HOME "STUFF"

Although nothing will take the
place of rain during drought, con-
slant shallow cultivation viii help to
hold the scanty moisture supply all
ready in the soil which may be suf-
ficient to tide over your crops until
the next rain.
Gran'pa says: "a dozen pailfuls
of whitewash may cost only few
cents, but they make the old farm
look worth several hundred dollars
more if spread out thin over the
fences and sheds about the yard
And speaking of whitewash, it
looks good on the outside of the poul-
try house, but it looks still better IN
side. 1t serves a mighty useful pur-
pose there, zoo.
For coating the interior of poultry
houses, use mixture consisting of
5 quarts of cream of lime, pint
zenofeum, or other coal tar disinfec
tant, and l quart kerosene, dissolved
in Z quarts of water.

No, you may not have time to re-
place all the lost bolts or worn parts
of your machinery during the busy
harvest season, but when you put the
machines away, if you are wise, you
will look them over and take notes
ON the parts that need attention. 1t
will be better to replace them next
winter than to have them break down
in the midst of mkt summers work.
s***ts
Weeds are the silent robbers of
the soil. However, they oyerate in
the full light of the day as well as
under cover of darkness, and make
no effort to conceal themselves. 1t
is well to get them before they go to
seed; it is better to get them before
they arc well rooted; but it is best to
get them before they start.
ss*%ss
It's not a bit too soon to be thinking
about that fall cover crop. What are
you going to plant this year? Your
county agent will be glad to advise
you if you are in doubt as to which is
best for your farm.

KITCHENS YET TO
BE CONQUERED BY WOMEN

Did YOU ever see a kitchen that
resembles race-track where the
housewife does her daily marathon?"
asks Mrs. Ida S. Har1ingtous spec,
ialist in home management at the
New Jersey College of Agriculture,
cor tfeadmill kept going by the
walking motion of one or more per-
sons. Treadmills Were once used as
a means of punishment but many a
home kitchen of today has just the
same effect.
what kind of kitchen is yourss?
The first step toward Improvement
is to get correct mental picture of
it. Such a picture may prove as
surprising as the likenIss the
Photographic sends home, over which
we exclaim; "Do | really look like
that?'
"To size up your kitchen, make a
rough plan of it ON large sheet of
paper, giving the location of doors,
windows and equipment. Draw lines
with colored crayons to show the
routes you travel in doing your work.
For instance, let q green line show
the travel between pantry and dining
room, red line the travel between
stove and table, ard SO on. Estimate
the number of times the routes are
covered every day. Are the most
important routes the shortest? Be
cause kitchen happens to be is feet
long and IA feet wide, it does not fol-
low that the stove must be at the
farthest possible point from the
table. The stove may be immovable
but the table isn't"
Although the idea is unusual to
many people, planning for efficiency
is just as profitable in the kitchen as
in business mans office or an in
dustrial plant.

VET ERAN PLAYS PRACTICAL
JOKE ON HOME GUARDS

r. A. Boiserman, veteran with Il
keen sense Of humor, has played a
practical joke ON three ''home
guards" of Chicago which has turned
upon him The 'home guards" are
row prosecuting him. Boiserman
posed as French envoy and said he
was sent to decorate the home guards
guards for bravery which the French
government had recognized.
The "home guards" who are now
so sore that they are prosecuting
Bo;serman, are A. M. Briggs, Charles
Daniel Frey, an artist. and Victor Ell
tinge, lawyer. They gave an elab-
crate dinner to Boiserman at the
Blackstou Hotel, during which Bois-
erman bestowed upon them the
"Medaille de la Reconnaissance Fran
caise." The "home guards" discov-
cred afterwards that they were spur
ious, and instead of keeping quiet
and taking their medicine. in true
''home guart style they started
prosecution, ard now all the world is
at them. They tried to get
the French government to prosecute
them, but that nation declined.
Boiserman served with distinction
in France and wears several genuine
medals bestowed upon him by that
country A fund should be raised to
defend him against the ''home
guards"

There are SO many ways for the
ard brightness to the dark spots in
the house. A dark hall window or
an attic bedroom may be perked up
with a little cretonne or chintz and
a bit of ingenuity. Material made
into slip covers or permanent COW
ing for shirt waist boxes or dress
ing tables adds "a great deal of in.
terest to any room.
The window shown in the above
sketch might be in a hall, bedroom
or sewing ROOM The ruffle'l tie
backs could be made of dotted Swiss
orsunbleached muslin with rick-rack
braid on the edge of the ruffle for
trimming and for repetition of the
pre3ominating color in the valance.
This valance is shaped in scallops
and edged with binding tape or rick
rack braid, but could be made
straight or gathered depandirg on
tnt dHiuultt VI nldttilsii 70 pt uHtu.
Shaped valances are usually lihas |.
and for that reason are more diff
cult to make. Straight pieces of
material, sewed together for the de-
sired fulness, hemmed at the bottom
and headed at the top, may be run
on rod, allowing the fulness to adj
Just itself. The tie-backs in this
case are of the same material as the
valance
The cretonne is plated on the
shirt waist box at the top and bot
tom, a plain piece for the top and a
binding tape tackled on with brass
headed tacks to cover up the rough
edges. The material could be put
ON plain or plated at the top and
left to hang straight, with hem at
the bottom. A material such as
cretonne OF chintz with large or
small figures could be used
The tassle ON the window shade
might be of the color of the binding
tape to complete the rolor slheme.
The rug shown in the sSetlh is a
braid rug of which there would be
more in the room like it. They can
be bought in most department
stores in various color combinations
and materials. They are made in
cotton, combination of sateen and
cretonne, or in wool. The wool rugs
are the most serviceable, but are
proportionately expensive.
A very good substitute for braided
rugs in an old fashioned room is rag
carpeting. 1t can be bought at a
very low price, comparatively
speaking. 1t generally has two or
three stripes running the length of
the carpeting, in two or three col
ors. The background color is gen.
orally duh neutral tone which will
harmonic well with almost any col
or scheme. The carpet should be
cut the desired length of the rug
and travelled at each end for about
three or four inches. BY taking a
few of the warp strands at a time,
it can be knotted easily; this makes
an excellent finish and is not bulky
as binding would be. The finished
effect is of woven rag rug and is
most serviceable as well as attrac-
tive for halls and bedrooms.
Any inquiries directed to this de-
partment in regard to color schemes,
treatment of windows, materials for
specific uses, ETC., will be answered.
