Some Things Wasted, Which Should
Be Saved

One of the greatest sources of
waste upon our farms today, is that
of sugar cane tops, fodder, pumice
and "skimmings."
Farmers, with hardly an exception,
make a practice of stripping their
cane in the fields and leaving the
fodder and tops on the ground until
they are ready to break the ground
for the next crop, when the fodder is
burned.
This splendid roughage can be
| cured and baled or stacked and makes
a most excellent feed for cattle and
horses.
The pumice which is usually hauled
off and thrown away can be ground
while fresh and makes a splendid
sweet feed, more valuable than cot
ton seed hulls for cattle.
The "skimings" taken from the
syrup while being boiled makes as
nice vinegar as any one would wish
to use, but it usually thrown into a
barrel near the kettle, where it is lett
to ferment and is then drunk by ne
groes and sorry white men" until
they are crazy drunk. Thus the skim
ings are worse than wasted.
Another great waste is that OF
wheat and oat straw 1t is a rare
| thing to see farmer who doesn't
leave all this straw in the field to rot
III great piles, when his grain has
been threshed. This straw when
baled, is readily marketable at from
$500 to $500 per ton. Thousands
of dollars are wasted in this way
every year,
In the city one of the greatest i'm
aginable sources OF waste is our com
mon kitchen garbage and ashes.
Every city home, where a home
garden or flowers are grown, should
have garbage pit constructed as
follows:
Near the back alley dig a pit about
feet deep and about or 3 feet
square Into this pit empty all the
wood ashes from the kitchen stove,
all the garbage, not feed to chickens,
and all the leaves swept from the
yard. If it doesn't rain sufficiently to
decompose the leaves and garbage
pour few pals of water into the
pit every few days and throw in a
few shovelfuls of garden soil. If
there are not sufficient ashes to keep
the pit sanitary little lime may be
used. The pit may be emptied twice
year, and when you get ready to
plant your spring and fall gardens
you will be surprised to see what
nice lot of really valuable fertilizer
you have saved.

WHAT 1 HAVE SAVED
By Mrs. S. M. Whitchard =
(First Prize Letter in Woman's Club
Thrift Contest)

/ l have always made a practice OF
saving all the old stocking tops, and
all of the old knitted underwear.
With several children in the fami-
ly good many such articles accu-
mulated in the course of time.
These stocking tops I cut into
strips and had them woven into rugs
and striped the borders with strips OF
the white underwear. l had enough
to make three rugs about 80 inches
broad by so inches long, and found
them to be most admirable rugs for
the sleeping porch. | paid $500 to
have them woven. Rugs OF equal
value would cost me at the store al
this time, $1,000 each. | saved $27.OC
on the three rugs.
When cotton goods made such a
sudden and high climb, l found my
self practically without every day
shirt-waists. l went to my "old
clothes" chest to see what | had that
might be utilized. l found eight
shirt waists with collars and cuffs
too badly worn to be of use. l cut
these off and took some colored ging-
ham scraps and the good parts Of
my husbands old shirts and made
new collars and cuffs and am wearing
these waists the third year since re-
novating.
| took the good parts of some old
linen waists, cut them in squares, put
tiny edge around them and made
several SOC linen handkerchiefs.
| had several old-fashioned white
petticoats, made much too broad for
the present day dress skirt. These
were made with deep flounces, with
insertion and edging. | ripped the
ruffles off, cut the skirts down, and
put a new edging on, which by the
way, picked up at a remnant counter
few years ago at lc per yard
The ruffles from these skirts being
twelve to fourteen inches deep made
some nice new undersl5irts for my
sisters little girl

Some Things I Have Seen Saved

A one-armed man who had gar
den from which he sold vegetables in
town every morning, took couple OF
barrels along on his wagon, and at
ter disposing of his vegetables, he
drove to grist mill and filled his
barrels with corn cobs which the
miller was glad to have taken out of
his way
A barrel of the cobs was placed
on the porch near the kitchen door
every day, and the mans wife used
them for cooking fuel In this way
they saved the fuel bill, which in the
course of the year was enough to
pay for a suit of clothes.
In 1914 when there was no market
for cotton and all the feed mills as
we'll as the flour mills were using cot
ton bags for sacking their products
and merchants were selling the empty
bags for a mere song. Some women
secured a goodly number of these
bags and made enough underwear

REMUS BIRTHDAY

The young friends of Miss Marcia

ton with the birthday of Uncle Re-
mus"
The request, mo presents" accom-
pany the invitations, instead each
guest is asked to contribute toward
the purchase of all the Uncle Remus
books which they will take to the H.
brary and present. Miss Louise Smith
librarian, has prepared an especially
pleasing program in acceptance of the
gift, including some 'Brer Rabbit
stories.
Some years ago the death of "Un-
Gle Remus" cast a gloom over all At
lanta and all who had read his delight
full stories. Someone wrote these lines
which gave inspiration to his admir-
ers to have his birthday celebrated
throughout the nation:
And many moon will wax and wane
Before we see his like again.
The rabbit will hide, as he always hid
And the fox will do as he always
did;
But who can tell us what they say
Since Uncle Remus has passed
away"
Mrs. A. Med. Wilson, of Atlanta
in advising where the Uncle Remus
books could be obtained, writes
Your. interest in the celebration Of
the Uncle Remus birthday brings
much happiness to me, for have al

There's Just Chance of Human
Triangle" Among Lorimer's


My temporary employment in
AIMS kitchen as helper to Mother
Lorimer, acting chief cook, was fol-
lowed by plunge into a cold tub
and hasty toilet. Hoping that l
looked much cooler than l felt, l
joined the group of girls in AIMS
blrd-adorned drawing room.
Mother Lorimer had insisted on GO
ing home after the maid had received
her instructions for the rest of the
day.
Its pity age doesn't reduce our
ambitions in proportion to our
strength" was her comment upon her
WEAKNESS. ''I'm tired, dear child,
but Pm not complaining, she said in
response to my sympathy. "Pd be
better off, physically, if did as much
work as this every dayW
The girls greeted me with a cheer
of the college variety. The news of
the strike in AIMS kitchen had leak
ed out, somehow, and it appeared that
Mother Lorimer and / were regarded
as strike-breakers of new order.
That we were capable of cooking
and rving a luncheon more delicious
than any the Van Eyck chef had ever
achieved-and at half an hours no.
tlce-was proclaimed by Willy Van
Eyck to be a miracle.
