GOT THE BEST OF THE ELDER
Apt Quotation of Brer Reuben Saved
His Mule and at the Same Time
Rebuked Sin.
Elder Harris was making another
attempt to induce one of the members
of his flock to trade horses with him.
"Dat pony o' your'n , Brer Reuben , "
he said , "is jes' what I want , an' my
big bay hos is jes * what yo' want. I
kin git over de groun' faster wid de
pony , an' you kin haul a bigger load
wid de boss. Hit'd be a good trade fur
bofe on us , 'ceptin' dat it'd be a leetle
better fuh you dan it would fur me.
You take de bay and give me de
ches'nut sor'l. "
"De pony suits me well 'riough , el
der , " averred Brother Reuben , for the
twentieth time. "I don' keer t' make
no swap. "
"But I jes' natchelly got t' have dat
pony , Brer Reuben. "
"Elder , " spoke the other , after a
period of profound thought. "I been
wantin' t' ast yo' a question for a long
time. "
"Well , what is it ? "
"Iknoww'at one o' de 'postles says
'bout de law bein' done away with , but
ain'-t we still livin' undah de ten com-
man'ments ? "
"Brer Reuben , " solemnly averred
Elder Harris , "we air. "
"Well , one o' dem cominan'ments
says we mustn't covet anyt'ing w't b'-
longs t' our neighbors , an' you're cov-
etin * dat HT chestnut sor'l pony o'
mine , Brer Harris ! "
Then the elder gave it up. Clearly
the tenth commandment was against
him. Chicago Tribune.
Left Both Satisfied.
It all happened on one of those few
surviving pay-after-you-enter cars.
"Oh , I insist on paying , Gladys , " said
the brunette. "You paid coming
down. "
"No. I shall pay , " declared , Gladys
with equal firmness. "What if I did
pay coming down didn't you buy that
last package.of gum ? "
"Let me settle the quarrel , ladies , "
suggested the diplomatic conductor.
"Why not use the denatured form of
Dutch treat ? "
"What's that ? "
"Well , you each pay the other's
fare. "
And that was the way they solved
It. Cleveland Leader.

Got Something Else , Too.
"I liked my coffee strong and 1
drank it strong , " says a Pennsylvania
woman , telling a good story , "and al
though I had headaches nearly every
day I just would not believe there
was any connection between the two.
I had weak and heavy spells and pal
pitation of the heart , too , and al
though husband told me he thought it
was the coffee tha fuade me so poor
ly , and did not dri/ffeit himself for he
said it did not ag T with Mm , yet I
loved my coffee M.d thought I just
couldn't do without it.
"One day a friend called at my
home that was a year ago. I spoke
about how well she was looking and
she said :
" 'Yes , and I feel well , too. It's be
cause I am drinking Postum in place
of ordinary coffee. '
"I said , 'What is Postum ? '
"Then she told me how it was a
food-drink and how much better she
felt since using it in place of coffee or
tea , so I sent to the store and bought
a package and when it was made ac
cording to directions it was so good
I have never bought a pound of coffee
since. I began to improve immediate

"I cannot begin to tell you how
mch better I feel since using Postum
tind leaving coffee alone. My health
is better than it has been for years
and I cannot say enough in praise of
this delicious food drink. " *
Take away the destroyer and put

do the rest. That's what you do when
Postuin takes coffee's place in your
diet. "There's a Reason. "

