M Persian Cntii Pnnr. Pttoeoe was the 4-year-old daughter of a missionary to Persia , born In that land of Oriental ease snd hospitality ; her little mind was Imbued with Ideas of mutual compliment and lier little tongue so given to graces pf speech that her New England grand mother had many a shock. The morning after the little girl ar rived at the grandmother's home the eld lady was brushing out Phoebe's S ! curls , grating over her after the fashIon - Ion of grandmothers. "My little phoebe-bird ! ' she said over and over again. "Why do you call me phoebe-bird ? " aeked the child at last "Here in America we have a bird that says 'Plncbe ! phoebe ! ' " explained her grandmother. The child smiled , and her mother , standing by , knew what was passing In Phoebe's mind. Not so the grand mother , who finished her task reluc tantly at last , and then stooped down for a kiss. "In Persia , " said Phoebe , in her most caressing tone , "we have one old cat , who say 'Dranma ! dranma ! ' " A small boy's idea of greatness Is to * be able to lick another boy a size larger. \ \ \ \ Genuine I 9 T JL LT IT T * Little Liver Pi Must Bear Signature of See FaoSlmllo Wrapper Below.

Bulletin No. G-i of the Department of Agriculture says of the Crested ' White duck : \ j Tie Crested White duck Is vrKat may be called an ornamental duck , much , the same as Polish chickens. They are not bred to any great extent In this country , and they are very seldom seen In the showrooms. They have uo es-1 pecial value to the farmer , as better and more easily bred birds are to be found In the Pekln and Aylesbury. These ducks have a medium-sized head ; medium-sized bill , a large , well- balanced crest upon the crown of the head ; a rather long neck ; a medium- length back ; breast , round and full ; body , round and of medium length ; medium-length wings that smoothly fold ; hard , stiff tall feathers , with well-curled feathers In the tail of drake ; and short and stout thighs and shanks. Their eyes are large and bright and of a deep leaden blue or gray color. The shanks , toes and webs are of a light orange color. I- - - " " * * ' i. CHESTED WHITE DUCK. The standard weight of the .adult drake is seven pounds ; adult duck , six pounds ; young drake , six pounds , and young duck , five pounds. A Splendid Wheat Crop. The annual crop and business report of the Commercial National Bank of ( Chicago , covering -Mississippi VaJ- ley , and a few of the more important States of the Pacific coast , says , In part : "Thewheat crop of 1900 will be among the largest and best ever pro duced. The yield not only will be great , but the weight and quality will ibe far beyond the ordinary. In these respects it may be considered nearly perfect The period of uncertainty is closing rapidly and the crop may now be called practically out of danger. ff.be yield of soft winter wheat Is large , quality the finest and movement free. Inasmuch as this movement has begun early and all grains are now nearly or quite on an export basis ( with the ten dency of prices downward ) , a largo ex port business may be expected. " The Farm Toolhousc. No building on the farm pays hotter than a good toolhouse. It should 'be so convenient of access that there need be no excuse for leaving farm Implements exposed .to the weather when not In use. Properly cared for , many Imple ments that now last only a few years ought to be serviceable as long as th farmer liyes to need them. Besides , ; tool that has not been rusted , warped iand cracked by exposure will work as rev-ell the second and third year of use as the first On many farms the tools are so much injured by 'being left out of doors that after the first season they < st more for repairs than they save In Jabor. , Marketing- Farm Produce. A small farmer 'who has made a euc- icess of marketing his produce gives sound and ingenious advice In a recent magazine. His preliminary work sug gests Hannah Glasse's famous preface to her Instructions for cooking hare . "First find a lady customer , " Is his ad- Tice. To her sell nothing but the 'choicest ' of fruit and produce. It will not be long before she will acquaint her friends , and they in turn will pass Along the word to others. It pays to jsell nothing but the best ; the Inferior iproduce can be fed to stock , and in a Bhort time the farmer will find be has a good market and a good price , with no leakage of profit to the middleman. Cuenmbers. I raise five crops instead of one on the same ground , and on the same vines with hardly any extra work. Plant in the usual way. When a cucumber is taken from the vine let It be cut with a knife , leaving about an eighth of an inch of the cucumber on the stem. Then slit the stem with a knife from its end to the vine twice , leaving a small portion tion of the cucumber on each division' On each separate slit there will be a cucumber as large as the first By this method you will only need one-fifth the ground that you would need if grow ing cucumbers in the old way. Walter Strosnider in Epitomist Soot and Smoke Kill Cattle.

