Where Woman’s Time Goes.

, ••please state to the court exactly what you did between 8 and 9 o’clock on Wednesday morning,” said a lawyer to a delicate-looking woman on the witness stand. “Well,” she sald/after a moment's reflection, “I washed my two children and got ready for school and sewed a button on Johnny’s coat, and mended a rent jp Nellie’s dress. Then I tidied up my sitting room and made two beds and watered my house plants, and glanced ovet the morning paper. Then I dusted my parlor and set things to rights in it, and washed some lamp chimneys and combed my baby’s hair, and sewed a button on one of her little shoes, and then I swept out my front entry and brushed and put away the. children's Sunday clothes, and wrote a note to Jimmy’s teacher asking her to excuse him for not being at school on Friday- Theta I fed my canary bird and gave the grocery man an order, and swept off the back porch, and then I sat down and rested a few minutes before the clock struck 9. That’s all.” “All!” said .the dazed lawyer. “Excuse me, judge; I must get my breath before I . call the next witness.”

Ayer’s Argument. If there is any reason why you should use any sarsaparilla, there is every reason why you should use Ayer’s. When you take sarsaparilla you take it to cure disease ; you want to be cured as quickly as possible and as cheaply as possible. That is why you should use Ayer’s: it cures quickly and cheaply—axid.it cures to stay. Many people write us : “I would sooner have one bottle of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla than three of any other kind.” A druggist writes that “ one bottle of Ayer’s will give more benefit than si?c of any other kind.” If one bottle of Ayer’s will do the work of three it must have the strength of three at the cost of one. There’s the point iu a nutshell. It pays every way to use Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.

This Cowboy Is a Girl.

Jessie Findley is the chgifjpjon girl cowboy of the West. only 17 years old, but as a liorsejbreaker she has no rivals among her own sex, and but few among the sterner sex. She is a product of Oklahoina. She has lived an outdoor life always, and the broncho does not buck that she fears to tackle. ' . On one occasion she rode 250 mile? in five days, and wore put the men who accompanied her. At another time she

rode her pony into the North Canadian River when it was bank fuilfiind swani across. Not one of her male companions dared, to follow her lead. She has great success in taming bucking ponies which male riders can do nothing with. She seems to have a hypnotic influence over them they can not resist. Although possessing ail the reckless daring of the cowboy. Miss Findley takes delight in tlie feminine fancies natural to a girl of her age, dresses tastily, and is not averse to frills and pretty ribbons. ■

The Towns Were Rivals.

“Interested in a trolley company?” asked a stranger in a little interior town of a man who had been expatiating upon Its merits. “Not a cent's worth,” replied the advocate of the overhead wire. “Live here?” asked the strauger next. “Not on your life. I wouldn't live here if you would give me the whole town.” "But you're working mighty hard for something. What Is it?” The trollpy advocate looked around to see that no one was in hearjug distance, and then drew the stranger up iu the shadow of a building. "Ell tell you how it is if you'll keep mum,” he said. The stranger proniis'eded. ... “I’m employed by a rival town to get the trolley here.

