F. Sea -1, Dingy rubbers can be
made to look like new if they are wash-
ed with ammonia and water, then cov-
ered with a thin coating of shoe black-
ing and allowed to dry thoroughly be-
fore wearing. g. A silver mesh bag
can be cleaned satisfactorily by wash-
ing in warm water •with pure white
seep, using a small toothbrush to
clean the links. Rinse and pat dry
between cloths. 3, A sprinkling can
which leaks slightly should have a cup -
fel of melted paraffin poured into it
and shaken around so the bottom will
be evenly covered. When the wax
hardens the can will be found to hold
water without leaking. 4. In convoy-
ing food to the mouth it is proper to
change the fork from the left to the
right hand after cutting the food, al-
though this rule must not be so strict-
ly adhered to as to appear awkward.
Mrs. C. T.:—If your pillow cases
have worn hi the middle you can use
the enci as a bureau cover. Cut the
seam the depth of your bureau, open
the pillow case and you will have •a
bureau cover ready to hem along back
and ends. If your cases are em-
broidered or hemstitched, so much the
better, because this will form the front
of your cover.
Inquirer: -1. It is not considered
good form to say"Pleased tomeet you,"
or "Glad to know you," when intro-
duced, but rather "I am very glad to
meet you, Mrs.—", or soxne such sen-
tence. Always use the personal pro-
noun "I". 2. Pig sandwiches are un-
usual and delicious; also gingerbread
sandwiches. For the first use two
cupfuls chopPed figs, one-half cupful
water, one-half cupful sugar, one-half
cupful butter, white bread. Put the
figs through a food chopper, add the
sugar and water and cook until thick.
Cool, add the butter and mix well.
Spread between thin slices of sand-
wich bread which has had the crust
removed. To make the gingerbread
sandwiches, cut thin slices of ginger-
bread which has been -baked a day or
two before it is to be used, otherwise
it will crumble. Butter each slice
and spread with honey. 3. A woman
should rise to greet a man if she is
the hostess or when a man much older
than herself is presented to her, espec-
ially if he is distinguished in any way
or is a elergymae. Under ordinary
circumstances a woman need not rise
when a man is introduced to her, but
it is gre.cious and courteous for her to
rise to greet an old acquaintance,
whether man or woman.
Busy Bee: -1, A Pena= hat which
has become etained wiLbeperspiration
can be cleaned in the following way:
First immerse the hat in a solution of
sodium hypophosphite; follow this
with, a dip into oxalic acid, The stain
should disappear in an, hour or two;
evaen it does, rinse .the hat in clear
water and afterward in a weak
gYlcerin solution. The bat will be
ready for blocking. 2. For an oily
skin try boric acid, at dram; alcohol,
312 ounce; rose water, 5a4 ounces. Mop
off the surface night aed morning with
this waah, then dust with a fine rice
powder.
Anxiousi—To pasteurize milk heat
it to a temperature of 145 degrees
Fahrenheit for 20 minutes. It should
then be cooled quickly to 45 degrees
Fahrenheit and kept at this tempera-
ture till used. Pasteurization ac-
cording to these directions will kill
the typhoid and other disease germs in
milk.g. Silver which is to be given
as a wedding present to a widow
should be marked with/the initials af
the bride's maiden name.

Maid:—At• a home wedding the
bridal party enter as follows: The
officiating clergyman should enter the
room first and he is immediately fol-
lowed by the bridegroom and his best
man. When they reach the part of
the room where the ceremony is to be
perforrned they turn and face the
guests, who stand on either side, leav-
ing a space or aisle for the bridal
party to walk along. The two brides-
maids enter side by side or singly, as
you prefer, then the bride, who slips
her arm through the left arm of her
father or the person who is to give
her in marriage in his place. When
they reach the- improvised altar the
father steps aside and the bridegroom
takes his place.

