How to Utilize Stal Bread.
TlIE bane of many a housekeep-
I er's existence ia stale bread
Some women are such careful
managers that they never have
l piece of stale bread that they cannot
find a use for, but others are not so
efficient This mismanagement Is more
often due to want of thought and plan
than to careless tendencies.
It Is well to know that when bread
begins to get stale it can be freshened
by wrapping It In a wet cloth and plac
ing It In a hot oven.
Instead of laying the slices left from
a meal aside to dry, place them back
against the loaf and wrap a piece of
clean cloth about them. Turn the loaf
on the slices of bread, and the mois
ture from the loaf will keep them so
fresh that they can often be used the
next day on the table. Wax paper can
be used instead of the napkin or piece
of liueu.
It Is a splendid plan to keep leftover
bread and crusts that cannot be used
any more in a bag of cheesecloth. The
bag should be hung In some out of the
way place, where the air can circulate
around it. but where It will be protect
ed from the dust When the bread la
quite dry it should be rolled on the bls
, cuit board with the rolling pin or run
through the food chopper until fine.
Bread that has been bung In the air
to dry in the cheesecloth bag should be
ground into breadcrumbs at least twice
a week. It Is well to dry the stale
bread in the oven after It has been
made Into crumbs. Tbey should be
stirred to hasten the process. When
they have been thoroughly dried and
toasted" they should be set wayo In
glass Jars to the cupboard.
When cutting a loaf of bread place a
piece of waxed paper on the bread
board and after placing the bread In
the pan pour the crumbs that have re
mained Into the bandy little jar that
should be kept near by for the purpose.
As the crumbs are toasting in the oven
add those that come from cutting the
bread.
Of course it is needless to tell the
uses of breadcrumbs. Tbey can be
used in so many ways, not ouly In fry
ing oysters, breading cutlets and
sprinkling on top of baked dishes, but
also In dry cleaning. New bread
crumbs can be used for cleaning gold
and white lace. They should not be
toasted if they are to be used in this
way, but applied with a clean cloth.
When tbey become soiled fresh crumbs
should be used.
CARE OF CORSETS.
How to Prolong the Life of Expensive
Pairs of Stays.
The care of an expensive corset pro
longs' Its life for weeks and even
months. So the woman who buys ex
pensive corsets ought to know how to
take care of them.
First a word about expensive cor
sets. They are real economy for the
stout woman. She breaks a cheap
corset in a week or two and never
foels comfortable or looks well in it
Aa expensive corset, made of stronger
materials, boned, perhaps more flex
ibly, surely more servlceably, wears
live or six times us long as the cheaper
one.
The slim woman can well wear cheap
corsets. If she is slight and of normal
proportions, these will doubtless feel
quite as comfortable and look quite
as well as the more expensive sort
Then she can indulge in the luxury of
getting a new one as soon as the old
one is worn or soiled. ,, ,
The expensive corset must be sent
to the professional cleaner occasion
ally. It Is possible to clean a corset
at home, although it will not look as
well as one cleaned by professionals.
The corset should be stretched out
on a board and scrubbed with a brush
dipped In soapy warm water to wbicb
a little borax has been added. It
should be scrubbed until as much dirt
as possible has been removed, and then
It should be rinsed In clear water;
then it should be pinned out flat on a
board to dry in the air, but not in the
un.
The Frenchwoman follows a good
plan. She has several corsets all the
time and alternates wearing them.
The ones not in use are aired and
then wrapped about a wooden cylin
der, to which they are neatly pinned
or tied. They are then wrapped In
tissue paper or in a muslin or silk case
and laid away until needed.
How to Keep Your House Clean.
A shoe duster and a long handled
overshoe remover are things that will
add to the comfort of any family If
they are hung in a convenient place
near the hall entrance throughout the
winter and early spring rains. They
ran be homemade. The duster may
be made from a piece of old blanket or
.any thick woolen material, cut Into a
fringe and tacked to an old handle of a
feather duster or Just a stick, so that
flust may be flicked from the shoes
without any stooping.
The overshoe remover may be made
by using u stick about a yard long and
he lower end cut Into u strong and
capable shoe horn. In this form one
ran. stand 'upright instead of getting
smeared by the dripping and mud
:nked shoe.

