A better way than ironing on the wrong side is to have the silk dry and then lay a thin damp cloth over it and iron on that.

"When a dress is r past wearing there will always be enough that is good to make a school dress for the little girl, and with the addition of a little bright plaid or braid not only a servicable but quite pretty little dress can be made. RESTOItlXG A CARPET. An ingenious woman has upon her floor a carpet rescued from dirt and destruction to a condition "almost as good as new.'' The work of restoring was not done by a professional cleaner, but under direction at home. The carpet was tacked to a frame that raised it a good distance from the ground, and each breadth was scrubbed with a brush, using temped water and good white soap. Next it was rinsed and dried as well as possible by rubbing with clean cloths. The rest of the drying was left to the wind and sun. The carpet should be shaken and grease spots removed with gasoline or benzine before scrubbing.? New York Post. WASHLM* i/.Ut kiniAl.\9< At the time of fall house cleaning the washing of lace curtains is an important matter. After shaking the dust out of them thoroughly, soak them over night in cold -water; if very much soiled, let < them soak twenty-four hours, changing m the water once or twice, and putting r them through the -wringer from one water into another. Do not rub them on a -washboard, but rub gently with the hands, pressing and squeezing mostly. Scald thom, rinse and hang on the line to dry. Do this in the morning, and after they are dry look them over carefully and mend any places that need it. The next morning starch them in well-boiled starch, but do not make them too stiff or they -will not hang in Graceful folds. If vou do not want them white, add strong coffee to the starch until the required shade is obtained. The best way to dry them after they are starched i3 to have frames, the sido pieces as long as the curtains and the end pieces as long as the widest curtain, "with holes and pins for shortening them ,-to other widths. Sew white cotton around the bars of the frames and pin the curtains to them, both ends and sides. On a bright day they will dry very quickly. They may be hung over tt sheet on the line until partly dry, and then pinned to a sheet that has been previously pinned to the carpet; but the iframe is much more convenient, and any -man can make one in a short time. A ,'kitchen chair set at each corner will hold ;the frame up if you have nothing better. Curtains washed and dried in this way "will look very nearly, if not quite as good as new.?Farm and Firwide.

This is one ot the standard subject: for the dairy writer and dairy lecturer It is a good subject, but its treatmen usually lacks directions foe being kind tc the cow. There is only one way ii which a man can teach himself to bi kind to the cow, and that is train him self in kindly feelings toward everything, Whenever a man takes a milk pail in hii hand and .starts for the cow stable, slap ping a child's ears, kicking the dog swearing at a hog that happens to rui across his path and hualing a stick at th< chickens, while on his way, the cow bad better "hist" promptly when he reachei her. or there will be a circus at once.

Hog dyspepsia is the forerunner o many hog ailments. It throws the sys tem out of condition and hastens thi disease. The dyspeptic hop; is an un thrifty one; he is alwajs hungry, con tinually eating if he has an opportunity but the food does him no good, as it i: cnly partially digested. He actually seems to dwindle in size instead of t( grow, and becomes "pot-bellied." Hi is uncomfortable himself and renders hi: companions as much so as he possibb can. The cause of dyspepsia is over feeding, or rather irregular feeding allowing the hog to become very hungrj and then gorge himself. When the internal machinery of the hog is occ< thrown out of gear, like any othe: machinery, if continued to run out- o gear, will rapidly grow worse. The pre< ventives are better than cures. Keej the hog well supplied with charcoal wood ashes, salt and lime to keep then well toned up. If they are suffering from the disease, reduce the food to i I?A? very ugai tuei, give picutjr ui uuaiuuo and watch the condition closely, and b; regulating the feed they can be grad ually brought up again..?New Orlean New Delta. WHEN TO PRTTNE APPLE TREES. Orchards trees may be pruned at an; time after the leaves have fallen. In do mg this work one should first study thi tree and note just what wood is to b taken away. The intention in pruning is to cut out all the crossing branche and those that crowd each other so as t< interfere with the balance of the tree And, as trees differ in the manner o growth, some require different treatmeni from others. Tnis is all to be under stood before any cutting is done, and a; it is easier to cut again than to replace t branch that is cut wrong, the worl should be done with deliberation. Whei the tree has been carefully surveyed ii this way, the cutting is to be done witl a sharp, fine-toothed saw, and never witl an axe. The cuts are to oe trimmec smooth with a sharp knife, and larg wounds should be painted over witl common paint. Every cutis to be mad close to the stem or branch, so that m stubs are left. Sprouts will alwajs grov from these and make future work an< trouble. Pruning is a work that is no easily described to fit all cases, but whei the principle is understood it is easil learned. A frequent study of the tree will quickly lead to an understanding o what is necessary to be done.?New Tor, Times. SMt'T IX WHEAT. Smut in wheat is a parasitic fungus o a low degree. The spores, which au swer the pla;e of seeds in higher order of plants, are in the form oi a minuti black dust, and these tre scattered ove the field, in the grass, straw, chaff, alsi adheiing to the sound grain after it i gatnered, and may be sown with it th following year; and when conditions ar favorable these smut-sporea germinate their threads penetrating all parts of thi growing plant and ultimately producing smutty wheat again. Smutty grain ma; appear in dry as well as in wet seasons and the abundance of smut in the whea fields of a locality may be due to th continuous cropping of particular field with wheat, oats or some closely-aluei grain. To prevent smut a system of ro tation of crops should be adopted, an< the seed wheat be soaked for a few hour in a solution of sulphate of copper, or ii a weak brine made of common salt, fo the purpose of killing any smut spore that may be on the grain. A good wa; to prepare seed wheat for sowing is t dissolve one pound of sulphate cf cop per in two gallons of water, or in thi: I prupuruyu iui ijuuucitjr The vheat should be placed in tuts o or casks, tilling up to within three o four inches of the top, then pouring ii the solution until the grain is well cov ered. The wheat is then to be stirrei thoroughly, and should any whole smu vgrains come to the surface they have t ,< be skimmed off. After soaking for a hour or two the liqucr is to be draine< off, the grain spread out on a floor an dusted with dry lime or wood ashes after which it is to be sown as usual.American Agriculturist. METHODS OF CHCRKIXG. ) The churns in use, many of which hav 1^ been patented, are too numerous to be separately described. The churning is 1 performed for the purpose of causing th< E the globules of butter fat to strike on wa each other and by impaction to unite. on When large numbers of these have united Mi in that way it is said that the butter had ine "come," and the particles may be washed ifag f and removed. fin n Whatever the form of churn used, the to - agitation ought to be equally distributed of it and uniform, and affect the whole mass cai o as evenly as possible, in order that all to tl the cream may be-turned into butter at tio o about the same time, otherwise there net -?? 1? ? 1?~ nnmnlainoH ko< y may ue me juss nj WVi, e of, of the fat globules remaining ungath- wa 3 ered in the buttermilk. fac n Of all the forme of churn invented, om the old fashioned dash churn has been Th the most popular. The dasher should 15! fill about three-fourths of the section of bu e the chorn, so that the cream will be sub- 1SI r ject to a yielding pressure at each stroke, ert a and the holes in the dash should be taper- Ca{ e ing, that is, larger in diameter at the the j bottom than at the top of the dash. Qu In the revolving churns the cream is int e made to move by centrifugal force from cut . the centre and strike against the inner Th surface of the churn, or in some of its the I forms to fall from corner to corner or by _ from end to end, thus giving it a more Fri diversified agitation. A great deal of Ge cream is left in the buttermilk from roi churning two qualities of cream in the cut same churn at the same churning.
