Clitheroe—Because I can truly affirm that I enjoyed that series of articles and was sorry when they stopped. And I'll tell you what I enjoyed mostip them: the honest way you smote your subjects as well as caressed them; the conscientious way in which you balanced their accounts excited my admiration. i ;

Mira—l always try to view things fairly, and the truth of what I write is unimpeachable. o

Clitheroe—l'm sure of it.

Ciltheroe (interrupts peremptorily)--I thinl, Miss Moreton, Iwill countermand that order. :

Mira (surprised and disappointed)— Countermand it! . Clitheroe-——l don’t mean. the commission, but the subject. Choose another series.

Mira (still surprised) — You are alarmed at my notes. lave you taken fright at the way I stnote Miss Übiquita, It’s not venom. Everyitem’s true.

Clitheroe—Yes—so I've been told. T Mira—You have justadmired the way I balance accounts. Clitheroe—True, but I would rather not publish that. (Hands back the notebook.) So take any other subject you like, Miss Moreton, and send your MSS. to me as soon as possible. (Looks across the lawn) Isee lam wanted. Au revoir! y y

Mira (looks after him)—Now, what’s the meaning of that? I’ve slipped my foot into some hole. Is George

Clitheroe a champion of Übiquita Brown? DPreposterous! (A mutual friend comesupand shakes hands.) : A Mutual Friend—So the journalist has had a long chat with the editor. Result—business, I hope. By the by have you met the editor’s wife yet ? Mira—The editor’s wife! A Mutual Friend—>Miss Übiquita ‘Brown. That pioneer woman, you know.—Dlack and White. ' Unsafe Criticism. It is not safe to criticise Americans in the ‘higher circles” of British society, unless the ecritic has studied thoroughly the pedigree of those whom he addresses, so many American girls nowadays are becoming a part of the ‘‘effete” aristocracy of the old world. Not long ago, at a reception given in Rome at the British embassy, an Italian baron, who was presented to the duchess of Manchester, sighed deeply, as with relief, and said to her: “‘Ah! How glad I am to get away from those Americans there! We come " across them evervwhere, don’t we, duchess? You can’t imagine how happy I am to converse with you; there is such a contrast between the manners of English and Awmerican women!” The duchess let him go on as long as he liked Jin this way and then said, with a gracious smile: ‘‘Perhaps you are right, baron; but being myself an American I am no doubt in capable of judging.” The baron wished that the floor would swallow him up and reflected that he should have known, as everyone else did, that the duchess of Manchester was a New Yorker.—San Francisco Post. e No Irregular Prayers. ‘A pious Catholic once visited West- | minster Abbey..

THEF, ' ’ 'HE FARMING WORLD. USEFUL FARM BUILDING. . Combination Corn Crib and Stdrage House for Small Grain. s Among the buildings needful to the farmer, and yet of which there are comparatively few in existence, are those for storing grain. The chief reason why more of these are not built seems to be that frequently the amount of grain raised is not sufficient to justify ‘much of an outlay for this purpose, as the corn crop can be stored in cheaper cribs. A building which can be used both as a corn crib and for the storage of small grain should do away with this opjection. In our illustration we present a substantial structure, which if properly erected will answer a number of purpgses. The unusual size of the 1895 corn crop means that something must be done for its shelter, and the above plan is submitted to the careful consideration of corn growers. Itmay .be enlarged or elongated as needed. The building consists of two long cribs or bins with a wide driveway between them. The width is 26 feet, which is very convenient, as it allows a width of 8 feet for each bin and 10 feet for ecach driveway. The length,- of course, may vary, according to the means and needs of the builder, the one shown in the illustration being 32 feet long.. The foundation is of rock piers placed at frequent intervals between the main sills and the numerous cross sills. Ilave them of sufficient size | s 0 as to place the sills at some distance from the ground and thus prevent I'ot-‘? N =t e P (i Sa== E=— ‘ bl 1‘ N 33 == jill O & . W s 'l‘ . ’h" | 7 = . | GRANARY AXND CORN CRIB. ting and injury from rats, which always harbor under granaries that are too mnear the ground. The height of the corner posts should be from 10 to 12 feet, depending somewhat upon whether it is desired to use the space above the bins and driveway for storing implements, ete. : : Jn order that the building may be used for storing wheat and oats as well as corn, it is sided as tightly as may be *with ordinary 12-inch siding. However, the sides of the bins next to the driveway instead of being made tight are simply fixed for holding ear corn, Being sided with 4-inch strips nailed on the outside of the studding. The strips are placed several inches apart. Several narrow doorways Ilead from each bin to the driveway. It is best to make these doors near the strong posts which occur at intervals. along the driveway as shown in the illustration. Let these doors extend to the floor of the bin. Whenever it is desired to fill 'the bins with small grain the 4-inch stuff need not be taken off. Simply make that side of each bin tight by siding it with ship-lap, placing it on the inside of the studding and nailimng it lightly. Or one side of the driveway can be made tight in the first place and the other left for corn. Thete are tight floors in the bins and also in the driveway., The driveway is closed = with large double’ sliding doors. Good strong bridges iead up to the doors so that a loaded wagon can be drawn in without difficulty. The building is roofed with shingles. Dy making a few alteraticns in the foundation the floor can be left out of the driveway; but in all cases it has been found to well repay the extra cost, as it furnishes an excellent place for cleaning grain or for drying damp or wet grain. Besides being of value as a place for sheltering wagons, carriages, ete., it saves much grain which would otherwise be wasted in vnloading wagons. Such a building as shown in the cut can be erected for about $250 or $3OO and will be found the handiest building on the farm.—l arm and Home.

