Tbe agent always banded oat a ticket md pretended that things were all right, aod the boys played It on him till be bad to throw up hla Job. One day the old man went and the new one took bis place, and four or five of the gang went down to the depot to size the Ut ter up. When they returned to camp there was a majority and a minority re port Bill Thompson was spokesman (or the majority, and he said: . "lie's tbe softest thing in these yere parts.

Cut oats when one-half or two-thirds turned, and tbe straw will be much better. In regard to selling produce, I have found It pays to sell stuff when It Is ready to be sold. Last year I bad three cows and one farrow. I sold veal calves "for $69.50; from seventeen vigor of the tree after planting Is what tells most. We once saw an old grape vine carefully removed w'-.en the fam ily was removing to another place. It had considerable top, aud though this was cut back very severely, there wore at least forty shoots grow'ng the next spring. The result was that It took fully two years to get that vine estab lished In its new home. If left where It grew it was more valuable than a new vine would have been, but If transplanted it was no better, though much more cumbrous and troublesome than a well-rooted yearling Tine with but a single bud left to glow. - Some like two-year-old grape vines,- but a yearling that has made a vigorous root will be quite as good after three or five years growth. : Draining: Pasture Lands, Many fields are used for pasture only because they are full of cold springs of water which make them too wot and cold for profitable cultivation.

The Cora Phredder. Last season's experience with corn shredders and buskers has developed several objectionable features, the most serious being that they are too expensive, and that tbe fodder too fre quently molds when baled or stored in mows. The first will gradually dis appear, predicts the "Orange Judd Farmer." As tbe machines become more generally Introduced and used, tbe first cost will be less, and compe tition among owners will necessitate a reduction of charges for work by the acre. The matter of knowing how to keep tbe fodder properly Is more se rious, and experience alone can deter mine the best method of storing. That It can be kept hardly admits of doubt The problem is certainly not more dif ficult than that of determining just bow dry hay mast be before It can be pnt into tbe stack or barn. A lit tle patience and a few trials will clear up tbe lack of knowledge on this point Mi B, cans Speaks ta a Report' of stirring Soeoee-Escaped With a flight Wound, but, Like Other Veterans, lias Suffered Mines A Mary Thai Heart Like a Face From Ill-lory, From the Albany, N.

State Grain Inspector Lawrence reports that practice with farmers to gather some net growers throughout tbe Inland tansy leaves, and rub them well over horses at work, giving especial care to the places which cannot be reached by tbe animal's tail. It la an old saying that the files bite more sharply after the first frosta give tbem warning of tbe approaching winter, during which they must remain dormant There it probably no time when they are more tronbleeonie than during the last of September and fore part of October. They are also most numerous then, having had all tbe summer In which to increase. Gladness Comes With a better understanding of the transient nature of the many phys ical Ills, which vanish before proper ef forts gentle efforts pleasant efforts rightly directed, 'mere is comiort in the knowledge, that so many forms of , sicKnese are not due to any actual dis ease, bnt simply to a constipated condi- ; tion of the rt-stem, which the pleasant 1 family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt- j ly removes. That is why it is the only i - . 1 . ;,. 3 ' I remedy wiia miuioDeui lamu w, nuu is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene ticial effects, to note when you pur chase, that yon have the genuine arti cle, which is manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If afllicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere. Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely kwd and gives moat general sati&f action. Qnallty of Vegetables. There Is great difference in quality of vegetables aside from tbelr fresn ness. It Is due to tbeir method of growing. All roots need to be grown quickly, which require that the soil be rich and moist If tbe soil is poor or dry, tbe roots will be stringy and unfit either for human use or feeding. At tbe same time, it Is not best that roofs Cheep Motes. What breed of sbeep have yon found best for tbe general farmer?

Sbeep should habitually rest on sod, or on soil covered wltb straw; tbe soil coming directly In contact wltb the wool, absorbs tbe oil and leaves tbe ends of the fiber dry and harsh; also, tbe earth works Into tbe wool, giving It a frowsy appearance. On any good farm, and under good management, a flock of sbeep will pay tbelr winter feeding in tbe manure tbey make.
