From Day to Day. 
THE HOME AGAIN HIKE. 
A small publication relating to diversified 
and intensive farming in New York State 
lias resulted in inquiries not only from the 
Middle West but from the Far West * * * 
which will undoubtedly change the tide of 
immigration from the West toward the 
East.—Sun correspondent. 
Yoke up the team of oxen, sod, and gather 
up each tool; 
Bring out the prairie schooner from the 
shed; 
And, ma, sell off the chickens, take the 
children out of school, 
Pack up the family china in the bed. 
Call in the neighbors near and far, and 
tell ’em all “So long!” 
And nail a notice up down at. the gate: 
“This ranch is up for sale, for cash or 
credit—or a song." 
We’re going to bike up back to New York 
State. 
We’ve wrestled with the cyclone and we’ve 
battled with the flood, 
The blizzard never passed without a call; 
We’ve seen the frost of Springtime nip 
ev’ry swelling bud, 
The blight of Autumn leave the ranch a 
pall. 
We’ve seen a cloud of 'hoppers settle on 
the waving corn 
And sweep it off—oh, they can devastate ! 
We've seen the rust and bugs and pests 
make nature drear, forlorn ! 
But, cheer up, ma—we’ll hike to *old 
York Slate. 
We’ll hike us back to York State where the 
Mohawk genlly glides 
On its sweet winding way toward the sea, 
We’ll hike us back to God's land if the 
Lord’s will coincides 
And we’ll pray to Him again to set us 
free 
Among the hills and valleys, the pastures 
softly green; 
The vine and orchard there we’ll cul¬ 
tivate, 
There, where the folks are homelike and 
the land is fair and clean— 
We’ll hike us back to good old New York 
State.

Belts of novelty flowered chintz or 
cretonne have pearl buckles, and cost 
50 cents. Any handy girl can make 
them, hemming the edge neatly and 
working eyelets with embroidery silk; 
a buckle can be transferred from an¬ 
other belt. A four-in-hand scarf or 
little flat bow to be worn with a collar 
may also be made of the chintz. They 
are gay and pretty with a white dress.

White lemonade is a nourishing and 
delicious drink. Grate the peel from 
two lemons, always being careful to use 
the yellow rind only, not any of the 
white pith. Add two cuns of sugar 
and the juice of three lemons. Let 
stand several hours. Add three pints 
of fresh, boiling milk. Strain through 
cheesecloth, chill, and serve with 
cracked ice.

Some of the one-piece dresses worn 
this season look almost as skimpy as a 
wrapper when held in the hand, but 
they are so prettily cut that the effect 
is very good. The nine-gore skirt is 
very often used, buttoned down one 
side of the front gore, or a circular 
skirt, buttoning in the same way. A 
waist of the Gibson type, with buttons 
at the side in line with the buttons on 
the skirt, is a pretty model; the waist 
has a square chemisette and three- 
quarter sleeves. Waist and skirt are 
united by a stitched belt. Many of the 
wash skirts have removable buttons, 
that can be taken off for laundering.

An Indiana paper, under date of June 
30, says that a liqui : stove polish, said 
to contain a large percentage of ben¬ 
zine, caused three serious explosions in 
Evansville during 24 hours. As a re¬ 
sult, frightful burns were inflicted on 
Mrs. Charles Weber and the ten-year- 
old daughter of Edward Saupert. Both 
were in a serious condition. The police 
report that the polish was peddled from 
house to house by a woman. One can 
hardly imagine anyone criminal enough 
to risk life and property by making or 
selling such stuff, but it is better to 
avoid all risks by refusing to buy from 
irresponsible venders, and using the 
products of reputable manufacturers 
only.

