It was a college girl who Invented
the first American valentine, Miss
Esther A. Howland, of Mount Holyoke
having that honor. In 1849, two years
after her graduation, she came In con
tact with an English valentine, a fan
cy affair with a tiny red-edged note in
the centre bearing a love mesage. She
decided to invent something better,
and asked her brother to see If he
could get any orders for them. He
came back from a business trip In a
short time with $3,000 worth of or
ders. Miss Howland then requested
her friends to help and the orders
were filled and before long sho had a
valentine factory on her hands. Her
home was In Worcester, Mass., which
has still the largest valentine factory
In the country. On the 14th of each

Queens Larger Than Kings. '
The kings and emperors of today are
:, as a rule, smaller than their queens
a empresses.
Whether or not the royal and im-
(erlal women, because of their larger
tature, are enabled to sway the minds
it their consorts cannot, of course,
Ije said, but everyone knows that in
most arguments the tallest person us
tplly has the advantage when it is a
''stand-up conversation."
Queen Alexandra, as all who have
seen their photos are aware, is taller
than King Edward.
The King' of Italy, who is the small
tot man upon a throne today, scarcely
reaches to the shoulders of his Queen,
Who comes of the Montenegrin family,
all rugged and well developed.
King Carlos of Portugal has to
"look up" to his consort, and this can
Jdsd be said in regard to the King and
Queen of Denmark.
And, as for the Queen of Spain and
he Queen of Roumania, while they do
jot find It possible to "look down" on
their Kings, they at least are as tall.

Elderly Views or Christmas.
Both were grandmothers, and in
their appearance candidly revealed
their grandmotherhood. Their figures
were corseted, but not beyond nature;
their gowns were suitable, not notice
able; their hair was guiltless of puffs
or crimping or artificiality, just drawn
back naturally and rather loosely. Both
wore plain gold band rings, no dia
monds or other glittering precious
stones.
They were taking luncheon together,
the one evidently at the invitation of
the other; and they had net met for a
long time, Judging from-the pleasant
interchange of personalities. Present
ly their conversation ran into such
broad, tolerant veins that the listener
could not help listening, and even
prolonging her owni luncheon to hear
more. There were touches of humor,
comments on now books, an apprecia
tion of daughters-in-law, finally, best
of all, a bit of talk about Christmas,
preluded by:
"One can't afford to worry after
reaching sixty," from the guest.
"Better learn not to worry before
sixty," fished back the hostess.
"How most of us women are wear
ing ourselves out over Chfistmas,"
continued the guest, charitably includ
ing herself, unnecessarily, one was
sure. "For the last two or three
weeks I have been watching the four
women I know best, and it would be
altogether too bad if there weren't a
humorous side to it to see the lines
deepen in their faces and their brows
pucker, as the stress of getting ready
for Christmas overtakes them;"
"Christmas has changeu since our
day," Bald the hostess meditatively.
"My mother and father thought all
Christmas observances sheer folly and
frivolity. I like the present day way
far better; only, as everybody preaches
and very few pratlce, we overdo it We
ought to make it Just a glad, cheerful
day, and as happy for as many people
as we can, in the simplest of ways,"
"Life Isn't so very long at the long
est," the guest commented cheerfully.
"The older I grow the more I believe
in having all the merriment and all
the harmless pleasure we can. I re
member hearing Mary A. Llvermore
say that there are few large pleasures in
life let out on a long lease, and there
fore we ought to cultivate a large un
dergrowth of small pleasures. The
Christmas season is the best for such
an undergrowth."
"I believe that heartily." The host
ess rose as she spoke. "Now, let's

