THE FARMING WORLD, GRANDPA'S CRAZY QUILT. That's what I call grandpa’s farm. Herd’s a red patch—that's the barn; Here's a white one—that's the house; Here’s one. gray—just like a mouse; That's the granary, big and old; Yonder Is a patch of gold— ■* Grandpa's wheatfleli. bright and yellow. Rippling in the sunshine mellow. ’Way up there a patch of green » On the hillside steep is seen, Stitched all found withbarbed-wire fence— That's where grandpa's woods commence. Dark green patches—that’s the pines; Strips of light between, sometimes; Squares of dark. rich, golden brown— That’s where grandpa's plowed the ground. Mamma’s crazy quilt is pretty, But somehow it seems a pity Hours and hours to sit and sew On that sort of thing, you know. When if* tione it's far too nice To use, they s:«y. tit any price. Bo I think that grandpa s qtrflt Is better than one made ofsilk And satin pieces, cause, you see. His is useful as can be. —Harriet F. Crocker, in Union Signal.

NESTS FOR WINTER., Their Proper Arrangement Is a Task of Home Importance. , It is quite an item in arranging the poultry quarters for the winter to have the nests in a place by themselves. This place should be reasonably dark, be convenient-and comfortable. By having the location dark the hens will go into it onty to lay, and it will, be much easier to keep clean; the laying hens will not be disturbed, and they will be much less liable to get into the habit of eating eggs. The nests should be arranged so that they can readily be taken down when necessary to clean out. They should be reasonably near the ground in order to secure warmth and be convenient. They should not be so deep as to be inconvenient for getting in or out Clean straw makes one of the very best materials with which to line the nests, and a supply should be stored wherg it can be kept dry, in order to have a supply when needed during the winter. , It is important that the nests be kept clean, hence good care should be taken to arrange so that this cun be done with as little labor us possible. Warmth is essential in order to induce the hens to lay and also to prevent the eggs from getting chilled. If there is anj’ difference the place for the nests should be the warmest part of the house. The size must be determined bv the number of hens to be kept. While boxes make about as convenient nests as almost anything that can be arranged, these should be covered with a board or frame of cloth in such a way that the fowls cannot roost over them. This will help materially in keeping clean. Then, by taking down the boxes and cleaning out, changing the material in them every two 'or three weeks, the nests can be kept clean. By arranging to have the nests comfortable the hens will lay better, and during Che winter this is always an item. —birange Bulletin. SHADE FOR CHICKENS. A Shelter That War Help the Little Things in Many Ways. The run of a raspberry patch is an ideal shade and scratching ground for little chicks, but on some places there is hardly a tree or shrub at hand to keep olF the hot midday sun from the little fellows? Proture some cheap

cotton cloth and stretch it a foot from the ground across supports, as shown in the» cut. Such a shelter can be made any length desired, and will help the chicks amazingly.—Orange Judd Farmer. . Shipment of in Bulk, A consular report tells of large quantities of shelled eggs being sent to England from Russia and Italy for the use of pastry cooks, bakers, hotels and restaurants. The eggs are emptied from their shells into tiu cans holding one thousand or more, and after being hermetically sealed are packed with straw into wooden cases, the <taps, through which the contents are drawn, being added by those usihg them. Oreat care is necessary in selecting eggs, as a single bad one would spoil the whole lot. Lower price and saving of time, and greater ease Undress expense and loss in handling are named as the advantages of this system. Thus far the Russian product has. been uniformly good, whereas the Italian shipments have so frequently been spoiled that anatysis of the Russian supply has been ordered to determine if preservatives are used. Selling Kggs by Weight, Until the time arrives when eggs are sold by weight, both the poultry man and the consumer will be cheated. The consumer who buys his eggs by the dozen never pays the same price. He has the advantage to-day and loses it to-morrow. When the prices paid are based on weight, the sales can be as easily made as with potatoes, which are now sold by weight when sales are made wholesale, though retail purchasers often, pay dearly for allowing deliveries based upon bushel measures that have slippery bottoms, all in which the articles are “artistically arranged,” with a view of filling the measure with the fewest potatoes.— Farm and Fireside. Inducements for Meat Products. It looks as though the future offered excellent inducements for meat products, not only in the form of beef, but also as pork, mutton and poultry. It is an excellent opening for profit, and, as stock raising provides a home market for much that is1 grown on the farm, there is something gained in that respect, while more manure and increased fertility of the soil will result from the keeping of stock.— Troy (N. Y.) Times.

