The Harvest Problem HOW TO KEEP YOUR LIVING EXPENSES DOWN.

Every harvest season finds the farmer with a lack of ready money, and this one is no exception. When the mower is started in your hay and the binder clicking in the oats your expenses commence to increase. You must feed the extra hands and feed them well, too. The first thought that enters your mind is, “How and where am I to secure good things for the table?” You don’t always want the cheapest, but you invariably want good goods at the lowest prices. We earnestly and clearly believe that we can and do give our customers the best groceries at the lowest prices. If you could only know of the large amount of Dried Fruits, Sugar, Meat, Flour, Rice, Potatoes, Crackers and Eatables we have on hand and paid for, you would quickly determine where to buy. We are making special prices now.

THE DAY AFTER. Along the street our way we pick, Where littered fragments now lie thick— Mine, cracker, candle, rocket stick— The sequel of the story Of how we. greatest of the earth. Observed the nation’s day of birth With roar and clash and bang and mirth, To ejmpha9ize our glory. On high were Freedom's banners bung: Below were cannon crackers fiung Beneath our feet—our nerves unstrung!— And each crash sounded louder. All day the eagie screamed, untamed. All night the soaring rockets flamed. And well we knew some one was maimed With every Hash of powder. The gaylv painted cannon (toy), Which was the pleasure, pride and joy Just yesterday of Willie boy, Now but in mem’ry lingers. But Willie's not among the slain : Next year, so doubt, he’ll try again; Just now he's howling with the pain Of seven shattered fingers. The dog that sought the cellar dark When first the powder met the spark. Nor dared emit a feeble bark, At length haß reappeared; But where the pretty cottage stood Is now a wreck of blackened wood— Ttie fire department did no good. And so the dog was seared. Oh, it is fine to have once more Cessation from that awful roar We must endure on July 4. The racket and the riot, And settle down to tranquil way 9 Of restful nights and peaceful days, And list to Routine's roundelays, When even Echo’s quiet.

TREAT THE EDITOR RIGHT.

Every man in every town during the course of a life time, has to ask a favefr of an editor. There are no exceptions to this rule. A man may escape a doctor. He may keep clear of the courts, but once in his life, at least, every man has to go to a newspaper to ask to have a certain piece put in, to have a certain piece kept out or to have his name printed in or omitted from some item. It is therefore to your interest to treat the editor fairly. He desires to be fair; he would rather do the right thiDg than the wrong thing; but if you give him a kick, the dent of it may be found in the top of your own hat some day, and yon will never know how it got there. Don’t think that providence has especially favored you, for your time will come and when it comes, it will be a fine investment if you have a friend in the editor’s office. —Martin County Tribune.

The Famous Story of “Mrs. Wiggs” and “Lovey Mary” to Be Seen On The Stage of the drand Opera House, Chicago. What promises to be one of the quaintest and oddest of all this season’s theatrical offerings—a play novelty that comes heralded as the laughing hit of the season — is soon to be seen by Chicago playgoers on the stage of the Grand Opera House, where dear, delightful Mrs. Wiggs (that now national favorite, whose unfailing cheerfulness and deep human sympathy have made her everybody’s friend, and who bids fair to become an immortal creation of American realism and humor) is to make her bow before the footlights on Sunday evening, July 10. Madge Carr Cook, the expert comedienne, who has so distinguished herself in a wide range of character roles, is said to give the half-humorous, half-touching and wholly lovable old lady an ideal incarnation. Chicago playgoers can soon listen to the quaint sayings, the ludicrous “malapropisms,” the famous epigrams of Mrs. Wiggs from her own lips—hear a lot of new ones, too, it is promised—and see her looking straight at them across the footlights. She will be seen in her own famous tin-roofed, two-doored cottage, making the most of her semi-grotesque poverty, with a serene optimism and a cheerfulness, looking after her three little, “jography” named girls (Asia. Australia and Europena), sheltering and “sticking up’’ for runaway Lovey Mary, with little Tom my, and running the affairs of the Cabbage Patch in her own motherly way.

AMUSEMENT CO. STRANDED.

