Money nad Other Vulanlilra That
Went Aatrny Itrcovereil !- Ill a
oil Tlllrra of the Soil.
Illinois farmers and country people
have the most wonderful luck in re
covering lost money, valuable papers
and other articles. Names and places
are given in instances of recent date
when Ir.rge amounts of money have
been recovered.
A few weeks ago C. O. Johnson,
who lives on a farm near Sycamore,
discovered that he had lost W10 in
money and some insurance papers.
He h:ii! kept the money in a box in
an upper room, and having occasion
to go to the box he found it missing.
He made tip his mind that it had been
stolen, but n part of the contents of
the box was found in one of the out
houses a few days later. A portion
of the money was recovered.
Within the last ten days Mrs. Mary
Crowell, of Oregon, 111., lost a $10!)
bill. She advertised in the Ogle Coun
ty Republican for it and finally got
it back by an extraordinary run of
good luck. John Iieed, the janitor
of the Presbyterian church, gathered
up a lot of stuff and threw it in the
furnace, in which there was a fire.
Iieed thought he saw something that
looked like a crisp note and jerked
it out of the furnace before it was
ablaze. In the dim light he took it to
be n dollar bill, but when he got near
a lamp he found it worth lot) times
that much. He took it over to Mrs.
Crowell, who promptly gave hint a
tenth of it.
Theodore Itossow, a (lerinan farm
er living near ltloomington, went into
town one afternoon recently, and it
was on Friday, too. Kossow drew
$.100 from the bank. It was in cristi
bills and he slipped the whole of it
in a large envelope. Then he went
to the' hitching post where he had
left his horse and buggy, and did an
unheard of tiling. He took the en
velnpe out of his pocket and shoved
it, money and all, under the seat
cushion. He had some more errands
to do, and when he got buck to the
hitching post the animal, buggy.
money and all was gone. After look
ing all over town for his rig, he ap
plied to the police, who joined in the
search. In an hour or two a stray
horse nnd buggy were reported- in n
remote section of the town, and Kos
sow's turnout was there discovered.
A search under the seat cushion dis
closed the envelope with its valuable
contents.
Witliin the last month a farmer liv
ing near Sterling sold some farm
products for which he was paid a sum
of money considerably over $1,000 in
cash. It was late in the evening, the
banks were closed, and the man was
afraid to heep the money in his
house. Puring the afternoon he had
killed a calf, which he intended to
ship to South Water street in the
morning. The carcass was hanging
in the shed, and wrapping the money
in an old newspaper he secreted it
inside the carcass nnd went to bed.
The next morning the old man over
slept himself, nnd by the time he was
well awake he found that his hired
man had shipped the calf to Chicago
and the money went along. The
farmer got aboard of the first train
nnd landed in South Water street on
the same day, soon finding the com
mission man to whom it had been
shipped. He found the carcass nnd
inside was the package of bills. Chi

The first cont of paint may be put
on the siding intended for a barn in
a fraction of the time it usually
takes, by piling up the siding as here
illustrated. Paint six boards at a
time, slide them to the further side,
then six more, and so on.
When one row is completed, three
strips of siding are laid on the row
of boards at right angles to allow the

gone over in this wny in one day as
could be done in three days when the

if the boards are matched and bead

Milk Mnut lie Cooled ftolrkly.
In cooling milk the work should be
done rapidly. It is not enough to set
the cans in cold air; they should be
set in cold water. Any thing cools more
rapidly in cold water than in' cold air,
for the reason Unit the air is to a con
siderable extent a non-conductor.

any object plnced in it. If it is de

get harder eai -, year. Let a man
run a farm on Cup.- Cod and he ':ll
iii:d thut expert l;.n;i liuuds are hard
er to obtain tl.an anything else that
(rood farming demands. Let him go
straight to California, nnd he will
find about the same story. California
farmers are surprised to learn that
eastern farmers are crviii! for heln
well-trained help! We have daily
I letters from people nil over the
north who fairly beg for men and
women who nre dependable. This lack
of skilled helpers is actually chang
ing the plan of farming in many sec
tions. Fanners find that by using
fertilizers and complicated machinery
they can alone, or with little help
work their farms fairly well with
grass, grain or fruit often selling
the latter on the trees. It Is trim
that the use of fertilizers and ma
chinery have enlarged the possibil
ities of one-man farming, yet it fre
quently happens that the farms on
which this plan is followed nre nat
urally suited to t!' ---v wliirb de
mand hand labor. !f this failure to
obtain skilled help were confined to
any particular section it might be ac
counted for. but, so far as we know,
there is no part of the country
where the supply equals the demand.
In theory one would think that the
short courses at our ngricultural col
leges would be rrowded with boys
and hired men eager to fit themselves
for more useful work. If something
of this sort could he brought about
such colleges would truly prove a
Messing to farmers, for without
skilled anil really helpful helpers the
farmer is often unable to utille fully

