After they have become "bone dry” put the shirts, collars and cuffs through a wheat starch made by pour- ing foaming hot water over a smooth batter obtained by stirring wheat flour and cold water together until it is the consistency of thin cake batter. This should be boiled slowly for two hours and then strained through a cheese- cloth. Add to each quart of boiling starch a teaspoonful of white wax, such as is especially prepared for laun- dry use. The secret of a good smooth finish to stiff starched clothes is in the method of starching. This musti be carefully done. Spread a shirt bosom over a Clean board, and with a .piece of thin cloth rub the starch in- to the bosom with strong, firm strokes. There should not be a wrinkle in the linen after it is thoroughly wet and starched, and all superfluous starch is wiped off with a cloth. The wrist- bands and neckbands are treated the same way, and the shirt is again hung out to dry. \Vhen it is thoroughly dryâ€"“bone dry” againâ€"the shirt and collars and cuffs are dipped for a moment in boiling water and quickly wrung through the wringer with the rollers pressed as tightly together as they can be turned.

Rubbing the skimmilk curd cakes with cream, and letting them absorb what they will, helped to keep flies away and produced a better curd. The question: What is the most profitable use of skimmilk? is a most important one in all dairies where butter is made. If cheese is the product sold that removes all the casein of the milk, to whey, hogs have been put into‘ excellent condition as porkers though so much There are, however, many places Wham curd cheese has too profitable a demand for human use to be 8LffOI‘ded. except most sparingly, for hens and (thinlznna 1+ :6 ”1.-.: Fowls Will only eat a limited amount of either skimmed or whole milk, and it does not have the effect its chemical character would imply in increasing egg production. The feeding of milk to hens soon results usually in the milk becom- Eing soiled, and in the end the flock becomes subject to disease. Press the curd dry and them mix with it ouitmeal cakes baked hard, and then melde fine enough to be eaten, and the effect on egg production will very soon be felt after the new nation begins to be given. It is for young chickens that this ration is especially adapted, though some whole wheat should be fed with it, as, howeverr hard the pieces of oat- meal cake, they are dissolved very quickly when theoy get into the fowl’s gizzapd,‘ in contact with the. gastric juices, which are much‘ more powerful in birds than in other animals.

East 0 The time To such persons a gift that simply shows the expenditure of money is un- necessary and unwise; and if you have ’not a superfluity of money, and they fknow it, it places you in a foolish llight. For a gift to~such people the l‘worldâ€"that is, our corner of itâ€"has to ibe ransacked, and something has to be found, curious or beautiful or original and unusual, that only research could jhave turned up or aningenious mind have conceived; something that does not merely represent a bank account, but thought, care, and the qualities that money cannot buy; something gout-of-the-way and undreamed of, and as sure as anything can be sure to be without a duplicate among the gifts. Such a present is worth! more to the builders of the new home, the founders of the new family, than any of the costly things that they could buy For those in moderate circumstances, if the giver has money enough, it is usually not difficult to provide a present that shall be useflul and wel- come and valuable. And for those with whom we have a sufficient in- timacy our knowledge of their tastes and our freedom in consulting them again make the matter easy. But when it becomes necessary to make a bridal gift to those of whose tastes we are uncertain. or to those who are so wealthy that they already have al- most everything the heart can wish who have silver and gold and jewels, houses and lands, then the task be- comes more involved, and really a good deal more interesting. It may be very pleasant to give a thing that shall be so distinctive that it serves for a perpetual reminder of the one who chose it, almost as a photograph might do. [But if it hap- pen to be something that does not strike the fancy of the new possessors, it is then a positive cruelty to oblige them either to see something every day that fails to suit their taste, or that has to be put out of sight on account of its unpleasantness or its want of harmony with its surround- ings. Fifty years ago a wedding gift was unknown as a generally expected thing from friends and acquaintances. A rich father might give a bride a house but it was not called a wedding pres- ent; it was setting up the young people in life. If other gifts came they were ; fewâ€"a pin-cushion, a work-bag, a Eprayer-book or Testament. But ac- cording to the somewhat foolish mod- ern custom, before the day of the wedâ€" ding-gifts has been that of the engage- mentâ€"presents in the shape of flow- ers or small souvenirs of more or less cost. The bridal gift, however, is one involving much more thought, and certainly much more expense. And’ it is always to be taken into account, in deciding upon it, that, whether this ‘ gift is for decoration or for utility or for the mere sake of noblesse oblige, it is to be chosen, not to please the taste of the giver, but to please that of_ the recipient. and early morning while dew is in the grass, and will then lie down to digest whert they have eaten.