about"-New York Tribune.
Fashion Notes.
Plaited ribbon trimmings appear on
the Directolre coats.
The strongest vogue in gowns Is
still the Grecian line.
Coats are long and they were never
of more graceful cut
The belt and bag set Is one of the
fancies of the Season.
A great deal of swansdown Is used
to trim the. black hats.
Buttons on coats are of the same
character as those used with velvet
and silk wraps.
Automobile veils have two-Inch bor
ders, sometimes spangled with gold or
silver paillettes.
Satin and net are far and away the
most used materials for elaborate cos
tumes this season.
Cashmere de sole is a material that
Is being employed to a great extent
by the smartest dressmakers.
Hand-made sterling silver brooches,
set with small amethysts, have three
pendants, set with tiny stones.
The all-white coat is probably the
greatest .favorite for the wee ones, but
soft rose tints and pastel blues are al
so liked.
As the edict has gone forth that
all haits shall have wing or quill trim
mings, it is well that the varieties and
prices are wide in range.
Automobillsts are wearing white fur
gloves that have deep gauntlets catch
ing with a strap at --e wrist, which
closes with a Jewelled buckle.
Shoe tops may be of goods to match
the dress or of suede to match the
facings of the" suit, while the vamp is
of patent leathar or brown calf.
The real novelty in veils, Is the
"two-faced" veil, and it has been in
vented tor the benefit of the motoring
woman. It Is made of two large mo
tor veils of chiffon of contrasting col
ors, stitched together at the side hem.
MANAGING VICIOUS BULLS.
As a rule, the wisest way of hand
ling a bull that Is Inclined to t3
vicious is to hand him over to the
butcher, as an animal of this class
is never safe to trust. If he be one
bhat has proven to be an extra good
sire, and it Is deemed desirable to
keep him for service, the safest and
simplest means of handling him is
to blindfold him. He may be man
aged by means of ropes and pulleys,
giving him room to move out of his
tall when required, and bringing
him back to his place; but it is a
cumbersome method. .
Blindfolding quietly takes all the
conceit out of a blusterer. A broad
bandage of double sacking securely
fastened over his eyes, may serve the
purpose ordinarily In the stable. ThU
device may be used to good advan
tage in handling a nervous or ex
citable beast while being led to mar
ket or drawn in a wagon to be
shipped on a train. .
I remember a case of a heifer re
ceived on the train being so wildly
excited that she would Jump at a
person approaching her to untie her
halter, but, by throwing a blanket
over her head, and afterwards tying
a 'sack over her eyes, she was quiet
ly unloaded and tied behind a wagon
which she followed as meekly as one
could desire.
Mismanagement or lack of thought
makes a great deal of trouble in the
handling of stock. How often do
we see men chasing pigs all over the
place In the vain effort to get them
Into a pen, the porkers always going
In the direction contrary to the ono
ttiey.ore desired to go; while, by hav
ing a pair of low light hurdles, hing
ed together, forming a V-shaped
guide, the animals can be handled
quickly, and with the use of no un
seemly words.
Vicious bulls are generally made
so by unwise treatment when young,
giving them too much liberty, or us
ing them cruelly. It Is well to use
them kindly, but they Bhould be trust
ed no mere than is necessary,' for it
sometimes happens thnt a bull that
has been quiet, suddenly and unex
pectedly becomes vicious, and maims
a man for life or gores him to death.
It is the part of wisdom to handle
a bull with a strong staff and a safe
connection with his nosering, no mat
ter ihow quiet he may be. W. H. Un
derwood, In the Indiana Farmer.
FARM NOTES.
Don't forget that a wire screen
door Is as beneficial In winter, as
la summer, for the hen house.
Don't advertise yourself as a
specialist, or an expert, if you have
not exhibited your stock at the poutf
try shows.
The farmer generally gives less
consideration to the roosts and nests
than to any other part of his poul
try house. This Is not right
Desiring to save labor, the roost
are nailed to the walls and the nests
are so fastened as to become a part
of the building Itself in many enses.
Under such conditions It Is Impos
sible to thoroughly clean the poultry
house and rid it of vermin, for as
long as there is a crack or crevice
la which a louse can hide there will
be a rapid Increase of the pests, as
a single female lays enough eggs In
a day to furnish the foundation for a
million in a week.
Tihe perches should be built so that
they do not touch the walls at any
