Thursday, November 14, 1912.] THE CAROLINA UNION FARMER Page Thirteen Gleaned Here and There. When making brown gravy, try pouring cold water in pan to thin it instead of boiling water.. Result: No lumps in gravy. An excellent method of keeping leather furniture from looking old and showing cracks is to go over it with a cloth dipped in olive oil, and then go over the whole again with a dry cloth. It is not necessary to go over the leather more than once in three or four months. Gilt frames and moldings that have become discolored can be easily re stored. Wipe clean and then go over with the beaten white of an egg to which has been added one teaspoon ful of baking soda. Apply carefully with brush or soft cloth. The best way to clean silverware is to let it stand in sour milk for awhile which will clean it as effec tively as if an hour had been spent in scouring it. Tea dregs wrung out dry with the hands and thrown on carpets bright en them and settles the dust when sweeping. Flour bags, the printing washed out, and hemmed, make fine tea tow els and bread cloths. Before using a new broom, soak it a few hours in hot, strong salt water. This will toughen the bristles and make them last longer. When melting chocolate for cake filling, it the inside of the pan is first rubbed with a little butter, it keeps the chocolate from sticking to the pan and prevents waste when re moving. Have a piece of pumice stone al ways handy about the sink. It will remove spots from all kinds of ware without defacing. In case of poison ivy, try bathing the affected parts in a solution of bicarbonate of soda. To prevent soreness from sun burn, bath the parts with glycerine and elder fiower water. To keep sleeves up when washing dishes, get a pair of bicycle clips and attach them to the rolled-up sleeve. To keep silk gloves white after washing, always dry indoors, in a dark room is best. The sun makes them yellow. Iron all colored goods on the wrong side unless they have a glossy finish when new. If the iron is rough rub it on coarse salt, a sprig of cedar, or pine bough is good to rub them on. A piece of beeswax tied in a cloth is handy and excellent to make the irons smooth. When washing put a few spoonfuls of coal oil in your boiler before put ting in your clothes and they will be much whiter. Turpentine will remove axle grease and tar fi^om clothing. To remove splinters from the fiesh, put wounded part over the mouth of a bottle of hot water. For starching muslins, ginghams, and calicoes, dissolve a piece of alum the size of a hickory nut for every pint of starch. This will keep the colors bright for a long time. In cooking cabbage sauer-kraut or onions, laying a" crust on it absorbs the odor. In whitewashing in spring remem ber to add a little bluing to the white wash, and it will be much whiter. Scratches on furniture will disap pear if rubbed well with a solution of linseed oil and turpentine. Rub this well into the scratches, and then pol ish with a soft cloth. Soiled spots may be removed from silk or satin by rubbing them with a fine fiannel cloth dipped in alcohol. Suggestions For Mothers. From earliest infancy inculcate in stant obedience. Unite firmness with gentleness. Let your children understand always that you mean what you say. Never promise them anything un less you are quite sure that you can give what you say. If you tell a child to do something, show him how to do it, and see that it is done. Always punish your children for wilfully disobeying you, but never punish them in anger. Never let them know that they vex you, or make them lose your self- command. If they give way to petulance or ill temper, wait till they are calm, then reason with them on the foolish ness of their conduct. Never give your children anything because they cry for it. Teach them that the ^re way and easy to appear good is to be good. Accustom them to make their re citals with perfect truth. Never allow tale-bearing. jjOW CANDIDATES SHOULD BE JUDGED. All candidates for either the Upper or Lower House of Congress ought to be judged solely by their attitude to ward great issues affecting the pub lic welfare. For any man to ask for votes on the ground that he has got or can get bigger appropriations from the Federal Treasury than anybody else, is little less than an insult to the intelligence and morals of the people. We have quoted it more than once before, but we cannot re frain from repeating again what Rob ert Toombs, the great Georgian, said in the United States Senate fifty years ago when he spoke against an appro priation proposed for his own State. “I am just as much opposed to an abuse in Georgia as I am to an abuse in New York,” he said; and then he uttered this sentiment which ought to be immortal: “Whenever the system shall be firmly established that the States will enter a miserable scramble for the money for their local appropriations, and that Senator is to be regarded the ablest representative of his State who can get for it the largest slice of the treasury, from that day public honor and property are gone and all the States are disgraced and degrad ed.” The Progressive Farmer.

Its Features: The disk feed which is the most reliable of all feeds. The oil bearing box preventing lubricating oils from entering mill. The large bearing box containing the end thrust or regulating screw and large coil spring which has prop er tension to furnish uniform meal— this Is what others have tried but failed to reach.
