BEAUTIES OF THE ORIENT
Women There Spare No Pains In Eff
forts to Preserve Their Health
and Good Looks.

The bellies Of the far East make a
fine art of beauty culture. These orien-
tai beauties spend most Of their days
in preserving their health and good
looks. On awaking in the morning a
very hot bath is prepared, and in this
they remain for several hours. Vari-
GUS unguents are used, but not soap,
and these render the skin as soft as
silk.
Oriental families guard as secrets
the making Of certain subtle perfumes.
One family has its method Of captur-
ing the scent Of the rose; another that
of the jasmine, and the skin, hair and
clothes Of the women Of these families
are always saturated with delicious
scents.
After the hot bath each morning the
scalp is massaged, and for this an oil
made Of aloe wood or cocoanut is used.
Next the hair is dressed in manner
to suit the contour of the face. Cos
metics are used for the eyebrows and
skin, and night and morning com
plexion beautifer, supposed to be in
fallible, is employed. This consists
of milk, into which the juice Of a
lemon has been squeezed.

USE CORNSTALKS
FOR Fertilizer
Besides Nitrogen Humus Is Fur
niShed to Improve Water
Holding Capacity of Soil.

Cornstalks are valuable as a fer
tilizer and should be left on the field
after cutting. The nitrogen which an
acre of stalks contains would cost at
least four dollars and a half If bought
in the form of commercial fertilizers,
says e. G. Schafer of the agronomy de-
partment at the Kansas Agricultural
college. When stalks are burned, as
is often the case, all nitrogen is lost.
Besides the nitrogen the stalks sup
ply the soil with humus, which i'm.
proves the water-holding capacity and
furnishes food for certain beneficial
bacteria.
Many persons believe that chinch
bugs winter on the cornstalks. Some
do go into winter quarters there, but
due to the poor protection which the
stalks afford a very small per cent,
If any, survive the winter according
to George A. Dean of the entomology
department.
The stalks should be cut in early
spring with a stalk cutter or a disk.
If a disk is used, the field should be
disked both ways This cuts the
stalks and at the same time leaves a
good mulch, which prevents rapid
evaporation of the soil moisture.

BIG LOSS TO THE DAIRYMAN
Total Of $4,000, 900 Lost Annually in
United States Through Low Mois-
ture Content of Butter.
Copyright, 1s14.)

Copyright, 1914.)
(By A. A. BORLAND, State Agricultural
College, Burlington, VT
Fourteen million dollars are annual
ly lost to dairy interests in the United
States through the low moisture con-
tent of butter. The maximum legal
amount is 16 per cent; the average
for the United States is only 11.5 per
cent. An additional S.5 per cent
might be added, making the water
content 15 per cent, without exceed
ing the legal limit and without de-
terioration in quality of the product.
Now, how can the moisture content Of
butter be controlled? There are many
factors influencing moisture content
of butter, but the two most important
are the churning temperature and the
amount of working.
Churning temperature is of funda-
mental Importance. During fall and
winter, when moisture content of but
ter is low, temperature of churning
should be as high as is consistent with
securing a product firm enough for
handling. Experiments conducted un-
der direction of the writer showed an
increase of two per cent. in water con-
tent of butter churned at 70 degrees
F. as compared with so degrees F.
That churned at so degrees F. aver
aged 1873 per cent. moisture; that at
so degrees F. averaged 14.4 per cent;
that at 65 degrees F. averaged 14.9
per cent; that at 70 degrees F. aver
aged 1871 per cent. Churning should
stop when butter granules are the size
of corn grains. The temperature of
wash water should be nearrAhat of
buttermilk, although if high churning
temperatures are employed wash wa
ter a few degrees lower tends to firm
butter. Vice versa, in springtime.
when per cent. of water in butter ex-
ceeds the legal limit, cream should be
churned at as low temperature as pos
sible without prolonging the time of
churning, thus causing butter to be
salvy.
The amount of working has consid-
cradle influence on per cent. of mois-
ture in the finished product When
butter is worked in absence of water,
moisture content decreases rapidly as
amount of working increases, but if
butter is worked in presence q wa
ter moisture content increases with
amount of working. Consequently if
high percentage of water is desired
butter should receive minimum
amount of working suficing to distrib-
ute salt evenly when no water is pres
ent, but maximum amount of working
if water is present Care should be
exercised at all times not to overwork
butter. Again, If natural moisture
content of butter is high all water
should be drained away, butter par
TALLY worked, water drained of and
the working completed.

WASHING CREPE DE CHINE
BY No Means a Hard Task, Though
That Impression Seems to Be a
General One.

