Raul IWe n to a Circus,
Id a small school an Inspector was
examlng a class in geography. He
had failed to puzzle the bright young
sters, and in despair demanded at
last to know whit is tbe equator?
There was i momentary pause, and
tbe inspector smiled triumphantly.
Put the smile had haidly got to its
widest limits when a fierce looking

growled out tbe answer "The 'qua

How to Roll liar bed Wire.
The Illustration shows a home-made
device fw -rolling barbed w-i re wbka
will work well mid enable one to han
dle the wire without trouble. Use any
sort of a sninll barrel and nail the
ends In tiplit and fee that all hoops
are securely fastened on. On the cen
ter of each end or head nail a block of
wood thick enough to be alxive the
level of the edges of chimes. Through
this bore a hole Into the barrel. Make
handles of material an Inch thick, two
inches wide nnd five feet long. Take
ui iron rod, puss It through the ends
of the handles and through the bar
rel, as shown In the cut, fastening at
the ends with a nut Nail a piece of
board across the handles, or use iron
bars, If iHBwIble, to stiffen the bandies,
and the machine Is complete. Stretch
the wire out on the ground, fasten one
end to the barrel and then simply roll
the barrel over the wire until the lat
ter ie wound around the barrel.
Hay In Rnnnd flalea.
The cylindrical bale has become very
popular for hay and cotton, and many
shippers are discarding their old
presses to get one that will press It In
this form. The standard bale Is eight
een Inches In diameter and thirty-six
Inches long. The pressure used In
packing for home use puts about two
hundred pounds In such a bale, but
when Intended for export they use
higher pressure and get In about 275
pounds. A bale put up for army use
Is but half as long, or eighteen Inches,
and welgs about 140 pounds. It Is cal
culated that a good pack horse or mule
will travel with one of these on each
side, and they can go where the army
wagons could not. Thousands of tons
of these round bales have been shipped
to our army In the Philippines, and a
large amount to the British army In
South Africa. In this form a given
weight of hay Is compressed into about
one-half the space that It occupied In
the square bale, and the fact that It
does not pack as closely In car or ves
sel, there being spaces between the
bales, which prevents moulding, pre
serves the sweetness of the hay, and
the close pressure In the bale reduces
the combustibility. For cotton many of
the same advantages are claimed for
the round bale, that Is, getting more in
small space and reducing the danger
from fire. American Cultivator.

The Strawberry Pcafa.
The most objection to continuing to
keep the strawberry bed In one place
for several years Is not the exhaustion
of the soil, because the fertility can be
applied. It is not the matting of the
row, because after runners have put
out "into the paths between them, l
they are worked mellow and enriched,
the old row of plants can be cut out,
leaving the path there, and the new
plants can be thinned, If too abundant,
and the weeds can be taken out, but
Insect pests are bo numerous now that
It may be easier to set a new bed than
to try to kill them. Thpre are more
than a dozen that are well known, and
the root borer, crown borer, stalk borer,
leaf rollers, cutworms and grubs are
probably those which do the most dam
age. Nearly every one of these can be
found In tbe anil aa egg, larvae or pupa
soon after the fruit is picked, and
when any of tbem have been especially
rroubleaome, we would advise the set
ting a new bed at some distance from
the old one, and plowing up tbe old
bed In August, which will destroy most
of them. If any plants are taken from

