Turnip or rutabagas may be sown

More hawks and owls mean less

With hogs as with all other stock,
no single breed tan rightly claim to
possess the oniy good qualities.
Erery farm should be a miniature
experiment station. Every farmer
should be investigating and testing
out r,onje proposition which will im
prove conditions on his farm aul

It is a good rule in fattening hogs
never to feed quite as much as thcy
wanl, or not enough so they will
waste any. They will take the next
feed better and do better. At the
same time be sure to keep 'pens and
sleeping quarters well cleaned out.
In caring for the sheep remember
that the feed lot must be dry. with
plenty of clean, dry bedding; the ani
mals must have plenty of clean, pure
water, and the feed troughs should be
kept clean. These should be arranged
so that the sheep -cannot foul them
with their feet. Another point is to
keep them from becoming excited or
frightened. To this end it is better
that cue person feed them all the
time.
One-sided feeding isn't good for the
lockct book or the animals. Alfalfa
is a one-sided feed in the other direc
tion from corn, and should not be fed
exclusively any more than corn. Al
falfa cannot be balanced by feeding
bran, but can be balanced by feeding
corn or cornmcal. In roughage, tim
othy hay is a balancer to go along
witk ihe alfalla. One-sided foods are
good if they are properly combined
when being fed. The great number
of these foods make it imperatively
necessary that the feeder educate him
self on the constituents of the differ
ent kinds of plants and grains that
are used in stock feeding.
K the farmer wishes to be his own
repair 'man, and he can' do so in most
cases if he is at all handy, he will find
titat a vice and a set of taps and dies
wilt come in handy. Get sizes one
quarter, live-sixteenths, three-eighths,
seven-sixteenths and one-half-inch
iiulls. These sizes will cover almost
everything common on a farm. You
can buy blank nuts and you can cut
the rods any length you want with an
ordinary cold chisel. You can put a
nut on each end of the bolt. This an
swers just as well as to have a head
on Hie end and a nut on the other. A
great many farmers try to keep bolts
of different sizes, but it is much bet
ter to buy the round rods and make
your bolts as you want them.
Plums require the same generous
care, cultivation and fertility, as any
other fruit crop. None will respond
more quickly or give better returns
for the time and money invested than
plums. It is useless to try to grow
good plums without thorough culti
vation. To conserve moisture, which
'plums greatly need in their growing
season,, cultivation -should -begin in the
spring as soon as the ground is in
good working condition and continue
until July, when cover crops should
be sown. When conditions are suit
able we prefer clover, and have had
some very fine stands when sown
about the fiist of July. If not suitable
for clover, Tow peas, oats, barley or
rye. I would rather have the ground
covered with a big crop or weeds than
nothing at all.
Winter radishes may be sown the
latter part-of-aAugust. If sown earlier
they lack tkcvcrispness so desirable
to a vegetftilJUbf this kind and do not
keep welt.' it .sown much later they
may not have time to mature before
cold weaftierT No "special treatment
is required. The seed is sown like
otfMNr radishes and the cultivation is
aot essentially different. But if the
ground is dry it should be well mois
tened. A good way to do Is to make
a trench sir or eight inches deep and
fill it with water, repeating as it
soaks away until the ground is suffi
ciently moist; then fill with moist
earth and sow the seed in a row. Soil
so treated will remain moist for sev
eral days. The roots will endure a
light freeze without injury, but they
ought to be dug and stored before
winter sets in. They can be kept by
burying in pits like potatoes or tur
af ss, or they may be packed in boxes
of sand and kept In a cool dark cellar.
If stored is leaves a little water
should he poured in the box occasion
ally so as to prevent the roots from
shriveling. Unless they are plump
and brittle they are of little value.