Azoturia is caused by high feeding
during a few days' rest. After going
a variable distance, the horse shows

Lesson I. Isaiah's Call To Heroic
Service --Isaiah 6. Golden
Text---Isa. 6. 8.
Verse 1. Uzziah—One of the most
'successful kiegs of Judahreigned
about B. 0, 789-740. The vision might
be regarded as an answer to the
anxious questionings; With the old
king gone, what will become of the
people? Answer: Jehovah is still
King. SaW—In a vision or trance.
The important thing is the reality of
the spiritual experienee, not the man-,
ner in which it came.
2. Seraphim—Mentioned only here
in the Old Testament as supernatural
beings. Their function in the vision
is purely symbolical: they are attend-
ants at Jehovah's court. The same
Hebrew word is applied to destructive
serpents in Num, 21. 6 and to the
Image made by Moses on that occasion.
Since the latter seems to have had a
prominent place ill the temple at this
time (2 Kliegs 18. 4), it may have
illaaiehe4 1,4 basis for these sym-
bolical figuree.
8, Holy—The repetitien is for the
sake of emphasis, The Hebrew word
gleam otiginally "separate." When
Applied by the prophets to the deity,
it means (1) deity is separate or dis-
tinct front his creation; (2) he is sepa-
rated from all that is liniited, in a
physical as well as moral sense; (3)
it includes the entire essential nature
Of God, especially in its moral aspects;
practically equivalent to "God head."
Glory --The divine holiness reveale it-
self in his gorious manifestations,
which may be seen everywhere in na-
ture, history etc.
5. Woe—The enlargement of the
conception of Jehovah was followed
immediately by a keener appreciation
of his own shortcomings and the short-
comings of his people; hence the cry.
The rest of the verse gives the reasons
for his fears. Unclean lips—Isaiah's
consciousness of danger springs from
his consciousness of sin. Seen the
King—The sight of God brings death
(Exod. 19. 21. 30, 20. etc.)
8-10. —The purification has fitted
the prophet for intercourse with
:Jehovah; now he hears the divine voice
for the first thne. Go—not) one of
the prophets is forced into his office,
but there must bc'a can. and commis-
sion. Hear—In order to understand
verses 9 and 10, the reader must try
to appreciate the mental attitude and
reasoning of the ancient' Hebrew.
They did not consider secondary
causes or inevitable natural or spiri-
tual laws. Every extraordinary
event -was explained as due to direct
divine interference, The stubbornness
of the people was so monstrous that it
became explicable to the proehet only
on the assumption that Jehovah had
ordained it.
11-13. How long—The divine holi-
ness cannot permit the hardening to
coetinue forever; but when will the
end dome? The answer is disappoint-
ing. There is nothing in sight but
eetile and desolation. Only a prophet
sure of his call would stick to his post
under such circumstances. Holy seed
—The remnant that escapes, though
small, will become the nucleus of the
new Isreel.
To sum up, the truths impressed
upon Isaiah during this spiritual crisis
Were: (1) The holiness and sepremaey
of jehovah; (2) his own uncleanness,
eleansing, and call; (3) the corruption
and stubbornness of his people; (4)
the certainty of judgment; (5) the
preservation of a remnant.; and (6)
the conviction that this remeant is to
be the eeed of a new Istee1,
Drying Fruits and Vegetables
Man's primitive effort to avail himself Qt nature's gift in conserving and
storing of foods for winthr use was by sun -drying. In many parts of Europe
this method alene is used in caring for the abundant harvests, To success-
fully dry fruits and vegetables a drier is essential. Asmall one may be
constructed at home, This will enable the housewife to hriag it indoors in
case of sudden storm.
By the drying procees the housekeeper can take care of all surplus foods
for which she caneot find cans or jars. Small quantities can be dried dailY,
these may be ground with meal or elateand made into palatable bread.
entailing little work. ,
Peas, beans and corn may be dried, and, if the necessity should arise,
HMV 'Po Dry Peas:
Shell peas, spread on tray of the drier, place in the sun or a place where
a strong current of air will strike the drier. At first have a single layer
of peas. After the drying has, commenced several trays may be thrown
together, Peas should be dried until, when one is dropped upon a plate
or table, it gives off a hollow sound. This usually will be accomplished
in three to five days. It is possible to dry vegetables and fruits and even
beef in this avay. •
After the peas are thoroughly dried they must be cared for in a manner
that will insure their keeping qualities.
It is necessary to make bags of cheesecloth. Place the dried peas in
these bags, wrap in newspaper, then again in a piece of cheesecloth. Now
give the bag a coat of whitewash, taking care to apply it thoroughly about
the string -end of the bag. Hang by string from ceiling in dry, cool store-
room, or cellar, or they may be packed in an old washboiler. "Olean old
pillow slips or other pieces of muslin may be used in place of the cheese-
cloth. A good size to make bags is 8 by 12 inches.
Beans may be dried by the same method.