INSOMNIA RELIEF.
How to Rob Sleeplessness of Some of
Its Terrors.
Insomnia and sleeplessness are rob
bed of many of their terrors if their
victim looks at them In a sensible
way. The very worst thing to do when
sleep falls to come is to worry about
It and Anally work yourself Into such
a state of nervousness that night and
darkness seem all surrounding and
never ending.
The victim of sleeplessness should
make ber wakeful hours as comfort
able as possible. If she cannot train
herself to lie still, relaxing and rest
ing, she should provide herself with
such comforts as are necessary td
make the midnight vigil bearable, even
pleasant
Sometimes simple little device bring
the desired sleep. One remedy Is
this: Close the eyes and turn the eye
balls as far toward the top of the head
as possible. This Is their normal at
titude during sleep, and this attitude,
persistently held, often produces sleep.
One woman cared herself of real in
somnia In this way.
Sometimes a drink of warm water
will produce sleep. There Is now on
the market a little metal cylinder
which is attached to the electric light
socket by a wire. When the current
la turned on the cylinder becomes hot
and If it Is placed in a glass of water
the water soon boils. A glass of water.
covered, and this cylinder on the bed
side table would make hot water at
any time In the night convenient
Reading, of course, is the solace of
the sleepless. The light should be
good. Brackets to hold electric bulbs
securely on the rungs of a brass bed
are sold. Bedside lights on tall brass
or wood standards are also sold.
Reading In bed Is not Injurious If
the light Is good and If the book la
held In the proper position. It should
be so held that the light strikes full
on the page without glaring In the
eyes. It Is usually more comfortable
to sit in a half upright position than
in a reclining one. A comfortable pil
low or two should be ready at hand to
support the back and head.
Eating often induces sleep. Bread
and butter sandwiches, wafers, a little
fruit anything that has been found
satisfactory can be prepared before
hand and placed on the bedside table
for the sleepless one's feast If hot
milk does the work it can be kept In,
vacuum bottle, or It can be heated by
the electric cylinder.
CARE OF THE BABY.
How to Make the Little One Com
fortable and Happy.
The crawling , baby should have
creepers over the little dresses. These
can be made of inexpensive materials
that will wash, and it goes without
saying that little dress articles of this
sort are a great saving in the washing.
There Is a useful little supporter re-,
sembllng the masculine suspenders
worn, by the small child to keep the
ndergarment in place. The strap ex
tends to the waist, where It Is pro
vided with a clasp, to which the gar
ment In question Is attached. The
clasp Is easily adjusted when the gar
ment needs changing. It gives more
freedom to the limbs since the garment
does not need to be pinned so tightly
to prevent it falling.
When the baby cannot wear the flan
nel band without causing irritation of
the skin let him wear a soft linen shirt
beneath the band. The linen Is sooth
ing to the skin.
Nursing bottles can be cleaned much
easier if washed In cold water as soon
as used and the nipples dropped In a
cup of cold water that has a little sale-
ratus added and then washed with hot
water before using.
Silencers made of Turkish toweling
can be used under children's plates at
the table. They are also useful In pro
tecting the smooth surface of tbe serv
ing table.
Serious accidents having occurred to
babies through their catching bold of
tbe blades of sharp Instruments, the
following hint will be useful: Do not
try to pull away the instrument or to
force open the hand; but holding tbe
child's empty hand, offer to Its other
hand anything nice or pretty, and It
will immediately open it and let tbe,
dangerous instrument fall.
How to Fold a Man's Coat,
The right way to fold a man's coat
when lie is preparing to go on a trip,
declares a housekeeper of experience.
Is to lay It out perfectly flat, with the
wrong side down. Then spread out
the sleeves and fold back the elbow
nntil each end of the sleeve is even
with the collar. Fold the revers back
and then double the coat over, folding
It directly In the center seam and then
(limolliing it out carefully.
THE SWINEHERD.
Keep the pigs warm. They
will grow all winter If conditions
are right says the Farm Journal.
With bacon at 25 or SO cents a
pound. It pays to keep plga and
keep them right
If the hogs are warm and com
fortable tt takes less food to keep
them thrifty.
The breeding sows should have
a combination of foods and very
little corn.
They must have some succulent
foods roots, vegetables, etc., and
clover hay.
The brood sows must have ex
ercise to be healthy. Bad luck
with them can always be traced
to Ignorant or careless handling
by the owner.
Separate the breeding sowa as
they beglu to grow heavy.
A Jam from a boss sow may
cause the loss of the pigs and the
sow too.
SHEEP ON SMALL FARMS.
Economical Meat Producers and Valu
able as Weed Destroyer.
In discussing the future meat supply
In a recent government bulletin one of
the writers said: "Sheep are not gen'
erally profitable to tbe farmer. Tbeil
numbers are slowly decreasing nearly
everywhere except on the ranges, and
the latter are so fully stocked that not
much increase la to be looked for In
that direction. There la no probability
of any considerable future Increase to
the number of these animals."
It would seem that this writer la

Many a farm would be a more prof
itable enterprise as a whole If a small
flock of sheep was added to the live
stock equipment Sheep reproduce
more rapidly than cattle and come to
maturity at an early age, rivaling
swine In this respect. Being rumi
nants they handle the same class of
feeds as cattle and are far more useful
than cattle as gleaners of waste. The
meat Is very healthful and, as the car
cass is small, furnishes possibilities In
fresh meat which would be most ac
ceptable on most farms, especially
during the summer season. This alone
should give a few sheep a place on
every farm. On some farms chicken
Is tbe only fresh meat available dur
ing the summer season. Even fried
chicken becomes monotonous when it
Is 'the only fresh meat appearing on
tbe table for days at a stretch.
Tying the Herd Bull.
There are various ways xt tying the
herd bull. It Is not an uncommon
practice to keep bira In a stanchion,
and some tie him to a low manger with
one rope around the horns and another
tied to the ring In bis nose. We have
always felt that it Is a better practice
to keep the herd bull In a box stall
open at tbe sides, arranged so be can
see tbe berd. This makes hi in feel that
be Is part of the herd. A stall of this
character gives the bull an opportunity
to move about, which we believe I to
bis advantage. Hoard' Dairyman,

Ringworm is very common In calves
at this time of the year. Scrub and
scrape the spot perfectly free from
scales and scabs and then rub In some
Iodine ointment. Repeat the applica
tion each other day and the trouble will
soon subside. Isolate the calf, as the
disease Is contagious. Clean up, dis
