The Cook Says.

If your market basket or clothes basket of willow shows a few loose ends, put 1t 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 CT try to bend the willow strips while they are dry, as they will be surs to snap of.
 A putty knife. with It's short handle and broad blade, is an indispensable tool in the kitchen. It can be used for turning hash. fritters and fish. It's broad end Is also most useful in scrap. ing pots and pans.

SYRUP 0F FIGS FOR
 4 CH|LD'S BOWELS
It is cruel to force nauseating, harsh physic into a
 sick child,

Look back at your childhood days. Remember the dose" mother insisted on - castor oil, calomel, cathartics. How you hated them, how you fought against taking them.
 With our children it's different. Mothers who cling to the old form of physic simply don't realize what they do. The children's revolt is well-found- ed. Their tender little "insides' are injured by them.
 If your child's stomach, liver and bowels need cleansing, give only deli cious California Syrup of Figs" It's action is positive, but gentle. Millions of mothers keep this harmless fruit laxative" handy; they know children love to take 1t; that 1t never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweet en the stomach. and that teaspoonful given today saves sick child tomor- row.
 Ask at the store for a 60-cent bottle of California Syrup of Figs" which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on each bottle. Adv.

weeks after the rye has ripened. They should then be allowed to gather the entire crop and to graze upon the it.
 Field No. is devoted entirely to hog pasture. When clover and tim othy are planted together. the hogs graze principally on the clover and leave most of the timothy to be cut for hay In the flve-year rotation. how ever. field No. 5 Is depended upon to furnish the principal supply of hay for the horses and COWS. There should be some surplus and this, of course, can be sold. Late in the fall the field Is plowed for first year corn. and in the following spring 1t takes its place in the rotation as field No. 1.
 Under such a system hogs furnish the principal income. They are turned in on the rye as early as possible in the spring and there they remain as long as the pasture is tender. al though the brood sows should be taken to other inclosures as soon as the spring pigs can be weaned, and there bred for fall litters Early in May when the rye probably ceases to afford good pasture the hogs are turned into field No. 4, devoted to 'first-year clover and timothy. With the addition of a reasonably liberal corn ration they feed on this until the middle of July, or two weeks after the rye has ripened, when they are turned back into the rye field and allowed to hog it all down without other feed. By the time the rye Is harvested the corn in field No. 1 is ready for the hogs If none of the stock is sold before, the hogs will gather all the corn by Mo- vember 1. In this way with practical ly no labor and very little attention the entire herd is furnished with pas ture and grain feed throughout the entire spring, summer and fall. In addition, there is the corn from field No. ?, which is harvested and not hogged down, and the surplus hay from fields No. and 5.
 Under this system. the only time when outside labor is indispensable is during the hay harvest. On farm of a hundred acres it is not probable that this will amount to more than ten days hired labor, which is certainly much less than is required by the sys- tems of farm management in more general use. AS for the cash income, it may be said that roughly speaking rye ultimately brings the same re- turns. whether it is hogged down or cut and threshed and sold. In the latter case. however. there is all the cost of labor to be considered. To save this. is the main object of the system described.

TIME FOR SELLING PIG CROP
Materials and Development of Bone, Muscle and visor.

The best time to sell the pigs de- bends upon the price of feeding ma. terials that may be utilized in growing them and developing their bone, mus cle and vigor. and preparing them for the fattening period. When we have plenty of forage. skim milk and other homegrown foods, We often find 1t ad- vantageous to allow them a longer period of growth than when we feed an exclusive grain diet Market de. mands are for medium-sized hog, with plenty of lean meat; strong. but not too coarse bone; plenty of activity and strength to stand up we'll during shipment.
 Fall pigs. as rule. are less profit able unless the feeder can utilize what would otherwise be waste feed in keep ing them through the winter Pigs that make good gains during the win. ter, and can be put on pasture in the spring, and then fattened in the fall, often make good gains during the longer periods. and cash in fine profits in the fall. On account of coming to maturity at the best time to breed for spring filters, we have found fall far rowed sows very desirable for breed ing purposes. The second season gives them the bone and muscle develop ment at very low cost.
 Warm drinking water, light, warm and dry quarters, succulent food with frequent change of breeding and diet, will insure good growth during the winter, but unless we are in the best shape to look after these details, we find it best to conflne our feeding to spring filters. The fall pig that goes into the winter without warm place to sleep and plenty of warm, nourish- ing food. has winter of misery be- fore it.

