STIR MILK BEFORE USING
culture That Is Founded on
Scientific Experiment.

Always stir up the milk in jar or
pitcher If you wish to give fair per
centage of cream to individual drink
ers. Recent investigations by the Uni
ted States department of agriculture
proved that in many cases where re-
tail dealers are held up for selling
skinned milk it is because they have
ignorantly poured off the top milk to
one customer, leaving skinned for
some one else
The department of agriculture rec
ommends that milk be retailed in bot
ties Whenever it is necessary to sell
bulk milk, vendors are advised to
mix their milk thoroughly each time
before pouring from large container
into small one, if they wish to avoid
unintentional skimming. This can best
be done by stirring the milk with a
long-handled dipper Shaking the can
is not sufficient.

WHEN CLEANING THE HOUSE
Useful Ideas VSry Seasonable About
This Time. and All of POSI-
tive Value.

A very good calsimine can be MADE
as follows: Soak one pound of white
glue over night; then dissolve 1t In
boiling water and add 20 pounds OF
paris white, diluting with water until
the mixture is of the consistency OF
rich milk BY adding little colorins
this can be given any tint desired
prussian blue, for blue; Indian yellow
two parts, and burnt SIENNA one part,
for buff; burnt umber, for brown, etc.
Lime calsimine, for grade of work
inferior in effect to that made OF paris
white and glue, is made by taking SIX
quarts of thick lime whitewash, made
of the best lime, slaked in hot water;
mix turpentine and linseed oil, each
one-half pint, and stir in it while the
wash is hot; then add one-half pound
Of powdered alum. Have the mixture
thick enough to spread well with
calsimine brush.
The white marks can be removed
from the top of table, and it can be
made to look like new in the following
manner: Slightly dampen piece OF
wadding Wits methylated spirit, over
which place piece of white linen rag;
screw round at the back so as to form
a portion to hold with, then apply with
a circular motion where the marks
are, rubbing gently, always in the
same direction, until the marks disap-
pear. Then rub we'll with dry, clean
cloth, after which polish with a good
furniture cream. On no account must
the spirit be put direct onto the linen,
but on the wadding, which cover with
