Keeping Cider.

If the elder Is made late, so that cold ■weather Is right at hand, It will keep sweet through the winter without any preservative if stored in a cool cellar, says American Cultivator. But if the cider is to be kept through a spell of comparatively warm weather it will be necessary to add three to five ounces of salicylic acid per barrel of cider. Before adding the acid let the barrel, which should be a full one, ferment two or three days, during which process it will throw off the impurities from the bung. IbSscbn of Food ob Flesh. The Live Stock Journal says, with much emphasis and with truth, that "the meat of all animals is affected by the food they eat The ducks taste fishy that live on fish; beechnuts bacon from pigs fed on beechnuts has the finest flavor, and hogs allowed to feed on stinking, filthy slops and on dead animals must produce meat that is unfit for human food. In this land of abundant food we should feed sound, dean, healthy food and fresh, clean slop or clean water.” Aetlea of Übb bs Soil. Lime in itself is not a fertiliser. It unlocks other elements combined in the soil, enabling the plants to absorb more of them; when that is done, the \ tl

soil is poorer by the amount of plant food unlocked by the lime, and the need of fertilizer is greater than ever. The lime puts no fertility into the soil, but it assists the fertility in the soli to get out of it A Makeshift lee Hoase. A New York dairy farmer secured a supply of ice which lasted nearly all summer by packing it in one end of a shed which was floored with poles, filling with Ice, partitioned with slabs battened with boards and the spaces around the Ice filled with sawdust Study- the Orchard. Study your orchard conditions to note if leaves stay on the trees sufficiently late in the fall. Early dropping of leaf implies an early flow of sap next spring with consequent danger of frost This must be avoided.—Farm and Ranch. Care as the He*.

WETMORE’S FIND

By Rita Ketty

Copyright. 1001. by Rita Kelley

“Oh, I won’t like him. I bate recommended people.” “But, Jo”—Miss Pendleton put her head out of the car window and nodded at the handsome girl in the smart turnout —“a governor’s son and red hair!” she coaxed. “Not the Prince of Pllsen and Rudolph Rasseudyl. I’ve heard nothing but Guy Wetmore for three weeks, and I’m sick of him—a pink of perfection, a prig who wears nose glasses. I’ll put him through his paces.” She gathered up the lines. “Now, Jo, don't get Into any of your western pranks. This isn’t Wyoming, you know, and we really want you to like each other.” The suburban train shrieked and gave a Jerk. “Come for me at 5,” Miss Pendleton called, and Jo bad only time to make a move as the train rolled by, and she turned the brown cob's bead down the road. The steady grasp of the lines kept him inquiringly swift as

“S-SH! BE STILL ! I THINK I’VE GOT A BITE !”

the conveyance with its sunburned, white shirt waisted occupant bowled along between the low stone walls. “We’re not going that way,’’ she said, bringing the horse up short at a crossroad. “You're just like the rest of these poky people, Christopher; you move along in the same old rut. Just because you came down that road to the station doesn’t argue that you are going back. I mean to go down this way and see what’s doing.” Wherewith she turned the equipage, and down the road in the hot sun they went in the opposite direction. Away they sped from the big country house, where a straggling house party was trying to keep itself amused till the lion of the hour should appear and proceed to fall in love with the hostess’ niece, Jo Pendleton. "Where's the bridge, Christopher? Why, haven’t you got a bridge here? Don't you have bridges in the east?" the girl's cool voice inquired of the inert horse pulled up beside a shallow, sparkling stream. “There’s the house over there,” pointing the whip across to a distant pile of red roof and large chimneys. “Well, you’ll have to go across,” calmly. “Mr. Guy Randolph Wetmore arrives on the 10:10 and inspects the rifle range till lunch, when Miss Joanna rendleton, in best bib and tucker, perforce, is presented for his royal approval. Didn’t you ever see a stream before, Christopher? Go on!” At the touch of the whip the horse plhnged snorting into the swiftly flowing water, floundered on for a pace or two and stopped, his legs braced, ears down. “Well, Christopher, if you aren’t a fool!” But the horse, snorting viciously, refused to budge. Forward, backward, sidewise, it was all the same. "Well!” The whip went into Its stock emphatically. “You needn’t think I am going to sit out here in this creek all day. You will go across, Christopher. See if you don’t” - Pins dropping on the leather cushions, a ripping open of hooks, a rustle of silk, and the natty brown golf skirt dropped about her feet There was a flash of little patent leathers, a length of drop stitch stocking, a flirt of an abbreviated and billowy white petti-coat-as she vaulted over the wheel and splashed down Into the water. “It la kind of cool, Christopher,” she rattled on, “though you’ve been in long enough to get used to it Come onP* Walking around to the bead, holding to the shaft her skirt scarcely dipping In the water, she gave a tug to the hitching strap.

