Stnud against the shoulder ami throw the right arm over the cow; lean forward nnd milk with the left hand. The cow cannot reach the milker, and If he treats her kindly ami pays no attention to the kicking she will sooti get over It. The main tiling is to stick to the milking until It U done. Una tho Feed Cutter. ' All animals on the farm prefer foods that may not be relished by some oth ers. The farmer should take advan tage of this fact' and utilize all the materials that might be wasted If there were not some animals that would accept them. A judicious use of the feed cutter, mixing a little bran or meal with tho cut food, and tempt ing the animals with a uriety, will render serviceable even such food as wheat straw. There are several modes of serving com fodder that will make It acceptable to dainty unlmalj. A Syphon From the Well. Most farm houses should have a pipe from the well to the kitchen sink, sav ing an enormous amount of work. If the well Is on h'glier "round than the house the water will syphon Into the cellar, requiring almost no effort to pump It up the few remaining feet. It Is a shame to carry water year af ter year from the well to the house when the water will run In itself. It is more Important to save labor In house work than elsewhere on tho farm, for there Is less of strength in doors. New York Tribune. Law and Heci. ' The law lu regard to bees Is thus laid down by a writer In the Farmer's Tribune, we know cot; how correctly, but his statements seem reasonable nnd to be founded on equity. A swarm of liees leaving a hive and not lost sight of may be claimed by tho own er, but he has no right to commit dam ages to the property of another to get them or to cut u tree or even a branch ,o hive them. A swartn of bees upon a tree, or even seen Hying through the nir, may be claimed by the finder if the original owner Is not known or does not follow them up, but they must be kept in sight by the claimant. A swarm of bees wild In a tree belongs to the finder. If he marks his name on the tree, before It can be cut or In any way dumaged to secure the bees or the honey, yet tho owner of the tree Is not supposed to own either bees or honey if they have been previously found and claimed by another party. Thus some friendly agreement Is best policy for lioth parties, lest they get tho Ugs and tho lawyers have the honey. lugcnlou Hay Stacker. A patent has recently been Issued to a Montana man which provides a hoisting device to be used as a hay stacker, derrick and the like. The device consists of a huso constructed in adjustable sections locked together by a key which Is Inserted In one xf three recesses formed In the sections In sockets at the ends of the base see Hons side sections having bull cuds ure received. Thus universal Joints aro produced. Tho side sections are com posed of sliding members, the upper of which aro raised by a ratchet drum and rope. Forked guy ropes support the side sections, corresponding mem bers of the forked portions of tho guy ropes being connected at the same side of the side members and adjacent to each other. A pulley Is suspended be tween tho upper members of the side sectlous, and over tho pulley a hoist rope la carried. Tho end", of tho hoist rope, If It be so desired, may be con nected with a sling, a platform or with any device necessary Iu hoisting mate rial of different kinds. The device Is described in the Scientific American, from which the Illustration Is repro duced. Treatment of Orerrlcli Soil, I'crhaps you aro killing your soil with kindness. Old gurdens that havo been superabundantly fed with ma nure year after year, often behave In un unsatisfactory manner. The soil has become as rich as a manure heap Itself, and Is apparently In tho best condition for the production of inaxl mum crops of any kind of vegetables. Yet tho old stand-bys will not do as well as Ihoy used to do, and even skill fid cultivation cannot prevent their often turning out complete failures. Wo havo hud such complaints fro- DERRICK WITH HAY FOBS. I'WBon, .. npnk,v HDimtch oulio la" I "i not Cure indigest1ov?- mado total wreck. Trout's drug sick," but It is not quite ptatn tfhat exact condition should be understood by that term. We Incline to the belief that tho cause of the trouble Is to bo found In the fact that the soil has be como corrupt with fungi, and perhaps Insect enemies. The fermentation of organic matter In such soil is unusu ally favorable to tho generation and propagation of lower form of life, the parasitic nature of which will not give much ehanco for the development of tho higher forms on which they feed. So much for theory. Vhat we would do In practice Is to give the soil a thorough change In feed and treat ment, withhold barnyard manure or any other organic fertilizer entirely, and porhnps change the crops for a few years. To dispose of Injurious fungi aud lusects we would make lib eral applications of air-slacked lime, or the refuse of lime kilns, and perhaps try a light sprinkling of sulphate of Iron (green copperas) well pulverized. If nitrogenous manure were thought necessary for any crop we would use only nltrale of soda, nnd In any case would only grow those crops for a year or two that have seemed to be least affected by the unfavorably .coil conditions. The Epltomlst. Aa Experience With TVInlor Lambs. Much attention Is necessary to raise lambs successfully for the winter nnd early spring trade. In the Urst place Secure ewes of a good lamb producing strain, preferably belonging to one of the mutton breeds. There Is some dif- culty In having the lambs como ut the right time. They should bo dropped from the beginning of October to the middle of November. This gives them nu opportunity to get it start before very cold weather sets In. The ewes nlso give milk much more freely thau than later. If the weather Is fine tha lambs mny be allowed to run In the yard or pasture a few hours every day. If sonic green feed such as rye. vane or mustard can be provided they will do well. The lambs must not be al lowed to .remain out In cold or wet weather. The owe.? should be provided with an unlimited supply of good feed, espe cially when conllped to the barn. Si lage and clover hay with an occasion al feed of shredded cornstalks should comprise the roughugo. As a grain ra tion use a mixture of linseed and cot tonseed meal, with whole or cracked corn and bran. Oats ore fine feed, but as a rule are too high in price In this part of the country. I like a basement bnrn with a south ern exposure for sheep. This can be kept at an even temperature, but must be well ventilated und free from drafts, with a thoroughly dry floor. Tho floor must be well bedded and kept perfectly clean. The ewes should be divided Into small lots of not moro than twenty, so they will not crowd at the trough. They should also have plenty of trough and rack room. Those with twins should be placed In a separate Inclosure, as they will re quire more feed than the others. Tho lambs should have u separate pen where they can go to be fed, and should be given corn, linseed meal, cornmenl nnd beans, with plenty of good clover hay. Sheep should always have plenty of water and salt:. It Is best to have this where they can get at It nt any time. Winter lambs require a great deal of attention, and unless this can be given do not attempt to raise them. How ever, they usually sell for high prices and fully pTiy for ull the effort expend ed.

