And don't forget that the barnyard manure is the best all-round fertilizer you can obtain. Talk over with the good housewife all the undertakings of the farm. She will have some good advice to offer. A very common mistake made by tree planters Is setting the trees too close together; this Is especially true of shade trees. A man at Auburn, Iowa, has a living colt with only two legs. It Is well formed In every way except that the fore legs are missing. It Is being fed from a bottle. Farmers between Shumway and Effingham, 111., have taken possession of an unused railroad track and have rigged up a handcar that Is propelled by a pole. They use It for hauling their produce to market. The Chicago butter and egg board is a new undertaking to educate housewives so they fnay tell the difference between real butter and butterinei This Is believed to be In the Interest Df pure butter producrs. If a woman has to be her own cardener she should not Indulge her fancy In space larger than S3x45 feet. In this she can raise enough small summer vegetables to satisfy a family of three and enough flowers to fill the house with blooms from early spring to late fall. Where a decent amount of preliminary roai work and grading has been done roads can be kept in fair shape If no other Implement Is used than broad tired wagons for hauling produce to market. These tend to mash lumps of dirt, fill up the ruts and pack the earth down so that it will shed water In first-class shape when it rains. Among the many necessary reforms In farm management and operation to enable the farmer who has failed to obtain satisfactory results may be mentioned plowing deeper, using more farm-made manure, more thorough cultivation, better drainage, refraining from extensive experiments with new, untried crops and more scientific balancing of food for live stock. Radishes grow very quickly, and will get out of the way of other plants in time to give them an opportunity to push forward. Hence, in order to save room, radish seed may be sown in the rows with the seed of other plants that are 6low in growth. The long scarlet variety is one of the best. In order to have them crisp and tender they should be pushed forward as. rapidly as possible. ' To kill the germs of smut in grain, flip the seed into water heated to a temperature of 133 degrees for five minutes. This kills the smut germs, but the seed thus treated must be planted within two days. Sow broadcast or with endgate seeder. This treatment Improves seed oats, causing them to germinate from two to four days earlier and to make a more vigorous growth. All small seeds, including garden seeds,." germinate quicker when thus treated. Renewing the grass lands of the farm quickly and thoroughly Is something worth while to know how to da It sometimes happens that the grass runs out when it is needed, and it is impossible to plow. Harrowing early In the spring and sowing a mixture of timothy and other grases will greatly Improve the crop on such fields In another season. It may, however, on some lands bring a crop of weeds, whese seeds have lain dormant for years, and only need scratching of the surface to Induce germination. Dry Farming. There has been great progress made in "dry farming" during the last year; that is, . a great deal more land Is now being cultivated by the "dry farming" method than a year ago. As showing the advance of the work in Colorado, the Denver Post gives the following: Total number acres "dry farmed" i Colorado 300,000 Total number acres "dry farmed" in Eastern Colorado 200,000 Increase over List year for the State 100,000 This, as will be seen, shows that the Increase In the acreage under "dry farming" during the year In Colorado Is f0 per cent. We quote the above to show what Is being done In the semlarld sections of other States In order that those who live In the semlarld sections of Texas, New Mexico and other parts of the Southwest may be encouraged to take up the work, for that which can be done in Colorado can be accomplished In other sections. It therefore lehooves farmers who Live In parts of the country where the rainfall is light to test patiently and carefully the "dry farming" method in ordr that they may profit by it and enCourage others to do so. Galveston News. Growing Gran. Sod land is always ready to make growth as sxn as the warmth of spring Logins, but when new pastures or grass crops are seeded down early In the spring the future progress of the crop will deind largely upon the manner in which the land was prepared and the amount of plant food supplied. There Is no substitute for grass in the summer season, as It provides bulky and succulent food tefore many other crops are ready,' largely adding to the production of milk, butter and meat, and is harvested by the anir.ials themselves while on. tUe pasture, thus avoiding considerable labor In feeding, as well as providing a variety of foods that can not be secured In any other manner. The grass crop for hay should be a separate one. Clover and timothy are the standards for hay, although they do not riiKn together. hay grasses bhould be pastured, as the feet of animals do considerable harm, -yhile the field is never eaten of? evenly. The pasture grasses Intended for grazing purjoses only should consist of as many varieties as possible, while such Is not necessary for the hay crop. A variety of grasses that Is indigenous to the soil of the pasture lot may sooner