Near the piaro Jit cows were fpartaroft a ku-f * etwkm shovel has been operating and clouds of smoke from the engine settled upon the wet grass upon which the animals fed. Proflta of Middlemen. Consumers of fruits and vegetables In large cities are charged high prices &y the hucksters and grocers. In Chicago cage peaches are selling retail for thir ty-five or forty cents for a small basket containing about twenty to twenty-five peaches ; other fruits and vegetables iu proportion. It would be interesting to farmers to know just how much of this is booked as profits. Farmers get no such prices ; In fact they are lucky if they get one-third of the prices now prevailing In Chicago. Either some class of handlers is making exorbitant profits or there Is an unnecessary ex pense attached to the business of dis tribution. It costs money to handle produce. It requires storage , horses and men , and none of these things are cheap in the city , but there Is no good reason why the consumer should pay three hundred per cent profit on what the fanners sell. Farm , Field and Fireside. Tnc RolVber Cow. Two cows cost $40 each a year for keep. One of them yields 4.000 quarts of milk a year , that bring $ SG. The other yields 1,200 quarts , that bring $20. The latter loses about $14 and reduces the gain ou the former from $40 to $32. Why do you keep that 1,200- quartcow ? You-would be better off with the one that clears $40 , for you would have only half the investment , half the work and half the feeding , and you would gain $14 each year. There would be no surplus butter on the market for years to come and prices would rule strong if all the cows were eliminated which are kept at a loss. Dairy farmers have not yet half waked up to an understanding of the great practical knportance of weedIng - Ing out the unprofitable cows from their herds. Many a man would make a fair profit , that now faces constant loss , if he would keep only such cows as pay a profit on their keep. Heavy Horses. The weight of a horse is an Import ant Item in estimating his value for draft purposes , for the fine-boned horse , with well-developed muscles , may do as much work as the heavy-boned one for a short time , and is even better for road purpose. But in plowing , or other heavy , steady drawing , the light horse- Is less useful. Then , in price , the weight Is an Important item. If a good horse weiglis over 2,000 pounds he may possibly sell for as much as $1 per pound , and from 1,800 to 2,000 pounds , for less , the price rapidly declining , 1,200 to 1,500 pound horses selling at from 10 to 30 cents per pound , though it Is considerably more than any other grade of stock on the farm will bring If the norses are well bred. "Water deeded by Corn. Much interest has lately been mani fested In determining the exact amount of water required for the growth of plants. This Is just a Important In the east as in the Irrigated region , for we often have droughts which made necessary the most careful cultivation to prevent plants from suffering. Pro fessor Clothier has found that after corn1 becomes two feet high each stalk uses up three pounds of water a day until'the ears mature. This is equiva lent to an inch of rain a week. In regions where the average rainfall is lower , and where a good , milky quality , of sweet corn Is desired In the garden during August and September , it Is ob viously necessary to have the soil In. the most perfect state of cultivation seas as to retain as much moisture as is needed.

When the hog puts his head through the hole in front , jam the lever against his neck. Fattening : Stock. Weight is the main object of the farmer in fattening stock for market , and this weight is easiest obtained by feeding corn in order to produce fat Farmers have long been taught by ex perience that fat Is a desirable quality , and that it adds to the attractiveness of a carcass on the stall. It has been demonstrated at the experiment sta tions , however , that the -weight can be secured at less cost , -with a greater proportion - , portion of lean interspersed with the Cat , by feeding a nitrogenous rationn tv hich means that , In addition .to a Mb- ; ral supply of corn , an animal should- , receive a variety of food that is not so > ich in oil , starch and sugar as la corn.

