“Wimmin aboard ship I don’t ’old with,” said the night watchman, severely. “They’ll arsk you all sorts o’ silly questions, an’ complain to the skipper if you don’t treat ’em civil in answering 'em. If you do treat 'em civil, what’s the result? Is it a bit o’ bacco, or a shilling, or anything like that? Not a bit of it; just a ‘thank you,” an’ said in a way as though they’ve been giving you a perfect treat by talking to you. “They’re a contrary sects too. Ask a girl civil-like to stand off a line you want to coil up, and she’ll get off an’ look at you as though you ought to have waited until she ’ad offered to shift. Pull on it without asking her to step off fust, an’ the ship won’'t ’old her ’ardly. A man I knew once—he’s dead now, poor chap, and three widders mourning for ’'im—said that with all ’is experience wimmin was as much a riddle to 'im as when he fust married. “oO’ course, sometimes you get a gal down the fo’c’s’le pretending to be a man, shipping as ordinary seaman or boy, and nobody not a - penny the wiser. It's happened before, an’ I've no doubt it will again. “We ’'ad a queer case once on a . barque I was on as steward, called the Tower of London, bound from the Albert docks to Melbourne with a general cargo. We shipped a new boy just after we started as was entered in the ship’s books as 'Enery. Mallow, an’ the first thing we noticed about ’Enery was as ’e had a-great dislike to work and was terrible sea sick. Every time there was a job as wanted to be done, that lad 'ud go and be took bad quite independent of the weather. “Then Bill Dowsett adopted ’im, and said he’d make a sailor of 'im. I believe if "Enery could ’ave chose ’is father, he’d sooner ’ad any man than Bill, and I would sooner have been a orphan than a son to any of ’em. Bill relied on his langwidge mostly, but when that failed he'd just fetch 'im a cuff. Nothing more than was good for a boy wot ’ad got ’is living to earn, but 'Enery used to cry until we was all ashamed of ’'im. :

. “*Go to your duties,” roars the skipper; ‘go to your duties at once, and don’t let me ’ear any more of it. Why, you ought to be at a young ladies’ school.’ = “‘T know I ought, sir,” ’Enery ses, with a w'imper, ‘but I never thought it’d be like this.’ “The old man stares at him, and then he rubs his eyes and stares agin. "Enery wiped his eyes and stood looking down at the deck. ““EBvens above,’ ses the old man, in a dazed voice, ‘don’t tell me you're a gal!” - “‘I won’t if you don’t want me to, ses 'Enery, wiping his eyes agin. ““What's your name? ses the old man, at last. ; “‘Mary Mallow,.sir,’ ses’Enery, very soft. . “‘What made you do it? ses the skipper, at last. : “‘My father wanted me to marry a man I didn’t want to,’ ses Miss Mallow. ‘He used to admire my hair very much, so I cut it off. Then I got frightened at what I'd done, and as I looked like a boy I thought I'd go to sea.’ :

“Then’ the skipper took Miss Mallow below to her new quarters, and to ’is great surprise caught the third officer, who was fond of female society, doing a step-dance in the saloon all on *is own. “That evening the skipper and the mate formed themselves into a com-

it when she was in the fo'c’s’le. Perhaps she hadn’t got much to laugh about then; and while she was up there enjoying ’erself ~watching us chaps work, the committee was down below laying its ’eads together agin. “When I went down to the cabin agin it was like a dressmaker’s shop. There was silk handkerchiefs and all sorts o’ things on the table, an’-the skipper was hovering about with a big pair of scissors-in his hands, wondering how to begin. - “‘I sha'n’t attempt anything very grand,” he S%és, at last; ‘just something to slip over them boy’s clothes she’s wearing.’ : “The mate didn’t say anything. He was busy drawing frocks on a little piece of paper, and looking at ’em with his head on one side to see whether they looked better that way. “‘By Jove! I've got it ses the old man, suddenly. ‘Where’s that dressing gown your wife gave you? “The mate looked up. ‘I don't know,’ he ses, slowly. ‘l've mislaid it’ ““Well, it can’t be far,’ ses the skipper. ‘lt’s just the thing to make a frock of.” “‘I don't think so,’ ses the mate. ‘lt wouldn’t hang properly. ' Do you know what I was thinking of? ““Well,” ses the skipper. ] “‘Three o’ them new flannel shirts 0’ yours,” ses the mate. ‘They’re very dark, an’ they’d hang beautiful.’ “‘Let’s try the dressing gown first,’

