A fcood season to raise hay often coans a ixor season to make It Fine emery and oil will make a good paste with which to brighten tools. The grass crop that the corn grower does not care to Bee prosper Is the foxtail grass. Sometimes the man who sits and waits for something to turn up Is soon turned down. A silo six feet square will hold enough cider pomace for six cattle all winter and will prove a good Investment . Thft head may be said to be In good working order when It can be usea to save the hands. These agents should be In close co-operation. A man might as well attempt to drink the Taciflc ocean dry as to attempt to whip fright out of a horse When a horse is frightened it will taulre different tactics. . Cultivating corn In a field where the old stalks have been plowed under Is like joining a secret society one Is continually wondering if the next row will b as difficult to get over as the last. The roan who never reads is Incapable of doiug much thinking, and he pits his mus.l against the other man's business 3u 'fication brought about by thinking, a: Jius works on the short end of the douolctrec A boy can make no greater mistake, rrom the standpoint of hla own welfare, than to choose a rich man for his father. Nothing generates snap like poverty. When It Is "root hog or die" oni generally finds some well directed rooting. Many hay-makers now practice etczIng with sweep or other raprd devices In the fields and put the hay In the mow afterward when there Is more time to do the work. The plan Is practiced because they can get up more hay In a fclren time In catchy weather. Horseradish 1.? a difficult plant to eradicate, but If plowed out when In full Uy.f and the plant is prevented from"- making new roots - during the 6ummr, It will go a long ways toward discouraging ,It If disturbed during the dormant season only. It 'Will not fave much effect on It Tha fairest boss a hireJ man can have Is the one who worlds along with his man, for he has an Idea what wor Is ami how much ought to be performed In a f iven time. No one who does not work can be In sympathy with labor. The tired man is today better paid than any other laborer of like character. Nothing saves ' time better in bush fruit growing than planting wide enough apart to cultivate with a harrow and team instead of a cultivator. When the land is' cultivated, less than half the time is taken than by the usual method. This encourages more frequent tillage and consequent Increase of crops. If your meadow land along the banks of a stream is being slowly eaten Into by the force of the water at the curves of the channel the remedy Is to Insert a clc&e row of willow stakes about a foot from the edge'ef the place where the wear is noticed. - The stakes will root and grow and will usually hold the banks. . vThe hired girl problem is getting worse Instead of better. Many girls seek employment in cities because the wsgn are larger and there are more privileges. They then marry city men, leavLi; the country boys to find companions In city girls, who' in turn will net live on the farm, and both boys and girls are lost to the farm. Toads should rank next to birds as Insect destroyers in the orchard and garden. The toad Is not as handsome as a bird, but has a large omnivorous appetite; feeds under the leaves where the birds cannot go, has neither a bite nor a sting for anyone, and is one of the best friends the gardener has. Everything possible should be. done to encourage their increase. In Yorkshire, England, there is a farm for the raising of rare moths and butterflies for zoological collections, the groual being planted with suitable trees and shrubs. In their season the stock of caterpillars is twenty thousand. From thirty to forty thousand preserved insects are kept in stock, so that epecimens may be supplied to museum at any time of the year. If one peach Is two Inches in diameter and another Is three inches, how muca larger is the latter than the former? Just half as big again? Oh, no! That would be a bad guess. It is Uiree and three-eighths times as large. Don't you believe it? Let your boy ask the school teacher, and If the teacher oesnt know, ask anyone that is way up on mathematics." It Is better for a peach tree to bear three bushels of large peaches thai; three bushels of small peaches. Why? Because the large peach is mostly Juice water but the small peach is mostly pit dry matter. It Is very hard on a tree to mature a big crop of pits, but not so hard to produce a big crop cf fruit Thin the peaches severely and the tree will live longer, other things being equal. Many a young man Is of the opinion that money produces thrift It Is the reverse; thrift produces money and good business acumen guides him In making more out of that already made by thrift. In the business of making money, however, one should not overlook his duty to himself and family as a man. Sometimes money gets such a strong possession of some men that they forget to be men. In the efforts to make potato spraying popular among the farmers of the state, the New York Experiment Station at Geneva has been carrying on co-operative tests with farmers In all parts of the state. As a result of the spraying carried on by fcrty-one farmera on a total of 300 acres, the average

gain due to spraying was fifty-eight bushels per acre, at a cost of about $3 per acre, giving a net profit of about $112 per acre, after paying the expense of spraying. As a result of this good work it is asserted that the practice of spraying Is on the increase in New York.

