That buttermilk can hardly be rec ommended as at healthful beverage which Is got from creameric or pri vate dairies In which the cream prod uct is In part furnished by cows badly affected with tuberculosis. And what Is true of the buttermilk holds true In even larger measure with the fresh milk from the same animals. If the piece of lowland dries out sunclently so as to be put in fit shape as a seed bed by July 1 sorghum will give excellent returns as a forage crop. The seed should be sowed at thz' rate of a bushe! and a half per acre. The crop should be cut at about the time of: the first frost and put in arge cocks In the field. where it fthy be left until needed. Sorghum does not pull hear-! ly on the soil and may be grown on the same land several seasons with! good results. The California poppy, which grows in greatest profusion on the Pacific coast, exhibits as does no other flower pure yellow and orange colors, the outer portions of the four petaled fower showing the former color, while the inner portions, near the center. show the latter color with great pu rity. The flower has a spread of from one and a half to three Inches. while the leaves, although larger. closely re semble those of the eastern wood flower the Dutchman's breeches. As a result of spraying experiments carried on In some of the midwestern states iron sulphate has been found effective in killing wild mustard as well as dandelions and a number of other weeds. From seventy-fve to a hundred pounds of the sulphate should be dissolved in fifty-two gallons of wa ter and this solution applied with spraying outfit in the shape of fine mist. The younger and more tender the weeds sprayed. the weaker the so lution which will need to be used. Sixty per cent of the money paid 1 out in doctors' bills by girls and wo men could be put In the bank If moth ers would acquaint themselves and their daughters with the simplest laws having to do with the proper care of the body, including the need of fresh air and deep breathing. whole some food and its proper mastintion and digestion and the taking of su cdent sleep and rest Dope and drugs and often surgical operations are at best but a makeshift and seldom go to the seat of the trouble. a change In the haits of life being the thing chief ly needed. The last annual report of the presi dent of the American Jersey Cattle club contain some interesting statis ties relative to this popular dairy breed. It shows an Increase In regis trations during the past year cf 1879. an increase of 24 per cent over those of the year preceding, while the num ber of transfers recorded was 21,930. which was an increase of 2) per cent. From the time of the organization of the club, April 1. 18S3. to April 30. 1910. the total number of an imals reg Istered has been 329.G73. The club has plans under way for a still more thor ough advertising of the merits of the breed among dairymen of the country. The work In man~y a home would be Immenely lightened were some plan carried out by which an abundance of water could be available under pres sure In towns this problem Is easily soved by tapping the city water main. On farm or ranch It means the instal lation of a pumping plant and tank of good capacity, together with necessary plumbing to send the water where It is needed. The same system can be used to carry water to the barn and feed lots and to the garden patch in case water is needed for Irrigation. TheI witer is firmly of the opinion that a water plant of the above description would he worth going into debt for. as would be true of a kitchen stove or a cream separator. Having moved recently from a state' in which the meadow lark is held in high regard as a destroyer of insect pests and as one of the earliest har bingers of spring, the writer has been interested In angn comparisons wIth its far western cousin, which Is at dweller the year through In the valley where the writer lives.. While the weem bird snows a greater variety of characteristic songs, none of them seems to possess that marvelous flute like sweetness of the one song of the! astern lark, some bird authorities to the contrary notwithstann In ap pearance both representatives closely~ resemble each other, the male bird in both Instances having the bright yel-' w throat wi'a the black crescent. That the farmer Is jockeyed a good deal In the grading of the grain which he sells has been suspected for some time pest, and this has reference to practically all cereals In w'aich grades are recognized. One of the big termi nal elevators in a Minnesota city, the destination of the wheat shipped from the small local elevator, took In in thej course of one year 3,000,000 bushels of No. 1 wheat. 4.000,000 bushels of No, 2. and 8,000.000 bushels of No. 3- This wheat must have been subjlected toJ some marvelous process of lmprove-, met, for when this total of 15,00A000 bushels of wheat was forwarded there' were 8,000,000 bushels of grade No. 1.; 000000 bushels of No. 2 and 3,000,000: bushels of No. 3. This kind of skull-' duggery probably passes under the name of business, but in reality isl' wholesale robbery, and It should be' viewed and treated as such, Clyde Fitch's ,Joke. "Clyde Fitch was an Indefatigable worker," said an actor who has played in many of the Fitch comedies. "When he had a lay on the stocks he would labor over It day and night, often scarcely pausing for his mecais and getng very little sleep; consequent ly his health suffered. lHe would workj until on the verge of a nervous break-; down, and then his physician would step in and force him to knock off. "During one of these periods of en forced Idleness he was lounging in the Players club one day when Harry B. Smith. the prolific comic opera libret tist. strolled In. 