LITTLE VISITS WITH "UNCLE BY"

Pipes. I like the uncomplaining man Who works a steady clip. The man who does his duty well And lets the old world rip. He seldom finds that life is hard. He does not fret and stew And never once was known to ask, “I* this hot enough for you?” Many a husband la hungry for the love his wife wastes on the dorg! Many a dollar has gone into the jack-pot that should have gone into the soup pot at home! Many a man who has been made what he is by his wife wishes the raw material had been better. • The hammock days are fleeting fast A few more spoons and they will pass— And then—well, father pays once more. While lovers, true, burn up the gas! Before marriage he called her the star of his existence, but after marriage he did not give her a star’s salary. A well known humorist says: "A man in Indiana who was jilted discarded clothes and began picking flowers in the nude state.” I never knew 'em to wear clothes! Word comes from Michigan that great excitement prevails at one of the well-known summer resorts. A girl from Indiana who has never written a novel and doesn’t know George Ade has taken board for the summer. “The greatest compliment a woman can pay a man is to cook for him,” says an exchange, and the greatest compliment a man can pay a woman is to eat what she cooks—but it’s dangerous! When a man goes home in the evening and finds his wife good-natured, the dinner always tastes good enough for a king. If he finds her worried and cross, it beats all how heavy the biscuits are! The wife of the editor of a Kansas paper presented him With a daughter last week and the editor duly celebrated the event by printing most of his paper upside down. Some men would get intoxicated under similar circumstances. A married man who came home at two o’clock in the morning and insisted on telling his wife a new joke, is now sympathizing with the parrot and has Mken as his motto, “I know what’s the matter with you, Polly! You talk too darned much!” An editor, a country editor, of course, came home the other night and told his wife he had seen a butterfly with a garter snake in its mouth! This was the first inkling the wife had ever received that he was “hitting” the gasoline can. The editor has since signed the pledge. A HOT NIGHT IN THE CITY. It is me to my porch where the cool breeie is whirring. By the side of the lake where the glad waves are purring. It is me to my porch where the minstrels are straying. Where the heart is as light as the airs they are playing. In the hot summer time there Is small sense in roaming— Stay at home and keep cool and just rest hi the gloaming. Oh, the country is nice and the wild wind* are flirty But a man doesn’t mind when he gets above thirty. He’d as soon stay at home and smoke fragrant Havanas As to strut at the seashore with Floras and Hannahs. So it’s me to the spot that is fanned by lake breezes. To the porch on the shore where the retrospect pleases. Here is life, here is peace, here are friends entertaining. And it’s here we will rest while the evening is waning. In the hot summer time there is small sense In roaming— Stay at home and keep cool and just rest In the gloaming. A story hails from Nebraska that might be used as an example to show the selfishness of woman. A man and his wife bought a section of land many years ago at the low prevailing prices of the period and for many years tilled and harvested. At last, plenty having come their way, the husband decided to sell the place and retire. He received a magnificent offer that represented thousands of dollars, and having had the release papers made out, took them home for the wife to sign. Imagine his surprise when she refused to sign them. Argument failed to move her and at last the husband appealed to his attorney to reason with the woman. The attorney drove out to the farm and discovered that the woman had ‘never had any money of her own and felt that she should be given a cash sum if the transaction was completed. She had worked hard and faithfully, she said, for many, many years and she thought it no more than right that she be allowed something in the way of ready money now that the home was to be sold. The attorney agreed with her and asked her what she thought she ought to have in the way of cash. Imagine his surprise when the woman after thinking a moment, said, with determination in her voice, “Well, I think I ought to have at least |18.”

INTENSE CULTURE.