How tt Get Alfalfa Started. Early attempts with alfalfa are likely .to' prove a failure unless the peculiar requirements of the young plants are thoroughly understood and the many pitfalls guarded against It is best to start with a small patch an acre or less and. to mako from four to eight subdivisions and give each a different treatment as regards fertilizer, lime, method of seeding, etc. In this way the experience which would otherwise require a number of seasons to procure can be obtained at the end of the first year. ropaaratlna Apple Treea. Apples are propagated either by root grafting or by budding on seeding stocks. If the former Is employed, scions of the varieties chosen are united to 1-year-old roots by the whip, or tongue-grafting method. Sometimes short scions and long roots are used. In which case the result is called a whole root graft, and sometimes Jon? sclona rnd, short pieces cf roots are used, when the result is known as a piece root graft. Root grafting Is dene at any time during winter or early spring. If budding Is resorted to, the seedling stocks are lined out In spring and budded close to the ground In summer by the T-budding, or shield-bud method. Chinese Gooie Good Layer. Often difficulty Is experienced in getting the old farmyard geese to lay early in the season, but that may be surmounted if the Chinese variety be more extensively kept The Chinese goose is a most prolific layer, and the flesh makes excellent eating. . So long as the huge fat geese are not in demand,- the smaller and more profitable Chinese may be taken up with advantage. Terhaps the best crossbred goose for general early marketing purposes Is that produced from mating a Chinese garvler with a Toulouse goose, but If a larger supply of eggs It required, the mating should be reversed. In either case the youngsters are extremely hardy, growing and feathering more quickly than any other breed or cross. They should attain a weight of eight or nine pounds by the end of the summer with very lit tle hand feeding. Angora Growing- In Faror. ,The value of grade Angora goats, says American Sheep Breeder, depends chiefly on how well they are bred. Low grade Angoras with only two or three crosses of Angora blood should be worth in Oklahoma $2.50 or $2.73 a head. A better grade of Angoras, say three-quarter blood, probably would cost $3.50 a bead. Mohair is worth ths year from 25 to 40 cents a pound, depending upon the length, fineness and condition of the hair. There is no doubt Mr. Blair, about the future of the Angora business. The Angora is already a national Institution in this country and is here to stay, and we are pleased to say to' you that Angoras are growing steadily in favor each year. On new, wild, brushy land they are simply invaluable and a hundred of them are worth more to clear up a new farm than the best two woodsmen that ever wielded an axe, because they clean It up thoroughly, leaving no live roota or syrouts behind them. Strawberry- Planting. If you do not have .a strawberry bed In your garden and want one, August Is a good time to start It provided you plant pot-grown plants. , These pot-grown plants are runners which were rooted In pots early In the season. i You could not use at this season plants which had not been pot-grown because the pos would he so badly damaged In the transplanting that they could not furnish the plant with the amount of water which it would demand. That kind of plant, known as flayer plants" may be set out In September, but they would not give you any fruit next spring under ordinary eultlvat'on, while pot-grown plants oei out in August will bear next spring". In a bed 10x20 feet one may grov 100 plants. If the soil Is a heavy clsy thoroughly work into It a dressing several inches in thickness, of coal ashes, and half a ton of manure, before setting the plants. Äs soon as the ground freezes, spread another half ton of manure over the bed as a mulch. The following spring, as soon as th first leaves show above the mulch, pull the manure away from the crown! of the plants, and work It into the soiL Such a bed will bear more strawberries than a family of three can eat fresh. Inaect - Feats, The poultry house absolutely free ol lice and mites is the happy exception and not the general rule. One must b ever vigilant and constantly aggressive In the warfare against these pests ic order to even keep them in' subjection, says Mattie Webster in Poultry Topicc When a breeder tells me that not a louse or mite can be found In his or her poultry domain I cannot help thinking that a thorough lnvestlgatlo-j of the houses would discover some of tbes torments hidden away under perches or In some dark corner. Why this doubt of my brother or sister breeder's assertion, do you ask? Well, the time wa! when I made like assertions, and thought truthfully, but I had a rud awakening from my dream of louseless and mlteless houses and fowls. Just as soon as I became aware o' the preseact of lice a general cleaning was the order of the day, but never since have I declared as systematically as in th times before I discovered the unwelcome residents that there were neithei lice nor mites in my poultry house. Whether you know that there are lice or mites present or not, it will do nc harm to treat the houses as If you were sure the unwelcome Insects were there Spray the perches often with keroseiw and crude carbolic acid mixed, or with some one of the good lice killers on th market and occasionally dust the fowls well with a good Inject powder.

