In Handling Mating.

Pieces of mating to look smooth
when placed on the floor should be
matched and lightly stitched together
with strong waxed thread. Get a
curved upholstery needle. as 1t sews
more easily than a straight needle.
1t is best to tack the mating in the
center at one side. then outward to
each end to get 1t tight along the
edge. While a carpet stretcher must
be used to get the mating tight. one
must be very careful not to break the
material. Tacks can be used when
stretcher must be used to get the mat
ting along the seams toe hold 1t in
place while fastening the ends. but
they should be removed after the mat
ting Is down.

WASTE IN VEGETABLES
GOOD QUALITIES LOST DURING
PROCESS OF co!LING.
Considerable Food Value Retained
When Steamln9 10 Substituted for
the Present General Method Of
Preparation for Table.

IL we stop to think about II, as many
methods of preparing vegetables are
somewhat wasteful The vegetables
are those foods which give US more
salts and mineral extracts, iron. etc.
than possibly any other kind of food
These extracts are dissolved in wa
ter and. consequently, when We cook
our vegetables in a large quantity of
water, and then throw 1t away, we
lose much. II not most, of these valu-
able food materials.
A recent investigation along this
line has brought out these interesting
facts: that a great deal Of the most
valuable part of the potato is lost by
pairing. or laying the pared potatoes
in water for some time: spinach. cab
bage and carrots were boiled and
steamed and the various differences
noted.
Spinach lost about so per cent. Of
mineral matter by boiling, only 8 per
cent. when steamed.
Cabbage lost AZ per cent when
boiled, only IL per cent. by steaming.
Carrots lost only per cent. when
cut up. but IL per cent. when boiled
whole.
Potatoes showed a gain Of Is per
cent when boiled in their jackets, as
compared to peeling and then boil
ing.
Besides these losses OF nutrients
there was found to be a decided loss
In the waste made by peeling both the
carrots and potatoes.
Since then It has been found that
our boiling methods are very waste
full. | know they are fueltaking and
timetaking when we scrape every root
vegetable as We do. declares a writer
in the Chicago Inter Ocean,. II steam
ing has been found to be the better
way, we should try and steam as much
as possible Several improved
steamers are on the market which per-
NIT several foods to be cooked over
one burner. II we know that steam
ing is more economical of the foods,
and OF the fuel also. why do we not
steam more and boil less?

Auto and Good Roads.

The auto has come to stay and there
is no use fighting against it or trying
TO penalize the owners for destroying
country roads. There is no doubt that
an auto will wear out a dirt road
quicker than a team carrying 5000
pounds, and while the latter are pc
nalized in some states. all efforts to
give the same medicine to the owners
of autos have failed. The only remedy
is to build roads that will stand the
wear and tear Of heavy wagons, autos
and anything else and then take the
penalty on everything.

Department OF Agriculture Collects
Data Showing Land Values In
crease With improvements.

The direct effect that changing bad
reads into good roads has upon land
value and the general economic vel
fare of a community is shown In sew
eral concrete illustrations gathered by
the United States department OF agri-
calture. The department has just Is
sued a statement on the subject,
based upon a mass of information
gathered by the office Of public roads.
which is making a special study OF the
economic effect OF road improvement
in the country. According to data
gathered, where good roads replace
bad ones, the values of farm lands
bordering on the roads increase to
such an extent that the cost of road
improvement is equalized. If not ex-
ceeded. The geenral land values, as
well as farm values. show marked ad-
vances. following the Improvement OF
roads.
Among the illustrations cited by the
department are the following:
In Lee county, Virginia. a farmer
owned 100 acres between Ben Hur
and Jonesville, which he offered to
sell for $500. In 1908 this road was
improved. and although the farmer
fought the Improvement. he has since
refused $1,000 for his farm. Along
this same road a tract OF lSS acres
was supposed TO have been sold for
$4,000. The purchaser refused the
contract, however, and the owner
threatened to sue him. After the
road Improvement. and without any
improvement upon the land. the same
farm was sold to, the original pur-
chaser for $1,000.
In jackson county, Alabama. the
people voted a bond issue Of $250,000
for road Improvement and improved
"a per cent. of the roads. The cen
sus OF 1900 gives the value OF all farm
lands in jackson county at $500 per
acre. The selling value at that time
was from SC to SIS per acre. The cen
sus OF 1910 places the value OF all
farm lands in Jackson county at 1913
per acre. and the selling price is now
sIS tn s2s per acre. Actual figures OF
AN.N ..nt TT taiut ~
proven are SHOWN.
AZ Dads In no way al act soil
fertility or quality of the farm. ad-
vances are due essentially to the de-
crease in the cost of hauling produce
to market or shipping points. Farms
are now regarded as plants for the
business OF farming. and any reduc-
ton in their profits through unneces-
sarily heavy costs for hauling on bad
roads naturally reduces their capitaliz'
alton into values. With reduced costs
for hauling profits are increased. with
the result that the farm plant shows
satisfactory earnings on a higher cap
ital value.
The automobile. also. has begun to
be an important factor In increasing
rural values where good roads are In
troduced.
immigration is particularly marked
where road conditions are favorable;
in fact. the figures of the department
seem to indicate that good roads indi
rectly increase the demand for rura
property; and the price OF farm land
like that of any commodity. is ruled
by the relation between demand and
supply.

MAKING GARDEN.
By Howard L. Ram

Making garden is an antidote for
spring fever which Is taken in large
doses the first week, after which the
garden is allowed to die a natural
death. Some gardens die quickly, as
the result of being assassinated by a
late frost, while others linger along
on bed Of suffering and are finally
strangled by the murderous jimson
weed,
Making garden is favorite spring
pastime with people who have cud-
died up to the canned string bean all
winter, until the edge of their appetite
is denied in several spots. 1t is this
Kind OF people who put in garden
Just in time to have it jumped on by
the tail end of winter and driven back
10 the place Of beginning. Other folks
are more cautious and wait until the
sun gets up high enough to raise
biisters on the young onions and
radishes. when they attack the gar
den with steam roller and lay out
tennis court.

There is nothing more pleasant or
healthfully exhilarating than to get
out in freshly plowed garden in the
dewy morn and plant the embryonic
rutabaga and the blushing turnip,
meanwhile sitting down heavily on a
family Of angle worms and gathering
calouses faster than roller skater.
This will give man deep zest for
the morning meal, and 1t will also
give him crick in the back that Will
cause him to walk like stepladder.
After garden gets up where 1t can
be taken hold Of with hoe, 1T Is neces.
sary to cultivate 1t three times . day
and all hours on Sunday in order to
keep the breath of life in it. This cul.
tivating brings into play a lot Of
muscles which the cultivator did not
know he had and which rise up In the
night and throw off painful exclama-
tons This wears off by the first Of
December, however and leaves an an
nual epidemic Of muscular rheumatism
in it's wake.
