The American IVanty tw mi J tlu
oM Rmliina lien don't usually thrive ns
the; ought to on the same lawn that
ts. the imm doesn't.
Wherever oue Umls the silo and the
clover or alfalfa meadow a sensible
and profltnlile tye of agriculture U
pretty likely to In lu vogue.
It la th.mj.ht ly many that politics
more largely than economlea was re
aKn(illiU" fori tie unprecedented slump
Id bog iliirivg the winter months.
It hi claimed that the sweetness and
flavor of a gixxl orange may lie In
creased by "eling. quartering and al
lowing it to stand In a cold place over
night. Cuss words and blows in the dairy
barn mean Just so many less dollars
In the monthly cream check. There are
a lot of farmers who haven't got ou to
this fact yet.
Alfalfa hay at $15. with five tons
raised to the acre, accouuts for a large
share of the prosjierlty to lie found In
those iioriions of the country where
this valuable cereal thriTes.
The work In the average town or
country home Is hard and burdensome
enough at !cst without there being an
Inadequate or unhandy supply of fuel
and of hard and soft water.
Flocks of sheep and substantial
fence are to tie found on the best
farms of the country today. The man
who doesn't have either improvement
Is certainly not living up to his agri
cultural opiHirtunlties.
The hog raiser and the man on a sal
ary both have just ground for a kick
with live hogs selling at 4 cents per
IHHind and bacon and hams retailing at
from 18 to '1 cents. The gap between
the raw and linlsbed product is greater
than there Ut any possible excuse for.
Keports are to the effect that eggs
may lie kept a long time and In excel
lent (-audition by wiping them clean
nnd cuaiiiiy-fluMii with lard. While the
Ice4if!!gy,iatie of the egg may be
"""'""h-ably increased in this way. we
t"ejjjfJou jf the method Is as effective
-the water glass solution.
Some Idea -f the part old B!ddy now
and then plays tit the busting of the
egg trust Is gathered from the fact that
during a period of ubout four days in
the middle or March 44.r7.520 eggs
were shipped into the city of New York
alone. As n result of this deluge of
hen fruit there was a slump in the
price of eggs of about 5 cents per
dozen.
One of the chief sources of food for
the inhabitants of the Hawaiian Is-
lands Is the tuberous root of the taro
plant, which somewhat resembles the
water illy. The roots of this plant are
' ground up Into pulp and allowei! to
sour. In which form it is called "pol."
t The stuff is very sticky, and the na
' tives eat It by sticking their fingers
' into a dish of it and then licking them
off.
; That boy is a mighty unsatisfactory
and unpromising proposition, both for
himself and other folks, who Is lazy as
all get out. but still Insists on having
three square meals a day. It U a
source of Increasing exasperation on
the part of those who have to put up
with folks of this type that their con
stitutional Inactivity Is almost always
accompanied by a remarkably sound
Btate of physical health.
- A friend the writer knew some years
ago fitted himself for the ministry.
While possessing sincerity and earnest
ness to a marked degree, he was so
diffident and 111 at ease in the pulpit
that his health broke down, and as a
result be had to quit his pastoral work.
He moved on to a farm which he own
sd and today runs a model dairy, from
which be supplies milk to a large num
ber of customers in a nearby town.
While be no longer has a pulpit from
, which to preach, he still has the same
tpportunlty to deal squarely with bis
'ellows and to give "good measure,
ressed down and running over."
, While it Is always one of the busiest
jerlods of the year, the best time for
mining In the orchard Is during April,
day and June, as during these months
ears that are made most quickly heal
ver, thereby lessening the possibility
hat the process of decay will set In at
he point of cutting and thus weaken
be tree. If the limb cut off is more
han an inch In diameter it is well to
alnt the cut with white lead and oil.
ill limbs removed should be cut as
lose as possible to the trunk or main
ranch, while. In removing one of two

