Mother’s Doll Story Billikins’ Swim S ———— Blllikins was a big indestructible doll with bright blue eyes and rosy lips and cheeks. His hair was plas- tered down flat to his head. In fact, Billiking was not a very good looking doll. But, then, indestructible dolls are apt to be quite homely. The nice point about them is that the little boys and girls can treat them rather harsh- ly—leave them outdoors all night, step on them, roll on them—without harm- ing them in any way. Billikins cost quite a lot of money, but the little girl who owned him did not care about that. Near the back door stood a nice tub of water that folks used to water the sweet peas and the paunsies with. One day the little girl who owned Billikins thought it would be great fun to give Billikins a bath in this tub. So she Jjust threw him in and sozzled him up and down, and when the cook called her to come and get some gingerbread she quite forgot all about him and left him in the tub. The next day when she went to get him poor Billikins was bald, and his cheeks were pale, and his eyes were gone. In fact, he was nothing but just a wet mass of indestructible stuff that looked like anything but a nice doll So he had to go to the doll hospital to get fixed all well again Gives a brilliant glossy shine that does not rub off or dust off—that anneals to theiron—that lasts four times as long as-any ether. - Black Silk Stove Polish is in a class by itself.

There’s “A Shine In Every Drop” Actual Size =» Bump Clipless Paper Fastener It will fasten a limited number of papers together, neatly and perma- nently, without the use of clips, pins or metal fasteners, making the tie out of the paper itself. ECONOMICAL and PRACTICAL in its use. The requirements for operation are the insertion of the paper, the pressing of the handles together and the spring tension in fastener per- forms the work automatically. No time wasted in searching for pins or other fastening accessories. The Bump Fastener is always ready for instant use. The filing of letters will be a pleasure when fastened together the “BUMP WAY.” llethod of Making Pits “ " For Storing Ve_gefables Select a well drained location, make a shallow excavation about six inches deep, line it with straw, hay, leaves or stmilar material and place the vegeta- .bles in a conical pile on the lining. Make the bottom of the pile about the same size as but not larger than the bottom of the excavation. Cover the vegetables with the same material as that used for lining the bottom of the pit and carry it up sev- eral inches above the apex of the pile of vegetables, having it extend through the dirt covering. This serves as a ventilating flue, and it should be cover- ed with a plece of tin or a short board as a protection from rain. The dirt covering should be two or three inches thick when the vegetables are stored, and it should be increased as severely cold. weather approaches until it is a foot or more in thickness or sufficient to protect from freezing. The shallow trench around the base of the pit should have an outlet for car- rying off the water. Supplement the dirt covering with manure, straw, corn fodder or other protective material. Use several small pits instead of one large one, as vegctables keep better in small pits, and the entire contents may be removed when the pit is opened. 0006046 ETLIOL LB NS HOME CANNING OUTFIT: Made in five minutes.

They should have a clean. dry, well ventilated shelter to guard against exposure to storms and to sup- ply shade. A concrete wallow will add to the pigs’ comfort, and a layer of oll on the water will keep down lice. Clean bedding also helps to keep away lice. as will an oiled sack on a rubbing post or sprinkling the pigs wlth crude ofl every two weeks.

Of Increasing Egg Yiel More careful breeding from high pros duclng stock will improve egg produc- tion, but it is a long time proposition. While careful breeding is always ad- visable, what we need now is some- thing. that will produce immediate re- sults. Betlter care and management will _glve Increased production at any time of year. Careful feeding and the use of sour milk and green feed will in- crease production without increasing- feed cost. Culling out the nonproducers is per- haps the most effective means of in- creasing the average flock productio®:”” Such a culling can continue until the late fall, when the higher producers will be automatically selected for breed- ers the coming year. In some cases laying hens are being marketed ‘be- cause of the high price of grain. This is a great economic loss and one that can be easily prevented if blrds arg carefully selected. ‘Whatever means is used, see to it that a maximom egg production is maintained. The average poultry fa: cannot long endure without high ergx production.—Roy E. Jones, Counnecticut * Agricultural College. In the coat lies the chief charm. Bemidji, Minn.
