Ebony Brushes.

1t is good plan to rub vaseline in
to the backs of ebony hair brushes
before washing them, so that the soda
will not affect the ebony. Then, when
dry, little olive oil, applied with a
soft rag and rubbed in with a. clean
cloth, will give as much polish as is
required, as ebony should not be very
highly polished at any time. For stiff
fening the bristles wash the brushes
in very hot water and soda, or am
monia, rinse them in the same tenn
perature and then plunge them into
quite cold water. After this treat
ment it will be found that when dry
the bristles are quite stiff Avoid i'm.

better yet, pastry table, with -four

torded and as are required should be
purchased and find their place on the
lower shelf. Above these may be
placed small jars for raisins, spices,
etc., and all the ingredients needed for
baking. The other shelves may hold
mixing bowls, cups and the like, and
at the side of the shelves should be
screwed brass hooks to hold egg beat

complete and ready for use, and will
leave no longings for more elaborate

the glass jars, fruit jars and jelly
glasses may be used to hold the gro
cerles. The little glass jars in whic \
SUCK candy is sold, those used for pat

poses, may all be utilized, as they
accumulate in the house and serve
the purpose admirably. The whole

IMPORTANCE OF Draining CLAY LANDS
(By A. r. WHITSON.)

(By A. r. WHITSON.)
The drainage of heavy clay lands
deserves much attention, for the yield
of crops obtained on such soils is very
largely proportional to the degree of
drainage. This soil, being naturally
retentive of moisture, puddles very
easily if worked when wet, thus pre-
venting the entrance of air into the
ground. The excess Of water also pre-
vents the soil from warming up early
in the spring. and thus retards the
planting of seed and :ts termination
after being planted. The bacteria and
other organisms which prepare the
nitrogen Of the soil for the use Of the
higher plants cannot do their work
we'll in a wet or puddled soil. They
must have air and a comparatively
high temperature in order to do their
best work. :.-.'~
The surface water which accumu-
lates after heavy rains should not be
allowed to remain on the ground long.
Hence the importance Of having q
good system of surface drains or
ditches to carry away this superduous