Our Farmer Ariatocrsta.
Tales of sudden wealth are quite com
mon In the famous Kansas and Okla
homa wheat belt; fine houses, modern
in every appointment, are the rule;
ruhber-tired buggies and automobiles
are nothinc to attract attention. In cer
tain communities even the farmer has
grown metropolitan to the extent of
building an opera house on a school lot
and securing some of the best attrac
tions in the theatrical line. It was not
until the present winter that Wichita
could affcrd a guarantee for certain
notable singers. Among those occupy
ing front seats were well-known wheat
growers. Farmers' daughters and
fanners' sons form a goodly part of the
Kansas society element, while piano
salesmen look to them for their quick
deals. It Is nothing uncommon for a
farmer to come to town and buy two
or three rubber-tired buggies, or even
to place an order for an automobile.
Mr. I. YV. Blaine, a rich farmer of
Pratt County, superintends all his har
vesting hi an automobile. Many oth
ers are equally plutocratic.
One of the richest fanners in the Kan
sas wiieat licit is John T. Stewart, who
came to the State five years ago. He
Isirrovved $"i0 from a friend, rented a
quarter section of land In Sumner
County and began work. To-day he Is
worth $2,000,000, and his income from
wheat in 1W1 was $fr4,000. He Is known
as the wheat king of Kansas. There
are twenty-three millionaires In Kan
sas, fifteen of whom are farmers living
on farms and running them as an In
vestment. Perhaps they have not all
of their fortune Invested In land, but a
goodly portion of It is. Solomon Bes
ley, of Wellington, placed $31,000 in
wheat land last year and realized 30
per cent on his Investment, or ten times
as much as he receives from money
loaned In Illinois. Ainslee's Magazine

Alfalfa on Sandy Soil.
The claim that alfalfa will not thrlvt
on sandy soil Is not borne out by ex
periment. Col. B. W. Richards, secre
tary of the Laurel Hill Cemetery Com
pany, who has a farm at Hainmouton,
X. J., has grown alfalfa for several
years, and on a plot consisting of white
sand. The plot was seeded In August,
18i8, and another later. As many as
four or five cuttings are secured every
season, and from two to three tons of
hay per acre are cured. Manure Is
spread over the land every fall and
Hnie (mostly from burnt oyster shells)
Is broadcasted. The land has become
very productive, and more animals
were necessary In order to consume the
hay produced. The experiment 's a
valuable one, as It demonstrates what
can be done with alfalfa on the lightest
kind of sand. llillndelphia Record.
In Favor of Sheep.
It Is sometimes asserted that cattle
and sheep require the same amount
of feed per 1,000 pounds of live weight,
according to Prof. Curtlss. This state
ment seems not to be well founded,
In some experiments at the Iowa sta
tion the cattle consumed 1D.0 pounds
of dTy matter per 1,000 pounds of live
weight against an average of 20.7 by
the sheep. Both cattle and sheep wero
on full feed. The sheep made a dally
galu of 3.73 pounds per 1,000 pounds
of live weight and the cattle 2.11. In
summing up this comparison we find
that while the sheep ate 4 per cent
more than the cattle they gained near
ly 75 per cent more.
Topdreaelng Winter Wheat.
In some sections of the country It. Is
a practice to top drees the wheat In the
fall, and this regardless of the quan
tity of fertilizer applied to the field
before seeding. This is an excellent
plan and should be more generally prac
ticed. Tbe Idea. Is to apply this top
dressing immediately after seeding, us
ing a manure spreader arranged so that
the manure will be scattered evenly
but quite thin. Durlifg the winter thf)
strength of the manure Is washed down
to the roots of the plants while the
coarser portion acts a a mulch.
Feed Bulky Food.
Growing animals need bulky food to
keep the stomach distended? Whey
feeding Illustrates the point to an ex
treme. One hundred pounds contain
only about seven pounds of solids. The
animal therefore must drink and void
nine-three pounds of water to get tbe
seven pounds dry matter. While not
an Ideal food, the growth obtained
serves to show a demand for bulk.
French Holla.
Two quarts of sifted flour, a pint of
warm milk, half a cup of butter melted
in the milk; a quarter of a tup of su
gar, three or four eggs beaten light, a
little salt, a half cake of compressed