Washing crepe de chine is no more
difficult than washing a dress of col
ored muslin. If tepid water and good
soap are used with care it will come
from the laundry as triumphantly as
piece Of linen. Do not let it lie in
the water longer than is necessary,
rinse thoroughly, and when half dry
press on the wrong side with a me
dium hot iron. If of a delicate color
the garment must be dried in a shady
place.
Black crepe should be cleaned. with
alcohol, as this does not injure the
color and give that grayish hue which
is so undesirable.
The best way to clean white chiffon
is to wash it in warm soapsuds. Be
sure that the water is only tepid not
hot, and add a pinch of borax to soft
en- it. Then make a suds with a good
white soap. Let the chiffon soak for
a while, then squeeze or work it gently
with the hands until quite clean, but
carefully avoid wringing or twisting
it. Rinse thoroughly, lay smoothly on
a towel and press with a moderately
hot iron before quite dry. A very hot
iron or hot water will turne white chit.

be carried on beyond the first genera
tion, and it is rarely advisable at all.
If you want egg production, you may
select from the Leghorns, Minorcas,
Anconas, Campines, Buttercups, and
other of the smaller breeds. However,
in the majority Of cases the general
purpose fowl will be found best adapt
ed to the farmer who wishes to keep a
few chickens as a side line. For this
purpose the American breeds, such
as the Plymouth Rocks, the Wyan-
dottes, the Reds, ETC., and the English
breeds particularly the Orpingtons,
are about equally adaptable.
Does your market have any prefer
ence as to the color Of the skin of the
dressed fowl? Many markets do, and
will pay enough more so that it pays
to cater to this choice. If the market
prefers yellow skin, the Orpingtons
and Langshans will be eliminated at
the outset, for they have white skins.
On the contrary, if the market wishes
a white skin, you cannot use the Ply
mouth Rocks, Wyandottes, or Reds.
Does your market have preference
as to the color of the eggs? In some
cases this market preference takes the
form of a premium of five to eight
cents per dozen more for eggs of the
preferred color. 1t is always advis-
able, to give the markets what they
call for and will pay for, so, if your
market has a particular desire as to
the color of the egg, select your breed
accordingly.

strinoina Necklaces.

There is quite cult for exercising
self-ingenuity in the stringing of bead
necklaces now, and girls who can in
duce their relatives to give them the
old clear amber ones are finding them
to their liking as a change from the
clouded kind generally seen. They
exc out a limited quantity Of the
beads by threading and knotting them
upon colored string, and produce a
barbaric appearance by mingling yel-
low, green and scarlet, the first the
color Of the large beads, the second
of the string and the third of the
small beads.
Yellow and scarlet look exceedingly
well, and that combination of color is
newer than the amber and amethyst
chains already much admired.

DISCOURAGING THE
OLD SETTING HEN
One of Best Methods Is to Con-
fine Fowl in SIat- BOttOmed
Coop in Quiet Place.

Don't tie red rags to the old hens
tail when she wants to set, and don't
throw her about or fill her nest with
trash. Broodiness is a normal condi-
ton that must be overcome by normal
methods. One Of the best Of these is
to confne the hen in a slat-bottomed
coop in a quiet, cool place, giving plen-
ty of water but feeding lightly on sue
culent feeds, with very little grains.
Two or three days Of this usually per-
suades her to change her mind about
setting, the reason being that the sys-
tenn is rested and cooled by the meth
cd of handling, and the hen is urged
to activity by a little touch of hunger,
though she should by no means be
starved while in confinement
Middletown transcript., 1914-04-04

should be dated, and any other memo
randa as to the hen should be mark
ed on them, and the eggs then placed
in wooden boxes packed loosely in
wheat bran.
The eggs should be kept in a tenn
perature of between So and 65 de-
grees, and must be turned partly over
every day. The eggs should always be
placed in the bran in a slanting posi-
tion, with the little end down.
OF course eggs should be set as
early as possible, and never after they
are three weeks old. In fact if they
are set after they are two weeks old,
one is taking a risk.
If broken up, turkey hens will begin
to lay again in about two weeks, and
some breeders take advantage of this
by having an incubator ready when
the hens begin to lay, to take care Of
any surplus eggs, as it is deemed bet
ter practice to use incubators for this
purpose than chicken hens.
If hens begin laying very early they
will often, particularly in warm cli-
mates, produce two breeds during the
year, but late hatched turkeys seldom
do well, and late laying should not be
encouraged.
If the eggs are to be hatched under
turkey hens, each hen should be given
from 16 to Is eggs, according to size.
Never give hen more than she can
thoroughly cover. If, after setting
down, it is observed that some of the
eggs are peeping out around the
edges, the number should be re-
duced
We have never known turkeys to
be raised successfully in an artifcially
heated brooder. The young poults do
not seem to thrive we'll except when
under the mother hen. The turkey
hen searches for food for her young,
while the chicken hen must be fed.
The turkey hen, therefore, seems to
take better care of her poults than a
chicken hen does, and generally sue
ceeds in bringing more Of them
through the season than those that
are started in brooders.

Cooling Fresh Milk.

When milk is allowed to cool natur-
ally. it win sour in a much quicker
time than if cooled after being drawn
from the COW. The longer the time
which elapses between the milking
and refrigerating, the shorter will be
the keeping properties of the milk
after it is cooled. This is accounted
for by the fact that milk is soured by
bacteria, and they grow in warm milk
at a very rapid rate. Milk sours
quickest at a temperature of about 80
degrees to 100 degrees Fahrenheit
but freshly-drawn milk, which is at
1O1 degrees Fahrenheit, soon falls to
the temperature of the atmosphere.