AN AMERICAN ENGINEER..

One of the most remarkable stories of recent military history, one which is oo little known in this country, Is that f George F. Labrain, of Detroit, who ;vas killed In the defense ot Kimberley (n the Boer War. So much did h!s lehicvements have to do with the ultiliate safety of the diamond camps that he received the thanks of the British rovernment, and was referred to by Lord Roberts, as having done something unparalleled in modern warfare. Mr. Labrani was, at the outbreak of the war, says a writer in the Century Magazine, chief engineer of the De Beers consolidated mines, a position to which he had succeeded after havlnj Installed American machinery there. The Boers almost at once besieged the town. Mr. Labram, seeing that there was a considerable stock of cattle which probably could not long be kept grazing, and knowing that the meat would not keep more than a day, at ance set about the construction of a large refrigerator plant, using, at Cecil Rhode's direction, the shops of the company for material and apparatus. Without further assistance than the aiinlng-camp could provide he accomollshed this difficult feat. The cattle were slaughtered, and the flesh was kept sweet until needed. It supplied the garrison for many weeks. While this was going on Mr. Labram planned and constructed a telephone system connecting every part of the fortifications of the town, and built an elevated steel "connlng-tower" in the town, to which all lines ran, so that the defense could be directed from that point When the Boers cut the mains which brought water to the city and thus threatened to drive out the garrison, Mr. Labram installed a pumping system, and secured an ample flow of water from a deep pit In one of the diamond-mines. To prevent night at tacks, he Improvised a number of huge search-lights, and mounted them on the corners of the fortifications, whence every night they swept tae surrounding plains. The siege had not continued long before the garrison began to run short of shells for their twelve seven-pounder puns. Shell-making Is a "highly specialized trade; but Mr. Labram. after examining a seven-pound shelldesigned an entirely new missile of his own t.o fit the guns, and began In a 6hort time turning them out of his machine-shep at the rate of sixty or seventy a cay shells so good that after an exhaustive test In service they were rralscd as "extraordinary'! by military experts. But ammunition for seven-pounders was not enough. The Boers soon brought up a huge Creusot cannon, of six-Inch caliber, which was able ' to bombard the town from a long distance, and If not replied to, would soon have wiped out the defenders. Mr. Labrani sat about constructing, with the faculties of the diamond-mine repair-shops, a cannon which could reply. From some steel billets designed for shafting and several bars of Iron he built a fourInch breech-loading rifle of an excellent type. To complete this he bad to design and build special machinery, and inuch of the work was done under fire. Nevertheless it was accomplished in trrontv-four days. During the same time a quantity of twenty-eight-pound shells were made to use in the gun. The range of the rifle was more than eight thousand yards, and it successfully held the Boers back until the rescuers came. Mr. Labram himself did not live to see victory achieved. Less than a week before the'rellef came a shell from the Boer Creusot entered his room and killed him instantly. He was burled with military honors under fire fro:a the enemy. Lending. Ilia Hand. The occasion on which Professor Faraway was invited to speak in public were times of great anxiety to his wife. If she succeeded Sn starting him for the platform properly clothed, and with his notes In his hand, part of her cares vanished, but not all of hem. One evening her husband was one ol seven distinguished professional men who were to speak before a scientific society consisting of men from all parts of the country. His speech was clear that night free from the absent-minded murmurs which sometimes Interspersed his discourse, and as he seated himself Mrs. Faraway felt that he. had fully earned the. burst of applause and then her cheeks crimsoned. ' "Did you see anything amusing about the close of my address, my dear?" asked the professor, as they started for home. "It seemed as if I heard sounds suggestive of merriment about me." , ' "I don't wonder," said Mrs. Faraway, who, up to that time, had maintained the silence of despair, ufor of all the people who applauded your address, you with your head In the air and your chair tilted sidewise, clapped the loudest and longest!? "Where Pnlacea Are Cheap. No more romantic places xlst thar the deserted cities of Italy.