TOPICS FOR FARMEES

■—’ <, • A DEPARTMENT PREPARED FOR OUR RURAL FRIENDS. Unfavorable Condition of Affairs in the Farmins Industry Is Reported— Dirty Kgifs Will Not Keep—Value of the Harrow as a Cultivator. Condition of the Farmers. Tile statistical report of the departement' of agriculture indicates 'ai rather unfavorable condition of affairs in the farming industry. The exhibit shows the number of head of live stock In Jan. 1, 1895, and again on the Corresponding date of the present year. Every kind of live stock shows a very marked decrease during the year. As between the two exhibits there is a decrease of 4.S per cent, in (lie number of horses, 2.3 per cent. Fn mules, 2.2 per cent, in milch cows, CM per cent, in o\en And other cattle, 9.4 -per cent, in sheep aud 3 per cent, in swine. nr T a decrease of over- 28 per cenMinthe number of live stock in the country in a single year. With' the exception of horses and mates the stock nanieil is all in farmers’ hands, and constitutes not only a very considerable part of their wealth, but is one of their chief means of accumulating property, while they are important in maintaining the fertility of the soil and the production of the farm. Not only does the report show a decrease in*the nutajmr of animals, but a shrinkage in the value-of all except cattle and sjieep, which Average a little, but not mheb, higher. As a rule, surplus of grain, such as there has been in the north western States the last year, makes the price of stock firm, because it is more profitable to feed grain to stock than to sell it at the low prices that abundant harvests generally create. But the indications are that owing to hard times and low prices of grain farmers have had to dispose of such commodities as eould bb most readily exchanged for money to enable'them to pay their debts aud ta'xes. ; 'The showing of the department does not give :r very flattering indication of_agricultural -prosperity,, and without prosperity among farmers and producers there can be no very stable condition of business generally. Dirty EgKB Will Not Keep. lu layiyg down eggs for winter use care should be taken to see that they are perfectly dean. The shell is porous and the odors of any tilth attached—to it quickly peiu-trate to the interior and begin the process of decomposition. It is impossible to keep eggs many months and have them exactly like fresh eggs. The evaporation from the egg robs its of moisture, though this is largely prevented by immersing the egg in lime vvate.r. But all water except that which, has beeh just boiled contains some air. Packing eggs 'in salt will keep them for a short time, and is the easiest and cheapest way for keeping for home use.

Don't Spare the HarroW. The progressive farmer now does most of his cultivating of what used to be hoed crops with the harrow. He harrows before planting and after planting, before and after the crop is up, and keeps harrowing until the cultivator is called in because the harrow can't reach the ground on lyeount of the big growth of the crop. Such use of the harrow would have seared a conservative farmer out of his wits a fe\V years ago, but it means dean Helds and good crops at the minimum cost of labor. Black vs. White Oats. There is a popular prejudice against black oats in this country, owing to a belief that they are more chaffy, and their chaff is harsher than that of the white oat. This is not true, however, of all kinds. We have seen white oats that would weigh within u few pounds as much per bushel as barley, and whose husk was almost as hard as a barley beard. It is the kind of_husk, rather than its color, that the purchaser of oats should look to. It is not a good plan to feed oats unground, especially If they are of the rough, bearded kind. The ground oat will be digested better, and in any eveirf its husk will lie so broken up lu grinding that it will aid perfect digestion, instead of preventing it, as white oats often do. CroesinK Brahmas and Leghorns. The first cross of Brahmas and Leghorns makes a very desirable fowl for farmers' use. They are good layers and are more hardy than the pure Leghorns and also better for the table. But the cross must not be interbred or it will, inherit the poor points of botli strains. The roosters should always be pure-bred fowls, either of the Brahma or Leghorn, according as which style of fowl is best adapted to the breeder's aims. Where there is poor range and I’estricted quarters the Brahma fowls will do Leghorns are an active breed, aud wi|l not dto well when closely confined. Cleaning Land with Buckwheat. Tile quick growth of buck wheat, and Its broad leaf completely shading the ground, tits it to suppress most of the annual weeds. It leas even been said to kill the Canada thistle, but this Is more probably due>fo plowing the thistle* under in .Hine as preparation for the buckwheat than the crop wliich-foMow-ed. But there is a better reason for tlie~ belief that gi-owing buck\ylieat' clears the land of wire Worms and insects that destroy vegetation. There is no insect, that wil eat either the root or stalk of buckwheat, ami sowing it on any piece of laud for two years will kill the wire worms by nothing for them to eat. The Time to Plow Orchards. “Plow before the leaves are out” is the advice generally given by our agricultural exchanges. That is all well enough for trees that are Jn full bearlug and past their prime. Hueli trees need all the vitality they can eomand to pt'rfect their crops. Plowing while the tree is dormant does riot seriously injure it if the plow is, not run deeply ueiir the tree. Tlte cutting off of small roots is easily replaced when the growing season begins. But if the foots ate cut badly after the leaves are out the tree cannot supply sap as fast as the leavcm exhale it, aud'there 11 a consequent check lu growth. This is for young trees that are making too much

