Show THE CITIZEN 14 JanuWhen you buy sheets ary white sales, be sure to get them long enough and wide enough, so they can be tucked in at the foot and sides, and turned over the blankets at the top edge, to protect them. Measure your pillows before you start out to buy pillow cases, so you will know what size to get. at-te- childrens rompers should be few in number, large, easily reached, made with a long shank, and firmly sewed on with a stay underneath. The buttonholes should be firm, and made in reinforced bands. Front buttons for easy dressing are advisable. Buttons on the drop seat should be placed near the underarms rather than in the middle of the Buttons on Some of us resolve every spring that certainly ' next fall we will plant a profusion of bulbs and then, when fall comes, get busy and neglect it. Now is the time, and what a joy they will be to us along about Easter time! There are scores of varieties of tulips to choose from. The Darwin is a wonderful variety. Narcissus is lovely planted under a tree or along the edge of shrubbery, where it will come up year after year, just .as if it naturally grew there. A few hyacinths, near the house foundation, will give a touch of dginity. Then there are the little crocuses, which come right up and loom through the snow. They are to be scattered over the lawn. One rule is to set the bulbs in the ground twice as deep as they are thick. Some people put hardy tulips a foot underground and thus save themselves the trouble of removing them every year. After the tulips have died down, they simply set out pansies or some other flowers over them, and then, next spring, lo and behold, here the tulips are out, chirp as can be, ready to welcome the first robin. To set the crocus in the lawn, one merely cuts a slit in the sod, makes a hole in the soil and slips the bulb under. The crocus, being small, does not need to go very deep. The richer the soil, the better the bulbs will do; but do not use fresh manure on it. . The natives of Uganda, Africa, consider ants such a delicacy that patients in hospitals are frequently gven a plate of boiled ants. Rabbits can be cooked in any of the ways chickens are cooked, according to their degree of tenderness. A light, even oiling with a little castor ol on a cheesecloth pad once a month helps to keep patent leather uppers on shoes from cracking. Parsnips are good when boiled, peeled, and cut up in a white sauce, to be reheated in a casserole or baking dish in which they go to the table. Smoked Finnan Haddie is a good 'fish to serve in winter time. Cut it in pieces, simmer until tender, and then pick from the bones and serve in a cream sauce. When taking ashes out of the ash pit, sprinkle them if possible before handling. A small watering pot kept near the furnace assists materially in keeping down dust. Pork and other meats to be canned are cooked first in the usual way for any given cut, and then processed under steam pressure. Directions for doing this are found in Farmers BulPork on the Farm. letin 1186-F, A rough practical test for determining whether the air in a room is too dry is to observe the inside of windows on a cold day. If frost forms freely on the inside of the glass there is no doubt but that the inside air has sufficient humidity. If there is no sign of frost the air is likely too dry. THE back. Here are a few good desserts to serve when eggs are scarqe, as they can be made with no eggs at all, or, at most, one: creamy rice pudding, without eggs; gelatins made from fruit juices; mine, apple, cranberry, and other fruit pies; cornstarch blanc manage, either vanilla or chocolate; fruit cup; fruit cobblers, made with a biscuit top; dried Old-fashio- nd fruit shortcakes, with biscuit foundation; fresh, stewed, and baked fruits in season; stewed dried fruits; steamflumed fruit puddings; junket; mery, made from canned fruit juices such as blackberry or raspberry, thickened with com starch; baked Indian pudding; fruit sherbets. A good quality of skim milk should have a yield of 15 to 18 pounds of cottage cheese per 100 pounds of skim milk. . Banana figs are a form of food not generally familiar to American housewives, but are recommended as a desirable and nourishing food. These figs are really dried bananas. Firm ripe fruit is peeled and split lengthwise and dried either in the sun or by artificial heat. The drying process brings out some of the banana juice which covers the banana with a white sugary powder. In food value banana figs are said to compare favorably with other dried fruits. The agricultural experiment station in Hawaii has been expermenting with the drying of bananas because banana shipping facilities from Hawaii are not so fully developed as from the banana coast of central Amerca. COST OF MATCHES railroad Think of building a at a cost of $1,000,000 just to produce material for making matches! Yet that is what a match company has done in a wild, uninhabited section of northwestern Idaho. Eighty million feet of virgin timber, 80 per cent of which is white pine, was the incentive for building the road. The construction of the line required the removal of 500,000 cubic yards of earth and rock, of which 50 per cent was solid rock; and the removal required 300,000 pounds of dynamite. 23-mi- le . . A number of new uses for wild animals have been found. At Hillsdale, Michigan, a mud turtle was used to burrow through a drain pipe that had become clogged with silt; the Indians of Guerrero, Mexico, train boa constrictors fifteen to twenty feet long to kill rats, play with the children and guard the house; and in Venezuela a species of crane is used to guard the sheep.
