Sewing Hint.

Tailor's tacks are excellent guides
for the home sewer and may be used
when one is basting two sides of a
garment so as to have them exactly
alike. With double thread of basting
cotton-choose a distinguishable col
or-stitch through the two thick
nesses of your cloth with one long
stitch and two short stitches, leaving
the long stitch loose enough to form
a loop, under which the finger may be
placed. Repeat wherever you have
chalk marks. Take hold of the two
edges of the cloth and gently sepa-
rate the two pieces so the stitches
will hold them together and can be
plainly seen. Cut the stitches as
they show. This will leave a few
threads in each piece of cloth telling
just where the cloth is to be sewed,
and it will help you SO much to find
both pieces are just exactly alike.

Edible Weeds.

Dandelion is great liver medicine
but can be taken in green's and salads
instead of from a bottle and with bet
ter results. Instead of giving the chill
dren molasses and sulphur in spring
why not let them eat plenty of young
onions? Good bread and butter with
onions for the school luncheon is
much better for the child than pie and
cake. By eating cabbage and cauli-
flower later on we can supply the sys-
tenn with sulphur.
How many housewives make use of
the milkweed as an edible vegetable?
The flavor of the cooked milkweed is
almost like asparagus, and it is said
to be a nutritious food, a cleanser of
the system and perfect tonic for the
kidneys. The milkweed should be
cooked when about a foot high, as it
becomes tough and is not of good fla
vOr after the blossoms appear. The
young tender leaves can be used in
salad. Cook this weed like asparagus

Waste of Breath,

1t is waste of breath to argue with
a person who is out of temper, the ar.
gument was never yet put into words
which could convince anyone in that
state. 1t is waste of breath to tell
a woman to be sensible" when she is
nervous and overstrung: cheer her UP
by admiring her hair or her ba By, or
her new hat. and take her out to
luncheon. II is waste of breath to ex-
pect mother-in-law to see all the
good points of her sons choice: give
her time to get used to the new con-
dItions of things, and make excuses
for her, remembering that her heart
is sore.

Tells How to
Cook Vegetables

In recent bulletin on 1.-THE Cook
ing of Vegetables" by Miss Louise
Stanley, associate professor of home
economics at the University of Mis-
court, Miss Stanley points out that
the chief reason for cooking vegeta-
bles is to make them more digestible
by softening the cellulose and by
causing the starch to swell and as
sumo a gelatinous consistency.
When starch is changed in this way
it is said to be hydrolized. Hydrol-
lied starch is digestib1e; raw starch
is indigestible. Those vegetables
which have no starch or relatively
small amounts of cellulose can be eat
en- raw.
Miss Stanley further emphasizes
that many housekeepers make the
mistake of boiling vegetables in a
large amount of water and draining
off the water in which mineral salts
and sugar from the vegetables are
present. When the water containing
these constituents is drained off, a
large amount of the nutritive value of
the vegetable is lost. The most seri-
Gus waste in throwing away the water
in which the vegetable has been cook
ed is the loss of mineral matter which
is necessary to build bone and pre-
vent the decay of teeth. 1t is desir-
able that strong-favored vegetables
lose a part of their flavor. Fully as
satisfactory as the method of pouring
off water is the plan OF cooking the
vegetables in an uncovered vessel and
allowing part of the flavor to pass
off in steam.

Cake Hints.

A good pinch of salt improves any
cake
Hall water instead of milk, makes
lighter cake.
If your cake rises in a mountain in
the middle the reason is your dough
was too thick
If it goes down in the middle your
dough was too rich, too much sugar.
The cause Of large holes in cakes IS
too much baking powder.
To sprinkle flour in creased pans
prevents cake from sticking.
A pan of water in the bottom of the
oven keeps the bottom of a cake from
burning.
A paper over the tin keeps the top
from burning.

To Dry and Polish Glass.

An inexpensive and very good cloth
for drying and polishing silver and
glass may be obtained at any depart
ment store. Procure half dozen
small turkish towels. You will find
that they not only quickly and com.
pletely absorb the moisture, but that
the rough cloth is invaluable as &
polisher of both silver and glass, and
1t rduces the labor OF rubbing to
minimum.