I'll help you look for it. “‘T can’t think what I've done with it ses the mate. : ' “‘Well, let’s try your cabin,’ ses the old man. - “They went to the mate’s cabin and, to his great surprise, there it was hanging just behind the door. ‘“‘l sha'n’t want that, Mr. Jackson,’ he ses, slowly. ‘I dare say you’ll find it come in useful’ ; ““While you're doing that, s’pose 1 get on with them three shirts,’ ses Mr. Jackson. . “‘What three shirts? ses the skipper, who was busy cutting buttons off. ““Why, yours,” ses Mr. Jackson. Let’s see who can make the best frock’ . “*‘No, Mr. Jackson,’ ses the old man. ‘Tm sure you couldn’t make anything o’ them shirts. You're not at all gifted that way. Besides, I want ’em. ““Well, I wanted my dressing gown, if you come to that,” ses the mate, in a sulky voice. ' ““Well, what on earth did you give it to me for? ses the skipper. | I do wish you’d know your own mind, Mr. Jackson.’ £

“It really didn’t look half bad when he’d finished it, and it was easy to see how pleased Miss Mallow was.” , “I must say she ’ad a good time of it. We was having splendid weather, and there wasn’t much work for anybody; consequently, when she wasn’t rseceiving good advice from the skiptper and the mate, she was receiving attention from both the second and third officers. Mr. Scott, the second, didn’t -seem to take much notice of her for a day or two, and the first I saw of his being in love was ’'is being very rude to Mr. Fisher and giving up bad langwidge so sudden it’s a wonder it didn’t do ’'im a injury. “I think the gal rather enjoyed their attentions at first, but arter a time she got fairly tired of it. She never ’ad no rest, pore thing. If she was up on deck looking over the side the third officer would come up and talk romantie to ’er about the sea and the lonely lives of sailor men, and I acturally ’eard Mr. Scott repeating poetry to her. The skipper ’eard it too, and being suspicious o’ poetry, and not having heard clearly, called him up to ’im and made ’im say- it all over again to ’'im. 'E didn’t seem quite to know wot to make of it, so ’e calls up the mate for ’im to hear it. The mate said it was rubbish, and the skipper told Mr. Scott that if he was taken‘ that way agin ‘e’d "ear more of it. | “There was no doubt about them two young fellers being genuine. She ‘appened to say gne day that she could never, never care for a man who drank and smoked, and I'm blest if both ogi ’em didn’t take to water and give 'er their pipes to chuck overboard, and the agony those two chaps used to suffer when they saw other people smoking was pitiful-to witness. e “It got to such a pitch at last that the mate, who, as I said afore, was a very particular man, called another committee meeting. It was a very solemn affair, and 'e made a long speech in which he said he was the father of a family, and that the second and third officers was far too attentive to Miss Mallow, and 'e asked the skipper to stop it. ; “‘How? ses the skipper. ¥

“‘Stop the draught-playing and the card-playing and the poetry,’ ses the mate; ‘the gal's getting too much attention; she’ll havé ’er 'ead turned. Put your foot down, sir, and stop it “The skipper was 80 struck by what he said, that he not only did that, but he went and forbid them two young

men to speak to the gal except at meal times, or when the conversation wae general. None of ’em liked it. though the gal pretended to, and for the matter of a week things was very quiet in the cabin, not to say sulky. : “Things got back to their old style again in a very curious way. I'd just set the tea in the cabin one afternoon, and ’ad s%ed at the foot of the companion-ladder jo let the skipper and Mr. Fisher come down, when we suddenly ’eard a loud box on the ear. We all rushed into the cabin at once, and there was the mate looking fairly thunderstruck, with his hand to his face, and Miss Mallow glaring at ’im. “ ‘Mr. Jackson,” ses the skipper, in a awful voice, ‘what’s this? “ ‘Ask her,” shouts the mate. ‘I think she’s gone mad or something.’ '“‘What does this mean, Miss Mallow? ses the skipper. “‘Ask him,” ses Miss Mallow, breathing very ’ard. : “ ‘Mr. Jackson,’ ses the skipper, very severe, ‘what have you been doing? “ ‘Nothing,’ roars the mate. : ““ ‘Was that a box on the ear I’eard? ses the skipper. “‘lt"was,” ses the mate, grinding his teeth. ““Your ear? ses the skipper. “‘Yes. She’s mad, I tell you,’ ses the mate. ‘I was sitting here quite quiet and peaceable, when she came alongside me and slapped my face.” ““Why did you box his ear?’ ses the skipper to the girl again. “‘Because he deserved it,’ ses Miss Mallow.

