Apparently the only crops which will

hay and citrus fruits. But it is not
possible, after getting SO far behind
the demand, for the supply Of stock

Labor Saving In Housek eepInq

AT the home makers conference held
during farmers week at the New York
State College Of Agriculture, Prof
Van Rensselaer, discussed Labor Saw
ing in Housekeeping" Those house
keepers who had not considered this
important phase Of their work received
some valuable hints Of what may be
accomplished at the expenditure of a
little thinking energy. A few of the
suggestions were: Take time to think
out whether each article in the home
is right and convenient in itself and If
it is in the right place. If the kitchen
is too large arrange the furnishings
cOmpactly in one portion OF the room
in order to save miles of steps. Have
stoves, sinks, tables and kitchen cab
mets raised to the proper height SO that
the person working over them will not
get worn out from STOPPING. See that
the route to the cellar is convenient
Directions for the care and preser-
walton OF eggs We're given in another
lecture as follows: Keep eggs in as
cool and damp place as possible with
out their molding. Infertile eggs keep
the best. Even these do not keep
long at temperature above 80 F
Only preserve the very best eggs. Eggs
should not be held for more than a
week before selling them. Dirty eggs
should be cleaned as soon as they are
gathered and do not wet them any
more than absolutely necessary in SO
doing and dry them as quickly as pos
sible. 1t is unwisr to try to keep eggs
more than one year.

A Laugh

\ laugh is just like sunshine,
IL freshens all the day.
1t tips the peaks Of life with light,
And drives the clouds away:
The soul grows glad that hears it,
And feels its courage strong
\ laugh is just like sunshine
For cheering folks along!
A laugh is like music.
II fingers in the heart,
And where its melody is heard
The ills Of life depart:
ana happy thoughts come crowding
In joyful notes to greet
\ laugh is just like music
For making living sweet.

Mr.. Stover explained that the reason
why the additional police appropriation
had not been granted was because two
requests had been made on the finance
committee at the same time One Of
them was to add to the number Of
patrolmen ON the police force, and the
other was to increase the salaries OF
the officials $4,000 a year
"The finance committee couldn't de-
eide what to do, whether TO increase
the salaries or the force said Mr..

high or even less. The first work is
in getting the stalks in an erect posi-

In a few days little more earth
may be added, always doing the
