When to Kill- Hoes. The best time to kill hogs is just as soon ae-the season is cold enough. In winter the cost of increase, in weight is greater than in summer, and the nearer the approach of thc animal to maturity the slower it gams in pro portion to food consumed. _ I Plants Affected With Inserts. Window plants that appear yellow; or'do not have a healthy appearance are. overmaturetLbr affected- with in sects. The pots should be examined in order to discover if the drainage is perfect It is not necessary to have the earth wet., but simply moist, and to allow the earth to dry sotne will, do no harm. The dust in the rooms will settle in the leaves of the plants, which makes it necessary to give each plant a thorough washing occasionally. The Solids in the Milk. Although the law may fix a mini mum percentage of solids in the milk sold in market, yet milk varies accord ing to the kind of cows and the food and water allowed. It ls possible to water milk through the cow, and the milk from one cow will vary day after day. The highest percent of solids in milk found in England, when tests were made was 14.49 and the lowest was 11.02. The proportion of fat ranged from 2.20 to 4.85 percent, show ing that some of the milk was more than twice as rich in cream as others, in the United States the percentage of both solids and fat have been gr?ater where tests have been made. - ; .. . ' I Make the Pis Urow. Give the young pigs a good start. It will be to your interest to do so. A young pig that has once been stunt ed will never wholly outgrow it, no matter how good the subsequent care may be. Any animal being grown for meat should have feed enough to make & good gain every day from birth to slaughter. If there is ever a time in that animal's life when no ?ain is be , ing made in weight, all feed'consumed during that time ls practically lost, for "the profit all comes from the feed that makes the gain above the amount required ? to maintain the . animal's needs. In other words, a certain amount of feed necessary to keep the' animal alive, and the profit must all come from the little extra feed that makes the gain in flesh. A young ani mal will gain more on a given quantity of teed than an older animal on the same feed. I think we might safely say the younger the animal the greater the gain for the feed con-^ sumed. That is why it pays better to' feed young stock.-Swine Advocate. Bens Stop Laying. There is some cause why hens sud denly stop laying, though certainly not alway.s a lack of food, as the cessation may happen in a single day. Neither is it due to disease, as the hens may be very healthy! It is noth ing more nor less than a lack of warmth, the heat produced from food being necessary.to keep.up the ani mal heat, leaving nothing toward the production of eggs. . . A certain amount of heat is due ? the body of the fowl and should the ' building not be' sufficiently warm, then that food which should go toward producing eggs is devoted' toward sup plying heat for the body. One cold night with insufficient pro tection for the hens will stop their laying for fully a week, this occasion ing a loss far greater in the end than would have been the cost of a ! warm building. Don't neglect the hens In winter if .you expect to have them lay eggs. . Watch carefully for each sudden change in rSe weather and ' change the house accordingly. During ' the day keep the hens hustling from day: light till dark and the cold will have no effect on the egg supply. Let the morning feed be very light, only one-third of a full meal, then it will not be difficult to keep them* busy.-Home and Farm. The Value or a CloTer Sod. The report of the weight- of stubble and roots on a clover field after the last crop had been taken off in the a itumn, as found in the experimental .farm of the late John B. Lawes at Rothamstead, England, ' as often been publishe'd," but lt" has been so long since we have seen it that it will probably be new to.many of oui; read-, ers. They found In the stubble and waste on the surface of the ground 2669. pounds per acre. In the first-nine' inches below the surface 3017'potfnds. In the next nine Inches 275 po'uh?s, and in the third nine inches, 191 pounds, br in all 6152 pounds. Accord ing to analysis this vegetable.matter would have enough phosphoric acid for more than two average crops,' enough nitrogen for more than four average, crops, and r Jtash enough for more than six average crops of wheat. Thus we can see the value of a clover sod plowed under for the wheat or corn crop. If the clover, which, pro-, duced 5000 pounds of hay to the acre, ' had been plowed In that would, have. , addr?d 108 pounds of nitrogen, 28 pounds of phosphoric acid, 97 1-2 pounds of potash, 96 pounds of lime and 34 1-2 pounds of magnesia, but it would certainly be more profitable to feed out the clover to animals and save th?lr excrements to use .on the. . land.-American Cultivator.

