'"Well, bishop,' said the friend, Mid you come back "without making any pledges?' " 'Not exactly,' replied the bishop, 'but I only pledged $50,000.' " 'How much of thnt do you expect me to give'?' Inquired his host. "'Well, ubout a tenth,' said the bishop. " 'We're building three a day.'

When the house is a II re. It's like a body when disease begins to show, It's no time to talk but time to act delay is dangerous remove the cause of the trouble at once. "For a number of years," Bays a Kan sas lady, "I felt sure that coffee was hurting me, and yet, I was so fond of It, I could not give it up. I paltered with my appetite and of course yielded to the temptation to drink more. At last I got so bad that I made up my mind I must either quit the use of cof fee or die. "Everything I ate distressed me, and I suffered severely almost all the time with palpitation of the heart. I fre quently woke up In the night with the feeling that I was almost gons, my heart seemed so smothered and weak lu Its action that I feared it would stop beating. My breath grew short and the least exertion set me to panting. I slept but little and suffered from rheu matism. "Two years ago I stopped using the old klud of coffee and began to usa Tostum Food Coffee, and from the very first 1 began to Improve. It worked a miracle! Now I can eat anything and digest It without trouble. I sleep like a baby, and my heart beats full, strong and easily. My breathing has become steady and normal, aud my rheumatism has left me. I feel like another per son, and It Is all due to quitting cof fee and using Tostum Food Coffee, for I haven't used any medicine and none would have done any good as long as I kept drugging with coffi."

Tho chronicle of one of thr old Span ish travelers, published in l.V'.l, snys: "The people of Peru rat a tuberous root Which they call papns." The Span lards took this root to Spain, where It was grown as "the truffle 'root." The Italians very quickly adopted It Into their gardens and soon the Dutch were cultivating It with much the tninn seal that they displayed for tulips. Of Its Introduction Into Kngland. all' that we are mire of Is that In 15SI1 Sir Walter Raleigh was growing potatoes lu his Irish garden. Thomas Harlot In his account of Vir ginia name potatoes among tho roots that were found (trowing tht-re. saying that some of them were as big as a walnut and others considerably larger. This Virginia potato seems to havn been that which Is now known as the Irish while that grown In Pern Is mor likely to have been a sweet otnt. An other writer, describing the esculents of Virginia, says that the potato root Is thick, fat and tuberous, not differ ing much In shaiH from the sweet po tato, except that the roots are not so great or long, while some of them are round as a ball aud others nro oral, In the egg fashion. Early In the seventco-.lh century Ita lelgh's plantation of xtatoc8 had lcor repeated all over Ireland, but tho farm crs of Engliv.tf, moved by stublxirc prejudice ond possibly In pnrt by Jeal ottsy, iVslded that they would have notM.Tg to do with tho tuber. It wai e late as the time of Charles II, cer tainly It was after the Cromwelllan ev Isode, before the potato got any fall hold In English soil. Gilbert White, writing In 117S. sayi thnt potatoes had prevailed In his dls trlct for about twenty years and that this had been brought about "only bj means of premiums," but that potatoes were then much esteemed by the poor er people, who would scarcely have ventured to taste them In tho previous reign. Another writer speaks of them as n rather questionable product possibly to become hitmen food, "although rath er flatulent and acid for the human stomach." He recommends boiling them with dates and thinks that such n com bination would keep soul and body to gether for those who aro too poor to get anything better. The story of the Introduction of the Ktato Into France has been often told. The country people were so convinced of the poisonous nature of the tuber that they would not give It n trial. Its friends were actually mobbed for try ing to Introduce n food that would poison the people. The story goes in two ways. One of these tells us that King Louis XVI. wore potato blossoms In his buttonhole and had potatoes on his royal table nntH they Ikciuiio pnj) ular with the aristocratic classes. Another story recounts how a cele brated physician nnd philanthropist planted a field of potatoes, about which he placed a guard, with Instructions to allow just as much thieving as xssl &le. The poorer people, believing n veg etable that deserved such watchful care must be of great value, stole nearly the whole of them. In this way their prejudices were overcome nml n valua ble esculent added to their dietary. Independent. lllirh Bock Wolf n rte-. Our esteemed fellow citizen, High Back Wolf, was seen on our streets l-.vontly. Mr. Wolf was accompanied by hi. two wives. High is a good-natured Indian, with bow legs, hooked nose and humpish back, which latter physical peculiarity In connection with his aggravated apin-tlte for raw dog suggested his name to his compatriots on the banks of the Washita. Mr. Woir was caught In the lurch when the government enacted tho one wife law for the Indians and found hi nisei f surrounded with two wives nnd twenty-four children. High grinned good naturertly. nnd consulted a lawyer to devise ways and means of reducing the wife surplus, but as there were no annals among the Indians to tell which wife was first attached to High Back and neither of them was willing to Jar loose from blsepee without legal process High said: "Ugh, heap much wire; heap lucky Injln." and began to hustle for extra dead wohaw and canines. Mrs. WJf. Jr., Is some four feet cross the breast, with height to match ; has dreamy black eyes and a cultured any of hlstlng her moccaslna over mud dy places on the Washita when wet weather conies op. We have never met the other Mrs. Wolf, but she Is described as being a dark complex loued, black haired, red face, high cheekbone sister, who neither chows tobacco nor drinks. The Wolf family are well thought of by their neigh bors. Arapahoe Bee. . Royal Debt to a Spider. On the celling of one of the rooms In Sana Soucl, the world renowned palace of Frederick the Great, Is paint ed a great spider with Its web. The origin of this strange decoration Is as follows : This apartment was the great king's breakfast room and adjoined his bed '.'hamber. Every morning when his majesty entered the room he was ac customed to find a cup of chocolate, but on one occasion Just as he was about to drink he thought of something he had forgotten aud returned to- ills' bedroom. When he again entered the breakfast room his inaJcRty discovered that o great spider had Uropjied from the celling luto the cup and he natur ally cried out for fresh duxxilute to be prepared. The next moment the king was star tled by the report of a pistol. No sooner had the cook received the order than he blew out his brains. Not be cause the king had refused the choco late did he do this, but because he had thought himself discovered. It was In remembrance of this narroyv escuie that his majesty ordered the spider with Its web to be painted. on the celling.