It is estimated that grain fed to suckling lambs designed for the butcher at an early day pays at the rate of $2 a bushel for corn anywhere in the eastern and middle states.

The Loss of a Queew.

Every beekeeper should understand how to deteet the loss of the queen. The following morning after a loss of this kind has oceurred, and occasionally in the cvening, the bees may be seen running to and fro in wild consternation. Towards the middle of the day the confusion will be less marked, but the next morning wiil be again enacted, and, after the third or fourth day, will cease entirely, and apparently they become reconciled to their labors, although they do not manifest the encrgy or agility seen in a prosperous colony.—Farmer’s Voice, : e el e o ..

. WASTING MANURE.| No Farmer, However Rich His La*ud. Can ; Afford to De It. e g - Experience has thoroughly demonstrated the fact that no farm, no Enatter how rich the soil, will grow good crops right along without liberal supplies of manure. On the majority of farms the greatesi part of the stock are given the run of the pastures during whht may be termed the growing season 5o that there is not a very large amount of manure made that needs habdﬂm. But as soon as it becomes necejsary to commence feeding the stock the opportunity for making and saving manure is itnproved. In order to make the most out of it some planning or work ahead is necessary. Iltisas importa_nt.i to plan to save the liquid voidings.as well a 3 the solids and plenty of bedding that can be used all through the winter is necessary to this. Then feedi lots or places where the stock can be fed to--gether and the droppings be gathered up, is essential, otherwise a considerable portion will be wasted. A good plan now is to save up everything that can be used to an advantage for bed-’ ding, and if rightly managed will help materially to increase the quantity of manure. One thing should beFemembered that while it is quite anjitem to make and save all of the manuie possible it is of no advantage to increase the quantity at the expense of quality. Another item is to arrange good ﬂeed lots with ragks or mangers where the rough feed can be used and at the saiuc time the manure all be saved. The only safe plan is to treat the manure the same-as a crop and plan to make the most. out. of it, making all that can be done and then saving and hnuling out and applying to the land whemtver tho other farm work will permiti—N. J. ‘Shepherd, in Farmer’s Voice, | = | CULTIVATION OF FLAX. ‘A Crop That Pays Well But Requires Constant Care. To be successful in the cultivation of flax a good soil is needed, and it must be well taken care of. Flax was not evidently intended as a premium on laziness. A deeploam,moresandly than clayey, seems to be the best, thpugh if you -have not that kind of soil, any .other will do, provided it is rich and not too wet. If lands are very wet by nature, and you want to put flax on them, do not fail to drain them, This work should be undertaken in time for the soil to dry out; this maj‘ mean one or two years prevlous to }}j)utting on the crop. o It exhausts the land, and rotation is desirable, returning the flax to the same land, say once every five years.' In manuring, do not use fresh manure unless certain that it does not dontain weed and grass sceds. | There is an impression among flax growers that the crop does particularly well after wheat, provided the|soil is rich. Potatoes are used when the land is poor, as the extra manure usually applied to potatoes leaves the land in better condition for the following crcp of flax. Corn is alsoa good cropto precede flax, provided the corn be kept clean, so no aveeds will mature their seeds to troul% the flax. Plow deep, as flax is deep/rooted. Above all ithings make war on grass and weeds, as they are particularly harmful to fields of flax. Sow seed thick, to givé finer plant, and, hence, less branches; thatis, if you want fiber. If seeds be the object, thin sowing will give fewer plants, but more seceds.—Farmers’ Review,