Portland, Ind., July s.—The Dixie Amusement Company, which was to give a carnival here this week, is stranded in this city. The Minikteraii Association filed affidavits against each member of the company yesterday and notioe was served cm the manager that the arrest of every member of the company would be repeated each day during its stay. The company then decided to abandon the carnival, and, as it was preparing to leave the city, some of the ponies in the pony show were attached. Subscribe for . The Democrat.

If I could speak they would be shocked; Td call that fiddle-faddle. dnd yet, of course, they ought to know— Still I can’t help but wonder If some one rocked them years ago, When folks were apt to blunder. Ibey stand around me, looking wise, And say they must not pet me; A gentle pat to soothe my cries They claim would further fret me. My raising must conform to law Down to each Jot and tittle. Did people hold them off with awe When they were bald and little? They say that bouncing me is sure To make me very nervous; That children's frames cannot endure Such sadly thoughtless service. Tet these phlegmatic scientists. Ere they began to toddle. Were bounced until their chubby fists Played tattoos on the noddle. When I stretch out my willing arms, Inviting them to frolic. They rise in wondering alarms And talk of croup and colic. It’s hard to be a baby now; They will not pet nor Jump us. And when I sleep my peaceful brow Must He straight with the compass. When I grow up, of course “11 be A triumph scientific; But really it seems to me My hard luck is terrific. If I could only speak my mind— But then they would not thank me, One unbanned custom they would find— They still think they may spank nje! —Chicago Tribune.

The Easy Boss.

“Did you attend your grandmother’s funeral?” “Er—no. They postponed it. But I gotter rain cheek.” —New York Evening Journal.

He Rung Up the Tip.

Here is the prize hard luck story, as anybody will admit who remembers how infrequently the tipping habit is indulged in on street ears. It was a Broadway conductor who made the confession, having been led to do so by the casual remark of one of the passengers that "we are all creatures of habit” “Yes,” he said, “that’s so. I was on the down trip the other morning when a nice man got on board and handed me a ten cent piece for fare. I started to hand him back a nickel change when, with a wave of his hand, he said: ‘Oh, just keep that for luck. Buy yourself a cigar.’ Gee! What creatures of habit we are! Before I realized what I was doing I had rung up two fares instead of one.” And something very like a salt tear trickled down Jhe conductor’s nose.— New York Times.

Plumbers' Plans.

Mr. Housekeep—Are you the man from Mr. Sodder’s to fix the water pipes? The number—^Yes, sir. An’ he sez it’ll cost you SSO. Mr. Housekeep What! Why, he hasn't seen the job. He doesn’t know how much I want done. The Plumber—Mebbe not. But he told me how much to do. —Catholic Standard and Times.

Slightly Disappointed.

“That was a brilliant defense you made of that criminal. You deserve credit for his acquittal." “Well.” answered the young lawyer, “I worked hard. But it wasn’t as much of a victory as I might have wished for. Since the case was tried I have secured information that leads me to believe that he was actually innocent.” —Washington Star.

Disagreeable Appendages.

“Hasn’t he got his coat-of-arms yet? Why, he told me he was going to look up his ancestry the first chance he got”— “Well, I believe he got a chance to look up his family tree and he saw some things hanging to the branches that discouraged further research." — Philadelphia Press.

Her Worst Fear.

Willie—Oh, mamma, that cook pa sent has red hair, scars all over her face, a breath that smells like whisky. She looks awful mad and says she wants to see you. Mrs. Slimson—Oh, dear, I’m afraid she isn’t going to stay!—Brooklyn Life.

No Countin’ on ’Em.

Greene—Yes; my wife’s upstairs getting ready to go out Oh, here she comes! I’ll bet anything she’ll ask Aunt Jane if her hat’s on straighL Mrs. Greene—Aunt Jane, I wish you’d see if my skirt hangs even.— Boston Transcript

A Hint.

He—The most difficult thing in the case of a young man is to make up his mind to start right. She—Why don't you make up yours to start right now?—Baltimore News.

Another Fish Story.

First Fish—My ears are burning awfully! Second Fish—Somebody must be lying about you frightfully I —Yonkers Statesman.