“Christopher, don’t be silly!” the started on encouragingly. Snorting, puffing, placing one foot carefully before the other, be followed. Across the little stream, op the bank and on to the sandy road again she held the strap taut.

"It's pretty wet, Christopher,” as be gave a mighty shake and thrashed hie tall about, “only your old patent lea than won’t be rained." She looked ruefully down at her soaking feet She shook the raffles of her diminutive

ikirt “Wouldn’t Aunt Pendleton have k fit? Gracious!” She looked up Just in time to catch the end of an amused glance from the blue eyes of a young fellow in gray golf shirt who waa walking leisurely away With his bead turned in the direction of the. red tiles. He had wonderful red hair. She turned and scrambled precipitately Into the cart. Picking up the lines, she said In a subdued whisper: “Dear me, Christopher, this isn’t Wyoming, is It?” The wagon turnout with Its flushed occupant disappeared down the road toward the red roofs In a cloud of dust “But haven’t you seen her anywhere?” Miss Pendleton’s usually serene voice was agitated. “Not anywhere,” echoed the big voice 3f the athletic young fellow at her elbow. He passed his hand slowly across his mouth. “Some one thought they saw her about 11 driving into the stables. They weren’t sure.” “She is such a foolish child, and yet I can’t believe anything has happened to her. She is so used to taking care of herself. Ido wish she were a little less self sufficient.” Miss Pendleton’s voice was plaintive. She and Mr. Guy Randolph Wetmore were part of a searching party instituted for the recover}" of Miss Joanna Pendleton, lately disappeared from her aunt’s estate. It was sundown, and they strolled along the river bank, peering, one anxiously, the other politely, Into every clump of overhanging bushes.

“That she should have taken this day of all others to behave unseemly grieves me. I wanted her to make a good Impression.” Miss Pendleton patted the young man’s arm. “The two families have been so closely connected In friendship, I hoped”— “Take care, aunt. You’re coming through.” “Oh!” Miss Pendleton started back, with a little scream. “Where?” “Thin Ice,” commented the voice from below. “But—but where have you been, Jo? Are you all right?” quavered Miss Pendleton, peering through the shrubbery at the girl, sleeves rolled above her elbows, sitting In the bow of a boat pulled up to shore. “All here,” came the answer. “But I want you to come up, Jo, and meet Mr. Wetmore. We’ve been looking for you every place. You’ve given us such a scare.” “Can’t I’m too busy.” She finished baiting her hook and cast out. Miss Pendleton took the gray garbed, red headed individual by the arm and walked him around the bushes before the girl. Her Jiat.was lying in the bottom of the boat and her brown hair, plied high, gleamed gold In the sun. “Jo, this is Mr. Wetmore,” she said severely. The girl’s eyes were fixed on the water at the point where the line dipped in. “S-sb! Be still! I think I’ve got a bite!” she said. “Oh, how do you do, Mr. Wetmore?” She flashed a smile at him. “Take this line, will you?” He stepped down Into the boat and reached toward her. Deftly she seized the oars and pushed off from shore. There’s a string of fish down here that I couldn’t pull in by myself,” she announced as he sat down hard. And the boat shot out Into the stream, leaving Miss Pendleton amazed and horrified on the bank. It was clear and cool, and moonlight when the regular creak of an oarlock floated over the stillness. A big flat boat containing two people moved across the open and grated upon the apron at the boathouse. Lights streamed out the windows of the big Rouse at the top of the sloping lawn. He sprang lightly out and helped her. It took longer than was absolutely necessary. “I didn’t think then that yon would ever care to be Wet-more,” he drawled. “If you ever leak, Guy Wet— Well, me to Wyoming!" She looked up the graveled path. “We dropped the fish Just as we pulled them out, and I’m •Miss Pendleton’ for ten days. Remember that”

Guilty, but Hurt.

“I was governor of my state for two terms,” said a well known western politician, “and I made up my mind as soon as I was sworn in the first time to right any wrong I might find In the two state prisons. I had somehow got the Idea that many innocent men were sent there.”