Ross, in Orange Judd Farmer. - I Winter Sheiter for Stock. ‘l The cheapest shelter for stocklin the winter, where it is desired to kepp the animals warm and allow air and exercise, is an open shed. Such a Luilding should be erected in the falf, and may be built of cheap materials. It sihould have a watertight roof, but should be open to the south. At night the animals will be sheltered in the barn, but they will take advantage of the open shed during the day. The protection thus afforded will cheapen the cest of food and add to the thrift of the animals. j 1[ . The Extermination of Weeds.| The seeds that are bought bring weeds on the farni in the fall, to spring up next spring. Clover seed, wheat and rye may contain seeds too sm%all to be noticed, unless by careful inspection Farmers who neglect to destroy weeds may entail labor upon an éntire neighborhood, as some weeds are easily carried to distances by winds. An association among farmers for m'utupl cooperation against the spread of weeds would save thousands of dollars in the labor required for their cxtetmine&mn.

HIS SAD LOT.

An Aged XKnightsville Miner's - Story. .

From the Democrat, Brazil, Ind.

Mr. AlexanderMcCallum, of Knightsville, Indiana, was a sufferer for many years with rheumatism. A reporter of the Democrat visited him at his home in Knightsville and was told by him the following story:

¢‘So you want to know how bad Iwas and what cured me. For a number of years past I have been a terrible sufferer from that excruciatingly painful affliction, chronic rheumatism. For years I have suffered more or less with this painful malady, sometimes 1 would be so afflicted that I could get no relief day or night, nothing gave me relief. I could not get around without a cane for years, and often if I dropped it I could not stoop to ?ick it up. I was a sufferer, movre or less, almost all the time, and sometimes I would ﬁet a little better and would try to worlk., remember one time-I was taken very bad with rheumatic pains while at work, and it took me more than two hours to;lwalk home, a distance of less than a mile.

“During all these years I had spent nearly ell my wages in paying doctor’s bills and buying medicine, but kept gradually growing worse, until I could not walk without the aid of my cane, and one of my legs had begun to become paralyzed and to shrink away. DMr. Mack Rogers, of Brazil, sent me an article of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People and told me toread it. I did so and was induced to try the remedy. I bought a box and began taking the pills, however, with ‘but little faith in them, as everything else had failed to give me relief. I had not taken the first box until to my astonishment and great joy the pains were less severe, and farther apart, by the time the contents of the first box was gone, I was greatly relieved, and I purchased the second box. My condition continued to improve and I kept buying pills until I am at last free of pain, eat well, sleep well, and can do a day’s worlk once more, have thrown away my c¢ane, and can get around s&)ryand quick have outgrown my clothes and have gaiued more than twenty pounds in flesh since I began taking the pills. They are the greatest pills on earth to-day. I have great faith in them, and can conscientiously recommend them to anybody. I am almost a new man ‘again, thanks to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.” The reporter further confirmed this story by asking McCallum if he would verify this statement before the proper officer, and he subscribed to the following affidavit: Subscribed and sworn to before me this 11th day of July, 1895. HowaArp EcKELS, Justice of the Peace. That there is virtue in these pills is evident from the fact that Geo. H. Came, the ‘Knightsville druggist, states to the reporter that he sells more of these pills than of any ills in his store, and that he sold them to &r. McCallum, and he knows that they will do the work they are claimed to do. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain, in a condensed form, all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are also a specific for troubles peculiar to females, such as suppressidns, irregularities and all forms of weakness. Tn men they effect a radical cure in all casesarising from mental worry, overwork or excesses of whatever nature. Pink Pills are sold in boxes (never in loose bulk) at Hoc. a box, or six boxes for $2.50, and may be had of all druggists, or direct by mail from Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y.

AN amusing printer's error occurred in a recent issue of the London Times. In an. nouncing the marriage of a young city man to the daughter of a mnaval instructor at Sheerness, a few words of a telegram which ' apparently belonged to some note from China or from Armenia were printed after the interesting intelligence. They read as follows: “Trouble 1s ex pected.”
