NEED PROPER SETTING
ARRANGEMENT OF ARTISTIC
PIECES OF CHINA.
Important Point 10 Preservation Of
Color Scheme In lts Entirety
How Woman Evolved Really
Clever Idea.

China and artistic pieces of pottery
are SO inexpensive and their collection
is a source of SO much interest and
real enjoyment that their care and ar
rangement are q matter of more than
passing interest in the home. Good
china or pottery limitations require a
suitable setting for best effects. Valu-
able specimens should be single or
placed in groups. Mugs and plates
on the plate rail should be separated.
each collection as a single decoration.
The construction of the plate rack
should conform to the general style Of
the room. and the articles placed upon
it should be of one color. or consist Of
a collection of pieces which will not
give to the room the general air Of
curio shop.
One woman DESTROYS of having
dainty plates upon her plate rack, but
who was unable to get the kind she
wished, made several of oriental de-
sign by cutting patterns from q paper
that is used to- give q stained glass ap-
pearance to windows. The paper was
cut into many beautiful patterns and
pasted around the edge and across the
center Of inexpensive china plates. but
in perfect harmony with the color
scheme of her dining room.
The washing Of valuable china needs
to be carried out very cautiously and
carefully. A big wooden bowl, filled
with warm soapsuds. to which q few
drops of household ammonia Ihave
been added. should be prepared. and
each piece Of china washed separately
in this, using q square Of old flannel
for plain pieces and q soft brush for
deliberately ornamental articles. Rinse
in another wooden bowl of clear. warm
water and dry with linen cloths. Wash
the pretty, new table china yourself
In the dining room. Have q pan of hot
water. some soap. q mop and towels
in the dining room after the meal 10
over. and there wash the china. Put
them In their places Immediately
afterward and you will not find the
work a tax. To prevent fine china
plates breaking. put . thickness of
plotting paper between them. This
may be bought in large sheets and cut
into rounds which are large enough to
prevent one plate from marring the
decoration Of another.
Porcelain ware can be mended with
ordinary putty mixed with oil. Work
q small particle into the worn place
set 1t aside for several days and food
can be cooked in the vessel without
danger of a putty taste. A good
cement for broken china IL made by
stirring plaster of paris into . thick
solution of gum arabic until 1t becomes

VALUE OF COMMUNITY NAME
In Buying Farms Investigate Sections
Which Are Known for Some hign
Class Of Product.

Those who wish to buy farms In
different territory than they now &C.
cupy, can do no better than to 1nvesti-
gate sections which are generahy
known for some class of livestock OF
other agricultural product. The dairy
man, for instance. IL he prefers ho''
stems. would perhaps find JEFFERSON
county just right. while Guernsey
men might investigate Waukesna
county. There are dozens OF sectlons
in Wisconsin and other states which
have the same sort Of community rep
utation.
Land, as a rule. is cheaper. relative
ly, in the older regions of a state tnan
in the newer. Where farming mas
been conducted for q long period.
prices are not uniform. A well devei-
oped farm, with costly improvements
probably cannot be bought for any
price. Another just as good, only not
kept up so well. may be for sale be-
cause the boys" will not remain and
the "old man" does not care to bother
with hired help. Or 1t may be an
estate sold by executors who are In
a hurry to wind up the property
writes w. A. Freehof In the Farm
Stock and Home. In a new section
all land has more or less a UNIFORM
price, so much per hundred acres re-
CARELESS of improvements.
A man settling in a community that
is noted for some particular product
will not have to do much individual
advertising. II he raises dairy cat
tle-and that is the leading trade OF
the Wisconsin farmer-buyers from
all over the country will visit that
county or section of the county, ana
will inspect all or most Of the dairy
farms. A few of the older breeders
have long ago paid for all needed
publicity.
The only thing necessary for the
newcomer to consider is high quality
product and honest dealing. Other
wise he will soon be boycotted and
will find that buyers are warned not
to trust him.
OF course, II he can't find just what
he wants in the more settled regions
there is a splendid opportunity In a
new country. BY organizing the
neighbors 1t will be possible to build
up a new community that may in time
surpass in fame the older ones. For
instance, there Is every indication
even now that some of the counties
in upper Wisconsin may challenge the
supremacy Of southern counties in the
production Of dairy cattle of all
breeds.

HOW TO USE BABC0CK TEST
Method Of Determining Amount Of Fat
In Milk 10 Quite sImpIe-Mode
Of Operation.

(By A. A. BORLAND. University Of
Vermont. Copyright. 1s14)
The Pabcock test for determining
the amount of fat in milk is simple,
and the apparatus needed for testing
consists Of (D milk. skim milk and
cream test bottles; (2) 17.6 c. c.
pipette. (3) It's c. c. acid measure.
U cream scales. (5) centrifugal ma
chine and (6) sulphuric acid.
The operation of testing is:
First-See that all glassware II
clean.
Second-Have sample Of milk or
cream at 60 to 70 degrees F. and thor
oughly mix BY pouring the sample
from one vessel to another at least
three times.
Third-n milk, remove 17.6 c. c.
with the pipette and put into the milk
test bottle: II cream, weigh Is grams
into q cream test bottle.
Fourth-Fill the acid measure to
the lis c. c. mark with sulphuric acid
having a specific gravity Of 1872 to
1873. Pour acid into milk test bottle,
which should be held in an inclined
position and slowly revolved 80 that
acid will come In contact with any
milk that may remain in neck Of
bottle.
Fifth-Mix milk and acid by giving
the test bottle a rotary motion. Avoid
shaking. The casein at first coagu-
lates, then dissolves. the color of the
mixture gradually changing, becom-
ing a dark brown color. Let the
bottles stand two to I'VE minutes;
then shake again before placing in
the centrifuge.
Sixth-Place test bottles In the cen.
trifuge in pairs opposite each other
so the tester will be balanced: start
machine slowly; bring up to full
speed and hold at required speed for
five minutes.
Seventh-(a) Add hot water (180 to
100 degrees F. to test bottles until
contents come to lower end Of the
neck of bottle. (b) Whirl two min
utes. as before. (cl Add hot water
again until the lower part of the fat
column is up to the 1 or per cent
mark. (d) Whirl one minute and read
Eighth-(a) The readings should be
made when bottles are at a tempera
ture of 40 degrees F. When tests
have been made with a hand tester
bottles should be placed in water lac
degrees F. for five minutes before
reading. (b) The percentage of fat II
read directly from neck of the bottle
Milk, skim milk and buttermilk tests
IRE read from the bottom Of the IA,
column to the extreme top. including
the meniscue. (c) Cream tests arr
read from the bottom of the fat col
umn to the bottom Of the meniscus.
Ninth-Wash test bottles In warn
water and alkali powder; then rims,
three times in hot water.

Why bald heads nod in church, to

men are prone to fall asleep in church
and he has found the remedy for this
unfortunate fact. "A glazing light fe-
fore the eyes Is sure to produce drow-

bald heads and negligible eyebrows
are less protected from glazing lights
than those blessed with abundant hair.
