WANTED TO BE AGREEABLE
Farmer's Rather Humorous Explana
tion for Telling Exceedingly
"Tall" Story.
Irving Ratcheller once told, a story
of a farmer on the Connecticut hills.
"Pretty steep land for planting. Isn't
it?" a visitor asked the tiller of the
soil.
"Pretty steep." the farmer assented.
"I suppose it's quite difficult to
plant your corn?"
"Quite difficult." came the echo.
The visitor was interested, and
would not be put off with short re
plies. "Eh how do you manage to plant
on this hill?" he persisted.
The farmer gazed at him pityingly.
"Wo have to shoot it all into the
earth with shotguns, stranger," he as
sured his guest.
The visitor gasped. "Really?" he
ejaculated. "Really now? Is that ac
tually true?"
The farmer sighed and turned upon
his guest a look of withering scorn.
"So, that isn't true," lie answered.
"I'm trying to make conversation."
A WOMAN'S KIDNEYS.
Are Often Responsible for Untold
Suffering.
Mrs. 7. II. Kaiser, Whitney, Nebr.,
says: ".Many times during the night
I was obliged to arise becauso of too
frequent passages of kidney secre
tions. Again they be
came scanty, were
very thick and attend
ed by burning and
scalding. Soon a drop
sical condition bo
came manifest and I
began to worry. My
feet and ankles were bloated and I
was in a bad way when I began with
Doan's Kidney Pills. I used four
boxes and was entirely cured."

Successful Life Work.
"He has achieved success who has
lived well, laughed often, and loved
much; who has gained the respect of
Intelligent men and the love of little
children; who has filled his niche
and accomplished his task; who left
tho world better than ho found it,
whether by an improved poppy, a
perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who
has never lacked appreciation of
earth's beauty or failed to express it;
who has always looked for tho best
In others, and given the best he had;
whose life was an inspiration; whose
memory a benediction." President
Schurman.
A Frequent Speaker.
A member for a northern constit
uency, who was one day reproached
by a disappointed supporter for never
opening his mouth In the house, repu
diated the accusation with indignation.
Not a day passed, ho declared, but
that he said something; and it was
reported in the papers, too. In con
firmation of his statement ho pro
duced the report of the last debate,
and pointed triumphantly to the
"Hear, hears." with which certain
speeches were punctuated. "That's
me," he said. Tit-Hits.

The Final Settlement.
"A verdict for 510.000 isn't so bad."
said the junior partner. "How much
shall we give our client?"
"Oh, give him $j0."' answered the
senior partner. "But hold:'
"Well?"
"Don't be hasty. Promise to give
him $30."
Advantages.
"You must have found the arctic cir

"Yes," replied the arctic explorer;
"but it has its advantages. The cli

Remove the orchard litter.
Sweet clover is very drouth-resisting.
Plan for an orchard this year, if you
naven't got one.
The cow is the final Judge as to
the real worth of silage.
Rye straw is of very littlo use on
the farm except for bedding.
A cow should be dried off for a few
weeks before the calving period.
Keeping records of the cows is oft
entimes tho first step toward success.
During the summer months poultry
consume a large amount of green for
age. Chickens are always considered
moro or less of a side line on the
farm.
Plenty of out-door exercise and
fresh air will insure a crop of vigor
ous lambs.
Regularity in milking helps the flow,
during the present and all subsequent
lactation periods.
Good drainage to a cow stablo Is ab
solutely necessary, and a cement floor
serves this end to good advantage.
Keep your chicks on dry ground,
where they can get no red worms,
and they are not likely to have gapes.
Except when pigs are small, two
feedings of warm, sloppy feed per
day. morning and evening, is suffi
cient. The trap nest picks out the layers,
the best brooders, the drones and the
unprofitable hens as well as the egg
eaters.
The season has arrived when farm
ers and gardeners should begin testing
seeds to determine their power of ger
mination. There will be no danger of white
specks, or black specks either. In the
butter if the cream is strained Into
the churn.
The sooner anyone gets rid of "cull"
stock the better, and when a favorable
opportunity comes It Is well to take
advantage of it.
A cow that is run down or hide
bound, the result of faulty digestion
and assimilation, needs a tonic to
build up her blood.
Many of the troubles experienced at
lambing time are are result of rough
handling and treatment during the
period of pregnancy.
The fanner's family is fortunate In
having an abundance of good food at
all seasons of the year, but this is
especially true in the winter.
Every farmer can have plenty of
eggs and chickens for himself and for
market if he will only turn a little of
his energy toward the hen house.
Are there not some places about the
farm where evergreens ought to be
planted? They mako a splendid wind
break about the barns and yards.
In hauling manure. Ice, wood or oth
er slow work about the farm where a
team stands a good share of the time
(he use of blankets is to be recom
mended. You must keep track of your hens
and know what they are doing If you
are going to keep them at all. and
then you can have as largo a flock as
you can manage.
There Is no danger of cattle chok
ing on shredded fodder. They chew
It the samo as hay before they at
tempt to swallow it and it goes down
their throats as easily.
Some one who has not been asleep
all the time during recent years has
said: "Cement and alfalfa are going
to mako western farmers the most
Independent people on earth."
For lice on hogs sprinkle them with
a trustworthy dip. which can be done
most readily with a sprinkling can. or
by pouring slowly into a can which
has been filled with holes in the bot
tom. Sweet corn Is one of the bsst sum
mer tablo vegetables. Grow plenty of
It this year and have a succession
coming on for late summer and fall
use. A good way to get an early
start of sweet corn is to plant seeds
in pieces of sod in the house or hot
bed and plant the young corn in the
garden as soon as the weather out
side will permit.
The value of manure varies with
the water content. Manure from cat
tle contains a large amount of water.
Manure from horses and sheep has
much less, because, on account of the
shape of the bowel, it comes in pel
lets or balls, and hence has a chance
to dry out. Therefore, it has much
more nitrogen, phosphorus and potas
sium per ton than that from cattle.
This Is particularly true of sheep, en
account of the exceeding dryness of
the product
Poultry prefer light bouses.
Be careful of your feed with all
stock.
Drainage is a necessary foundation
for a good road.
Gapes can be cured by fumigating
the chicken with sulphur.
Select your cockerels to overcome
the shortcomings or your hens.
Baked potatoes occasionally fed to
the chicks are relished by them.
Butter fat seems to absorb more
moisture when comparatively warm.
Many growers think there is more
money in raspberries than strawber
ries. Sunshine Is a great purifier; allow
it free access in the barn whenever
possible.
Milk is very susceptible to filth and
disease, and care must be exercised
In handling it.
The cow that does not yield a profit
nt the pail eats just about as much as
the cow that does.
Don't plant any flowers In straight
row3 except hollyhocks or sunflowers,
or plants for borders.
The one cry against the general
practice of dairy farming is that it
requires too much labor.
The well ventilated barn will be
more comfortable on the coldest day
than one poorly ventilated.
Twenty acres of corn put into the
silo is worth more in feeding a dairy
herd than 20 acres in the crib.
Don't forget about the lice these
days, when the hens are shut up a
good part of the day and night.
There Is a best temperature for each
Individual lot of cream, but this can
be determined only by experience.
If the man who has no silo would
watch ills neighbor feed and watch
the results he would soon have one.
Do not neglect to use these days
when the ground is frozen hard to
dress the land liberally with manure.
A hill of potatoes stripped by bugs,
or on wheh the leaves are Injured by
blight, cannot give a satisfactory
yield.
Whitewashing or painting the In
terior of the cow stable Is advisable
and does not bring a burden upon the
daio'iuan.
Place no reliance In the theory that
breeds contaminate by simply seeing a
different variety on the other side of
the fence.
Unless the dairy farmer really
knows a good dairy cow when he 6ees
one. he should not attempt to build
up a dairy herd.
There is a tradition that cows will
do better in warm weather than in
cold weather, but experience has dis
proved this fact.
The best way to feed straw to
horses and mules at work is to re
duce it to chaff and mix it with mid
dlings and corn chop.
No animal suffers more readily from
intense cold in the winter or more
severely from intense heat In the
summer than the hog.
Get ahead of the season in all gar
den work. By and by the rush of
other things will come and a part of
this work may be neglected.
Plant strawberries as soon as the '
season will allow. Xext year's crop
depends upon the start made this sea
son, so strawberry growers say.
To seed down a vegetable garden
after the earth has been worked, t
fined and raked thoroughly, the first
needful thing is to level the ground.
The time will soon be here when we
hall need seed corn for planting. It
is always well to make a selection
and have all things ready before plant-
ing time.
The cow freshening in the spring
will produce a maximum flow of milk
during the first couple of spring
months because of the Ideal condi
tions of the pastures.
If perches, houses and coops are
thoroughly treated now with a good
mite destroyer there will be no dan
ger of their making any further trou
ble until next summer.
Stables should be cleaned carefully
daily, and disinfected thoroughly at
least twice during the winter season,
and always after a case of disease
among the animals in the stable.
Before commencing to fatten, chick
ens should be thoroughly dusted with
insect powder, and this .-liould be re
peated at least twice during the feed
ing period to keep them free from
vermin.
Set out a few flowers and fruit
plants each year, and scon you will
have an abundance. Many people
never have any yard and garden
worth speaking cf because they al
ways neglect to order and set out
plants in season. :ways fully believ
ing that they will not forget it the
next year. A good motto In garden
ing is. "Do it now."
Alfalfa makes the hens cackle and
the turkeys gobble. It induces the
pigs to squeal and grunt with satis
faction. It causes the contented cow
to give rails full of creamy milk and
the shorthorn and whitefaced steers
to bawl for the feed rack. Alfalfa
softens the disposition of the colt and
hardens his bones and muscle3. It
fattens lambs as no other feed and
promotes a wool clip that is a verita
ble golden fleece.