“The skipper shook his ’ead and looked at the mate so sorrowful that he began to stamp up and down the cabin and bang the table with his fist. . “qlf 1 hadn’t heard it myself, I couldn’t have believed it ses the skippér; ‘and you the father of a family, too. Nice example for the young men, I must say. : . “‘Please don’'t say anything more about it,’ ses Misg Mallow; ‘T'm sure he’s very sorry.’ : “‘Very good,” ses the skipper; ‘but you understand, Mr. Jackson, that if I overlook your conduct, you're not to speak to this young lady agin. Also, you must consider yourself as removed from the committee.’ } “‘Curse the committee,’ screamed the mate. Curse—’ “He looked all round, with his eyes starting out of ’is ’ead, and then suddenly shut his mouth with a snap and went up on deck. ; “We got to Melbourne at last, and the fust thing the skipper did was to give our young lady some money to-go ashore and buy clothes with. " He did it in a very Idelikit way by giving her the pay as boy, and I don’t think I ever see anybody look so pleased and surprised as she did. The skipper went ashore with her, as she looked rather a odd’ figure to be going about, and comes back about’'a hour later without ’er. “‘I thought perhaps she’d come aboard,” he ses to Mr. Fisher. ‘I managed to miss her somehow while I was waiting outside a shop. ' ““They fidgeted about a bit, and then went ashore to look for ’er, turning up again at eight o’clock quite worried. Nine o’clock came, and there was no signs of ’er. Mr. Fisher and Mr. Scott was in a dreadful state, and the skipper sent almost every man aboard ashore to search for ’er. They 'unted for ’er high and low, up and down and round about, and turned up at midnight so done up that they could ’ardly stand without holding on to somethink, and so upset that they couldn’t speak.' None of the officers got any sleep that night except Mr. Jackson, and the fust thing in the morning they was ashore agin looking for her.

“She’d disappeared as completely as if she’d gone overboard, and more ‘than one of the chaps looked over the side half expecting to see ’er come floating by. By 12 o’clock most of us was convinced that she’d been made away with,-and Mr. Fisher made some remarks aﬁout the police of Melbourne as would ha’ done them good to hear. “I was just going to see about dinner when we got the first news of her. Three of the mo%g miserable and solemn looking captains I've ever seen came alongside and asked for a few words with our skipper. They all stood in a row looking as if they was going to cry. ; “‘Good morning, Capt. Hart,’ ses one of 'em, as our old man came up with the mate. ’ “‘Good morning,’ ses he. i “ ‘Do you know this?’ ses one of ’em, suddenly, holding out Miss Mallow’s dressing gown on a walking stick. “‘Good ’eavens,’ ses the skipper, ‘1 hope nothing’s happened to that pore gal’ : 5 “The three captains shook their heads all together. - “‘She is no more, ses another of ’em. .

“‘How did it happen? ses the skipper, in a low voice. “‘She took this off’ ses the first captain, shaking his head and pointing to the dressing gown. “‘And took a chill?” ses the skipper, staring very ’ard. . “The three captains shook their ’eads agin, and I noticed that they seemed to watch each other and do it all together. i “‘1 don’t understand,’ ses the skipper. “‘I was afrald you wouldn’t’ ses the first captain; ‘she took this off.’ “‘So you said befofe,’ ses the skipper, rather short. ; “‘And became a boy agin,’ ses the other; ‘the wickedest and most artful young rascal that ever signed on with me. “He looked round at the others, and they all broke out into a perfeci roar of laughter, and jumped up and down and slapped each other on the back, as if they was all mad. Then they asked which was the one wot had 'is ears boxed, and which was Mr. Fisher and which was Mr. Scott, and told our skipper what a nice fatherly man he was. Quite a ‘crowd got ’round, an’ wonldn't go away for all we could do to 'em in the shape o buckets o’ water and lumps o’ coal, We was the laughing-stock o’ the place, and the way they carried on when the steamer passed us two days later with the first captain on the bridge, pretonding not to see that imp of a boy standing in the bows blowing us kisses and dropping curtsies, nearly mtholkipmoutot'hmd.‘_ B

