Thcro is no occupation in which evi
dences of real success or the reverse
are so patent to all observers as that
of farming. The farmer who is pros
perous doesn't h?ve to make declara
tions of the fact.
The signboards which testify of hia
success will be well kept roadsides,
fences in good repair, thrifty orchards,
washes in fields arrested by proper
means,. pastures with abundant grass
growth...--but free from weeds, good
grades of stock, provision for protect
ing stock in times of cold and storm,
poultry yard and house in condition to
be profitable, manure intelligently
saved and wisely used, a good garden
spot, and this tilled so as to make it
pay. farm Implements shielded from
summer's sun and winter's storm.
These signboards will be read by
neighbors and the casual passer by, and
yetthe buildings may not be palatial,
though , we are heartily in sympathy
with the best farm home that can be
provided without Incurring debt.
T/p bring about these unmistakable
?vidences of thrift -means exercise of
br?]wn and brain. The latter especial
ly must be put to work and worked
hard. Did you know that there are
m??e people who are lazy mentally
tlian there are of those who are phy
sically lazy? Many will do, and do it
well, a task that has been all arranged
for^them, but when left to individual
.resources where the exercise of mental
powers in forming plans ls demanded
such men arc utter failures. The pow
er to formulate wise plans and to exe
cute them or have them executed ls a
business faculty that is too often over
looked on the farm. A commercial en
terprise would pay what a farmer
would regard as an exorbitant salary to
a man possessing this efficiency, and
yet. no business requires lt more then
that of farming.-Kural World.

Falling Leaning Tree.
To fall a leaning tree in the opposite

to which you wish the tree to rall chop
in two or three inches; then with a
cross-cut saw-a narrow one is best

