THINGS WORTH KNOWING

Old putty can be removed without
injury to the sash or glass by pass
ing hot soldering iron over it. The
heat of the iron softens it readily and
permits it's removal with knife or
chisel without much trouble.
When baking pie, the juice from the
fruit very often soaks through the
undercrust, and spoils the appearance
of it. This can be prevented by
by brushing the undercrust with the
white of an egg.
To deaden the sound of watch or
clock in sick room put it under
glass.
No matter how much dripping is
used, fish when being fried, is very
apt to stick to the pan bottom. To
prevent this, before using your pan,
put tablespoonful of dry salt into
it, rub well all over with greasee-
proof paper, and it will be found a
thorough success.
Celery Ralish-To make this take
six lunches of celery, fifteen toma-
toes, one red pepper, two cups of sug-
ar, two tablespoonfuls of salt and one
tablespoonful each of ground mustard,
cloves, allspice, cinnamon and celery
seed, and one and one-half cups of
vinegar. Cut off the roots and leaves
of the celery, separate the stalks and
chop them. Wipe, peel and chop the
tomatoes. Wipe and chop the pepper.
Mix the ingredients and add the vim
egar. Combine the mixture, put in a
preserving kettle, bring to boiling
point and let simmer one and one-half
hours. Fill jars to overflow and ad-

Simple Couture
Is the Best

It 10 the fashion in Paris to dress
the hair exceedingly simple. The new
est method, however, reminds one of
a bath coiffure"-the hair. slightly
waved, being drawn back closely from
the face and twisted into a careless
knot at the nape of the neck.
The couture is eminently becoming
to pretty girl with a well-shaped
head. 1t demands that the hair shall
be very silky and possessed of an ap-
parently natural ripple.
The chignon is here again. Not a
stiff bun but a soft soil, held in place
by tortoise shell pins, which lies
against the back Of the neck and there
is no parting visible in front.
The Parisiennes are also adopting
in the evening a style of headdress
which calls for the presence of highly
ornamental combs. These are COM
bined with a simple. but highly effec-
tive couture.
The hair, always slightly waved, is
drawn back over light frizette and
arranged in a series of small coils and
curls at the back of the head, not low
down. but, on the other hand. not high
up. The coils and curls cover the mid
die of the head at the back and the
comb juts out at one side.

EFFECT OF STORMS ON HENS
Day Following Blizzard Shows Big
Decrease In Eggs-Damp Houses

Every poultry breeder knows that
the day following a blizzard shows q
big decrease in egg production. The
following note from the Storrs station
will apply to all fiocks:
Last Sundays blizzard was the
worst yet, SO far as the hens are con-
cerned. The high wind found little
cracks and crevices here and there.
and drove the snow through into the
houses, thus rendering the litter no
longer fit to use. Such storms do not
lessen the high cost of keeping hens,
as dryness of the floors and of the
scratching material Is a factor of
prime importance. Many an amateur
poultryman has taken a chance on the
question of dampness. simply because
the poultry house could be construct.
ed little more cheaply, but they all
discover sooner or later that 1t is q
short sighted policy. Damp, poorly
ventilated houses are not a good in.

There are suits and one-piece frocks

True Foundation.

The feeding of the dry cows and
heifers that must build up the frames
and give constitutional vigos to the
young calves, is the true foundation Of
improved dairy cows. Yet the aver.
age dairyman feeds his pregnant COWS
and heifers the refuse of his farm. The
best hay, wheat bran and linseed oil
meal is fed to cows that are giving
milk. The very elements that are
needed by the COW at this period are
withheld.
Carbonaceous foods. which Give heat
and fat, are but little needed to sup
ply nourishment to the fetus. Simple
material to build up bone, muscle
and blood, during the rapid growth and
development is needed to nourish the
unborn calf.