J' Fifteen cents Invested In harness re pairs will often prevent a five dollar runaway or perhaps n broken neck. Persons suffering from any dlsca? or who have been In contact with con tagion, should keep away from the rows and the milk room. Mating should be more than Just sending to get a rooster or some liens. If the breeding Is to be successful, the mating she.uld have some object In view. The labor of the dairyman Is a never-ending cue. He feeds the cow to make the calf and then feeds the calf to make a cow, and thus It goes on forever. It does not take as long to scoop out a load of corn as It does to husk It, but It requires more back muscle and greater endurance than It does to gath er in the ears. Look for brains as well as feet, limbs or body when buying a horse. An ani mal that is sound iu every mem!cr but has not a level head Is nevr a pleas ant horse nnd seldom n valuable one. The small farm with the small herd is vastly better than a large farm with a large herd, lteca(ise the small farm will do more In proportion than the largo c,ne. Celery should be earthed up well. If It Is not to 1m? blanched, between boards. Gather the stalks together in your hand or tie a string loosely around them aud then draw Just sulllelent soil to the plants to keep them upright and slight ly compact. Ln the matter of raising a corn crop soils are much like men In the work Which Is assigned them, a. soil of mod erate or rather low fertility giving bet ter results when there arc two rather than when there aw three or four stalks iu the hill. One good thing can be said of n strawstack hog house. It does not have a foul smell, as many hog bouses do. A hog will keep Its bed clean If given a chance, but It does not have reasoning powers that will enable If to escape the extremes of heat and cold usually r'-v.iud In a straw-stack bed. When the orchard trees begin to lock horns one Is ::t a loss to know what to do. It Is Irird work to cut out trees where there are too many, nnd yet that seems to be the cure. There are sev eral ways of cutting them out. The rows may run regularly, diagonally or any way to keep them from "locking horns." A simple nail puller can be easily made from une-quarter-inch Hat file that has survived its usefulness. A convenient size is o:ie Inch wide, one quarter Inch thick and one foot long. It should be heated ml formed like a hammer claw. One of its chief uses is In taking down barbed wire fence and removing tin roofing. Moldy corn fodder may be eaten by stock if they don't have anything else to sntisfy their appetites. Nevertheless that does not mean that such fodder Is as good as bright fodder. If you have .'veral ricks of good, bright fod der on hand you can feel that you are blessed a great deal more than some of your neighbors. A garden owner says: I have often destroyed cabbage worms by throwing road dust over them, also with tansy tea, but this year both failed and my cabbage was nearly ruined, when a neighbor recommended snlt water, which proved a success. Put a cup of salt In a pall of water and when dis solved, wet the cabbage with It 'and you will soon be rid of the worms. Thirty billion, noj million, ftOT thou sand feet tills was the total cut of lumber In the Vnlted States during 1905. These figures were compiled by the Forest Service In co-opcratlon with the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association, and are believed to be as nearly correct as Is possible to gatTier. They were compiled from the return of 11,600 establishment. The estl mated value of this product Is five bun dred million dollars. In the klud of lumber yellow pine led, and walnut foots the list, the total cut of the lat ter being only 2i),8M feet. Pruning- I'eaeh Treea. As the result of experiments at the Massachusetts experiment station, the following would seem to tie the best method of peach tree pruning: 1. Prune peach trees moderately, re moving not more than one-third to one half the previous year's annual growth, when the wood has been Injured by freezing. 2. When only the fruit buds aro killed, the wood being uninjured and the trees In good condition, prune Re verely, cutting back the annual growth to two or three buds. It may be expe dlent to cut some branches back even nto two or three-year-old wood. ('OH of Soft-Shell Kb a a. Hens that acquire the habit of laying soft-shell eggs should Is? watched very carefully In order to break them of It. There are two causes for soft eggs. One Is feeding too much stimulating food; tho other, not enough shell-forming material ' being furnished. Too much spiced food and meat Is general ly found to lu the chief cause, aud If -1 IM'IIM II II IfrV A ' Vti -.