A few dollars added to the price of
something good is soon forgotten.
While the quality long remains. In the
case of a cow , if she is young she will
long remain on the farm herself , wuila
her stock will live on indefinitely.
Sometimes it is worth an amount that
cannot be correctly given in figures
to get a start in a good milk strain.
Swine parasites congregate around
the ears and along the spine , and if a
mixture of lard and kerosene , half and
half , be , dripped on the animals at
these points while they are feeding ,
as often as lice are seen , the paraj
sites will soon disappear and not re
turn.
Many people lose their bulbs in
winter , even after following some di
rections supposed to be safe. This is
because there are variations in con
ditions of temperature or moisture
which the directions , did not cover.
If we are to succeed In breeding
any sort of live-stock or grain , we
must , above all things else , maintain
the vigor or vitality of the stock , or
else eventually be defeated in our
purpose.
Many farmers have discarded all
fowls and pater to the duck business
altogether as they will produce twice
as many eggs in the run of a year
than any flock of hens , regardless of
variety or breed.
There may have been a time when
the cow , in order to protect herself
from wild animals , needed horns , but
at this day and age there is no longer
need for them , for this purpose.
The rule for feeding grain in the
Wisconsin experiment station dairy
herd is to give as many pounds of
grain as the cow produces pounds of
butter-fat per week.
Young pigs are so partial toward
foods rich in protein that they will
acquire an ftxcess of that element if
given an opp6rtuuity , thereby stunt
ing their growth.
Do not neglect to keep the feet of
the driving horses sharply shod. It
may save bad wrenches and will
greatly add to the comfort of the ani
mals.
Never allow the chickens to drink
from a vessel in which the ice must
be broken , because they will not
drink enough to supply their needs.
Every farmer must realize that he
must keep sheep that have fleeces
which weigh at least 10 pounds , be
fore this industry will pay him.
A variety of pasture and food makes
a pig thrifty , and he will take on flesh
faster than where he is fed on corn
and confined In a dirty pen.
Where it is possible it is best to
defer the selection of sow pigs for
the breeding herd until they have
made considerable growth.
Good use cantbe. made of newspa
pers when through reading by put
ting them on outside of henhouse or
hog pen to keep wind out.
When cows are given less food than
they require for maintenance and
milk production the milk production
must suffer or the cow.
The primary principle to be ob
served in the preservation of eggs is
the protection , of the inferior from
cbntact with the air.
What the farmers want Is a hog
that will give the best returns for the
feed which is given him , either big
type or little type.
\
It is useless to attempt to raise
early chickens for the market unless
you have provided a place to care for
them.
L
stand the elementary principles of
feeding is not abreast of the times.
When the foal is taken away from
the mare , he should have a box stall
that is well lighted and ventilated.
Dairy cattle present a flattering field
for the man who is prepared to give
his attention to that industry.
Cleanliness in the poultry house and
around the ground will cause the
ilocl : with health to abound. is
The one important factor necessary
for the proper curing of corn is an
oven circulation of air.
Grr.ss is mighty good for shsep , but
/
they should not be allowed to fill up
on : ro ttittGn % grass.
Corn and alfalfa alone fed to beef
cattle will make very large gains in
weight , while at the same time the
use of well-cured corn fodder in ad
dition to corn and alfalfa will cheap
en the ration of corn and. make the
gains less costly because of the low
market valu * . of the fodder , and in
this way it is usually more profitable
than corn and alfalfa alone.
When colt training is done aa it
should be , eight or ten half-hour les
sons given in systematic order will
accomplish more , and put a colt in
condition to stand more severe tests
than the haphazard go-as-you please
methods now commonly practised can
do in two years.
Don't try to see how warm you can
make your hog house this winter ;
but see how well "bedded you can keep
it and how well you can ventilate it.
Fresh air is needed by 'the hog as
much as It is by any otheV animal on
the farm.
A day is coming very soon , when
butter won't sell as rapidly and at as
high prices as it \ s bringing former
ly. And when that day comes , the
question of quality in determining
sales is going to be more important.
Paint the outside of the buildings in
the autumn after the hot weather is
.
past , or in the winter. Oil paint , un
der cold , hardens so as to be much
more durable than when it dries un
der , heat.
The disposition the likes and dis
likes of each cow may be studied
carefully while the animals are
around their keeper , and one can then
feed and care for them accordingly.
It will not do to allow ducks to
share the common lot of poultry in
general ; not that they require more
attention , but rather a different man
ner of handling and feeding.
There is one thing which vermin
cannot stand , and that is fire. The
nest-boxes and roosts held over a big
blaze for a moment or two will be
entirely rid of the pests.
Build your barns a little larger than
you need at the present moment. Few
men ever get too much barn room.
Plan for future growth , and then see
to it that you grow.
Drafts of air cause bad colds , and
that means a cessation of egg making.
To stop all cracks and crevices with
paper and rags i " j . On the ixirt
of the poultryman.
Sheep are extremely sensitive tc
heat. In hot weather their fleece is