or later crowd out all other kinds and take possession of it, but if such variety is relished by the stock it wli: probably be found better than any oth er kind on account of its hardiness and ability to withstand droughts. Whether for hay or pasture, the lani should be deeply plowed and well harrowed, so as to have the soil in th finest possible condition. This is essentlul. for the reason that the young plants will have better facilities fot feeding and will rapidly increase it root growth before the warm days oi July and August. Tne more early th growth the grass can make, the bettei It will be able to endure a dry spell If manure Is used it should be thoroughly decomposed la order that alj seeds of weeds may be destroyed, as it I- dlfflcule to get at weeds growing on a grass plot. The main point In growing a grass crop is to get an even and uniform stand at the beginning, for any gain at the start will be of advantage at later periods of growth. While mixed grass es should be preferred on a pasture field, it is better to grow hay crops singly unmixed the mixing of the foods to be done at the barn when feeding the animals after harvesting the grass crops. It is better for the farmer not to depend upon a single kind of hay crop, as the prolonged drought may destroy it. Instead of growing clover and timothy only, Hungarian grass and fodder corn, which can, If necessary, be. seeded late and moved at any stage of growth, according to circumstances. With due regard to the fertility of the soil, it Is conceded that a large yield depends upon the supply of moisture, for which reason the rule with farmers to get their crops as far ahead as possible before the dry weather sets In. Sometimes a single shower at a time when the ground is dry is worth more than a prolonged period' of ralu early In the season. FaUcnlnjr Without Grain. The business of fattening sheep and lambs for the Eastern markets has developed wonderfully in the Fort Collins district in Northern Colorado, which is the greatest In the United States in point of number of head fed, there being In round numbers GOO.000 sheep and lambs on feed in the district this winter. This development is due in a large measure to experiments by Professor W. Ia Carlyle at the Colorado Agricultural college, by which it was demonstrated that steers could be taken from the range and be put in prime condition for market without an ounce. of grain of any kind In their ration. It was also demonstrated to the satisfaction of the feeders In the Fort Collins district that old ewes that have outlived their usefulness on the range and whose teeth are too worn to eii' able them to eat grain would thrive and 'fatten rapidly on ; simple ration of alfalfa and the pulp of sugar beet. About 15,000 head of range steers and not less than 100,000 old ewes are In the pens and being fattened on a ration of beet pulp and alfalfa hay in and near the sugar factory yards in Northern Colorado. Pulp feeding, however, has Its limitations, as Is very well understood by the feeders there. It is not being fed in as large quantities as usual to lambs, as greater profit Is made in lamb feeding where corn and alfalfa hay are used to constitute the principal ration. The 6hort term feeders are making the most money this year. These men ship in old ewes from the range and keep them on pulp and alfalfa hay for six or eight weeks, then put them on the market. The feed consumed In this time only costs about 23 cents per head and the feeders are enabled to turn their money often. Farm Labor. One of the g-vatestproblemsconfront-Ing agricultur is competent farm help that can be sf .-ured at a compensation proportionate to the net earnings of the farmer. Manufacturers, mining and railroads furnish employment to a vast number of workers who are under trained foremen, and then wages are graduated according to the amount of product they can turn out Manufacturers nd transportation corporations are capitalized and the investment Is required to earn a fixed dividend for the stockholders. The earnings are expected to exceed the dividends, operating expemes and fixed charges to create a surplus fund to conduct affairs in emergencies and during panics, without stopping dividends. The farmer Is compelled to compete in the open market for help to conduct his agricultural operations. While the farmer is delighted If his investment returns a reasonable profit, he has oo recourse if the seacon's results are conducted at a loss. The manufacturer In times of financial strigency, to protect stockholders, discbarges a part of his force, reduces their wages, or runs his plant on shorter hours. The farmer can only protect himself from exorbitant wages by the purchase of costly labor-saving machinery. The world moves forward, and the higher cost of living, the increase in value of farm lands and the higher prices of agricultural products will not soon revert to the old low standards. The farmer will not find cheap labor offered in the market, except by inefficient employes. Agriculture Is anually becoming more of a business proposition, and the standard of labor advanced on the farm. The farm laborer must understand modern agricultural machinery, and how to operate It, to obtain employment. Machinery Is too expensive to be trusted with Inexperienced operators, and the man who can skillfully handle modern farm Imp'ements is In demand on the farm at u wage scale that will compare favorably with the employes in Industrial enterprises. Farmers are now practical business men, arid the majority of them keep books on farm . operations, and know the amount of their profit and loss annually. Farming as a profession Is becoming more attractive and diversified, and labor newels to be mon. skilled to meet new conditions of agriculture. The inducements are iotenthiI for young men to qualify as farm laborers, and the field offers as brilliant prospects as any other profession. The fanner Is not so much In quest ;f cheap labor as ofiicient help, and Is willing -:o pay a wage stle proportionate to the ability and proficiency of the laborer as an op-to-date farm hand.

