HINTS FOR FARMERS

Cl«an Cp the Farm.' The satisfaction which the farmer who combines beauty with utility, who never neglects the attractiveness of his home and who persists at all seasons in bis crusade against weeds and unsightliness gets out of life is enough in itself to compensate him for all hfs labors. Nothing pleases the eye* so much and nothing evidences real prosperity so much as clean Helds, clean meadows and pastures, fences clear of weeds, roadsides with only grass, as it should be in every uncultivated spot. Weeds should not be allowed to go to seed anywhere on a farm. They should be mowed down in late summer and cut from the fence corners, and they should be kept from growing in the back yard. The farmer should say what shall grow on his farm. Weeds Jiave no place anywhere. They have no rights, certainly not the right to reproduce themselves by being allowed to go to seed. This is plain, practical sense, not mere fancy farming.—Breeder’s Gazette. Two Broods of Pisa a Year. A good many of our swine raisers produce only one brood of pigs a year. They say that the spring litter Is easily taken care of and after weaning goes onto green, succulent pasture.' That is true, but it should not be forgotten that there is something to be said on the other side. The man who Is well equipped for swine raising has considerable money invested in hoghouses, pens and the like. If two broods are raised a year the “plant,” so called, Is kept in use the year around, and can thus be made to earn a good interest on the investment After all, the question of two broods is largely one of winter feed of a succulent nature, and most of our farmers are intelligent enough to solve that problem In one way or another. But the man who attempts to do this should expect to give his litters more. attention in the fall than In the spring. The “let alone” policy will not prove to be a paying one in that case. _ , Careful Dairy Work Paya. That which most pays the average farmer is being careful, says American Cultivator. There exists entirely too much carelessness among farmers in so many ways. It is the hand of care that makes the farm pay. Referring briefly to the dairy, how many farmers there are who keep cows at more loss than profit. The average farmer should keep less stock, give It more careful attention, and his profits would be greater. Some farmers are not getting a yield of over 125 to 150 pounds of butter per cow in one year. This does not pay. This can be attributed to carelessness, the farmer not giving his cattle proper care and attention; perhaps poor stock. The selection of cows may be at fault, but we know, and sadly, too, that many farmers have a good strain of cattle for dairy purposes, but the lack of attention they receive is a shame to make record of. It is not always the latest Improved methods of doing things that cause profits. Get Rid of the Weed*. It is not a difficult task if persisted in for a farmer to rid his farm of weeds, says Breeder's Gazette. It can be done, and when once accomplished the farm Is worth double its former value as a thing to rest the eye on. It is in reality a thing of beauty and loses none of its picturesqueness by having only grass growing in the meadows, wheat in the wheatflelds and corn only where it is cultivated. The farmer sows his grain or puts in his crop, the winds sow the weed seeds, and there you are, but if you allow no weeds to grow it is plain without argument that your weedy growth will become less and less each year. Certainly the labor of cultivation Is much lessened, but even If this were not true it is enough that it adds Immensely to the appearance of the farm. New Treatment For Milk Fever. Dairy farmers all over the country will be Interested In the simple and successful treatment for milk fever, which consists of Injecting filtered atmospheric air into the udder, says American Agriculturist. It is, therefore, of the greatest importance that every milk producer should acquaint himself with this and provide himself with suitable apparatus to do the work. This method is by far the most efficacious and most harmless one ever used and is said to have reduced the mortality in dairy herds to almost nothing. It is easy to manipulate and requires but little time to handle It Disinfect Farm Baildinars. Very few farmers appreciate the importance of disinfecting farm buildings, lots, etc. It costs very little to prepare or buy a solution already prepared and sprinkle it over the walls of the henhouse, the stalls of the barn and the lots where the animals are kept continually. It is much easier to prevent disease In this way than to try to get rid of it after It is well established.—American Agriculturist. Prolt la Swine, Stock boars two to three years old are the best. Godd brood sows should be kept for years, says American Agriculturist Select the best type and next the best mothers. Swine If properly handled should pay as well as any other stock. The prices and the demand have both been good for some time. If we raise the right kind for the markets the demand will Increase. Wideawake Farmers Smeeeed. Dp to date men who are wide awake, well educated and willing to take advantage of every natural and artificial aid will succeed and make money on the farm.—Farm and Ranch.

