A Dairy Hint
It is a very poor management to have
the cows yielding milk liberally while
on paiiure, but when on hay in the
winter season to be mere strippers.
Give them warm stables, the right kind
of food and water in abundance, and
the income Irom them will be greater
than that in the summer. Milk them
tarty in the morning and feed them,
that the interval may not be so long as
to make them hungry and restless. All
Ibis piys well, indeed.

The weekly mending Is always so
much of a bore that the happy thought
of applying the old adage, "a stitch In
time," to this dreaded task has set me
wondering why I have allowed myself
to be troubled so long. Upon my dress
ing table I keep In a little tray a needle,
thread and some darning cotton. Every
night when I remove my stockings I
look them over a glance suffices and
I find the little holes that begin to come
vastly easier to mend than the yawn
ing caverns that would otherwise be
awaiting me on Tuesday. And so It Is
wltb other things. Sewing on a button
or catching together a tiny rip here and
there takes scarcely a minute, but the
sum total of these rips and buttons
would make a large inroad upon one
precious week day morning otherwise.
Perhaps this scheme will not commend
Itself to mothers. Certainly a half
dozen pairs of stockings, big and little,
could not he mended every morning
before breakfast, but It Is admirable
In the still economy of a bachelor girl's
domain, and ought to lie followed by
many of the girls who believe In the
old Itemlngtoii saying, "To save time
Is to lengthen life." M. I. MeNeal, In

The favor In which Kentucky saddle
bred horses are now held in the East
consequent upon repeated victories In
the show rings, will surely encourage
even (loser attention In the breeding
districts to the production of high class
horses. The fact that the East prefers
a walk-trot-canter horse to one that has
all the accomplishments is in favor of
the breeder and trainer, as it Is much
less work to finish the horse of the
lesser education. Type, weight carry
ing and blood and saddle horse In
stincts and intelligence are what Is
wanted, and the breed of saddle horses
chiefly fostered In Kentucky and Mis
souri Is abundantly able to furnish all
these requirements. Action should not
be overlooked- not the action of a high
stepper, but clean, true, attractive and
balanced fore and aft. Front action
that comes from the shoulder Is de
manded, while the hocks should follow
promptly. Of all horses a saddle horse
needs a leg always under him. There
Is a bright future for breeders of the
saddle horse. ISteeders' tlazelte.
To Make oe I.nat.
A new wrinkle may be learned from
an English soldier, who was noted for
keeping bis lwiots in better condition aiid
making them last longer than any of
his brother officers. When asked what
he did to them to prevent the leather
from cracking and keping it suft and
smooth, his reply was: "Mutton bone."
When an explanation was demanded
he said: "It Is nothing, I assure you.
My man asks the cook for a knuckle
bone, which he cleans and then bakes.
After rubbing the leather with cream
he then frotlcs them as hard as he can
with the bone. Usually my boots last
me three years."
Kconomy of llornleaa Cow.
When it comes to putting up cows
for winter, the cow that litis no horns
will be found to take much less room
than her neighbor who Is tempted to
and generally does hook and light all
those near her. In the stable, of i
course, each stall will accommodate Its
cow. horns or no horns. Hut horned
cattle are often kept In stables on
bright, pleasant winter days, to keep
them from hooking one another, when
they would be much healthier If al
lowed to run In a small yard. Most
barnyards are made much larger than
would be necessary If all horns were
removed.
Improved Incubator Ilouae.
The cut shows a plan for obviating
the inconvenience of rising tempera
ture in the Incubator bouse when tbe
sun is shining, especially late In the
spring or In the summer. Then It Is
difficult to keep a uniform heat In the
machines, as the house becomes over
heated from the effect of the sun upon
the roof. A simple way out of the diffi
culty Is to put on an additional roof,
leaving an air spnee between the two.
The inner roof can be covered with
cheap hoards and roofing paper, with
lath battens. The outer roof should be
shingled, as a black roof absorbs the
heat readily. New England Homo

