HOW TO ORDER PATTERNS. • Renovating a Leather Bag Many methods were suggested by readers for renovating a leather bag that has become soiled with use. It is found that the following method has most to recommend it: The leather should be cleaned thoroughly by the application of sad- dle soap. Where saddle soap is not available, a good, nonacid yellow soap will do, but its use must be fol- lowed by a little olive or similar oil. The saddle soap should be applied with a moist sponge, and then the sur- face should be rubbed dry with a clean cloth. beris darwinil; the daintti showers of white broom and the varying shades of purple puce and mauve lilacs as spring changes into early slimmer. The lovely and little-known varieties of eeanothus (the Californian lilac). produce their delicate lavender and powder -blue heads from May to July, and in August the purple buddleiti : The autumn is enriched by the sev- eral tett-berried varieties of the ber- beris family, the cotoneasters, cra- taegns (thorns) and the common holly, all of which look well in bowls for table decoration. R Good nature should be like all na- ture—natural. MUTT AND JEFF—By Bud Fisher. not use any strong acid preparations on the bag, such as oxalic acid, as this is injurious to the leather. To clean the fasteners, remove the rust with a little pariffln, and then use whiting where they are of nickel, and metal polish on brass fasteners. A spot of oil dropped into the key- ihole helps to preserve the lock, and prevents it from rusting, If a bag becomes mildewed by be- ing left in a damp place, the mildew should be wiped off with a cloth dip- ped in warm, soapy water. The bag should then be left in a dry place for a time and cleaned in the manner re- commended. Oa the other hand, leather bags should not be kept in very warm places, or the leather will become excessively dry and harsh.

The process of the manufacture of Meuilleur cheese has become fairly well standardised and the results now obtained make it a product of the drat quality among, full -flavored cheeses. Tho whole process of making It is described in a pamphlet distributed by the Publications Branch, Depart- ment of Agriculture, Ottawa. New information concerning the cheese has been secured through recent ex- periments. It is now definitely known that the quality of the product is greatly affected by the percentage of butter -fat of the milk from which it is manufactured. When cheese was made from separate.lots of milk test- ing 3;3, 4.•2 and 5.6 per cent. all was of excellent quality and flavor; . but with the increased percentage of fat the quality improved, . In fact, the Raver of the cheese made from the higher -testing milk was particularly pleasing, having a richness and deli- cacy sufficient to indicate the desira- bility of uti1lzing a high -testing milk to obtain the very' highest results with Meilleur. cheese. Another fact ascertained is that the cheese may be, held from three to 'five months after it is sufficiently cured for use pro- vided that the atmosphere is kept humid The flavor improves with age when drying out does not take place. Prodeclnq 1'i'•^•h-Class Cream. •Pine flavored fresh' cream is es- sential in the making. Of choice dairy butter. To obtain such cream there are a few precautions which must al- ways be observed They are detailed in a Dominion Department of Agrlcul- ture bulletin on Butter-inaking on the Farm. In the first place the cows should at al times have an abundant supply of pure water to drink. When cows are compelled to drink in swamps; muddy ponds, or sluggish streams or ditches they cannot be ex- pected xpected to give first-class milk. When cows have free access. to salt at all times, they will give more milk and the cream from this milk will have a better flavor, and keep sweet longer, than when they do not get any salt at all or only receive it at intervals. Absolute cleanliness in milking is es- sential. Only bright, clean tin palls shouldebe used and the utmost care must be taken to clean and sterilize all utensils with which the milk and cream come into contact. Mineral Foods For Poultry. Laying hens require aaconsiderable percentage of mineral elements in their food. When they are confined, and in the winter time, It becomes necessary to supply these foods and the question of the most suitable form in which they can be obtained be- comes important. This is dealt with in a bulletin on Poultry Feeds and Feeding, available at the Publications Branch of the Department of Agricul- ture at Ottawa. According to the bulletih, besides what is supplied through the feeding of alfalfa, clover, bran and other ordinary feeds, it is necessary to provide something that contains these elements in such quan- tities and condition that they can be assimilated more freely. To do this, bones, shells, grits, and charcoal aro generally used. Green cut bone is an excellent poultry food containing a high per- centage -of mineral elements. Bone meal or granulated bone may be used but oyster shells are the most popu- lar. Laying hens . consume large quantities of them. Grit, which is made by crushing rocks of different kinds into sizes suitable for different classes of fowl, assists In the grind- ing of the food In the gizzard. Sonia of its mineral elements are no doubt also assimilated. A hopper of granu- lated size charcoal should be kept constantly before the flock. It is in- expensive, and is a valuable _correc- tive of digestive disorders. Storing Potatoes. Great losses occur every year from the careless storage of wet potatoes in comparatively warm and poorly ventilated cellars, piling them in great heaps and generally furnishing ideal conditions for the development of disease. The proper methods of storing are concisely detailed in a pamphlet on the Digging and Storing of Potatoes, distributed by the Publi- cations Branch, Department of Agri- culture, Ottawa.. Potatoes, accord- ing to the pamphlet, should be stored while dry in a cool, well -ventilated cellar which is perfectly dark.. Good good system of ventilation, every ef- fort should be made to have as free air circulation about the potatoes as Egg Production possible, ' Instead of piling the po Green feed in some form is essential tatoes against the wall or on the floor, tri the poultry ration, in order to main slats should be nailed a little apart tela the dock in a healthy, vigorous• about six inches or more from the condition.