tde of the main branch rather than

The person who payg his ohllgatlona
by a check on his deposit In the bank
always has at band an automatic re
ceipt which prevents his paying the
same account I wire. Of course this
situation preaupMvs bank account,
which la also a pretty good proposition.
It Is a very natural Instinct perhaps
for boys and this is true of some
grown gray headed to flud greater
(est In doing a job for one's neighbor
than for one's own folks. Perhaps the
appreciation they get for the service
performed has something to do with
the situation described.
' There is absolutely no method of
protecting from the green goods man.
the swindler and grafter the fellow
who does.i't read. And, as a rule, the
fellow who doestf t read and quite like
ly doesu't think hasn't the reasoning
faculty sufficiently developed to draw
helpful deductions from his own ex-
Mrlence.
Millet, which Is Just the thing to
sow on the low places on the farm,
furnishes a grain supply which, when
ground with oats or barley, makes au
excellent f.itteulng ration for leof.
While millet hay makes a fair rough
age ration for cattle If cured at the
proHr time. It Is not so good as tim
othy, alsike or clover.
It Is well for the good housewife to
keep In mind that the man of the house
and youngsters enjoy a variety of food,
as do the animals In the barn. She
should vary the soda-blscult-frled-po-
tato-sa It-pork ration now and then
and give them a surprise. It is more
than likely, too, that she herself will
enjoy the change of ration. While
the change of diet may not make tbelr
coats more sleek. It ts quite likely to
brighten their eyes and whet their ap
petites. Where a business man has employ
ment In a city which is easily reached
from suburban locations it Is desirable
from many points of view to have
one's home In such a district. Here
bis family bare the sunshine and pure
air of the country, while the advan
tages offered by the city are also avail
able. Moreover, be himself Buds
needed relief and relaxation In the
quiet of the country surroundings,
there being usually enough to do about
the place to give htm the physical ei.
erclse which he ought to have if be
would keep In the best trim for his
city work.
The view that Is held by many folks
and one that Is common in the speech
of a great many more, whether they
believe In It or not, is that Ice which
suddenly disappears In ponds and riv
ers at the coming of warm weather
"sinks." This Is a superstition pure
and simple, for there is Just the same
unerring physical law tending to make
It float in the spring as makes it stay
on the surface of the water when It
forms In the early winter. The solu
tion of the phenomenon ts not difficult
When a certain point Is reached In the
melting and rotting of the ice It sud
denly disintegrates Into millions of
tiny spines or needles, which, exposed
to the water of a warmer temperature,
quickly melt The only instance in
which a body of ice would sink would
be when it was mixed with or attached
to an amount of dirt or stones which
would make its specific gravity more
than tie water which it displaces, there
by causing It to sink rather than float
When one Is thinking of putting
money Into this or that enterprise It is
always well to view with suspicion a
proposition of whatever description
which promises more than a legitimate
return for the use of one's money. One
method that Is often followed by the
worst type of grafters so as to make
investors In their games believe that
offers of abnormal returns on the in
vestment are sincere is to return to
them two or three large Interest pay
mentsjust enough to Increase the ap
petite for speculation and cause them
to put In still more. In reality these
payments are taken right out of the
first installment of money sent In rath
er than being the legitimate return of
the Investment of such funds in a
money making enterprise. But the In
vestor finds, to his sorrow, that subse
quent returns are not forthcoming.
Even In such cases as the one Just
cited the abnormal Interest return may
be safely taken as a danger signal.
The wise person will beed It and keep
his money where he can put bis hands
on it
The growing scarcity of post timber
In the United States, coupled with a
corresponding rise in price for posts
of any description, lends additional
force to the necessity of giving posts
of whatever kind a preservative treat
ment which will Increase tbelr period
of service from four to eight fold. An
estimate Is made In a recent bulletin
on the subject issued by the forest
service of the federal government that
a fencepost which under ordinary cir
cumstances will last two years wQl If
given a preservative treatment costing
10 cents last eighteen years. Putting
this in black and white, the bulletin
states that the initial cost of loblolly
pine post Is about 8 cents, while the
cost of setting Is 6 cents. Compound
ing Interest at 5 per cent, the annual
cost of such a post, supposing It would
last two years, would be 7.G3 cents. A
preservative treatment costing 10 cents
per post will increase Its nse to eight
een years. In this case the post when
set costs 24 cents, wblcb, compounded
at 5 per cent, gives an annual charge
of 2.01 cents, which makes the saving
due to the preservative treatment 5.49
cents a year. In view of these figures
every landowner who has fences to
build should look up thoroughly this
matter of a preservative treatment af
posts.

To Get a Batter Crack at Him.
A Sunday school teacher recently
asked bis pet scholar why they took
Stephen outside tho walls of the city
to stone him to death. The little fel
low was silent for a moment as though
absorbed with the problem, when,
brightening up suddenly, he replied.
So they could get a better crack at
him."

Preparing For the Wort.
A French gentleman anxious to find
a wife for a nephew went to a matri
monial agent, who handed him his list
of lady clients. Cunning through this
he came to bis wife's name, entered as
desirous of obtaining a husband be
tween the ages t twenty-eight and
thirty-flve a blond preferred. Forget
ting his nephew, he harried borne to
announce his discovery to his wife.
The lady was not at all disturbed.
"Oh, yes, she said, "that Is my nan-j.
I put it down when you were so til In
the spring and the doctors said we
must prepare for the worst"
Indians on Education.
In 1744, at the treaty of the govern
ment of Virginia with the Six Nations
at Lancaster, Pa., the Indians were
Invited to send six youths to Williams
burg college to be educated free. It Is
a rule of Indian courtesy not to answer
Important questions on the day they
are asked. After deliberating they
declined the Invitation. They said that
they had sent several young men to
the colleges of the northern provinces
and when they returned they were
poor runners, ignorant of how to get a
living In the woods, could not bear cold
or hunger, could not build a cabin, take
a deer or kill an enemy and spoke their
own language badly. They were not
fit for hunters, warriors or councilors.
They were totally good for nothing.
"If the gentlemen of Virginia will send
us a dozen of their sons, we will take
great care of their education, Instruct
them in all we know and make men of
them."
How Bismarck Got Well.
"Do you not flud it a great relief,"
asked Bismarck of Count Heust at Oas

you are In a passion One day I was
over there" pointing to the windows
of the emperor's apartments opposite
"and I got into a violent rage. On
leaving I shut the door violently, and
the key remained In my hand. I went
to Lehndorfs room and threw the key
into the basin, which broke into a hun
dred pieces. 'What is the matter?' bs
exclaimed. 'Are you ill? 'I was 111,' I
replied, 'but I am now quite wU,
thank you.' "
