omens TT SSE II —Lyman A. Budlong, said to have been the most extensive grower of truck in the world, who died recently at his home in Chicago, left an estate of nearly $2,000.- 000. Practically all his family are en- gaged in the same line of work. —There were shipped from a single station of New Jersey, 480 carloads of sweet potatoes. It is estimated that the total crop of South Jersey will aggregate 4000 carloads—total value $1,200,000. This is an increase of 240,000 barrels over last year. —The United States, though blessed with the most fertile soil and favorable climate in the world, produces an annual average yield of less than 14 bushels of wheat acre, while England Proguces more 32, Germany 28 and the Neth- | erlands 34. —Trees and shrubs heeled in for win- ter should he heavily mulched and com- pletely covered with straw or cornstalks during the coldest part of winter to pre- vent them from drying out. The soil about the roots should not be allowed to freeze deeply. —New plants of named varieties can be started in winter from cutti of a number of hardwood trees, shrubs and vines, such as the grape, To ivaeanges, privet, rose, poplar an willow. cuttings, however, must be made before the buds have been injured by freezing. —The quieter and more comfortable a young animal can be kept, with good feed, the faster it will grow. Calves like to lie and sleep in warm, sunny places. By pro- viding them with such quarters they will sleep and turn their feeds to more profit than when confined in cold and uncom- fortable quarters. . —It is all right to sprinkle hay and and other dry cow feeds with salt or salty water, but it is not a goed plan to mix salt with ground feeds. An overdose of salt with a cow impairs the digestive or- gans, acting as a poison. Rock salt in the mangers and lots is good Granulaied, coarse salt should be kept in a box under the cover of a shed where the cows can jick it at any time they may wish. A lit- tle salt every day is what they need. —The cellar or other similar room in which vegetables and fruits, either n or canned, are stored for winter should have the windows open onmild days for ventilation and for lowering the tempera- ture of the room for chilling the store. The cooler they are held, without freez- ing, the better they will keep. Bacteria which cause fermentation and decay can- not grow and multiply in low temperature. Dry cold will always hold them in check. —Cows, above all other animals, are averse to drinking cold water. Many cows will go without water for two or three days before drinking out of a pond, stream or vessel containing ice. The drinking of plenty of water is necessary to a full flow of milk, and it pays to fur- nish cows with water warm enough so that they will drink all they need. It will pay to heat the water on the kitchen range and carry it to them, rather than have them go without. —While the milch cows are on dry feed the digestive organs do not work so freely 28 3 when they are on green feed. To keep ir digestive ns in good tone the bowels De loose, feed some oil meal daily. The oil meal not only main- tains the digestive organsin good work- ing, but itis one of the best milk-pro- ducing fceds, being highly nitrogenous. Musty and bad feeds of any kind are not good cow feeds. They are not only poor in nutrients, but dangerous to health. —Salt is necessary to the health and thrift of domestic animals; and they should have it in winter as well as in summer. They need more of it. proba- bly, during the period of abundant succu- lent feed, but the animal system requires more or less of it all the time. A good plan is to keep salt in sheltered boxes where the stock can get at it atwill. This is a safeguard against neglect, and being accustomed to it at pleasure, there is no danger that too much will be taken. —Sod land is very good for almost all crops if the season is reasonably wet and other conditions are favorable. One of the worst troubles with corn in sod land is that the cutworms living in the sod de- stroy much of the young corn. By plow- ing sod land for corn in late fall or early winter many of the cutworms will be de- stroyed. Also, when the land is plowed at this time the sod will have more time to settle and decay, and the corn next season will stand dry weather better. If the sod must be plowed again next spring, no harm, but much good, will be done. Plowing any land twice for a crop, or disc- ding well after plowing is labor well spent. —-A sudden change from green foods to those which contain a small percentage | 4 of water frequently results in a derange- ment of the bladder or kidneys. Man times the urine becomes thick and turbid, and it is very difficult for the animal to urinate. If the trouble is allowed to con- tinue for a very long period death may result. Any of the following remedies may be administered with excellent re- sults: Juniper berries, four ounces;boili water, one galion. Let stand in a cove vessel for an hour and then strain. Give one pint three times each day till the ani- mal is relieved. Another remedy may be provided without the aid of drugs. Mix one part of sli elm bark with two parts poplar and make a strong tea from the mixture. Sweeter with Sagas ou molasses and give a pint every ours. _—The Ohio Experiment Station be- lieves that it is a good plan for the farm- er to learn something of a man’s reputa- on Hhongh | his sighhorhiond before trees im. possible, go i jhe season and examine ih If an order is given, specify that the trees must be of own growing and that there must be no substituting.

