SOLUTION TO CLEAN SILVER
Method by Which the Priced Table
Utensils Will Take on a Polish
Without Injury.

Every housekeeper takes pride in
keeping her silver bright and shining,
whether her choicest collection be
great grandmother's treasured tea
spoons or the latest achievement of
the jewelers. art.
But whether her silver is of this
year or of a century ago. the sulphur
in eggs, rubber. natural gas. water,
white tissue paper, and in the white
cloth, so often used in making silver
cases, viii turn the best polish she
can put on it to a yellowish brown.
To clean by rubbing with whiting
or any of the silver polishes is long
and laborious process, and one which
must be repeated frequently; but an
easier method, which does not injure
the silver, may be employed.
Dissolve one teaspoonful of COM
mon salt and one teaspoonful of soda
in one quart of water, and place in
a galvanized pan. Silver placed in this
solution takes on a polish without
rubbing. To get results it is neces-
sary to keep the inside of the pan
thoroughly clean.
By placing in the solution a small
piece of zinc or the lid of a Mason
jar the use of the galvanized pan be-
comes unnecessary and any kind of a
pan may be used.

MEETING THE NEEDS OF ALL
important Point in Housekeeping
Which the Mother viii Do Well
to Remember.

One Of the most important points in
housekeeping is planning the dietary
TO meet the needs of all members OF
the family. This means that the main
part of the meal is made suitable for
all and to this is added the foods es-
pecially needed by each individual. the
simple light dishes for little children
and the energy-producing foods for
outdoor workers. The choice Of these
is always a matter of individual judg-
ment and observation based upon an
understanding of the general prin-
ciples of well balanced diet
One thing, though. should always be
kept in mind; that where the main
dish of the meal or the dessert intend
ed for adults is too heavy for childish
digestion, some equivalent dish equal
ly attractive to the children should be
provided. 1t may not be wise to let
the children share the pie or rich PUG
ding provided for adults, but when the
more elaborate dish appears upon the
table, rather special pains should be
taken to provide a dainty and tempt
ing dessert for the children. The Gus
tard or rice pudding or fruit daintily
served costs very little trouble and
brings lot of happiness TO the chill
dren who would otherwise feel only il
was hard thing to be little boy or
girl when grownups eat just what they
please.

GRADING FARM AND
GARDEN PRODUCTS
Where Work Is Done Honestly
Ready Sale and High Prices
Are Obtained.

(By f. p. SANDSTEN. Colorado Agri-
cultural College)
Wen packed and honestly graded
farm and garden produce will always
command a ready sale and higher
prices than carelessly packed and dis
honestly graded goods.
The greatest asset of the manufac.
turer is his commercial honesty, and
this honesty is evident in uniform
quality and the careful pack and dis
play of his goods. In other words, his
goods are standardized.
Farm and garden produce may be of
the highest quality, but if the packing
is carelessly done, and in old and
dirty retainers, the discriminating
buyer will not buy and the producer
is forced to accept a lower price. The
practice of facing the packages with
produce Of the highest quality and
then filling tie remainder with infe
rior goods, is plain dishonesty and does
much % prevent both the honest and
dishonest producer from obtaining the
market value. The producers first
aim should be to establish a reputa-
ton for his products, and when this is
accomplished more ts4an half of the
selling problem is solved. Each pro-
Queer should have his packages la
beled with his personal label or trade
mark This would indicate that the
producer is willing to stand behind his
goods.

list may often be entirely unframed
while others rod away may be stung
by the very bees which his manipula-
tons anger.
His quiet, determined demeanor is
his safeguard. while the uninitiated
strike at the angry bees until they are
stung.
When you wish to open a hive of
bees, if you wish TO be perfectly safe.
arm yourself with a smoker, cover
your head with veil, and step boldly
to the front of the hive: send the
smoke through the opening for half a
minute, then stop, and repeat the op-
GRAFTON after another half minute. or
until they make a steady hum, which
will show that they have given up the
desire to fight.
Then open the hive, smoke gently
and you may lift the combs one after
another
Many people have kept bees but did
not succeed on account of the worm
moth. but worms very rarely. if ever,
destroy a colony Of bees in normal
condition.

KEEP LAYING HENS
FREE FROM VERMIN
Lice Cause Most Damage by Vio-
lent Itching and Pain They
Cause the Fowls.

