This annual wastage is of billion dollar
magnitude, according to statement of

Deep Flowing Increases Wheat Yields.

Farm and Freside, the farming paper

wheat yields have been increased

belt by deep and early blowing and disk
ing from time to time before planting
thorough preparation of the seed bed.
Wheat that followed corn or potatoes or
some other crop requiring a thorough
cultivation has yielded best in MA
jofity of cases in the spring-wheat re-
gions.
"The early and special cultivation of
the acres and the preparation of the
seed bed produces conditions favorable in
midsummer for the formation of plant
food and the conservation of moisture.
1t also destroys insect pests such as Hes
sian fly, which is In the fax seed at that
time. The cultivation prevents the evap-
grafton of moisture and gives the bac-
terial and chemical agencies a chance to
work. This results in more available
plant food. The amount of available
plant food in the soil in the fall is good I
index of the yield the following year.
"Where the rainfall is only sufficient
to grow a crop of wheat every other I
year, summer fallow accomplishes the
same thing that deep and early blowing
and disking does in the districts of great
er rainfall Summer fallow is letting
a field lie idle and keeping the surface
of the soil cultivated enough to prevent
evaporation of moisture and to assist in
the production of available plant food"

The Summer Flatiron.

In welding the fatiron over the sum-
mer frocks, lingerie and napery, a few
points must be observed.
Be careful not to iron muslin or cotton
materials when they are too dry, or they
will have a rough appearance and no
gloss. Prints and colored goods must
not be pressed with too hot an iron, or
the colors will be dulled. Embroidery
should always be ironed on the wrong
side, over padded flannel, to raise the
pattern.
To remove blisters from stiffened lin
en-, press the part with a clean, wet rag,
place the iron on the spot; then remove
it and the blister will have disappeared.
Blsters generally arise from imperfect
starching, SO care should be taken that

Disposing of Ants.

Scattering bicarbonate of soda tcom-
mon cooking soda) about ant-infested
places is said to kill the ants and clear
them from the premises.
Another remedy said to be efficient is
to get paint brush and paint under the
shelves, cracks and crevices in floor, and,
in fact 90 over all the floor with kero-
sene oil, and you will never see ants
again. Do this every spring. They start
from floors, so that if cracks and crevices
are painted they simply quit. They have
keen sense of smell.
A third scheme is to procure large
sponge, wash it well and press it dry
which will leave TN cells quite open;
then sprinkle over it some fine white
sugar and place it near where the ants
are most troublesome. They will soon
collect upon the sponge and take up
their abode in the cells. 1t is only nee
essary to dip the sponge in scalding wa
ter, which will wash them out by the
tens of thousands put on more sugar
and set the trap for new haul. This
process will clear the house of every ant

A woodbox beside the kitchen range is
great step saver. II should be set on
casters.
Colors can be set In wash material by
dissolving one tablespoonful of sugar OF
lead in two gallons of water. Let goods
stand in solution over night.
In knitting dishcloths il is a good plan
TO put in several rows of hard twisted
cord. This hard portion will clean many
surfaces on which IL is not advisable TO
use securing soaps or metal.
When using paraffine for covering jel-
lies possibly you have been troubled by
seeing the preserve work up at the sides
of the glass. To prevent this be sure TO
tip the glass slightly all around while
the paraifine is hot; then all air spaces
will be filled in and the old trouble
avoided.
To remove stains from wall paper mix
a little grated pipeclay with enough wa
ter TO make a smooth paste, spread this
over the stain and leave for IL hours.
Afterwards scrape off with paper knife
or other blunt instrument and brush
with soft brush. No trace OF the stain
will remain.
Keep salt bags for storing seeds from
your garden. They are the handiest
things to use for that purpose, or for
storing bulbs. After the bag is emptied
of salt boil it carefully and dry IL. Hem
the top and insert drawstring of cord
or tape. Write the name Of the seeds
or bulbs on piece of tape and haste this
tape on the bag. Any number of bags
may be hung on one nail in some con-
venient corner, and no one will throw
them away by accident, as SO often hap
pens when seeds are put in envelopes.
