An Atchison girl of fifteen trots un V the morning, eatH breakfast which 1 - ar toother bus prepared, goes upstairs .nd lakes care of lior room and then rocs downtown, sometimes taking two faonra. to buy a spool of thread. She aata dinner which her mother ban pro feared, wears clothes hor mother has wade, spends the afternoon reading rtory books or gadding with her Crlendx, eats supper her mother bus prepared nnd spends tho evening with Inr girl frlonds. She lias done notli fag wicked all day, and hor mother is satisfied that she Is bringing her up tlsht. Hut Is she? Atchison Globe. A Wiitniiii'a Chntice. Every woman hns tho signs which tell tho experienced whether she will live to bo very old. Hero are some of the supposed slgiiB of longevity. The weman who appears taller in propor tion when sitting down thtui when rtandlug has a good chance of long life. ft the body Is long In proportion to the ftm linnt-t- itinera nnd lln-rHvo insula are large.

Out lf.n million persons 225 Woiiien reach the fine of I no years, Only 82 men In tho Hiitno number are privileged to see a century of life. One of the secrets of long life Is to have plenty of sloop, nd other rules uro: To sloop on the right side, keep the bedroom window open nil night, (uko u bath of the sumo temper ature as the body every inortiing, don't havo pots in tho living rooms, tuko dally cxorelso In the open air, watch tho thrco D's drinking water, damp ness and drains; limit your ambitions, keep your temper, worry less, work more, rldo loss, walk more, eat less, chow more, preach less, practice more. HiiIch for tho Maid. Tho rule of "n placo for everything and everything in its place" must be enforced. Tho tnald must keep her kitchen cupboards in as good order us her chlnn closets, and if she docs in a little while site will become so famil iar with tho location of each utensil and each picco of chlnn, or glass that she could llnd It In the dark. There fdiould lie no liberty allowed of keep ing a thing In one placo at one time ami In another sonic other time. This may seem a trllle, but nil these trifles do their part in creating an orderly anil systematic habit of mind. Oo not permit tho maid to leave the dishes standing around utter they have been washed, but teach her thnt It is ns es sential to put these nwny as soon us they are clean ns It Is for her to wash ho1' dish towels and hang them out to dty once a day. Try to cultivate system in your maid in other ways. Impress it upon her that she must let you know ns soon as (ho supply of any nrtlcle Is exhausted and not wait until there is need for it again before she discloses to you the t that It Is wanted. To help her in this hang in your kitchen a small pad of paper ,ind a pencil nnd Instruct her that as oon as she uses the Inst of any provision she Is to writo the nnine of tills on the slip thnt it may serve ns a memorandum when you go to mar ket. If your maid's memory Is poor, en courage her to make notes of the Items of the work she has to perform. In a way this may not develop her memory so well as charging her mind with the details, but there are many of us wIiobo remembrances need n crutch now and then. Harper's Baar. To Make Children Truthful. Tho best means of encouraging truthfulness in children la a problem which taxes tho Judgment of tho best among us. The road to truthfulness can only be found through mutual sympathy a sympathy which enables tho mother to know what demands she can and ought to make upon her child's obedience to her higher will, and which tenches the child uncomplainingly to accent her wishes as law. To win this trust, a mothor's correction should never outrun her love, and she may well make it u golden maxim never to let the sun go down upon her wrath. If a child once feels that the day has gone by with a loss or lessening of the mother's love, the influence of the mother for good Is dangorously weak encd; a link is Biiapped in tho chain of truthfulness, nnd a precious idol Is In danger of being hopelessly shattered. undue Harshness is one or tnose irre parable errors wo are sure to regret; mothers should, therefore, tomper their reproofs with love. Tho responsibilities of motherhood are indeed heavy, but they are not beyond their powers, and lt ,h wiumi a miiuwi Mcupe iu comm.. IL I - ...lil. I .. At t ..

DrcHMiinikcrw' Kitting Stand.

Tim gage and marker for garments Illus trated herewith Is not the first attempt that lias been made to solve the prob lem In a mechanical way, ns It should be done, but the introduction of the platform, that makes its use so much more convenient, Is a decided step in advance. The measuring bar revolves around the central stand support, and tho guide arm, with Its scale, Is adjust able with groat accuracy. The marker may consist of only u steel indicator, or it may carry a piece of chalk to leave a graphic record of the llnMied measurements.

