FOR THE H0USEKEEPER.
How to Mend an Iron Pot or Pan
Satisfactorily.


Pots and pans. whether Of iron OF
tin (Which is only iron timed over,
get holes in their bottoms all too soon
to please the economical hOusekeeper.
Then it becomes necessary to call in
the tinsmith. who puts II lump Of sol
der in the hole. This soon meIts and
the hole is there again.
But nothin. is easier than to repair
such holes ut home and without the
aid of a tinsmith. First Of all make
the hole round by inserting the point
Of a knife and twisting it back and
forth. Place the pot or pan upon any
firm. fiat piece Of metal. such as an
anvil. a bar Of iron or an inverted
flatiron, so that the hole is immediate
~ over and touching the latter. In the
middle of the hole place a shot of
about the size of the hole. Any piece
Of lead will serve If shot be not handy.
Now a few sharp blows with a ham
mer will flatten the hole tightly and
overlapping enough to hold it In place,
4 few strokes with Il file and q rub
with sandpaper complete the operation,
The repair is permanent. 1t is said
that a hole as large as II quarter Of an
inch in diameter can be mended in this
way.

the top and sides with canvas or
boards. The best place to store is in
the closed NOW or barn. 1t should I've

carelessly of losing the leaves.
Soy beans intended for seed should
be allowed to ripen we'll and may be-
cut with scythe. mower or bean har-
vester. Some harvest the crop with
grain binder and others with corn har.
vester. Both Of these machines. how
ever. shatter the beans and cause con-
siderable loss.
When cut with Il mower without
windrowing attachment the plants
should he removed ut every round out
of the way Of the horses. for If tram
pied upon a large percentage of the
seed will be shelled out and wasted.
After cutting the beans are allowed to
cure in windows or bundles and are
hauled in as soon as dry.
Provided the regular grain concaves
are removed from the machine and
blank concaves used in their place. SOY
beans may he thrashed without much
injury with the ordinary thraSher. The
thrasher cylinder should be run ut less
speed than when thrashing grains.
while the separator should be III ut the
usual rate Of speed. To accomplish this
a larger drive belt pulley is used and IL
correspondingly larger pulley on the
opposite end of the climber.
The beans should be stored in bar
rels or shallow bins or spread out on a
floor. where from time to time they can
be shoveled over until they are thcr-
oughly dry and hard. Later they may
be safely stored more compactly.
The dry beans will keep nicely for
several years when not exposed to the
elements. They can be fed whole to
pigs and sheep. but for general use It Is
preferable to crack or grind them.
Tests have shown that it is often
necessary to mix the beans with corr
or peas to grind them into meal. as the
beans are too soft to granulate well
alone. Too large quantities should not
be ground at n time. as the high oil
content will cause the meal to heat and
turn rancid. making it unfit for feed.

SAVING AN OLD ROOF.
Oak Trusses Of Ancient London Hall to
Be Re.enforced by Steel.

BE Reinforced by Steel.
The roof uf Westminster nall. Lon
don. is supported N thirteen oak
trusses, said to be the earliest and best
known example of the hammer beam
type. says the Engineering Record. The
trusses have been in service more than
500 years without receiving other re-
pairs than those required by the de-
cay of the material. They are Of a
complicated design. with intermediate
stresses, and have been REINFORCED
with modern timber struts and tie
bolts.
A recent investigation showed that
some Of the timber was s. rotten and
disintegrated that large pieces could
be picked out and that the ravages OF
insects. particularly a certain species
Of beetle. were much more serious than
dry rot and surface decay. At least
four of the thirteen trusses were in a
dangerous condition and likely to fall.
A plan submitted for the preserva-
ton of the roof at an estimated cost
Of about 100000 has been accepted.
The old trusses will be REINFORCED on
the lines Of their principal members
by steel frameworks, which will be
entirely concealed. The original ap-
pearance Of the building will be re-
stored and maintained. and all large
cavities in the timber will be pieced
up with new oak. The trusses are in
such a serious condition that they
must not be lifted mol jacked in any
way. but must be maintained abso
lutely in their present positions with,
out weighing or dra wing together. Some
of the joints are so decayed that the
roof would be likely to collapse If any
attempt We're made to lift and carry it
by the trusses. In order to accomplish
the gradual removal and RECONSTRUCT
ton the work will be carried on from
a movable steel scaffold weighing 115
tons that will support from two to
four trusses simultaneously.

