ON SYSTEM OF
DISH WASHING

This Important Work Should of

HOT WATER AND SOAP
Ideas Differ on Best Ways oi
Cleaning Glass - Have a
System About Work
The washing, of dishes takes so
much time,in every house that it is
evidently a subject calling for close
attention. Nothing is more desirable
than that this work be done thoroughly
and well; still, it is doubtless posciMn
+ ~ .-1 *
iw jiiuii mi- h in snoii a way
that time may be saved for other
matters.
In the first place, systematic work
is sure to go more rapidly than haphazard
fashions. The dishes should
be prepared for wasning by scraping
tliem as clean as possible, and some
housekeepers advocate rinsing off
many if them under the hot or cold
water faucets before outting them in
the dish pan. Hard water is very unsatisfactory
for dish washing, and
the use of soda or Inn-ax is a great
help when soft water is not available.
Borax is not so hard on the hands
as soda. Dishes which have contained
milk or eggs .are better rinsed
well in cool water, for heat hardens
the albumins so that they are removed
with difficulty.
Plenty of hot, soapy water is necessary
trt do this work easily, and a
second dishpan of clear, hot water in
which to rinse the dishes is a great
help. Use very little soap on gilt
china, however.
There seems to be a great variety
of opinion on the subject of washing
glass. Many housekeepers have expressed
a preference for washing it
in cold water rather than in hot.

this is very well. Ammonia or soda
in the water helps to clean the glass
and makes it lustrous. Glass washed
in cold water should l>o allowed to
drain almost dry before it is polished.
One housekeeper has described to
to me a wire basket which she has
made to hold dishes when they drain,
and which is made to (it into her dishpan.
Fitting the dishes into this, she
is able to immerse them in hot rinsing
water, and then lift them out
to dry. She finds the plan an excellent
one.
Another student writes that she
has found sifted coal ashes a most
useful article to use in cleaning
knives. Another prefers sifted wood
ashes. These must be vr?r\ carefully
sifted, so that no hard bits be left
in, which might scratch the articles
polished.
The kitchen dishes are usually the
most difficult to wash, and with these
a home-made "scrubber" is very useful.
"T.nk a broom apart, a good one,
by removing: the wire and letting the
straw loose," she says. "The upper
part of the straw is then put int<
boiling water and left long enougi:
to soften it. Then the straws arc
tied together in bundles about two
inches across, using a strong twine
The twine is pulled light and sink,
into the softened straw, and when
dry, it does not slip. A loop is left
for hanging the bundle, and the straw
is left its whole length. They arc
so long and slender they will reach
into anything. They are a gre.at
saving on the hands, and allow the
use of much hot water." Many recommend
the use of soft paper in
cleaning greasy dishes, kettles and
pans. The papers may be burned
thus disposing much grease which
would otherwise find its way into the
kitchen sink drain.

THE LITERARY CONTESTS
Twenty-five schools were represented
by over* Hvo hundred pupils. The
;'.ges of the contestants ranged from
15 to S4. It was interesting to note
that the prizes were evenly divided
between the men and the women, six
of the thirteen prizes being won by
( married women, three of whom were
over 40 years of age.
Only one prize was awarded, a $5
goldpiece, to the pupil making the
highest score in the contest. Since
the contestants wish to know the
names of the pupils ranking second
and third, the names of the three pupils
making the highest score are
published, the first name being the
winner of the prize and also becomes
the county representative to the state
contest for adult pupils to be held in
Columbia on April 28 and 29. The
prizes were awarded in a most appropriate
manner by H. W. Ambrose
to the following pupils:

