The Cook SAYS.

If your market basket or clothes
basket of willow shows a few loose
ends, put it to soak for twenty min
utes or half an hour in lukewarm wa
ter.
A good way to do is to put the
basket into the bathtub, resting it on
the part that is to be repaired, then
turn in enough water to soak this
part. The important thing is to get
the willow ends soft and pliable.
When this is accomplished the
strips can be readily bent back into
place, and if you push them in firmly,
they will stay in place when dry. New
er try to bend the willow strips while
they are dry, as they will he sure to
snap off.
A putty knife, with its short handle
and broad blade, is an indispensable
tool in the kitchen. 1t can be used for
turning hash, fritters and fish. Its
broad end is also most useful in scrap
ing pots and pans.

SOME KITCHEN k,Isns
METHODS THAT MAY HE NEW TO
MANY HOUSEWIVES.
Tiles Always Best When One Can
Afford Them-keeping the Dish
cloth Fresh-LinoIeum for the
Floor Covering.
Floor Covering.

Tiles are so clean and nice if one is
able to afford them. The young wife
| who has them will never regret the
outlay, although they are rather ex-
penSive at the start. Round the kitch-
en- walls they are splendid and most
hygienic in every way.
The back of the sink is bound to get
splashed with the washing up after
each meal Therefore here it is es-
sential to have either tiles or zinc or
something of the kind through which
the water cannot penetrate. Zinc an
swers the purpose quite we'll if secure.
ly nailed fiat against the wall. This is
easily cleaned daily with little dry
brickdust.
The tiles, of course, are ideal, as
all they need is a wasndown with
warm water daily.
A little enamel basket is so useful
in the sink for tea leaves and such
things which are more than likely
to go down the .sink and eventually
stop it up. 1t is shaped so that it fits
into the corner Of the sink, perforated
with holes, so that all liquid passes
away, leaving the solid bodies in the
basket.
Nothing is more unpleasant than a
greasy dishcloth. To keep this i'm
portant article fresh and sweet, it
should be scalded each time after use,
or else washed out thoroughly in hot
water and rinsed well in several wa
tiers.
A plate rack fixed above the sink is
great saving of labor. Plates put in
the rack must be rinsed in cold water
after being washed in hot, if you do
not want them to be smudgy.
When roasting meat, use double
meat tin. Put cold water in the under
one. This prevents the dripping burn
ing and also keeps it from boiling
away.
Plenty of hot water is essential for
dish washing. Collect all the silver.
Place the knives blade downward in
jug of hot water. Pile up the plates
neatly. A little arrangement saves
the muddle one so often sees in con-
nection with washing up. Wash all
the cleanest things first to save the
water. Rinse glass in cold water after
washing in hot and polish we'll with a
dry, clean cloth.
The most useful and healthy floor
covering for the kitchen is linoleum.
Inlaid linoleum is the best to pur-
chase. Here the pattern goes right
through and therefore will be perfect
to the last.
Clean your windows when the sun
Is not shining, for IL the sun shines
on wet window no amount Of rub
bing will prevent it from being streaky
when dry. Avoid a frosty day, too,
as the glass is apt to break easily
then. Dust the windows thoroughly.
Wash the glass with a sponge wrung
out in tepid water with a few drops
of ammonia in it. Dry with a clean
cloth with no fluff on it,. Polish
with pads of newspaper.

MAKING DIRT ROADS BETTER
Foreman Must Know What, How and
When to Plow-Avoid Building up

By Z. VAN BENTHUYSEN)
With sandy soil and subsoil OF

SO as to raise and mix the clay with
the surface soil and sand. The com
binatioa forms a sand-clay. road at
trifing expense.
If the road be entirely of sand a
mistake will be made if it Is plowed,
unless clay can be added. Such plow-
ing would merely deepen the sand,
and at the same, time break up the
small amount of hard surface material
which may have formed.
If the subsoil is clay, and the sur
face scant in sand or gravel, plowing
should not be resorted to, as it would
result in clay surface rather than
one of sand or gravel.
a road foreman must know not only
what to plow and what not to plow,
but how and when to plow.
If the road is of the kind which, &C.
cording to the above instructions,
should be plowed over it's whole width,
the best method is to run the first
furrow in the middle Of the road and
work out to the sides, thus forming a
crown. Results from such plowing are
greatest in spring or early summer.
In bitches a plow can be used to
good advantage, but should be fol-
lowed by a scraper or grader. To
make wide, deep bitches nothing bet.

feet, or in making fills" it is espe-
cially seryiceable.
1t Is mistake, however, to attempt
to handle long-haul material with this
scraper, as the wheel-scraper is bet
ter adapted to such work. For hauls
of more than 800 feet, wagon should
be used. The machine most generally
used in road work is the grader or
road machine. This machine is espe-
cially useful in smoothing and croWn-
ing the road and in opening bitches.
a clay subsoil under thin coating
of soil should not be disturbed with
a grader. It is also a mistake to use
grader indiscriminately and to pull
material from bitches upon a sandy
road.
Not infrequently turf. soil and silt
from ditch bottoms are piled in the
middle of the road in ridge, making
mudholes a certainty. 1t is important
in using grader to avoid building up
the road too much at one time. A
road gradually built up by frequent
use of the grader will last better than
If completed at one operation.
The foreman frequently thinks his
road must be high in the first instance.
He piles up material from ten inches
to foot in depth, only to learn, with
the arrival of the first rain, that he
has furnished the material for SO many
inches of mud. All material should
be brought up in thin layers, each
layer we'll puddled and firmly packed

crown too high with the road machine
on a narrow road.
The split-log drag should be used to
fill the ruts and smooth the road when
not too badly washed. The drag pos
sesses' great merit and is so simple in
construction and operation that every
farmer should have one.
