SPRING CARE OF LIVE STOCK
Great Mistake Made by Many In Feed
Ing Out All of the succulent
Feeds During Winter.

Every year we see the necessity OF
having an abundance of ensilage and
roots to carry the live stock well
through the spring months 1t is q
great mistake to feed out all Of the
succulent feeds during the fall and
early winter and compel the farm an.
imals to consume the dry, inferior fod,
ders during the spring when they are
falling away in condition. Neither is
1t good policy to turn the animals out
to pasture too early in the spring.
1t belongs to the penny-wise-and.
pound-foolish policy that too many OF
us are practicing. 1t is much better
to spend few dollars for grain, and
house feed our animals longer than
to expose them to the cold blasts OF
late winter and early spring. Sound
policy dictates this and humanity also.
Lice seem to be more troublesome
during the spring when the farm ami.
mails are kept inside until warm
weather comes than at any other time
during the year, and as soon as an an
imal is discovered to be lousy, the lice
should be destroyed at once.
We have found a strong decoction
Of tobacco an excellent wash for the
purpose Of destroying lice, but during
recent years we have been using mix.

TO SPREAD MANURE ON LAND
Fertilizer Should Be Spread on Soil
When Grass Is Growing as Loss Of
Nitrogen Is Less.

A most excellent way to use fine
manure is to disk 1t In land where
clover or grass is to be sown in the
late summer or fall. 1t Is spread on
the land after 1t is narrowed down
fairly well and then disked in Just be-
fore making the final preparation and
sowing the seed. This method, accord.
ing to Southern Agriculture, is not
often practicable, however. Unless the
bad practice is followed of holding it
through the summer but little manure
is on hand in the fall and the rush OF
work at that time often makes 1t i'm
possible to haul 1t out then.
Through the summer and at other
seasons 1t may be desirable to spread
manure on meadow or pasture land
and allow 1t to lie for year, or for
years, before plowing. This is more
wasteful than where the land can be
plowed reasonably soon, but conve.
nience or the need Of a pasture or OF
q meadow that should stand another
year or two may, and often does,
justify the practice. 1t should be
applied at a time when the grass is
growing, or near such time, as the
loss Of nitrogen will be less then.
Sometimes disking and narrowing the
land at the time will be good prac-
tice. This will help work the manure
into the soil, will cultivate the land
and will make seed bed If resolving
is intended.

A fire broke out one day in Fran
els Wilson's dressing room at the the
ater where he was playing.
He had some of his books around
him and in an agony Of despair asked
himself:

at his precious Chaucer, at some
Shakespearean volumes, when
Come, Mr.. Wilson," broke in at the

Eyes, yes, coming" replied Wilson

He was looking for a special illu-
minated volume very dear to him.
Come, Wilson, cried his manager;
come, get out!"
"All right, all right" said Wilson,
and, grabbing some clothes in one
hand, he snatched with the other the
nearest volume and ran to the street.
There he looked at the. huge volume

Uncle Cy was SO years old when he
died. He had made a lot Of money,
and had devoted his entire life to a
spectacular and desperate system OF
never letting go of nickel. His rep.
utation as tightwad and a skinflint
was SO gorgeous and brilliant that its
effulgence lit up all New England and
cast powerful glow as far south as
Tennessee and as far west as Mime
sofa. When 1t came to stinginess he
was the original gold-medal old guy.
< At last he died and the family spat-
tered around a lot Of money to pay for
his funeral and to lay him out In state.
On such occasions in New England
it is customary for everybody to say
something nice about the dear depart
ed. This time, however, the neighbors
merely looked on in silence.
At last an old man in whose veins
the milk Of human kindness rippled
and pumped and roared, took his stand
beside the casket and lifted up his
voice in eulogy to Uncle Cy.
"Cy's gone now" he said, "and I'll
say this for him: He was always good

BLANKETS AND QUILTS
BEST WAY OF CARING FOR THE
a BED Accessories.
little GIycerln Added to the Rinse
Water Is Recommended-Qulits
Liable to Fade May Be Cleaned
With Gasoline.

The following is the best way to
wash blankets: Slice half a cake of
any good laundry soap In two quarts
Of water. Set on the stove and stir
until dissolved. When dissolved, add
to cold water In tub. To this soapy
water add four tablespoonfuls of pow
dered borax. Soak the blankets in
this over night or for several hours.
Wash in this water. Rinse twice in
cold water, wiring and hang on the
line. This recipe will wash four
blankets. Be sure and use only cold
water, and they will come forth as soft
and beautiful as when new A tea
spoonful of glycerin added to the
rinse water will improve them.
Very heavy blankets may sometimes
be cleaned by hanging them on the
line and turning the hose on them,
spraying them all over Stretch them
full length, and fasten a heavy weight
at each hanging corner to prevent the
wind from swaying and wrapping them
into roll upon the line. The weights
hold them In shape, and when spread
out In this manner they dry quickly.
Cotton blankets are washed differ.
emily from those made of wool. Soap
them well with laundry soap, fold, and
allow them to soak in tepid water.
Wash them in an hour or SO and place
In a boiler of hot suds to steam, not
boil. Rinse In several waters. Use
a very little bluing and dry them
double on the line. Press dry on the
wrong side.
Quilts that are liable to fade II
washed, may be cleaned with gasoline.
Allow 1t to remain over night. Drain
and place in second tub Of gasoline.
Strain the gasoline in the first tub
and use 1t, with a fresh supply for
cleaning the second piece. When
washing colored quilts avoid using al.
kali. 1t will run the colors and ruin
the material II quilts are badly
soiled, put kerosene in the first tub,
It will cut the dirt.
Bedding washed early In the spring
may be dried out Of doors, but the
pieces should afterward be thrown
over a line hung in room, to dry
thoroughly. Ticking should be soaked
in water containing borax. Iron the
pieces dry. II thin, coat lightly with
paraffin on the wrong side. This will
prevent feathers from working
through.