directions a bending or leaning tree
can bc laid in almost any direction.
When to Pat an Sections.
We put sections on the hives of all
strong colonies during apple bloom.
But as locations are different, all can
not follow this plan. But a good rule
to go hy is, when bees begin to whiten
the top bars with new wax, or when
they become too crowded and begin
to cluster out in front of the nive,
then is about the right time to put on
section boxes for surplus honey. Bet
ter a little too early than too late, for
If a colony once gets the swarming
fever, nothing will prevent them from
swarming.-F. G. Herman, In Ameri
can Agriculturist
Poultry Feeding.
^hose who want fat chickens or
turkeys should remember that the only
way is to begin by feeding right from
the beginning. Do not trust to their
being able to pick up a UT lng in the
Heids for the summer, and then fatten
in a few weeks before killin*. If i'uey
find enough to eat when running at
la.ge they will eat but little ur not at
all when they come up at night, but
lt should be placed where they can
get it if they want lt. Never let them
go to roost until they have had all they
care to eat of sound grain, and we pre
fer the whole grain to any mash as the
last food of the day. Of course those
who keep their fowl in yards do not
need this advice, but they need to feed
at regular hours and give as much as
they will eat at night.
Improving the Farm.
The cause of the increasing number
of run down farms is from a lack of
knowledge of the primary principles
of agriculture. The land deteriorates
without attracting attention. This
decline Ih the farm's fertility is going
on all the time, slowly but surely, and
the amount produced each year be
comes less and the farmer finally
awakes to the fact that his farm ls
wearing out. and he knows not how to
stop the wear. He keeps up the pro
cess of taking off and hauling to the
market the wheat, corn and oats, pas
tures the stalks with the hogs and
milch cows and these help In tue work
of destroying the mechanical condi
tion of the soil. The straw is burned
In the wheat field or else is stacked in
the open yard and the cows eat anrt
destroy it as they brave the rigors of
winter. Because of n lack of early |
training in the correct principles of
good farming he does not see his er
rors and the work of reducing the
farm's productiveness continues until
lt gets a name that makes it practical
ly unsalable.
Hie Farmer's Dog.
A good dog ls of most inestimable
value to the farmer, but a useless cur
is worse than a nuisance. There are
but comparatively few dogs in tne
country that are worth their keep.
Nearly every farmer owns a dog, some
times three orfour; but few are in any
way trained to be useful. Dogs are In
telligent creatures and will often pick
np enough of their legitimate work
about the farm to be useful, but the
average eur rarely does. Jn the dog,
as in all other animals, blood tells. The
popular idea seems to be that a dog ls
n dog, and more or less of a nuisance.
To pay a good price for a pup would
call down the scorn of the neighbor
hood. And if the dog grew to be a
big, flne-looklng fellow, the chances
are that he would be poisoned by some
one who cannot realize that the dog
is the noblest of animals. A neighbor
hood ls certainly better off for being
rid of a cur, but to wilfully murder a
fine, good-tempered animal simply be
cause he is large and strong ls nothing
less than criminal. In our home town
in the past two years there have been
no less than a half dozen Newfound
land. St. Bernard and mastiff dogs
poisoned. Not one of them was vicious
or ill-natured, and all were very fond
of children. No one eau keep a large
dog in the town, yet the streets are
full of mongrels and curs at all hours
of the day and night. It ls but rarely
that these animals meet an untimely
end.-The Epitomist.
Whitewash and Paint on the Farm.
From a beautifying standpoint noth
ing excels a fresh coat of paint -on
dwellings, buggies, wagons and all
other farm implements; along with a
liberal use of whitewash on all the
outbuildings, fences, gates and shade
trees. A beautiful home is a potent
factor in begetting cheerfulness and a
love for farm life. The many compli
mentary remarks from visitors and
passersby concerning the neatness and
conveniences of the home surround
ings will add contentment to remnin
on the farm and not be wanting to re
move to town where we would bc
cramped for want of room and often
for things to eat that could and would
be had on the fnrm.
From a hygienic point of view for
man, beast and fowl, a liberal use of
paint and whitewash doubly pays for
all cost. Remember, that paint is a
great preserver of dv/elllngs and farm
Implements that are exposed to weath
er. Who doubts the use of lime or
whitewash as a disinfectant around
dwellings, on stock barns and poultry
houses?
Another reason why paint and white
wash should be liberally used on all
farm buildings and surroundings:
Value many times the cost is added to
the farm, so if one should conclude to
bc forced to sell, he would be rewarded
for his outlay.
To have that pride and energy that
will keep all buildings and farm uten
sils with a fresh coat of paint and
whitewash will insure a credit nt the
bank, store or elsewhere that ofttimes
would be equivalent to money in the
pocket, or saving of time and annoy
ance.-R. H. Webb, in Farmer s Guide.
Profitable Use* of Skim Milk.
When the city milk dealers are pay
ing such starvation rates for milk, and
selling lt to customers at prices two
or three times as much as they have
to pay the producers for lt, the farmers
can put the products of their dalry to
some better uses than enriching the
city milkman. It ls all right for those
owning dalry farms near the markets
to talk of working up privat* custom
ers and of establishing milk routes
for themselves. The farmer and dairy
man who lives far away from the city
must forever be at the mercy of the
distributing agents In the city unless
he can control the use of his prodncts
so that thc sellers and retailers of it
must solicit his patronage.
There are many ways to use mille
with more profit than selling at two
and three cents a quart. There Is a
nutritive value In skim milk for feed
ing that should at once appeal to every
dairyman. We first have the chance
to skim off the cream and convert it
Into butter. That ls worth something,
and it will bring fair prices In any
market Let that, however, be ine
by product, not the main object of the
work. Feeding the skim milk to con
vert It Into money ls what we are aim
ing at. Suppose now we raise u droVo
op hogs sufficient to consume all the
skim milk produced In the dalry, and
then add a few colonies of chlcSenS.
Here we have two distinct sources or
consumption. The pigs will thrive and
fatten on skim milk when fed properly
with other ?ooil lh a way that will pay
for all the trouble and expense of
breeding them. This sort of breeding
docs not contemplate swill, and sour
at that No hogs will do their best on
sour awl'*, and no one should expect lt
of them ... these enlightened days. Hilt
If you want to make good ?Weet pork,
pork that is not oil fat, but solid and
firm, with lines of lean streaked in
lt, raise your drove of hogs on clover,
and feed them sweet skim milk and
some corn meal. Let thc milk be fed
as a liquid and also mixed up with the
corn. The clover will supply them
with one cln6S of food material, and
the milk and corn will add fat and
weight so fast that the pigs will pay
well on the investment. Skim milk
fed to pigs In connection with other
foods can be made to return a profit of
30 to 40 cents per 100 pounds. This is
far better than shipping the whole
milk to a glutted market In connec
tion with the butter profits, the dairy
should thus be made more profitable
than when run largely for the benefit
of the city milk dealer.-C. P. Raynor,
in American Cultivator.

