Method by Which the Prlzed Table

Every housekeeper takes pride in

cases, will 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
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 Mason
jar the use of the galvanized pan be-
comes unnecessary and any kind of q
pan may be used.

HINTS ABOUT FLOWERS

We usually think Of pruning only
when a plant is asleep. 1t is true, that
the easiest pruning should be done
then, but there is much that we can
do during the summer to keep plant
in good condition.
The lilac is usually the best pruned
shrub we have, for the simple reason
that we are apt to pick every bloom.
The plant cannot Of course then make
any seeds and the strength is thrown
into new wood where it belongs.
Rose bushes should be treated the
same way. A second bloom can. be
produced on wistaria by following this
rule and cutting head Of each runner.
Along towards the middle Of sum-
mer you will notice new, very strong
shoots coming upon your plants. When
they reach an even height with the rest
of the plant nip out the tip and leaves
with your thumb and finger and thus
make the shoot send out some side

MEETING THE NEEDS OF ALL
important Point In Housekeeping
Which, the Mother Will 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 matter of individual judg.
ment and observation based upon an
understanding of the general prin-
ciples of we'll 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 pud-
ding provided for adults, but when the
more elaborate dish appears upon the
table, rather special pains should be
taken to provide dainty and tempt
ing dessert fer 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 it
was a hard thing to be little boy or
girl when grownups eat just what they
please.

RAISE GOOD CALVES

Whey has food value we'll worth
saving. Its chemical food analysis
compared with skim milk, is as fol-
lows:
Skim milk. 80 per cent protein;
So per cent carbohydrates; O.3 per
cent fat. Whey, O.8 per cent pro-
tein; ~ per cent carbohydrates; 0.3
per cent fat.
1t will be seen that whey is not as
valuable as skim milk, but that 1t
has a very appreciable value, never.
theless. However. whey has a wider
Rutritive ratio than skim milk, that
of whey being 1.67, while that of skim
milk is 1.2. This fact must be taken
into consideration in feeding whey II
one gets its full food value. Oil meal
gluten feed, etc., food rich in protein
should be fed with whey, while corn
meal. barley meal, faxseed meal, etc.
should be fed with skim milk. In this
way one can balance the ration and
get the full food value of such prod
ucts, while If they are fed alone, salts
factory results cannot be obtained.
You can raise good calves or pigs
on whey If you will feed oil meal ant
gluten meal with It, but II fed alon,
it does not contain the food nutrient,
in proper proportion. hence does no
give satisfactory results. It is saf'
to say that whey is worth half al
much as skim milk for feed.

KEEP LAWN WELL ROLLED

To make a good lawn the soil re.
auires frequent rolling. In the first
place good lawn cannot be produced
In one. two or three years, that is, a
perfect lawn, without depression and
with soil surface as smooth as a
door.
A lawn roller can be made, without
much expense, from cement, using
gas pipe for the axle and frame. The
form for setting the cement may be
of wood, using very narrow stats or
galvanized iron. In case the latter is
used, the form may be left on the
roller, and if it is kept dry and pro.
tected from the weather, it will last a
long time.
A handy size for lawn roller is
one about 20 inches long by IA inches
In diameter. If one has the proper
tools, which consist of a wise and a
thread-cutting tool, roller can be
made in short time, and at very
little expense.

ALFALFA FOR HOG

Early Spring Until Autumn
at Iowa Station.

Alfalfa pasture produced the cheap.
est gains on pigs ever secured at the
Iowa station. In 1911 alfalfa pasture,
with grain ration Of ear corn plus a
small amount of meat meal, produced
gains at a cost of $2.ss per 100 pounds,
considering corn worth so cents a
bushel.
Alfalfa furnished good grazing from
early spring until late autumn. 1t was
pastured from May z to November 25
constantly, a period of 1913 days. I'm

When little buds begin to shoot at
