Chicks in the Garden.
Tne small chicks can run in the
garden just as well as not. They
will do no damage and the vermin
they will pick up will help the gar
den. Place the coops or brooders
alongside the garden fence and make
a few openings through the fence to
admit the chicks. They are safe
while in the garden, too.—Farmers’

It is too late to treat him, he has

# Comfort For Hens. !
The hen that is kept under com
fortable conditions will produce more]
eggs that if given no care in that
respeet. Cool quarters at night in‘
summer correspond with warm quar-!
ters in winter; that {s, it is comfort
that assists in securing desired re
sults. The material used on the fioorl
and in the nests should not be bulky. ‘
Cut straw makes not only excellent
nests, but provides Jtter for the floor
of the poultry house, and assists in

Hay For Hens. |
Possibly there are fine bits of pea
hay,or hay from alfalfa, or clover,
lying about in the barn. If these are
soaked up with hot water, they will
make happy hens and aid the egg
business. Do not feed the hay wet.
Use just enough water to moisten the ]
leaves and see what a nice color they
become, If desired, bran can be
added to the hay to dry it and to sup
ply mare egg feed. Cornmeal may
also be used with the hay. Do not
feed long bits of hay and do not fail
to feed it in clean troughs. Have the
mixture as cool as blood temperature
before feeding it. — Progressive
Farmer,
Ropy Milk, i
Concerning this trouble, which is
caused by an outside germ which gets -
into the milk after it is drawn, Pro-;
fessor Farrington recommends the
following: |
The best way to{overcome this
troubje is to carefully’wash the cow's
udder and brush her legs, afterwards
drying both with a clean towel; then
the milker should wash his hands,
thoroughly steam the pail into which
he milks, and after throwing away
the first streams of milk drawn, milk
the cow with dry hands into this clean
pail. The milk should- be protected
as carefully as possible from dust,
and then strained into cans, in
which it is to be transported, or in
which it is set for cream rising. The
strainer cloth, carrying cans and sep
arator, if one is used, should be given
an extra washing and scalding in or
der to destroy any of these germs
which have been the cause of the
ropy milk. There is no doubt that
this trouble may be overcome in this
way, and the success cne has in doing
it will depend entirely upon how
carefully he protects the milk from
the germe, which must get into the
milk that is drawn from the cow.
| The Top Notch Farmer.
’ That farmer or stockman who han
| dles the best stock and feeds the best
is the top ncteh farmer, the one that
| gets the most out of the business, and
!you never hear him growling around
and saying that there is nothing to
:be made in farming. There are a few
_of this kind in nearly every commun
ity, model farmers, whom we would
all do well to follow. Right here let
m 2 state that most of us would be
greatly benefited for our business if
we would spend more of our time
with our neighbors and these model
farmers. Probably the workings of
one of these farmers, with whom the
writer has had considerable dealing
in the capacity of a live stock trader,
would be of interest to the readers.
My first deal with him was for his
spring fed hogs and they were so good
that I reached higher than usual for
them. These hogs were fine blooded
Polands and they all look=d the same
age and as if they were all out of the
same mold. They were real fat and
toppy, the kind that any man ought to
be proud of. And he was proud be
cause he produced the best in the
neighborhood and received the top
price. He says that when he began
with them he was surprised that they
kept in fine fix and fattened on so
much less feed than the nondescript
type that was so common.” No other
kind for him now. I happened
around again in time to buy the next
litter and they were fine. He had
another litter, just come, of the same
type and all about the same age. The
sire cost a lot of money, but it was
well spent, for he was a fine indi
vidual. His brood sows were selceted |
mothers, gentle, large and long. |
The other stock on the farm was |
of the same good quality, The horses
and mwes were of a type that at
tracted buyers and included a high
priced harness mare and the toppy
mule colts of his own raising. His
cnttle showed good judgment in the
selection, and the cows for home use
numbered only two, but I have seen
half a dozen that altogether could not
make such a fine showing in milk and
butter. Besides furnishing his table
with such fine dairy products, enough
was sold to meet most of his store
bills, lln the production of lambs and |
wool he ranked well up towards the
front, for he had tried to make up
for whatever was lacking in the qual
ity of his ewes, in extra care and
feeding. Most of the ewes in tegs
‘section are from the mountain coun
ties and with good care and feeding
~may be made to produce toppy lambs.
' Our model farmer uses good sires,
feeds his ewes at lambing time, and
together with blue grass, he is able
to produce lambs that are toppy. So
|muoh for the stoek, The farm is
{made to produce feeds nearly all to
‘gether, but wheat must figure in the
imtauon and it is* of good enough
| quality to sell for seed wheal at about
twenty cents premium. The corn,
though used for feeding only, is of
the same good quality.—E. W. Jones,
in Agricultural Epitomist.
Ambassador Tower's Popularity.
At the Philadelphja Club a Phila
delphian adverted to Charlemagne
Tower's great popularity with the
Kaisor and the German court. “Mr.
Tower has a pretty wit. My sister,
who lives in Berlin, tells me that the
Kaiser, inviting Mr. Tower to dine
with him intormally, called him in
the invitatiot ‘the most engaged man
in Berlin.’ Mr. Tower in his reply
said: ‘The most engaged man in
Rerlin will be but too happy to dine
with the most engaging one.’ *