It is impossible to keep the milk utensils too clean. ' Corn for the silo had rather be too ripe than too green. k

The dairy without the Babcock test. er is like the engine without the governor.

Cream that is ripe for churning presents a smooth, satiny appearance when stirred. =

The well-worn hoe is a good testimonial for the farmer. The rusty hoe tells another tale.

Little things done in season will lighten the big tasks and make farm: ing more pleasant and profitable.

One farmer recommends quarter pound doses of baking soda for colic in animals.

The fruit tree that shows a tendency to split at the crotch can be saved by boring a hole at the poi/nt of the split and putting a bolt through with a washer dt either end.

‘The intestinal nodules in nodular disease of sheep have been regarded as tuberculous in character, but are now known to be .due to the irritation caused by the immature form of an intestinal worm.

After harvesting the root crops turn the sheep in on the fields. They will pick up many of the small roots left behind. Surprising how much good feed is lost if the animals do not help to pick it up.

Carrots are good feed for dairy cows as well as other stock. . ' When not fed in too large quantities they provide the best winter food for the milk cows. The carrot is always greedily eaten by stock; as it has in it a considerable quantity of sugar and no element of bitterness. Carrots are also supposed to help color the milk in the direction desired, but it would take a good ‘many carrots to accomplish much in this regard. The effect of feeding carrots is very good on the digestive system.

Hogs need clear water and plenty of it. The amount of water they naturally use is very great. It has been found that a pig-fed corn meal as a principal diet used about 900 pounds of water to 100 pounds of gain. A pig fed barley meal used 1,500 pounds of water in making 100 pounds of gain on that diet. Many pigs get little moisture outside of what they get in the slop. They should have a separate drinking tank or trough filled with water where they can drink whenever they so desire. Even if they get an abundance of slop they will drink much water.

The appointment of a commission by the president to study farm conditions with a view to suggesting reforms that will make farm life more pleasant and wholesome has afforded the humorists of the country a new subject for their witticisms. Here is how it strikes the rhymster on the Washington Post: We've: been investigated down to Pohick on tﬂ: Crick, : s An’ I reckon that reform will strike us farmers purty quick; . We want the chickens taught to lay an egg just as they should, d Thout settin’ up a cackle that’ll wake the neighborhood; : We want the pigs to break away from customs of the past An’ learn to use a finger bowl and not to eat so fast; And cows should be persuaded not to overturn the pails When milkin’ time comes ’round, an’ not be switchin’ of their tails.

We ought to make arrangements with the weather bureau, too, For havin' rain turned on or off, accordin’ as it's due; [t’s a mighty glorious feelin’.to be lookin’ toward the day When we'll give up all the bothers of our plain old-fashioned way. When we’'ll sit up on a fence rail in some cool an’ .shady nook An’ help the corn an’ ’taters grow by readin’ from a book. L We've rolled our shirt sleeves down; nobody wants to do a lick Until this farm reform has lit at Pohick on the Crick. : “No,” said a farmer with whom I talked the other day, “I“hever break my horses until they are four years of age. They always do better work than the horses of my neighbors that are broken earlier.”” What did he mean? His idea of breaking a colt was putting it to hard work, and when [ suggested that the training of a colt should begin early in the first year he looked at me in amazement. I asked him if it was not a pretty tough job breaking the four-year-olds, and he admitted it was. The training of a colt does not mean that he must be worked. It simply means the educating of the animal to obey words of command, to submission to touch of harness and to follow the guidance of the reins. And how easy all this is while the colt is young and easy to handle. £ A horse broken in this way is more thoroughly broken than he ever can be where the task is left until he gets his growth and habits are formed. Who would think of leavIng the education of a child go until It had attained lta*‘rowtlg and was able to stand a man’s work? _ |

Watch the butter milk and be suve you are not losing lots of butter fat.