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
From Specialists' Correspondence
With Farmers
Honv late may hogs and cows graze
on wheat and rye without injuring
them for seed??H. H. L., North.
Wheat and rye should not be graze.'
after they begin rapid spring growth
as any grazing after that time will
be serious. This usually starts in
February or by March 1. In fact
(they should not be grazed close to
the ground even in February.
My mule's legs near the heels are
sore and there seem to be cracks in
the skin.?R. J. M.
The disease you describe is scratches.
Remove the hair from the affected
parts of the leg and wash thormurlilv
with ;? nor rout tM'Polin SOlu
tion, rubbing it in well. The vaselino
should be applied twice a day
until the parts are healed.
Please advise about growing sunflowers.?P.
St. Matthews.
Sunflowers will grow on practically
any good soil that is adapted to corn
culture. For largest crops the land
should 1)0 fertile, especially in humus
and nitrogen. The seed should usually
ho planted about the same time
as corn, though somewlvit earlier
planting is safe. The seed should ho
planted in very much the same way
that corn is planted, maybe not ouite
so deep and under similar conditions.
Six to twelve pounds of seed per acre
are recuired. depending on the size
of the seed and how they are planted.
Sunflowers should he given frequent '
shallow cultivations when young anr'
should be harvested just before the
seed are fully ripe.
Can onion sets l>o grown in tins
state and kept through the summer
till fall??W. E. P., Willisten.
Yes, provided the seeds are not sown
until late in the spring*. I would net
advise sowing the seed before the
middle of April. The seed should be
sown on comparatively poor land and
the seedlings harvested during lato
summer. It might he possible to have
them remain in the field until September.
It is necessary to plant
them very thick in rows which are
not less than S to 12 inches apart.
How long will delinted cotton seed
keep? Can 1 use the sulphuric acid
more than once??S. D. D., Winsboro.
You may k?ep the cotton seed along
.*!< you like after treating them
with sulphuric acid, providing you
wash the acid off the seed. You can
use the acid more thf.-i once. In fac*
vou may use it until it gets so weak
that it no longer delints the seed and
then you may add more acid to if
and continue to use it, or you ma\
use an entirely new lot of acid.

FARM SUGGESTIONS
In view of the general demoralization
prevailing throughout cotton
growing sections of the Carolinas, due
to heavy cotton boll weevil and weather
damage losses last season, the following
farm suggestions from Texas
Extension Service News, should be of
interest:
Let no time be wasted in making
a safe, sane and well balanced program
for next season.
Instead of the farm being an import
destination make it a point of
export origin by having products to
^el! from the farm instead of buying
for the farm.
Wiry your cropping system according
to the needs of your family and
home.

Always strive to reduce the cost

Thke no chances on unstable markets

not be indulged in.
Have tho scrub animal and the

o THE
PLACE TO FIND OUT
The suggestiQn that perhaps after
all America will find no way of being
represented at Genoa strikes us as
particularly unhappy. She will be
needed -there. She belongs there. It
is, indeed, a little difficult to think
of a useful conference without her.
For this is to be a meeting of a
businesslike, rather than a political
character. It will have to do with
finance and funds, with loans and liabilities,
with the judicious balancing
of accounts. Now, all these peoples
owe money to the Unired States .md
there is none anion# them, not even
England, which does not find the linden
oppressive and has not to consider
the crushing handicap of a currency
more or less depreciated. There
are some advance that condition as
a reason for staying aloof. I.ei us
wait, they advise, until the countries
are back to normal. Dut surely tint
is an impossible proposal and a coldblooded
one besides. There is no way,
moreover, in which we can consider
our own interests save by considering
theirs. To be selfish i< not to be
grasping and we must be carefui if
grasp we do that it is simstance and
not shadow.

DISCARDING OLI) DANCES
P IMi:> iho (|t-tllll>-v
ing news that the Croatian residents
there have discarded their native
dances for the jazz and othei exotic
gyrations that mark the Americar

Americanizing process is under way,

instance to both tlie alien and the
native born.
It' the Croatians must dance the
modern steps, none can deny them
the right, but they ought before
forsaking the dances they brought
from their fatherland teach them to
'their American friends. Mpst of the
European dances, folk-dances at least,
are noted in grace and a kind of attractive
beauty, as contracted with
the hybrid movements of the extreme
and daring dance< in America
today. It would be a fine thinjiv for
Americans, if they do not care to return
to the graceful dances once so
popular and becoming at least take

gracefulness of civilization rather