"Kit ami H a m . r
Kitty K.ley and her s ster Maggie h id
-eu married on the taiiie day tuaily '
:wo years ayo. Itnth had married bun- i
.t work! tinmen, with steady posit. ons, i
md the wages of both husbands were ;
ibout equal. Each had been presented
with a son and heir, aud both the sis
:ers ought to have been happy, but
while Kit and her husband were al
ways lu good spirits, light hearted, con
tented and pleased with their lot, there
levmed to be a shadow hanging over
ihe household that was ruled by Kit's
.leter.
It was not that any trouble or mls
jnderstanding existed between Maggie
tnd her-husband. Far from It. They
oved each other dearly, and were al
ways happy in each other's society, as
true wives and husbands ought to be,
but there soon crept into the young
wife's eyes a careworn, worried look
that betokened secret sorrow of some
kind. Eetween care for her baby and
tier household duties her time was fully
jeeupied indeed, it was noticed that
die did not take her infant out for au
ilring anything like as often as did her
dsier Kit. At first hpr husband, John
L'larke. was too busy to notice any
change lu his wife, and it was only
when Kit's husband. Tom White, be
gan to ask if Maggie was ailing that
poor John directed his atletitiou to his
wife's appearance.
"Maggie," he said one evetrng In a
self -reproachful way. "1 have been
rather neglectful of you of late, I am
afraid, and I haveu't been taking care
of your health and comfort.. You fire
beginning to look pale and thin, and,
now I uotlce it, the baby is not as
healthy looking as he ought to be.
You'll have to go out mote. You don't
get enough of fresh air. and neither
does the (hilil! Why don't you put him
In the baby carriage and take him out
for an hour or so in the mornings and
afternoons?"
"I haven't time, John." replied Mag
gie. In a sad tone of voice. "There Is
o much to be done In the house, you
know, and between that and the baby
I don't have a minute to spare."
"Well, your sister Kit has just tbe
same to contend with. She keeps her
house clean and attends to little Tom
my, and yet she finds time to take a
run in the park every day with the
boy, and she is as blooming and fresh
In appearance as a new-blown rose."
"1 know she Is, John, and I can't
understand it." (Here a tear crept into
the little woman's eye and her lip trem
bled.) "It isn't that I don't feel wed.
but somehow or another 1 am always
tlied. I am trying to keep things clean
and straight all the time, and yet I
never seem to get ahead. Cod knows I
would often like to take baby out for a
blow of fresh air. but I don't seem to
be able to afford the time!"
"Well, see here, now. Maggie," said
her husband kindly. "Your health and
the child's is of much more importance
to me than the bouse work. Don't do
so much cleaning! It Isn't a bit neces
sary. I've noticed you scrubbing and
rubbing many a time when I couldn't
see the "" of -,. lake more healthy
exeicise and do less hard work."
"No, John, that will never do," sn
twered Maggie; "I'm quite willing to
have some restful exercise, but not at
the expense of a clean house. I like
my home to be scrupulously cleau at all
times."
"Well, It Is clean; I'll give you credit
for that." said her husband quickly,
"but then you are too particular. (;lve
as much care to yourself and tiie baby
is you do to the housework, and you'll
feel better aud so will 1! Now just get
baby and yourself ready, and we'll
walk over to your sister there's a
good girl."
Maggie rose and dressed the baby and
banded him to papa vvh le siie pic-pared
herself In the midst of her prepara
tions she said, "ftetilly. John. I don't
see how I can afford the time to go!
That kitchen door ought to be scrubbed
to-night and I was going to cle.tu up
all the door knobs anil brasswotk "
"Eel the brass work be photograph
ed!" exclaimed John, somewhat testily.
"Y'ou'll kist'p on rubbing and scrubbing,
and brushing Htid clcnnaig uutil you
drop into the grave! Hereafter you'll
have to go out every day for at least
two hours. I Insist on It, and I'm going
to ask Kit to come over and take you
with her regularly from this day."
At Kit's house they naturally met
with a cordial reception from Tom and
his wife. The house was as trim and
neat and straight as busy hands could
make It, but Kit aud the baby had
been out In the park all the afternoon!
johu Clarke sighed as he noticed the
different complexions of Kit and her
sister. The one was ruddy with health,
the other pale, wan and sickly looking.
"You poor dear!" exclaimed K:t, coui
mlHwatingly. "I'm sure she must be 111.
John, or slip would not look so tired
and weary."
"I am not 111. Kit Indeed I am not,
aud you know I never was lazy, but
somehow I don't seem to keep up with
my work, and yet you get ahead of
yours always. I was always as strong
as you were, and naturally as quick,
but I honestly cannot understand how
you manage to get through all your
housework and yet have so much time
to yourself "
"Perhaps." said Tom White, as a
light gleamed Id his eyes, "perhaps this
secret Is easily solvable after all. Tell
us, Maggie, do you use Sapolio In your
houseclcntiltig?"
"Why no' I use almost anything I
can buy at the store."
"There," cried Kit, triumphantly,
"that Is reslly Ihe secret of your trou
hies! You Just use Apollo s I do,
Magrl. an1 you'll find the work easier
In every way. Tou'll have lots of tlmt
lo yourself, and therefor you'll feel

DIED BY HER HUSBAND

"I will stay with ' If yon cannot

lay In tbe chains of paralysis and bid

A ladder bad been thrown against tb

with a fireman' helmet on his bead ra
swiftly up to the window of the room
where Mr. and Mrs. Howe were known
to be. "Come," be shouted from tb

Tbe wife struggled to lift her husband
In her arms, but she was powerless t

"Al, dear one!" she cried In agon.
"See the fire! Try, oh, try to lift Just m

The fireman leaned forward from a
background of flame.
"Come," he cried, "the ladder Is bunt

Then it was tbe woman nestled dowa
beside the man she loved.
"I will stay with Al," she said simply.
The ladder sprang outward and tbo
