No Ilea Mr. "Fighting Bob" Evans, during Ms last stay In Washington, was one even lng a guest st a house where he met a number of the younger sot of the capi tal. As the admiral was leaving he chanced to pick up from the floor a very dainty handkerchief, edged with lace. He was gravely Inspecting this "trifle. light ss sir," when a rather effeminate-looking young man hastened forward to claim It "Tour sister's, no doubt." said the ad miral, as he banded It over. "Oh, no," said the young man, "It's mine." Evans scrctlnlzed the young man closely. "Would" you mind telling me what size hairpins you use?" he asked, after a pause. Dom Pedra'i Little Joke. Dom Pedro I, Emperor of Brazil, was one of royalty's strong men. On the occasion of carnival he arranged matters so that he was standing on the bow of the roysl barge between two of his stateliest courtiers. Suddenly, In the midst of the festivi ties the King reached out, grasped a courtier with each hand, and, after holding them for a few moments squirming in the air and begging to be released, he relaxed his grip and al lowed them to drop plump Into the water, amid the frantic applause of th huge crowd that bad assembled to view their monarch. The King Joicvl heart ily in the general hilarity; but what the drenched courtiers thought about this exquisite Joke is not recorded. Omitted. The two old neighbors bad met on ths street "Mornin'.

A London city man recently wrote tc a lawyer in another town asking for information touching the standing of a person there who had owed the Lon doner a considerable sum of money foi a long time. "What property has he that I could attach?" was one of thf questions asked. The lawyer's reply was to the point. "The person to whom you refer." he wrote, "died a year ugo. lie has left nothing subject to attach ment except a widow." Punch. Rocky.

Ex periments Indicate that milk hauled In the poorly tinned or rusted cans is ma terially injured for cheese making, for In addition to the retarding Influence of the iron on the rennet action and the neutralization of the acid by the iron, it also produces taints or off-flavor. The milk cans used to haul milk to our creameries and cheese factories are too often of a cheap grade, and they are used too frequently after they have become tainted, and the tin be comes cracked and checked so that the Iron is exposed and rusts. In these ex periments, milk was placed In rusty tin cans and allowed to stand for different periods, while other samples of the same milk were kept In glass beakers. Every time that this experiment was repeated, the milk kept In the rusty cans gave evidence of a retarding Influ ence on the rennet as compared with the milk kept in the glass beaker. Milk which was allowed to stand In Iron utensils for several hours had a pecu liar bluish color, indicating the pres ence of- iron In the solution. It was evident that the add in the milk acted upon the Iron and dissolved some of it The maximum quantity of iron dis solved in the milk ranged from 1 to Yi pounds for every thousand pounds of milk. The Bulletlu urges that the maangers of cheese factories and creameries see that the operator is a reliable man, who.wllL-not only practice cleanliness. but will insist that the factory uten sils and those of the patrons are in first-class condition. He advocates he use of only such cans in which heavy steel Is used that have been well tin-ued,- similar to those used in Europe. Experience has proven that the cans of the best quality, even though they are quite expensive, are the most eco nomical in the long run. Heating Water tor Hoc Killing. A device which Is superior to the old iron kettle for heating water is shown in this sketch. Take a piece of 2-lnch pipe 8 feet long and have It SIMPLE WaTEB BABBEL. securely screwed Into the bottom of a stout vinegar barrel. In the other end of the pipe screw a large wooden block. By arrauging the affair as showu In the sketch water In the barrel will be heated rapidly and can be removed as desired without bothering the fire. Do not make the mistake of putting a metal cap on the end of the pipe or the Btenui may sometimes burst the piping before the cap will come off. The wooden block acts as a safety valve aud will fly out if pressure Is too great Here Is another handy arrangement for heating water when killing hogs. cooking small po tatoes for stock, etc. A heavy bar, such as the track of a hay carrier is fixed in the top of two posts and (the pulley runs , upon It which pot debbick. carries the lever with which the pot can be lifted. A small brick furnace will get the most out of a fire, as tbe pot sets Into a round bole on the top and receives tbe full benefit of tbe beat Farm and Home. A Safety Device. A simple and effectual way to block a wagon on a mountain road when drawing a heavy load Is to fasten a piece of 4x4-lnch scantling to the rear axle so that It Just drags on the ground behind the wheel. When the wagon starts back it stops against the block. Fasten the block with a heavy eye and staple near the wheel so that when not In use it may be swung up out of the way and booked to the axle near the opioslte wheel. . Hops. Overpioduction is now seriously threatening the hop Industry. At pres ent, in respect of acreage under hops, the nations rank as follows : Germany. America, Austria, Great Britain, Rus sia, France and Belgium. Austria con sumes almost as much as she exports, and in the United Kingdom, where free imports make bop growing unprofita ble, production falls short of consump tion. Celery aad Celorlaa. There is a special turnip-rooted form of celery known as celerlac, which pro daces a large root and very small leof stems. This Is more suitable for cook ing than the common celery. 