Irritating Skin Humor Hair Began , to Tall Out Wonderful Be- sult from Cuticura Remedies. "About the latter part of July my whole body began to itch. I did not take much notice of it at first , but it began to get worse all the time , and then I began to get uneasy and tried all kinds of baths and other remedies that were recommended for skin hu mors.but I became worse all the time. My hair began to fall out and my scalp itched all the time. Especially at night , Just as soon as I would get in bed and get warm , my whole body would begin to itch , and my finger nails would keep it irritated , and It wa $ not long before I could not rest nigfit oe day. A friend asked me to try tiie Cuticura Remedies , and I did , and the first application helped me wondenfully. For about four weeks I would take a hot bath every night and then apply the Cuticura Ointment to my whole body ; and I kept getting bet ter , ana by the time I used four boxes of Cuticura I was entirely cured , and my hair stopped falling out.

Claim United Slates Laws Give Lit * tie Protection to Inventor * "I happened to be chatting with Thomas A. Edison , in his laboratory at Orange , New Jersey , one uight while he was w-orking on his most recent creation the intensified dynamo , " says a writer in Success Magazine , "and heard him discuss thoroughly the injustice that is done inventors in the United States. 'This very day , ' he said , 'several of my well known pat ents expire , and become the property of posterity , which means Tom , Dick , and Harry. The government professes to protect thp inventor for seventeen years , and after that time his crea tion is no longer his own. But , as a matter of fact , the government does no such thing. It lets any poacher run in and bring suit , or .apply for an injunction , disputing the inventor's patent , already granted by the patent office , and in all the courts , pending the iong-drawn-out litigation which follows , the other fellow is permitted to go on manufacturing and selling the thing he claims to have Invented before the real inventor made it. " 'Do you see that little lamp there ? ' asked Mr. Edison , as he arose , full- length , in his ragged old linen duster of the workshop , and he pointed with his pencil to an ordinary Incandescent electric light beaming brightly over a draftsman's table. 'It was my inven tion , known as a primary invention , because I took two things , a piece of metal and electricity , and made a third thing out of them light. Now , I fought fourteen years in the courts for that little lamp , because a.French man bobbed up and claimed it after I had secured the patent. During all this litigation I had no protection what ever , and when I won my rights , after fourteen years , there were but three years of the allotted seventeen left for my patent to live. It has now become the property of anybody and every body. There is no protection given an inventor by the courts or the patent department.

Mrs. Romethe Myers , of 1GO South Tenth St. , Ironton , Ohio , says : "I have worked hard in my time and have been exposed ajraln and again to' changes of weather. It Is no wonder my kidneys gave out and I went all to pieces at hist. For five years I was fading away and final ly so weak that for six mouths I could net get out of the house. I was nervous , restless and sleepless at night , and laiw and sore in the morning. Sometimes everything would whirl and blur Before me. I bloated so badly I could not wear tight clothing , and had to put on shoes tw.o sizes larger than usual. The urine was disordered and passages were dreadfully frequent. I got help from the first box of Doan's Kidney Pills , however , and by the time I had taken four boxes the pain and bloating was gone. I have been in good health ever since.

How many women do you know who are perfectly well and strong ? Wej hear eve/y day the same story over and. . over again. " I do not feel well ; I am BO tired all the time ! " More than likely you speak the same words yourself , and no doubt you feel ) far from well. The cause maybe easily traced to some derangement of the female - ' male organs which manifests itself in depression of spirits , reluctance to go- anywhere or do anything , backache- bearing-down pains , flatulency , nerv ousness , sleeplessness , or other fej male weakness. These symptoms are but warnings that there is danger ahead , and unless heeded a life of buffering1 or a serious operation is the inevitable result. The never-failing remedy for all these symptoms is Lydia. E. Pinkham's Veg etable Compound. , Miss Kate McDonald of "Woodbridge , N.