Denominational Puzzle.
The wife of a prominent Unitarian
clergyman is still wondering what her
cook meant. She was a new cook, and
there was every reason to believe she
was a good cook. At any rate, she
j had unquestionably served in good
families, and she brought the best of
references. Nevertheless, her new
mistress did not hesitate to give her
a few instructions.
"One thing I want you to remem
ber, Nellie." said she. "is the way we
like our oatmeal. Don't leave it wa
ter1. But we don't like it hard and
! dry. either."
I "Trust me. mum," responded the
cook, confidently. "I'll get it right,
never fear. I've worked in Unitarian
families before."

Unique Party for Children.
A mother of three lovely children
confided to me that her great success
in entertaining children was due to
her aim to have each little guest
equally interested.
With this idea in mind she Is going
to give this novel and really fascinat
ing party. She calls it "Tradesman's
Carnival." The very name has excited
the curiosity of the children as well
as their mothers. The hours are from
3:00 to 5:30 on a Saturday afternoon.
The ages of the guests are from eight
to twelve, and there will be 15 if
all accept, her three making 18, about
all she can seat comfortably at small
tables in the dining room.
The tradesmen she is to have rep
resented are tailor, dressmaker, pot
ter, jeweler, flower maker, sign paint
er, artist, basket maker, upholsterer
and carpenter. Two or perhaps three
will work at the same trade. When
the guests arrive they will be given
cards with the name of the trade they
are to represent Then the little
craftsmen go to a table, where their
materials are prepared ready for them
and one or two assistants to show
where they are to work. One hour is
to be the time allotted to make the
finished products, then a bell will
ring and the articles collected and
placed on exhibition. The children
ire to be allowed to vote as to the
first second and third best piece and
the prizes will be awarded. Each
child is also to take home the object
made and each receive a souvenir, so
all will feel satisfied.
For Marking Linen.
When ready to mark table linen,
sheets, pillow cases and towels in any
quantity it is best to have the letters
For Dressing Table
i It sV91Fvi
IN THIS sketch we show a useful lit
tle watch stand and trinket-holder
for the dressing table, made by aid of
a small cardboard box and some rem
nants of silk.
The lid is removed and fitted over
one end of the box in an upright posi
tion, and fastened in its place with
two paper fasteners run through on
either side. The left hand sketch il
lustrates this.
The next step Is to cover the card
board foundation smoothly with some
pretty remnant of silk or brocade, and
pack both the box and lid. as far as
possible, with cotton wool. A strip of
Newest Tea Cosies.
Quite the newest tea cosies are
fascinating creations made of white
linen heavily embroidered in an open
pattern to show off a silk lining of a
gay color. That the cosy may fit
over any sized teapot, even the most
capacious, it has end pieces let in.
and these are of plain liifen, un
adorned like the rest, so that here the
colored lining docs not show through.
The seams of the cosy are covered
by a handsome white cord, artistical
ly knotted here and there to give a
pretty effect.
Couch Cover Made at Home
An attractive and artistic couch
cover may be evolved from six and
two-thirds yards of burlap and some
linen floss.
Purchase two colors of burlap, three
and one-third yards of brown and the
same amount of natural linen color,
if it is to harmonize with mission fur
niture. The dark burlap is then cut length
wise in three strips and the lighter in
two long strips. A strip of the darker
forms the center, with a wider strip of
a
m
specially designed in the proper sizes
so one may do the stamping at home.
The size most in use for tablecloths
are letters three inches long in an in
terlaced script If old English letters
are used one large letter is preferable
to two or three. For napkins the let
ters should match the cloth only
about two inches in length. Sheets
have the same size letters as a table
cloth and pillow cases the same as
napkins.
Before deciding upon the marking it
is well to look over designs. There
are linen cases for holding just a
dozen napkins and another pretty way
to keep napkin sets together is to
have straps made of fancy white silk
elastics with clasps to go around both
ways. Towels may be kept separate
in the same manner.
For Lent.
In so-called "society" social func
tions assume a simpler character dur
ing Lent and many overworked ma
trons who live in a grand whirl of din
ners, balls and teas are recuperating
for the summer season by resting at
southern resorts.
During the next few weeks sewing
circles will spring up like mushrooms
and really a surprising quantity of
work will be turned out for the benefit
of charities and "friendly aid" all
over the country.
A coterie of young matrons have
formed themselves into what they call
the "Doll Brigade" and they are each
pledged to dress five dolls during
Lent with clothes that will come off.
An interested set of young men have
promised to provide each doll with a
trunk and next Christmas these self
same dollies are going to a certain
ward in a large city hospital that
bears the placard "Incurable."
Perhaps we all do not keep Lent,
but I say any season of the year that
causes this sometimes apparently self
ish world to stop and think how best
to helpi others is a good thing and I
hope to be able to chronicle some
scheme for lending the "helping hand"
each week in this column until the
glad Eastertide.

For which reason, listen well to
their kinds.
Satin quills, with velvet midribs.

be ornamented in any other way that
suggests itself. The edges might be

came for his money the speaker de
termined to make him Indorse a terse
sentiment on books, so he wrote out a
check for $73. the amount due, and on
the back of it he Inscribed:

price, but for the ease and grace with
which he put It over your Uncle Joe
it was well worth the money." Hu
