A flood Cleaning Oil.
An excellent cleaner and polisher for
furniture with a very high finish Is
recommended by an experienced dealer
In rare woods. To one tablcspoonful
of linseed oil add an equal portion of
turpentine, together with a piece of
any pure soap the size of a walnut.
Pour this Into a vessel containing one
quart of boiling water, and let the
whole boil for about 10 minutes, stir
ring it occasionally, an that It may be
well mixed. This liquid can be used
either warm or cold, but experience
v teaches that It is more effective when
warm; it can be heated several times
before it will need renewing. Apply
' with a soft flannel cloth, well wrung
uui, lu aa email iui nuu ui iud Bill lata
to be cleaned. After the dirt has been
well wiped off, take a fresh flannel
to polish with, and a few minutes'
vigorous rubbing will Boon restore the
wood to its original brilliancy. Crude
oil ia the polisher used in most of the
furniture shops. But it is well to re
member that in the stores there Is
scarcely a day when each piece of fur
niture is not carefully wiped off with
It soft cloth, keeping the surfaces per
fectly clean, so that the aid of the oil
ia only called in to take oft the cloudy

Iloc Nasrt Fresh Air.
Plenty of fresh air is essential for
hogs as well as other animals. This
is mora often neglected in case of hog
bouses than buildings designeil for
other farm stock. The best success
caunot be obtained unless this Injunc
tion is strictly observed.
I.lina fteneflelnl on Out Ground.
In some Alabama experiments com
plete fertilizers were applied to sev

received (10 pounds of slaked lime in
addition to the fertilizer the yield was
almost bualiels per acre greater
thau where the lime was not applied.
Flaring Fees For Hutching.
The correct position for eggs, ilnr-a
iug incubation, is on their sides, with
the large end slightly the highest.
Wlicu the egg is in this position the
chicks form in the large end, and at
hatching time break the shell near
that end. If the small end is the
higher, they are very likely to break
the sholl near that end, and if they do,
they are nine' more likely to perish
in the shell, as they are not able to
turn easily, aud mar not break tha
shell all the way ronnd. The sawdust
in the drawer or tray may interfere
with the ventilation, or it may not, ao
cordiug to the construction of the ma
chine. The eggs may be placed on
end for the first Hve days, it turned
twice daily, and then tested. When
the infertile eggs and those with dead
germs are removed, there will usually
be room enough in the trays for the
fertile eggs to be plaoed on their sides.
Hangs For Tnrkeya.
The tnrkey is a fowl that has been
least time domesticated by man. The
Iudians never tried to tame them, and
it is considerably less than i)00 years
since any attempt was made to domes
ticate this bird. One result of the
wild nature of the turkey is that it
will not bear to be confined. Even
the domestic, hen will not be so good
a mother to the turkeys in their later
stages as the turkey hen. Hhe will
take long jaunts in the fields catohing
grasshoppers and other insects, and
when frost loosens the beechnuts on
the trees, the tnrkey hen will take her
brood to the woods and live on what
waa iu their wild state the main feed
of the turkey during winter. A beech
nut diet gives the turkey a better
flavor than any other food. Duck
wheat, which ia au angular grain like
the beechnut, is, perhaps, the next
best grain for turkeys, but it laoks the
oil with which the beechnut abounds.
When turkeys are put up to fatten,
which Is the only time they should be
confined, it is worth while to mix a
few beechnuts with their feed. This
will keep the other food from caking
in their crops, aud enable the turkeys
to fatten faster, beaidos improving the
flavor of their flesh. To have good
flavored meat the turkeys must be
kept from indigestion, whiah always
creates fever. For this reason the fat
toning of turkeys must usually be
completed iu ten days to two weoks
aftor they have been confined in a dark
place where they can do nothing but
eat.

does Into F.actaelea Onf Par
Genuine femininity.
"I observe," said a coarse, brutal
man who doesn't know the difference
between 'the higher and nobler' and a
load of ash coal, according to the
Washington Tost, "that the advertising
ends of this month's magazines are
publishing a testimonial as to the mer
its of a certain brand of toilet soap,
written by one of the ladles who has
been doing her little bit during the
last half century toward securing the
franchise for woman. Her picture is
run in with the ad and her testimonial
Is surely a heap fulsome for a volun
tary contribution. In the course of
her remarks she says, 'I abhor a per
fumed woman.' It Is to take a short,
Jerky biff at this remark that I emerge
from my cave and leap into the fracas.
I love a perfumed woman. I think a
perfumed woman Is the real thing in
femininity the daintily perfumed
woman, who, when she swishes by
you, has something about her that
makes you vaguely remember the old
honeysuckle covered porch that you
know a quarter of a century ago; who
carries with her the suggestion of
aspliodpllnn dales and sturllt meadows.
It Isn't particularly because of the
elusive, hop-smoky, garden-of-Daphne
fragranco that the perfumed woman
daintily emits that I think she's the
one and only real thing In long drap
eries. It's because she typifies the fem
inine woman. Gimme a lyre, or a
harp, or a tuglehorn, or a kazoo any
old thing that I may sing the praises
and the glorlrs of tho feminine wom
an! She was here In the world's early
dawn, and she's going to be right here
alongside of us when we're having
$2.48 round trip excursions to Mars!
It's because she's feminine that Bhe's
adorable! It'a becauso every once In
awhile she gets her work done early
so she can 'go upstairs and have a
good cry;' It's because she crushes us
Into pulp with her 'because'; It's be
cause she admits our premises and de
nies our conclusions; It'a because
he'll begin to purse her lips for baby
talk when she sees an Infant a block
away; it'a because she loves roses and
lacey things and only $2 per pound
candy; it's because she gives us the
reproachful eye when we ought to be
sewed up in a blanket and clubbed; it's
because she'll dig and delve and
scrupe and scrap for her husband and
her little ones until icy stalactites
bang from the root of Gehenna; it'a
because she dabs her eyes with a little
wad of moucholr until her nose is red
when she sees real human suffering;
it's just because she's feminine, Bill,
and therefore such a derned big sight
better than we are, that she had us on
the lope and plum loco over her ever
since the days of the Hyksos kings of
Egypt! Gimme a lute that I may chant
of the physical, s mental, moral and
spiritual loveliness of the perfumed,
who Is also the feminine woman! May
she be with us until the grand bust up
of all things!"

