The, wife of a well-known Western Senator Is a Southern woman who was married to the Senator late In life. While still a young girl she left her native State and came North to live; but from time to time she would re visit Lfcr eld lioiije. On one of these occasions shortly be fore her marriage she happened to meet the old colored "mammy" who had been her nurse, and who was vast ly surprised to And that "Miss Mary" still was unwedded. "Lan Miss Ma'y!" she1 exclaimed, "ain't yo' married yit?" "No, not yet. Aunt Sally," was the answer. "My, my! Who'd a-thought It? An' yit," she mused, determined to soften this disgrace, "aftah all, dey does say dat ol' maids has de happies' life; dat is, aftah dey quits struggling' Railway Rate Legislation. At the biennial convention of the Or der of Railway Conductors recently held at Portland, Oregon, resolutions were unanimously adopted voicing their sentiments as to the effect of proposed railway rate legislation on the 1,300,- 000 railroad employes, whom they in part represented. These resolutions "indorse the attitude of President Roosevelt in condemning secret rebates and other illegalities, and commend the attitude of the heads of American rail ways, who, with practical unanimity. have joined with the president on this question." They then respectfully point out to congress the lnadviea bility ot legislation vesting in the hands of a commission power over rail way rates, now lower by far in the United States than in any other coun try,", because such regulation would "result in litigation and confusion and inevitably tend to an enforced reduc tion in rates, irrespective of the ques tion of the ability of the railroads to stand the reduction, especially in view of the increased cost of their supplies and materials. They further pro tested against such power being given to the present Inter-State commission because "the proposed legislation is not in harmony with our idea of Amer ican jurisprudence, inasmuch as it con. templates that a single body shall have the right to investigate, indict, try. condemn and then enforce its decisions at the cost of the carriers, pending an peal, which is manifestly inequitable." The conductors base their demand for only such lesislation, if any, as would "secure and insure justice and equity and preserve equal rights to all partJps concerned," on the ground that the low cost of transportation "is the result of the efficiency of American railway management and operation which have built up the country through constant improvement and de velopment of territory, while at the same time recogn'tion has been given to the value of intelligence among em ployes in contrast to foreign methods, where high freight rates and lowest wages to employes obtain." In pressing their claims against leg islation adverse to their interests, they point out the fact that "the freight lstes of this country average only two per cent of the cost of articles to the consumer, thus making the freight rate so insignificant a factor in the selling price that numerous standard articles are sold at the same price in all parts of the country.'

The gate shown la the accompany ing Illustration Is recommended by a correspondent of the Montreal Fam ily Herald. The gate Is intended for Lntiide locations, upon a farm Instead of bars or swinging gatB which are troublesome and apt to get out of or der. The correspondent has six of these gates on his ranch, and expects soon to put in as many more. It will be noticed that the gate is not hung ou iilnges. It. consists simply of a hurdle which stands between two strong posts set so that the gate easily passes ba,ck between them. The sec ond bar of the gate rests on a cleat A, shown in the Illustration. This cleat consists of Inch lumber, four Inches wide and 12 or 14 Inches loag. The gate will slide easily if the top of the cleat Is greased. As the gate Is closed It Blips between the two posts, which prevent It from being pushed either way. Points In favor of this gate over SLIDING GATE WIDE OPEN. those In ordinary use are as follows: It Is cheaply and easily made; it Is not liable to get out of order; quickly and easily operated; requires only or dinary fence posts, no hinges, or latch, and it locks automatically. This Year's Wheat Crop. Another bumper wheat crop is In prospect. Estimates by the Depart ment of Agriculture on grain in the field Indicate a total yield of winter wheat of over 411,000,000 bushels against 401,C8o,8S7 in 1003 and 325, 374,503 in 1904; a gain of 10.314,113 bushels over 1903 and 85,225,497 bush els over 1904. The estimate on spring wheat is 348,000,000 bushels, but there are good reasons for believing that the yield will be from 10,000,000 to 15,000,000 bushels greater than the present estimate. However, the com parison, accepting the estimate as correct, is interesting, showing an ex cess for 1905 over the yield of 1904 and less than 1903, as follows: Estimate of yield of spring wheat, 1905, 848, 000,000 bushels, against 355,183,656 In 1903 and 279,096,656 bushels In 1904, about 7,000,000 bushels less than the yield of 1903 and 68,303,344 more than last year. According to the official es timate, the total wheat crop of the United States this year will be 670, 000,000 bushels. Unless serious dam age comes to spring wheat during its ripening, the total wheat yield of the United States will be about 118,000,000 greater than in 1904 and 83,000,000 in excess of 1903.

