A New Cupboard.
No Getter receptacle for old china
has ever been found than a corner
cupboard, but unfortunately the sup-
Ply is not equal to the demand. There
are more collectors than cupboards.
If one were clever enough to copy
a Colinial cupboard, as did P. D. Clif
ton, ¢f Pittsburg, it would hardly be
wortih while hunting for an old one.
As a faithful reproduction of a
famous eighteenth century design, it
‘would be hard to find anything better

Don't IFold Your Arms.
By folding your arms you pull the
shoulders forward, flatten the chest
and impair deep breathing. Folding
the arms across the chest so flattens
it down ‘that it requires a conscious
effort to keep the chest in what
should be its natural position. As
soon as you forget yourself down
drops the chest,
We cannot see ourselves as others
see us. If we could many of us
would be ashamed of our shapes. The
position you held your body in most
of the time soon becomes its natural
position. Continuously folding your
arms across the chest will develop a
flat chest and a rounded back.
Here are four other hints which
should be made habits: Keep the
back of the neck close to the back of
the collar at all possible times. A’-
ways carry the chest farther to tb~
front than eny other part of the an
terior body. Draw the abdomen in
and up a hundred times each day.
Take a dozen deep, slow breaths a
dozen times each day.—Family Doec

Lincoln’s Sarcasm.
Probably the most cutting thing
Lincoln ever said was the remark he
made about a very loquacious man,
“This person can compress the most
words into the smallest ideas of any
man I ever met.”
No fewer than fifty-two memorial
stones were laid at the foundation of
a new primitive Methodist church at
Scunthrope, England.

A Good Plan.
A space fenced off in the corner of
the orchard would be greatly appreci
ated by the hogs. Just give this lit
tle scheme a trial; it is sure to bring
forth good results.—Weekly Witness.
The Cow That's Needed.
The cow that is needed by the far
mer is one that will return so him
the greaiest value of product in re
turn for the value of the food given
her and labor expended upon her.
These returns may be made in milk,
calf or in beef-—either all combined
or singly. Sentiment should find no
place with the farmer and the cow
that can’t “deliver the goods' should
be given her walking papers immedi
ately. It's the profit that the farmer
is after and nothing else. — Weekly
Witness.
Cave of Sheep.
No farmer should. keep sheep be
cause they are scavengers and can
pick off a large share of their food
from scanty - herbage. Such sheep
must be active to travel over large
spaces in order to find subsistance.
Success is assured only when the far
mer is willing to use breeds that give
large carcasses and which respond
quickly to care and attention. It is
only the labor, after all, that makes
profit, but labor must be bestowed
on the best to be had. To expect
sheep to pay without the investment
of labor is to sacrifice profits.—The
Epitomist.
Well Planned Cow Stall.
I do not like stanchions of any
kind.- T think they destroy the nat
ralness of the cows and they trouble
eaci other a great deal, besides often
treqding upon each ofher.
The only point in favor of stan
chions is that they take up less room,
but I believe the increass in milk is
a reward for allowing more space and
convenience to each cow. :

