Ahead f tha Time. Tin livtng In the wrong age," pin tied the tittle old man who wis sitting outside of the postofDee whittling a ech stone. "How's that?" queried the horseshoe alesman.

"Wy," replied the clerk, la aurpriaa, "our comic page is conceded ta be the funniest out" "That's Just It, young man ; it Is too funny. Why, last night while I waa reading some of the Jokes la tha kitch en, I started to laugh, and, by guan, I laughed so loud I tilted fay chair to far back, upset six Jars of goaaaberry preserves, knocked down the store and killed the cat. Then tha old woman came near killing me; ao I reckon you better stop the paper." Tfcere Are Others. "Say, Ilarker, I beard you telling your wife the other morning that yon were going Bshlng." "Sure, old chap. And I bagged some of the finest trout you ever saw." "Bagged? How Improper! The ex pression 'bagged' belongs to hunters." "But It fits my case exactly. Tou see I didn't catch anything with my lines, ao on my wny home I bought a string of fish and put thetn in a paper bag." Trouble of aa Aniltir, "I thought you had gone to raising bees," said the man from the city. "I don't see any sign of them around here." "I had half a dozen colonies of the finest bees I could get," answtred tha suburbanite, "and a wnole library of lit erature on bee raising; but they swarmed one day, and while I was looking through any books to find out what was the proper thing to do when bees swarmed the blam ed things flew away, and I've never seen 'em since."

God is just; therefore sin caunot go unpunished. But God Is also merciful, for He knov eth the frame of mortal man, and mer cy pleads before God for the mitiga tion of the sinner's Innocence.

The cheapest and best way to dehorn cattle is when the calves are small. Use caustic potash. Pastured horses, especially If not sound ar.l well, should be sheltered during cold storms of uny sort If long protracted. Hens ofteu suffer lu mldmuuner for want of gravel when eonflued In n yard. Throw lu sods, cracked bone, shell or atone, and give water freely. If an orchurd is on a decline, It Is nn Indication that the food supply in the soil Is being exhausted. Fertilizers should be applied, and thorough culti vation should be given to It. Keep the pigs growing. Pumpkins are fine for them In September. Separate, from the others, those you intend to fatten for early markets. Feed the soft corn to these, with ground rye. When the weather becomes cold, al falfa is not n sufficient food. It should have some grain fed with it. It makes the pigs grow long and lean, but less corn needs to be fed than when other pasture Is used. Sow four acres of ground In clover or alfalfa. Have the four acres in two lots, so that when the hogs nre In one lot the clover can grow up In the oth er. Then change them alternately from one lot to the other. Because of the relish with which bogs eat new corn, and the ease with -which it Is hauled and fed, there Is danger of overfeeding. The corn, be ing soft and immature, will soon throw them out of condition. Keep clean, fresh water where the chicks can have access to It at all times. Filthy or Impure water Is often the cause of bowel trouble and other ailments In little chicks, nnd "an ounce of prevention Is worth more than a pound of cure." No decided improvement has been made in the past twenty years In cook ing for harvest hands or threshers. The cookstove Is Just as hot now as It was then. The kitchen duties are Just as laborious and withal the housewife's duties are very much the same. In hauling up hay with a horse, If the horse Is turned In a circle all the time, it will untwist or king the hay rope. The driver of the horse should turn gee at one end and haw at the other tum, making a figure eight move ment, and there will be no kinks put In the rope. Every year farmers lose heavily from late spring plnntlng. Many of these are good farmers, but nre unexpectedly de layed with spring work by a combina tion of bad weather, sick horses and a scarcity of help. The matter of readi ness Is nn Important factor in the busi ness of corn production. Many would-be isjultry raisers prob ably do not realize the demand for feathers. The body feathers of chick ens and turkeys sell at from 5 to 40 cents per pound, nnd duck and geese feuthers at from 35 to 50 cents per pound. When thinking of raising poul try do not forget the feathers. The man who puts off making bis clover hay until It Is ripe Is reaping the harvest of his mistake. He not only has a lot of hay that is lacking In value, but he Is taking seme of the vitality that should be there for per fecting the coming seed crop. Some fnrmers make ripe clover hay and then wonder why they can't get a crop of 6eed. The man who Is denying himself the lise of a low-wheeled wagon Is shoot ing wide of the murk. He brings upon himself some very heavy lifting that should be avoided. A man ought not to lift unythlng heavy that he can raise In some other manner. Back oil ap pears to be cheap when a man Is ten der In years, but when old age comes It may be needed. Every farmer should have a straw berry patch. It will pay, If not In cash, it will be lu the enjoyment. Anyone can raise strawberries 011 land suita ble for corn. Fertilize It well, plow deeply nnd drug thoroughly. You can not get land In too good shape. Set plants on a cool, rainy day. I'so water and shade your plants. Almost any of the lending kinds sold by nurseries, preferably near your home, are good. In behalf of the good housewife we wish to say that If the farm proprietor has all tin! latest machinery mid con veniences for doing the outdoor work he should see tint she Is provide In ns largo u measure with labor-saving conveniences In doing the work of the household, n handy supply of dry wood nnd kindling, ample cupboard room, n first-class cook stove with good draft and other aids that contribute so mu'ii lu lightening the burden of household duties. You man there, how Is the woman of the house provided In these respects? There is no eipilty in com pelling the wife to go seven or eight rods for cobs, coal and water, when you ride the gang plow or oicrato the lever on an up-to-date manure spread r. Exchange. Mullen I'ulalura. The Infection of the potatoes with the fungus which produces rot occurs ciiieiy, If not entirely, In the field be f.j:e ('Igglicr: the Infection Is usually t.!c re-u!t of ili-ci.-cd vita's and In most cniev f.;. disease is not transmitted dl rti.'Jy fi:n the vine, but Indirectly through the soli : also, potatoes may be Infected directly lu the field front spores Introduced Into the soil the pre ceding year.

