them, formed the rear guard of farm
house in southern New York on the
banks of the Susquehanna, and con-
talncd the big fireplace and brick oven
of the original house built in 1890
With the advent Of the first hot days
the cook stove was moved into 1t from
the winter Kitchen and from that time
until early frost the cooking was done
there, leaving the winter kitchen cool
dining room for tho farmer and his hired
mon.
For those farmers who were fore
handed enough to have two cook
stoves. one for each kitchen, this semi
annual migration was not necessary, but
in tho farmhouse described the pres
ence OF the old fireplace with its great
black crane and dangling pothooks rem
dered stove for purposes other than
cooking not only unnecessary but I'M
desirable.
Great was the delight OF the young
sters Of that family when, the head of
the house having decided that tho
heated term was over, the stove was
hauled back into the winter kitchen
and the great board removed from the
yawning face of the old fireplace.
Chunks from tho woodshed-left for
the purpose-were brought in and piled
In ono corner of the wide red brick
hearth, and here through the long dark
autumn evenings before a blazing wood
fire nuts were shucked. beans were
shelled. cider was boiled down, and
great kettles OF cider apple sauce were
made. to be ladled into stone Jars when
cold and carried into tho cellar.

HOME DECORATED SCREENS.

n RNAMENTAL screens are espe-
cially desirable In summer, as
they can be quickly moved to ward
Off an unexpected draught and prove
useful as well as decorative. Some of
the new screens in tho shops are full
of suggestion to the ingenious woman
who owns a screen which needs re-
juvenating. It Is simple matter to
conceal the original cover, and provided
the frame and hinges are in good repair
1t is well worth a little time and money,
The prettlest models show some deco
ration at the upper portion Of each
panal. Sometimes it will take the form
OF simulated latticework separated by
a strip OF moulding from the main part
OF the panel. or again brilliant plumaged
birds cut from wall paper are cleverly
applied so that each panel looks as If
especially designed. The same idea can
be carried out In crctonne, plain uphol-
sterer's sateen or burlap being used for
the lower part of the panel and bold
cutout design of birds or flowers being
applied at the top. The edges of the
design are left raw and either couched
or chain stitched to the plain fabric.
This makes "A pleasant type OF fancy
work for summer leisure and the results
are quick and satisfactory.
Where snowy results are wanted with
the minimum OF labor some of the strik-
ing new printed linens and cottons are
easily applied to the original covering Of
screen. the new material being laid on

At tho foot OF the stairs which led
into the woodshed stood the leach

standing on platform which sloped
forward, under the edge Of which stood
Kettle to catch the lye as It ran down
the grooves cut in the platform. Twice
year tho accumulated contents Of
keE OF grease were put into the big
Iron kettle over the fire, pals OF I've

odor OF that dripping lye fingers yet

brought out and hitched in pairs to

When December ushered In real WIN

Job and required nice handling; only
the mother was skilful enough to per-

The same iron kettle was requisi-
toned for making brine for pickling the
pork and sweet brine for the tender,
juicy hams. The sausage was made
here, the men folk grinding the meat
and the mother seasoning and mixing It
in the enormous wooden bowl kept for
that purpose. A little pat was then
placed in the frying pan over the Goals

SUMMER KITCHEN DELIGHTS.

n FEW ways are responsible for the
NJ passing of n number of institu-
lions which have obtained since
the days OF the early settlers in the
middle and Eastern States. ono of these
dear to the hearts of n host OF coun-
try broughtups now constrained to
dwell among tho tents OF Kedar is the
summer kitchen.
To-day, with electricity in all but the
most isolated of villages, and with
kerosene ranges in the loncliest farm
houses, there Is little use for this de
vice of our grandfathers for keeping
tho house cool in summer. Much of the
work for which the summer kitchen
was used has gradually been dlscon-
tlnued. Farmers now buy soap and
cheese from the groceries and maple
syrup from the owners OF large sugar
bushes at cost lower than that OF
the labor required to make them at
homo.
Forty years ago each farmhouse
usually had Ats family of growing boys
and girls who looked forward to these
duties from year TO year as an excuse
for fun and frolice, and the labor in
Yolved was scarcely considered. To-
day the inmates of most of the farm
houses are hired tenants or the deserted
old folks struggling along with falling
energy and incompetent help--in some
cases no help at all.
One of these summer kitchens, typi-