Ufteen minutes. Cover the pan and
set to rise over night if for luncheon,
in the morning if for tea. Knead them
well, but do not add any more flour.
Make them Into shape, and let them
rise again until light. Hake about
fifteen minutes in a quick oven. For
linns add cinnamon. SI: t t!ie flour be
fore measuring, and measure lightly.
Crearn Filling for Chocolate Cake.
For a delightful chocolate creme fill
ing for layer cake try the following:
One and a quarter squares of choco
late, one cupful of sugar, three-quarters
of a cupful of flour, one-eighth of
a teaspoonful of salt, two ctipftila of
milk, two eggs and a tenspooiiful of
vanilla. Melt, the chocolate in a double
boiler; mix the sugar and flour, salt
and milk, and arid the two eggs slight
ly Itoaten. (';)! 1 he mixture fifteen
minutes in a double Ixiiler, then add
the chocolate and one teaspoonful of
vanilla. When cold, spread between
the layers of cake.
Stuffed I'cppera.
Take three green peppers, wash them,
then put them in hot grease and blanch
until tender. Remove from the fire
and again wie the skins with a cloth.
Cut off the tops and take out the seeds.
Take one ounce of butter, chop up a
few shallots and fry in the butter, add
ing a few chopped mushrooms. Sea
son with tomato puree, thickened with
bread crumbs, and put this filling into
the peppers. Place on the dish and
serve with bechamel sauce.
Fudge.
Two cups of granulated stigar, half
a cup of milk, a piece of butter a little
larger than an egg, a little salt, and
seven teaspoonfuls of Raker's cocoa.
Roil twelve minutes. Add three tea
spoons of vanilla, and stir for three
minutes. Remove from the fire. Pour,
caramel thickness, Into buttered tins.
When partially cold, mark off in
quares.
The Wh Boiler.
Many people complain that the boiler
;usts and Iron molds the clothes. This
may be entirely prevented by rubbing
the boiler well with any good kitchen
oap immediately after emptying It and
'hlle It Is warm. (.Jive It a liberal coat
ing, remembering the soap is not wast
?d, as it all goes Into and helps the
Urst filling the the boiler next washing
lay.
Fro.en Hnapberries.
Two quarts of raspberries, one pint of
nigar and one quart of water. Boil the
water and sugar together fifteen mln-
ltes, add the berries and cook fifteen
minutes longer. When cold add the
lulec of three lemons and freeze. When
he beater Is taken out add one pint of
whipped cream.
Ham burn; Steak.
Two pounds of the round of beef
chopped very fine; press it into a flat
Htenk, Hprlnkle with wait and pepper
and a little onion juice; flour it light
y and broil the same as lKefstek.
Make a Irrown gravy with a little soUp
stock; thicken with flour.
Brief Hints.
Carry a lighted match with the light
ed end from you to keep It from going
nut
To set the dye in cotton stockings
put a good handful of common salt in
the washing water.
Iron the silk fronts of embroidered
blockings with a warm Iron to make
them bright and shiny.
To polish fretwork first rub It over
with sandstone, then dip a cloth in lin
seed oil and rub the wood well with It.
When ripping up the neams of an
ild skirt, If the ripping Is started from
the iKittom, the goods are much less
likely to tear at the edges.
A little pipeclay dissolved In the
water employed In washing clothes will
vaatly Improve their color and will
irove a great saving of time, trouble
ind soap.
Keep all hooks and eyes and buttons
firmly sewed on, thus avoiding the
temptation to use pins nnd saving the
wear on your skirt bands. Nothing
wears and tears out bands so quickly
is pinning.
An admirable Idea for cramped bed
rooms Is to have a long mirror set In
the closet door; extra hooks on the oth
r side and a skirt banger or so never
oitie amiss, and a bag below them for
boots and slippers Is very desirable.
To clean wood tables and shelve use
his mixture: Half a pound each of soft
nnp and Hand and a quarter of
t pound of lime. Mix and apply with a
crobblng briiah, Ulnae with plenty
yt clean water and when dry the wood
ill be spotlerwly white.
The cleaning of windows may be
rrctly facilitated by first dusting tbem
with wbltlng. Hew up some whiting
n a small linen bag and nib the whole
window and ledges, Rub this off with a
ough cloth and polish with chamois.
not her plan is to rub tbe glass with
t chamois, dampened with whiting, and
polish with soft elotb.