place, for the red mites or lice which
do the most harm do not stay on the
fowls during the day-time but come
forth at night to seek their prey.
If the perches do not touch the
walls at any place, the 'lice will
have les3 opportunity to 'hide, and
then if the roosts are thoroughly
wetted with coal oil once a week for
a month or two, little difficulty will
be encountered with these 'lice.
Coal oil is Instant death to them
and if the roosts do not touch the
walls they cannot get away from the
liquid but will have to stay and "take
their medicine."
The instinct of self-preservation
prompts fowls to perch on the high
est point possible when taking their
quarters for the night. They naturally
desire to be above danger from be
low. For this reason, perches should
all he on the same level, and not
one higher than the other, or there
will be crowding and fighting for tho
highest positions. From "Roosts and
Nests" in the Epitomlet
DRESSING AND MARKETING
POULTRY.
The " condition of dressed poultry
when sent to the market largely de
termines the price. Frequently poul
try raisers complain of the low price
they get for their chickens when in
truth the specimens sent should havo
been used for home consumption
rather than for marketing. Poultry
which makes a good show always
meet a ready sale and brings good
prodts. Poultry dressed and packed
In every conceivable way, without
regard to appearance, seldom pays
the shipper for his trouble, and, as
a rule, ho literally has to glv it
away to get it off his hands. This
Is wrong. A few poor blrd3 in a
crate of good ones ruin the sale of
the whole lot as first-class birds, and
Injure the reputation of the shipper,
it would be better to throw away the
absolutely poor ones than to lower
the price that may be realized from
:be sale of the good ones.
the appearance and are very likely
to sour. American Cultivator.
ECONOMY IS PRODUCTION.
Although fourteen bushels of
wheat is about the average yield in
this country, yet our farmers have
not comprehended the importance of
doubling the yield. Having plenty of
land they look more to the area than
to the substances from which crops
are grown. Millions of gallons of
liquid manure are wasted every year
because no adequate provision is
made on the farms for preventing
this loss, and farms become- poorer
because a portion of the products ot
the farms flow away with every rain
that comes down upon the man
ure heap. The waist materials that
are cf no value, such as weeds and
rubbish, are allowed to damage In
various ways, and even the solids o(
the manure lose muoh of their value
because of not being properly kept.
This condition Is found mostly
on farms that have too much land
in proportion ' to equipment. The
labor that should be applied where
It would prove most valuable Is be
stowed on too much land. The ef
fort to raise fourteen bushels of
wheat on an acre Is twice as costly
as to double the yield, as a profit
may be possible In, one case and im
possible in the other. Everything
not sold off tho farm has value and
Is worth as much to the farmer aa
to the buyer of his produce. It Is
as important that he save and utilize
his product, whether In the orm of
stock, crops or manure, as It Is to
send such to market to be sold for
cash. Epltomist.
MAKING ALFALFA HAY.
The best alfalfa hay Is made by
raking and cocking while fairly green
and allowing to cure for several days
In the cock. On account of the un
certainty of the weather, however,
this method Is often found Impractic
able and a quicker method In which
(the alfalfa is dried in the sunlight
! must be used, it is always very im
f port ant that the raking and as much
of . the other handling of the crop
I as possible be done while the alfal
fa Is sufficiently green to retain Its
leaves, as the leaves are by far the
best part of the plant.
A method of handling the crop
which has given good satisfaction nt
the Maryland station Is to out tho
alfalfa in the morning as soon as tho
dew Is off, allow it to remain In the
swath as late In the afternoon as
possible and yet get It raked before
the evening dews fall and then put It
in tall cocks. If it looks like rain;
otherwise leave it In the wlnrow over
night. If the next day Is sunshiny
the hay Is scattered after the dew Is
off, allowed to dry until late after
noon and put In the barn. If the
weather Is not favorable for drying,
more than two days will be required
to cure the hay. t
Hay put In the barn or stack when
only partially cured Is likely to
mould or to char and be dusty, bo
that it is practically unsalable, and
In some cases sufficient heat is gen
erated to ignite the whole mass.

