Beauty Chats By Edna Kent FORBES
Beauty Hints For Housewives

SEVERAL CHATS recently have been d.
rected at the woman who does all
her own homework, and who COM
plains that the strain and the monot-
Ony of it is destroying her youth and
her looks.
I have always argued that house
work will only harm her If she works
wrongly OF unintelligently, or if she
neglects a few details that will over
come the possible harm of the work.
Dishwashing can be done without
immersing the hands-even If one
cannot afford a dishwashing machine.
Scrubbing-the worst evil Of house
work-can be done the same way
The girl in the picture has evidently
decided that kneeling down with
mop is too hard-though even it can
be made a beauty exercise-sO she
mops her floors in the most efficient
and least tiresome manner-no
stopping, since the mop handle is
long.
Now, it Is not necessary to scrub
floors in an antiquated manner.
Wooden pals come with a simple ar
rangement at the side, and a long
handled mop. After the mop has
been soaked in the water, you close
up this little arrangement by press
ing the foot on a pedal, squeeze the
mop by it, and do all your scrubbing
this way. Or-get a large brush
with a long handle attached-yOu
can scrub the floor without bending
over, and get more force into your
work. Your hands need not touch
the water, and your floors will be
quite as clean, whether you scrub
them this new way, or mop them
with the long-handled mop. Scrub
bling paint, Of course, will make it
necessary to use the old-time brush
but in this case you can wear rub
Der gloves and keep the hands dry
while in and out of the water. And
remember, when done with hard
work, to rub a little cold cream into
the hands, to overcome any effect
being too long in water would have.

Soy Beans.

Clemson College, s. c., June s..
A great demand for protein food
for hogs is developing now that the
packing house is a certainty In this
State.
The soy bean contains more pro.
tein than cotton seed meal, and is
not only a substitute for cotton
seed meal for balancing the ration
for the beef cattle, dairy cattle. and
horses. but can be fed to hogs with
out the danger that accompanies
feeding cotton seed meal to swine.
The straw resulting from thresh-
ing the whole plant makes a fair
roughage for beef and dairy cattlo,
and equals or exceeds corn stover
In feed value for horses. AS a feed
for hogs, balanced ration COM
posed of soy beans or soy bean
meal with corn or corn meal, fur.
nishes an ideal ration for growing
or fattening hogs. The whole bean
grazed in the field by fattening
swine is a cheap food which gives
pork at minimum cost and q
handsome profit
Soy beans may be planted in 26
to 90 inch rows. fertilized with 200
to 400 pounds of 16 per cent. acid
phosphate. planting 2 to 8 pecks per
acre. and should produce Is to 80
bushels per acre on an average.
They are easily cultivated by run
ming a weeder or drag harrow
across the rows both before and
after termination to destroy weeds
or grass. after which a spring tooth
cultivator may be used astride the
row until the beans are 10 inches
high, when they may be sided with
a sweep, harrow or cultivator until
layed by.
If harvested for seed, a grain har-
vester may be used to bind them
into bundles as grain is harvested,
and the bundles stood up to dry,
when they may be hauled to
grain thresher and threshed by
lowering the breast of the machine.
The straw may be fed as a roughage
for all livestock, and the beans fed
or sold for seed. Handled thus, this
crop may be utilized for soil con-
servation, for livestock development
and for money crop.
With less cost Of fertilizer and
less cost of labor, twice to three
times the acreage of beans may be
produced and the soil left in better
following beans than after
cotton, and equally as much, if not
more, profit realized than from cot
ton.
When the soy. bean crop becomes
general in our crop rotation, the
price of beans will fall to where the
oil mills will utilize this product
make a profit on the oil, and furnish
an excellent by-product in the meal
for both feed and fertilizers, if not
wholesome and nutritious human
food
Try some soy beans.