Unto the Last Farthing

By JOHN B. OXFORD

They Bat on the end of the pier watching the waves flash opalescent tints in the moonlight. The notes of the Marine band, struggling through the evening concert on the piazza of the San Marco, came faintly out to them. Far across the bay a myriad of twinkling lanterns shone among the branches of the orange grove, where the portly and misguided Mrs. Thorne was giving her annual open air vaudeville for the associated charities. “Don’t you feel the least qualms at the thought of leaving tomorrow?” the girl asked lightly. “The deepest,” the man responded gravely. “But, then, the end comes to nil things, you know, and it comes rather quickly to one’s funds at these winter resorts.” The girl laughed. “For a man that has thrown his money about broadcast, as you have, it seems to me you’re growing very saving all at once,” she said. “I shan’t throw much more money broadcast,” be said grimly. “Good for you, Tod!” she cried approvingly. “It's really time you took life seriously.” Torrington Davis looked thoughtfully at the girl beside him and suddenly straightened himself with the air of a man who faces the inevitable. “I shan’t waste any more money,” he said slowly, “for the simple reason I can’t, and I shall take life seriously because I’m forced to it.” “Tod,” she said quickly, catching some grim, hidden meaning in his words, “what is it? What has happened?” “Oh, nothing much,” he said quietly, “except that after tonight you will be relieved of my society. Tomorrow I face the world with a clean slate. I shall have a taste of earning my daily bread.” “You don’t mean”— she began In amazement “That’s Just what I do mean,” be said. “Those western failures have wiped me dean off the map. I haven’t a cent in the world, and consequently I can’t afford to stay any longer at an expensive place like this.” The girl clasped her little bands together and knit her brows. She seemed trying to grasp the full import of his words. “It's awful!” she exclaimed. “Isn’t itr he said dryly.

LADIES’ WEARING APPAREL.

“And you’re going home tomorrow?” she asked. “Home?” He laughed recklessly. “My dear child, why on earth should Igo home? There’s absolutely nothing there for me. Even worse, there are a hundred and one men who have been waiting for a chance to jump on me when I’m down. Home? Well, I should rather say not! Bentley has offered me a job on bis rubber reserve in South America. I’m going there tomorrow.” The girl looked at his face turned to hers in the moonlight. It was a strong, determined sac face of a man who asks no odds of any one. She felt a sudden tightening of her throat. “When did you know this?” she asked him. “The day after I came here,” he said. “Perhaps you recall it. We went to Spider Pond that afternoon, and you railed me for being so stupid.” “And yet you have stayed on here for two weeks,” she said accusingly. “I have stayed as long as the money I had with me—all the money I had in the world, for that matter—lasted,” he said.

"DO YOU THINK I AM THAT SOBT?" SHE ASKED HOTLY.

“Wasn't that rather imprudent?” she asked. "Is it imprudent for a man who is going to a perdition of a wilderness to drain his cup of happiness to the last dregs before he leaves?*’ said he. “Perhaps not,” she admitted. He threw bis cigar into the water and watched it float lazily away on the tide. “I wasted yon to know all these things before I went," said he, “and I wanted to tell you some other things. That Is why I brought yon out here where it Is. quiet. First* will jou

kindly slip off that ring and give it to me?” “Do you think I am that sort?” she asked hotly. “Do you think I promised to marry you to desert you at ft time like this?” “I know,” be argued, “that is very noble of you. But remember what this means—years and years of waiting probably. A man can lose in a day what it takes a lifetime to replace—what can sometimes never be replaced. I can’t subject you to such conditions. You are young, and the doors of the world are open to you. It may be hard now, but you’ll forget me presently. It is better that you should.” “Tod!” There was a world of reproach in her voice.. “Better give it back to me,” be advised. She covered her face with her hands and began to sob. He watched her with all a man’s helplessness at such a moment. “I thought you cared more than that,” she 6aid chokingly. “Cared!” he said wildly. “Cared! Have you any idea how much I care? Let me tell you, then, I have cared so much I have stayed here until I am well nigh penniless. Come what might, I was bound to be with you until the last cent was gone. I have stayed until there is nothing left—until it becomes necessary for me to go over to the town tomorrow to pawn my evening clothes and watch to get my passage money down there. I have cared like the desperate gambler who plays the game to his last farthing. That’s the way I care,” he ended hoarsely. The girl’s sobs ceased. She lifted her head. Afar in the orange grove the little dots of light blinked merrily. The Marine band was playing a lilting waltz. The waves flashed and sparkled and tumbled noisily on the hard, white beach. The man and girl faced each other in silence. He with tense, drawn face; she with a wonderful light in her eyes. She drew the ring from her finger and laid it id his big, brown band. “You are wise,” he said heartily. She looked at him searchingly. “I give it back on one condition,” she said. “And that?” "You must pawn itr’ “Pawn it?” he gasped. “Not this. I can’t” “You must” she said. “Will you tell me why I must?” ha said, watching it flash in the dim light "To—to pay my passage down there with you after we are wedded tomorrow, Tod,” she said, with burning cheeks. ,