Fruit syrups are excellent for use 
with ice cream, for pudding sauces, and 
6032 Nine Gored Skirt, 22 to 32 waist, 
fullness and those in the sleeves allow 
of making from the narrower materials 
without the necessary joinings being 
seen. The blouse is made in one piece 
and the box plait is applied over the 
front edge. The sleeve portions are 
gathered into straight cuffs and the neck 
is finished with a neck-hand over which 
can be worn any stock or collar pre¬ 
ferred. If made from striped material 
the backs can be joined at the centre, 
when the fashionable chevron effect will 
be produced. The quantity of material 
required for the medium size is 4^ 
yards 21 or 24, 3% yards 32 or 2% 
yards 44 inches wide. The pattern 6041 
is cut in sizes for a 32, 34, 36, 38 and 40 
inch bust measure; price lu cents. 
The plain gored skirt is varied in a 
great many ways. No. 6032 is a model 
trimmed to give the tunic effect and 
with ornamental buttons on the front 
gore. The skirt is cut in nine gores 
and is laid in inverted plaits at the 
back. The bias bands are arranged 
over it on indicated lines and are 
stitched to position at the upper edge. 
The quantity of material required for 
the medium size is 10^4 yards 24, 6-)4 
yards 32 or 44 inches wide if material 
has either figure or nap; 7 y 2 yards 24, 
6J4 yards 32 or 4% yards 44 inches wide 
if material has neither figure nor nap, 
1 yard 24, Y yard 32 or Yi yard 44 
inches wide for folds. The pattern 
6032 is cut in sizes for 22, 24, 26, 28,

82 to 40 bust. 
for various beverages; it is not diffi¬ 
cult to make them at preserving time. 
If you have an excess of juice left after 
canning, add more sugar if necessary, 
as a heavy syrup is best; boil, strain 
and pour into bottles; half-pint size is 
best, because one should not open more 
than is necessary at a time. Cork the 
bottles and seal with wax or paraffin; 
keep in a dry cool place. A small glass 
funnel is a help in filling 'the bottles. 
The syrup is also made by cooking 
fruit and dripping juice as for jelly; 
add to each cupful of juice two cup¬ 
fuls of sugar and, if desired, a tea- 
spoonful of lemon juice; boil three 
minutes after sugar is dissolved, strain 
and bottle. _ 
The Rural Patterns. 
The one-piece waisc shown in No. 
6041. is a fashionable development of 
the mandarin sleeve. It is very effec¬ 
tive in a striped material, which brings 
the stripes the same way on the sleeves 
as on the waist. The tucks over the 
shoulders give becoming breadth and 
6042 House Gown or Wrapper,

30 and 32 inch waist measure; price 10 
c ints. 
An attractive wrapper or house gown 
is shown in No. 6042. The wrapper is 
made with fronts and backs, side-backs 
and under-arm gores. There is a fitted 
lining arranged under the loose fronts, 
which extends to the waist line, and 
which can be used or omitted as liked, 
while the waist portions of the backs, 
side-backs and under-arm gores can be 
lined or unlined as preferred. The 
quantity of material required for the 
medium size is 16 yards 24, 10J/2 yards 
32 or 7j4 yards 44 inches wide if mate¬ 
rial has figure or nap;. 13J4 yards 24,

Paint Test Easily Made 
Service—that is, ‘appearance and 
wear—is the test of paint as it is of 
clothing, but we want to know that 
the paint is of the long-wearing kind 
before we use it. 
Good paint can be known before¬ 
hand as certainly as we can know 
all-wool cloth, and almost as easily. 
It is true that White Lead, the essen¬ 
tial base of good paint, is very com¬ 
monly adulterated with worthless 
materials which cannot be detected 
by the eye, but intense heat will 
reveal them every time. IIow heat 
does this is explained in our free 
booklet. Send for it. 
A BLOWPIPE ON REQUEST 
To get the required degree of heat, a blow¬ 
pipe is needed. We will furnish one free to 
any one intending to paint, with directions 
for using it. Don’t trust to luck, to the 
dealer, to the painter, to us, or to any one 
else. Write for test outfit 8