That Inhabitant may be some Italian or English lady who has a very small income, and she may get suet a palace, where some Cardinal or Marchese formerly lived, for a few pounds a year.

Great Britain with 49,375 miles. More than twice as many telegrams are sent In Great Britain as in Germany, and nearly double the number in France. All the stores and other places of business in Garden Plain, Kan., ceased business for three days recently, and the whole town went into the fields to help the farmers Larvest their grain. The merchants say that the trade has been so good since they have reopened that they are sure they have not lost through closing. A Maine woman owns the best protection against the ubiquitous fly. It is nothing but a simple hornets' nest, that hangs just outside the house door. Its Inmates are so tamed by the kindness of their owner that they never molest or sting her. Not a fly has entered the house since the installation of this unique flytrap. William Howe, a merchant In Highland, Doniphan County, Kan., says that the farmers around there do nearly all their shopping after supper, and that they come to town as late as 8 or 9 o'clock and that the buying is often kept up until after 11. The practice has become so general that there is little country trade during the day. A letter has jnst been received in Montpeller, Vt, that was mailed In Ireland, fifty-two years ago. It was sent to Montpeller, but from there went to the . dead letter office, where it has remained. The letter was mailed to Catherine Burgen by her daughter, but qs Mrs. Burgen is dead, It was delivered to the sender's sister-In-law when she was found by the faithful dead letter office. ' VA bald-headed resident of North Adams has invented a means of protecting his head from the flies.N The device consists of a piece of cardboard through which a hole is cut the size of his head, and over this Is pasted sticky fly paper, sticky side out An elastic cord holds the contrivance In place. The man says the flies do not detect the deception until It is too late, but shoot for the shining surfaces with as much avidity as they do for the most polished pate. IS .A "CHEERFUL LIAR."

Drngglat Help Cnatomera br Ir tending to Hare Ills. A pale, weak girl entered a downtown drug store the other day, says the New York Press. She seemed about to collapse. The proprietor assisted her into a chair and prepared a mild stimulant for her. The druggist's manner was so sympathetic that a little later she confided to him that she suffered with bei heart and feared she had not inucfc longer to live. "Heart disease'" Inquired the druggist genially. "Why, I have heart disease myself have had it for years. That's nothing.. I don't worry myselt about It I don't look like a man with a load on his mind, do I? You probably think that you are liable to drop off any time. On the contrary, any doctor will tell you that the average person with heart dlser.se generally 11 res to o good old age. The very care that a sufferer from heart disease takes of him self or herself is calculated to lengthen his years indefinitely. You see a man with a weak heart naturally Is careful of himself a bit he doesn't commit any excesses, never overdoes anything, lives In moderation and thus keeps his vitality unimpaired. 'That's all you have tc do. Just take care of yourself. What't the use of worrjlng. . The druggist's cheerfulness was. In fectious, the genial Interest of his talk made depression appear foolish, and the girl soon began to look more hopeful and even smile. After the druggist had gayly chatted with her a while she rose and walked out of the store with firm step. This druggist, though he would scorn the idea if suggested to him, is a benefactor to humanity. He Ts a believer ir. the power of cheerfulness, and tht good that he does In his peculiar waj is not easy to estimate. Keeping Cool.

This stove is designed to keef people cool insead of hot Just as we heat, our houses in the States in winter with coal stoves. 60 the wanderer who has set up housekeeping In the Philippines cools his house with a cold stove These cold stoves are made to look something like an ordinary stove, and being fed with ammonia and chemicals, give out radiations of cold waves Instead of heat.

