Good Timber 
G OOD timber is an asset; and, Friend Farmer, you have it in 
your boys and girls. How are you training them? Are you, 
by practice and precept, teaching them in the Home that—Salva¬ 
tion is more important than gold? That—A clean heart is more to 
be desired than fine clothes? 
Behold ! 
“The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul. 
The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. 
The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart. 
The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eye. 
The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever. 
The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. 
More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold.” 
Psalm 19 : 7-10. 
Spring Care of the Bedding 
Systematic Examination Saves Wear and Tear 
I T is often said that a third of our lives is 
spent in sleeping. Surely, then, that 
third should be made as comfortable and 
sanitary as possible. 
Before the bedding is stored away for 
the summer months it should be given a 
thorough “once over to make sure that 
it is in proper condition to begin the cold 
weather next winter. If this is done, 
there will be no chance of your finding, 
when you take the bedding out, that 
several of your comforters are past 
using, as well as some blankets that must 
be “turned.” Such a condition in the 
bedding will cause a lot of hurry-up work, 
right at a busy season. For that reason 
ours are always in perfect condition before 
they are put away. Then the woolen 
blankets are packed in a huge cedar- 
lined chest. Wien that is done, I know 
they are safe from moths. 
The cotton blankets, quilts and com¬ 
forters are folded and put away in a bed¬ 
ding closet that is one of the handiest 
conveniences in our home. It is five feet 
wide, two feet deep, and five feet high. 
It is built under the eaves of the upstairs, 
and opens into the upper hall. It has 
three shelves and the front has two doors, 
each two and a half feet wide. 
Don’t Let Cotton Stuffing Bunch 
I have known several housekeepers that 
are usually careful to wash their com¬ 
forters without removing the cotton. 
Of course, the cotton bunches and the 
result is anything but satisfactory. We 
take a week off, during the spring, for the 
rejuvenation of the bedding, and at such 
a time, the comforters that are soiled 
enough to need washing are ripped apart 
and the ties removed. Then the cotton 
is carefully rolled up without tearing or 
pulling apart. If the covers are badly 
faded, and dyeing would improve them, 
they are dyed. We always use protectors 
made of a good grade of cheesecloth, and 
buttoned on. When we put our com¬ 
forters back together, if the cotton is 
badly worn or torn, a layer of “strength¬ 
ening” is put in in the form of a blanket 
that is too worn to do service any longer 
in its original capacity. This must be 
put in smoothly so as not to make any 
rough places in the finished comforter. 
We find that the silk facings on our 
blankets wear out w r hen the blanket is still 
good, so we bought some natural-colored

pongee. This harmonizes well with any 
colored blankets, and every spring they 
are rebound with it. I think that most 
housewives “turn” their blankets, but in 
case some of our readers do not, I will tell 
them about it. When a double red 
blanket becomes worn in the middle, it is 
cut into two equal parts and the opposite 
sides joined. Then after the ends have 
been bound or blanket stitched, the 
blanket is ready for another season’s wear. 
A thorough cleaning is especially neces¬ 
sary if the family has suffered with colds, 
influenza or pneumonia during the winter 
months. Otherwise the bedding may 
harbor germs that will cause sickness next 
winter. All the bedding that can be so 
treated should be given a thorough clean¬ 
ing with soap and water. The other 
pieces must be cleaned by some other proc¬ 
ess. Sunlight is one of the best disin¬ 
fectants known, so don’t neglect giving 
the mattress frequent sunning, after 
which it may be brushed with a whisk 
broom, dipped in a carbolic acid solution. 
Potato Fried in Slices 
H ERE is a new way of serving potatoes 
which has been discovered by our 
subscriber, Mrs. Lottie E. Morley. Mrs. 
Morley writes that she is always on the 
lookout for new ways of preparing pota¬ 
toes and this has developed from one 
experiment. She wanted to pass it on for 
the benefit of others. 
Slice cold, well-mashed potato (which 
has previously been packed into a com¬ 
pact smooth mass) about Y 2 to 2-3 of an 
inch thick. Cover with corn meal and fry 
as you would fish, in meat drippings or 
butter. Turn with a pancake turner. 
Add more fat if needed. Salt and pepper 
as desired. The rich brown slices look 
like fish when ready to serve and cer¬ 
tainly are delicious.
