LITTLE LIFTS FOR THE FARM
Fire-Proof Cement for Roof to Stop
Leaks Cannot Be Beat-Cheap
Paint for Rough Work.

For fire proof cement for roofs
mix fire clay two parts, plumbago one
part, steel shavings one part, borax
one part, and salt one-half part. Mix
to thick paste and use at once. For
stopping leaks in any kind of roof,
except shingles, it can't be beat.
Many times the strong sun shining
on window calls for curtain or some
other shade, and in most cases there
are objections to a curtain. The
glass may be easily frosted by dis
solving Epson salts in beer and paint
ing the glass with the mixture, using
an ordinary paint brush. When dry,
you will have the finest artificial
frosting known.
To make cheap paint for rough
woodwork, take six pounds of melted
pitch one pound of pure linseed oil
and one pound Of yellow ochre. Mix,
and if too thick add more oil. This is
a very durable paint for any purpose
To make paint for brick walls add
good lime whitewash small amount
Of sulphate of zinc and any coloring
matter desired, such as red lead, vel
low ocher, etc, far superior to oil
paint for brick walls.

Dickens Was a Tidy Man.

ception. There never existed |

way-in his mind, in his handsome and
graceful person, in his work, in keep
ing his writing-table drawers, in his
large corresp ondence, in fact, in his
whole life" But he could be fidget
also, as, for example, in regard to the
furniture in a room in a hotel. He
might be staying only single night,
but if it did not please him he would
rearrange it ALL always turning the
bed moth and south to meet his views
of the electrical currents of the earth!

A DISH OF MUTTON.

Mutton Is a meat which is not used
as much in this country as in Eng
land. Perhaps one reason is because
1t is not always to be bought, and an
other, we do not know how to cook it
as do the cooks Of the British isles.
AS Thackery says, a smoking, juicy
piece of mutton, no better meat can
there be-
Mutton With Carrots and Peas
Have a piece of mutton cut from the
shoulder, three or four pounds, ac-
cording to the size of the family to
be served. Cook it in simmering wa
ter until nearly done, then add a half
dozen carrots cut in matchlike strips.
When these are tender, add a can of
green peas and serve the meat with
the carrots and peas around it.
Cold roast or boiled mutton makes
good hash. Season with pepper, salt
and few chopped capers or sour
pickles.
Mutton chops served in the follow
ing manner are not common Dip the
seasoned chops in melted butter, then
in dry bread crumbs and broil eight
to ten minutes.
Scotch Broth.-Wipe three pounds
Of mutton, cut from the fore quarter;
cut the lean meat into one-inch cubes,
put in kettle, cover with three pints
of cold water, bring quickly to the
boiling point, skim and add a half
cup of barley which has been soaked
in cold water over night; simmer one
and a half hours or until the meat is
tender Put the bones in second ket-
tie, cover with cold water, heat SLOW
ly, skim ano cook one and a half
hours. Strain the water from the
bones and add to the meat. Fry five
minutes in two tablespoonfuls of but
ter, fourth cut each of carrot, onion,
turnip and celery cut in half-inch
pieces. Add to the soup with salt
and pepper to taste and cook until
the vegetables are soft Thicker with
two tablespoonfuls each of butter and
-four cooked together. Add a half ia
blespoonful of chopped parsley just
before serving. Rice may take the
place of barley.

Was Working in the Dark.

Secretary MacVeagh, at a dinner in
Washington, was urging the need of
scientific financial laws But let us
make these laws scientifically" he
said. 1--WE must let in light. If we
work in the dark, you know, we will
go wrong-like young Cornelius Husk
Cornelius was called one winter morn
ing before dawn, and told to go and
harness the mule. The lad was too
lazy to light a lantern, and in the
dark he didn't notice that one Of the
COWS was in the stable with the mule
AS he tried to harness the COW his
father, impatient at the long delay,
shouted from the house: 'Corney! Cor
ney! What We doin'?' I can't get the
collar over the mules head, the boy
replied. His ears are frozen.

PLANTING for Future Seed.

Few farmers feel that they have
time to give to an elaborate corn
breeding plot, but none of them is so
busy that he can't take time to selec:
the best hundred ears in his supply of
seed, and, after testing to be sure of
its Vitality, plant in plot on the south
or west sides of his main field.
Doing this will not only simplify the
matter of selecting the seed ears next
fall, but the location of the best and
most thrifty type of corn in the posi-
ton mentioned will mean that much
of the remainder of the field will be
fortified by the tassels on these bet
ter stalks.

ords and have won medals in local meets
The team Is in charge Of Herbert Myers,
1acuity coach, who turned out a winning
academy team at the I. S. A. A. games
held last May. Coach Myers holds the
OHIO state record for the half-mile out
door with record of 1.59. Prominent
among the men in training are Martin,
Poe, Worde. Gilmore. Smith. George
Sykes. Maurice Curtis, Stratton, Fortune
and Young.
Martin Of Cincinnati is a Splinter and
murder of renOwn. He has negotiated
the century dash in even time. and has
equaled the worlds record for the so
yard hurdle indoors. He also has a
time of 90 seconds for the 44O. He is ia

equal his record in the hurdles. Poe of

hill. He holds the I. S. A. a. records fol
the 40 and $50 outdoors, and last sum-
mer. running for the Smart Set A. c. OF
Brooklyn. N. Y. covered a heat in the
900 yards in the time OF 1.19. and won

Michigan gymnasium college record in
the 36-yard dash while a student there,

A. A. In 1910. Gilmore, who won more
outdoor games Of the /. S. A. A. last
May, will also be heard from. All of
the other men are excellent track ath-
letes.
Hampton Institute has a large squad
in training, and three very fast men
have been uncovered for the relay team
that will meet Howard and Lincoln in a
three-cornered event for the college
championship. Neither Lincoln or Hamp-
ton have ever been seen at the indoor
game, and there is much speculation as
to Towards chances with either Of these
two dark horses.
1t is hoped that Howard can get to-
gether some men to qualify for the
Washington city relay team that is billed
to meet the relay tours of Philadelphia,
Baltimore, Brooklyn and New York.
