The Children’s Garden 
lTOW that spring will so soon be*here, 
M why not plan with the children for 
i6 ir garden? The necessary ground 
ould not be missed, nor*would the labor 
helping the youngsters make their 
^t. It saves some effort to give an end 
a piece of land where there is to be a 
iltivated crop. Let them choose their 
variety of seeds, after explaining to 
ie younger ones the virtues of the dif- 
, re nt flowers or vegetables. 
There is something about having a gar- 
en of their own that is like a magnet to 
ost children. They need no urging to 
egin one, to choose the seed and plant 
; carefully, but then many neglect it and 
[ter the weeds have taken possession, are 
hamed of it. If they were encouraged 
j persevere and keep the weeds out from 
ie start, how proud they would be later 
hen flowers blossomed and vegetables 
latured! 
But that is not all. The lesson they 
ave learned by persevering will last them

THE MILKY WAY 
^ IRE are some of the many uses 
I have found for milk. I would 
advise you to clip out this list and 
save it for future reference. 
When you feel tired and worn out, 
drink a glass of milk, into which you 
have beaten an egg, 2 teaspoons 
sugar and a few drops of your favor¬ 
ite extract. 
Ink stains may be removed by 
soaking the garments in fresh milk. 
To remove dark and rusty looking 
spots from the dishes put sweet milk 
in the dish and let it stand until it 
sours. The spots will wash off easily. 
Mildew stains may be removed by 
soaking in sour milk. 
After washing your hairbrush, dip 
it in milk. It will stay clean longer 
and the bristles will be stiffer than if 
rinsed in water. 
Piano or organ keys may be cleaned 
with a moist rag dipped in milk. 
When washing your curtains, add 
milk to the bluing water and they will 
look like new. 
To clean silverware easily, let it 
soak several hours in sour milk. 
To clean unvarnished walnut, rub 
it over with a cloth wet in sweet or 
sour milk, then polish with flannel. 
When washing your linoleum, 
wring out the mop in skim milk and 
go over the surface with it. This will 
help to keep it clean longer and hold 
its color. 
Do you want a new refreshing 
drink? Add the juice of 2 lemons and 
4 tablespoons of granulated sugar, to 
1 quart of buttermilk. Mix and beat 
hard for a few minutes, then serve. 
A marble put in boiling milk will 
save the trouble of stirring it. 
If the milk becomes slightly 
burned, add a pinch of salt and put 
the pan in cold water. 
If you want to increase your weight 
drink a glass of milk after each meal. 
Add a small amount of sour or 
sweet cream to your mayonnaise 
dressing and it will give it a new 
flavor. 
To sweeten sour milk, use 1 tea¬ 
spoon soda to 1 pint' of milk or 
cream.—Pauline Carmen. 
The 
ill their lives. Besides, there is the finan- 
ial side. One of my boys raises pop-corn 
nd always has some to sell. Last year 
e tried watermelon and raised about 25 
mall melons, very thin-skinned and very 
weet. Needless to say these were not 
old, but might have been. A neighbor’s 
oy always raises summer squash which 
buy of him for pies, as they are ready 
>efore pumpkins are.— Elizabeth Rad- 
'ay. 
“Perhaps you recall I asked your sug- 
estions for a floral ornament for the 
lounty fair. You answered my many 
uestions and sent the book from which 
made an old-fashipned well and it may 
uterest you to know that I received 
'Oeond premium, or $5.—Mrs. F. B.,