dent of the Missouri Valley Farmer.
The rack, a, is of hardwood thirty
inches high, with the slats wide
enough so cow can thrust her nose
through up to her eyes.
The bottom of the rack is eighteen
inches wide, extending into the stall
toward the cow. The feed box, b,
slides through an opening |
stall on the barn floor. It ?fin%
drawn into the feedway, cleaned out
and a new feed put in without being
disturbed by the cow. . /
The halter strap, c¢, is just long
enough to allow the cow to lie down
comfortably. The gutter, d, is eight
inches lower than the stall floor.
When she lies down she will put her
head under the rack in kneeling and
when she gets up she will move back
ward so that she can look through
the rack.. The length and width of
the stall can be made to suit the
COWS,
Apply Manure Often,
A little . manure applied often
bears just the same relation to the
benefit of our land and crops as mois
ture applied at intervals throughout
the year. We would not want a del
uge of water once a year and noth
ing between times. And the point
of this is that to use the manure in
a way so as to get the most benefit
out of it we must spread it as fast as
it is made practically throughout the
vear to our growing crops and hay
land, There is always some part of
our land that needs an occasional ap
plication of manure. I believe that
every reader of The Epitomist will
support me in the statement that ma
nure applied to the land as quickly
as made is worth at least six times
as much in increasing crops as that
which has lain in the barnyard until
all the plant food has bzen leached
and burned out of it, and yet it takes
just as much time and labor to dis
tribute this almost worthless stuff as
it does to haul it at its hest, Let's
apply the manure just as soon as it
is made, if possible. It's our gain,—
William H. Underwood, in the Agri
cultural Epitomist,
Mr. Sanders’ Workshop.
Every farm needs a small work
shop, where all kinds of small repair
jobs can he done, thus saving much
time and expense. We built ours on
t'he side of the barn and made it long
enough for both shop and woodshed.
It is only ten by twelve. But I would
not know how to get along without
3t »
A door opens into the barn and an
other opens in the opposite end of
the woodshed and go through into the
shop and barn withont going out in
the storm, which we find a great con
venience. I spend 3 good many pleas
ant hours in this shop on stormy
days, fixing harness, wagon or broken
tools.
One does not need an expensive lot
of tools, but he needs quite a variety
—a kit of carpenter’s tools, a good
post drill, a small anvil, cold chisels,
a sel of punches of all sizes to drive
out broken bolis. A small portable
forge is very useful, but I prefer to
have that in a small building by it
self, as there is too much risk in hav
ing a fire near the barn. I have saved
many a trip to the blacksmith’'s by
having the proper tools to work
with.
Save all the old wagon tires as
they are a fine thing to repair with
valuable time, so we think a good
shop pays good-interest on the mon
ey invested. lor repairing harness
we use copper rivets and burrs, and
find them to give better service than
any other kind we have ever tried,
for they will stay as long as the
leather lasts, and will not rust it out
like steel ones.
To set a loose box in a wheel, take
the box out, lay a piece of an old bag
over the kub, then drive box, bag
and all through, and it will run tirue
and last for a long time.
Once we broke a plow handle,
when we were in a hurry to finish a
field we wanted to plant next day. I
took the plow to the workshop, cut
off two pieces of old tire about the
width of the handle, drilled four
holés in them, bolted one on each
side. In less than an hour the plow
was ready for use again, thus saving
a trip to town that might have taken
all the rest of the day, as one cannot
always get a job done as soon as you
get to the shop. Several times we
have broken the mowing machine
and repaired it at home and saved
much.—J. A. Saunders, Rhode Isls
and, in American Cultivator,
Profit in Planted Forest,
. Both soil and eclimatic conditions
in Illincis are favorable to tree
growth, as it is well shown by the
tact that over 180 species are found,
and many introduced species thrive.
‘Comparatively few species, however,
those which will furnish posts or
pole}p at an early age, can be grown
on {he better classes of soils in com
petition with better farm erops.
During a recent field season the
Forest Service made a field study to
ascertain the kinds of trees bhest
adapted to planting in the prairie
sections of the State. Over 100 pian
tations were examined and more
than 20,000 trees were measured as
a basis for cetermining the rate of
grewth and the value of the planta
tion. The yield of posts or poles per
acre was computed for the planta
tions examined, and conservative
prices were assigned in order to find
their present value. Detailed results
and consequent recommendations are
embodied in Circular 81 of the For
est Service, “Forest Planting in Illi
nois,” which will be sent free upon
application to the Forester, United
States Department of Agriculture,
Washington, D. C.
Plantations ‘which show a net an
nual income at three per cent. of $4
an dere or more ave regarded as com
metially successful. Judged by this
standard. the only species which
ould have paid throughout are ca
talpa, with an average return of
$5.18 per acre, and larch, with a re
turn of $4.38 per acre.
With catalpa, ten plantations out
of fifteen whose products were com
puted have paid more than $4 per
acre, while two of these have paid
$9.356 and $16.70, respectively,
Though the average indicated return
from catalpa is but little more than
that from larch, it is often prefer
able to plant catalpa. It grows a
trifie faster, can be utilized for posts
and poles at a smaller size, and its
wood is more durable, Besides ca
talpa will grow well on ground that is
too wet for larch, or which is flooded
so often that success with farm
crops is uncertain.—lndiana Farmer,

can sit or lean upon it when tired.
Below this I have a pail large enough
to hold a hall of binder twine. As
soon as 1 have an armful of corn it
is compressed with the device shown
and tied ready for »utting in the

Fancy Waist With Deep Girdle.
Everything that gives the short
waist line angd the consequent Empire
suggestion is greatly in vogue just
now, and this blousé is one of the
prettiest yet to have appeared. Tt
includes a garniture which can be
made from the filet or from all-over
lace, as in this instance, or from silk
or from contrasting material embroid
ered or braided with soutache, or,
indeed, frfom almost anything that
fancy may dictate, The little trim
ming of balls is an effective o© and
greatly in vogue, but that finisn also
is optional, for the blouse itself is
adapted to all the thinner, fashion
able fabrics which can be tucked and
pleated so successfully. The sleeves
are novel and distinctive and the
blouse is altogether one of exception
al charm. 1t is made with a lining
and the girdle is attached to it so
that the entire garment is closed in
visibly at the back.
The waist consists of the founda
tion lining, the blouse and sleeve
portions, cut in one, and the garni
ture. The chemisette is faced onto
the lining, and when a transparent
effect is desired this last is cut away
| beneath. The sleeve linings, too, are
faced to form the cuffs, but the lining
Lcan be of chiffon or other transparent
material when sé%iething very dainty
is desired. The pretty shaped col
ilur finishes the neck of the blouse