To construct the drier, have twelve
Pieces of lumber, 2 by 2, each 16

skeleton box, using screws to fasten.
Place alaate screw -eye at the bottom at each of the four corners, so that
the drier will set on these screw -eyes. Every four inches down the foui
uprights of the drier place a screw eye, these to act as holders for the
shelves, which will be placed upon' them. Make skeleton eleelves from
1 by 1 lumber. Each shelf will take two pieces 16 inches long and two
pieces 18 inches long. Cover witheecreen wire and paint with white
enamel to prevent rusting. These trays will slide into the skeleton
frame. The whole thing may be ,covered with a clean piece of cheese-
cloth while the fruit is drying, so that dust cannot come in contact with
the drying foods.

Put a pair of old cultivatda wheels
on the front end of the hog chute and
it can be moved from one pen to an-
other in half the time and with less
work.
Poisoning rats in the hog lots is
rather risky business. Pork is too
high to be killed in that way.
It is well to be alarmed over the cer-
tainty of a decrease per capita in the
number of cattle, hogs and sheep.
Meat, milk, butterfat and wool con-
stitute a great reserve force in our

WHEAT AND NEXT YEAR'S FOOD
Careful Directions For the Culture of Winter Wheat—A Very
Necessary Crop in View of the Present Food Shortage.
By Henry G.
With maximum swing „wheat yields
both in this country and in the United
States, the total production for 1917
will total about 1,132,764,000. bushels.
Estimating 6% bushels of wheat per
capita for home consumption there is
a remainder for shipment abroad frorn
both countries of only about 339,000,-
000 bushels. The figures for spring
wheat of course are entirely prob-
lematic. Full reports have not been
published as to the probable area seed-
ed to spring wheat in North America
and weather conditions in some parts
of the continent are none too favor-
able. There will be a demand for
evety bushel of wheat that this contin-
ent can produce. There is consider-
able talk of price guarantee at $1.50 a
bushel or over. Wheat at a dollar a
bushel is profitable; what the farmer
gets more than this makes wheat
growing all the more profitable.
The time for reseeding winter wheat
is but three months distant. Every-
thing possible should be done to in-
sure a good successful seeding next
autumn.
High Points of Wheat Culture.
Wheat thrives best when fed "to the
limit". The pla.nifood of good sub-
stantial soil should be supplemented.
Well rotted manure worked into the
seed bed. supplies considerable food.
Big results areebeing obtained by drill
-
Mg in 200 to :400 pounds per acre of
fertilizer at the time the wheat is
seeded. For an average wheat soil
this plantfood should carry from 2 to
3% ammonia, 'about 8% available
phosphoricic and 1 to potash.
The ammonia gives the young plants
a quick start. Phosphoric acid as-
sists the root growth of the young
crop while the potash gives the plant
disease -resistance and general vigor.
All three do for the young wheat crop
what whole milk does for the young
calf.
Wheatdoes best on a ‘well-prepared,
medium loam soil, The big thing
that the crop needs first is moisture.
No plantfood can enter the wheat crop
unless it is dissolved in the soil water
and root juices. Poesibly you are
planning to summer -fallow land in
preparation for wheat. If this is the
case, be sure to keep the surface of
the summer-fallowed land tilled euf-
ficientlY often to kill all the weeds and
preserve a surface dust mulch. If
you allow the soil to pack and harden,
as it does after latheavy rain, enorm-
ous qtantities of water will escape by
evaporation and your soil will be
ehorter of water when wheat :seeding
comes than it would have been if it
had growna. large crop this summer.
The point it.s—keep the surface of the
summer followed soil stirred.
Bell, Agronomist.
e
Your winter r wheat will probably
follow early oats. If • such are your
plans, be sure toiadw the oat stubble
as early as possible after the oets
are harvested. The growing oafs.
shaded the surface of the soil from
direct sunlight and to that extent pre-
vented the escape of 'soil moisture by
evaporation. As soon as the oats
crop is harvested this shade ia,remov-
ed and enormous quantities of water
escape that should supply the crops
that follow. For this reason get plows
and disks into the oat field as soon as
possible 'after the oats are cut. If
the ground is-rairly mellow do not
plow too deeply. Three to five inches
should be sufficient. As soon as the
soil is plowed have it disked and if
it has not worked into a smooth seecl
bed follow the disking with a rolling
and then with a light harrowing.
If you have not a sufficient supply
of seed write your experiment station
at the earliest opportunity and inquire
where you can locate the seed. you
wish. Do not leave this until late in
the season,' but let your inquiry be in
the hands Of theexperimentStation by
the time the crop is harvested.
It may be necessary to delay Wheat
seeding a week or ten days to escape
the attack of the first 'brood of the
Hessian, Fly. If so, be Sere to use at
leasethe maximum amount of fertiliz-
er advised in order to give the young
wheat the additional vigor that will
enable it to recover from the effects of
late planting. In order to combat
wheat smut, spread the seed on the
barn floor, and thoroughly sprinkle it
with a solution of one pound of
forrnalin to forty gallons -of water.
Shovel the grain while it is being
sprinkled and when it is completely
dampened cover it with a pile of sacks,
so as to keep .the gas in among the
seed as long as possible.

