FaMD THE QUALITY OF EGGS
Sorneii Agricultural Experiment Sta
fiea Recommends Gambling as
the Best Method.

Tho quality OF eggs depends not al
together upon the length Of time they
have been kept, but quite as much
moon the conditions to which they
heye been subjected between the time
Of aaJfng and Of their final use. More
oger, the quality Of an egg may be af-
Hectsd to some extent by the foods
eaten by the hen which lays it, and
Possibly by the season of the year
when it is laid.
Au these points and many others
are discussed in bulletin on the in
terror quality of market eggs, issued
By the Cornell agricultural exeri-
1rcnt station, which explains the proc
ess Of egg production and the struc-
1rre Of the normal egg. 1t tells also
how the interior quality OF market
eggs may be studied and advocates
cand1ing as the best method. 1t gives
directions for Gambling and instruo-
esnns for making Gambling devices.

LOCATION OF MILK IN A cow
Secretory Glands Take Raw Materials
From the Blood and Manufacture
Them Into Product.

In the system Of the dairy cow theta
are two kinds of glands: excl eto +
glands and secretory glands. A goGd
example of the excretory gland is tllp
kidney. An excretory gland does NV
manufacture, but simply serves as b
vehicle for transferring waste from
the body.
The secretory glands are manufac.
turers. They take the raw materials
from the blood and manufacture th"tn
into a special product. The mammesy
gland, located il the upper part Of
the udder Of the cow, Is secretory
gland. It takes the raw materials
from the blood and manufactures milk.
The large veins seen under the abb
domen of the cow do not contain milk,
as great many people suppose. They
contain impure blood. This blood Is
returning to the heart. It has passed
through the mammary gland of the
cow, deposited the food material and
absorbed the waste.
As fast as the milk is manufactured
from the blood, It is stored in the
udder OF the cow. The milk is being
manufactured all the time that the
COW Is fed and cared for. She works
day and night. So far as known milk
Is not manufactured any faster during
milking than 1t is any other time, but
the process Of milk manufacture con.
tinues, and ts in proportion to the Size
and quality Of the mammary gland,

DAHLlAs FROM SEED.

How They Can Be Started and Trans

For several years l have had grand
success raising dahlias from seed,
starting them in a box or pan in the
house as soon as April 1 and trans
planting them in the garden as soon
as the ground is warm enough-usually
about the last Of May, at which time
they will have four or six leaves.
From packet of mixed seeds have
had as many as eight different colors,
ranging from snowy white to darkest
crimson, besides some beautifully strip
ed and variegated. They were the ad-
miration of all beholders, says writ
er in Farm and Home.
Should there be few single ones
(as there probably will be) they are by
no means to be despised, as they are
nice for cut flowers. Set them out
along the side Of the house or each
side Of the door, where you can see
them as you go about your daily vo-
cations, and you will be more than
satisfied with the results. Water them
with the water from the weekly wash,
as they are greatly benefited by fire.

If they are not joy forever" they

HOW
To Make Shabby or Old
Furniture Look New

~ LID furniture looks shabby in the
spring, when almost everything
else Is fresh and clean, but 1t
can be made like new with the
expenditure of a little time and money.
First the old finish must be taken on
the furniture. This may be done with
a varnish remover, which may be pur-
chased at a hardware store. Two
quarts will remove the varnish from
all the furniture in the average living
room. This remover should be applied
with q brush or a cloth and allowed to
stand for few minutes. 1t must then
be rubbed or scraped off. After this
the scraper should be used until the
wood is reached, because a varnish
will not take stain.
If the wood is an open grain piece.
such as chestnut, walnut or oak, filler
must be used to make a smooth sur
face. This may be bought or prepared
at home. The formula for the prepa-
ration Is as follows: One pound Of corn
starch and three-fourths pint of boiled
linseed oil or turpentine colored with
burned lumber or lampblack. After the
stain and the filler have been applied
the wood may be covered with floor
or furniture varnish or wax. If
wax finish is desired the stain should
be put on and allowed to stand until
the next day, when the wax or varnish
may be applied. Wax is the preferable
finish since it does not gather up the
dust particles so readily as the varnish
and is more easily applied.

On Being Natural.

The world has established certain
standards of etiquette for those who
would be recognized as well bred and
cultured. The earlier in life these
standards are adopted the better for
the woman. Fortunate, indeed. is she
who has cultivated early in life soft
voice, poise. grace of carriage and the
pretty" way Of doing things. She
need have no fear that In moment of
excitement she will forget herself and
be guilty Of a faux pas.
Absolutely destructive Of naturalness
in manner is self consciousness. This
affliction amounts at times almost to
an obsession. 1t causes women to
shout who wish to speak low; 1t leads
often to an assumption of bravado.
causing criticism that may be unjust,
but is invited and unavoidable.
It is gentle art, the art Of being
natural; one that is essential to every
woman who wishes to be regarded as
interesting, attractive and popular. No
woman with an ounce of brains will
allow herself to become the victim of
affectation If she would get the most
that is possible out of life.

YOUR NEW BUNGALOW.
Hints About Furnishing the Small
Summer Cottage.

Hints About Furnishing the Small
Summer Cottage.
There are many houses in excellent
taste and more or less modern where
the latest novelties in painted ware,
furniture and the like are decidedly out
of place, but just picture dear little
bungalow on squatty. colonial lines
aching to be furnished with just these
odd little painted bits of brightness.
If the hall seems bit somber you
may set on the table besides the white
candle base lamp painted with birds
and flowers and topped with a colored
silk shade, white rack of tin for let
ters. At first you might think it a
toast rack, but you wouldn't want to
put toast between flowers and birds
in gaudy coloring. It's just the re-
ceptacle, however. for exciting things
like letters.
Near a side door on a small table or
from hook on the wall place bright
green painted tin basket to hold the
gardening tools. A garden hat of Gre
tonne may hang from it. They will
help in the decorative scheme.
In the sunniest window of the living
or dining room you may have a white
wicker flower stand. 1t is fitted with
a tin trough which lifts out for re-
filling, watering of the plants. etc. An
arch of white wicker extends over this
box, and one can just imagine a small
climbing rose finding it's way along this
trellis. A white bird cage is suspended
in the middle directly above the plant
box. where silver throated canary
may trill his loudest among the plants
and flowers.
Right in the same living room or on
the porch one may tuck this mending
basket without any fear of its jarring
on the artistic and critical eye. It is
a nice, plump market basket Of stout
wicker, rather round as to shape. Two
flaps of stifened cretonne are edged
with a cotton braid and maybe lifted
up like the lids Of market basket.
This will be found dustproof hiding
place for mending or light sewing when
the outdoors beckons.