A few years ago the silo was con

farm, but it has been found by ex
periments that all stock thrives on
the succulent feed when fed in the
right proportions.
Stock raising and specializing in
crops will not only give the farmer re
munerative employment, at all seasons
but the rotation of crops and feeding
live stock will keep up the fertility of
the land.
The robin eats insects largely. The
farmer can afford to give him the lit

the service he renders in eating bugs,
worms and so forth. Dr. Forbes has
investigated and found robins eating
cut worms extensively in the spring.
There are two methods of maintain
ing soil phosphates. Hy the pur
chase of feeding stuffs containing
phosphates, and by the purchase of
phosphate fertilizers. By buying bran
for feeding, phosphates may be largely
maintained on dairy farms. By the in
telligent use of important phosphate
fertilizers also, such as ground steam
bone meal, raw rock phosphate, and
acid phosphate, the phosphates of
most soils may be absolutely main
tained at a moderate cost.
Cut received by animals should re
ceive prompt, attention. Wash the
wound out with warm water to remove
dirt and germs that might cause in
fection. Disinfect the wrfund with a
solution of carbolic acid in ten to
twenty parts of water, and then bind
up or grease the wound to keep out
germs. An animal that is somewhat
wild nay have to be tied for the first
two or three times, but most any ani
mal will soon learn to know that ycu
are working for its good and will like
the treatment and become tame there
after, especially where the wound must
be dressed daily for several weeks.
Anyone can raise ducks successful
ly. The brooding time is only half as
long as that for chickens, and the
ducklings do not need nearly as much
heat in the brooder. The proper food
for ducklings is a bulky one. The
following mixture is good: One part
bran, two parts cornmcal. one part
beef meal. This last must never be left
out. as it is essential to make duck
lings, thrive and , grow big. To this
mixture is added about five per cent,
sand. Water must be available at all
times, but not deeper than the duck
lings' bills, and not cold. It must also
be protected so the little fellows can
not get in it. During the warm
weather provide plenty of shade. For
old ducks almost any shed will do- if
dry. Always use plenty of bedding.
For nests have ten-foot boards placed
one foot from the wall and left open
at both ends, so the ducks won't pile
up and break the eggs. Partly filled
with straw, in which the ducks will
bury the eggs. When more than one
flock is kept the birds should be
mated about January 1. just as they
are planned to be kept; that is. no
changes should occur after once
mated. If allowed to be together Jthus
for two or three weeks and then' an
attempt is made to unite the flocks,
it will be found that each will sep
arate from the other as soon as not
watched. On this account it is evi
dent that no changes should be made
after once mating up the flock.
The weather' conditions prevailing
when hay is put into the barn and for
a week thereafter determine to a
large degree the percentage of water
remaining in the dry hay. In the west
the percentage of moisture in timothy
hay is less than in the easL Prof.
Atwater found that on the average
timothy hay in New England retains
an average of 12 per cent, of water;
clover had had 14 per cent In Colo
rado, California and Utah the per
centage, of water might be expected
to fall 'considerably below this figure.
The percentage of shrinkage will, of
coursef'vary with the percentage of
water'!!? the hay when cured and put
in thebrn. .'.The Michigan Experiment-
station has performed more ex
periments along the-.line- of .shrinkage
of hay than any -other station, the re
sults of which havo been as-follows:
On June 27, 1896, five tons of very dry
timothy hay were drawn from the
field and, after weighing, were placed
in a separate mow. Just after harvest
it was covered with grain in the sheaf,
which was threshed out in September.
On January 26 it was reweighed and
found to have lost 684 pounds, or a
little less than seven per cent. Re
member that this hay was very dry at
the start. Two years later 5.600
pounds of timothy hay In fairly good
condition was hauled to the barn and
weighed out again the February fol
lowing. It had lost 776 pounds, or
13.8 per cent -The early cut hay loses,
other things being equal, aore than
late cut hay. The Peasylvanla sta
tion has shown that where the dry
cut had lost 2t 'per cent in .weight,
the lats cut hay lost hut 21.5 per cent.