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Creal Pressure ol Consumers Kosps Up Prion
Iron Market Grow tig Steady.
II. a. Inin & CVj.'s weekly review nf
trnde reports as follows fur lust week:
The most noteworthy feature of the
time Is the rlHe In prleus. Cotton ruae
on Wednesday to 7.S1 rents with mui h
excitement, fiuttltiR the price 2l rents
hinder tbim It wua n yeur hko, nnd yet
It whb Htlll hlKlu-r In Heptember. 1S.I7.
Wool bus risen relutlvely mure, Hboul
10 per rent In two weeks, nnd the aver
ao of 100 (imitations l.y t'outes Hioth
'is Ih hlKlier thnn it bits been at any
other time since May, i.V.. I'Ik iron
bus rlft-n further, ii htlnir quoted ft
anthracite No. 1, the blithest price
since Jimunry, ISM. Hut hldta are al
the highest point since January, 1S78,
havlntr risen all the year with very
little reaction. Leather and boots
and shoes were higher In November.
IN'jr,, than they are now, cotton (rood
were blKher In January, 1SU0, woolen
(roods In July, 18H4, and even the pro
ducts of Iron, though Krently advanc
ed, are not ua high us they were In
January. 1890.
Huch wide discrepancies In advance
cause much embarrassment, but arc
the natural characteristic of a rise
which Is mainly due, not to concerted
action In any trade, but to the pressure
of a consuming demand, the greatest
ever known, which for the time ex
ceeds supplies, though very unequally.
Its results begin to justify the conser
vative feeling; which finds expression
In many branches of business.
The Iron Industry, which has led all
years In the ndvance, now lends the
way toward a readjustment of values.
While contracts for pig cover the en
tire product . of the most Important
districts for six to nine months In ad
vance, many of the consuming wwkt
In some lines approach the end of thelt
.orders, and have new competition tfi
meet, so that sheets have fallen 14 pel
ton at Pittsburg, and $9 from the high
est point In September, nnd plutes are
$6 lower there and $:i at Philadelphia.
At the same time bora are tl per ton
higher both at Philadelphia and Pitta
burg, the demand being enormous, and
at Chicago very heavy contracts hav
been made for car and Implement
works. A bridge combination Is
thought likely to affect future business
In structural shapes, which continue
Inrge for the season. A break In the
London market depressed tin, and
sules were made at 'M cents.
Hoot and shoe makers are general!)
g-ettlnsr about the 10 cents per pair ad
vance they have held necessary, und
have as large contracts In most linen
aa they now wish to close, In view of
the uncertainty about materials
Leather continues very strong, and In
that also dealera are not anxious foi
greater commitments, but consuming
demand causes large sules In advanct
of production.
Wheat has not been very active not
strong, although western receipts hav
much declined, being 4.931.907 busheli
for the week, against S.'Jl'I.OIj busheli
Inat year. Exports are also smaller,
the Atlantic 2,58.1,637 bushels, (lour In
cluded, against 3.3.1S.509 bushels foi
the week last year, and Paclllo 1,1SS,81(
bushels, against l.Olli.Wil bushela lusl
year. The decrease in foreign dem tnd
may be ascribed In part to heavy pre
vious exports, but perhaps still more
to the great movement of corn, S.4iiX.loi
bushels for the week, against 2.062,331
bushels Inst year. Corn advanced
about aa much as wheat fell, though

when the twentieth century begins. In
other words, it begins with the first
second of the first hour of the first duy
of January, 1901. The twentieth cen
tury will open on a Tuesday and closes
an a Sunday. It will have tho greatest
number of leap years possible, for a
century twenty-four. The year 1901
will be tho first one, then every fourth
year after that to and Including n
year 2000. February will three times
have five Sundays In 1921), 194S and

day of being exactly 5,218 weeks. The j
middle day of the century will bo Jan.

made of changes to be Inaugurated
with the opening of the new century.
The first of importance Is that Russia
will adopt the Gregorian calendar.
This will be done by omitting thirteen
