have any of (these things. Later we found 
that the natural color seemed to be the 
most natural color for our animals and 
other things. 
At first we thought we should have to 
do all our modeling before our stuff be¬ 
came cool, but we found that as long as 
it did not dry out it was all right. In 
fact, we left the pan of it in a corner of 
the woodshed for about a week, and when 
anyone had a new inspiration he took 
out some and molded a different crea¬ 
ture. 
I tried to mold a cow, but it was more 
ungainly even than a live cow. I couldn't 
set the legs on right. Dana made a 
lying-down cow that we all liked. Mar¬ 
garet had the best idea of all. She 
already had paper animals which she 
had out out. for her farm and site modeled 
the paper mush over these. We all gave 
up our own methods and made all the 
animals we wanted before she had time 
to take out a patent. I never saw better 
dappled animals in the stores. Really, I 
never was so much interested iu toy ani- 
WOMAN AND HOME 
Ordinary Salt 
The crystals or flakes 
of ordinary salt are 
hard and slow dis¬ 
solving. 
The Rainy Day 
The day is cold, and dark, and dreary; 
It rains, and the wind is never weary; 
The vine still clings to the molderiug 
wall; 
But at every gust the dead leaves fall, 
And the day is dark and dreary. 
My life is cold, and dark, and dreary; 
It rains and the wind is never weary; 
My thoughts still cling to the molderiug 
past. 
But the hopes of youth fall thick iu the 
blast. 
And the days are dark and dreary. 
Colonial Special 
Farmers Salt 
The io)t,porous flakes 
of Colonial Special 
Farmers Salt dissolve 
three times as fast as 
ordinary salt. 
Be still, sad heart, and cease repining; 
Behind t he clouds is the sun still shining 
Thy fate is the common fate of all. 
Into each life some rain must fall, 
Some days must be dark and dreary. 
-HENRY WADSWORTH LONUFELLOW. 
Salt that cures perfectly 
is best for all farm uses 
The Rural Patterns 
In ordering always give number of pattern 
and size desired, sending price with order 
One of our readers asks how -to make 
genuine Creole pralines. We should be 
glad to receive this recipe from some 
Southern reader. 
New proof that instantly dissolving salt is needed on ever 
arm 
Salt that goes right to the heart of the meat and gives the whole 
piece the same wonderful flavor, holds the natural color and ten¬ 
der firmness, must be the best for all uses on the farm. 
A PROFESSIONAL mouse catcher, re¬ 
cently operating in the It. N.-Y. building, 
baits his traps with raisins. His success 
in trapping suggests that it is worth 
while to pass on this suggestion. 
The soft, porous flakes of Colonial Special Farmers Salt dissolve 
instantly and completely. Wherever it is used, better flavor, and 
better results are gotten and with less salt. 
The following safely suggestions are 
offered by the fire prevention committee 
of the New York Chapter of the Amer¬ 
ican Institute of Architects: 
1. See that all smoke pipes and tines 
are in proper condition before lighting 
the lire. Look especially for rusted spots 
and insecure supports. 
See that all woodwork or other in¬ 
flammable material within a foot- of flues, 
or two feet of furnaces or stoves, is pro¬ 
tected by galvanized iron shields, asbes¬ 
tos board or the like. 
3. Keep the first, tire small until you 
arp sure everything is all right. 
4. Watch your drafts. The under¬ 
draft left open at night has burned down 
more than one house. 
5. Clean up your cellar, removing all 
loose papers, rags and rubbish. A large 
proportion of fires start in cellars. 
The Railway Fire Prevention Associa¬ 
tion, which met in Washington recently, 
states that in 1021 fire in the Laired 
States caused a property loss of $485,- 
000,000, killed nearly 15,000 persons, and 
injured more than 16.000 others. These 
figures were given out to show the need 
of campaigns against carelessness where 
fire is possible. Nearly 00 per cent of 
these losses of life and property are due 
to carelessness and lack ol proper educa¬ 
tion as to existing hazards, according to 
the association. The isolated farmhouse, 
without water under pressure, is particu¬ 
larly dangerous when fire occurs. Tt is 
impossible to be too careful, and every 
member of the family should he instruct¬ 
ed to avoid all risks, and to observe care 
in handling fires or lights. A stovepipe 
too near the woodwork, a kerosene lamp 
left burning all night under risky con¬ 
ditions, a bonfire which someone believed 
to be extinct, a smouldering cigarette or a 
match which some smoker threw in a cor¬ 
ner, may bring death and disaster just 
because some person responsible “took a 
chance with it.” 
Use it for cooking and baking 
Colonial Special Farmers Salt is just pure salt, and its light, 
fluffy, porous flakes, keep it from lumping like ordinary salt. 
Best for cooking, baking, meat curing, butter making and 
table use. Insist on getting the genuine at your dealer’s.

Newspaper Mush Toys; The Family 
Experiments 
Desperation is the mother of some in¬ 
ventions. A mother left me on a Ver¬ 
mont farm with five children. Some¬ 
times I feel ns though I am one of the 
children, and then again 1 know that I 
am very much older. Well, when the 
mother left, it was raining and every¬ 
thing looked dismal— -very dismal l<> the 
children, I Could see. What were we to 
do? We must do something right away 
or we should be so forlorn no suggestions 
would count. Newspaper mush animals 
came to my rescue. It was a brand new 
inspiration, 
“1 know how we can make some ani¬ 
mals for the farms,” I said hopefully. 
Some of the smaller children have toy 
farms under the elm tree at. the side of 
the house. “We will make some model¬ 
ing clay ourselves out of newspapers. 
You tear a newspaper up into little 
pieces while I make some thick paste." 
It Is always good to do something when 
you don’t know wlmt to do. 
I made the paste and stirred in the 
pieces of newspaper while it cooked. T 
stirred and stirred it over the fire until 
it actually was the consistency of model¬ 
ing elay. It was rather gray-looking, 
and we Iboughl of coloring it. We sug¬ 
gested colored tissue paper, water colors, 
a piece of indelible pencil, but we did not 
mills before. My little brother would 
have liked to make such animals, but lie 
is grown up now, and I am sorry he 
missed this fun. 
Dorothy made a fireplace with the 
mush and little stones for a large doll 
house she is furnishing in the barn. The 
house is a wooden box. 1 made a stone 
wall. The paper mush Is very good 
cement. We are planning to make the 
foundation for a doll house and barn, 
pul on a pebbled chimney and other 
fancy fixings, 
Benjamin made some balls for his little 
sister. Then he made a bathtub, and a 
sugar howl, platters, some cups and sau¬ 
cers. 
Wo could not decide where our things 
would dry best. We carried them back 
and forth hot ween the shelf over the 
stove and a place in the sun. 
Calamity is sometimes the mother of 
invention. Dana mnde a paper mush 
mouse with a string tail for the two kit 
tens. We were playing with them on 
the back porch one evening and left the 
mouse there all night. It rained very 
hard. In the morning there was just n 
little watery splash of pulp where the 
mouse had been. Then we all lmd an in 
spiral ion ill once. 
We were going to have waxed animals. 
We searched the house for old ends of 
candles and melted them. That was not