'What are you doing now'?' asked Smith. "I~ rn m my doctor's hands.' replied Fitch. 'He tells me I'm in a bad way and has absolutely forbidden mue to dlo any brain work.' -- -That's :ough. said Smith. 'how do you manage to put in the timer - Oh. I'm writ ::the libre.tto~ of a musial cotuedy:' replied Fitch, with one of his cynical smie.-New York wings o Leglzorn lens to keep be' from flying vver a sixteen foot fence has been In vogue for some years. but not until lately have we seen the same plan suggested for keeping queen bees from leading new swarms away from the apiary. There are tricks in all trades, even the bee business. Few of nature's agencies prove un mixed blessings. Thus the bee. every where recognized as a most valuable aid in the cross fertilization of many kinds of fruits, is the chief distributer of the germs of the blight which bs wrought havoc with apple and pear orchards In many sections of the coun try, getting hold of the germs from hold over cases of blight from old oozy infections in the orchard or in nearby hawthorn or service berry shrubs. The balkiness of the mule is prover bial, but the western mule seems to have the trait unduly developed. If an instance can be credited that was re lated to us by the owner the other day. This one was a bunch grass ani mal from eastern Oregon. He balked on the road while his owner wvq try ing to fetch him over the m Ins and couldn't be budged by an) force or persuasion that could be brought to bear. He kept this fit for five days and nights, finally dropping dead from sheer exhaustion without having taken a step. Hogging down corn is an economical feeding practice familiar to dwellers in certain sections of the corn belt-brief ly, turning the hogs into small fenced portions of a field of mature corn and letting them eat it at will. A Colorado sheep grower seems to have adapted this Idea to sheep and beets and last year harvested twenty acres of beets by turning sheep into small patches of the field set olf by hurdles. They ate tops, roots and all, the only assistance received being a loosening of the deep er rooted teets with a spading fork. The feeder commends the plan as a successful one. While the tomato will produce some fruit of fair size with little or no at tention. very satisfying results In the matter of an improvement in the size of the fruit can be had by thorough and frequent cultivation and a pruning of the vines so that they will set fruit on but three or four leaders or branches. When this plan is followed it is well to stake the plants in an up right position, using a strip of cloth to fasten the vines to the sakes. Should fruit of exceptional size be desired this may be brought about by still further restricting the number of to matoes allowed to ripen. While housewives are generally of the opinion that it is more difficult to make good bread from soft than hard wheat Bour. the following recipe gives excellent results: One quart of wet ting, Including one cupful of soft yeast. Add two level tablespoonfuls of salt and three and three-quarters quarts of sifted flour. Mix and knead fifteen minutes, let rise, mold down. let rise again and put in tins. Ixt rise again and bake. The above recipe gives equally good .results with hard wheat four by reducing tie quantity of flour to three quarts. With this recipe one can start a batch of bread at C In the morning and bake It with the dinner fire._ _ Several points have been pretty well learned about fenceposts -seasoning them, their durability, etc. Among these are that the post timber shoul be cut during the summer or early autumn, that the bark should be peeled off at once so that the drying proces will be hastened and that if possible from eight months to a year should elapse between the time of cutting the posts and setting them In the ground. More recent experience proves quite conclusively that giving the butts of the posts a bath of hot creosote will increase their life from two to three times. Whether such treatment would pay in any particular case would de pend on the price of posts and the cost of creosote. As a result of using seed of poor itality many a corn grower Is just now confronted with a stand of corn so poor that It will hardly nay him to give It the care It shoul' have during the remainder of the .season, and natu rally he is looking for a substitute. While buckwheat, cowpeas, soy beans and sorghum may prove the most de sirable substitute crops in certain sec tions millet will likely prove most sat isfactory in a majority of instances. Of the three varieties of millet-com mon Hungarian and German--the first is considered best for a forage crop, while the last will give the best results In a seed crop. The chief ob jection to the Hungarian millet is that It crosses readily with the common wild foxtail, a near relative of the mil let family. The common millet and Hungarian will do better on light soils than the German variety. With all of the millets which are intended as for age crops It is important to cut before the heads have passed the dough stage. The North Dakota experiment station. which has been Investigating millet as a forage crop lately, recommends one. feed of properly cured millet a day for horses and two feeds for '?ther stock as a stimut~ant tending to produce a healthy physical condition of the ani mals. In feeding value- millet Is less palatable than timothy hay and infe ror to it In'nutritive qualities. A Great Relief.