KANSAS CORN CUTTER. Its Inventor Thinks It Bents Anythin* of Its Kind. I have had quite a little experience with sled cutters for eorn; 1 ran three last ’fall One caught the fodder, but it was just as hard work to keep it raked off the knife as to catch it; and it was unhandy to start the shock row. as the fodder was cut on one Side and taken off at the other. Another cut two rows and pulled rather heavy. The frame is made by 2x4 stuff, and the floor of inch boards. The back part slopes up. carries four armfuls, and six rows make a shock row. Each person throws down two armfuls, ; takes a third' behind the machine. stands it up, spreads the butts and ! ties the tops with binding' twine. As they come back, they stop so that the

machine will not be in the way, shock the third armful, pick the others up as they were laid down, and they don’t have to be carried at all. The other machine (see cut) I |ike the best. It has but one knife, and cuts one row. It has two wheels on one side and a runner on the other to make .it run straight and steady. Otherwise, it is the same as the tworow machine. To use it. give the knife a good slant, tip the edge up slightly, and keep sharp. Dou't .put one hand on each side of the corn row and try to grab every stock, or they will get in the eyjes so one can't see, and then pile up, pull up. drop off, etc. llut sit well ahead of the knife, put both hands outside the row, tirst one ahead and then the other, bend the corn before it is cut off, and let it fall on the knee. Keep the butts off the knife, and it will be easier work than with a corn knife, and you can cut three times as much. I tie the saddles by taking the thiru armful behind the machine, spreading the butts in a circle about three feet across, and twisting the top tight; then twist it down against the side, and throw one of the stalks over to hold there. It will hold a shock up better than one made of standing corn, and is not in the way when hauling.— Rural New Yorker. FACTS FOR FARMERS. Wood ashes is the best fertilizer for grapes/ The fall is usually the best time to buy sheep. Let hogs always be hungry; endugh to sqjuealjfor their meals. Cabbages cannot have too rich a soil or be cultivated too often. To catch a sheep by the fleece is cruelty; take them by the hind leg or flank. The superiority of pure breeds of poultry is largely due to the better care ithat they receive. When the orchard begins bearing it should receive an annual dressing of phosphoric aeid and potash. Dcj.N'T let the weeds grow up and go to seed Where early crops have been removed and in the paths. If you do it will be adding to your work next year.— N. Y. World. A Veby fat hog in summer is a sufferer, and especially so if there is. not a plentiful supply of pure water. Slop is not sufficient/ I'ure water is essential, and a grass diet is much better than feeding grain. It is well to always mix a little chopped hay. straw or corn fodder with ground feed. This gives the finer food proper bulk, and keeps it from packing in the animal's stomach. It also adds Variety to the ration.

Fighting Weeds In the Field. We are frequently asked how to rid a field of such weeds as live forever, sorrel, Canada thistle, etc. When these pests are thick in the field, the only way is to plow it up, put in a hoed crop for a year or two, use fertilizer to avoid weed seed in manure, keep clear of weeds by thorough culture, and wpen putting down to grass be careful to use the best seed, free of weed seed. Pull up by the roots any weeds that appear in the new grass, and should they beeome numerous cut the grass before it is quite headed out, so as to prevent, the weeds from reseeding. No half-way .measure is so effective, while '‘quick and easy” methods of permanently getting rid of pestiferous weeds are unkfiown to —American Agriculturist, _ A New Remedy for Gapes. A very simple and safe remedy for gapes has been suggested, which is to open the beak of the chick and blow a pinch of insect powder down the throat. If the best insect powder be used, such as bubach, which ought to be procured at every drug store, no doubt it would prove efficacious. A solution may, by pouring a gill of boiling water on a tablespoonful of bubach, be made and bread moistened with it and crammed down the throat. As bubach is death to all insect life we believe it will destroy the gape worm, but as we have not tried it we would suggest experimenting on one chick l>efore usiug it on, the others.—Prairie Farmer._ Coal Oil Injections for Roup. When the fowls have taken cold and the ominous crackle or bad odor in their breathing indicates roup, catch them one by one and with a small syringe or sewing machine oil can inject coal oil into nostrils, roof of mouth and even a little down the throat. Repeat a few days later and you can say “farewell to roup.” One of our subscribers, J. D. Henderson, has followed, this for eighteen months and treated some two hundred fowls successfully.—Home, Farm and Fancier. ♦

