Making C Rose Pillop.

"I have a large quantity of rose petals. VIII you kindly send me recipe for rose beads? Also give me directions for mak- ing a rose pillow. A. R."
 So many recipes for making rose beads and beads of every sort have been printed in the paper within the last few months that I am afraid I am not justified in re- beating them again just yet. But will put your address on file and will be glad to give 1t to any one who will send you recipe for the beads. As to the rose pill low, my only idea of how to make it would be to prepare rose potpourri by the in- structions given a few weeks back and mingle this with dried rose leaves to make a pillow. Has any one more explicit di- rections that these? If so. shall be happy to receive them and to print them.

Trping 10 MoRe a Home.

T am on a homestead of sixty acres I am trying to prove up in order to make home, so that some day my two little girls and three larger (but still little) boys can have a place all their own. We worked so hard in the city and could save nothing, so that this seemed the only way Sometimes I get blue even about this, and as we have no water to amount to anything we haven't raised many veg etables this year. Some days we even went without bread to eat, and then I thought I would indeed give up. but we stayed on until something turned up. I have raised thirteen acres of barley hay this year and I wonder if some one would trade me good COW in exchange for six or seven acres of hay. I have such a heavy crop and I have not any stock or chickens or money to buy them, and I would be so glad to trade hay for them. Often people in the city have a pretty good old horse for which they don't care to buy food and would let him go cheap, but have no money. I do want a COW so badly, for the children are little and need milk. If this letter helps me and the hay would be of good to any one I Corner. I own an incubator that would exchange for good old plug horse. We live eleven miles from the town and have no way to get our groceries or our mail but to walk there and back, which means twenty-two miles. really. So you see that homesteading without money or stock is pretty hard job. If some one would send me some vegetables or string beans I think I would be ready to faint with joy. haven't seen any this season.
 MRs. M. A. P"
 I have always felt that homesteading was pretty hard job" but this letter gives a new aspect of the situation and rouses my deepest sympathies. When I think of how some of us complain over little troubles that come our way and then reflect on the trials which must beset woman who has five young children for whom she Is striving to gain home In the midst of such difficulties, I feel as if 1t were somehow the duty of all of us to lend hand h Tightening her burden. I don't know if the COW will be forthcom- ing, but I do know tho Cornerites, and I am sure some of them will make, an effort to brighten her lard life and render 1t a trifie easier for her. I have her name on file and will gladly supply it.

As 1t Is getting to the time to can fruf I write to tell you how put up peaches 1 peel them and cut them in halves anl put them into pan set on the stove Then I let them come to boil and keel stirring so that all may become heate' together. They must not be allowed t boil long time. When they strike gooi boil pull the pan to the back of the stow and can the peaches at once. The juc from the fruit will be as clear as crysta and really thick. I put up a lot of frui every year and great many peas am beans. and they always keep fine.

 A recipe that is the result of persona experience Is always more valuable thai one based on theory alone. Let me add t. the foregoing instructions that the jar should be at hand, clean and hot, the top and the rubbers in good order, and tn cans should be closed as soon as the frui and the juice are in them. Then, whel the fruit has cooled, another turn shoub be given to the tops to tighten them

Reserve Fleet.

Secretary of the Navy Daniels, when
asked on September 81, concerning the
statement in daily paper that three
battleships, the Wisconsin, Ohio and
Missouri, were to be taken from the
first line of battleships onOctober 4 and
sent TO the Reserve Fleet because there
are not enough trained men available
to man them, stated that the Wisconsin
has been in the Reserve Fleet since May
81, 1910; the Missouri since May ., 1910
and the Ohio since April is, 1914
The Wisconsin and Missouri were.
therefore, assigned to the Reserve
Fleet before he became. Secretary of the
Navy, and the Ohio a very few months
afterwards. The Wisconsin was au-
thorized June 10, 1896; and the Ohio
nd the Missouri May 4, 1S9S,,and under

LIEUT.. J. S. HULINGS, U. S. N.
DESIGNS A SUBMARINE.
Believes His Invention VIII RevoIu-
tiOnize Submarine Warfare---De-
ScriptiOn of the Vessel

Lieut.. Joseph S. Hulings, L. 5. n, a
son of Representative Willis J. Hulings,
of Pennsylvania, has designed a sub
mersible which he says. may revolu-
tionize submarine warfare
Lieutenant Hulings was graduated
from the Naval Academy in 1908 and
has devoted much time to the opera
tion and construction of undersea craft.
He says that his boat is of such weight
as to be readily hoisted to the deck of a
large ship; has a speed Of q knots
submerged can be lowered and mann
ed by one man: has a cruising radius
of $50 miles; cannot sink unless it
leaks, and will prove more important
to a hattleghip than her big guns.
SO far said Lieutenant Hulings, there
has been no means of exhausting en-
gine gases, running submerged. and
consequently it has been necessary to
provide 4 storage battery and an cleo
trio motor to provide for propulsion
Of the boat In order TO make space
for that extra power unit and accom-
modate heavier mochincry for increas-
ed speed, it has been necessary 70 in
crease materially the-size of the sub
marine from time TO time
In the construction Of a submarine,
the lieutenant added,so much space and
weight are allotted to the motive ma
chinery, and when that space has to be
divided into two units it is impossible
TO obtain the horsepower which one
unit would give were it allowed the
same space. In Lieutenant Hulings
proposed craft only one unit viii be
used, distillate engine exhuasting
under patented system Of his own.
