The man who doesn't keep the suckers off the last planting of sweet corn has just a little bit more to learn. Some fruit growers are mighty care ful how they use the knife, but those who cut the last blackberry canes right off even with the ground do not make a mistake. The farmer who swings his: scythe about now to keep the weeds. in the mowing fleld from seeding shows he has a fine regard for himself and his neighbors. - Bill Bangs sars plants that lay eggs on the ground need have them cushe joned with hay to make them nice. Bill don't raise egg-plants because they require too much attention. Cy Cymball picks his cucumbers every day because he says if you keep ‘em a gbod uniform size you can get fancy prices for them. He's right, too. Some farmers have almost closed the season, but the live ones are running the cultivator throush the fall crops and counting on getting considerable of an income from them, yet. Samantha Psalter says that a lima bean picker needs to be as gentle as a woman unless you want to have the crop reduced a quarter by just having the full pods yanked The sweet corn stalks are harder to dry than field corn, but they make better fodder and pay for the extra trouble. The most important thing to know about hens is how to make them scratch for a living. It is the coddled hen that makes the smallest egg rec- ord. The best things that grow make the best seed.

To Exterminate Ragweed. Editor Social Corner: I read in The Bulletin not long since a paragraph concerning Ragweed being the cause of the diseass wrongfully called hay fever. Now, it seems to me that If this disease of hay fever is entirely caused by the ragweed. the remedy is very simple. Let the farmers cut the | weeds by the roadside at the same time | as they do their having, which is usu- ally befors the weed has blossomed, | and many people will be saved much | suffering.

Stiil, what harm. so long as we are happy, and all had a good time, Do you know that an excellent wash to keep on our toilet table is a solution of lemon juice. A little rubbed on the face, hands and neck at night will not only whiten but eoften the skin. A paste made of magnesia and lem- on juice applied to the face and hands | upon lying down for a (ifteen minute | rest will bleach the skin beautifully. Also for discolored or stained nails a little lemon juice in a cup of warm, soft water is invaluable. It will also loosen the cuticle from the finger nails. Lemon is an excellent tooth wash, and is about the only thing that w!ll‘ remove tartar from the teeth, and it will also sweeten the breath. LAURA S. Norwich American Girls Abroad. Lady Cook, formerly Miss Tennessee Claflin has given a loyal word for the balance and steady habits of the Amer- ican girl abroad. So far from entering upon a bohemish dance to the glitter of the red lights and the wine cup the American girl, according to this rep- resentative of the type, is the steady- ing force in the range of European morals. She doas not, as a rule, either smoke cigareites or drink wine. This abstension is surprising to Europeans and is regarded wy them as admir- able. Not only does the American girl maintain her home standards in this regard, but her independence carries her beyond the breastworks of Buro- pean convantion and she is ateadily en- larging the scope of fresdom for her sisters by going out of night upon sireets deemed not safe for young wom- en and being able to secure respect for herself and to show that women have only to assert their right of freedom and the hoodlums and the roughs will be compelled to accord her status. It is always pleasiog to find freedom following in the wake of the American weman.

A.friend whom 1 visited told me how to fix la- bels on tin. First wash the tin where the label is to be placed with a little baking soda and water solution. Then when the tin is dry rub a piece of on- ion over the back of the puper label, press the label at once into place on the tin and hold it there with a plece of cloth until quite dry. She always puts her labels on. tin in this way and has never lost a label.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: { The price of health is vigilance—as it s the price of liberty. People lose their health because of the violation of the laws of their being—they are not regular with their mealg. or par- ticular about thoroughly masticating food: they mix too much and chew teo little. " The fruit and vegetable ac ids are antagonistic—they do not “set” well on the stomach. They should be eaten at different times. Too much meat is not good even for a dog—dog keepers know this and they vl curb the dog in the interest of health, while they do not restrain themselves The limited,_ nourishing diet is the h diet. The fad of eating uncooked foods, especially in hot weather, tells for physical comfort. These are raw foods which rur: through a coarse cut- ter are by some people regarded as de- licious and nutritious: Pecan nuts and cabbage. Nuts, lettuce and olive oil. Bananas, cream. dates and nuts. Bananas, figs and cream. Sweet apples, nuts and cream. Soaked prunes and cream. Flaked wheat, dates. cream and nuts. Time should be taken to eat any food, and it should be chewed with the same pleasure that a cow chews her cud. Haste not only makes waste in everyday affairs, but it also wastes health. It is violated law that makes the Americans a race of ‘dyspeptica. The nuts used are pine nuts, pea- nuts, pecan nuts and English walnuts. From one who knows how health is lost and regained.

When we were yvoung we were all “pretty well,” or “very well, thank you!” but now the salutation “How are you?’ in New England is met with “Tm feeling good, right!™ “T'm first-rate!” and the most modern dietists say “I'm in perfect health!” believing as they do in the power of affirmation—the helpfulness of suggestion. How well is any onc Who is pretty well, any way? To ex- press it in the form of other day “about so-so!” or “about medium!"” Persons who are well better say in pos- itive form 'm well, thank you!" Doesn’t being pretty well mean that one might be in better health—why a qualified instead of a positive. state- ment when it comes to such an every- day affair as one's health?

Editor Social Corner: Saving dimes is only my own joli way of refrain- ing from college ices and other small induigences that I may have the sati faction of watching my imes grow to dollars. Naturally. the storing away | of dimes or penics would amount to but 1ittle, if faving were mot practiced lin larger wars as well. I find that the habit of saving small coins induces habit of saving that enters into ev fepartment of household economy. Our rule is that nothing shall be allowed to g0 10 waste. Evers bit of foodstuff | is ‘utilized, clothing is selected with | care and carefully worn, most or our sewing, dressmaking, and trimming of hats, 15 the work of our own fingers. We carry a small Insurance: and we Keep as closely as possible i besla. In & word, we all 40 s n to make the most and best of what | | we have to do with. Consequently, the little cilver coins, of which ten make the ave really only symbols of the dollars we save by not wasting so | miuch as the worth of a dime Since T began to tuck awas dimes, [ am amazed at the number of them that are given me in change. Tve known the time when it would have been fmpossible for me to lay aside the | actual coms, whether pennies or dimes; and even now I cannot save Shers one L ety Ao RLmE Gollar @ week, “whatever happens,” this. too, would be for me impossible. 1 Qoubs it any woman of restricted in- come, who has others dependent upon her, ¢an plan to lay aside any definite sum weekly: ihe “whatevers” that happen” continualiy prevent. It is an excellent rule sthough, for those who can follow it. ' congratulate “Ellen.” This yhole question is relative, Pre- cisely how much one can save, and the manner of saving, is purely an in- dividual matter, Tabo Wife may regard the woman who can save dimes as more prosperous than the one who must stand and deliver to iceman, milkman, and the contribution box. Rut I think she is fortunate in havi the protection of @n erganization, to which she need pay in not more than seventy-five cents a week. 1f there ex- | isted a protective organization for wid- ows and children ¥ should have joined it vears ago. (By the way, Mr. Edi- tor, why could not such an organiza- tion be started?) With most of us, “whatever happens.” whether sickness, misfortune, or death and burial, has to be defrayed out of our private re sources, without the protection of or ganized aid. It is because of our had- it of saving dimes. both the visible coins and the commodities for which dimes and dollars are exchanged, that we are-able to do this. Ior the habit of saving dimes is the habit of self- denial. WOMAN-AT-HOME. Norwich. PICKLES AND CATSUP. Peach Pickles.