A farmyard without at least three or

some sort of fruit tree, why so much
the better.
If you have any dead animals don't
leave them out for the crows. If you
do, you will find that your farm is
stocked better with crows than any

A Now Kind of Fly.
An astonished, but apparently satis
fied spider was one upon which a gen
tleman recently made an experiment.
The result of his investigations Is told
In Public Opinion:
While watching some spiders one
dny, it occurred to him to try what ef
fect the sound of a tuning fork would
have upon them. He had a strong sus
picion that they would take It for me
buzzing of a fly. Selecting a large,
fat spider, thnt had long been feasting
on files, he sounded the fork and
touched n thread of the spider's web.
The owner was at one edge of ids
web and the thread selected wai on
the other side. Over his wonderful
telephone wires the buzzing sound was
conveyed to the watching sp.dtr, but
from his position he ?roula not tell
along which particular hue the sound
was traveling.
He ran to the centre of th?' welt !n
hot huste, and felt all Rrotul iirlH be
touched the thread against the other
end of which the fork was sounding.
Then, taking another thread along
with him, as a precautionary measure,
he ran out to the fork and sprang upon
lt.
At this point he found out his mis
take. He retreated for a short dis
tance, and stopped to survey this new
buzzing creature which should have
been a fly, but strangely unlike any in
sect he had ever seen. At length, ap
parently convinced that the object at
the outer edge of his web was more
suitable for amusement than for an
article of diet he got on lt again and
danced with pleasure. It was evident
that the Bound of the fork was music
to him.

The application of scientific irriga
tion methods has recently given a new
development to rice culture in south
western Louisiana, ns explained in a
bulletin of the department of agri
culture. Rice requires wet lands, but
on such lands harvesting machinery
cannot be used. The difficulty has
been met by flooding the dry prairie
lands durlug the growth of the rice,
and then draining them by a system of
pumps, canals and levees, when the
crop ls nearly ripe. On the drained
6ands it is possible to use reapers to
harvest the rice; thus the cheap labor
employed in foreign rice-growing can
be met by American machinery.
The application of tho turbine prin
ciple to the motor machinery of ships
has achieved another triumph" In inc

facts concerning the surprising speed
of the Viper were discussed. On uer
second preliminary trial she nttained
a speed of 33.5 knots, equal to nearly
41 statute miles per hour. This is as
great a speed as that of many express
trains, and If it could be developed in
a great passenger ship and maintained
continuously would cut down thc time
needed to cross the Atlan"'" *~ nh**n\

slowly or at top speed the Viper ex

TEA AS AN ACTIVE POISON.
Ita Characteristic Element KUI* Cats ann
Babbits In a Laboratory.
Tea tippling has become the fashion
able dissipation. We have borrowed
the habit from Englnnd. Over 80,000
OOO pounds of tea is consumed each
year In the United States, women with
overtaxed nerves are the great con
Burners.
Dr. J. H. Kellogg declares that tea
is an active poison-that its active
principal, a substance called theln,
which cnn be distilled from tea in a
dry report, is fntabto life.
The theln in tea ls about 6 per cent,
of the totnl bulk. Experiments have
proved that about one-eighth of a grain
of it will kill u rabbit and 7 1-2 grains
will kill a cat. In one pound of tea
there ls an ounce of poison-enough
to kill 50 cats.
Ten grains of thelm will make a
mun ill and a half ounce of tea con
tains from 10 to 10 grnins.
Professor Lehmann, a German phy
sician, gave several men from eight to
10 grnins of theln each by way of ex
periment. None of them was able to
work for two days.
There are tea drunkards. Thore
have been cases of delirium tremens
from tea drinking. By chewing tea
leaves people can beeome thoroughly
intoxicated.
The woman who is tired takes B cup