wood growth is just whaf is needed, it ( used to be said by,farmers that die buckwheat crop was the best for young orchards. The plowing for that is done in midsummer, and one or two years ot such treatment will always Induce the formation Of fruit buds, and bring the free into bearing. This habit of fruit bearing once formed is continued, unless insects or blight cause the fruit to fail after it is set, and the blight is very largely prevented by liberal use of mineral fiianures. Turnips Arc Exliansttv«».i Turnips are often sown on label "that has borne a ci’op o* corn or potatoes with the Idea that they will grow after frost has killed the main crop, and that thus some profit may be got without cost. But this overlooks the fact that tnniips are a very exhaustive crop, especially of phosphate. In England phosphate, isjjiainly used in growing .turnips which are fed off by sheep, and their plant food is thus returned to the soil almost immediately. In (this way the land is put in good condition ,fer a wheat crop. Here where the turnip crops is always removed, itsi effect is to make the soif poorer for the crop that followS.it. Feed for Moulting Hens. The h£ji that begins to moult is usually fat/ She has stored up flesh for the puiqiose of maintaining her vigor while producing a new coat of feathers. No fat-forming food should be given the moulting hen, as she uses up part of the fat on her body. Instead she should have plenty of nutritious food. There is none better than whole wheat for this purpose, with occasional variations of ground or sliced bdiiij. By hastening the moulting the be gqt lb laying before weather. If they don’t the moulting will probably continue all winter,’ and the egg production will only when eggs are low in price. Shrunken Wheat for Poultry. 'Die very best use of shrunken wheat, some of which will be found in every crop, is-as food for poultry. The grain being shrunken, is deficient in starch, but it has all the greater proportion of gluten, which is the chief element of the egg, while the. outside husks or bran is rich in phosphate, which helps to make the egg shell. The poultry dealer can usually buy shrunken, wheat at a lower price than the perfect grain, while for feeding fowl it is really better for being shrunken. Ke-p Only Good Cows. Good judges of cows are careful of the expenditure. They are economical, and pay a fair price for a choice animal rather than to incur the extravagance of . feeding one That does noTpay. The rule now among experienced dairymen is to keep no cow that will not produce at least three hundred pounds of butter a year. Such a cow may cost more than the average sum usually paid, but she will give more profit in one year than some cows will iu twice that’ period of time.

Honey from Aleikc Clover. Farmers should keep more bees than they <jo. jf they did Alsike clover would be more sown. It the advantage of the common red clover, ihat its honey is within reach of the common bee. It makes a light honey quite as good as from the white clover, and there is never any frtilure-to blossom, asTHdre often Is witlr white clover in time of drought. By cutting some of the alsike before it comes into blossom the time when it blooms may be protracted and thus make the hyneyproducing season longer. An Irrigation Hint. If windmill, irrigation or pond irrigation or any other kind of Irrigation can ever be made to answer the” purpose of giving a small tract of ground on every.farm a good soaking just iu the nick of time between tardy showers in July or August, there can be no question but that even so small a piece of individual enterprise as this would prove of vast public good. Cut Out the Knots. At a recent New York horticultural meeting Prof. Lodeman explained that the black knots of plum and cherry trees produce two crops of spores, one in January and February, and another early in the summer. After that the old knots are harmless. Spraying with Bordeaux mixture is a safe remedy, but the knots should be cut out in the fall and also jn the spring. Farm Notes. Professor Crozier, of Michigan station, after a careful study of the subject, especially recommends broom corn millet for poor soils. It Is inferior to many other crops on good soils, but seems especially. suited to poor soils. It stands drought well. It is the labor that Is the most expensive item on a farm. It l s much cheaper to have a good man at high wages, who can handle the maximum number of iows. than to have a cheap man who can do only half as mueU work. A good farm hand who understands his business saves time aud labor, ‘ If you desire a full matted row of strawberries next spring, work the plants In the row with a hoe, so as to kill the weeds and grass, and then go deep on each side with a cultivato*-. applying fertilizer liberally, so as to have tlie plant food ready for the runners that may be scut out, by' tb,e parent vines. The temperature of the soil regulates, tlie growth of the crops. 'Die farmer ennuot regulate ther-temperature of the atmosphere, but lie can influence that of tlie soil by cultivation. The entrance of air carries warmth and reduces the water in the soil, thus preparing the plant food for use by the roots of the plants. Gooseberries and currants are tlie most neglected of all fruits, receiving but little cultivation, yet they pay well when made specialties. The bushes need careful protection from weeds aud grass, aud should r<>cetve au abundance of manure or fertilizer. which will induce them to produce more and better fruit. If a burdock, at any stage of growth, Is cut below thq surface of the ground and a handful of salt on the cut surface it completely destroys ir. 'Die moisture from the cut dissolves tlie s:Ot, and this,-in turn, helps to rot the root, so that no sprout from It is possible. The earlier this is done’lhe less trouble It will be to cut the root below the surface

