"You're a-s\vindler. and I'll never en

Next day. though , he came back and
bought a've pounds of sugar.
"Dear me , " ' said the grocer , smiling
in a forgiving way , "I thought you \vere

A good .way to find out whether the
front of your farm presents a neat and
tidy appearance is to take a photograph
of it with the thought in mind of pre
senting one to your friends. After the
photograph is taken you may change
your mind on the subject , In which case
It ought to result in a general clean

There are several ways to tell rono-
rated butter , and oleomargarine from
fresh butter. One Is by the simple boil
ing test. This can be done in any home
with no other apparatus than an oil
"lamp and a tin teaspoon. Take a lump
of the butter the size of your first
thumb joint and place it in the tin
tablespoon. Light a common oil lamp ,
remove the chimney and hold the spoon
containing the butter over the light so
that the flame reaches the bottom of
the bowl of the spoou. Hold it in this
position until the butter boils. Oleo
nnd renovated butter boil noisily , sput
tering like a mixture of grease aud
water , aud produce but little , if any.
foam. Genuine butter boils with little
or no noise nnd produces usually an
abundance of foam. This is one of the
most simple as well' as the safest of
v.ests.
Modern Fruit XVilliout Seed.
At present the fruits in common use
that have few or no seeds include ban-
nnas , pineapples aud a certain kind of
oranges , together with some other trop
ical fruits that do not reach the mar
kets of the world in great quantities.
Yet cultivators do not greatly despair
of adding to this list of eliminating
the small and hard seeds of the straw
berry , the raspberry , the blackberry
nnd the currant , and of providing for
the market the long-felt want , the seed
less grape. Xor do they frown alto-
gethed on the enthusiastic fruit con
sumer , who looks forward to a future
core-less apples and pears , of seedless
cherries aud plums.
In the meantime cultivators of fruit
are much more anxious still further to
Improve the means of transportation
than to provide more luscious fruit
Should they succeed It may prove pos-
. sible , even in our time , with the help

make the sultry tropic almost a regret

A practical demonstration of the
value of'the trap nest in breeding up
the laying average of hens has been
made by t'he Maine experiment station ,
where the imp nest system has been
in operation for several years. Two
years a' o the average production was
\2t \ ) eggs per lion for the year and last
Avar it was l.'M eggs per hen , which
means that they had a gain of about
1'-- ? * ' > 1'cr hen over earlier records.
I think that Prof. Gowell , of the sta
tion , states that no males are used In
the breeding pens that have not been
produced from hens that produce 200
eggs IK1 ! ' hen per year. All the hens In
the bre dlnt ; pens have been bred from
hens that laid lu'O eg s per year , so
they might IK > termed strong producers.
No hen is used for breeding purposes
until after her egg record has been
known for lli months.
Stiovr for Vwnltry.
The possibility of lessening the
of caring for poultry by supplying snow
instead of water has been studied nl
the Connecticut : Storrs Experiment Sta
tion by C. K. Graham.Yhen pullets
and hens were fed wheat screenings
and beef scrap froui hoppers In col
ony houses on low grouud frozen dur
ing most of the experimental period
%
and covered with snow during part oC
the time the old hens did not furuisli
as many eggs or appear to be lu no
good condition as the younger birds.
The old hens were apparently af
fected by the snow , the egg production
being smaller on the days when BIIOW
was on the ground and also consider
ably less when the ground was frozen
that is. on the cold days when water
v/ns not accessible. ' These conditions
do not seem to have affected the young
er birds , and they show an increase in
eggs immediately after each snow
storm , gradually dropping back as the
suow disappears.
In the case of other lots kept under
much the same conditions in bouses on
higher and drier ground the cold
weather did not affect the egg produc
tion materially , "but there was a uo-
ti'-erible increase in the amount of
grain eaten during the cold weeks
when comparison is made with the
very mild ones. This , however , may
have been caused by the birds forag
ing more during the milder periods.
These birds did not appear to iniud
the cold , and there was not the slight
est sign of frosted combs among them ,
nor were there any colds. "
l'is re "Water on the Furrsi.
Absolutely pure water is not to be
found in nature. The amount and the
nature of the impurities vary widely ,
depending upon the source of supply
and other conditions. Nor are all of
the impurities harmful in a water In
tended for domestic use ( and , very few
of them may be ) , but owing to the fact
that water may be the agent for
spreading certain diseases , it is essen
tial that care be taken to get a supply
that is free from harmful constituents ,
says Robert W. Gray , of the Colorado
Experiment Station.
Impurities may either he dissolved in
the water or carried in suspension by
it ; and they niny be of animal , vegeta
ble , or mineral origin. Hardness in
water is due to the presence of com
pounds of lime or magnesia. Iron may
be present In quantities large enough to
make a water unfit for laundry pur
poses.
The greatest danger to which a do
mestic supply is subject , however , is
the possibility of contamination by de
caying animal matter and wastes. Ty
phoid fever and other diseases result
from such contamination. It is , there
fore , important that any source of sup
ply should be guarded. In these cases
where the water comes down as rain
and is caught upon roofs , to be carried
to a cistern , the first part of the rain
fall should be wasted , as it is full of
dirt from the roof. Brick filters In
cisterns are not so efficient us they are
generally supposed to be.
When the water is drawn from a
well aud comes up cool , clear nnd
sparkling , It is very difficult to con
vince anyone that It is possible for any
thing injurious to be present ; but such
is sometimes the case. No well or
spring should be used which Is located
within several hundred feet of n barn
yard and In lower ground. The barn
yard filth will find Its way beneath the
surface of the grouud and flow for
some distance before It becomes harm
less. What is said of wells is also true
of springs. They may appear to come
out of the solid rock , but there Is a
crevice in which they flow and there
may be other crevices which will per
mit the entrance of the death-dealing
sewage.
The examination of a sample of wa
ter to determine its goodness or its bad
ness for any use Is possibly only to
those who are specially fitted for that
work , so reliance must be placed prin
cipally In doing away with all risible
sources of barm.

fifteen bushels of fine winter wheat on
one hundred acres of breaking , and
Tenny Brothers had sixty acres that
went thirty bushels per acre. The

Spring wheat here went thirty bush

Deafness Cannot be Cured

hy constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused hy an inflamed condition of the mu

this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing , and when it is
entirely closed. Deafness is the result , and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi
