GUEST ROOM MADE RESTFUL
One Hostess Insists on Harmony in
Color, Even to the Tint Of the
Soap Used.

A hostess who is noted for her con-
genial week end parties, which are
given all through the summer at a
delightful country house out on Long
island, makes practice of picking up
her guestroom soaps while In Paris on
shopping bent early in May There
is something about the delicate, elu-
sive fragrance of French soap which
no American made soap seems to emu
late, and though, of course, the French
varieties cost a good deal more, the
distinction impaired to a guestroom
in this manner is incontestable.
This particular hostess selects four
kinds of soap, in four colors to har-
monte with her various guestrooms,
done in rose pink, pale green, pale
buff and violet and rose. Blue this
hostess debars as too chilly and aus
tere for bed chamber The four
soaps selected are violet, rose cylamen

For many years l have followed the
method Of allowing my pigs to run
with the sows as long as the sows
will permit them. My theory is that
sows are made for that purpose, and
l see no reason why young pigs should
be taken away from their mother as
long as she has milk for them. The
more milk the pigs get, the better it is
for them.
! use matured sows for breeding,
and try to have them In very good
flesh at narrowing time, but not fat.
They do not get too thin from suck
ling, and very often come in season in
time to breed for fall filters, before
pigs are weaned.
Another thing: feed my pigs near
ly all the corn they will eat, although
l know this practice is condemned by
many hog raisers. When they are
very young, l give them little sIop
made of shorts, water and bit of oil
meal.
| feed the pigs in an inclosure by
themselves, and never give more at
one time than they will clean up. l
feed them little slop all through the
summer, and give them free run of
the pasture. l take care that they
have all the sweet grass they can eat,
clover and alfalfa.
They root up the alfalfa slightly, but

pigs stamina and start them on the
road to fattening.
When the corn is past the roasting
ear period, l begin to feed them that
very lightly at first, gradually increas-
ing the ration, until the late corn is
ripe. l always feed some oats or old
corn along with the green corn, and

BUILDING A RACK
FOR HAULING WOOD
Use Two Pieces of Very Strong
Wood and Have Blacksmith

Take two 4 by ) pieces of very
strong wood not less than eleven feet
long and not more than twelve and cut
a notch so as to fit down over hind
bolster of wagon to prevent rack from
slipping backward or forward. Use
four or six standards on each side and
the same number of cross pieces and
at the same places make sure that the
standard in going down through the
standard socket catches and prizes
against the end of the cross piece.
Make standards three and one-half
feet long. They may be afterwards
cut off if desired. Have a blacksmith
make standard sockets from old
wagon tires to admit a standard one
and one-half by four inches and with
bolt holes for one-half inch bolts. Bolt
all cross pieces firmly. Have wagon
nearby when making rack and have
the rack go as far forward as possible
so that when it is turned SO that front
wheels strike the side rail on one side
