A THREE DAYS VISIT IN CHICAGO.

Editor Jasper County Democrat, Friends and Acquaintances—Saturday, August 19, I and my , sister, Martha J. Dickinson, arrived in Chicago and were met at the depot by Mrs. John Hoskins of Chicago and escorted to Mrs. R. C. Mueller’s, 1341 LaSalle street. We visited the Masonic temple and went up to the 19th floor and saw the wonderful airships flying over the lake Michigan. It was a beautiful sight to see them flying gracefully through" the~ air, some going up, some coming down, and all the time traveling in a circle. I was informed that one went up 11,000 feet, breaking the world’s record. The sight was grand and magniflcient. We went down to Michigan avenue and watched the airships for an hour on the lake shore. They sailed through the air easily and gracefully like so many birds. Down very near the water, then soaring high, would circle and come down again, and no accidents occurred while we watched this beautiful sight. We went to church Saturday night to hear our friend and truthseeker, Bro. Barton of thte Brooklyn Tabernacle. He preached from Ecclesiastics 12; 1-7, and the way he unraveled the Scriptures, the types, antetypes, symbols, dark sayings, parables and the literal language, was spiritual food, for many blessings to be poured out upon the vast audience of 1,000 people. This meeting was held in University Hall, Dearborn Ave and Lake St‘

On Sunday we attended church again, also Sunday evening. ’ We listened to Bro. Barton’s discourse for two hours—the most wonderful sermons I have ever heard from the lips of any teacher of the true gospel, the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. On Monday morning at 8:30 we left Chicago, and arrived at Fair Oaks at 10:48, and home for dinner.

Farm and Garden

GOOD LAWN BEAUTIFIER. Its Foundation Is Only an Old Umbrella Frame, but It's Most Artistic. One does not need the services of an expensive landscape gardener to make one’s lawn a thing of beauty. Of course, thick, well rolled and well cropped turf is the prime necessity, but there is always needed some bit of color to accentuate the eye resting beauty of the long sweep of green. Here is the way one ingenious woman secured a centerpiece for her sward, according to Popular She Hug up an old umbrella from tho attic, cut away the faded silk cover-

SIMPLE ORNAMENT FOR LAWN.

Ing, ran a piece of thin wire through the top of each rib,'? taking . a turn around each eye. so as to keep the ribs apart at regular intervals, and then sunk the handle deep into the ground in a small circle cut out of. the sod in the middle of the lawn. Then she planted some sweet peas in a variety of colors. and now she has a Joseph’s coat mound of color that is an absolute delight. And, obeying the old adage, “the more sweet peas you pick the more you’ll have,” she has her vases all through the house filled all the time.

THE VALUABLE TURNIP. Worth Growing if'■■Only For Its Effect on Daiify Cows. While the real fJod value of turnips is considered sonp*what low. they are wonderful apuftizers. especially for dairy cows, not only toning up their systems, but-''increasing the flow of inllk. Then there are several tempting dishes fOr the table that can be formed from turnips, and by storing a goodly supply of them for winter their use will save considerable of the higher priced products, both around the feed stalls and table. Turnips for winter storage should not be sown till in July, from the 10th to the 20th, or even a few days later will not be too late. Where they are sown earlier than this the hot weather causes them to become strong and pithy, but if sown as above stated they mature when the weather is cool-' 1 pr, which greatly enhances their flavor, gives them a firm, solid flesh and adds to their keeping qualities. A rich, sandy loam or fresh, sod soil is best adapted to turnip raising and they may be sown either broadcast or drilled. If'sown broadcast it may be done just before a shower, and there will then be no necessity for covering the seed, as the raindrops will do the work better, a light cover-,

ing being all that is required. If the seeds are drilled one can arrange so the plants may be cultivated by hand, the rows being placed about eighteen Inches apart. Put in plenty of seed at the time of drilling and thin out tho plants when they come up till they are from three to four inches apart, thus giving them am;>k‘ room to grow, —Homestead. Rapa Seed For Hogs. If a little rape seed is sprinkled in with the rye a variety Of feed will be provided and the bogs will do even better than upon rye alone.

Brief Suggestions.

Go over the orchard and see that all the wounds are well painted. The golden wax bean is a favorite with many garden makers. It is tender, of good quality and stringless. If a small pig is chilled it can be revived by dipping it in water as hot as you can bear your hand in, then wrapping it in warm flannel. Don’t keep your horse in an overheated stable and then stand him for hours in a freezing atmosphere and wonder how he became paralyzed. Tie durability ot the mule is a strong point in his favor. He lives and works to a good old age. His “sense” of self protection is strong, and he avoids many injuries. Never get the idea in your head that drugs and health are inseparable, sot in most cases it will be found that what we keep out of the pig’s stomach has more to do with its health than what we put in. Blackberries are very prolific and ripen at the time they can be economically gathered and marketed. They are seldom injured by late frosts and for this reason are surer than some other berries that ripen earlier. The wheel hoes are great labor savers. A plow attachment is very convenient for opening furrows and to cover the larger seeds, as ;>eas, be? us and sweet corn. Some of the com-, bination wheel tools with drills, cu.tly rating teeth, plows and rakes are very satisfactory.

Necessary Accompaniment.

No man can rise or forward press By constant, aimless drifting. There must, if he would win success. Be lots of heavy lifting. The Frivolous One. “Young man?” "Yes, sir.” “You should learn to be useful.” “You wouldn’t have me despise myself, would you?” * "What do you mean by that?” “I hate useful things.” Her Version. “Well, boys will be boys.” “Not always," snapped Lizzie. “No?” questioned mother. “Not on your life. Sometimes they are sissies.” Queen Bee. “You are as busy as a bee, Lucy.” “I am that.” “What are you working for?” “A honeymoon.”

PERT PARAGRAPHS. Dying is merely the process of getting used to things. It is all right to make a living provided it’s your own living. You can’t always tell the real thing, for sometimes it won’t listen. 4 It Is a heap easier to criticise than It is to get paid fpr it Don’t lose any time sassing back. Just get busy. The trouble with some people is they never even try to try. One reason why so many persons visit the divonpe courts is because there are so many unattached Romoes and Juliets. We’d be willing to leave well enough alone if we could find it. When trouble comes by the peck we don’t complain that the pecks are short The chill of fear is lost in the beat of battle.