Household Hints.

The odor of fresh paint may be re-
moved from room by simply stand
ing pail of wafer in an inconspicu
GUS place. The water should be re-
newed every three or four hours.
White marks on a polished table
caused by hot dishes or water may be
removed by rubbing camphorated oil
well into the wood.

An Ironino Hint

When ironing a skirt or blouse hav-
ing row of buttons, fold turkish
towel into several thicknesses and lay
the garment, buttons down, on It.
Iron on the wrong side and it will be
smoothly finished, the buttons sink
ing into the soft folds Of the towel.

USES FOR HONEY
CAKES MADE WITH 1T KEEP
LONGER-BOILlNG AND SKIM.
MING UNNECESSARY,

LONGER-BoiLING AND SKIM.
MING UNNECESSARY.
Various ways in which the house
| wife can use honey to advantage are
suggested in a new publication of the
epartment-Farmers' Bulletin 653,
Honey and it's uses in the home" In
this country honey has hitherto not
been in common use as in Europe,
especially in cookery. 1t is, however,
comparatively simple matter to sub
stitute it in many receipts for CON-
mon sugar or for molasses, and when
this is done the resulting flavor is
often both novel and agreeable.
One of the great advantages in the
use of honey is that cakes made with
it will keep much longer than those
made with sugar. A honey cake made
with butter, for instance, will keep it's
quality until the butter grows rancid,
and one made without butter will
son useful receipts that call for no
butter. Icing made with honey has
the same advantage, and some icing
made in the experimental laboratory
of the Department of Agriculture was
found at the end of 10 months to be
as soft and in as good condition as
when it was first made.
Honey is marketed in two forms,
known respectively as comb honey
and extracted honey, the former be-
ing used much like jam or marnlalade
and the latter either in that way or
for cooking. In the past there has
been some prejudice against extract
ed honey-or honey removed from
the comb-because it was believed
that this was frequently adulterated.
However prevalent this practice may
have been in the past, recent legisla-
ton and the efforts of honey produc-
ers themselves have made it danger
GUS and Improbable. There is now,
it is believed, little adulterated ex-
tracted honey on the market. Comb
honey is practically certain to be the
pure product of the hive, because it
can only be adulterated by processes
which cost more than they save.
When sold at retail there is now COM
paratively little difference in the cost
of comb and extracted honey, but the
latter can be purchased at wholesale
very much cheaper. The reason for
this is that the producer of comb
honey makes product which is prac.
tically ready to be delivered to the
consumer. Moreover, it costs the bee
keeper less to produce extracted hon
ey, while the wholesaler who purchas.
es extracted honey has several pro-
cesses to go through with before he
can sell it at retail. If the house
wife is willing to do these herself, |
she can effect considerable saving.

To Save Candles.

If you would have your candles last
almost twice as long as they usually
do, try the following plan: Hold
each candle by the wick and give 1t
a coat of white varnish. Then put the
candles away for a day or two to
harden. The varnish prevents the
grease from running and preserves
the life Of the candle many hours.

A Time Saver.

Before laundering undergarments
run with ribbon. catch one end of the
ribbon to piece of narrow tape, then
pull out the ribbon and let the tape
remain run through the beading until
after the garment is washed and
ironed.

Seed Corn Days for Farm Clubs.

Farmers clubs can do nothing
better at this time to justify their
existence than to make it their Sep
TENDER work to see that every men,
Der has asupply of seed corn for next
year. The seed corn situation should
be carefully considered at the next
regular club meeting, or at special
meeting if need be- 49,
If possible in each community a
field that has matured corn should
be chosen, and a Seed Corn Day set
aside. On this day all members of
the local club should 60 into their
own fields, or into the community
field chosen, and select sufficient
seed corn for next year.
A picnic and general jolli6cation
may be made out of the occasion,
and with this a boys and girls seed
selection contest might be carried
out. In this way all the club mem
bers might spend pleasant day to-
gether and each 60 home with
enough seed corn for next years
planting, which compared with seed
corn than can be purchased will
really be worth ten or more dollars
per bushel. D. Wilson, Director
of Agricultural Extension Division,