The American npple crop Is rapidly becoming the leading crop of tho Uni ted States so fnr as actual returns are concerned, and our exports of these fruits are growing larger nud more valuable every year. No grain or other farm product Is more generally or more widely cultivated than the apple. This fruit Is by nil odds our national fruit. It is raised from Mulno to Florida now, and from the Atlantic to the FaclAc. It Is eaten in every American home almost the year round, nnd Euglund aud Germany uro rapidly imitating us In the matter of consumption. Our apples sell better In tho European markets thau uny of tho continental fruits, and the prices thus obtained help to swell the returns to our farmers on lauds where wheat and corn fail through' drought, or where these cereals cannot be raised successfully. The question of Improving the qttul Ity of our apples, and Increasing the yield, Is ono that more farmers are actually Interested in thau that of Im proving corn or wheat. Injury to the apple crop may not cause such ruinous disaster to some few States as corn or wheat, but It will reach a wider num ber of farmers In the whole country. One of the perplexing quostlous lu tip ple growing Is tho dropping off of fruits when very small or half grown. The waste of apples from this cause alone Is enormous. Spraying will not stop the loss, for the cause seems to be deeper than tho attacks of Insects and blights. There Is a theory that the blossoms aro not properly fertilized, and that tho fruit caunot consequently ever reach maturity. Tho apples are doomed to full off when half grown and be wasted. tSome experiments have been made recently thut help to confirm this theory. In a large orchard where the dropping off was a serious handicap to successful apple raising' the attempt was mado to prove or dis prove this theory. Klght In the midst of the orchurd, which was of .fifty acres, a score of beehives were located. The bees literally swurmed In the or chard at blooming time, and tho In sects buzzed around tho blossoms In swarms. There was little more done to the orchurd other than that of or dinary spraying. That year tho fruit yield was from ten to twenty per cent, higher thau common. The second anil third year the same practice wus kept up, and the Increase wus even more apparent. In thut orchard, at least, the apple trees were apparently helped by tho presence of tho bees. Whether or not It would prove truo In all cases Is quite another question. It Is a mat tor, however, that deserves some moro extended experiment, for If bees lu tho - 1 -"i i)privm such a useful to take. Nevb.-ny should Trout's drug store. '-v hi in a tore. A PROFITABLE BUSINESS. -nctlch Mailing le a Practical Girl's Specialty. In on article In the Delineator on "Gills' Interests and Occupations" the following description Is given of a profitable business that has bwen dis covered by a practical girl: She makes sundwichts for teas, rc ciptious, card parties, stag parties and children" parties, as well as for trav elers' luncheon baskets, and makes over twenty-five varieties. At first thought It mny seem a very ordinary n atter to muke a sandwich, but not so when one must satisfy delicate and fuhtidioua tastes or make up a richly s jr. snnud little article which will cither v.

Skill and refinement, ft knowl edge of delicious combinations which will please the palate, nn eye for pret ty effects In shapes, aud the neatest and daintiest of methods, are among ti:.i secret of success.

Among the various kii.ds mr.de by tula busy firl are the cr?um cheese, nasturtium, chopped !.: ;t'.:d r.lmond, walnut, sardine, an ci -.vy, cucumlier, lettuce and olivo sandwiches. She never puts a slice of meat in a sandwich. Chicken 1: pound id and only the breast used, hum Is chopped fine and the seasonings are piquant nnd delightful, or highly flav ored foreign cheeses are used for stag parties. The golf B.'indwich Is vevf. It Is cut round with a biscuit cutter and Is of brown bread, spread with chopped olivu, minced lettuce and water cress, tarragon, paprika, parsley and chives, l.iixed with mayonnaise. Another de licious kind Is of pounded chicken, mixed with the yolk of mashed hard boiled egg, cream aud onion juice; aud still another Is of uuchovy paste min gled with cheese, and mustard. The aesthetic sandwich Is an Idea Imported from England. It Is the rose, the violet or the nasturtium by name and is made by shutting fresh, uusalted butter in a tight Jar with the flowers for several hours. The butter absorbs the flavor and is spread on bread which has been treated In the same manner. Home made bread, a day old, is used by this busy girl for her little trade. She makes it and bakes It, and It is of delicious quality, cut thiii as a wafer for 'the sandwiches and crusts not used. Jam sandwiches arc rolled nnd aro delicious when made of raspberry, orange, quince or spiced crushed currants. The girl who provides till tho:e dainties has placed them ou sale ut one of the exehunges for women's work and receives plenty of orders, beside supplying many pri vate customers as well. Women and Iluiulwvlllug. If handwriting Is un ludcx of char acter American womeu are all getting to be exactly alike. Every fashionable woman now writes the angular Eng lish hand nnd others are cultivating it. Good form decrees that paper, Ink and war. must be of a certain style, und this, taken lu conjunction with the similarity of penmanship, makes one fashionable woman's letter resem ble another's ulmost exactly. The ungular writing possesses one merit, that of being easily distin guishable. Contrasted with the flue, light, sluuUng Italian handwriting that was the fashion for women thir ty or forty years ago, the writing. of the modern woman shows a remark able chunge. Even ten or fifteen years ago the school girl who wroto with a heavy black stroke of the pen was considered at fault, while ex tremely light or delicately shaded Speuceriau penmanship wus commend ed us perfect. But ull this is changed nowudays. The blacker tho writing the more character k Is supposed to possess, just us the sketches of some artists who ure lavish with their In dia Ink aro ruted as strong. Shading has gone out entirely. It was quito a fud with women of loug ago to cross their four and five page letters of llnoly traced writing. Such a letter to-day would be unda elpherublo to modem eyes. There Is no need for the average woman to cross her letters nowudays, as they are as brief us possible. The long soulful outpourings with pen und Ink between women frleuds uro no longer Indulged in. It has been said that the art of letter writing bus completely died out, and that there ure no more love letters of the old sort written be tweeu betrothed couples. Even among womeu tho telegraph and the. tele phone have doue much to make let ter writing as It used to be practiced considered uu out-of-dato accomplish ment. Chicago News. Mew Veillost.

From each of live buttons a lino of machine ttitchlng rims to a point on the right Bide, sllh-Iy beyond the middle of the waist.

ISelow ths waist the long skirts of our military coat are edged with a doublo row of machine r.tliching. The desigus In stitching simulate braiding In sou tache, but are considered rather more novel. The patterned rows of stitch ing decorate the collar, tho coat front and the gauntlet upturned cuffs. Tho cuffs are stitched la rows for ulmost their entire height. The tailored skirt accompanying the military cant, has been made up on u circular foundation, finished with a dust ruffle. The feature Is the gradu ated flounce rising high In tho buck. Above the flounce are nine rows of machine stitching sweeping upward toward tho buck. This serves as a heading for the ornamental stitching on the flounce, a design of trlanlci resting on the broad base. An OilclnrU (Style ot Entertaining:.

How much better a gobelin blue burlap or car tridge paper would be? Then, too, of ten the mistake Is made of having ev erything of one color to match, there by causing monotony. Artistic dec orators advocate old rose In rugs and hungings as a relieving contrasting bit to gobelin blue walls, and yellow; oai woodwork.

The most desirable bed Is a Colonial mahogany four poster, with a valance around .a teslei aud nil around the frumo to the door.