GOOD ROADS

Way to Get Good Roads. Batavia (N. Y.) taxpayers are greatly pleased with the experiments made in roadmaking with a steam road roller. It is found that the machine will put in the best of condition 500 feet of roadway in a day at a cost of $9.53. In pg other w.ay-can dirtrOT macadamized streets of a city or village be kept in gooi- condition so cheaply. Every small city and village ought to have a road roller. No investment Can be made that will pay larger dividends than good roads. Better Roads. Whether public sentiment ever become powerful enough to compel the adoption of sensible methods in tho construction of permanent country roads, the improvements in the machinery for road making have certainly made the construction of good roads possible at a less cost than at any former period. In the old time the broken stone spread upon a macadamized road was usually avoided by those driving over it during dry weather, the clay or gravel sides of the roadway being preferred. The broken stone would be worn down to a smooth track only when the wet weather of the fall and winter made the sides of the roadbed impassable. <” The invention of the steam stone crusher and the ponderous steam roller has changed all this. The stone is now crushed at the quarry at a much cheaper nite than it could be done by the old■fasirioned method of-breaking it wtthhand hammers. When it is spread upon the roadway the heavy steam rollers do in a single day the work of many days and thousands of heavily loaded wagons under the old system. The erushed stone is rolled and compacted into a solid mass at once, and, with a top layer of finer stone, the surface is rolled as smooth as thatol' agravelroadin dry weather. Under the modern system, the macadamized road becomes a model driveway, so far as the surface Is concerned, as soon as it is completed, and for stability has no equal, The®illustrations of the ease and comparative cheapness with Which good roads can now be constructed, which are furnished in the-suburbs of every large eity, should be sufficient to serve as object lessons for all the country. A good stdne quarry can be.opened in any township in any.county in this commonwealth, a steam stone crusher at c the quarry will furnish an unlimited amount of the best material fora solid roadbed, and a heavy steam roller will complete the work, if properly handled. Tn plain Terms, good, mibstantfaT roads are possible in all sections of the commonwealth, and if once constructed, would be found to be cheaper In the long run than the existing country highways which are a succession of quagmires a part of the year, inches deep in dust the rest of the time and good roads never. To secure, good roads constructed upon sound principles It is necessary first that the present patchwork system of keeping roads in repair by scraping clay from the gutters into the canter ofthe roadway to be returned to the gutters again by the combined action of rain, frost and heavy travel shall be abandoned as an ,utter waste of work and money. The next essential is that the most important highways be selected first for permanent improvement, and that each highway so selected shall be completely macadamized within township or county lines before another Is attempted. One highway in a township improved after this manner would work a revolution In our entire system of road making, and lead to the utter abandonment of the cheap and nasty roads that now disgrace our State and nearly every other State In the Union.— Philadelphia Times.

Street Cars in Naples.

“I was in- Naples last summer when the first electric street ear was put In operation, nnd was stoned by the populace,” said Dr. W. O. Terry, of Sacramento, Cal., at the Arlington. Dr. Terry has been in Europe for two years, mostly In Germany, pursuing a surgical course, and is how going home to practice his profession. ‘The new style of street cars,” he' continued, “give great offense to the Neapolitans, simply because they were an Innovation. The people over there resent every thing that is new, regardless of merit. Naples is one of the toughest places in Christendom, anyway. It is a rare thing in that town to‘meet with any one who seems to recognize the bath as an Institution of civilization. Men. women and children revel In dirt, particularly the latter. Boys and girls of ten years are often seen iii public without a single garment to bide their nudity. The ordinary refreshments of lite, as practiced in America, are unknown there. The public conveyances are crowded with passengers so redolent of garlic that it is often preferable to get out and walk. Doubtless everybody eats garlic in order to keep from being overcome with its odoriferous scent, as a matter of protection. "But worst of all in Italy is the terrible drain of taxation and the corruption on the part of men in high official position.