DAILY THOUGHT. If you've anything good to say of a man, Don't wait till he's laid to rest, For the eulogy spoken when hearts are broken Is an empty thing at best. Ah! the blightest flower now drooping lonely Would perfume the mountain side If the sun's glad ray had but shone today And the pretty bud espied, “Heart Throbs,” in—National Magazine. "The origin of the safety pin,” said an historian of inventions, “was a little boy, an English blacksmith’s son.” “The little boy—Harrison by name— had to look after his baby brother. The baby often cried, and its tears were usu- ally traced to punctures. The boy nurse tried a long time to bend pins into such form that they could be used with safety to his brother's flesh. “In this he failed; but his father, the blacksmith, perceiving the utility of the idea the lad had been at work on, took it up on his own account and event- ually turned out the safety pin that is in pee today all over the world."—Home otes, There is something fascinating in a scented handkerchief, when some elusive and faint odor is used. Handkerchiefs should never be perfumed heavily. The faint and delicate odors are very hard to obtain, and one of the best ways to get the results with handkerchiefs is to put a small piece of orris root in the ‘water in which the handkerchiefs and fine liffgerie ties are boiled. This gives the faint odor and does away with the heavy perfume smell. A large piece of orris root can be placed in the water in which delicate underwear is being washed.

Stir in a quarter cake of compressed yeast, dissolved in a uarter cup lukewarm water, and a pint of our, and beat well. Visiting cards on which “Mr. and Mrs.” ise ved have come prominently into use this season. For several seasons they were rarely seen except when accompany- ing gifts and even then separate cards from the man and woman were more of- ten used. But now the double card has its place in every card case, though cus- tom has not yet entirely decided the de- tail of its use. In paying visits a married woman, call- ing upon another who is married, may leave one of the Mr. and Mrs. cards, and then a single one of the man’s, the sepa- rate card being for the’ husband of the hostess. But many smart women are of the opinion that two cards of such ex- tremely different size do not look well together, and so when more of the man's than of the wife's are to be left, they cling to those entirely separate, using their “Mrs.” and two of the "Mr." Never- theless, good form sanctions the other method. When a married woman calls upon a single woman, be she spinster or widow, she is expected to leave just one of the double card. This is far smarter than hers and her husband's separately. In sending presents of any kind, even flowers, if they go from a married woman the double card is used. It is correct to write a line of good wishes on condolence, if one desires, but it is not altogether ele- gant, the theory being that, should one wish to say anything, a note must be written, as a card is to bear the name only. . In size the double cards are appreciably larger than even the extreme varieties for a married woman. The same type is used, the preference being for old English or block, the name to be written in full, initials being incorrect. Rather heavier pasteboard is used than was in vogue several years ago. but it could not by any chance be called thick. A cream is preferred to an ivory tone. Addresses, including the number, are written in full, figures being regarded as an abbreviation. Instead of wearing pure white gloves in the afternoon, the fashionable woman is inclining toward a delicate pear! shade or pale apricot and tan colorings. She is choosing for motor wear the “chevrette” of elbow length, with a strap at the wrist to pull the leather together. This is generally lined with fur or wool. Women find it hard to approve of the sharp dividing line between long sleeves and short gloves, and are wearing with afternoon toilettes longer shapes, which pass in wrinkled fulness over the cuffs. Gloves of two-button length are worn with coat suits. The buttons are very large and are made of mother-of-pearl. For driving mocha gloves in pale color- ings, which, strange to say, wear much better than the dark ones, are popular. Of course, the evening gloves are vir- tually the same. Long white glace, with occasionally a decoration to carry out the scheme of the gown, are worn. By their gloves you will know the well- women. By way of a collar protector there is a soft fold of silk worn within the neck of the coat, and never were they more nec- essary than today. The cl coat can- not be allowed to rub against the delicate lace and not of the modern yoke; no more is it advisable to allow the harsh gilt thread of the metallic laces to wear away the broadcloth of the coat collar. A'bias of silk is folded together and slipstitched; its ends are drawn to a nt and fi with ball or tassel. is is basted along the inside of the coat collar as far as the shoulder seam, so that it may be always in place at the back and may be crossed in front at the dis- cretion of the wearer. Its ends hang to the waist line, and when the coat is opened fall gracefully, contributing to a decorative scheme if the color be chosen with the costume in view. Some of the French brocades may be thus utilized. : Huge muffs fornied of two kinds of