Large quanti- ties of butter are exported from the prairie province to Great Britain and the Orient. ti Save Rice Water Generally when rico is cooked there is a little water that has to be strain- ed off. Don't throw this a(vay. Pour it into a basin and cover it. Thus it will remain fresh for several days. When washing clay comes round, this rice water is just the thing to use slightly to stiffen aprons, cushion. covers, or short curtains, Dipping the articles in rice water makes them keep clean much longer, and they look as good as new after the wash, and the next wast they receive is much simpli- fied. Obedience alone gives the right to command,—Emerson. - G We Sell Potatoes Direct Our vegetables delivered direct to consumer last year paid so well that we aro selling this year's crop that way. An unusual circular was used. Print- ed in blue ink on coarse brown paper about the color of a potato, 1t was ad- dressed in red Ink and mailed under a one -cent stamp. Attached,lnsido was a printed return -addressed postai card, so that customers only had to Rll In Quantity desired. It was mailed to 2,000 addressee taken from tho tele- phone book. The printed message called attention to the previous year's high cost of potatoes, to the extra cost of •buying In small quantities, to the excellent quality, especially the keeping quality of this. offering. It appealed to community pride. by stat- ing that these were grown practically In your backyard. It aroused inter- est by suggesting that neighbors 'club together for large quantlttes. Delivery by our own truck, commencing at a certain date, was assured. The result was immensely satisfae. tory, It took more than ton days to deliver to those who responded. Undoubtedly hundreds of barrels more could have been sold even at an advanced price, for neighbor told neighbor. Ono woman, the mother of a large family, secured orders for 100 barrels. For the previous two win- ters she had bought direct from us for her own use and was an enthusiast from start to finish. Keeping up the standard of goods will bring repeat orders. If a sufficient number of peo- ple on one block or in one section can be secured, so that long hauls for small quantities will not be necessary, de- livery is profitable.

At this age, feed him four to eight pounds of grain daily, depending on ibis size. Most 'clalrymen,prefer to feed bulls the sante gt'aln ,ration that is fed to the ether growing steel[. But in ad - ((Mon, a good leguminous roughage is necessary, the amount depending on the size of the animal. Mature bulls wil eat as much as 15 pounds of hay daily. Silage may be fed to the growing bull in email amounts, say five pounds. • .' A common grain ration for the: ma- ture ball . after complete growth is: Three Parts cornmeal, three parts ground oats, three parts wheat bran, one part linseed -meal.. Along with this ration should be fed leguminous ' roughage and some corn fodder or etover. To keep the bull in excellent condi- tion' :but not fat, exercise is a' factor that must not be forgotten. If the bull eau not have access to a yard at all times, he should at least be tied outdoors and allowed to go back and forth on a strong cable.. Choosing a Herd Brill. When .selecting a herd bull, see to it teat he Is not only of satisfactory individuality himself, but that his an- cestry is a fair guarantee- of a con- a tinuance of that individuality in his get. Satisfied on this point, study the pedigree. If you are a Holstein breed- er. for instance, you . will want to know the conditions under which the seven-day records were made, and you will also want to know how much 365 - day blood is in the more or less im- mediate ancestry. You will also want to know if the butter records were made with a normal Holstein percent- age of fat, or whether the large but- ter records were made from a rela- tively small quantity of milk.. The conditions under' which most of the milk is sold in this country will give a decided advantage to the man who sells whole milk, and for this reason the Holstein breeder is looking for the largest .possible flow of milk of a satisfactory butterfat content. Guernsey and Jersey breeders usual- ly cater to a different kind of market —either a special milk which de- mands a nice premium, or else to a cream market. Therefore, they will pay special attention to the butterfat production. . Type Reproduced In Get. The statement has been made that production does not always repro- duce itself, but that type nearly al- ways does. To get an accurate ans• wer to this problem, it would be necessary to go more deeply into the study of breeding than Is practical In a short article like this. But you have surely noticed that a slopy-rump- od bull usually sires sloppy-rumped calves, and that a good, straight-back- ed bull often sires calves of good top lines out of poor cows. It behooves the dairy -cattle breed- er, therefore, to study this question of types and individuality. It you will study the pedigrees of the winners at the groat dairy shows you will find that many of the cows have fine ad- 4,1 vancod-registry records; that the bulls almost invariably have a good list of high -producing daughters, and progeny which make good in the show x'ing.. Type and production go hand in hand, and it is a wise breeder who combines them in his own herd. 4 ---_..—.- r Mind Your Own Elizabeth Drew tells 1n "The Out- look" a story of "an Englishman who got into a railway compartment with an old countryman, who proceeded to smoke a very dirty old pipe of ex- tremely rank tobacco.
