Mr. and Mrs. Merrlam and Mr. and alight attendance as most of the chil dren are in the orchards where they re in active demand at the present writing. The last car shunted on the spur, though unloaded of Its wood, is off the track. Those who were taking off the wood thought it would help matters If the car was a few feet fur ther along the track. No sooner did the thought enter their heads than somebody loosened the brake, and somebody else used a corwbur on the wheels to start the car. Everything worked to a charm, and as did the derailing switch. Nobody hurt or particular damage done. E. E.

Bhoo shop was taken possession of by two married couples traveling south together. One of the, male members of the party was taken HI with what was supposed to be ty phoid fever, and it was considered unwise for him to Bleep outside of a house. One of tho couples, adver tising "Jones Cash Store" hitched up and left Tuesday, south bound, and the other, fully recovered, left for Cottage Drove Thursday, much to the reliof ot those who did not like having typhoid fever in Eden- bower. Trod Verrell shipped In a carload of wood this week, which was Bhunt- ' t oft at the spur. He has added this to his winter wood pile. Clarence Madison has commenced building upon his two lots lately purchased of John Botcher. The prune dryers of Edenhower have been run to their fullest rapa city during the past week, and have turned out much dried fruit of a Tory doslrable quality. The various and many orchards have been filled with busy pickers, who have kept a ateady flow of flno fruit into the dryers, and there Is general rojolc Ing over the discovery that the prune crop of Edenhower was not notice ably damaged by the early rains this yean. The itate line weather lias aaved the prunes of this district, and they will equal the best, If not ex cell those grown In nny part of the atato outside of our delightful local ity. Those who have prunes or other fruit are now convinced their lines have, been cast In pleasant places. Surveyor Hammond converted sev eral bushels of applies into a fine quality of cider this week.

The dove and martin can be found In any field if sought for. So can any of the other birds named. They know when It Is time for them to go, and they do not hesitate upon their going when that time comes. Watch these birds and you will be better weather prophets than all the weather observers with their telegraphic assistants. And the birds say a late fall. JASPER.

Neither spoke a word on the way. The house was furnished. The wife did the talk ing as to the appointments. "The sitting room Is attractive." she said, "and the little parlor on the other side of the hall la plenty large enough for formal visits. The butler's pantry la nice too. What a roomy kitchen! And the last occupant has left It neat as a pin. Every pot shines The upstairs, too. Is light aud roomy. I always did like these brass bed steads. They're so bright nnd cheerful looking.

A VERY SIMPLE PROBLEM. Some pretty bright and wide awake farmers that the writer Is ncqtmhited with continue from month to month milking the same old "star border" cows that are barely paying their cost of keep when one-third or one-fourth as many good cows would givg them many times the yield In milk and cream with far less work than they are now giving to these low yield nulmnls. Of course one can guess roughly as to the milk capacity of a duiry cow, but an Investment of $3 or $4 In a simple Balxock tester will enable him to de termine exactly what each cow Is doing. Measuring the quantity of the milk and at the same time testing the percentage of butter fat It contains give absolute proof of each cow's per formance. Multiplying the number of pounds of butter fat Indicated for the month or year and making an a-itow-nnce of 30 or 40 cents a hundred for sklmmllk will give the Income. If this total does not exceed from $35 to $40 ler year (the yearly feed bill) it can be taken for granted that she Is no good as a duiry cow and should be sent to the butcher. It Is as clear as the nose on a body's face, that a cow that will show a net yearly profit of $80 Is Just as good an asset as In fact, a good deal better one than eight cows that give a net revenue of but $10 each. But notwithstanding the simplicity of the arithmetic of this problem, thousands of farmers don't seem to have sense enough to see It.