The group outside of the Yellow Witch's tent shivered in agreeable anticipation. The Idler, who had Just gone out, was besieged by eager Inquiries. "Is she blood-curdling? . "What did she tell you?" "Haven't you guessed who she Is?" The Idler sank exhaustedly into a deck chair. "Don't talk to me. I require nourishing food and strong drink. She is a terror, and this kind of entertainment is too strenuous for a garden party." "Oh, but do tell us !" begged the Bud. "Does she tell you who you are in love with?" "Or who's in love with you?" supplemented the Timid Man. "Such a pity to quote Byron,' irelove is of man's life a thing apart; 'tis woman's whole exist " "Love?" scoffed the Idler. "Man't marked the Freckled Girl to a neighbor. "Dates you so, doesn't it? more than a bald head." . The Idler gasped Indignantly. "Allow me to tell you " he spluttered. "Oh, another time," begged the Freckled Girl, impudently. "Just now we can think of nothing but the Yellow Witch." "I have nothing whatever to tell you about her," the Idler avenged himself. "We must respect her Incognito," mimicked the Sharp Girl, loftily. "Until we can tear it away." laughed the Freckled Girl. "But a sense of honor the Idler protested. "Bother!" Interrupted the Bud. Madeline will be out in a minute. She'll tell us." "Doubtless." The Idler smiled nastily, and the Bud turned sparkling eyes upon him. "Are you daring to insinuate," she asked, belllgerentlj-, "that women are without a sense of honor?" The Idler staggered momentarily at the shock of the impact, and the Timid Man Interposed a conciliatory "Oh, I say ! The Diplomat smiled at the Bud. "Dear young lady," he 6ald, smoothly, "Isn't it too hot for so much beat? And don't we ell know that in women the sense of honor Is a sixth sense?" The Bud whs appeased. "Of course It is. That's all right, then.V The Idler gave an Idle laugh. "What's the matter?" demanded the Bud, suspiciously. "Oh, nothing. Only it was so neat" "Neat?" "Yes. The sixth sense." Then they all saw it except the Bud, and there was a ripple of laughter. "I don't know what you mean," she cried, petulantly. The Idler shrugged his shoulders. "There Isn't a sixth sense, you know," he drawled. "O-oh!" trembled the nipped Bud. The flap of the tent was lifted, and the group fell upon the newcomer. "Oh, Madeline, tell us!" The newcomer looked a little dazed. "My dears, she's uncanny. I've had the time of my life. The things she knows about one!" "Bad or good?" demanded the Second Girl, searchlngly. "Both. Whatever there is to know." "I daren't go In," said the Freckled Girl, decidedly. "You must; she's waiting," they chorused. Think of her as the Yellow Terll it's more impersonal," soothed the Diplomat, as she held the flap up for her. "Who can she be?" marveled the Bud. "It must be some one In our Bet, and yet nobody Is missing. Cnless where's Mrs. IleadJey?" "In the rose garden, flirting with Tony," supplied the Sharp Girl. "Whoever she is, she knows too much," the Idler volunteered. "We haven't all got your stormy past," the Diplomat reminded him, blandly. "Your turn next," some one informed the Second Season Girl. "Oh," shuddered the emerging victim, "It's awful nerve-shattering indescribably grisly. The creature talks In a whisper, too, all the time. The flap fell behind the Second Season Girl, and in the sudden gloom she ttood an Instant irresolute. "Over here, please," whispered the Yellow Witch, and the girl went forward; looking curiously at the seated figure. A yellow cloak, hood and mask were as effectual a disguise as an amateur photographer's tirst snap shot. "Your Lame':" demanded the Yellow Witch. "Oil. but I thought you were going to tell nie things," the g;rl protested, flippantly. Unwillingly her voice sank to a whisper.