- Some time ago I felt led to take a
pioneer journey into a new African
region. So. with Mrs. Wodehouse and
others, we started on a journey of
nearly five hundred miles, camping in
our little tents at night, writes Robert
Wodehouse, in Christian World. Our
oamp was made secure from the wild
beasts, lions, hyenas, tigers, etc.. by
putting down trees and piling them
around us; large fires were kept burn
ing all through the night to frighten
.the animals away. We met with vari
ous incidents; one night four iions
were roaring round us till the break
of day. but cur heavenly Father threw
his protecting care around us, so that
no one was hurt; another night our
hoys heard something just outside the
inclosure and. filled with panic, be
gan to scream and run toward our
tents, crying: "Shumba! Shumba!"
(Lion! Lion.)
Victoria is very beautiful in some
parts, and m others sublimely grand.
To this country we had come, not for
our own pleasure, not in search of dia
monds and gold, but to look for sites
where we might plant mission sta
tions and thus extend the work in
connection with our own church and
advance the interests of God's king
dom. We were hi search of kraals
and people. There was great curios
ity, for no missionary had ever been
seen in this part of the country and
they had never heard the Gospel; the
name of Jesus was a new name to
them. Mrs. Wodehouse was a con
tinual sourse of interest and curios- j
ity; the women and children would
crowd around and express their won
der that she was white; some would
come near enough to touch her hand
to see-if the color were real or would
rub off; they would examine her hair,
etc., keeping up a running comment
and exploding now and then with
laughter. Our cooking and food ar
rangements were source of great
amusement. Sometimes, when we ap
proached a kraal unawares, the little
children would run away with fright
in all directions, crying: "Yowe
mbuya! Yowe mbuya!" (Oh. grand-

We visited many chiefs and In
dunas, and stayed for a few days at
some of their big kraals, holding serv

The Ndanga district alone has some
70,000 people, without a single mis

In the year 1902 the first pioneer
missionary trip was taken in the dis
trict where we now have the flourish
ing Mutambara Industrial mission.
Accompanied by my daughter, Mrs.
Carson, we passed over mountains
and through forests and rivers, camp
ing out at night under some big tree
or huge rock. Occasionally we oc
cupied a Kaflir hut, which is usually
full of vermin. The ants come up
out of the ground underneath us In
myriads, and the rats and roaches
from the roof above us. We visited
several Icings, preaching the word at
every kraal, and were well received.
We visited Chief Mutambara at that
time, who received us within his cir
cular kraal most graciously. He put
one of his royal huts at our disposal,
welcomed us to his reserve, and asked
that a missionary might be sent to
his people.
Six months ago, Rev. A. L. Buch