Leaves make good scratching ma terial. Cracked corn will put fat on a fowl about the quickest of any feed. A lot of extra cockerels are a nui sance. Kill them off if you want eggs. As a rule hens fall off In egg pro duction after they are three or four years old,' and it is only in exceptional cases that It is advisable to keep them. Green cut bone or good beef scraps will force the pullets to early matu rity. Dampness is one of the worst trou bles of poultry keepers. Sunshine is sure cure. If eggs were sold by weight the talk about big eggs would -give place to that of more of 'em. Lime water is a corrective of fowl diseases and is also a good remedy for soft shelled eggs. A duck grows faster than a chicken, sella for more in market, costs no more to feed and needs but little care. RIG FOB SHARPENING POSTS.

I used threfc tons of fertilizer from one of our large packing companies lu 1903. I used It on my corn field, put ting It In the hill with the corn-plant er; this was on black sandy loam. I had a good crop of corn, but as my soil was in good condition I was un able to say how much benefit the fer tilizer was to me, If any; therefore, in 1904, I made up my mind to give it a thorough test as far as my farm was concerned. This year I used five tons. This fertiliser came from a different pack ing company from the first lot, but was supposed to be the same as to its chemical value. We used 1,000 pounds to acre, mainly, as In the first year; still we1 planted strips through our fields with 200 pounds per acre, and In the same field we left strips with out any fertilizer. The first two months we thought we could see a little advantage in favor of the corn that had the fertilizer, but later on, and at husking time, we were unable to -Bee that the use of the fertilizer was off benefit to us. P. G. Freeman, Iowa. Cost of Making Beef. It has been accepted as proved that the younger an anlinai the lower is the cost of putting on flesh and fat. Suwe experiments have been made to prove this, but the data are too mea ger to permit of the building of very strong arguments on them. Professor Mum ford of the Illinois station hus taken up the question and is making an experiment that will at least add to the volume of the data If It does not settle the question, which It prob ably will not. Herds of various ages are being fed at the station, and these will be marketed ns fast ns ready and careful report compiled of the cost of gain made on each lot. There Is a point beyond which It does not pay a farmer to keep an uniinal, even though that animal Is all the time gaining In weight. The station Is try ing to find the point at which steer feeding must stop, if a profit is to be made. Every day after that point the farmer is losing money and losing the time he Is putting on the care of the animal. The Auto Nuisance. During an English farmers' meeting, the chairman had suggested that he should Instruct bis teamsters to hold their wagons across the road when autos wefe approaching at a furious rate. He received flip following nmiw. lng communication: "As f doubt the power of the average farm laborer to distinguish between the innocent and the guilty, I offer my services. I hold a discbarge as a sergeant from the army, and am a trained shot. At least fifty autos pass my 'house every day. With an ordinary magazine rifle I could get about thirty daily, and I offer my trained services to the cham ber at a charge of six pence per head. I should like to know to whom to for ward the heads. I could use explo sive or poisoned bullets If so de sired." How Sunday Affects the Cows. The manager of the Wisconsin ex perimental farm once said that he could tell the Sundays in the calendar by looking nt his milk record, which showed the dally yield, because the qunntlty obtained was invariably smaller than on a week day. "Our men milk a little later on Sunday morning, and a little earlier nt night, probably hurrying the operation, and the cows resent the treatment by giv ing a somewhat smaller yield of milk." It was observed, also, apropos of the necessity for kind and gentle treatment of dairy cattle, that a new hand obtained less niiik from a cow than she would yield to a milker, not necessarily more expert, to whom she was accustomed. The Oat Crop. The oat crop is one that requires a great deal of moisture throughout the season, and the best crop Is assured by preparing the soil so It will con serve moisture. The reason the old plan of seeding oats in corn stubble falls so frequently Is because the ground Is stirred shallow and wet ear ly in spring time and when a few weeks of dry weaotlier come It bakes as hard as the road and remains In this condition until harvest. It is not a good plan to be In too big a hurry about sowing oats. When the ground has dried out so It Is In good condi tion to break then start the plow. Ohio Farmer, Bod Houses and Telephones. Sod bouses and telephones are the strange combination now offered by the prairies of the Middle West. Yet the combination Is less strange than appears, for the preseut sod houses are by no means to be despised, par ticularly In cold weather. They are built with considerable attention to comfort, and, with an Interior lining of Portland cement, offer almost the advantages of a stone building, and at the slightest cost, while the net work of telephones overcomes the Iso lation ef earlier days. OLD SORES Sf- Nothing is more offensive than an old sore lAilULKUUd that refuses to heal. Patiently, day after day, it is treated and nursed, every salve, powder, etc., that is heard of is tried, but does no good, until the very sight of it grows offensive to the sufferer and he becomes disgusted and mor bid.