Little leakages cause big losses in the aggregate. Remember that.

Young ewes should as a rule never b.e bred under 14 months.

When through using a tool, or machine, put it up.

Feed the horses regularly. Irregular feeding encourages bolting of food, leading to indigestion.

It is no lunger a question: Does the silo pay? Rather, what is the best method of handling the silo?

Don’t forget that charcoal is good for the hogs, salt, also. Have it where they can help themselves.

The road horse stuffed with hay makes a poor traveler. Feed light on hay and heavier on oats when using the horses much.

Good bacon brings good prices. See that your breed of hogs is right, and then feed for the best results.

. Large animals consume less pounds of dry material per 1,000 pounds live weight per day than do small ones.

The bull that isn’t dangerous and the gun that isn’t loaded both belong in the same class and should be given a wide berth.

Be sure the chickens, young and old, have plenty of gravel. Much bowel trouble is caused by lack eof good grits. i

Intelligent feeding of live stock requires not only a ‘knowledge of the food constituents, but a knowledge of the animals fed.

When building the hen house be sure it has a south exposure and good window space. It will make it bright and warm this winter and will make the hens feel like laying.

It is a good thing to have the horse so gentle as to be able to crawl under him, and then it is a good thing not to do it. It is a poor place to be if the horse should suddenly startle.

It has long since been .demonstrated by experiments that corn alone does not make the best or most economical fattening ration. The corn must be balanced by a feed containing more of protein.

The board silo can be given a cement lining by cleating with lath and applying the cement. Silos thus lined should be thoroughly-: cleaned each year and then washed with thin cement to fill the cracks which may have formed in the thin lining.

Cream that has been allowed to stand too long will break or become watery and will not make the best flavored butter. The secret of good butter making is knowing just when the cream has reached the right stage of acidity. :

The horse with a long-established case of worms should be given a purgative before any tonic treatment is begun. Administer four drams of aloes before breakfast or on an empty stomach. Also give a warm enema of four quarts of strong soapsuds. Follow this with a course of tonics. Sulphate of iron, two drachms; gentian, four drams, and columbo, two drams; twice daily, for a week or two. Give at the same time sound, nourishing diet and gentle regular exercise.

Successful dairymen plan a system of crop rotation which enables them to have one market or cash crop,: besides the profitg from the dairy. The increased fertility brought on to ‘the farm from the use of concentrated feed stuffs more than offsets the amount of fertility removed by the sale of the dairy produces. Another factor is that the same help required properly to conduct a dairy can find time, outside of the regular routine of dairy work, to care for a profitable market or cash crop.

Tuberculosis symptoms vary sccording to the location of the d&fsease. Commonly the lungs are more or less involved. The disease is characterized. by dullness, tenderness of withers, back and loins, occasional dryness of the nose, heat of the horns and ears, want of pliancy of the skin, accelerated pulse, bad breath, slight, infrequent, dry cough; blue watery milk. If you are alarmed at the appearance of your herd write for expert opinion to your stite experiment station. : :

Here is the experience of one farmer with potatoes which showed a tendency to blight. In a patch of about half an acre he dug one-third just before the tops were dead, dried and put them in the cellar, Not one of these rotted and all seemed to keep in perfect condition. At the same time he pulled the tops on another third of the lot and burned them, leaving the potatoes in the ground until the middle of October, when he dug and put them in the cellar. These also kept perfectly. The other one-third he did not disturb until the first of October, and when dug fully one-half had rotted.

Clean cream, cold cream and rich cream are the three graces of the dairy business. Be clean and sanitary in milking. Have all pails, crocks, cans and dairy utensils scalded 'and clean. Keep the separator clean by washing after each separating. Cool each lot of cream in cold water before getting it away and have it thoroughly cooled before adding to the general lot of cream. Have a tank of cold water or a well -ventilated cool cellar in which to keep the cream, Stir each of the separate lots of cream every day to keep them uniform. Have a wire screen for each vessel so 28 to “air the cream” and keep out flies and insects. Skim a rich cream, 85 to 40 per cent., and it will keep sweet longer. Deliver the cream to the creamery or receiving station three times a week in sumwmer snd twice a week in wiuter. P
