Thoaa who ar learhtna and attempting to carry xi aipartmanial work will appraclala I ha truth of the saying that half a man in experimental work mean a quarter of a man In the result obtained, and a quarter of a man means no man at all. I believe It Is largely due to the fact that women have had only "quarter time " which has brought down upon them the criticism that women are In clined to dabble In experimental work. It reminds one of the occasion when one woman went with five men to hold a farmers' institute. The one woman did all the work in the women's aua alona, and at its close one of the men, tired and weary, said, "Yes, It la hard to carry a meeting when there are only two speakers; three make it much easier!" Therefore, the teacher of home economics find it difficult to "squeexe In" experimental work with her teaching, and the time of the house keeper is so broken that she, although ' she may be well trained In science, would find herself only quarter of a man, so far aa results were concerned. Further, could not the information be made available for all, and should there not be a clearing house for such practi cal Information? For example. In our western country A. S.

It will avail little to t houee keper to bave a problem aolved sclen llflcally If Its coat In time or In money la prohibitive. Let me clt an example: The time-honored coal range, which haa been the first essential In so many households. Is probably doomed to ban ishment a oon a an equally efficient and economical method can be devised to accomplish tha him work with lea expenditure of energy. The flrelea cooker I but a step In that . direction, and It la not lnooncelvabla that central kitchen or bakeries may do tha heavy part of the cooking more cheaply than It can be done In tbe home. This would never mean that those methods of cook ing which ar now considered accessory might be o well developed that they would become sufficient, in the hop of proving such an accessory method prac tical some experimental work has been done with the electrical range. In the intermountaln west, where mountain streams ar numerous and their power la easily converted Into elec tricity, it would seem practical to cook by electricity. Tbe housekeeper needs Information not only in regard to the first cost of the equipment, but also in regard to the cost of running it At present there aeems to be but one range on the market which Is af all practicable for household use, and thl ha all tha objectionable feature which wer at tached to the first gas stoves manu factured, such as the low, back-breaking oven, etc This electrlo range, with Its oven, four disks broiler and utensils, costs $110 plus the freight That there Is economy in using; the utensils which fit the disks may be seen from the fact that It costs $.0026 more to boll one quart ' of water in an ordinary aluminum tea kettle than in a teakettle made to fit the disk closely.

Therefore, cooking with electricity Is ss yet an expensive method of cooking and much ' slower. On the other hand, 1t does satisfactory work. It Is cleaner than gas or coat, and always ready, so that the optimistic housekeeper will hope that the electrical companies will develop th rang to make It mora efficient Other problems, such as high-altitude cookery, which seems to be a question of density of gases, so far as Miss Brown has Investigated; or such' prob lems as the question of using different flour for bread and the difficulties with different yeast; or, again, th effect of the pasteurization of milk upon tha or ganlo compounds, "could be worked out for the housekeeper by the home eco nomic worker, if she bad tbe time and means for such work. . Looking toward a provision for just this work. Senator Smoot Introduced aV bill Into congress in March, 1910. which was read twice and referred to the committee on agriculture and forestry. This was a bill to provide for sn Id? creased annual appropriation for ag ricultural experiment stations, to be used In researches In home economics and regulating the expenditures thereof.

O. Care of the TO KEEP a refrigerator In a good condition. It is neceaaary to clean It thoroughly once a week, and to give it a little cleaning each day. The first essential to dally care is In regard to keeping of food In the refrigerator. This should not be kept until It la spoiled. Care roust also be taken In keeping the food chambers dry and clean. When anything Is spilled on the shelves, take care that it la wiped up thoroughly and immediately. In coun try towns, where there la no sewerage system, the refrigerator empties into a pan. This should be emptied everyday, or oftener If need be. The weekly care should be done much more thoroughly. First the ice and ail of the food should be removed. Then all of the shelves should be taken out and washed with hot water and soap, then scalded. The inside of the refrigerator should be thoroughly cleaned In the grooves and corners with a brush or skewer and a scouring pow der. It should' then be dried very care fully. Finally, the waste pipe should be cleaned with a cloth on a rod or a wire and a solution of potash or sod poured down the pipe. If possible, the refrigerator should be left open for an hour or two. , If the water pipe of the- refrigerator does not empty Into a pan, it should empty into the open end of a perfectly' properly trapped drain pipe. The pipe should never be connected to the drain pipes of the house unless there Is a good trap to prevent odors and , foul air from entering the Icebox. cut la dice. 1 carrot, l' small turnip, 4. pieces of celer and 8 potatoes ..

Refrigerator Food may be preserved for quit long period In the ice closet, although It 1b sure in the end to undergo certain forms of putrefaction. Meat kept In tha refrigerator wilt. In .the course of time, undergo a type of decay due to the. micro-organisms favored by a low temperature. Always keep' all food covered in tha Icebox, particularly milk, as it absorbs other odor quickly. Buttar la also very susceptible to odors, and ggs have been known to absorb Odor from onions and other strong vegetables placed near them. For this reason, it is a wis plan never to put strong vege tables, such as onions, turnips, cab bage or parsnips in th Icebox. Fish should never be kept in th refrigerator tinder any circumstances, as it is Im possible to rid the chest of the "fishy" odor for weeks. The efficiency of the refrigerator de pend upon its temperature. Tha larger tha amount of ice the lower tha temperature, and therefore th greater me emciency. 11 toe amount or ice t very small, there will be such a hlgH temperature that the food will spoil readily, bo it la advisable to buy as large a piece as possible, and to always keep the supply sufficient to Insure a low temperature. If paper Is wrapped about the ice when it is put In the re frigerator it will not melt so readily.
