A STAIN REMOVER.
Xn every kitchen one of the handiest
and most useful lists Is one giving di
rections for re
moving spots and
stains.
There is no more
obstinate and an
noying stain to rc-
Miv'lfPWn move thnn a cream
fjlrftfrr'niTl sll'n which has
'wtlliC'M been allowed to be
overlooked. Boil
ing in it strong soap solution and dry
ing in good sunshine will probably re
move the worst stains that simple rub
bing with soap will not remove. A
little turpentine or kerosene rubbed on
the spots before boiling will help to
soften the fat. The best method to use
In dealing with n fresh grease stain Is
to use soap and cold water on It ; the
hot water fixes the fat In the fiber of
tho linen and mukes u most dlfllcult
stain to remove.
Fruit stnlim of various kinds of long
standing, may be removed by sulphur
fumes if the uso of peroxide nnd sun
light fall to be effective. The perox
ide which we buy commercially Is not
so strong that It needs to be washed
out, but if fresh from the chemical
laboratory It should be carefully
washed and rinsed oilt or It rots the
liber of the cloth. The snme Is true
of sulphur fumes. Place u Httlo sul
phur in a dish, light It, cover with a
funnel and place tho spot over the
small end of the funnel where the
fumes will strlko tt, changing as often
as tho spot fades, to another one. Then
carefully wash the garment or linen,
to remove the sulphur.
Ink stains, If fresh and on white
cloth, are best put to soak In sour
milk, repeating the process until tho
stain Is gone.
Acid stains should he sponged care
fully with ammonia In water, one ta
blespoonful to six of cold water.
Alkali stains nSi treated with an
acid solution, lemon Juice or vinegar.
Fresh stn'us are trcnted with an acid
solution, louion Juice or vjnegar.
Ficsh fruit stains, like those from
berries, vuiy bo removed by pouring
boiling water from n height through
tho cl-''tt stretched over a bowl; then
wnsh a usuul.
Turpentine will dissolve pnlnt. Ap
ply nri'J rub well, then wnsh In Bonp
suds. For vnsellne stains sonic In kerosene
before washing in son'i and water, If
foods tir- viiwiishalilo clean . with
chlor&foru. A small botllo of chloro-lui-m
is most helpful to keep on hand
for small spots on silk, ribbons and
lingerie waists. Salts of lamon moist-
cued with wntcr and used on rust
stains, if placed In bright sunshine will
rcmovo such stains of long standing.
For blood spots, If fresh und on woolen
gnrmcnts, rub well with dry starch,
which soaks up tho blood, and when
brushed after it Is dry will take out
every stain.
Molasses, or lord, rubbed Into grass
stains before washing, will removo
them.

It Must L uilt to Turn All Stock
Without Injury.
TWO QUALITIES ARE NEEDED
To Be Economical It Must Be Con
structcd as Cheaply as Is Consis
tent With Durability Weight
Fixes Price.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
mont ot Agriculture)
A good job to nttend to between the
busy seasons Is the building nnd re
pairing of fences. A farm fence should
comblno tho two qualities of servlco
and economy. To give satisfactory
servlco it must be constructed so ns
to turn all kinds of stock without in
jury to them. To be economical It
must ho built no cheaply ns Is consis
tent with durability. Tho fence that
Is erected ut n low Initial cost Is not
necessarily economlcnl, for It may bo
short lived.
Wire fences are very generally re
placing thoso of stone, wood, and
hedge wherever the latter are becom
ing unserviceable. In selecting n wov-cn-wlre
fence, It Is preferable to eco
nomize by eliminating unnecessary
wires rnther than by using n lighter
weight wire. In pastures where only
cnttle or horses nro to bo kept thero
Is no need of providing a fence the
spacing in which is closo enough to
turn hogs.
Weight Determines Cost.
Tho factor which determines tho
price of woven wire fencing Is its
weight, so thnt in fences of tho same
height n wldo spneed fence with com
paratively few wires costs less than n
narrow spaced ono with more wires.
On the other hand, it Is becoming gen
erally recognized that the uso of heavy
wire In fencing 1b economlcnl, Tho
Initial cost of the heavy wire Is grent
er, but Its durability is more than suffi
cient to offset this disadvantage. The
labor and other costs in tho construc
tion of n fence nro practically tho
same whether a heavy or a light grade
of wire Is used, hut with heavy wire
the fence lnsjs so ranch longer thnt
this cost of construction is distributed
over a much longer time. That this Is
appreciated by a majority of farmers
is indlcntcd by tho lncrense in tho
percentage of heavy wire that Is being
sold for fencing purposes.
Common Type of Fence.
For the general farm on which nil
kinds of stock are kept, and on which
tho rotations practiced call for tempo
rary pastures, the common typo of
fence now being adopted In the north
central stntes Is ono which has ap
proximately ten line wires nnd n total
height of about four feet. The bottom
wires nro tpttccd about three inches
apart. Such a fence constructed from
all No. 0 wire with a strand of barbed
wlro on the top, Osage orange, locust,
red cedar, steel, or cement lino posts
set a rod apart, and ends nnd braces
of tho samo materials ns for tho lino
posts nt distances of 40 rods, Is now
being built on many farms and is
proving serviceable and economical
when its long period of usefulness Is
considered. Such a fence Is exception
ally durable nnd should last approxl
matcly 22 yenrs.
CORN FOR A GIVEN LOCALITY

lost by bringing corn from tho South
and attempting to grow it in tho North
where it fulled to mature. Ono of the
most common mistakes In selecting
seed corn is to lay too much stress up
on one thing forgetting ull other feat
ures, some of which aro of great Im
portance, A person will often sacri
fice everything to depth of kernel, size
or length of car, or place too much
stress upon strnlghtness of rows, fill

SELECTION OF FEED CATTLE
Butcher Wants Animal That Will De.

Tho block Is tho supremo nnd final
test of the beef nnlmnl. The butcher
desires nn nnlmnl that will deliver the
highest percentage of good cuts, nnd

Fineness of bone, lack of paunchlness

finally finishes out with the greatest
weight, nnd yields tho highest percent

In selecting feeders, there is per
haps no point more Important than
tho back. A wide, straight, strong
buck, with n well sprung rib, l essen
tial. Tho girth of the steer should bo
large thnt is, the distance nround the
body back of the shoulder should bo

Wrong Selection of Seed Often Named

j It Is not well to blame crop fail

else than placing tho grains among