Question—C, li. :—I have a piece of
red clay land and for years I have
tried either corn or oats or something
and it always, fails to catch, then turn
the stock in the remainder of the sea-
son. What is the best way to get it
seeded? Which kind of clover should
I sow? The land is high and dry, and
most always is so hard one cannot cul-
tivate it. It has lots of Canadian
thistle on it.
Answer:—Evidently you have been
unfortunate in working your clay land
at the wrong tune Clay must not be
worked while it is too wet else it vrill
break down and puddle, preventing
circulation of both air and water in
the soil. When you can roll a ball
of clay in your hand, and on striking it
with your finger, it breaks into several
parts, the land is ready to plow. If,
however, it is sticky like putty, do
not work it. If left until it is too
dry, it will break into hard clumps like
bricks, which means a bad seed -bed.
Some farmers, after plowing clay soil,
leave the furrows to dry out for a day
or, two. This is exceedingly bad
practice. If the clay soil is in right
condition, just enough should be plow-
ed so that it can be disked or harrowed
the same day. It will help your soil
to apply about 1,000 pounds per acre of
an burnt lime. Scatter this
on the soil and harron -it in carefully.
The lime will correct the sourness of
the soil and will make the texture of
the seed bed better. Any kind of
clover should do well on this soil.
When you have produced a good seed-
bed, I would advise drilling in barley
or oats at the rate or about a bushel
and a half per acre and at the same
time 'seeding the ground to a mixture

In order to insure a good catch of
grass, put on 200 pounds of fertilizer()
at the time of seeding. It will b
well to apply the lime, at least tw
weeks previous to sowing the g•ree