It Will Give Bi* Crop* of Potatoes* Cabbage* and Hay. From experience and extended observation 1 am satisfied that not only can good cultivated crops be grown for a term of yeprs witbout the use of stable manures, but that large hay crops can be raised after such treatment and the fertility of a farm be increased materially. One of the best methods and a profitable rotation in fertilizer farming in my experience has been to plow under sod in the spring, then by frequent planking and harrowing up to the first week in June prepare a faultless seed bed. One ton to the acre of high grade cabbage fertilizer should be broadcasted and harrowed in, then as near June 10 as possible plant winter cabbage seed in hills by 3 feet, using 500 pounds per acre of ammoniated fertilizer, with a low percentage of potash, in the hills. As soon as the size of the young cabbages will allow they should be thinned to one plant in a hill. Cabbage Delight* In Cultivation. The cabbage is a vegetable that must have plenty of cultivation. Every day tillage would do it no harm, and if good culture is given a yield of eighteen to twenty tons of cut cabbages from the acre can be raised under the above treatment and with good climatic conditions. By the cellar method of storage the heads are cut close, leaving the roots in the ground, so that none of the unused fertilizer is removed and much value in the stumps and bottom leaves returned to the solL The second year in the rotation the land is planted early to potatoes, using one ton fertilizer to the acre, half or more broadcasted. This treatment should produce 200 to 400 bushels potatoes, varying in climatic and soil conditions. The crop should be dug as early as practicable, and if dug by machine the soil gets practically another plowing, after which the land is harrowed and immediately sown to gtass without fertilizer. Following this treatment, in which two and a quarter tons high grade fertilizer have been applied to the acre and two good hoed crops removed, we can expect three years of satisfactory mowing, when the land can again be taken up or by annual top dressing with a complete top dressing fertilizer kept in grass for a much longer period. The better plan, however, is to plow up often, as a better sod is turned under and a deeper soil that holds moisture better created. If the hay is sold as a cash crop the five crops named should at a low estimation sell for $450, with a cost for fertilizer of about SB3 and the farm improve in fertility under such treatment.—E. W. Sargent, Massachusetts, in New England Homestead. A FLOCK OF SHEEP. A Michigan Man’s Plan For Developing a Flock of Merino*. The flock I started with were of Merino blood and would weigh eighty-five to ninety-five pounds and sheared five to six pounds of wool per head. I had been using Shropshire rams, selling the lambs to feeders, until my flock was getting old, and I had to make a change. My idea of a ewe was one that would weigh from 120 to 130 pounds, shear ten pounds or more of wool, with a long, smooth back and one or two folds on the neck. The kind of ram I wanted was like the ewe, only larger, with eight to twenty pounds of long, white wool. I found a ram of the National Delaine breed that weighed 175 pounds and sheared seventeen pounds of wool. That was ten years ago, and I have been breeding with the same idea ever since. How well I have succeeded is shown by my present flock, which consists of sixty-five ewes that will average 120 pounds and shear about ten pounds of wool. The ewes are fed corn stover in the morning, one-half pound per head of corn and oats at noon and clover hay at night, with water before them all the time and good salt twice a week. On pleasant days the corn stover is fed in the yard, which gives them plenty of exercise. They are housed at night and during all stormy weather. 1 do not want them to get wet from the Ist of November until turned on pasture. The barns are quite warm and ventilated with a number of windows. In this locality the first half of April Is early enough for lambs to come and I find it beet to have the ewes sheared before lambing. With this management I have Increased my flock 100 to 125 per cent a year. Each year I save fifteen or twenty of my very best ewe lambs which come near my ideal. I give them the very best care, all the clover hay they will eat and about three-fourths of a pound of grain per day, a mixture of corn and oats, half and half. I want to get as much growth as possible while they are young. They are bred at nineteen to twenty months of age, and I set as many ewes go each, year as I keep lambs. The lambs from these ewes make excellent feeders.—F. E. Lowe, Michigan, In American Agriculturist.

Wheat Yields.

It la a freak year lu winter wheat. Yields have exceeded all estimates. There are also faked reports being sent out of sensational yields, being circulated to depress prices. Spring Wheat in the northwest Is making good progress toward maturity, but there are a few reports of the crop being injured jby blight In South Dakota, around Watertown and through the Jim river valiley. A few reports of black rust are heard of, but weather conditions have not been suitable for the spreading of black rust. Red rust has caused some deterioration by affecting the leaves, and samples of the crop received show loss of vitality. Cutting has commenced In South Dakota.— Country Gsntlsnutu. - r V:

FOR THE CHILDREN

“Pack My Trank.” A game adapted from the French that is very popular among the little people of America Is a good test for the memory. It Is played as follows: Thg children must sit In a circle, and one as deader announces In this fashion: “I pack my trunk, and into it I put” —mentioning some articles used in traveling, as gloves, brush or cologne. The next child begins then, saying what the leader has said and adding another article, and so on around the circle, each child repeating all the articles mentioned by the leader In their correct order and then adding one more to the list, which after awhile assumes lengthy proportions. If any boy or girl forgets one article or puts it in the wrong order he or she must drop out of the game, and the last child remaining has the privilege of starting a new game. The Do*’* Howl. Why does a dog howl when he hears music? Nobody can answer that question definitely, but perhaps it might be reasoned out by analogy. A dog’s sense of hearing is acute, and while some sounds are grateful to It, others are the reverse. It is likely that music is among the last named; it produces a disagreeable effect on the dog’s nerves, relief from’which is sought in howling, just as a child cries when it suffers physical pain. It may be that music, which is so delightful to us, affects some dogs as the scraping of the edge of a knife across a plate affects us, or the dull, harsh, nerve rasping sound made by a knife in cutting rotten wood. The howling is, beyond doubt, an evidence of the dog’s uneasy, nervous condition, produced by the music. An Ice Experiment. Weight a small piece of ice about the size of the tip of your finger with a bit of lead by tying the two together. The ice may be as large as you will, so that it can be slipped into the bottom of a test tube of water. Incline the tube and hold it in a flame above where the ice is. The water may in this way be boiled without melting the ice, as water is a poor conductor of heat. If, however, the ice is not weighted, and so remains above the point where the heat is'applied, It will melt, as warm water Is lighter than cold and will rise, thus melting the ice. With care In weighting the ice you may make your experiment successful, aud you can have boiling water with a piece of ice in the bottom of it. The Motionle** Eye. A well known scientist discovered some time ago that the eye cannot see without being motionless. It is like the camera, which cannot take a picture if it be moving. The eye, then, is a perpetual camera, with self renewing plates; It must be motionless when it takes a picture. lu reading, therefore, the eye does not move along the lines regularly; it takes an impression, moves to another position, takes another view, aud so on. This discovery should lead to experiments that might determine the right length of lines of priut for easy reading. Very long a..d very short lines, as everybody knows, tire the eyes, and there must be a length that would uot have that effect. The Bretou Sheep. The smallest sheep in the world is the tiny Bretou sheep. It is too small to be profitable to raise, for it cannot have much wool, and as for eating, why, a hungry man could eat almost a whole sheep at a single meal, says the Washington Star. ~ Any little girl could find room In her lap for a Breton sheep. One of its peculiarities is its extreme sympathy with the feelings of its human friends when it has been brought up in the house as a pet. If its master or mistress is pleased about anything the little sheep will frisk about with fevery sign of joy. On the contrary, if tears are being shed the sympathetic sheep will utter the most pitiful ”ba-a” ever heard. Tan Colored Shoe*. Some people wear tan colored shoes because It is the fashion, others because they like them, fashion or no fashion, and still others because they are cooler than black shoes. It was for this last reason that they were produced several years ago by some longheaded manufacturer. They are cooler because light colors do not absorb the rays of the sun so much as dark. However, shoes that are kept brightly polished, whether they are light or dark in color, reflect the rays and are therefore cooler than dusty, unpolished ones. Besides, polished shoes arc neat and nice; unpolished shoes are ugly and Indicative of careless personal habits. The Buay Ant*. If you go for a walk in the woods you are almost sure to find some ants’ nests. They look like heaps of fine needles and little bits of leaves and twigs. On a sunny day you will often see long columns of ants marching home with little pieces of twig to add to the walls of their house. Sometimes they carry leaves a good deal bigger than themselves. Time For Voter* to Think. This is a good year to bump the Republican bosses and elect a congress free from machine domination.

The Trouble With Lorimer.

Congressman Billy Lorimer is having a hard time of It in his district in spite of his devotion to the packing Interests. His opponents are urging that he was against the president, but surely the packers should be able to control Packingtown. The trouble with Lorimer Is that he Is part of a very rotten Republican machine, and this is a bad year for corrupt political bosses.

How does it happen that more than a million Studebaker vehicles are in use the world over? How does it happen that the Studebaker business has shown a steady growth and increase every year for more than fifty years? How does it happen that the Studebaker reputation for all that goes to make a good vehicle is higher today than ever before? Do you think it just happened or was there a reason for it?