! SAVED BY A FRLELYD. From the Evening Poet. Chicago. Iti William H. Tlieel, who is employed by the Title, Guaranty and Trust Comiamy, in the Stock Exchange, Chicago, was seen one evening last week at the residence of his parents, 2T>S Blast Blackhawk Street His experience is an interesting one, indeed, which, will prove more interesting in allowing him to tell It in his own words. He says: “Some time ago I had an attack of typhoid fever which kept me in bed for several weeks. Having from childhood always been in very delicate health, my physician and also my parent# feared that 1 must surely succumb to the disease. But I gradually passed the danger point and after some time became convalescent, and in due course cf time became strong enough to go down town and attend to my clerical duties. But for some reason 1 could not get back my strength and 1 found that the effects of the malady were still present in my system. I had no appetite, and the most tempting dishes which my anxious mother could pre- j pare had no attractions for me. I became j pale, languid, gained no strength and, in | fact, became weaker day after day. I be- ! came morose and peevish, and added to this ! state of my nervous system there was every evidence of quick consumption—such as ; short breathing, a deathly pallor, relieved j onlv by hectic flushes, and, in fact, a geueral breaking down of my whole system. My ' condition was such that my parents became very much alarmed, although orecourse they did not communicate their fears,to me. The fact is that while I saw their alarm and felt mvself surely and slowly losiugjmy hold oa this life I really did not care, for life had become a burden to mo the way that 1 felt. “It was while I was in this desperate frame of mind that ouc day my fellow clerk handed I me a pamphlet and two boxes of Dr. Wil- i , lianas* Pink Pills which ho brought me from I the drug store across the street. I took [ both the boxes and the pamphlet home and I showed them to my mother. She was of the opinion that if the medicine would do as it was claimed, it might save my life, and she advised me bv all meaus to give it a fair trial. 1 did so and the result exceeded my fondest hopes. Although 1 have so far only used three boxes of the piils, the improvement of general condition is almost marvelous. The severe headaches from which I suffered untold torments have wholly disappeared, my appetite is again good, I eat heartv meals three times a day and digest the food splendidly, ai d tny strength is re- | turning. My complexion, as you can see for yourself, is quite clear. My lungs are sound and, in fact, 1 am now a healthy and strong man.’*

Women have various degrees of liking for the fumes of tobacco smoke. To some it is utterly reprehensible; others have a certain tolerance for it, while the majority will tell a man that they either liue it, that thet* are really fond of the fumes of a good cigar, or that they have beed ‘‘seasoned** and do not mind smoke. If the majority of women were to be truthfu about the matter men would find, I think, that they have only a certain educated tolerance for it, based upon the knowledge that the men of their hearts and homes like to smoke, and so they put up with it as well as they can. In 6hort. women tolerate tobacco smoke, for the most part, because they feel they have to. As a matter of fact the fumes of any cigar, no matter how good the brand, can be nothing else than instiuctly distasteful to the sensitive organism of any woman. Women have a charming way of hiding their feelings in this matter, but the feeding is there just the same. All things be

mg'equal, that is, if the average wife knew her husband would be just as happy and contented without smoking as with it,I fancy she would pre fer him without the smoking. This being so, and it only admits of a fancied denial, it becomes men to regulate their smoking in the home. A man’s idea of a home is a place where one room is the same as another, so far as his comfort is concerned. And women, as a rule, have never interposed any strenuous objection to this mental picture of man. A very charming woman not long age struck the keynote of the whole situation as H is most conducive to the fullest happiness when she said: ’*1 want my husband to feel that he and his friends can smoke in any room in this house save one, our bed-chamber. That I want to keep free from the cigar.” To many, particularly so to well-bred persons, it may seem strange that any word of comment should be necessary on the subject of men smoking in the bed-chambers of their homes. Yet its strangeness does not rob the matter of the necessity of it. I am free to believe that the vast majority of men would not think of smoking in a bedchamber. At the same time it is well sometimes to write to the minority. “A gentleman, surely, would not do it,” said a woman to me recently as we were talking on this subject, and yet when she went over the list of her friends she found that she knew one or two of her friends who had mentioned the fact to her that their husoands did smoko in their sleeping apartments, And she was compelled to confess that she esteemed these men in the light of pcnilemen.—Ladies' Home JournaL ,