HINTS TOR FARMERS

To Taa Sheepskins. Wash the hide In warm water, ra* move all fleshy matter from the inner surface and loose dirt from the hair side. Now wash in strong, rather warm soapsuds. The old time soft soap made from wood ashes is best. Eithei rub by hand or gently on a washboard. .As soon as thoroughly cleaned and rinsed press as much of the water out as possible. Add the following mixture to the flesh side: Common salt and ground alum, one-fourth ounce each, and one-half ounce of borax dissolved In one quart of hot water. When sufficiently to work with the band, add enough rye meal to make a thick pasted Spread the mixture on the flesh side, fold and let it remain in a shady, airy place for two weeks and remove the paste and wash. When nearly dry, scrape the flesh side thoroughly with a dull knife. Rub with the hands until the skin is soft and pliable. Lice on Chicks. A jßinall pinch of lard placed on the heads of chickens will knock lice stiff, and it will not hurt the chick. Lice are the bane of fanciers who raise pure bred fowls, and a great many ills can be traced to them. Bowel trouble, weaknesses of all kinds, going light, cholera, leg weakness in young cockerels, general debility and numerous others can all be credited to them. Lice revel in filth and there multiply and take the flock down in a hurry. The combs turn black, and their bodies get so light in weight that the owners think they are really “going light,” which is but another name for consumption. The only way to successfully combat lice is to fight them all the time.—Farm and Ranch. Caring Clover Hay. Last year I went into a five acre field of clover just about the time It was in full bloom and cut it down, says a West Virginia farmer in National Stockman. After noon the rake was started, and what had been cut before noon was raked up and put in shock. The evening's cutting was put up the next day. The hay did not look as if it was more than half cured, but as soon as I could I put it all in the mow. The hay heated considerably in the now, and I felt a little uncertain as to how it would look when opened up, but when I fed it out during the winter I found that only where It got air was there any dumage done. Nearly all of the hay was in good condition. Keep the Cows Clean. The cows should be kept just as clean as possible. There is hardly any necessity of keeping cows with filthy flanks, belly, udder and teats, says a correspondent of Hoard’s Dairyman. It costs barely nothing, except a few boards, a little time and energy, to fix the stalls or stanchions in any old cow stable so that the cows cannot get soiled. Of course some cows will soil themselves if they are obliged to almost break their necks to do it In such a case it might be better to give the butcher a chance to do the “breaking,” provided he is willing to pay a fair price for the privilege. More Ash and Protein. It has been demonstrated that in the fattening of young hogs a ration containing more protein and ash than does corn gives better results than does a sole corn ration. This is something new to most hog raisers. It has been quite generally recognized that in growing the frame of hogs much protein was needed, but niost people have as-, sumed that when once the fpame had reached a remarkable size a whole corn ration could be fed to advantage. Experiments made at the lowa station apparently show the opposite. Farm and Home. ’Worms In Lambs. . The greatest loss of lambs is due to tape, stomach and lung worms, and as these parasites are always most numerous In old pastures the proper plan is to frequently change pastures, says Wool Markets and Sheep. When attacked there are numerous remedies, but one of the simplest and best Is two teaspoonfuls of gasoline In four ounces of sweet milk used as a drench twice about ten days apart. Care must be taken to avoid strangling, and a good way is to use in a bottle with a lamb nipple. Little Profit la Cooking Feed. The utility in cooking feed for animals, and especially for pigs, was given most attention in the days previous to investigations by experiment stations, says American Cultivator. Cooking feed is no longer regarded as an economical practice for fattening animals. However, for breeding stock and sick animals and for animals which it is desired to put into the very highest condition cooking may be practiced with good results if expense is disregarded. Pigs so fed show marked thriftiness and health. Rape For Poultry. When properly cared for .-fowls will do as well as if not better in yards than when allowed the freedom of the premises, says a New York fanner In American Agriculturist. The care includes plenty of green food every day. Lawn clippings do very nicely, also clover, lettuce and weeds. -1 have tried them all and found that Essex rape is the best relished by the fowls and Is as easily raised as any other green food. Tbo Breeds os Pork Makers. Results obtained in Maine, Massachusetts and Ontario show the feed eaten per 100 pounds gain by various breeds to be as follows: Poland-Chlna, 407 pounds; Berkshire, 419 pounds; Tamworth, 420 pounds; Chester White, 500 pounds; Du roc Jersey, 522 pounds.