Alfalfa In the Eaat. A rejort from the Vermont RgrlcuV tural experiment stations shows that of a series of attempts to raise this Innwrtant crop In that State, 3d per cent were successful,' and that GS per cent of these were in the Chaniplaln valley. The conclusion reached is that there Is reason foe the hope that al falfa may become acclimated to the Eastern States nnd raised successfully there, provided proper conditions as t soil And cultivation are supplied. Cora Meal Pork Not Cheap. At one time it was customary to measure the cost of pork by the price of com, nnd the usual estimate was ten pounds of ork for a bushel of corn, but lu recent yenrs it has been discov ered that other feeds can be used to advantage, nnd pork made more cheap ly with a variety than with corn alone. Experience has shown that the hog rel ishes the great variety of feeds usually produced on the farm, such as grass, rape, all kinds of clovers, defective and Immature fruits, bouse slops, skim milk, buttermilk, whey from cheese fac tory which, when fed In conjunction with the grain ration, make pigs grow faster and make weights at less cost than when compelled to subsist entire ly on corn. American Dairy t'rodnrti' Value. There were 12,147,304,500 pounds oi milk and 588,180,471 pounds of cream used lu 1004 lu the manufacture of 051, 278,141 pounds of butter, 313,095,290 pounds of cheese, and 308,4S5,182 pounds of condensed milk. These fig ures are pnrt of the census of manufac tures for 1905. The total cost of ma terials used In the Industry was ?142, 920,277, while the value of the pro ducts was $108,182,789, nn Increase of the former of 31.3 per cent and of the latter of 2-3.0 per cent. The number of establishments dropped from 9,242 to 8,92(1, while the capital Increased 30 per cent, to $47,255,050. There were 3,007 salaried officials nnd clerks and 15,557 engaged In the manufacture of these articles. These received salaries and wages amounting to $9,789,030. Bnrnlna; Oat Stamps. The following method of disposing of large stumps Is very efficacious and la bor saving. Whether It would be ap plicable to small hardwood stumps I do not know, but It Is worth a trial., The principle Is the same as In burn ing charcoal, and I presume would ap ply to any wood that would make char coal. To clear land of large stumps, dig a fair-sized hole down by the aide of stump and build a fire of pieces of good firewood, lnld snugly against the. stump. Gradually cover the fire with soil, und keep covered; if well started and kept covered by occoslonally throwing more soli on where it Is likely to break out, the flro will continue burning until the whole of the stump Is burned Into charcoal. On some of our large fir stumps, 10 or 12 feet across, the fire will burn two months or more, and follow roots down 10 or 15 feet underground. F. A. HAYES. Sweet Corn fur Hua-. Here is n suggestion that will be of much practical value at some time to every raiser of hogs : Not Infrequently it happens that ear ly in the fall, when green pasturage Is scarce, there seems to be nothing at hand to make a suitable ration for the hog. And It Is the demands of this period that sweet corn Is admirably adapted to fill. It matures much ear lier than field corn; and long after It has passed the table stage It affords a toothsome dainty for hogs. There is nothing like It to keep them In a thrif ty, growing condition. Another point In Ita favor Is that It makes a splendid food during the transition from succu lent pasturage to mature field corn later on. Sweet corn need not be fed lu large quantities; four or six ears with stalks to the average 100-pound pig Is sufficient, with the slop and other things usually fed. If the sweet corn patch Is inclosed, the pigs may safely he turned In It ; otherwise It should he cut and fed In the pasture. Manailnv the SmIII llnrrrl. To many persons mention of the word swill barrel presents a picture of an old, unsightly barrel, grease and dirt all over the outside, sediment In the bottom two or three Inches deep, and filth und mistiness tli over the In side. An unendurable stench such us to make approach to the barrel well nlght Impossible also associates Itself with the picture. Such unpleasant, disgusting associa tions need not cling uround the swill barrel. It Is not necessary thut ull sorts of nasty material he placed In the barrel In the first place, nor Is It nec essary that It be allowed to stand there a week ut u time. It Is not alone un necessary that this condition prevail, but It Is absolutely menacing to the health of the animals expected to con sume such utlsciilled food. Such filtblness breeds disease, and not infrequently lots of pigs Is the re sult of feeding this kind of food. Cases have beeu broaght to the attention of the writer this spring wliere animals have contracted troublesome infectious dlseuwv, such us Indigestion, scouriug and the swelling of joints, for no other reason than that they had been fed ou swill that was t-jo old uud add.