Not only does tea contain no nour
ishment, but it interferes with diges
tion. The craving for lt is not nat
ural-ns is the desire for food. Taste
must become vitiated by its liuouual
use before lt becomes an apparent
necessity. Children drink it for the
cream aiiu sugar, older people for uie
effect.
Every one knows that tea contains
tannin. Add a little iron to tea and it
becomes black. Tea made in an iron
kettle ls ns black as Ink. Even stir
ring a strong cup of tea with an Iron
spoon will make lt turn black. xue
combination of tbe tannin of the tea
with iron makes ink. Leather is
made by soaking hides in a decoction
of bark which contains tannin.
? man who eats a beefsteak and
drinks a cup of tea starts a leather

steak in a cup of strong tea for brui
an hour. At the end of that time tht

Saliva digest* starch, and the tannin

The 5 o'clock ten table lins become a

EYE SALVE
EGOS IN COLD STORAGE,
Row They Are Kept by the Million for Use
la thc Winter Monte?.
Half a million dollars ls a large sum
of money to be Invested In so small and
apparently Insignificant a thing as
eggs, but that ls so approximately
the value of the eggs being placed In
the cold stornge warehouses of Kansas
City last spring. The season ls now
at Its height, and before the close about
120,000 cases, each containing thirty
dozen eggs, will be laid away for next
winter's use. This ls a much larger
quantity than was ever stored uere
before. Last season about 80,000 cases
were stored Ia Kansas City ware
houses. The increase ls" remarkable
for the reason that few dealers made
any profit In their venture last season,
while the majority lost $2 to $3 on
every case stored. One explanation of
the Increase ls that outside dealers and
speculators nre looking with more fa
vor on Kansas City as a storing point
and as a market where they can dis
pose of their holdings most satisfactor
ily.
There are many 'nterestlng details
In egg ?andllng which are hut slightly
known to the average consumer of
poached eggs and omelets. FPW people,
realize the ?umber of different hands
nn egg passes through on its Journey
from the nest where lt was laid in the
farmyard of the country to the dining
room where it ls eaten, in the city. The
Importance of eggs for use in the arts
and their commcvcinl Importance out
side of their vnlue as a food product
are Interesting. Candling eggs ls an
Important fea turo of the stornge sea
son. It is a slmpl? process of holding
au egg to the light in a dark room,
for the purpose of determining its
quality. Hondlers, who store eggs,
have learned by experience the neces
sity for eliminating all except the
lafgest, cleanest and freshest eggs from
cases which are to be carried In stor
age for several months. Charles A.
Molpr, head candler at Armour's, has
from ten to thirty men working under
his direction throughout the season.
The candling room ls long and narrow,
with benches fitted up around the wall.
At short Intervals electric lights are
strung from the ceiling.
The room has no windows and the
lights are so constructed that only a
ray of light ls admitted. Standing be
fore the light a workman examines
each egg by holding it up to the light.
If the ray shines through the egg clear
ly lt ls all right as far as quality is
concerned. Cleanliness and size are
two important conditions to be reckon
ed, and eggs must meet all the require
ments before they will be accepted for
storage. The attention paid to candling
has Increased each season. A few
years ago the only candling rooms In
Kansas City were small Inclosed spaces
In the rear of commission houses,
where only one man could work at a
time. Now many men consider egg
candling their regular trade, and ex
perts are well paid for their care and
efficiency. No one can tell whether
they have slighted their work until
next winter, when the eggs are taken
out of storage. The overlooking of one
decayed egg may cause the eggs of the
whole case to decay, and one case of
bad eggs would spoil dozens.
After the eggs have been candled and
selected and packed in new white wood
cases, they are placed in storage rooms
where a temperature of 31 degrees
Fahrenheit ls maintained. They are
held in that temperature until token
out next winter.