The marriage market (or fair)
Which was held recently at Ecaussines
In Belgium has many counterparts
elsewhere, e
In several of the more remote Swiss
cantons, for example, there is held
What is known as the feast of the
garlands. The marriageable maidens
assemble at sunset, sing, dance and
make merry. Bach wears a chaplet
of flowers on her forehead and carrfes |
a nosegay tied with bright colored

The famous Tunis marriage mart,
of which so much has been written,
is held twice a year, in the spring
and the autumn. The Tunisian girls
attend in their hundreds, each with
her dowry in coin and jewelry dis
posed about her person. The *“golden
girdle of maidenhcod” encircles her
waist, and in it is an unsheathed dag
ger. When this is gently removed
by a passing gallant and presently re
turned it means that a proposal has
been made. A
A prettier custom prevails among
the Ocraon maidens, who at stated
intervals assemble in the market
place. In front of each is a lighted
lamp, emblem of conjugal fidelity. A
young man feels attracted. He gent
ly blows upon* the flame, extinguish
ing it. The girl relights it; it is a
rejection. If she leaves it alone the
offer is acceptable. )
Even in England these curious mar
ketg are not unknown, although they
are not openly acknowledged as such.
One has been held on St. Martha's
Hill, Surrey, on each recurring Gecod
Friday during some-centuries. Amd
the statute and mon fairs that are
still celebrated in variois rural lo

MOTHER AND CHILD
Both Fully Nourished on Grape-Nuts.
The value of this famous food is
shown in many ways, in addition to
what might be expected from its
chemical analysis.
‘Grape-Nuts food is made of whole
wheat and barley, s thoroughly
baked for many hours and contains
all the wholesome ingredients in
these cereals. {
It contains also the phosphate of ‘
potash grown in the grains, which

her baby at the same time. * She
writes: Bk.s

. The Best Hammers.
In a recent address - before the
Utica Chamber of Commerce Sec
retary Cortelyou told the story of a
manufacturer of hammers in central
New York, who, having been asked
how long he had made hammers, re
plied: “I have made them for twen
ty-eight years.” “Well, then,” said
the questioner, “you ought to be able
to make a pretty good hammer by

manufacturer's reply, “I never made
a pretty good hammer. I make the
best hammers in the United States.”
A SIMPLE SAFEGUARD IN BUY
ING PAINT.
Everybody should know how simple
and easy it is to avoid all uncertainty
in buying paint materials. There are
many so-called white leads on the
market, which contain chalk, zinc,
barytes, and other cheap adulterants.
Unless the property owner takes ad
vantage of the simple means of pro
tection afforded him by reliable white
lead manufacturers, he runs great
risk of getting an inferior and adul
terated white lead.
It is to protect the paint-buyer
against fraud and adulteration that
National Lead Company, the largest
makers of genuine Pure White Lead,
place their famous “Dutch Boy Paint
er” trademark on every keg of their
product, an absolute guarantee of its
purity and quality. Anyone who wants
to make a practical test of white lead,
and who wants a valuable frec book
about painting, should address Na
tional Lead Company, Woodbridge
81dg.,, New York, and ask for test
equipment.

ROCKET TORPEDOES.
Germany Said to Fancy a Swedish
Military Invention.
Several years ago a Swedish army
officer devised a novel weapon. In
consisted of a case in the head of
which was a charge of dynamite or
guncotton. The contents were so
placed that an explosion woiuld follow
when the head of the missile hit any
thing hard. Provision for projecting
it was made not by firing it from a
gun or forcing it under water by au
tomatic mechanism. It was equipped
with a charge of powder in the lower
end, which behaved like the charge
in an ordinary skyrocket. It would
force its way upward in the air by the
violence of a stream of fire emitted
behind, or, more accurately, below.
To assist in steering it the torpedo
was supplied with a stick. When it
was to be dispatched it was mounted
on a light metal frame, which could
be so inclined as to give it the neces
sary angle.
Nothing has been heard of the in
‘vention for a long time, but a recent
report indicates that the German War
Department has secured the right to
use it. The British authorities also
studied the device, but did not think
enough of it to invest. From that
fact it may be inferred that there is
much exaggeration in the statement
that the torpedo “is the deadliest
weapon known.”
Colonel Unge, its author, was for a
time employed by the firm started by
Nobel, the inventor of dynamite. The
German cannon and armor plate con
structors, the Krupps, are said to
have secured the right to use it in
countries outside of Sweden.—New
York Tribune.
Licking the Editor,
In some portions of the United
States it has always been a favorite
pastime when a man was not satis
fied with what appeared in the local
paper to go and lick the editor. Some
unwise guy imported the scheme into
the Southwest recently. It was tried
in Ell Paso, and the editor is still
doing business, while the man who
wanted to lick him is buried in Okla
homa. Last week an Albuquerque
peliceman tried it. He was six inches
taller and weighed fifty pounds more
than the editor. The policeman was
taken to the hospital in an ambu
lance, and when he recovered con
sciousness the nurse gave “him a
message from the Mayor announcing
that he was fired from the police
force. It is probable that the editor
of the Liberal and Colonel Max Frost,
of the New Mexican, are about the
only editors in the Territory whom
it would be safe for an ordinary man
to try to lick.—Lordshurg Liberal.