ma- terial are proving an immense boon to women who possess out-of-date furs too good to be thrown away. Two kinds of fur may be combined. a a satin caracul, or any ve a cheaper fur will raise last s collar or in to a higher plane of fashionable Bird that Never Flies. The ostrich, because of its resemblance to the camel, has been said to be the con- necting link between beasts and birds. There is a honry excrescence on the breast of both the dr and the os- trich, on which they lean while resting; they have similarly formed feet; the same muscular neck; their food is much the same, and both can go an incredibly long time without water. Morever an ostrich never flies, nor is it possible for it to lift itseli from the ground in the slightest degree by the use of its wings; but like the camel it is very swift-footed. In its native country the shells of the eggs afford almost the onl household utensils used. An egg will weigh from three to four pounds and is equal to two dozen hen's eggs. It re- quires thirty-five minutes to boil one, and longer if required hard. A fresh egg is worth twenty-five dollars. The k r of an ostrich farm says the birds are the only thing he ever tried that he has not s in tami are known to live to be seventy-five years old, and some think they will reach a hundred. They are about eight feet in height. Their hearing and sight are very acute, and these seem to be about all the sense they are blessed with. Their legs are very powerful, and are the only wea- pon of defense; when they attack an en- emy they do so by kicking, but always strike forward and never backward. The choice “ostrich feathers” are found only in the wings; the undressed feath- ers vary in price, having been as low as twenty-five dollars per pound and as high as three hundred dollars, and there are from seventy to ninety feathers in a pound. A single bird rarely furnishes more than a dozen fine feathers; and the birds themselves, if fine ones, are valued at one thousand dollars per pair. The Muskrat as a Delicacy. The trapping of muskrats is the means of livelihood for a great many persons in this country, and the eastern shore of Chesapeake Bay, in the State of Mary- land, is probably the most fertile field for that industry. In that section alone the sale of skins this season will amount to nearly $500,000. But the pelt is not the only value connected with the taking of the muskrat, because it is frequently used for food. Practically every restau- rant on the Maryland peninsula serves muskrat when in season, and it is a fa- vorite dish at midnight suppers. The majority of persons are disgusted by the mere thoughtof eating muskrat, but undoubtedly this is due to the preju- dice against the name of rat. However, they are greatly mistaken in disliking this rodent, for it is one of the cleanest of living animals, and is deicious when prop- erly cooked. he muskrat’s home is built of marsh grass heaped into a mound and situated above the level of high-water. This house is dry and warm and the interior is al- ways spotless clean. Feeding entirely upon tender roots and herbs, this pecul- iar little animal invariably scrubs thor- oughly in the water every bit of food be- fore it is eaten. A young mother living in New York, recently drowned herself in agony at the discovery that she was a consumptive and had trasmitted to heridolized boy the seeds of consumption. When the doc- tors told her the chiid was diseased she caught him in her arms and they died together. Consumption is not hereditary. Consumption has cured,a fact which the lungs show the healed scars of tuber- culosis. Hope should never be taken from the consumptive. It is a certain thing that people with obstinate cough, bronchitis, bleeding at the lungs, weak- ness and emaciation, conditions which if neglected or unskilfully treated terminate in consumption, have been perfectly and permanently cured by the use of Dr. ierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. ——*“Are we slaves or are we free men?” thundered the orator. “I pause for a reply.” “Some of us are married,” came the answer from the last row of seats.

D. Matt ETRE ed at the great number of sod houses which are scattered throughout the prairie farming district. These do not occur in the vicinity of the towns, but are out abont ten milesor more. One might sup- pose that such rude structures were the result of poverty. On the contrary, the sod houses denote advancing prosperity. When the homesteader takes up a sec- tion of that wonderful wheat land in western Canada he plants his crop at the earliest possible moment in order that he may not miss a harvest. Often he is oc- cupied to such an extent with these i cultural operations that he neglects his dwelling-house and hurriedly throws to- gether a rude makeshift of sod. Even though it were desired to erect a frame- house this could be done only with great difficulty because of the scarcity of lum- ber. Itis far better to live in temporary uarters until the railroad pushes out into They | that territory and brings the comforts of houses civilization. However, these sod are by no means uncomfortable, for they are wonderfully cool in summer and corre- spondingly warm in winter. ——Do you know we have the old style sugar syrdps, pure goods at 40 cents and 60 cents per gallon, Sechler & Co. ——Muggins is not handsome, and he knows it.