"I must ask you not to interrupt Two men who love you one poor, one not poor. Shall I describe to you the one you love?" "If you please," whispered the girl The remark was meant to be ironical, but one cannot whisper ironically, as sne then discovered. "He Is slight and has a fair mus tache, Drown eyes, a pale complexion. and" The Yellow Witch gave two Ineffectual gasps and a convulsed shud der. Then she surrendered to the In evltable and sneezed. The girl leaned forward suddenly. "Summer colds are horrid,' she said. sympathetically. The Yellow Witch Ignored the inter ruption. "A pale complexion and thin lips. That Is the man you love." The girl nodded. "Yes," she said. The Yellow Witch was silent for a moment. "Is there anything else you would like to know?" she asked. j. ue gin rose. coming, 6ne an swered, and gave a little, low laugh "Nothing, thank you John." ,The bent shoulders of the Yellow Witch grew suddenly straight. "You knew all the time?" he asked. The girl shook her head. "Take those things off," she commanded. "I can't talk to a Yellow Witch. He tore tht yellow draperies off Impatiently. "Are you angry with me?" he asked. "Was was it frightful cheek? I wanted so badly to find out which of us it without you knowing. She was silent. ' . Please understand," he explained, anxiously, "I was so afraid that if I asked you, and you said 'No you wouldn't let us even be friends afterwards, like like now, and I couldn't have borne that. So I hit on this way. And and when I described him, and you said 'Yes,' I was prepared, and I didn't show anything, did I? Honor bright, I would never have shown anythiug, only you guessed" She raised her eyes, and with a look swept him Into paradise. "You darling duffer," she said, unsteadily. "John. I must, go! They'll think I've had such a stormy past as as ever was, If I stay any longer. And there are heaps waiting to see the Yellow Witch. Pick up your things and put them on again." "I won't see another person," be protested, violently. She smiled. "Oh, well, then! Wait a minute." She knelt down at the back of the tent and peered cautiously through the inch of space between canvas and ground. "There's not a soul this side. John ; and look, this peg's loose. Pull the rope, and you'll be able to crawl through. That's right. Now go and Join the giddy throng outside. I'll make time for you." She waited an Instant, and then, lifting the flap of the tent door, held the Diplomat In momentary conversation before he went in. Two seconds later he reappeared. "The Yellow Witch Is not?" he announced. "What do you mean? Has she gone?" There was a sudden rush into the tent, and cries of disappointment. "And I know I'd have found out who she was when it was my turn," the Sharp Girl said, regretfully. John Wilde strolled round the corner. "What's all this?" he asked, lazily. Then for a second his eyes met and held those of the Second Season Girl. The Diplomat was noth.ng if not observant. A flicker of intelligence was suddenly lrn In his own eyes. Then It as suddenly went out. "So!" he dropped quietly In Wilde's ears. Wilde gave him a quick glance, and anathematized his own imprudence. "Don't tell," he implored, below his breath. "Now we shall never know who she was," deplored the Freckled Girl. The Diplomat opened his lips. "Oh, you beast, you beast," murmured Wilde, distractedly. "I think I can tell you," the Diplomat remarked, placidly. "Oh, who?" They gathered round him. "The" Yellow Witch," began the Diplomat, "was " He caught the eye of the Second Season Girl and led her by the expression in his own to suppose she had melted him to a lardy clemency. But of course that was rubbish. Being a Diplomat, he had never learned how to tell things only how to conceal them. "Well, she was '' he stumbled, artistically "our old 'friend, the Greeneyed Monster." There was a blan'c silence. The Idler turned away with .1 yawn. "That man." he grumbled to the Freckled Girl as they made for the tent and ices, "would conceal your own name from you if be could. Beastly character." "He knows," acquiescently mused the Freckled Girl. "Of course. But what?" "And how?" she added.

