PROPER WASHING OF TOWELS
Especial treatment to Be OF
Good Service.

Towels used in the kitchen should
always be rinsed in moderately cooi
water and then washed in hot, soapy
water. They should be rinsed ano
then dried in the open air. If time Is
at premium they need not be ironed-
Probably this laxity would shock
many careful housewives, but a clean
towel, dried in the open air, is quito
as useful for drying dishes as one
that is ironed smooth.
One clever woman always saves the
coarse sacks that sugar and SAT-
come in-the big ones. She rips the
side seams and hens the ends ana
uses them for towels for pots and
pans.
A dolls clothesline, which comes
with half dozen tiny clothespins ana
two small pulleys. is convenience
for drying kitchen towels. 1t can be
fastened from the kitchen porch tn
nearby tree. and extra clothespins
can be bought for small price. The
pulleys, rope and six pins are sold
for ten cents.

WATER FOR THE DAIRY cow
vice Should Be Used During
Winter-HeIps Milk Yield.

It is very important that the water
drunk by the COWS giving three or
more gallons of milk daily be warmed
to about 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Other
wise the COWS will not drink as much
as they need to keep up good milk
flow. 1t does not take much ice water
to chill a thin-feshed dairy cow
through and through on cold winter
day, especially when she is compelled
to walk some distance through the
snow or a cutting wind to get to the
tank or pond.
Experiments made at the Missouri
station show that drinking water is
needed in proportion to the milk yield.
That is. a COW giving six gallons of
milk day needs about twice as much
water as a COW giving three gallons a
day. If the water is too cold to be
comfortable il drunk in large quaint
ties, the COW will not drink enough,
| and as a result will drop considerably
in her milk yield.
When Missouri Chief Josephine was
! giving about 100 pounds of milk each
| day last winter she drunk daily about
81 gallons of water. Imagine how she
would have suffered if that had been
ice water 1t was warmed, however
and Josephine did not chill after drink
ing.
A good tank heater, or some Other
device should be used this winter tc
warm the water for the COWS. 1t will

Stewed Apples.

In cooking apples it may not be
known generally that the more quickly
they are cooked after pairing the richer
and better they are. An apple begins
to be discolored as soon as the skin
is removed, and this discoloration con-
tinues in the cooking. AS quickly
after pairing as possible. put half
dozen apples, sliced, into pan with
two-thirds as much water as the bulk
of the apples. Cover them and let
them cook as rapidly as possible.
Watch them closely to prevent burn
ing. and just as they are falling TO
pieces put into them two-thirds OF a
cup of sugar, stirring it quickly. They
are delicious also served cold.

FARM FACTS AND THEORIES
Lamb Creep May Be Conveniently
Constructed i'm Cattle Hurdle
Method of Drying of Cow.
CBy W. r. GILBERT.l

p"
THE LAMB CREEP is an invaluable
institution. 1t may be conveniently
constructed in cattle hurdle with
rollers at the side so that the frisky
lamb does not hurt itself during in
gress and egress.
THE BEST method Of drying off 4
cow is to feed her on dry food, and
reduce the milking periods to once
daily Smearing the udder with tar is
an old-fashioned method. Others used
to bleed the COW, and give dose of
one pound EPSON salts.
Fortunately nature herself most
frequently determines the length of
the milk of the milking period. A
COW begins to go stale, and good
farmers do not consider it profitable
to have cows that breed regularly
more than ten months in lastation.
WHEN the cow is frisky with the
tail at milking it is good plan to
tie it to the leg. Modern hygiene has
no faith in a whisked tail during milk
ing. 1t disturbs the loose hairs, and
shakes the dust off the coat into the
milk pail.
ACCORDING to Wolff, the food
standard for mich COWS Of 1,00C
pounds live weight is "a pounds dry
matter. of which 2:5 pounds is pro
tein, 1875 pounds carbohydrates, and
! four per cent. fat This is equal tc
an albuminoid ratio of 1888.

PASSENGER
NEAR WRECK
Train No. 36 Had a Very
Narrow Escape Sunday
Morning.
ENGINE STRUCK BOULDER
Fast Passenger Train Was Round
ing a Curve Over the Brink of
the French Broad River When
the Engine Struck a Huge
Stone Which Had Rolled Onto
the Track, and the Pilot of the
Engine Was Broken.

Passenger train No. 36, which is due
in Newport at 3:39 a. M, ran into a
huge rock on the curve between Bridge
port and Del Rio, Sunday morning,
and the pilot of the big Engine was
torn off, as was the trucks. The engine
dropped to the ground and although
the train was brought to sudden stop,
no reports of injuries to any Of the pas
sengers has been made.
The accident came very near to being
a serious one, and had not the engine
stuck up in the ground when in did,
the whole train would most likely
have been hurled down the embank-
ment and into the French Broad river.
The accident occurred near the Yves
Myers place, and the tracks run al
most over the river at that point.
The accident tied up traffic for six
hours. No. SO borrowed the engine of
train No. Y, and was able to proceed
after the big boulder had been removed
from the track. Train NO. 101 from
Ashevllle was held up for three hours
and The Carolina Special was held up
on the the Newport side, equally as
long.
