McWade , the Duluth mil- ' , lionaire talked at a dinner about the 'delights of a backwoods vacation. , "I go to a ! quaint : backwoods village every summer , " he said , "and number- less are the quaint people I meet t there. "Old Boucher for .instance , the jan it itor of the village church , is most ' amusing with his quaint ways. I had old Boucher to lunch one day , and the cold lobster was served with a . , . . .Y . mayonnaise sauce. When my servant a : . < ; , \ offered this sauce to Boucher , the old . \ man stuck his knife in it , took up a little on the blade , tasted it , then - - shook his head and said : . . . " ' ' .

If there are any bare places on the lawn now they should be reseeded or resodded. . - The disk is a better implement than the plow for breaking up sod in the orchard. There is a distinct difference be- tween weeds and corn. There should also be an extinct difference. - An orchard will live longer , bear better and be more profitable for be- ing well cultivated and enriched. Perhaps the first important factor to consider in dairying is the stable wherein the cattle are to be housed. Strawberries should be cultivated , the weeds eradicated and the mois ture conserved for late summer drouth. - When the Incubator is to be started for late hatches set things in order and run it two days before intrusting the eggs to it. The scientific , thoughtful farmer works with his head. He knows every cow , her yield , her condition and her profit producing capacity. Allow the calf to run with the mother for a day or so immediately after birth. The new milk is neces- sary to promote'a proper digestion. Aside from the commercial value cf the products from the poultry yard the value of fresh eggs and fine poul- try for the table should not be under- estimated. No sane and active poultry keeper will tolerate lice in the nest. Place water , feed and dust bath where the hen can easily get at them when she daily leaves the nest. Unless you secure the guinea eggs and have the young ones hatched un- der the hens , along with the chicks , they are almost certain to become wild and unmanageable. Beware of "red rust" in blackberry or blackcap bushes. When seen , promptly dig up and burn infected plant , being careful not to scatter the ' fungous dust over healthy bushes. Those who have large apple or- chards are fortunate if they have evaporators for drying windfall ap ples. ' This is a good way to utilize unsalable fruit and thus add to the profits of the orchard. . - Keep your eyes open for better hens. You will often see some advertised for sale. But steer clear of old worn- out stock. None over one . or at , the outside two years old should be bought or kept on the farm. For grape-rot and mildew , begin 4 early and spray the vines with Bor- deaux mixture at Intervals of about two , weeks. Newly-set grape vines should - - be allowed to .

When we understand that It re quires twenty tons of moisture to pro- duce a bushel of corn we will study to make Its evaporation as slow as possible , as crops suffer more from lack of moisture than from any other . single thing. . It Is quite a temptation sometimes to have a dealer offer you a big price for the best sheep and lambs. If you need them In your t ffwn herd , however you cannot afford to take any price ' offered. Keep the best and make that best better anothe > t year. " ' Cottonseed meal fed to excess will I injure the flavor of butter Just as linseed meal in excess will Injure the grain and flavor. While both of these can be fed to an advantage to dairy cows the best results are pos- sible only when they are used In coi > nectlon with other materials. * c Do not neglect to examine the curt mat and goosebejrry-twshes and k > ok a for the white eggs of the ourrant- worms and the larva of the ranwant- sew 1y.

The breed of white hogs Is rapidly disappearing from this country. The good roads movement increases the pleasure of moving over the roads. Some men never discover where a fence Is weak until they attempt . to climb over it. Even a city man can come to the \ front with a small flock of poultry in his back yard. J .No cow which averages less than one and one-half < gallons of milk per " day 3 can be kept , at a profit. v Take the chill off the water for the mare , and feed her carefully and keep her quiet for a number of days. The man who said "that the best poultrymen on most farms are the women , " knew what he was talking about. It Is 'more difficult to secure the seeds of forest trees than any oth er , kinds of seeds since there is so lit tle market for them. ' e - Beets may be canned or pickled and saved for winter use. When vegeta- bles are scarce they will be greatly - enjoyed if saved in this way. ' In Japan there are 192 people for every 40 acres of land and 256 cows , 256 donkeys , and 512 swine for every square mile of land in the kingdom.v It is not fair calculation to take the average of the herd as the basis of computing annual _ profit from the dairy. Let each individual stand on her merits. - . The sitting hen should be given a new , clean box for a nest , filled with the cleanest of material. Place her on tt the new nest and give her the eggs in the evening. No animals are bred that are capa- ble of supplying the largest amount of rich milk and storing away the largest amount of flesh and fatness in their bodies at one and the same time. Most people find that the yearling hens lay more eggs than the older hens , but some chicken raisers claim that the old hens eggs are better for hatching , because they are more strongly fertilized. I Good food never . creates the char- I acter nor temperament of a cow , nor makes of her a good dairy animal . any more than it never . makes a good I cow out of a small milker ; it is use- less to make the effort. Water or moisture is always on the move. When it rains It soaks the ground and as soon as it stops raining it starts its upward movement by capil lary attraction. It travels from one soil particle to the next and so on until the soil becomes what we call dry. It must be apparent to every . un- prejudiced thinking man that ff the dairy farmer wishes to obtain the greatest profit in his dairy he must grade up his herd by one of the pure- bred bulls of one of the four great dairy breds , Ayrshire , Guernsey , Hoi- stein or Jersey. All stock will be healthier and will thrive better if salt is kept where they can help themselves daily rather than at intervals. Medicated salts are now put up and sold mat are better in every way for the stock than the common salt usually used besides be- ing a better conditioner. The soil has wonderful absorptive power to hold on to its moisture , for 61 if [ we place some soil In the oven and 61e drive off the moisture by heat and ti then examine these soil particles un- tih tia dr : : ! a powerful microscope we will find h each soil particle coated with a thin ll 1 film [ of what is termed hydroscopic wa llb ter.