for this great field. They reached
Mutambara's on the 9th of April of

A smaJift knot of representatives

gan to make camp. Soon the tent was
up, the canvas stretched over the
goods, and the kitchen established
under a tree. Some days later a grass
shack was built, which was used for
weeks as a dining-room and a drawing-room,
also a-sleeping place for one
of the party. Later a site for the
temporary house was chosen. Poles
were brought from the bush and grass
was cut to build a large bungalow, 60
feet long, with wide veranda. The
floors are of clay, beaten hard in the
native way. The only imported arti
cles used in the building are the small
windows, the doors and nails. When
the grass bungalow was finished, a
church, also used as a schoolroom,
was built in the same way, and the
missionaries were settled until the
friends at home help us to build per
manently. It Is our purpose to cultivate broom
corn, wheat, oats, rice and other ce
reals. Already we have all the ma
chinery for making brooms; the
broom corn grows as well as in the
slates. We have put in nearly 2,000
cuttings of the basket willow, as it is
our purpose to develop the industry
of basket making, at which the native
is an adept.
Some time ago we visited Maranki's
reserve and obtained the consent of
the king to open a mission in his land.
The site chosen was on the side of
Mount Makomwe. near the king's
kraal, 40 miles from the nearest white
settlement and midway between the
Sabi and Orizi rivers. Here was a
heathen people, almost strangers to
the visits of the white man. The peo
ple were nearly naked, and very dirty.
They oiled their bodies more than
thej- washed them. They drank beer:
they sang meaningless heathen songs
and played only as drunken heathen
can play. Their huts were so low
that they were obliged to crawl into
them on hands and knees. They did
not want our learning or religion.
They were afraid of the white man
who had come to live among them.
I At first all were curious to see the
j missionary and his goods, but they
j socn became more interested. Then
they began to think it was nice to
have a mssionarv near them for hc.
I healed their sores; he gave them med
icine and he let them taste of his
strange foods, which they said were
sweet. Their amusement was great
when told that it was possible to
write words on paper which another
could read, or, as they said, "make pa
per talk." A day school was begun
with three Christian boys, who came
with the missionary, and from time
to time others joined with them. The
sick and lame gather in the veranda
of the mission house for treatment.
The missionary has from five to fif
teen calls a day. and is able to help
many suffering ones.
This work is still conducted by the
missionary who began it. The land
has been cleared and planted with
fruit trees, which are now bearing.
The first, building (20x36. of poles and
mud, with a veranda all round it)
was built for a dwelling for the mis
sionary, but for over a year it had
to be used for church, school and dis
pensary as well. Then money was
sent for a church. This also is of
poles and mud and has been in con
stant use for church and school since
it was completed. Later the medical
misionary visited the mission and
built, with the aid of the boys, an ad
mirable dispensary, with four rooms.
Other buildings include a boys' dorm
itory, four huts for Christian families,
a trading hut, a guest hut and build
ings for sheep and goats. In that
heathen land there is now a day
school, with an enrollment of nearly
one hundred, an average Sabbath con
gregation or nearly one hundred. 15
full members. 40 probationers, a Sab
bath school, class meetings, midweek
prayer meeting, two native teachers,
many doing Christian work in the na
tive villages, preaching on Sunday to
the heathen and preparing themselves
for usefulness. The change wrought
is almost incredible. Many now wear
clothes. Christian men have taken
Christian women for wives.

A week from to-morrow is Labor

young teacher, as she thought of re-

labor and to wait," may have done in
-the time, when it was written, but
"Learn to Labor, not to wait,"- is more
.applicable to this day and generation,
for he who waits is hopelessly lost in
the shuffle.
But for the party of which I want to
tell it struck me as a very good thing.
The hostess is a young matron, who
is long in the knowledge of the so
called fine arts, but she is wofully
lacking in the knowledge of what I
call the "finer art" viz., domestic
science. Having been recently mar
ried and being desirous of doing -for
"Jack" just as "mother used to,"
only with modern approved methods,
she has asked six older housekeepers
to come to luncheon on Labor day,
and the invitations stipulate that each
me must be prepared to tell and, per
haps, illustrate, some practical way
of performing some household duty.
The hostess is going to provide cun
ning little notebooks and pencils in
which will be' written these discover
ies. The table -favors are all to be
symbols of labor in miniature tiny
brooms, dustpans, tubs. etc. and the
favors are to be the cntest of sweep
ing caps and the most approved mod
els of aprons, under which "little
wife" may safely wear a much-be-frilled
frock with perfect safety. The
menu is to be made up from the reci
pe book prepared by "special friends,"
so the hostess confided to me she felt
sure of results and would not have to
try them on "Jack" first. (I wonder
if he realizes his fortunate escape?)
I hinted broadly to be bidden to the
feast, but the hostess with charming
candor replied: "Xo. lime. Curtsey,
this is to be really and truly a plain
affair, without any furbelows, and
cannot be classed in your 'Novel En
tertainment.' It's too serious." Never
theless, I am hoping the readers will
appreciate the novelty of the idea, for 1
Five Suggestions
The first illustration shows a simple style well suited to Jap silk. Three
tucks are made at each side of back and front; the outer one is taken to waist,
the others join yoke and are stitched a few inches down: the plastron ami
yoke, which are cut in one. are of piece lace, with trimmings of cords and but
tons. The sleeves are three-quarter length, and are tucked to match.
Materials required: 2i yards silk :!6 inches wide, -?i yard lace, 1 dozen
buttons, 1 yard cord.
The second is an exceedingly pretty idea, and is carried out in pale green
spotted ninon and piece lace. The ninon is finely tucked for the yoke, and in
gauged on the outside of sleeve. Green silk to match is used to bind the edges
of the over-bodice, which is entirely of piece-lace.
Materials required: 2,, yards ninon JO inches wide, U yard green silk,
21'. vards lace 18 inches wide.
" The next design is also quite pretty, and is made up in mauve mercerizrd
lawn. Three tucks are made on each shoulder, and two each side of center
front and back. The 3oke, which is of fine muslin embroidery, continues to
waist in front, and a little way down at back; straps of embroidery edged with
material are taken over the shoulders, and mauve silk ornments are sewn in
the rounded ends. The sleeves are trimmed by groups of tucks and set to a
band of embroidery just below elbow
Materials required: 2 yards lawn
muslin embroidery IS inches wide.
In piece lace or cambric embroidery, the bolero would be both smart and
useful; the edges are bound with the same material as dress is made of.
Materials required: 2 yards lace IS inches wide.
The last is a simple pinafore bodice that is made up in nymph green linen
to match the skirt: embroidered galloon forms the trimming round opening :u
neck and arm-holes; the tab of embroidery which comes in center of front is
trimmed with three silk tassels.
Materials required: 1 yard linen :IC inches wide, 2(. yards embroidery,
3 tassels.

