Under normal conditions the proper
care of the hair is very simple. The
objects to be kept in mind are to pre-
serve it's natural luster and texture by
means of absolute cleanliness and to
massage the scalp sufficiently to re-
move any dandruff that may adhere to
it and thereby promote the active cir
culation Of the blood. All this must
be done without injury to the scalp or
the hair by pulling, scratching or tear
ing. Cutting the hair frequently has
a tendency, especially in youth, to
thicken the individual hairs and pro-
mote their growth. Neither this nor
any other known process, however,
tends to increase the actual number of
hairs. All claims to the contrary are

Professional hairdressers do not ad-
vOcate shampooing the hair oftener
than once month A thorough
brushing. once or twice a week is re-
garded by them as sufficient for clean
illness and as much more beneficial to
the hair and scalp:
Much contradictory advice has been
given on the subject of brushing the
hair, some persons saying that stiff
brushes should be used and. the scalp
and hair brushed by means Of them
with a good deal of vigor, others rec
Ommending soft brushes and a very
moderate amount Of friction. These
differences are probably due to differ
ent views Of the objects to be attained
by brushing. One object is to promote
the health of the scalp and hence to
give strength and yigor to the hair.
For this purpose brushes with hard,
stiff bristles may be used with consid-
cradle vigor provided the skin is not
injured. The other object is to smooth
the hair and free it, from dust. For
this purpose brushes may be soft and
used with very moderate pressure
Care should be taken on the one
hand not to scratch the scalp, tear the
roots Of the hair or cause it to split,
and on the other not to neglect the
stimulating effects Of massaging the
scalp and removing dandruff.

The plan followed at the experiment
station Is to place the hen in this kind
of coop on the day after she remains
on the nest and does not lay. She is
kept in the coop four days and then
released. During the time she is left
in the coop size is given all the feed
and water she wants. About 1000
hens are treated in this way each sum-
mer at this place. The records show
that hens broken in this way begin
laying again as follows:
The time from the laying the last
egg till the hen began laying again was
ten days in March, eight days in April,
ten days in May and twelve days in
June. There were more broody hens
in June than in April, but for practical
purposes we might say the average is
ten days. = Bulletin Missouri Expert

great When the pairing IS done before
the boiling as when it Is done after
ward. The skin tends to hold back
the mineral salts. the protein and the
starch. Since the juice of the potato
contains IS per cent of the protein and
SIS per cent Of the ash. these sub
stances are easily extracted without
this protection. Only the Skin comes
off after cooking, and it peels Off with
much greater ease; there is thus a saw
ing Of both nutriment and time in
removing the skin after cooking
If potatoes are pared somewhat in
advance Of the time of cooking it is
noticed that on standing they become
dark. In order to overcome this diff
Guilty the potatoes are covered with
water and allowed to stand until it is
time to cook them. Old potatoes are
often soaked in cold water Expert
ments have shown that a pared potato
soaked for from three to five hours
! loses about three times as much of its
mineral matter and seven times as
much of its protein as one that is pared
and put on to cook Immediately. If old
potatoes must be soaked in order to
improve their condition let It be with
the skins on.
Another factor influencing loss of
nutriment is the temperature Of the
water in which the potatoes are put on
to cook. Here again experiments prove
that there has been waste of the mate
! rails for which money has been spent.
In this case the use Of cold water In
stead of boiling water at the beginning
gives an inconsiderable loss of ash, but
over twice as great loss of protein.
Cook in boiling water,
In other words, when potatoes are
cooked by the most wasteful method
(skins removed, potatoes soaked, cook
ing started in cold water) the loss of
protein is 81 per cent and that of ash
| Is 80 per cent. When cooked by the
least wasteful method (skins not re-
moved, potatoes not soaked, cooking
started in boiling water) the loss Of
protein is 1.6 per cent and that of ash
is 40 per cent.
| The following conclusions, then. are
inevitable: First, potatoes should be
cooked in such way as to retain the
valuable nutritive matter. or, second.
! the material extracted from them
should be used in soups, sauces, era
vies and the like.
