The spring housekeeping is finally
completed by washing and polishing
fixtures and furnishings that require
this treatment. Here are few hints
and recipes that viii be found useful !:
Electric Powder.
Used for polishing gold and silver
plated ware, German silver, brass, cop
per, glass, tin. steel, or any material
where brilliant luster is required. To
four pounds of the best quality Of
whiting add one-half pound cream Of
tartar and three ounces Of calclned
magnesa. Mix thoroughly together.
Use the polish dry with a piece Of
chamois skin or canton flannel pre-
viously moistened with alcohol, and
finish with dry polish. A few mo-
ments rubbing will develop a surpris-
ing luster, different from the polish
produced by any other substance
Silver Powder.
Nitrate of silver and common salt
each 30 grains. Cream Of tartar three
and one-half drains; pulverize finely,
mix thoroughly, and bottle for use.
Unequaled for polishing copper and
plated goods.
Knives not in daily use should be
well polished and buried In a box of
sawdust until required for use.
Britannia ware should be washed
with a wooden cloth and sweet oil,
then washed In water and suds and
rubbed with soft leather and whiting.
Frightening Brass.
To clean lacQuered brass wash II
gently In lukewarm water, rub with
cloth dipped In equal parts of vinegar
The Fayette falcon. (Somerville, Tenn.) 190?-current, 1919-05-09

and lemon juice and then polish with
dry leather.
Old hOt.water bags, split open and
cut into circular pieces, are excellent
mats for house plants.
To Prevent Candles From Dripping.
Candle light is one of tie prettiest
decorations we have, but they often
make such a mess one heSitates to use
them. You may avoid all this II you
freeze the candles before using, they
will never run, and burn twice as
long.
Candles hardened by being kept in
the refrigerator, or cool place, will
burn longer than others. Keep the
wick "snuffed," as did our grandmoth-
ers; when you blow candle out blow
up, instead of over the light and the
candle will not gutter, but burn even
ly next time. Church or wake candles
cost more, but are made of harder ma
terial and last longer.
For a candle economy, shape a cork
to fit the candlestick, then drive
through the center a shap nail, bring
Ing the pointed end out on top. Place
the end of the candle on the point of
the nail, and you will be able to burn
all candle ends down to the very last.
Loose Casters.
If annoyed by casters dropping out
Of any article of furniture, try soaking
large corks IN water to make them
pliable, then pounding them into the
socket. Make a small hole in center
Of cork and drive the caster In 1t. II
the cork is large enough to fill the
socket you will have no further trou-

1913. Lieutenant Amory was detailed
to lead a patrol on hazardous and
important mission Of locating the
main defense line of the enemy. Fight
ing his way under their heavy artil-
lery and machine gun fire, and with
no assistance from our batteries, he
established his command two kilOme-
ters within the enemy territory. AL
though wounded and his small COM
mand badly cut to pieces and almost
entirely surrounded, he refused to
give up the ground he had taken, but
by stubbOrnly resisting with his small
detachment he finally succeeded In
driving the enemy from this important
position. His home was in Whining
ton, Del.

few years ago; live stock prices have
increased In proportion.
While 1t Is true that the cost of
producing grain and Of feeding and
fattening live stock for the market
have also risen, they have not gone up
In proportion to the price obtained
for the farm products. The fact that
labor costs are high makes 1t all the
more essential that the farm crops and
farm stock should be housed in bulld-
ings where the work can be performed
with the least amount Of effort. Saw
ing couple of hours day in caring
for the live stock is a worthwhile saw
ing.
Building a modern barn at this time
is not only patriotic thing to do, bat
1t is good business. Grain and cows
are too valuable to be housed in any
building that does not keep the former
from the weather and the raids of rats
and other animals, and the latter in a
healthy and productive condition.

Of cows as food. A water system car
rying water to each stall also saves
much labor.
Along either side OF the barn are
windows spaced so that the interior

tary. For this reason many dalrymen
prefer to face the animals In. so that
the sunshine hits the gutter. It also
has been noticed that cows In a field
invariably Craze with the sun at their
backs.
This is an exceptionally good barn
design. 1t Is so large that 1t costs
great amount of money, but is large
enough to supply the needs of the
average farm.
Every individual who needs build
ings. whether they be home, barn,
a granary, business or manufactur-
ing building, Is urged by the govern
ment, and all others who have the well
fare of the country at heart, to build
now. Recent investigations of the
cost of building materials have shown
that the increase In prices Of lumber,
cement and all the other things that
60 into a building have increased far
less than any other commodity. And
Furthermore, II has been determined
by the United States department of
labor, after a careful survey Of con-
ditiOnS, that there is no probability
that these costs will be decreased
within the next few years. Recon
struction demands in Europe, coupled
with shortage Of supply, make 1t
seem certain that building materials
will remain at the present price level.
There is a profit-maklng side OF
owning good farm buildings that the
government officials also are bringing
to the attention of the farmers of the
country. Never in the history Of the
United States have the prices of food
stuffs been so high. Grain of all kinds
brings double the price 1t did only a

FRANK 8. STOCKTON,
Private, Co. E, 1s7th Infantry.

Private, Co. {, 10Th Infantry.
Private Stockton was decorated for
unusual bravery in action near Lam
dres-et-St. Georges. France, October
ii, 1913. After working all morning
in rescuing wounded soldiers, Private
Stockton, a stretcher bearer, learned
that man from another company was
lying wounded In a shell hole, one hun
bred yards In advance Of the COM
pany's position. Ignoring all warnings
as to the danger involved, he and
another stretcher bearer crawled to
the shell hole under violent machine
gun fire and found that the man was
so severely wounded that he could
only be carried on litter. Although
the wounded soldier attempted to dis
suade him from so doing. Private
Stockton returned to our line, secured
litter and proceeded once more to
the shell hole in direct view of the
enemy and under the most intense
fire from machine guns $50 yards
away. He succeeded in reaching the
shell hole safely, but as he was plac-
ing the wounded patient on the litter
he was instantly killed. Private Stock
ton was son Of Rev. J. A. Stockton,
New Decatur, Ala.

There are more arguments for build
ing now than against 1t, and a careful
consideration of both will convince
the progressive business farmer that
better farm buildings mean better
crops and better live stock.
There Is an added advantage In
building such a barn as the one shown
here. There Is the satisfaction THAT
comes to every farm owner in hav-
ing his buildings of such a type that
they win command the admiration Of
his nelghbors.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Sept l8.-At
the Vermont state booth in Machinery
Hall at the Eastern States exposition a
list has been placed, containing 700 farms
for sale, ranging in price from $1,000 to
$50 900, and every effort is being made
to bring the buyers and sellers together
Among the interesting activities of the
state, Mr. Eaton spoke of the Christmas
tree sales, which annually amount to a
million or more trees exported from the
state. About 1000 trees of native red
spruce can be grown on an acre, and this
business, with subsidiary sale of ferns,
ground pine and other greenery, forms an
important part of the states revenue
The flock of ewes owned by the exposi-
tion management and held for sale in
small lots to farmers, preferably to those
whose finances do not admit of large pur-
-ehases, Is proving great success The
animals are splendid specimens, and the
competition for their purchase is spirited.
The plan, started on a small scale this
year, undoubtedly win be extended am
other year, and possibly will be extended
to swine, cattle and even horses.
