$900 net on 22
acres of Tomatoes
Mr. Lon C. Hill, la'st fall, planted 2
acres of Tomatoes at Harlingen, in
the Gulf Coast Country of Texas. On
November 15th ho commenced ship
ping. The crop made 1028 crates,
for which he got $1.00 a crate.
The cultivation and crates cost
$127.52, leaving a profit of $900.48
for 3 months work. Mr. Hill in
February, planted a second crop
which will be ready for shipment in
April two crops on; the same land
within 8 months.
Are you making as much, with as little
effort, and with such certainty? Think
what you might do on 10 acres. Why
don't you do It? It is simply "making
garden" on a largo scale any one can
do It.
You can buy a few acres on easy terms
and the flrst crop, if properly cared for,
should more than pay for the land.
Life in the Gulf Coast Country of Texas
Is pleasant the winters are mild the
summers are pleasantly cooled by Gulf
breezes. Investigate this proposition
while the land is within your reach
next year it will cost more

of trust in the community, contrib
ute largely to charities and are re
garded as models by thoso who do
not know the inner life of the family
over which these men rule; but in
the private life of the family, these
iiieu are aosoiute, unfeeling brutes,
who think no treatment bad enough
for their cowed wife and children;
who dole out with grumblings and
grudgings every penny necessary for
family expenses in which thoy aro
the largest sharer, and when one of
(he family particularly the wife and
mother, manages to earn a few dimes
by work for others, do not hesitate
to appropriate it to their own uses,
no matter how sore the need of the
earner for individual expenses. And
it is pitiful, but true, that there are
many such men in our midst.
Cleaning Chamois Skin
For cleaning chamois skin gloves,
wash them in cold, soapy water,
using a pure white Soap castile is
good; after washing well, rinse in
slightly soapy water, as clear water
will tend to make them stiff and
hard. Hang up to dry by the wrists,
and when nearly dry, rub gently be
tween the hands to render them
pliable.
The gloves may be washed in gas
oline, and rinsed in the same, but
care must always be taken to never
use gasoline where there is the least
flame or fire, as the gas from it is
very inflammable.
For cleaning chamois skin gar
ments, place a gill of ammonia in a
basin containing a quart of warm
rain water, and let the chamois soak
in this for an hour or two; stir it
quite often with a short stick. When
the dirt seems loosened, lift the skin
into a basin containing two or three
quarts of warm, soft water and rub
with the hands gently, squeezing, un
til it seems clean, then rinse in two
or three clear warm witors, and hang
in the shade to dry. When almost
dry, rub well with the hands, pulling
into shape, until soft and flexible.
Using Paper Patterns
For one who has had little experi
ence in cutting out sewing, it is a
good plan to make duplicates of all
the patterns requiring two pieces. If
the material has a "right-and-wrong"
side, or an "up-and-down" to the
figure, or a nap, the pattern for each
piece can thus be laid carefully, and
thus avoid cutting duplicates of the
material; this will also allow one to
use scraps, and have no waste that
amounts to anything. Care must be
taken in making the duplicates, to
mark all notches, crosses and per
forations on the duplicate just as
they are made on the original pat
tern, and further care must be ex
ercised to make all these on the ma
terials before cutting.
Little Helps
For grease spots on black goods,
sponge with a teaspoonful of am
monia in one pint of water; this is
excellent and safer than gasoline.
Grated raw potato bound on a
burn will alleviate the pain and pre
vent blistering; when the pain sub
sides, bind on the burn a bit of cot
ton saturated with linseed oil. This
will heal.
For darkened tinware, put into a
boiler of water a handful each of
salt and sal soda", and boil the tins
in this for a while, remove and rub
thoroughly dry with a soft, dry
cloth.' All seams will be cleaned by
this boiling.
When making boiled starch, shave
into a little water a very little white
soap and when dissolved add to the
starch, beating in thoroughly. The
clothes will iron much more satis
factorily. If you have the "fussing" habit,
it is time to look to your health. No
healthy woman "fusses." It is a
sure sign that you aro overdoing
and you should call a halt.
It is just as easy to put things in
their, place when dono using them
as to hunt for them when again
wanted and not to be found; it takes
less time, saves temper, and makes
tho "wheels go 'round" more noise
lessly. For dandruff, a simple remedy is
given thus: Take five cents worth
of boracic acid, dissolve in a pint of
soft water and apply tho solution
to the scalp threo or four times a
day, for five days. As druggists
vary in tho amount'of acid given for
five cents, it is safe to use a table
spoonful to a half pint of water. It
is harmless.
Many times it is the parent, rather
than tho child,' which needs correc
tion. It is wise to put yourself In
your child's place, now and then,
and look at things as ho sees them.
The change of view point might solve
a few problems of training.