The estimated offspring from a sin
Gle pair of lice in eight weeks is one
hundred and twenty-five thousand.
Lice are insects which inhabit the
feathers Of the bird They have not
a piercing mouth, but one that is used
for biting. The louise subsists on the
production Of the skin and fragments
of feathers. 1t is not SO much what
they get as nourishment from the in
dividual that hurts, as the violent itch
ing and pain they cause, especially If
present in large numbers.
They also spread as rapidly as they
breed. The lice from one individual
may spread through the entire flock.
Factors which favor their develop
ment are poorly ventilated quarters,
insufficient food and weak stock. The
laying hen that looks poor and sickly
is the one most likely to be infested.

TWO WAYS OF KEEPING LENT
Billy Sunday Tells of One of Them
In an Anecdote That Is
Worth While.

Billy Sunday. the evangelist, to
whom all Philadelphia has been hit
ting the sawdusI trail" was talking
about Lent.
'Lent?" he said, throwing up his
arm as if about to pitch ball. We'll,
boys. there's lots of humbug about
Lent Sincere Lent keeping is a good
thing, mighty good thing: but the
other kind"
With a light leap he landed in a
sitting posture on his reading desk.
Seated there. his legs swinging com
fortably, he went on:
We'll. the other kind reminds me
of the fat old party who said:
"'Consarl this war; Turtles gone
up. oysters have gone up, trout's gone
up. vines gone up. canvas-back ducks
gone up and beers gone up. With
things in such a condition | hardly
see where a mans to get the money
to cele-er--I mean to keep Lent

Everyday pounhnuts.

This is very simple rule and I al
ways use it and never had failure:
One cupful of sugar, one beaten egg,
butter and size of a walnut 1t is
not necessary to beat the sugar and
butter thoroughly as for cake Add
little salt and nutmeg or cinnamon.
one cupful of sweet milk. one and one
third teaspoonfuls of baking powder
sifted in with flour enough to make a
stiff dough. Cut out and fry. A deep
kettle is far better for frying than
a spider and there should be plenty of
fat to float the cakes. Put the dough-
nuts in stone jar before they be-
come cold and cover tight. In this
way they will not harden. Set the
doughnuts into an oven a few mo-
ments before serving and they will
be almost as good as when freshly
fried and much more healthful.-Bos-
ton Globe.

Salmon.

One way to serve it is to spice it in
this way: Remove contents from a
can and crush all the bones AMI re-
move any bits of skin. The bones
should not be removed for they are
pure lime and we get too little lime in
our foods to waste bit. Spice enough
vinegar to cover the salmon and heat
it until it is almost boiling. Pour this
over the salmon and set it aside to
steam and cool, but cover it well. This
should stand for "a hours. 1t is the
richest of all spiced fish.

INDICATIONS OF
AN EARLY SPRING
Great Prosperity Ahead for
Western Canada.

The most recent advices from all
points in Western Canada report that
conditions are apparent for an early
spring. Farmers are going over the
implements, getting their seeders
ready for operation. the plows in shape
for extended breaking, and there is a
general optimism. A great many new
settlers have already arrived, and the
reports from Canadian Government
agents in the United States point to
the fact that In few days there will
begin the usual emigration from va
rious of the Central and Western
states. From the Eastern states the
number Of farmers going to Canada
will be greater than In any past year.
There has been fairly large snow
fall during the winter, which will
greatly add to the precipitation of
last fall, which in the opinion of old
timers vas in itself sufficient to in
sure a good crop during the present
year.
There will be very little titled land
Ahab al NC mlAlOuI Il NlOR lAAH gOdA .
The authorities, though, are pleading
with the farmers to seed only such
land as has had careful preparation, for
rich as is the soil of Western Canada,
1t is no more fitted TO produce good
crops uncultivated than is that of any
other land anywhere else. There
have been accounts Of failures In some
portions OF the agricultural districts of
Western Canada. and also reports Of
small yields in some districts. A. good
de&' Of this is accounted for from the
fact that notwithstanding the advice

ers who will persist in seeding land not
properly prepared. This may be done
this year, but those who cultivate on
reasonable and logical methods will
be certain OF a paying crop. There is

man to bring IL forth with a crop, 1t
is no wonder that Western Canada Is
continuing to prove such an inviting
field for the agriculturist.
Seventy million dollars is a con-
sentative estimate Of orders which
came to Canada as the direct result
OF the war. Governments of the al
lies have been placing large orders in
Canada and buying huge quantities OF
supplies for cash.
The total value OF exports to Eu-
rope from Canada has jumped about
Is per cent since the war started,
while In certain lines the increases
have been enormous
Therefore the results OF the demand
OF the allies for war and other material
