Apply one pinch on the head, ono on the neck, two on the hack, ono on tho breast, ono below Ihu rent, ono on tho tall, ono on either thigh, and one scattered on tho underside of each wing when spread.

Such Is tho statement of n Wisconsin marriage clerk, before whom thou sands of couples sign tho papers re quired In making them man and wife The clerk nlso says n poor cook has much less chances of getting a hus band than ono who can't cook hut Is willing to learn. And ho soys "all women can cook If they try to." He bases theso conclusions on the effects of tho culinary art In the gnmo of love on Inquiries ho bos made to thousands of brldcs-to-bo when they appeared before him. "I have nsked many future brides If they could cook and In practically every case they stated they could, nnd when they said they could not, they supplemented It with the statement they were lenrnlng," ho suld. Thnt many men hnvo been won by good cooking was stated by the Had ger stnto marriage clerk ns a common occurrence.

Only One-Fifth of Hen's Egg Is Nutritious; Much of Substance Is Water In a hen's egg only one-fifth of the substance Is nutritious. One-ninth Is refuse, and tho greater portion, about two-thirds, Is water, according to authority. White-shelled eggs arc not so good as yellow ones, for they contain n .trifle mpre water and less fnt. Judged by the amount of nutriment, a goose's egg Is tho most valuable, next In order nro ducks', guinea fowls', hens', turkeys', and plovers' eggs. Kggs contain a large quantity of sulphur, which Is purifying to the blood nnd good for the complexion. To get the best egg you must feed your fowl on grain. And to cook It In tho most digestible way you must not boll tho water. Heat the water to 180 degrees and leave the egg In It for ten minutes. You will then digest every morsel. Hut If you boll It for three minutes no less than one-twelfth of It will, fall to be digested. Thus, If you cat two eggs boiled nt 212 de grees every day you waste five dozen In n year.

Twenty-Five Years COST OF PRODUCING APPLES Problems of Fruit Growers Made Sub ject of Study by Department of Agriculture. (Prepared by tho United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) To dctermlno tho annual cost of np plo production per box nnd to gather such Information ns to different meth ods of orchard management practiced by tho growers of tho Yaldma valley, Washington, as might hnvo a bearing upon cost of producUon, specialists of tho United States department of agriculture in the summer of 1015 con ducted a detailed study of 120 rcpre sentaUvo orchards In that section. Their findings have been published in Department Bulletin No. 014. which is tho fourth of a scries of bulletins on tho cost of npplo production in four of tho leading fruit-growing valleys of tho Northwest Tho Yakima valley is a specialized apple-growing section in tho south cen tral part of Washington. It has a Packing Apples In Yakima Valley. larger acreage of fruit than any oth'er county In the state, In 1014 there being 47,820 acres in fruits, of which 41,055, or 88 per cent, were in apples. In 1010 7,000 carloads of apples wero shipped from this valley. There are two systems of orchard management practiced In this sccUon, tho clean cultivation method nnd the mulch system. Of tho orchards studied, 75 wero under tho clean-cultural sys tern and -15 under tho mulch-crop sys tem. It was found that tho annual cost per box for tho clean-culture or chards was slightly over 80 cents, whllo under tho other system tho cost wns slightly over 70 cents. However, tho orchards that wero cuIUvated yielded on an average 54 boxes per aero more. When tho total of all costs of tho 120 orchards studied was considered. thero was found to bo an annual aero cost of $345.08, or a fraction of over 80 cents per box. This Is figured on tho average annual yield of 432 boxes per acre. Tho two groups of costs which go to mako up this total are tho labor cost, which amounted to 35 cents per box, and tho material and fixed costs, which amounted to a llttlo over 45 cents per box. Tho labor cost up to tho tlmo of harvest amounted to a llttlo over 14 cents per box, or 41.08 per cent of tho total net labor cost Spraying Is an annual practice, tho codling moth probably being tho worst enemy. On an average, four sprayings wero mado per year and tho averago cost per aero amounted to $25.14, less than 0 cents per box, 7.27 per cent of tho cost of producUon. Hurrah !