It was precisely on these points that the Diplomat was at that moment gath

ering Information. "You arranged it beforehand?" he asked the Second Season Girl. She shook her head. "I've earned a reward," the Diplomat remjnded her. "Oh, yes! I don't mind your knowingnow. But you tell, John." Wilde looked a little bewildered. "Honor bright I don't quite know. I I did it in order to'fisd out something I wanted to know, only she found me out." The Second Season Girl smiled, and the Diplomat looked at her curiously. "How?" be asked. "Yes; how did you " began Wilde, and broke off, the victim of another violent sneeze. The Second Season Girl laughed happily. "That way," she said, and turnetl her back rather pointedly on the Diplomat. "Nobody does it like you." Pennsylvania Grit. BEHIND IN HUMANE WORK.; Berlin Affords a Fine Model In Up to-Date Ambulance Service. Ambulance service in this country is poor, chiefly because .the need for it does not appeal jiersonally to the average citizen, and there is no general demand upon officials for Its betterment, says Leslie's Weekly. What has been done has been accomplished through the efforts of physicians and humanely Inclined persons of wealth and public spirit. A good example to pattern after Is that of Berlin. A private organization, the Rescue Society, made up largely of surgeons, looks after emergency cses, and does it well. It Is considered an honor to be a member of the society, and only surgeons whe have practiced a number of years arc eligible. Each member takes his turn riding the ambulance, for which he gets no pay. This does away with the reprehensible American practice of In terncs, and others seeking experience, practicing upon street victims. The Bescue society has nine emergency stations, fitted wlthall the facili ties of a fire-engine house for getting out quickly. These Bescue society am bulances are co-operated with by at least one ambulance from each of the sixteen large hospitals. Several times each day the director of the ambulance service Is notified how many empty beds there are at .each reception hospital, thus preventing the compllcatlou that frequently arises in this country of a dying man being taken to a hos pital only to find that there is no place for him. They also have test runs in Berlin. At the pleasure of the director any or all the ambulances are called out unexpectedly, their time noted, and their condition inspected. Berlin is the only city where this practice prevails. A well-maintained ambulance service Increases the demand for attention from the really needy. Berlin, virtually the same size as Chicago, responds to four times as many calls. St. Louis, half as large, has more calls by several thousands than Chicago, owing to the better service and the familiarity of the citizens with it. Persons in city streets are thrilled by the clanging of the ambulance gons and fascinated when the horses gallop by. A feeling of horror is oftentimes followed by one of some comfort at the thought that, in case of accident to himself, one speedily would be taken care of. Iii a majority of Instances this feeling of comfort Is not Justified. If you don't lclieve it, watch some one try to get an ambulance in a hurry. The Left Twin. The survivor of twins is sometime credited with curious powers. In folk lore he takes his place with the sev enth son and with the child born witt a caul. . All these are supposed to have either special powers of healing or Id some cases to be gifted with the mys terious power of second sight. "Ir F.ssex, England," says W. G. Black lu his book on "Folk Medicine," "a child known familiarly as a 'left twin' I. e., a child who has survived its fellow twin is thought to have the power of curing the thrush by blowing three times into the patient's mouth if the patient Is of the opposite sex." This Is folklore, pure and simple. Another country notion generally held Is thai if twins are boy and girl. the latter will never became a mother. The physiology of the subject Is obscure, but there is probably ground for the belief. Another Idea not infrequently met with is that the intelligence of twins is below the average. It Is al ways difficult to prove a negative, bu! It Is very doubtful whether facts support this notion of limited lntelligcnei to any extent whatever. It Is mucfc more probable 'that their physlca strength Is likely to be something less than normal. A Dr-peptlc Ode.

Miss Anabel Wilson, North Branch, Mich., Oct. 20, 1907." FnTvle Combination. To the mind of Mrs. Abigail Jennings there was a sort of disloyalty in admitting to any outsider that a native of Willowby could be really eccentric. As for anything beyond eccentricity, Mrs. Jennings would never have admitted it, even in the case of Miss Rachel Gregg, who was frankly called crazy by the summer visitors. "Now, Mrs, Jennings," said one of the boarders, "do you really mean tbst you've never known Miss Gregg to clo anything that you'd call crazy?"

Fedick, a landscape garSener, florist udC nurseryman, his itarted a series of experiments la veritable growths in the Imperial alley which seems likely to prove valuable, lays the Los Angeles Times. At Erawley one of Fedick's achievements is the growing of cantaloupe rines under muslin canopies so that they will have two or three weeks advantage over the plants grown in t3 ordinary way. These cantaloupes are on a six-acre tract directly adjoining the town of Brawley on the north. The cantaloups are planted la the asual manner, so far as hilling and spacing are concerned, but over each, hill there is stretched a canory of white muslin about the size of a man's pocket handkerchief. Two archjj wires are used, crossed over the melon LIU somewhat like the center ticket in s croquet ground. " The ends of these wires are sewed to the corners of the muslin squares and the wires are thea thrust firmly Into the ground so as te secure the caiopies and prevent the wind blowing them away. Mr. Fedic estimates that these protectors will cost complete about 8 cents each. The melons have responded to the genial warmth thus engendered and the protection from the winds and frost. The plants j; are now on an average of two inches high and look strong and thrifty. If the plan proves all that Is hoped for it next year it will be tried on a large scale on the Fedick ranck near Holrvllle. At the Brawley experimental gardens there are six acres of melons, and of these 870 hills have tea. covered with the canopies. A Little Skr.