A Tree Shower.
A hostess with a large lawn de
vised this original and pretty shower
for a summer bride-elect. She had
the lawn gayly decorated with lan
terns and rugs spread in cozy spots
.surrounded by shrubbery with camp
chairs and little tables where tea was
served.
The guests were asked to bring ar
ticles for a "miscellaneous" shower.
After they arrived there was a short
musical program of love songs. The
packages were tied to a beautiful
evergreen, a real little Christmas
tree. It certainly was a loaded tree.
for the hostess had added a lot of tin
things like cooky cutters, graters, etc.,
lhat sparkled in a most bewitching
manner.
Each parcel was accompanied by a
rhyme or sentiment, which was read
aloud. The bride-elect was handed a
pair of scissors and clipped the rib-
ns, opening each parcel as she took
it down. This with serving of refresh
ments furnished entertainment for

I think it is going to be a mighty good

For Pre-Nuptial Luncheons.
The slipper, bell, rose, heart, true
lovers knot and circle (ring) are all
appropriate symbols for place "cards
at a bride-elect's luncheon or dinner
party. They may be easily made at
home. First cut the design out of
paper until it is satisfactory, then use
as a pattern on heavy dull paper or
cardboard that comes for just such
purposes.
A very slight knowledge of water
colors will serve to decorate them
with orange blossoms, forget-me-nots,
-heads of pretty girls with coronets of
tiny roses and the bride with a filmy
veil.
Entire figure place cards are ef
fective with a standard to hold them
upright at each plate. At one dinner
for a bridal party the place cards
were little photographs of the bride
and groom in frames of gilt with mats
made from the bridal gown.
' A coterie of college girls had these
unique souvenirs, which also served
as place cards. Books were made of
white satin, with the words' "Our Wed
ding Cards" done in gold. They were
to preserve the wedding cards of the
girls as they came out, and there were
spaces for newspaper clippings de
scriptive of the event; also places for
a few written notes.
I think photographs of the bride and
groom should be added to make this
record complete. The name of each
girl was done in gold on the outside
cover, and thus it made the place card.

grape juice and ginger ale mixed. Use
about a third or the latter. If white
grape juice instead of purple is chosen

mother writes an amusing article
about her experience feeding her boys.

change manifested itself In the child's

"Both husband and I use Grape
Nuts every day and keep strong and
well and have three of the finest,
healthiest boys you can find in a day's'

and cake give the youngsters a hand
ful of Grape-Nuts when they are beg

sweets. The result is. soon shown in
greatly increased health, strength and
mental activity.
