometimes needed, is rolled into an oxidized copper reel case about five inches in diameter. This reel screws to a wall or casing and a hook is put up in a casing on another wall. When the line is want ed it is stretched across the space between the two and is fastened by a ring over the hook, the reel mean while catching it automatically and keeping it from slipping. When the line is not in use it is out of the dust tn the reel casing. The line is 24 feet long. It would be a convenience for the kitchen veranda or porch of the summer cottage.

Sit While Ironing.

There is an old-fashioned prejudice against sitting down while ironing. Our grandmothers would probably have condemned the woman caught in this practice as hopelessly lazy-but why not do so, especially when stand Ing at the ironing-board means tired, blistered feet and a frazzled temper? It might not be practicable to sit while Ironing a dress skirt or anything re uuiring a long reach of the arm, but handkerchiefs and such small pieces can easily be managed while sitting.

Grounds for Divorce.

A Cleveland lawyer overworks the telephone to tell us this one:
 "A woman came up to my office the other day and wanted to know if she could get a divorce because her hus- band didn't believe in the Bible. told her that unless she had something else on him there would be no use in bringing suit.
 "'But he is an absolute infdel!' she Insisted.
 "'That makes no difference,' said I.
 "Doesn't it, indeed?' she cried, tri- 1mphantly. Well, you are a fine law yer, must say. Here's the laws of Ohio, and they say that infidelity. if proved, is a ground for divorce?'"

"A COUNTRY READER. l"

The working housekeeper's hands have many injurious influences to en- counter, but the very worst of them is he constant immersion in water which dishwashing and other cleaning Hp involve. Rapid changes from hot b cold water, and the reverse, are very hard on the hands, the changes pf temperature making the nails brit u0 and scoring them with the ridges 70 often seen on much-used hands. The texture of the skin is also coars- Gned, while the soaps used in all forms of housework, being full of al- kAh. may so attack the delicate flesh about the nails as to loosen them. So . proper care of the nails certainly means a proper care of all the hands, and 1t is easy enough to protect them when doing some forms of coarse work. There are heavy white cotton Hloves for sweeping and dusting which Dogt only ten cents pair. Before put hng these on, the palms and nails should be greased with olive oil or VHseline, either unguent rubbed well Into the skin and all about the nail scarf. The gloves should also be regu- AFly washed, for when they are Trimed with dirt they are certainly Eseless for beautifying purposes.
 With these gloves and mop, dishes and cooking utensils may be washed without injury to the hands, or, if preferred, rubber gloves could be used for the dishwashing.
 The first care of hands injured with homework begins with the cleansing bath. with soft water barely more than tepid, and the soap of 8 very good sort. If the water used is hard soften it with teaspoonful of borax, and before using the soap shave it up and boil it down to a jelly. Get cake of good old castillo for the pur- pose, and after the soap is dissolved pour in about half a cup of benzoin, stirring it well into the jelly. Begin the bath by wetting the hands, and Ehen rub the jelly on them, working the hands together in the usual way lS when using soap. Wash of in one water and then rinse in another of the Bame temperature, drying the hands At once on clean, soft towel.
 Such a hand bath should be taken every night before going to bed, and when the hands are dry some unguent must be rubbed at once over and about the nails-either olive oil or vas- cline, as hitherto stated.
 As numerous baths, even with the best soap and softest water, are not always good for sensitive nails and delicate skin, it is wise to clean the hands several times during the day with olive oil or palm oil; if the hands are well rubbed with either of these, then dusted with talcum powder, and wiped of with a coarse and yet soft towel, the soil will be entirely re- moved. Coarsened nails are much i'm proved, too, by the wearing of loose old white kid gloves, both during the day and at night, while the regular gloves worn should also be fairly loose and of a soft leather such as chamois Or doe kin.