a burden to them. They are a cold
country animal under the most nat
ural conditions.
The profit in poultry raising for
market lies in hatching early , pushing
the chickens forward as rapidly as
possible , and marketing them earlj
in the season.
Do not wash eggs before packing
them. Washing removes from the
shell the mucilagenous coating which
nature provides for their temporary
preservation.
Among the essentials of the .suc
cessful management of a farm fiocli
of mutton sheep are that we treat
them in a manner adapted to their
nature.
Make a feeding platform for the
hogs eight . .inches high with a two-
.
inch protecting board all around tc
keep the feed out of the winter's mud.
There is no kind of animal breed
ing that will pay better than the
,
breeding of horses , but horses that
will sell , not dunghills or misfits.
The increase in a flock of sheep rep
resents almost entire profit to the man
who has no rentals to pay "and keeps
his sheep on government land.
Nest eggs are not needed to Induce
hens to lay. They have no influence
whatever over the hens , and have
been discarded on most farms.
We mur : cool the milk in order to
stop the ravages of what is now
known to be the bacteria that so soon
work injury to new milk.
Pregnant ewes should never be kept
in the enclosure with the rest of the
flock , because accidents are liable to
cause loss of the lambs.
The mare should be fed at all times
with a liberal ration of clean and nour ,
ishing feeds , and should have an abun
dance of pure water.
Remove the harness and heavy col
lars during the noon hour. To go
over the horses with a stiff brush at
noon revives them.
Keep the egg record up every day.
If you skip one day , even , the rest '
will all be a guess , and guessing isn't
like/business.
The three great constituents which
plants remove from the soil ase nitro
gen , phosphoric acid and potash.
Selling the younger heifers that the
other dairyman wishes most to buy
grading the herd downhill.
Glean away the droppings each
morning and lice and disease are not
apt to" bother the biddies.
In the last hundred years wpnderful
advancement has been made in the1
of live stock
STYLE IN SANDWICHES
JUST MOW THE ROLL SEEMS TO
BE IN VOGUE.
Triangles and Narrow Oblongo Also
Are Much Favored Nice Discrimi
nation Called for on Part of
the Hostess.
The modern sandwich is small and
shapely. The favorite form just now
is round , though triangles and nar
row oblongs are- also good. . A rather
novel form is the roll. The thin slice
Is spread as for a sandwich , then roll
ed in on itself until about the thick
ness of two fingers. Sharp biscuit
cutters are used for round shapes aft
er the slices of bread are put together
with the filling.
Too great care cannot be eaken in
shaping , as sandwiches of uneven size
are not appetizing and reflect upon
the social knowledge of the hostess.
If made several hours before they
are used , sandwiches are packed closely
ly- together and wrapped in a linen
cloth wrung from ice water , then in
a dry cloth.
Pass on silver sandwich plates , with
lace doily underneath , or neatly heap
ed on a flat china or glass plate cov
ered with a doily. Where many sand
wiches are served a small chop plate
Is often utilized. Where there is a
muffin stand the sandwich plate is set
on one of the shelves , with a plate of
crackers and a basket of small cake *
on the other two.
Sandwich fillings are of three or
ders meat , in which is included fish
and egg sandwiches ; cheese mixtures ,
and sweet sandwiches.
' There are also various greens ,
though lettuce is so much used with
all forms that it can scarcely be
classed by itself. In this class may
be put celery or endive run through
a fine meat chopper and mixed with
mayonnaise ; cress and nasturtium
tendrils and pods mixed with French
dressing , and parsley chopped fine and
mixed with shredded peppers or
shredded onion.
For tea purposes decided onion mix
tures are better omitted , though finely
chopped white onion is relished with
capers and anchovy fillings.
For ordinary purposes cold meat or
.poultry run through a fine chopper and
mixed to a paste , with rich cream and
seasoning of salt and paprica , are de-
Hcious and not so rich as the mayon
naise fillings. Chicken and tongue
'mixed ' in equal parts are a pleasing
novelty ; so is shredded bacon and
'ground chicken , with strips of pimen
tos.
. Most of the meat and fish salad left
overs can be used as sandwich filling.
Hot lobster Newburg makes a deli
cious sandwich ; so does creamed crab
with red peppers , and finely chopped
shrimps w .h capers masked in mayon
naise.
Green or red peppers chopped fine
and mixed with mayonnaise make a '
favorite filling , the latter being espe
cially artistic.
Some Carpet Notes.
Do you know that carpet , like an
cient Gaul , is divided into three
classeses ? First there is the jacquard
( carpet with cut or uncut pile and a
mechanical repeat from pattern. In
this class are included brussels , wil-
ton and ingrain. Then there is the
enlightening title of non-jacquard. Ax-
minster and chenille carpets are in
group.
Finally , there is the printed class ,
/which includes fabrics on which the
design is printed after weaving.
Favor is awarded to carpets in the
following order : Brussels comes first ,
followed by wilton , axminster , ingrain ,
tapestry and , last of all , velvet.

A small West Philadelphia boy may

finished his first essayr It is on a dog.
"A dog is a animule with four legs ,
ia tale and pants but he never changes
them. He wags his tale when he is
glad and sits on it when he is sorry. A
dog is a useful animule because he bites
burglars but he is more trouble than
he is worth when he tracks mud on
the carpet. A bull dog is the king of
ibeests. "
The wealth of a man is the number
of things which he loves and blesses ,
which he is loved and blessed by.
