HOME TOPICS.

Faith liochfeiter in th*s American ^gricul^ turullst. lloW TO DO A WASHING.

Washln# machines are usually accompanied with printed directions for their use, but in more than half of the faunlies' throughout the country, no machine to used. The old-fashioned watb board is the main reliance. Perhaps washing does not come under the bead of "skilled laborIt is generally supposed that any one who has strong arms and back can do th work but certaiDiy something more tban mere strength is required to do a washing well. There is a great difference in washings, as I can a«ee in comparing my present task with ten yearn ago. I not only have more pieces in the wash now, but the majority of them are much harder to cleanse this is bcause there are children in the family, who play outdoors in ail kinds of woit'mr. fcnwiu$ this, I am not likely lo be deonived by any advertisements of inacMnee, or to pa, or washing fluids, which [rourii«»e to do "the family washirg" in an hour or two wiibout any hard rubbing. It may all be true about soino washings, but not about mine.

Many advise that the white clothes be always put in soak over nig tit before washing. I have not found enough help in this to pay for the trouble. 1 almost always use some kind ot washing fluid or chettiiC'il soap, especially in summer, wheu most white clothes are used. In winter, a free use of flannels, which are easily washed, makes tho work lighter. Clothes that are much soiled should not have hot water, which "sets" the dirt, A hot soapsuds does not have the tamo oflx:t. Yet I should prefer to wash atained articles in moderately warm auds, before putting them into hot suds. Many iruit stains are removed by pourlug boiling water through the spots, but other stains cannot bear tills treatment. Make, then, a good strong suds, as hot as the hand can bear. Add washing fluid if you ciii, unless yo« have some kind of ''electric" or "detersive" soap. Putin pieces to the amount of three or four or live shirts, according to the sizs of the tub, and amount ot water. Of oourso, we wash first the 11 nest or least soiled articles. Let them soak the strong Muds it little, from five to fifteen or twenty minutes, Keep plenty of hot water in the boiler, and, to this end, All up whenever you tak« uny out, keeping it Romowhero near ha lull. If we use hard soap, it is best to shave up twothirds of a bar (or less if the washing is small), and dissolve it in a quart or more of hot water, upon the stove. Make the suds of this. \Vith a good suds, and with a snort aking, the shirts, pillow oa«eH,tln»xii.t.s and the undergarments, of clean.y people, ought not to need much ruohlng. After the first lot of l(eces has been washed, wrung out, uud dropped into the banket, put another lot in, addiug in re of the dissolved soap, or morn hot water if needed. Some of the HU4- trxr. the tub may "be taken oat llrst, in which to noak the especially Moiled garment*. When tho suds in the tub bojotiu considerably dirty, prepare a cluiin siula, and in this begin with the white tablecloths, napkins and disb towels.it it desired to keep these separate irom articles of clothing, as some do. Many do not care about this, aiming to have everything so clean when it has boon washed, boiled, sun-dried, and ironed, thst It may bo nut to almost any purpose. 15»oh housekeeper must use her own Judgment about what to putin first, or into the suds when it Is clean. If white ilaunuls are to be keptclearand white, they must be washod In clean nuds, and rinsed in clean warm water so never put them in at random among other clothes. As soon as you have takon out tho last hot water needed for washing the white clothes, put more cold water In the boiler, and put into it tho finest and whitest part of the white clothes. It you have used very strong suds In the washing, it Is not necessary to put more soap iuto the boiler, but most housekeepers do add soap, or soap and fluid. A thorough scalding Is the wain thing now. The water should be heated to boiling, and should boil from five to twenty minutes, according to tho quantity of olothes in the boiler. Ijoog boiling la sads makes clothes yellow. After the clothes are thoroughly scalded through the mass, I see no benefit in continued boiling. Stir them about, or poke them down,with a clothes stick. Set an empty tub near the stove, and take clothes from tho boiler into this with tho stick. When the tnb is again on its bench, pour into it two or three pallfuls of cold water. Put another lot of clothes into tho boiler and proceed to "suds" tho first lot. That la, rinse them well—rubbing wrista or children's drawers if not yet clean, and wring tbem. Take the others from the boiler, and ttuds them in the same tub. Thesudsiug water is then warm enough, and clean enough, for washing the colored clothes. There is probably too much of it, and you cau put some of it back Into the boiler. If you have many oolored clothes you will need more than one suds for them. They should not lie la soak. White calico, with black figures, may be washed and boiled with the white clothes. Colored cotton or linen arilcloe may be rinsed in the water which has rinsed the white clothe®, unless they are very dark colored or black, so as to show lint, in wblcb case they neod clear water. They should be starched at oace, and hung In the shade, if convenient.

PROTECTION FROM MOTHS.

In May the clothes moth begin* to fly about our rooms. It Is a ?iuall, light buff-colored •'miller," dainty and beautiful on close inspection, Its highest mission seems to be to teach us to set our affections only upon incorruptible treasure which "moth and rust cannot destroy." But it is necessary to keep a sharp lookout for the safety of oar furs and flannels, and we must wage war upon it. In the first place we most carefully put away everything we can, upon which It will lay its eggs. If we pack away our fnrs and flannels early in May, before tho moth has begttu to lay its egg*, and leave them in boxes or bags so ught that the flying moth cannot equeese In, no further preoantlon is necessary. Clean paper bags are reoommended tor this r»urpose-»tUoso used for flour and meal nags. They should be without holes or openings anywhere.

These bags, when filled and cloeed firm, may be put away on cloeet shelves or iu loose boxes, without danger to their con tents, eo far as moths are concerned, without need of camphor brother strong odors to drive moths away. Far* are usually sold in boxes, in whioh they may be kept. Beat them well when you finally put them away for the season. If you delay putting them away until June, examine the fnrs well, and shake and beat them very thoroughly, iu order that any moth eggs that may possibly have been laid in tbem may be thoroughly removed or killed. Furs sea ed up early in May need no camphor or tobacco or other "preventive." Muff and tippet boxes should be tied up securely in bags, or made safe by mending holes and pasting a strip of paper around the junction of the cover with the box below, so as to close all openings. Woolen garments must not bang in closets through the summer, in parts of the country wher* moths abouna. They should be packed away la tight boxes or trunks, or sealed up in bags. Woolen blankets must be well shaken and carefully put away, unless they are in daily use. Early in June the larvaB of the moth begin their ravages, and now, unless von who dwell in places where Clothes moths are not found, look sharp, you will find some precious thing that you have forgotten—some good coat unused for a few weeks, or the woolen cover of a neglected piano, already more or less riddled by the voracious moths. It is their nature to eat until tbey have grown strong enough to retire from the eating business and go into the chrysalis condition.

Some things cannot well be packed away in tight boxes or bags, and among these it is well to scatter small lumps of camphor or clippings of Russian leather. Some use tobacco, though I think camphor is usually preferred. It is said that powdered black pepper, scattered under the edge of carpets, will preserve them from attacks. Dr. Harris says that "the cloth lining of carriages can be socured lorever from their ravages by being washed or sjfbnged on both sides by a solution of corrosive sublimate in alcohol, made just strong enough to leave a white stain on a black feather." I have lived most of my life where none of these precautions wei necessary, but I shall never forget the shame felt, during the Jtirat year of my housekeeping, when 1 discovered the widespread damage done in my bouse before I had even thosght of such a thing as moths. GARE OF WINTER BEDCLOTHES IN SUMMEB

In a sister's letter I find some good suggestions about the proper keeping of unused bedding. Before she came west she bad plenty of good roomy closets, but now she lives iua house with only one small clothes room. So she manufactures closet room out of dry goods boxes. A medium sized box, turned up on one side, with cleats nailed on the ends inside the box, for two shelves, affords room to pile away her bedquilts nicely folded and then she covers them with newspapera, tuoked under all across the front so as to exclude dust. From the top of the box she hangs a curtain, aud covers the whole with a cloth or with paper, using the flattop lor a table to lay piles of papers or magazines which she wishes to preserve. I have previously described a table made of a dry goods box, by turning it on its side and elevating It on legs. Such tables are excellent places for packing comforters and quilts. The bedclothes should be well aired on the olothesline in the sunshioe before patting them away. It blankets are packed away in these box tables tbey must be especially

Girected.

uarded from moths, as previously $ BEAN SOUP.

A friend recommends this as the best: Soak the beans over night. Boil three hours, or until very soft. Strain tbem through a colander, and alter placing the soup again over the firo to beat, but not to boil more tban a minute, season for one pint of beans as follows: One teaspoonlul each of sugar and salt, half a teaspoonful of pepper, teacupfnl of milk, one tablespoonful of butter, and one beaten egg.

POTTED HAM.

In warm weather it is difficult to keep ham that has been out. The following plan is safe and good Out all that will make good slices, and fry as for the table. Lay the pleoea close and even in a stone jar, packing them snugly and pressing them down. Pour all the hot fat over them, to fill the spaces and exclude air. Lay a plate over the top with a stone upon it. Keep in a cool, dry place, and you will find it nice and convenient all through warm weather. When wanted for the table, lay slices in the frying pan, and only heat them through without more cooking. Be careful to keep the top of the jar covered so that files may never gain an entrance.

HOW TO BAKB A HAM.

A good wav to cook a bam is to bake it. Soak about twelve hours. Wash very clean, trimming away any rusty purts. Wipe dry, and cover the part not protected with skin with a paste or dough made of flour and hot water. Lay in a dripping pan, witn the paste-covered side upwards, with enough water to keep it from burning. Bake until a fork pierces it easily, allowing about twenty-five minutes to each pound of tho ham. Baste occasionally with tho drippings, to prevent the crust or paste from cracking off. Wheu done, peel olF this crust and remove tho skin of the bam. It may be served as it is, or it may be glazed.

TO OLAZB A RAM.

Brush the ham over with beaten egg. To a cup of finely powdered cracker allow enough rich milk or cream to make into a thick paste, add a little salt, and work in a teaspoonful of softened butter. Spread this evenly over the ham, a quarter of an inch (hlok, and set

RHUBARB PIK.

Some very early rhubarb, with tender re 1 stems, does not need soraping or skinning, or anything but simply wash* ing but usually the first thing to be doiio Is to strip the stems of the tough skins. Cut Into half Inch slices and lay them evenly on the underernst. Scatter over this a teacupful of sngarand a tablespoonful of flour. Wet the edge of the undercrust around, and press the edge of the uppercrust neatly to it. JDIp the fingers In flour and pass around the cut edge, to make it close well, eo that the juice will not be lost. Care Is needed that it does not bake too fast (the moat common cause of running over), yet it does not want a alow oven.