Lars and Small Game Found In Abundance In Brltlah Columbia. If Xlmrod came to British Columbia he would -experience another heyday. The sports of the forest and stream are triumphant here. Moose, elk, caribou, mountain goats and sheep, bears grizcly, brown and black mountain lions, Dr cougars, and deer of several kinds range In sufficient numbers for sport almost anywhere, and in ample quantities for ruthless .slaughter in many places, so that Nitorod, whether pothunter or sportsman as the modern lines are drawn, would surely find satisfying excitement and trophies worthy of his fame and skill, says Field and Stream Small game, too, spreads throughout the country, and the biggest bags are easily filled In a few hours' shooting. And old Izaak Walton, the father of angling, would find an abundance of the "contemplative man's recreation," as the lakes and streams teem with the finest game fish. The best big game portion of British Columbia is doubtless In the vicinity Df the headwaters of the Bridge river, accessible by stage or preferably by pack train from Ashcroft a station and little town on the main line of the transcontinental railway about 200 miles 'east of Vancouver. Ashcroft Is ilso on the Fräser river, and from here the celebrated Caribous tote road, built during the early gold excitement, xtends northward to Quesnel, the base for the considerable gold-mining operations thereabouts. Throughout this district caribou, big-horn sheep and white goats roam In bands. Fishing ind bird shooting are also good. GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP. No Medicine So Beneficial to Drain aud IVervea. Lying awake nights makes it hard to keep awake and do tilings In daytime. To take "tonics and stimulants" under such circumstances Is like setting the house on' fire to see If you can put it out The right kind of food promotes refreshing sleep at night and a wideawake individual during the day. A lady changed from her old way of eating to Grape-Nuts, and says: "For about three years I had been a great sufferer from Indigestion. After trying several kinds of medicine, the doctor would ask me to drop oit potatoes, then meat, and so on, but in a few days that craving, gnawing feeling would start up, and I would. vomit everything I ate and drank. "When I started on Grape-Xuts, vomiting stopi-d, and the bloating feeling which was so distressing disappeared entirely. "My mother was very much bothered with diarrhea before commencing the GraieNuts, because her stomach was so weak she could not digest her food. Since using Grape-Nuts she is well, and Bays she don't think she could live without It "It is a great brain restorer and nerve builder, for I can sleep as sound and undisturbed after a supper of GrapeNuts sis la the old days when I could not re:.i..e what they meant by a 'bad stomach. There Is no medicine so beneficial to nerves aud brain as a good night's sleep, such as you can enjoy after eating Grape-Nuts." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. "There's a reason."

Terrible Scaly Humor in Patches All Over the Body Skin Cracked and Bleeding Cured by Cuticura. "I was afllicted with psoriasis for thirty-five years. It was In patches all over my body. I used three cakes of Cuticura Soap, six boxes of Ointment and two bottles of Resolvent In thirty days I -was completely cured, and I think permanently, as it was about five years ago. The psoriasis first made its appearance in red spots, generally forming a circle, leaving in the center a spot about the size of a silver dollar of sound fiesh. In a short time the affected circle would form a heavy dry scale of white silvery appearance and would gradually drop off. To remove the entire scales by bathing or using oil to soften them the flesh would be perfectly raw, and a light discharge of bloody substance would ooze out That scaly crust would form again In twenty-four hours. It was worse on my arras and limbs, although it was In spots all over my body, also on my scalp. If I let the scales remain too long without removing by bath or" otherwise, the skin would crack and bleed. I suffered intense itching, worse at nights after getting warm in bed., or blood warm by exercise, when it woi!d be almost unbearable. W. M. Chi Jester, Hutchinson, Kan., April 20, J90-V Differently Expreaaed. Two groups of people were seated Id the waiting room of a railroad station. One consisted of a young man, and two young ladles dressed in the height ot fashion, the other, a man and hia wife not so fashionably attired. They had been there only a few minutes when a girl came In whose complexion was as nearly perfect as any thing in this world ever is. While she was buying her ticket the young man remarked to the ladies with him: "Isn't Miss Cransford a beauty? Her complexion is as perfect as a rose." At the same time the other man clutched his wife's arm and whispered : "Lord, Nan; hasn't that gal got purty hide?" Liipincott's Magazine. The University of Notre Dame, it appears, has some features that cannot be duplicated in any other school. It Is one of the old, well-established colleges, with settled traditions reaching back sixty-four years, with a distinguished staff of professors and excellent library and laboratory equipment Its discipline Is of the paternal kind strong without being, oppressive: and as It embraces In Its scope the grammar school, high school, and college work. Its appeal is as broad as It is potent Perhaps the. most remarkable feature of the famous Indiana University, however, Is the fact that it has arrived at its present marvelous development absolutely without .endowment An announcement of the courses provided at Notre Dame appears on anotbsr paje.
