and fertility to our soils, which are
very much needed to build them up.
The keeping of livestock is one OF Ma
lures chief methods Of supplying hui
mus and soil fertility, and they are an
absolute necessity for success in this
particular.
So long as the development of our
cattle industry is delayed or retarded,
just so long will the State be in coming
into its own.
This would suggest, therefore, that
no stone should be left unturned tC
eliminate our greatest obstacle to this
development, viz, the cattle tick, II

owners, that the Federal Government

IT'S TIME TO SET THE TABLE.

A very simple and inexpensive meal
| can be served that il is far more tempting
than repast of broiled Holsters and
| turkey. French artichokes and nesselrode
| pudding. SO the first thing to do and the
last thing, too--before serving a meal
is to set the table daintlly.
Some unframed maids seem to like to
use their Imagination IN devislng n new
place TO put each table utensil. Spoons
have an odd way, under their rninistra-
tions, of wandering where they ought not
to be, The glass of water is sometimes
on one side of the plate, sometimes on
the other. One never knows where to
look for the salt.
down to a table of this sort. So the first
thing to do is to set the table neatly, and
always in the same way.
Remember. too, that absolute cleanli-
ness should mark the table. Dishes
should be shining and clean, and silver
and glass should fairly sparkle. II is no
more difficult to wash dishes clean than to
wash them so that they are not quite clean.
And it is not an extravaganza when 1t is
possible, TO spend a little more money
for laundry so that you can have clean
cloth always on the table. If no accidents
occur the cloth may be used for three or
four days, but if it becomes spotted,
especially in hot weather, exchange it
for a fresh one. Some other little economy
can be effected to offset this extrava-
gance.
Then there are flowers, which do so
much TO make table more attractive.
Remember, that stale flowers are worse,
than no flowers, and throw them away
the moment they look withered. If they
are left on the table for several days,
change the water daily, for there is some
times disagreeable odor to wet flower
stems that is enough to dampen an ardent
appetite.
Such small things influence the appetite
that neat, attractive table plays big
part in the success of the meal. Remem-
Der this the next time you are setting the
table,
