10. o. F. and Rebekahs.

Sixty-one members of the Odd Fell
lows lodge and twenty-nine Rebekahs
were in the line of march last Sunday
morning to the M. E. church, to attend
memorial services. The church was
filled to it's seating capacity to listen to
the splendid sermon by Rev. F. S.
Hollett. The speaker prefaced his re
marks by referring to the history of
the orders. The institution of Odd
Fellowship dated back to l745 in Lon
don, England: The first date of Odd
Fellowship in this country was in 1906,
but little was done uLtil 1919, when
Thomas Wiley and Others gave it a
strong footing in their lodge instituted
at Baltimore, Md. 1t was 1851 when
the Rebekahs we're organized The
enrolment of Odd Fellows in this
country at the present time, is more
than l,l25, 900. and the combined men,
bership of the two orders has almost
reached the two mill IN mark. The
total relief extended in that time has
amounted to Sc. OO0,0 ,0G', and relief has
been administered in l.oy0,O00 homes,
as we'll as relief AFFORDED to 5000, 600
widows and orphans. The speaker
paid a glowing tribute t. Odd Fellow
ship and the things for which it stood
The lessons taught in the working of
its degrees were helpful and instruc-
tive and taught man to be mindful of
more than himself. The Odd Fellows
lodge is the strong, active order of the
city, and Fraternity, Love, and
Truth" are the links that have entered
many a home in sickness or distress,
and make the order something worth
while.

Golden Dream Cake.

Separate the yolks and white OF
four eggs, beat the whites with an
egg-beater until you can turn the
bowl wrong side up and the egg white
will hold it's position solidly. Then
with the egg-beater beat the yolks for
five minutes when they will be thick
and creamy. Then beating all the
time with beaten, gradually pour in
one cup graduated sugar. Beat until
sugar and eggs form a cream, light
and foamy. Then add one-half tea
spoonful of lemon or vanilla. Last
Of all add one cup of pastry -four, sift-
ed three times, with saltspoon of salt
In it. Fold in the flour very carefully
with spoon. Turn into a buttered
and well-foured tin and bake a pretty
golden brown. In cutting for the
table crease each piece deeply and
then break. To cut sponge cake spoils
the grain and makes it seem heavy.
There is no rising in this cake except
the eggs. But you will find it all
right and most delicious cake.

TINE 70 CUT ALFALFA
One Of Controlling Factors in
Taking Care Of Hay.
Start Mower In Morning az Soon az
Dsw 10 OF and Prospects
oeem Good for Three Days
Of Good Weather.

The best time to cut alfalfa is when
about one-tenth Of the blooms are out
or II an examination is made at the
base Of the stalk new shoots are
seen making their appearance. Many
times It ID even practical to cut the
1rst crop few days earlier. especial
~ II large acreage is to be har'
vested. Time is one Of the controll-
ing factors In taking care Of the hay
30 1t II necessary for the grower to
exercise 1udicious planning to utilize
his time to the best advantage.
It IL good plan to start the
mower as soon as the dew is off in
the morning and the prospects seem
good for two or three days Of con-
tinued good weather. This hay
should be tedded in the swath in the
afternoon, 80 that 1t will dry out un-
derneath. The side delivery rake is
good. In fact, the ideal machine to
turn the hay. Beginning on the out
side Of the field. the hay is carried
further out, leaving an open space
which will be heated by the sun be-
fore the next round is made. On
turning the next swath the dry, hot
stubble and soil will quickly draw
the moisture from it, therefore the
hay is curing from below as well as
from above. The following morning
the same rake is used as soon as the
hay is sufficiently dry, and two
swaths put in one, and in the after
noon it is ready to be stacked or
hauled into the NOW.
The following method is practiced,
and lends itself admirably to taking
care Of hay crop II 1t is not too
heavy: The mower would be run late
in the afternoon, when not much wilt
ing will take place and when the
underground is perfectly dry. The
advantage Of this over the early morn
ing is that the soil Is warm and dry,
and that less surface is exposed to
become wet by dew than when alfalfa
is standing. The hay is turned in the
following morning just before noon,
and will be ready to rake and stack
in the middle of the afternoon. An
other plan Is to rake in the afternoon
and put it up in small cocks, turning
these over the following day, replac-
ing these two into one, and letting
them cure for few days before
stacking. It is of the greatest i'm
portance that the hay be absolutely
dry from dew before putting it into
the barn or stack. Alfalfa Is more
difficult to cure properly than the
grasses. because the leaves fall OF 80
readily, and when we consider that
these make up 4S per cent Of the crop
by weight, their true value 10 very

the Dominion Experimental farm at

pounds of lime, 40 gallons of water

recipe. Spray on the tree just after
the leaves fall, and again as soon
as the first wash has dried. The

FOR WINDOW DRAPERY
TIME TO GIVE THOUGHT TO CUR
TAINs Is NOW.
M aseriaI Desired May BE Bought
Sneaper at This Season Than
Later-SugoestIons az to the
Best Color Schemes.


Now that autumn is approaching it
is ume to think of new curtains.
They may be purchased now at small
cost.
For living or dining room nothing
could be prettier than the green ana
yellow scheme. II the walls are
green, brown or gray, have soft vel
low next the window and green to
cover the woodwork.
Soft yellow silk muslin hemstitched
Is beautiful, but the same delicate
shade of cheesecloth will give exactly
the same effect. Cheesecloth may
sound rather poor, but when hanging
at a window with the light back of IL
nothing could be prettier, and certain
ly nothing less expensive. Make the
curtains perfectly straight with a
wide hem. Put them on a brass rod
and they will hang softly, giving a
peculiar light that is unusually sug-
gestive of mellow sunlight
Over the window frame heavier
material is necessary. For all living
rooms cretonne or English chintz in
yellow and brown tones is pretty but
cotton poplin is no more expensive
and much more elegant and artistic.
Poplin can be purchased in all shades
of green. brown or red, and is a good
substitute for velours in winter, as
it looks quite as warm, and, unlike
velours, it need not be made by an
expert to look well.
Outside Grapes should be cut
straight, the same as those next the
window, using a width for each side
Hem across the bottom and attach the
other end to rod, or tack to either
side of the window frame, as they will
not be drawn, but left to hang plain at
the sides. Across the top of the win
dow valance is good. Cut the pop
lin in half lengthwise, making a cas-.
ing, with heading, and have 1t twice
as wide as the window. Run the rod
through the casing.
For bedroom white cheesecloth Is
like linen, always looks fresh, appar
emily never wears out and IN cOlors
never seems to fade. Pink in deli
cate shade is also pretty for a bed
room, as the light has way of shin
ing through 1t which is very alluring
almost like sunset glow.
Inside curtains of cretonne may be
made of a width of the material less
the width that Is taken of for the
pleating. Make box pleats about two
inches wide and the same distance
apart, stitch and put around the sides
and bottom of curtains, also on the
valance. Hang them the same as the
other curtains.
The best quality Of cheesecloth IN
all colors can be bought for ten cents
q yard, and silk muslin and cotton
poplin at Is cents.

Every now and then, instead Of al

exactly the same position as first
placed, the tread of the carpet should
be moved a couple Of inches or 80
either up or down. This has the
effect OF keeping the pile Of the carpet