Card, Rhode Island Agricultural Experiment Station. The* Wattes on American Farms. -American" farmers' are the most wasteful in the world, and American farming the most wasteful business in our wast? ful country. They waste land by kneing many acres unused on which they waste money by pay ing taxes. They waste their crops by leaving 9, large portion to.die and dry up in the fields, or they leave their grain standing until wasted by wind, rain, insects' and." fungi, br shock it and ldave it to -..ike-the., weather as it comes. They waste seed after sav ing to feeding It in a wasteful man? nen- They waste fertility of their I fleldft.Jij careless methods of cropping, while the home "supply of mapure is permitted to waste by means of sun and rain. They waste their substance by buying on credit /.for which privi l?ge they- pay a liberal "tax in over charge) or borrowing money for which they have to pay Interest as well as principal. They waste tools and implements by leaving them exposed to weather, and then must further waste valuable tim.e working ine'ffectlve tools. Waste is found in the kitchen and in every department of the household as well ai in. the fields apd barns. The s -access of German farmers, Chinese farmers or farmers from any other country is mainly attributable to their practice of a system of farm, economy, learned where economy br starvation were al ternatives. Here the alternative is not so exacting. It is merely economy or comparative poverty.' In this country a'farmer maylive n?nd emerge from the .year's business "wi tb out actual loss,and at the same time waste enough ?to feed a foreigner or several horses, or enough to fatten a beef or two, or several hogs. Rigid economy may not be actually imperative here, but it is judicious.-Farm and Ranch. To Kill WYe/U. . < It is not quite safe to plunge into the use of chemicals for the destruction of weeds. It is possible to do more "h?rm than .good. We have known some fine trees, vines and shrubs, to be killed by the careless use even of kerosene and of common salt. Mr. L. R. Jones names some solutions, with., directions as to the strength' and nse, that are worth preserving. "In fields," he says, "weeds can usually be killed more cheaply by cultivation or digging, and chemicles used in sufficient amount to destroy the weeds are liable to in jure the grain. ?n exception to this lies in the use of blue vitriol to de stroy kale "in grain fields. It is said that a 3 percent solution' of blue vitriol in water sprayed over a weedy grain field will kill the kale without injury to the . grain. We have not tested this ourselves as yet,- but pro pose to do so this summer. The hawk weed or paint-brush may form another noteworthy exception, since it is readily killed by sprinkling with salt in an amount which does not in jure the gr?ss. In general We advise cultivation to destroy the hawkweed, how?ver. Chemicals may be used most advan tageously in gravel walks, drives, ten nis courts, paved gutters and similar places. Common salt, applied dry, can be used for the purpose, but it requires so heavy an'application that it is liable to' wash .into and Injure adjacent: grass borders. Either of the following solu tions are more effective than salt, more enduring in their action and do not wash." They may be applied with a. watering pot at the rate ot.about eight.] gallons to the square rod, and one or at most two such applications dur ing-the .season will entirely prevent weed growth. , (a) Crude ?carbolic acid, one pint in | fqur gallons. of water. This ls very powerful and quick acting, but not quite so lasting in effect as the next. It;mfty be-objected^to on account of odor*-* this, disappears after the first day, however, .(b) Arsenate of soda, one pound In. eight gallons of water, (?) Whlte^arsenic, one.pound; wash . Uig soda, tw?;pounds; water, nine gal -kHjfj. Practically1 the same as (b), less convenient but a little cheaper.-Farm, Field and Fireside. ' WAYS. OF CATCHING COLD. A^Physician Tells of the Dancer of Be. corni nc Chilled or Damp. The various ways in which a cold may be brought on ?re thus .described by a physician: "A little, knife, blade of air blowing in through a cracr in a window upon "some part of the body .will chill that part, and the blood.ves sels of that region will become, con tracted, affecting, somewhere in the in terior of the bpdy an afea In reflex relation with this portion of the sur face ot the body'. '. "For. instance, the blood vessels of the skin of the top of the shoulders and the chest are associated with the blood vessels of the lungs, so that whatever happens to the blood ves sels of the skin of the shoulders and chest happens also to the blood ves sels of the lungs. If there is a contrac tion of the blood vessels of the baek of the neck, there will be a contraction of- , the blood vessels of the top of . the shoulders and the shoulder blades there will also be a contraction of the blood vessels of the lungs. When the influence of the cold is continued, this contraction is followed by congestion. "When one puts his hands into cold water for a few minutes, they are first pale and then red. This is reaction. The longer the application and the more intense the degree of cold the greater will be the contraction and the .congestion. So if the back of the neck is exposed for a long time to the influenc? of cold, one is likely to have a cold in the. nose and throat If the shoulder blades and the tops of thc shoulders are exposed, one is likely to take cold in the lungs and suffer' from congestion of the lungs. If the' cold .is long continued, it may cause not only a. congestion, but ah inflammation of the nose or the lungs., ; "So if the bottoms of the feet be come wet or chilled a weakness' of the bladder may result if there has ever been a trouble there? or a weakness of the stomach if 'there has boen a catarrh'bf that organ.

