TO CLEAN SWEATER.

A sweater is one Of the necessities
OF the wardrobe. No other wrap can
take its place. The dainty woman al
ways prefers the creamy white ones,
but often hesitates to buy because Of
the seeming difficulty r; of. cleaning
them. The following method simpli-
fies that process. so--that no one need
hesitate to buy one on at.account.
Woollens blankets may be. cleaned in
the same manner. +.+.+: = =
A quarter of a bar of a. good white
soap is melted over the stove.% TO
this is added about half a cup ST am
monia. Enough hot water. is run into
the pan or tub. to cover the sweater.
The soap and a mnonia< are stirred
in. and then the sweater is placed in.
With a stick on. the top Of. a. wash
board this is stirred and turned until
the dirt is out. Rinse in several wa

There are several methods of dry
Ing. One is to fasten a sheet flat
over several clothes lines and spread

COST OF LAND AND

Observation-Disclosures.

The Chicago Record Herald has for
months been devoting the first coll

less to say, his investigation: led no.
where. Lately another writer, Ar
thur NJ Evans, has been conducting
the investigation, and he seems to
be getting on the right track. In the
issue of Aug. 26 he locates the cause
OF higher food prices in obstacles to
production created by exhaustion of
the public domain and initiation OF

Mr.. Evans:
the depression of agriculture, drove
the farmers boys to the city to get
the money. High prices might turn
the movement in the reverse direction
but: new difficulties beset the march
to the land.
: Not only has the cost Of living
gone soaring, but everything else has
shot skyward. It's far harder to get
back to the farm than it was to get
to the city. The public domain
is practically exhausted Of arabic
lands; rich acres are NO longer to be
had for the asking. Land values
have gone up, which: increases the

IS the fact that the last decade or SO
has seen an economic revolution in
America. It is by no means the only

HINTS FOR PIUKLING.


Housekeepers Always Do, and Will,
Prefer Their Own.
Despite the fact that excellent
pickles may be bought in the stores
at little expense, still, where there
! are vegetables in plenty and to spare
housekeepers will always prefer to
put them up for winter use rather
than buy. It goes without saying the
cost is less, while there can be no
doubt as to their purity.
Some people have luck, as they say,
real success in my experience has
been with small onions puts up the
following way: r.:
The outer covering Of the onions is
removed and then they should be
packed into clean, dry glass bottles
and covered with cold vinegar, adding
the usual picking spices, whole.
The bottles should be filled brim-
ming full, and then be sealed down.
Onions picked this way are very firm
and have fine flavor, but it is said
they do not keep as we'll as the boiled
pickles. They will keep during the
winter, anyway. It might be we'll
however,, to use them up first They
are so little trouble to put up that
With the vegetables at hand a few
may be preserved just as one found
time for doing it.
To pickle cauliflower with cold vim
egar, the vegetables should be cut
into small pieces and sprinkled with
salt. They should lie for a couple of
days thus, and then be packed into
glass jars and covered with cold
spiced picking vinegar.
Some housekeepers boil the cauli-
flower with salt until the vegetable
is little tender, instead Of laying it
In the salt raw. A bed of nasturtiums
Will supply enough seeds to make
quite a number Of jars of pickles.
I know a family where nasturtium
seeds are used as substitute for
capers and are often used as an adit-
ton to sandwiches. salads and similar
! dishes.
A jar of vinegar, made rather sweet
and quite spicy, Is kept on hand and
into this the seeds are dropped as
they ripen.
10 pickle mustard seeds in hot vim
esar the seeds are put into a cooking
pan and covered with salt and water.
After lying there an hour or so the
'pan is put over the fire and the seeds
brought to q boil. They should be re-
moved carefully into stone Jar and
then be covered with boiling hot pick
ling vinegar.
The pears peeled and halved are
laid In a preserving pan in layers, al
ternating with one and one-half
pounds of sugar. The brown sugar is
tho best. Pour over a quart of vim
esar and drop in thin bag contain
ing half an ounce each Of cloves and
cinnimon and little mace. A sliced
lemon is considered an Improvement.
The whole should be gently boiled un-
I'll the pears are tender. They are
then placed in jars carefully and the
syrup boiled for half an hour or 80
until thick. Fill the jars to over
flowing and seal at once.
: While wine and sugar vinegar are
considered the best kinds for cold
picking, but IL other vinegars are
used they should be boiled first, then
cooled, and perfectly freddy strain
lng--from any sediment. as this
would cause the pickles to ferment.
