month you will have a better vinegar
than you can buy. If you wIno to

Vegetable Soup.
CiKik two cups of nuvy beans In
water to which a llttlo aoda ban been
lidded, Hume two or three times,
then put them Into a kettle, cover
with several Inclies of water, add a
Kood'Hlr.od onion, hIIci-iI, and a Hulk

Cook until the veKetablea uro well
duno.
Waahrags.
Did TurklHh towels are Hltmuliirly
iihi'Ich things unless they are turned
Into furnlltuo polishers or wnshniKS,
mid one of the objections to ll(e last
niciil lotted way of iihIiik them has
alwuya been that the henu were too
thick and that they wern hard to
handle. This, however, Im obviated
when lite raw edges are Mulshed with
a course buttonhole stitch. Il Is no
trouble whatever to do, iihd Hikes
no longer than hemming does. The
stitches sink Into tlm ooh threads of
the toweling, and the result Is per
fectly HUlisfatcory. The. bust thread
to use for tho purpose Is whlba ilurn
lug cut ton ; even when tho stitches
lira as much us u quarter of an Inch
apart tho material will not ravel.
Waterproofing Matches.
Into some melled paralln (care lin
ing taken that It Is cool aa possible)
dip n few ordinary parlor mutchcR.
After withdrawing them and allowing
them to cool. It will be found that thoy
scratch almost as cattily as buforu
hiilng coated wllh the wax. They can
bo held under water six or seven
hours and all will light as easily as
before Immersion. When the match
,.i scratched tho pa rutin Is first rub
bed off and tho match lights In tho
usual way.
Hatches treated as above would bo
very useful on camping or canoeing
trips, as thoy do not absorb moist
urn. Hlnco more rubbing Im required
to light them than tho ordinary match
It would ho practically ho Impossible
to set thorn on flro by accidental
dropping.
Potato Starch.
Rub up five-tenth part of weight of
well-washed raw potatoes on a grater
and boll the pulp thus obtained for a
few minutes with three part of clean
water. Then take It from the fire and
gradually stir In nftoen-thousandths
uart of pulverized alum, and finally
beat It up with wood spoon until per
fectly clear.
Wllh the exception of one or two
western states where women suffrage,
prevails, women's pollllcul rights are
more advanced In Kngland than In
tltl country. For years they have
been eligible to servo on parish and
county councils, and with certain re-
qulreuienl of condition and property,
I hey have for many year voted at
municipal election. And now a lady
has just been elected inuyor of a city
of 1 .'l.oiio by the largest majority ever
given a mayoralty candidate.

Few children's hymn huve galhed
greater popularity than "Little Drop
of Water, Utile drains of Hand," the
author, Mrs. J, A. Carney, has Just
died In (ialeaburg, 111., at tho advanc
ed age of eighty-five. This charming,
simple little song with Its familiar
analogies ha beeu sung by children
everywhere and ha gained for It au
thor a lasting fame that many a more
pretention writer of poetry might
well envy.'
All the world I wondering what
Holland will do with Ca tro, who has
ignored the ultimatum sent him. He

Feed for Poultry.
In raising feed for poultry It should
be borne In mind that corn and wheat

It Is argued by some farmers that
their bens cost them practically noth

Is some truth In that, and there also

trap nets in the ben houses, and each

Tegard to worryng, or fretlng, as It
Is called, and wasting their energy,
then one could gauge the amount of
feed according to the size of the horse
and the amount of work he has to do
and be guided accordingly. One needs
to observe and study the needs of
each animal under his charge and
meet the requirements. Most horses
are Inclined to eat more of the bay
and coarse feed than they can well
digest. It Is safer to give only as
much as the stomach can comfortably
hold at a time and allow digestion to
be accomplished before another feed
ing. By feeding only such amounts
of either hay or grain as the Individu
al horse needs, and that, too, regular
ly, the animal will keep In better con
dition, show more ambition and per
form the work In a more satisfactory
manner than If the stomach I over
crowded with too much forage. The
feed can be varied with benefit -nd

two kinds of feed are given. One of
the great secrets of success In feed
ing Is studying to find the needs of
the horse and being ready to supply
them. N. A. Clapp.
Reconstruction of Swiss Vineyard.
More modern methods of grapa cul

The old vineyards have been attack

years.
Breaking a Colt
Every farmer's boy should "break a
colt to ride and drive before he can
call his education complete. It will
be an experience that the boy will be
proud of and which will do him much
good. Three things must be taught
every colt to make It useful. They
are courage, obedience and good work
manship. The first Is neces.-iary to
prevent horses becoming frightened
at unusual things; the second Is re
quired In order that it may be of good
service and in the third case tue
horse's value depends upon the neat
ness and consistency with which it
performs its work.
The Hissing of the Goose.
A recent writer explains the pecu

something as follows: ( When you en

stretch out their necks and hiss like
a serpent. They will do the same
when sitting upon their nests. This
authority says that In the far East

A Remedy for Pig Eating.
It is well known that sow not In

young; or if prevented In this, will
not let down their milk, so that the
young pigs necessarily die from want
of nourishment When this condition
of things Is not caused by a diseased
condition of the uterus it Is said that
the sow can be brought to terms by
pouring a mixture of ten to twenty
drops of spirits of camphor with ont
to three drops of tincture of opium In
to her ear.' The sow will Immediate

application was made, and remain
quiet In this position for several
hours, without interfering with her
pigs, and on recovery from her stupor
will have lest her Irritability In re

been tried in Germany hundreds of
times, according to one of the agri
cultural Journals without any injuri

eating of pigs by the parent sow can
be readily prevented by rubbing them
all over with brandy and making the
same application about the nose of
the sow herself; or saturate a small
woolen cloth with kerosene and care

much of It on their tender skins.
Usually the kerosene dressing impairs
the sow's relish for raw pig.

Keeping Milk Sweet.
In some of the milk studies made
at the New York Agricultural Experi