3j It ts not at all uncommon for a calf to be put to a cow that bas been some time calved, or. more commouly, that has given birth prematurely to a dead calf. Buyers at the cattle markets need to be on the lookout for numer ous tricks of the kind. Study et Wladareaka. An effort to determine the value ot windbreaks on farms Is being made by the Forest Service of the Uulted States Department of Agriculture. At pres ent windbreaks are planted bnphaxard and many do not believe In them, so it is time We had some definite Informa tion on tbe subject If there Is a par ticular kind of tree that makes a bet ter protection to crops without doing any harm we should know it. The Forest Service proposes to find out Just how much, if any, and when wind breaks increase crop yields. Instru ments will be used to measure heat and cold, moisture and dryness, both above and below ground ; to register the force of tbe wind nvur the windbreaks aud some distance away ; to measure light Intensity and take note of the effects of shade; to register frosts at different distances from the trees and to keep, account of the effect of windbreaks on the snow which covers the ground to leeward in winter. Many other meas urements and tests will be made and elaborate data will be collected by ex perts who will have charge of the In vestigation. Corn will be the first crop studied behind windbreaks. Corn is a particularly good crop to experiment with because it Is easily injured by hot dry winds, will not stand shading and Is very sensitive to frosts. If it Is found, as is generally sun- posed, that windbreaks are a decided advantage to crop yields. It will be an easy matter for the farmer to plant trees In his fence rows or along the sides of his fields toward the prevail ing winds and thus protect his crops as well as produce a valuable crop of tim ber. In view- of the fact that our tim ber supply Is rapidly waning, it stands every farmer lu hand to plant some trees and to maintain the wood lots upon htrfarm; so if windbreaks can be used to advantage, he can easily make the trees he plants serve a double pur pose. The results of the investigation will be awaited with interest Farm er's Guide. Farm Fowls. Fowls on the farm should in the very nature of things be the most profitable of all fowls. They cost little to feed and the- space they range over costs no more on account of the presence of the fowls. Most of them hnve free range and forage for their food; this Is profit able for the owner and enjoyable to tbe fowls. Most farm flocks are too small. The; might easily be Increased in size with little effort and small expenditure. It bas been said that a fowl will pay a dollar a year clear-profit under such conditions as prevail on the average farm If they are rightly housed and cared for. This is surely large enough a profit to be Interesting to any farmer Usually the farm fowls do not get cred It for all they really do, for the farmei seldom figures In the eggs and othT nultry products used by his own fani lly., which make quite au Item in thf course of a year. Not only the quantity should lie In creased, but also the quality. There ar vastly greater possibilities for profit In pure-bred fowls than in scrubs. They look better, weigh and lay better, and really are better lu every way. Agri cultural Kpltotulst Where Our Vearelaliles Originated. Iu I5S.T tbe potato was introduced into Europe by the .Spaniards, who found It lu Chile. At almost the same date It was Introduced luto England by the English, who bad found It cul tivated by the Indians of North Amer ica. The sweet potuto and the arti choke are also American vegetables. Salsify Is found growing wild over Greece, Italy and Algeria. Turnips and radishes cume originally from Central Europe. Cabbage, which Is of remote origin, Is believed to be a European vegetable. Asparagus found its origin In temperate Western Asia. Eggplant came to us from India. The carrot grows wild throughout Europe, Asia Minor, Siberia. China. Abyssinia, North Africa and tbe Canary Islands. The tomato comes from ' Peru, the cucum ber from India and the pumpkin from Guinea. Poultry Items. Look for lice If tbe poultry refuse to go into tbe roosting bouse at night Lice are the cause of death of more half-grown turkeys than from any oth er cause. Foul yards are great sources of dis ease. Fowl diseases are also caused by foul coops and foul drinking vessels. Make tbe entrance to the nests from the back to nuke them dark, and make tbem big enough so the hens can get In and out without breaking the eggs. Almost any breed of fowls may be kept within bounds If rightly treated, even though It is much easier to con fine large breeds than smaller ones. No one wants eggs that have been washed; they don't look right To get a good price for eggs tbey must be naturally clean as well as fresh. . If you Intend making a success In the poultry business you must put your whole heart into the work and become an enthusiast It requires persever ance and determination to bring suc cess. Overcrowding or confinement in un healthful quarters causes diseases among poultry. This, however, Is not excusable on the farm.