'Queer Story About Um br* I las.
A lady who keeps a summer boarding
house it tlie seashore near Boston went
down the other day to look the house
oveii and find out what must be renew
ed; She found numerous umbrellas'
left by former boarders, and, tying
them together, she took the buudle to
Boston to h?ve them repaired. Ehe
stopped id at Hovey's and laid the
bundie oh the floor at her feet at the
counter. When sho had made her pur
chases she forgot her umbrellas, and
absent-mindedly picked up an umbrella
lying oh th? counter; thinking lt was
hrcs, Or hot thinking at ail, and start
ed off.
Then the owner of the uinbrell?, a
wdma? standing next her, seized her
and said very sharply; "Yo? hdv? taken
r?y umbrelia!" Of course she apol
ogized- feeling very much cut np1 about
lt, aha went on, forgetting id her flus'
ter her own bundie of umbrellas. The
next day, on her woy to Cambridge,
she went to ?lovey's nnd readily recov
ered her lost package, which had been
kept for her. On the car for Cam
bridge she noticed a lady eying her
very closely. Presently this lady lean
ed forward and said to her, with ele
gant emphasis:
"You seem to have been more for
tunate to-day!"
It was the lady whose umbrella she
had taken the day before.-Boston

New York's Unknown Millionaires.
A Wall Street man who has been
making up a. list of old unsettled es
tates in New York City said that until
he began the work he had no adequate
appreciation of the great wealth of
this city. "For Instance," he said, "I
discovered an estate last week which
amounts to a good deal more than a
million and when the man who owned
it died suddenly several years ago no
one knew him outside of a little circle
of family friends. He was born In
New York City and lived here all his
life with real estate valued at more
than a million dollars in his name and
yet he never figured in any of the
lists of wealthy men. Of course the
Fayerwenther estate was a striking
example of unexpected wealth, but
there are many others which foot up lu
the millions and of? which the public
knows nothing. There ls no way to
get a directory of these valuable es
tates. Many of the trust companies
have lists of them, which they guard
closely. My Information has been
gained by following up all sorts of
clues and old records and if I decided
to publish it, after it had served my
purpose, it would make Interesting
reading.-New York Sun.
Plenty of Space Between Crops.
If a new variety of corn, melon, cu
cumber or tomato ls to be preserved In
their purity the plants of one variety
should not be grown near another. A
highly-prized novelty of a melon will
be ruined if other melons are grown
several hundred fee*, of it, or even a
greater distance, ab bees and insects
carry pollen from one plant to an
other. The fact that varieties of corn
will mix even when two or more kinds
are In distant fields, ls well known. If
seed is to be saved it is better to grow
only one variety of each kind of crop
and then select thc seed from the most
perfect specimens.

The summer's awful heat will kill those
not fit to resist it-those whose bodies are full
of poison because they have neglected their
bowels.
The victims of sunstroke, or of any of the
other terrible dangers of summer-diarrhoea,
dysentery, cholera morbus-are always those
who have been careless about keeping clean in
side, and as a result have their blood full of
rotten Tilth breeding disease germs and their
bodies ready with weakness to succumb to the
hot spell. Dizziness, heat headaches, sick
stomachs, sticky oozing ill-smelling sweafe,
restless nights, terrible pains, gripes and cramps
in the bowels, sudden death on ?he street, all
result from this neglect.
Keep yourself clean, pure and healthy in
side, disinfected as it were, with CASCARETS
CANDY CATHARTIC, the greatest antiseptic
bowel tonic ever discovered and you will find
that every form of summer disease will be
effectively

Feathered Ventriloquists.
Many birds form their sounds with
out opening their bills. The pigeon is
a well known Instance of this. Its
cooing can be distinctly beard, al
though it does not open Its bill. The
call is formed internally in the throat
and chest, and is only rendered audi
ble by resonance. Similar ways may
be observed In many birds and other
animals. The clear, loud call of the
cuckoo, according to one naturalist, is
the resonance of a note formed in the
bird. The whirring of the snipe, j
which betrays the approach of the bird
to the hunter, is an act of ventriloqu
ism. Even the nightingale has certain
notes which are produced Internally,
and which are audible while the bill
ls cloned.