SOME KITCHEN KINKS
METHODS THAT MAY BE NEW TO
 MANY HOUSEWIVES.
Tiles Always Best When One Can Afford Housekeeping the Dish. cloth Fresh-LinoIeum for the
 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 flat against the wall. This is easily cleaned daily with little dry brickdust.
 The tiles, of course, are ideal, as all they need is washdown 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 1t up. It Is shaped so that 1t 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 moro unpleasant than greasy dishcloth. To keep this inn portant article fresh and sweet, 1t should be scalded each time after use. or else washed out thoroughly in hot water and rinsed well in several wa. ters.
 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 1t from boiling away.
 Plenty of hot water is essential for dish washing. Collect all the silver. Place the knives blade downward in a 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 If the sun shines on wet window no amount of rub ping will prevent it from being streaky when dry. Avoid frosty day, too, as the glass is apt to break easily then. Dust the windows thoroughly Wash the glass with sponge wrung out in tepid water with a few drops of ammonia in 1t. Dry with a clean cloth (with no fuff on it). Polish with pads of newspaper.

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture)
 The familiar practice of hogging off crops has been developed by experts in the United States department of agriculture into scientific system of farm management which, 1t is said, will minimize, in those sections and those farms to which 1t Is adapted, the cost of harvest labor
 Reduced to its simplest terms this system, which is described in full in Farmers Bulletin No. 614. "A Corn Belt System of Farming Which Saves Harvest Labor by Hogging Down Crops" consists of four or flve-year rotation of corn. corn. rye and mix ture of clover and timothy one or two years. A farm managed on this sys- tenn should consist of four or five fields of from 20 to 40 acres each, and it is desirable that all the fields should be of approximately the same size. Farms should be laid out in ac. cordance with the following plan:
 1. Corn-First year to be hogged off
 ?. Corn-Second year to be cut and rye sown.
 3. Rye and Young clover-Hossed or l. Clover and Timothy-Hog pastured
 s. Timothy and Clover-For hay or pas ture.
 Above is plan of farm run on five year rotation.
 In field No. 1 the first year corn Is grown and hogged of as soon as it is ripe. This is generally from Septem- Der to September To- When the corn is cultivated for the last time, it is usually desirable to SOW soy beans or rape, in order that the hogs may have pasturage while gathering the corn, and also because such crop supplies valuable humus which can be turned back into the soil In the following spring this field is prepared for sec ond-year corn and becomes field No. ? in the illustration.
 Field No. is. as we have seen. de voted to Second year corn, which is not hogged off but harvested by hand. Here rye is sown in the fall. Under favorable conditions this can be done while the corn is still standing, but if necessary it is not too late after the corn has been cut and shocked. Rye may be sown much later than wheat, and this is one of its great advantages in rotation such as is now being de- scribed.
 Field No. 3 is devoted to rye throughout the entire season. In the spring it is pastured by the hogs as long as it is palatable, affording excel lent pasturage, especially for young hogs and brood sows. When the rye becomes tough and the hogs cease to relish it, they should be removed and not returned to the field until two

GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA

Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays. by asking at any store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you will get large bottle of the famous old recipe for about 50 cents
 Don't stay gray! Try 1t! No one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw this through your hair. taking one small strand at time, by morning the gray hair disappears. and after another ap plication or two. your hair becomes beautifully dark. thick and glossy Adv.

MIDDLINGS FOR YOUNG PIGS
If Rye Can Be Purchased for Less Money Than Wheat It Will Be to
 Advantage to Feed Them.

Chemical analyses indicate that there is nearly 75 per cent more fat and slightly more protein in wheat middlings than in rye middlings, d. though feeding tests show that wheat middlings are but very little better than rye middlings. Feeding tests have shown that pigs fed on rye mid dlings are quite likely to go off feed. which is not so common an occur renee with wheat middlings. With prices the same. wheat middlings would be the better feed. but if rye middlings can be purchased for some- what less than the other. 1t will be to the feeders advantage to use them