If the hens have been overfed they will show It by the lack of eagerness with which they eat new food. After yon are satisfied that they have been fed too much, reduce the supply and add a little rpsom salts to t'ulr drinking water for about four days. Grit or crushed oyster shells should lie fed If want of lime Is the trouble. Stornae llonae for Applea. Kcplylng to a correspondent who wanted to know how to construct a house for Ftorlng apples, the Country tientlenian gives the following advice: "A house for storing apples should be made as nearly air tight as possi ble. Set the sills In mortar, and do It well. lA't the floor lie- double, with sheathing paper letvecn the two thicknesses of boards. Double-board the outside and use paper between. Cell up on the Inside, filling In letwecn with sawdust. Do not put In any win dows unless they are covered with tight shutters. Should the weather at any time lie warm, open the doors and windows at night, and close tightly In the morning. The main secret of keeping apples Is an even temperature, ns nenr the freezing point ns possible. not below It; keep them dry, and do no; permit circulation of air." 1)troylnir rakbaare Worma. Farm, stock and Home gives the fol lowing method of destroying cabbage worms: Simply sprinkle the flour of sulphur freely on the cabbage. Fill the cover of a baklg powder can with small nail holes, like n pepper box, fill the can with sulphur nnd use for a sifter. Do not wait until the worms appear on the cabbage before apply ing It, but begin with It as soon as the first white butterflies are seen circling over the cabbage patch. Immediately after a rain or while the cabbages are wet with dew sift sulphur over them, well down among the leaves, two or three times a week. If there Is neither rains nor dew, wet the cabbage with a watering pot or sprinkle with n whisk broom and pall of water, 11s the cab bages must be wet so the sulphur will adhere to them. It destroys the -eggs, also the worms. We never failed to have line cabbage, free from, worms, when all our neighbors who did not use our plan had their cabbage destroyed by worms. Seedn and Weed. I'liclean seed has more to do with the distribution of weeds than all other causes combined. These are brought upon our farm from garden and field seeds from foreign countries. Russian flaxseed Is responsible for the introduction of the Russian thistle, which first appeared uihiii a single farm, nnd now covers over 40,(HK) square miles of the 1'nlted States. Al falfa, ls'et, turnip and other field nnd garden seeds Imported from Eur!' are the potent cause of the contamina tion of our lands with farm weeds. Nor are the fanners of1 this country at all particular In saving their seeds, fields containing weeds often being set aside for a seed crop, insuring the foulest seeds lu many cases. And then. In the purchase of seeds, the farmer Is not careful to buy pure s(ed only, but plants whatever some dealer offers him. I'ntll these methods nre done away with we must expect to have new, pernicious weeds constantly appearing among our crops. lieepluu' 'lab on t'ow. A sympathetic aud accurate record of each and every cow in a dairy herd 14 valuable for many reasons. First, the owner determines which animal to retain und which to weed out. Every cow showing n deficient bolnnce sheet under average conditions should be sold to the butcher at once. Second, it en courages accuracy and system. Third, It enables the feeder to Judge the com parative value of different feeds. Fourth, If a cow Is not doing properly, the fact Is at once noticed on her milk sheet and the nesessary changes may be made to restore the animal to her proper condition. Fifth, it furnishes a good way of checking careless or indif ferent milkers. Sixth, It bIiows any It regularity, effect of curly or late milk ing, effect of high or low temperature, effect of exposure to cold or storms and the effect of drinking Ice-cold water. Last, aud most Important, the daily milk record tells exactly ench month Just what the cows are doing. No dairy con bo successfully conducted without it. Keeping an accurate record is one of the most important parts of the busi ness. Growth of t'aelesa Animal Uraana. In many animals there are certain organs which, useful In their earlier stages, have apparently been so greatly dee!oied as to become rather hin drances. The horns of certain deer, for exauiple, useful weapons of defense when smaller, have become so large as rather to handicap the animals In the struggle for life. The huge over gtown teeth, or tusks, of certain of the boar family may be cited as further ex amples. These are sometimes explained as organs which have been more useful In their present state uuder former dif ferent conditions, and which have per sisted through heredity. In the Amer ican Naturalist, however. Mr. F. B. Ixiomis brings forward another explan ation. He thinks the growth of such organs Is due to what he calls "momen tum In variation." As a variation pro ceeds In a certnln direction, It ac quires, like a body moving uuder tho action of gravity, a nior.nenyiin which n ay carry It past the stoge of greatest utility. This factor In evolution, Mr, Iom1s thinks, has not been assigned' the Importance It deserves, Other evolutionists, however, have suggested that when an animal or plant bits once started to vary In a given dl rectlou. It acquires a tendency to go on varying In that direction. And this, although the word momentum Is not tiied, agrees with the above theory, MOTHERHOOD The first requisite of a good mother Is good health, and the ex perience of maternity should not be approached without careful physical preparation, as n woman who Is in pood physical condition transmits to her children tho blessings of a good constitution.