n trunce-even in crowded Paris
every n has a garden. secluded
somehow from the gaze OF the
curious. where tile family can
gather in fair weather. and these gar
dens are usually just the c%ourtyards
between the crowded houses trans
formed by a few rows Of box. a chest
nut tree and maybe a little fountain.
In America We cement up our court
yards. or If we do not convert them
into gardens We put them where every
~ can see them and rob them Of all
their home value. In Italy the home
is not complete without its touch OF
outdoors. vel IL it Is only a balcony
English people. too. have their private
gardens. where they may have their
Indispensable cup Of tea shielded from
the gaze of outsiders.
But it is Il funny thing that most OF
us Americans. who are 50 truly out
door people. content ourselves with
having all our home indoors. Gardens
we have. surely. but they are usually
not gardens ut all as the European
would understand the term. They are
decorations. flower beds. arranged for
the benefit Of the passerby. We are
guiltless of fences and wallis. and our
lawns and arbors and groves might as
we'll be public parks for all the home
quality they possess.
But II thing we do have that our
European cousins have to stand back
and admire Is the veranda. and all the
time we are getting to appreciate the
possibilities Of the veranda more and
more. and the veranda is becoming
more and more a part of the home.
OF course the first requisite to the
nominees of the veranda Is to have it
away from the street. The old fash
toned idea was to have it plastered
over the front Of the house-an en-
larged entrance porch. where we might
+ sit and watch u neighbors us they
passed and where they might see us
US they passed. But nowadays archi-
tects have convinced us that u spacious
front veranda is not absolutely essen
tial to the structural completeness of
the house. and we have learned for
ourselves that the privilege OF privacy
is worth more than the privilege Of
viewing our neighbors.
But most of us cannot live in new
houses. We must make the most of
the old style veranda. And in this
work we have several aids-vines and
screens and awnings. which. taken to-
gether. will effect a good looking shield.
A veranda should be the most com
Portable and the most hospitable part
Of the house. 1t should have some
place to recline-a hammock. Il steamer
chair or a long wicker chair. or ii foot
rest used in connection with IN easy
chair, and plenty Of serviceable cush-
ions.
Then the veranda should afford OPP
p%ortunities for refreshment. There
should be a table where tea can be
served or cold drinks dispensed. and,
if it is secluded enough, where lunch
con or breakfast on a warm day may
be simply eaten. A convenient table
for this purpose is one Of the folding
ironing tables which can be closed to
form q settle.

Farming
HARVESTING SOY BEANS.

When Grown For Hay They Should Be
Cut When Pods Are Forming.
Prepared by University of Wisconsin
agricultural experiment station.l
Soy beans grown for hay should be
cut when the pods are forming and
before the plant begins to drop its
leaves. If delayed too long the lower
leaves may drop of and thus the most
valuable part Of the plant be lost. The
stems also become woody and conse-
quently less palatable to stock. It Is
preferable to cut early rather than too
late.
The crop may be cut with an ordi.
nary mower. The beans should be cut
early In the morning after the dew is
of or late in the afternoon. If cut
in the morning they may be allowed
to wilt until late in the afternoon of
the same day and then put up in small
cocks. This work is often done by
hand. as the leaves fall off readily. A
horse rake. however, may be used
when the vines are nicely wilted, but
not dried. As they shed water quite
we'll in wet weather the small cocks
may be left to cure for several days.
If the weather is fair the small cocks
are turned over before noon and al
lowed to cure thoroughly. When the
weather is ~unfavorable it is advisable
to bunch a number Of cocks together,
cover with a hay cap and allow to
cure for several days. Soy bean hay