A feature of Parisian life Is the ham fair which is iield on the Boulevard Richard Le Noir. The name of this fair is wholly misleading, for us far as I have ever seen hams are the very last thing any one ever buys there. Old brass and copper curios. quaint .iewelry. rare china. lace, tapestries and books are what tiost people go out to seek. and a sight not to be easily forgotten is the long. wide boulevard lined with ramshackle stalls laden with every possible kind of ltimaber-and presided over by the mos't rapacious of brocanteurs. Out of piles of value less lumber Americans and English diligently seek for their pet kind of curios, and there is not an artist in Paris who cannot point to some bit of furniture in his or her studio and say with pride, "I got that for 5 francs at the ham fair.' No one ever pays more than 5 francs. I notice, but, alas. every year these tive franc bargains are becoming more-rare, and even as housekeeping in Paris grows more and more costly so does the furnishing of one's house to keep.-London Queen. Only a Question of Possibility. Among the customers of a tea store opened In the northwest part of the city the othcr night was a man who, after buying a pound of coffee. handed a counterfeit half dollar to the shop keeper. "This won - Is counterfeit: I'm sor ry. sir." said he shopkeeper. "Yes: I know It." replied the cus tomer. grinning. "Got it here one day last week, and I've been saving It for you." Then, noting the smile upon the shopkeeper's face, the customer said. evidently offended. "Perhaps you doubt my word?" "Oh, not at all, sir; not at all. I couldn't doubt the word of so truthful a man. I was simply smiling because I wondered how it was possible for you to have got the money here. This place was opened only night before lasL-1' Thereupon the customer departed hastily after producing a good coin and slipping the counterfeit into his own pocket.-Philadelphia Times. Lancashire Humor. There was a Lancashire collier who went out on Sunday with his wheel barrow because, as he said. "I've lost mi dog, an' a felly looks sich a foo' gooin' a-walkin' bi hisself." Then there was the workingwen's club committee which wanted to in dorse the accounts "audited and found correct and tuppence over", and the customer who, on being told that the price of candles had gone up owing to the war. asked whether they were "feightin' bi candle leet." Also one recalls the laggard Lan nshire lover who, when asked for a kiss, said he was "gooln' to do it In a bit." and thb old ladies who praised a certain Darwin clergyman as "a grand burier." and of the orato" who trans lated "Dieu et mon droit" into "Evil be to him what evil thinks'---Lancashire Life and Character." by Frank Orme rod. Japan's Giant Wrestlers. Japanese wrestlers are not to be con fused with Japanese exponents of jfu jtsu. The wrestlers belong to the older school. In which weight is a par amount eiuality. It is a remarkable thing that a race which is on the av erage four or five inches under the Eu ropean standard In point of hejght should have produced a special cult of wrestlers who are. giants In stature and strength. The leading wrestlers of Tokyo or Osaka or Hiogo are all men at least six feet in height and weighing perhaps "300 pounds. They are a race apart. Wrestling Is an oc cupation which has been handed diown from father to son for many genera tions. And the explanation of their prowess is that they have always been meat eaters, while the rest of Japan. either from choice or necessity, have been In the main vegetarians. Diam~onds Under Water. An imitation diamond is never sc brilliant as a genuine stone. If your ee is not experienced enough to de tet the difference, a very simple test is to place the stone under water. The imitation stone Is practically extin guished, while a genuine diamond sparkles even under water and Is dis tinctly visible. When possible, place a genuine stone beside the possible imu taton under water, and the contrast will be apparent to the least experi enced eyes. Consistent Theory.

A Pearl Stringer's Keen Eye. The pearl stringer's eye becomes practiced In the detection of real and im.:.ation pearls. One glance Is usually suficlent. A ,.enuine pearl has a hard look. It presents a sort of shell-like surface with an indescribable blush. This blush Is so cleverly counterfeited in was Imitations tha! even those who are accustomed to handling pearls day after day are likely to be deceived. In ote of the large New York Jew elry houses last wnier a customer purchased a hand painted miniature set In i frame of imitation pearls. On exanimlation It was found that sev eral of the pearls had been slightly defaced. and the whole thing wvas -sent to the manufacturing rooms for re pairs. By chance it came under tMe eye of one of the pearl stringers. who Instantly detected four genuine pearls In the circle of imitation ones about the picture. The frame had passed through a dozen expert hands with out any one's noticing the presence of real pearls. No one could account for their being there. If they had not been detected the purchaser of the frame would have had a bargain, for the four genuine pearls were worth many times more taan the picture and the rest of Its setting.--Newv York Tribune.

It was for merlV coutined to women in various households. but for many -ears past every family in the village bas been devoted to the work. a:l the members! of the f:imilieis bei:ig occupied In the muifacure. Only the open fan is manufacturedl in this district. For !he frnime the split bamboo Is re;ntedly riv-d until each piece Is suflielently s!enider and flexible. There threndiike .i'm-s of bamboo are ar ranged in a row. attached to each oth er by a thread passed crosswise through the middle. This thread Is fastened to a semicirc.ular strip of bamboo. giving the fao its shape. The ribs are then slightly beated and bent at the end-;. The fan has now the peculiar and cbharacteristic shell-like shape at the top. Very flimsy silk gauze is then pasted on the face and a kind of tissue-like )aper on the back. After the handle is attached the bor der of the fan is black varnished and the gauze is coated with a chalk and water mixture. The handles are made of bambop. various kinds of hard wood. bone and ivory. The hand paint ing on the fans is cleverly done, in 1some instances being works of art. Exchange. Our Friends.