Don't fail to see the happiness in the lives of tollers with whom you come In contact. Don't fail to make now- resolutions when old ones form themselves into bad habits. Don't lot a day pass without adding at least one stone to the building of your character. Automatic Poultry Feeder. An Illinois farmer, evidently a poul- ry raiser, lias patented tho uutomatlc loultry feeder which Is shown In tho IhiBtrution. As soon as daylight np- tears, chickens are about and ready lor their morning meal, and to pro luce good stock their wants must bo itteuded to. Tills means that the loultry raiser must be awake early in Jio morning" to. feed them, and this jutomatle feeder is designed to do lt lor him. II consists of a hopper liav- ng an outlet, this outlet being closed iy means of a partition or diaphragm, vhlch is Independent of tho walls of 'Jie hopper and being plvotally mount id at its lower end. This partition or dvoted door can be adjusted to any AUTOMATICALLY I'KKDS 1'OUI.TItY, ntermediate point, so that the enpuci y of tho hopper may be varied and m unobstructed discharge maintained. k latch arm Is connected to the pivot- id door, this latch arm being con xolled by an electro-magnet. The hit ler is operated by a clock, so that the lontents of the hopper can bo emptied it any predetermined time. Home-Made Subnoil Plow. A very serviceable and practical sub ollor may lie constructed with but. llt lo work. The beam and handles are ho same as any other plow stock. Tho wo uprights which support the plow toint can bo mado from pieces of old vagon tire, each two feet long. The oint bur should be about the same Dngth and about two inches square rom one upright attachment to the ther. The front end should be made rlth good steel, well tempered and irawn to a point which is best if made vide and flat. The uprights are at ached lo the beam by stirrups or lamps made of Ihree-quartor-incli iron oil. Tho front upright should be sharp incd on its front side, which will ag ist in cutting the old roots and thick nay. This plow will break the bottom of a I)Mi:-MAI)K SUliSOILKIl. urrow made by any two-horse break- tig plow. If made for one-horse, it hould bo constructed lighter, and need tuve but a single upright. It is espe- ially adapted to loosening up sod rhlch has become very solid from long ramping. Farm nnd Home. Ivecn the Yoiiiir Stock Growing, rho calves, the colts, the pigs, all rom the time they were put In winter nnrters until spring, should suitor no essation in their growth. The calves r yearlings and colts should be kept teadlly vigorous nnd growing; not sorely holding their own, but increas ng in size and proportion; not neees arlly the laying on of fat, but tho en- argement of frame and muscle, with a tealthy vigor. About Suuar Hcctu. A report conies that tho percentage if sugar in beets has been largely In reused through a selection of seed. A i)W years ago the percentage of sugar vas 12 per cent; last year It Is said o have run from 15 to 18 per cent 'coplo who aro posted say that sugar aanufaetured from beets Is not near- r so sweet as thnt manufactured from tine. The Colt's Feet. When tho colt is growing, the hoofs hould lo looked to occasionally to seo C Hiy not require trimming. l, I Water for Farm Animals. It is admitted that water is osscntial to the well-being of liuiniins, and if this is so, why should an) one presumo to think that animals can get nlona with little or no water? Yet that In the plan on which many farmers work. hid 4UJU uumi-a ai.( iicumi' properly watered, but tho other farm animals aro given llttlo water. In a series of experiments carried on by th writer a number of years ago lt wai found that sheep, swine nnd poultry gave us nearly 20 per cent hotter re turns when regularly and carefully wa torod than when the water was given but occasionally. That Is, the egg supply waB Jargox from tho hens, and the sheep and hoga kept to tho desired weight. More than this, we found there was less trouble with diseases, particularly those that had the stomach for their base of at, tack. It is now a regular practico ta give nil tho animals on the farm rog ular supplies of clean water. In water ing the sheep nnd swine, troughs arfl provided and kept for the purposo, After the animals have drunk, the troughs are removed, so that there il no chance of them being defiled. II will pay every time to water all farm animals regularly and with clean wa tor. Indianapolis News. HurvcHtiiiK CowpeiiH. The Now Jersey Agricultural Export mont Station used the following moth od for harvesting and curing cowpcai needed for certain experiments: They were cut with a mowing machine and allowed to wilt thoroughly. Tills re quired two days. They were then raked in windrows and placed In small cocks made narrow and about tin same diameter throughout in ordor to Insure an oven cure. Tho hay remain ed In these cocks for five days. Thi cocks wore then turned over for q couple of hours to dry the bottoms, which had taken up moisture from th soil. Tile liny was then hauled to thfl barn in excellent condition. The leaves retained their green color, and nearly all were preserved. The hay, oven nl this time, felt a little damp to th touch, and to one who had never had experience with the crop, it doubtlesa would have appeared unlit to storo, but it saved perfectly and was eaten greedily by the animals in tho tosl with scarcely any waste. An average crop of cowpeas showed a yield of tw4 and one-half tons per acre. Horai Monthly. Useful New Insects. Among the useful bug importations of tho Agricultural Department, be sides the ladybird, introduced success fully among the California fruit grovot to destroy the dreaded San Jose scale, a small parasite comes from South Af rica which In like manner destroys tin black scab, another formidable pesl doing great injury to the l'aclllc coast orange crop. The newcomer goes at its work In a businesslike manner, and promises to be the means of rescuing, almost from destruction an importnnf ndustry. The Importation of protect) ive bugs Is sure to expand, as theli potencies aro made known and occa sion for them rises. American Culti vator. The Amateur Poiiltrymnn. The amateur who is just starting into the poultry business must bo will ing to be;;in at tho bottom and work up. IIo will encounter many obsta cles, but if he has a sufficient amount of stick-to-lt-lveness in his makeup ho will succeed. Ills rise may he slow, but there is room at the top.

Applotree Ha rues of Wisconsin, and by careful assorting and handling was able to sell them for $1,2 in. I toll you there Is nothing like systematic sorting nnd careful handling to make apples pay. Poultry Yard Picking. Cheap food Is always at. the expense of quality. Quality in food for poultry is what gives It value. No food Is cheap thnt does not bring paying results. Damaged food invites indigestion and various bowel troubles. Lack of grit when snow covers tho ground endangers tho flock's health. Provide plenty of nests whore tlior are many hens or pullets. Grit, either oyster shells or crushed granite, should bo kept under cover accessible to the poultry in all tho houses (luring tho winter. Keep tho cockerels and pullets sep arate until a couple of weeks before you commence saving eggs for hutch lug. Hoth will be the better for tha oluu. i it
