WHY WE CLOSE OUR

On this interesting subject, Dixie"

eyes we eliminate from the sight all
objects which possibly distract our
attention. thus making 1t more easy

Canning Powders Should
Not Be Used in Canning

In some communities there is
widespread use of canning powder
Both boric and salicylic acid are
bought from the druggists for this
purpose. Large quantities of these
acids are also sold at a high price
under fanciful canning compound
names.
agriculture warns against the use of
any preserving powder or canning
compound. Their use encourages
careless and uncleanly work, and
their excessive use may be attended
with serious effects upon digestion
to "put up" fruits and vegetables SO
that they will keep indefinitely BY
processing the products with neat.
There is no reason for taking the
risk of using canning powders.
The essentials in canning fruit and
vegetables are these:
Fresh products, pure water, care,
cleanliness, good jars, Give stand
ard rubber rings and sufficient neat 70
process the products thoroughly IN
the closed cOntainer.

MARY MEREDITH'S ADVICE.
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME

I am a lonely girl of II summers
coming to you for advice after boy
has sighted me. Should speak when
I see him? He tries to talk to me
and when I am with another boy why
he comes and tries to talk to me.
Should he do that way? He was the
cause of US busting up.
, Do you think l am too young to
the Fourth of July. If boy gives
me a wrist watch and then gets mad
at me should I give it back to him if
he asks me for it? What would be
nice to give boy for birthday
present? Please print this soon, for
I want to see it in print before the
21st of June if I possibly can. Am I
too old to curl my hair? Everyone
says for he to curl it. It suits me
Am I old enough to wear high heel
slippers and is drop-stitched stock
ings all right to wear? Are the girls
still wearing their hair in puffs?
Thank you for advice. Please print
before the 21st of June if you can
at all. ROSEBUD.
Rosebud:
When boy has sighted you,
and afterwards tries to be nice
to you, accept him on the terms
he offers, that is be equally as
nice to him, but do not give him
another opportunity to slight
you in the future. Pay no at
tention to his nice ways, except
to always act the part of a lady
and treat him politely. I do not
think you are too young to have
boy friends. If boy has given
you wrist watch on a purely
friendly basis he has no right to
1 say that girls have no business
accepting costly presents from
boys, unless they are engaged to
be married, and when boy gives
a girl nice present he is
sorry sort of a fellow to want it
back when he gets on the ''outs"
with her. So girls be careful and
boys, do not be so foolish.

cause I do not know his tastes.

and do not ever wear them. You

feet or have foot trouble. The

Please tell me what kind OF poi
son to use on tobacco to kill bud

pounds OF corn meal. Mix together
thoroughly and apply as \ dry pow

a baking powder can with nail holes

come larger, it is usually necessary
to open the bud with one hand and
drop a small portion of the mixture
with the other. Paris green can also
be used to control the bud worms,
but as it is likely to burn the leaves,
there is naturally strong objection
to it's use. If arsenate of lead can
not be secured, Paris green may be
used. In that event, mix one pound
Of Paris green with $50 pounds of
corn meal. This mixture should be
applied at the rate of from twelve

Abnormal Fermentations in Milk
w. M. c., Rome, Ga, writes:
I have COW with her first calf
three months old. She gives two
gallons of milk a day. The milk
before it clabbers has good
cream on it and when it clab-
bers the cream turns to whey,
and it will not make butter.
Any assistance you can render
US will be appreciated.
Troubles such as you describe are
often met with. While this condi-
ton may develop at any season of
the year, 1t is most commonly met
with in the spring than at other
the change from cool to warm
weather. The best method to fol-
low to overcome this trouble is to
dishes used in the holding and ham
ding of the milk. This should in
clude the churn. To accomplish the
end in view, everything should be
boiled several hours. The utensils
should then be spread out in the
water in the churn and let it stand
until cool. Replace it with another
lot. Continue this process for sew
eral hours. If you have been us
ing CLOTHS IN or about the utensils,
dispose of them and instead pur
chase a good, stiff bristled brush
to use in scrubbing and cleansing
the utensile. Sal soda may be used
in the water with advantage. 1t
exerts a sweetening and wholesome
Influence and aids in the destruc-
ton Of the bacteria which cause the
trouble about which you write.
Next. see that the. udder, of the
cow has been carefully washed and
dried before milking. The mixer
should also be sure that his hands
are clean. The udder can be soft
ened by oiling it after each milking.
Draw the milk from all parts of the
udder very thoroughly. If there
seems to be any congestion or in
flammation, battle the affected part
with hot water. Rub dry, knead
gently and then cover with cam
phorated-lard ointment to prevent
chatting. The thorough cleansing of
the udder by the exterior treatment
recommended and the frequent strip
Ding-out clean of the milk are aids to
overcoming the difficulty you are ex-
periencing.