“And did you find it so?” was asked. “I did. There were over a thousand convicts in all, and I investigated 350 cases before I stopped. According to his own story, every one was an innocent man and the victim of injustice. There was Just one exception. He had been sent to prison for stealing a cow, and he lied to me for a long time. At length, one day after I had gone over the case with him for the fifth time and showed him that he must be guilty, he said: “It’s no use to try to deceive you, governor. I’ll admit that I did the stealing, but what hurts my feelings is the mistake they made. It wasn’t a cow at all, but a blamed old jackass, and the jury convicted me because It was sworn to that be gave twelve quarts of milk a day.”—Chicago News.

Women Riders.

In 1852 the following challenge appeared in an English paper: "A member of one of the leading clubs in London and a master of foxhounds offers to back a young lady, from £2,000 to £6,000 (810,000 to 825,000) against any other lady In England, to ride from London to Birmingham, using two horses, to ride four miles over the NewI market course, to ride a four mile Steeplechase over Hertfordshire or to hunt the Hurtley foxhounds and to kill a fox with them." In the paper the following week the challenge wag accepted by Miss Mary Ashburton, g woman horse breaker.

You Must Sleep. If you cannot, it is due to an irritated or congested state of the brain, which will soon develope into nervous prostration. Nature demands sleep, and it is as important as food; it is a part of her building and sustaining process. This period of unconsciousness relaxes the mental and physical strain, and allows nature to restore exhausted vitality. Dr. Miles’ Nervine brings refreshing sleep, because it soothes the irritation and removes the congestion. It is also a nerve builder; it nourishes and strengthens every nerve in your body, and creates energy in all the organs. Nothing will give strength and vitality as surely and quickly as Dr. Miles’ Nervine. “During the past winter I had two attacks of LaQrippe which left me very weak, and In bad condition. I waa so nervous I could not sleep. My wife, after trying different remedies, went for a doctor. The doctor was out, and a neighbor recommended Dr. Miles’ Nervine, and she brought home a bottle. I had not slept for some time, and had terrible pains in my head. After taking a few doses of Nervine the pain was not so severe, and I slept. I am now taking the second bottle, and am very much Improved.” HENRY M. SMITH, Underhill, VL Dr. Miles’ Nervine Is sold by your druggist, who will guarantee that the first bottle will benefit. If It fails, he will refund your money. Miles Medical Co., Elkhart, Ind

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE

Care ot the Invalid.

Never make the patient wait for anything that Is wanted a moment longer than is necessary. Sick nerves cannot endure delay without chafing. As soon as the patient Is wide awake her face and bands should be bathed, and she should have breakfast After that tbe rest of the toilet can be completed at leisure, although it is probable she will want a little nap at the close of tbe meal. It is most Important of all to feed the patient and this should be done as soon as it can be unless she has had considerable milk or punch within the hour. While the patient Is sleeping maybe the floor can be wiped up with a cloth wrung almost dry in very hot water. As there is to be as little furniture In the room as can be got along with. It will not take long to dust this, and all can be done very quietly. To clean under the bed dampen an old bath towel and fasten it firmly about a broom. A few long strokes with this will gather up all the dust there.

Cleaning: Feather Pillows.

Take pillows and wet thoroughly (this is to prevent feathers from flying over everything), then open ends of pillows and put feathers Into tub of hot suds and wash and rinse thoroughly. After wringing them In cloth spread on papers or sheet to dry. They can also be dried by putting Into bag made of mosquito netting, hanging them In the snn and turning them frequently. After the feathers are perfectly dry put Into a bag and beat until feathers are fluffy. Put into clean ticks, and they will be as good as new.

A Dainty Pincaahton.

A dainty, more serviceable enshion cannot be found. It can be hung In your room or can be taken in your bag or trunk when traveling. First select two rubber flower stems, such as you may find on an old hat, or If these are not available take two pieces of fine wire and twist with narrow velvet ribbon to form stems. Next purchase two yards of lavender ribbon one and a half Inches wide and a yard of green ribbon to match the

THISTLE PINCUSHION.

stems the same -width. Cut the lavender ribbon into two pieces and fringe the length of the ribbon to about a quarter of an Inch from the other edge. Gather around the edge of a circle of green velvet the shade of stems, measuring about three and a half inches across. Then cut a small hole in the center of the velvet circle and ran your stem through. Now tie your fringed ribbon securely to the stem, and after staffing the green velvet with cotton gather the velvet closely around the fringe. This makes a perfect thistle. Any number may be added and when completed should be tied together with a bow of green ribbon.