What suffering frequently results from a mother's ignorance ; or more frequently from a mother's neglect tc properly instruct her daughter ! Tradition says "woman must suf fer, " and young vromen are so taught. ? There is a little truth and a great deal of exaggeration in this. If a young woman suffers severely she needs treatment, and her mother should see that she gets it. Many mothers hesitate to take their daughters to a physician for examina tion ; but no mother need hesitate to write freely about ncr daughter or herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure the most efficient advice without charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is Lynnj Mass. Mrs. August Pfalzgraf, of South Byron, Wis., mother of the young lady whose portrait we here publish, wrote Mrs. Pinkham in January, 1699, saying her daughter had suffered for two years with irregular menstruation - had headache' all the time, and pain in her side, feet swell, and was generally miserable. Mrs. Pinkham promptly replied with advice, and under date of March, 1899, the mother writes again that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cured her daughter of all pains and irregularity. Nothing1 in the world equals Mrs. Pinkham's great medicine for regu lating woman's peculiar monthly troubles. Dr. Bull's Cough Cures a cough or cold at once.

Tim FnmiftbJng or a tlo-i?e. Yod must have certain things as a basis-things that you cannot do with out; they must be purchased at once and set in place; but they are the nec essities which are found in every house, and which are absolutely in? il;L pensable. That is the bread^?nd* butter part, and ycU may eat it as quickly as you please, but the part that can be dona by degrees is the orna menting of the rooms-the addition of a picture, a bit of bronze or marble, a few coveted books or an article of fur niture which does not come directly under the head of "merely useful." There is an excitement in the very necessity of makiug a choice whenv there ls only a stipulated sum of money to invest, and there are so many ways in which you want to spend it.-Sallie Joy White, in the Woman's Home Companion. New Ilnudolr Dccnnit ion?. Some bright Nev/ York woman a few years ago spent the winter on the Florida coast and noticed that the inner bark of the palmetto bore a rough resemblance to an animal's fur. She secured a number of pieces, and in her idle moments painted flowers, leaves, and other patterns in oil colors upon the shaggy surface. When she returned to her home in New York City she decorated her boudoir, and for many' weeks was the recipient of congratulations and amicable envy. The idea was so pleasing that it start led a small traffic in the bark, which has kept on ever since. The pieces can now be secured in many sizes, some three feet wide and eight and ten feet long; but most are two by four or three by six. They take paint in about the feame way as plush or Canton flannel, the globules of the paint adhering to the ends of the hairlike fibres, and seldom permeat ing the body of the bark. The color ranges from dark maroon to sepia, and umber, and makes an admirable back ground for dadoes and striking wall surfaces for country houses. The bark is singularly free from all in sect life.-New York Commercial Advertiser. Tho Terror? of \Vn?h Day, Is it the coming of "wash day," as it is known in domestic parlance, or is it the reaction from Sunday holi day which causes the phenomenon ob served in many households as "Mon day crossness?" The laundry work enlists the atten tion of the entire domestic force in .many homes, and consequently there is more or less additional duty im posing upon the mistress of a small establishment before^ she can get her house settled, for the. day. The chil dren, who return unwillingly to .the/-, confinement, of school, perhaps, add to he*r perturbation by losing their school books and clamoring for miss ing mittens, lunch box or umbrellas. The Monday breakfast seems to be "flavored with soapsuds" somehow, and the little folks in the nursery are apt to be chidden for minor sins of omission or commission which would pass unnoticed on other occasions. The baby is taken out for an airing by the mother instead of by the nurse, who is otherwise occupied with the tubs. The mother seems impatient with the delays and meanderings of the little folks who march by the side of the baby coach. It ls not their fault that today is Monday, but they are the victims of tart replies and impa-f tient behavior from their us?a??y^'?n dulgent parent. Perhaps she ls tired or overworked, but all the same the denizens of the nursery are the real, though innocent; sufferers from the "Monday crossness of mothers." Philadelphia Record.

"Where do the old overcoats go?" la a query that ls a natural successor to the old riddle, "Where do the flies go In winter?" The old overcoats seem somehow to fade away, no one knows just how. The overcoat starts its career oil the back of its ov/ner who paid $45 for it. It keeps him warm and shelters him from cold winds and from storms until it commences to get frayed at the edges and the pockets are torn down the sides. Then the owner uses the coat for rainy days only, and no more does he take it to call on his fiancee or to recline on the back of a chair while he is reading at the club. He keeps it another sum mer and the moths get into it, and when he takes it out in the fall it has holeB here add there. So the owner gives it to the janitor -if the janitor is not a cold, haughty man, and the janitor wears it awhile until his Wife gives it to the tramp who Wheeled out the three barrels of ashes. The tramp wears it until the old coat commences to fall apart. Then he gives it to another tramp, and it falls apart still more. And then, some day, the coat has entirely disappeared.