Against Penurlousness , In Which * There Can Be No Pos- sible Saving. % ' The housewife who Is so conscien tiously and rigidly economical that she is always bounded and surround- ed by reversible silk skirts that should be thrown in the rag bag , or frazzled centerpieces that could be cut up into doilies , or lawn scraps that might be turned thandkerchiefs , should take a whole day off and learn that "every excess is a defect" and "extremes weaken. " Sometimes such painful and tedious ecomonies are necessary. Often they are not. Once in a while they are ridiculous. At times it happens that they ] even cause misery. Perhaps" you remember with what pangs of wound- ed pride you went to school in the metamorphosed dress of your elder sister. Perhaps you read about the girl who came back from boardjng school and straightway rejected her young country lover because his eco- nomical mother had put tucks in his trousers to provide against his rapid growth. Anyhow , there are two kinds of economies and the kind that will monopolize your time from sunrise to moonrise and keep you ; humping for- ward threading needles or flashing crochet hooks , and maybe make some- body sour at that especially when that willing old second-hand man of- fers to relieve you of all the non- essential dry goods , woodware and ironware ] for cash , it is for you to watch out that the goblins of regret and disgust don't get you. Foolish Habit to Acquire. Unless it is a case of "have to" the tendency always to create something new out of something old is not so commendable in modern housekeep- ing as some might think and for the following reasons : In the first place most of us elalm that modern dry goods has not the durability it was known to have 50 years ago. Therefore it doesn't al- ' ways > pay to make over something old since . . much of the wear is gone. Then there is always some doubt as to the fit . . or presentability of a made-over thing , and the market for all kinds of discards including furniture as well as clothes being always open it is generally easy to dispose of things that are in the way. . Besides , the housewife who wishes to be classed as "up to date" must grant herself sufficient leisure to neu- tralize the domestic strain with social or intellectual felicities , so a few of those laborious economies must be cut out. Here are some samples of erring economies that increase the burden of daily housework : A mother with , four children and an excellent income unraveled a knitted sweater that was a : little tattered on one shoulder and , sagged on one side and crocheted two _ pairs of house slippers of the ravel- ings. ings.This This used up all of her afternoon leisure for two weeks. By darning carefully : : and stretching this sweater a little , , which would have taken her only a few minutes , she could easily have disposed of it. . . For , Simple Living. Fancy cake is not possible without butter and eggs in abundance , but It is not to necessary the health of a family or the table of a good house- keeper. There are substitutes , like fruit ' - plain or cooked-gingerbread i and cookies. It Is not fashionable to eat too much or too often , so those whose ; pride suffers in the lopping-off process may solve It with that knowl- edge. But women of fashion do go to : market and select food , keeping in touch : with the novelties as they ap- pear and taking advantage of an over stock : whenever It is to be found. They eat ! as a matter of course , while plain- er ! : folk make feeding a prominent fea- ture of life. Quality , rather than Quantity , counts with them , for they have learned that food governs health In a great measure. They have also been taught that greediness of appe- ' tite is distinctly vulgar. " ' ; : l- ( - ' _ _ _ _ - : I:4" " ' " " ' The Carving Knife. There is a great deal in knowing how to sharpen the carving knife. The teel should be held in the left hand which should be on a level with the el- bow , pointing1 toward the right shoul- der , and the knife held , almost : , perpen dicularly in the right hand. J The hilt of the knife's edge should be placed at the top of the steel and he blade drawn downward the whole length of both steel and knife , first on one side and then on the other , so that the point of the knife finishes at he hilt of the steel. The blade should be almost flat on the steel , with the back slightly raised but with only the edge touching it " Cleaning and Bleaching Hats.

"Mr. Campbell encountered the un- known man on the desert In a fright- ful condition.

OverManri Woman's most glorious endowment is the power to awaken and hold the pure and honest love of a worthy man. When she loses it and still loves on , ao one in the wide world can know the heart agony ' she endures. The woman who suffers from weak . mess and derangement of her special womanly or- ganism soon loses the power to sway the heart of a man. Her general health suffers and she loses her good looks , her attractiveness , her amiability and her power and prestige as a woman. Dr. R.V. Pierce , of Buffalo , N.Y. , with the assistance of his staff of able physicians , has prescribed for and cured many thousands of women. He has devised a successful remedy for woman's ail- ments.