A barn cellar is usually built
where the land slopes toward the
sun, so the exposed wall may have
windows to admit sunshine. It some
times happens that one's barn must
be built upon a northern slope. In
this case n well-lighted cellar enn

outside the southern wall some six
feet wide, the earth being retained
by n wall. The bottom of the ex
cavation slopes away from the cel
lar, to turn water away from the
wall. This is conveyed by a ditch or
drain across the end of the building
to the lower ground. The northern
wsill is protected by throwing up a
bank of earth against it. C. L.

Sneeeaa In Poultry Ilnlainir.
To make the poultry business pay
four things are necessary. The one
embarking in it must have a natural
liking fortheptirsu.it; must ascertain
exactly how much capital can be in
vested in the business; must make a
study of the most approved plans and
methods of starting the enterprise,
both as to the breed of fowls selected
and the arrangements for their ac
cessible markets and the best man
ner of reaching good customers in
those markets, and then proceed tjo
work with patience and persistence. In
a modified way the same principles ap
ply to poultry keeping on the farm.

Snicar aa a Wholeaome Food,
The increased use of sugar in t lie
army ration of the German soldier,
of whom grent muscular exertion is
required, makes it apparent that the
masses of the people would be greatly
benefited by its increased use as an
article of diet. The more cheaply
sugar can be. produced by improved
methods of cultivation nnd manufac
ture, either from the cane or sugar
beet, the more easily it can be placed
within the reach of the consumer,
and the better it will be for the gen
eral health of the working class and
the vitality of the race. Farm and

An Item In Itondmnklna;.
It is a common error in road mak
ing to endeavor to secure routes cov
ering the shortest distance between
fixed points. 1-or this purpose the
roud is often made to go orer a hill
instead of around it. A road half
way around a hill or through a val
ley Is sometimes no longer than a
rond over n hill or through a valley.
The difference in the length, even
between a straight rond and one that
is slightly curved is less than many
suppose.
FARM TELEPHONES.
That They Are Miilllplylnu; In All
Pnrta of the Country la a I'li-im-IliK
bltn of Proitreaa.
Some of our renders have lately
mentioned in letters the convenience
of the telephone. They save many a
long, hard drive in the cold. One
farmer nrranges to go to the post of
fice, to the store or neighboring vil
lage or railway station for the neigh
borhood nnd so a half day's work or
more is saved to man, for men and ani
mals. It is economy in time, in wear
and tear of carriage, in the expomre
and use of horses, and in ways too
numerous to catalogue.
lint one of the chief uses of the farm
telephone, as we conceive it, is in its
social benefits. It brings the people
in touch. What one knows of impor
tance can be known by all. If there
is a farmers' institute, a lecture, a
meeting of the lodge or grange, a par
ty or social event of any kind, the fact
is easily communicated. This gives a
real, live, friendly social touch. You
are no longer nn isolated family, left
out in the cold; you belong to a com
munity. You nre not withering away
or rusting out in a rural or pioneer
home, but you are in healthful contact
with those who sympathize with you
and ure ready to lend a helping ha nd
if you need it. You may not need it,
but the knowledge that you c.-mi have
it f nd that you are a living part of a
modern, civilized. Christian communi
ty is n source of comfort and of equa
nimity which has its own value.
Hollars and cents do not ntuke up
the whole of life. Why do Americans
flock to the cities? One reason is that
they feel the need of the social con
tact and the various privileges which
come from community life. If our
wives nnd daughters will be made hap
pier, if the killing isolation can be
overcome and our families be brought
more into organic connection w ith the
grent live world, it would be worth
more when a life's history is written
than anything that can be computed
in money. Farm, Field nnd Fireside.
tteltef In .Mulit at I.niit.
Poor country mails are given ns a
cause of agricultural depression in
testimony before the industrial com
mission. The farmer is at a disadvan
tage in the market, nnd the cost of
carrying on jhis work nnd delivering
his nroduce is erentlv increased, thus
lessening the profits which rightfully
belong to him. Fortunately there is
a distinct movement in favor of better
roads, not only In the north and west,
but In the. middle states nnd south.