HORSE COLLARS SHOULD FIT.
A badly fitting collar makes the
young team horse troublesome. It is
of the greatest Importance that the

The shoulders often become more or

TO SECURE RICH YIELD OF MILK.
An experienced farmer recom
mends, for the securing a targe yield
of rich milk from a cow, that sho

which bran has been stirred at the
rate of one quart to two gallons of
water. The amount of the drink
necessary is an ordinary water-pall-ful

those who stable and soil their cows,
this will be found a good practice.

EQG8 BY WAGON LOAD 8.
Carted for Miles Like Bricks In I
Wagon, Few Are Broken In Transit.
Eggs by the wagon loadi, hauled for
mniiy miles over a rocky road, In al
most exactly the same manner as a
Western farmer transports his corn
crcp, Is the way the Ozark region poul
try ralter gets his eggs to market. On
the streets of West Plains, Mo which,
according to "The St. Louis Republic,"
has become a great poultry and egg
market, as well as the centre of the fa
mous land ot the big red apple and
Elborta peach, It is a dally occurrence
to see wagon loads of eggs, many of
them coming a distance of more than
60 miles.
Filling a wagon with eggs so that
they will ride without breaking Is an
art that requires skill. 'The Ozark
huckster and freighter has this down
to a nicety, and it is seldom that he
breaks more than two or three dozen
of the big load in the long journey
over the mountains.
In loading a wagon with eggs a
three-Inch layer of straw Is placed in
the bottom of the wagon bed. Then
the eggs are carried out to the wagon
In buckets and small boxes. They are
poured on the straw without ceremony,
and the driver, with a broad "stroke of
his hand, scattered them out In a sin
gle layer. When the layer cf eggs is
complete another covering of straw is
put on and more eggs are put in the
wagon until the entire bed is piled
high. Then boards are put on top of
the load to hold It down. Usually the
huge pile is much higher than the ,top
ot the wagon bed, and then it becomes
necessary for several persons to get on
the loads to bring them down to a level
with the top of tha wajon bed, and they
are nailed down.
A ciiain Is wrapped around the mid
dle of the wagon -bed and on top of
the wagon la put the driver's bedding
and "grub" box, and sometimes a big
bale of cotton. Eggs ride better this
way than if they were packed in cases
with straw board fillers. Frequently
the driver walks around on top of the
wagon without fear of doing damage,
and the Jolting of the heavy load over
the hills of the Ozarks does not crack
many of the eggs. One thousand doz
en Is an average load, but many
freighters bring more than this num
ber if the condition of the roads per
mit and the hens have been busy.
In shipping eggs to market tho eggs
are first "candled," a process through
which they are put to find all the bad
ones, In order to comply with the na,
tlonal pure food law. Then the eggs
are packed In cases and loaded In
refrigerator cars, bound for the East
ern markets. A single car contains
exactly 400 cases. Counting 30 dozen
of eggs to a cose, a car holds 12,000
dozen, or 144,000 eggs. Estimated at
present prices received In the East, a
car of eggs is worth $2500.
The Missouri hen as a revenue pro
ducer is far ahead of the famous Mis
souri mule or even the cow. In the
Ozark region the poultry industry Is
going to outrival fruit growing at the
present stride. According to the bu
reau of labor statistics Missouri ship
ped more than $39,000,000 worth of
poultry and eggs in 1907, and this year
will Ehow a big increase.
From actual experience, a farmer's
wife, with one hundred chickens, will
net the tidy sum of $05 in six months'
time from the sale of eggs alone. One
hundred pullels will produce on an
average CG eggs a day, or 830 dozen,
In the course of a month. At" 161-2
cents a dozen, the average price paid
In the markets, the gross revenue de
rived from tho hens is $156.50. Esti
mating that it costs about $26 to feed
the flock, and counting two hours' la
bor each day at $43, the net profit Is
$65.