Market Calendar, •
The culling of non -layers from the
flock should be continued throughout
July. The season of highsproduction
is over and at the high price of feed,
it does not pay to keep hSns as board-
ers throughout the summer.
Sell in July old hens, brailers, green
ducks and old ducks.
Heat is the great enemy of eggs,
both fertile and infertile. Follow
these simple rules, which cost nothing
but time and thought, and you will
add dollars to the poultry yard re-
turns:
_ Keep the nests clean; provide one
nest for every four hens.
Gather the eggs twice daily.
Keep the eggs in a cool, dry room or
cellar.
Market the eggs at least twice a
week.
Sell, kill or confine all male birds as
soon as the hatching is over.
With poultry costs so high, why not
keep an accurate account of the re-
ceipts and expenditures? A simple
way to keep track of the grain used is
to build a supply bin in the poultry
house. The 'grain can be easily
weigheel and the amount recorded each
time the bin is filled. A tabulated
sheet tacked upO'n the side of the bin
may also be used for recording the egg
yield and receipts:
The poultry house should be placed
away from other farm buildings where
the drainage is good. Dampness is
very dangerous and the floor of the
poultry house must be higher than the
outside soil. A house should never be
less than fourteen feet deep and four
square feet of floor space should be
allowed to each bird. When a cement
floor is used in the house it should be
made in creases to prevent the hens
from slipping. Don't build the houses
too high or it will be difficult to keep
the birds warm. By using one-fourth
inch mesh wire on the windows the
wire will break the wind and keep out
sparrows. ;
Little pigs that are given
plenty of exercise will not over-'
eat. Feed all they will eat up clean
of a well-balanced growing ration; if
they will eat what is put before them'
they are not being overfed,
A Woodland Quarrel.
Reddy Squirrel was having an after-
noon nap in his cosy home, deep in
the heart of an ()la chestnut tree. -Mrs.
Squirrel was out fora little airing,
and had left Reddy to mind the babies
while she was gone. The little fel-
lows were sleeping so quietly that
'there seemed no geed reason why
Reddy should not have,a nap, too. His
sleep had been badly broken of late
by one of the b'abies that was having
trouble with' its teeth. So he curled
up in a fat red ball and in seven winks
was sound asleep.
Rat-tat-tat-tr-r-r-r-rt!
That was the noise that made Reddy
Sqeirrel wakd up with a sudden start.
He raised his head and listened hard.
What could it have been? A moment
later he heard it again.
Itat-tat-tat-tr-r-•r-r-rt!
Then Reddy SquirrePknew very well
what the noise was. He had heard it
many times in the forest. It was
Downy Woodpecker drilling a hole in
the bark of the old chestnut. Reddy
Squirrel was very cross when he jump-
ed out of bed and ran to the door of
his house.
.upo away from here!" he chattered,
as he pushed his head outside. "What
do you mean by such noises on the
trunk of my tree?"
Rat-tat-tat-tr-r-r-r-ati answered
Downy Woodpecker, as he pushed his
long, barber tongue into a hole in the
beak and pulled out a choice morsel.
"Go away, I say!" chatterea Reddy
Squirrel, louder than before. "-You
will wake up the babies!"
"You seem to be the only one to
wake up so far!" retorted Downy
Woodpecker, and his tones were just
as unfriendly ea) those of'Reddy Squir-
rel. "And don't bother me, for I'm
busy getting dinner.'
"Well, aren't there trees enough for
you without trying to knock mine to
pieces?" asked Reddy Squirrel.
"This is not your tree," replied
Downy Woodpecker. "One of my
cousins used to have a home here long
before you came along. Moreover,
you corne to my tree for nuts when
you feel like it, and only the other day
you frightened my family almost out
of their wits when you were climbing
round there."
So they scolded and argued, but they
got nowhere at all. And meanwhile
the baby squirrels woke up and cried,
and Downy Woodpecker made no fur-
ther progress toward getting' his din-
ner. It was Reddy Squhael who
finally) put an end to the quarrel.
"Pll tell you what I'll do," he said
at last. "If you will not come to my
tree to drill for your dinner, I will not
go to your tree for nuts or to harm
your family. 'In that way things will
be Much more pleasant all round."
"Agreed!" said Downy Woodpecker.
"That is a sensible arrangement. Why
not go further than that? Why not
get all the sqterrels and woodpeckers
in the foreet to live up to the sante ar-
rangement ? There are frees enough
for all of as
"Very well," agreed Reddy Scathe
rel. "I will see all my cousins at
once, and you must explain the plan
to all the woodpeckers, My, it will
be fine to sleep in peace hereafter!"
That is the way the quarrel between
the squirrels and the woodpec'kers, a '
quarrel of very long standing, came
to an end in the big forest. If you
ever hear a squirrel and a woodpecla
er scolding away at each other you
may know that one of them has brok-
en the agreenieet, and that Elie council
