Mr. Carter glared at her angrily,
and threw down his knife and fork

"Oh, John!" Mrs. Carter rose from
the table with her handkerchief to her
eyes. "Yon are c-crnel, when yon

What could he do? He had not been

against her tear?. He arose from the
table, took her in his arms, begged
forgiveness and promised to eat anything
and everything she would give
him, if oulv she would smile. They
made up, of course, and Carter bore
himself heroically for six months
through a dietary that tabooed pie,

"See here, Carter," said a friend,
meeting him one day on the street,
"what's the matter? You look like a
shadow. Come in and have something."
"I don't care if I do," said Carter,
suddenly feeling the need of something
stimulating. "I'm afraid I
don't feel up to much lately."
He lifted the glass to his lips and
then set i' down suddenly.
"What is it? Isn't it ail right?"
asked his friend.
"It isn't boiled," answered Carter,
faintly, who thought he saw microbes
bubbing up through the effervescence.
"Boiled!" ejaculated the other in
disgust. "Well, I should say not!
You'd better take a stimulant, Carter.
"No, thank you,I don't believe that
I will take anything. You will excuse
me, old fellow, won't you? I?I don't
feel well."
"It's all right," answered his
friend. "What made you think of
the drink being boiled?"
"I don't know. Just a fancy," returned
Carter, too loyal to his wife to
tell the cause.
Carter went home feverish. Much
to his wife's alarm he did not eat a
mouthful of supper. Finally he went
to bed and fell asleep. While he slept
he dreamed.
He was in an immense dining room.
Great roasts of beef and pork, flanked
by steaming vegetables, loaded the
tables. Pies of mince and cherry
were on the buffets; fruits, salads,
water with huge chunks of ice floating
in it, milk cooled also by ice.
Carter's month watered; but alas!
when he approached the meats, protein
and calorics appeared to raise
from them. Carbo-hydrates reared
great heads from fruits and vegetables;
bacilli jeered at him in the ice
water; microbes looked out from the
milk.
A feeling of fierce anger seized hold
of him. Was he to starve because of
these creatures? Well, let them do
their worst! A drink he would have
in spite of them. Catching up a cup,
he started to the water. Instantly
bacilli, microbes and Bacteria of all
kinds surrounded liim.
Suddenly an enormous bacillus that
he had not seen before darted toward
him and was upon him before he could
take a step. Carter gave a shriek
and sprang wildly from his bed.
"Why John! What is the matter?"
asked Mrs. Carter, sitting up.
"Matter," growled Carter, picking
himself* up from the floor, where he
had landed. "Matter enongh, I tell
you. Tomorrow begins a new state
of things at this house. I'm going
to live decently if I eat all the bacteria
in the world. Calorics and all
the rest of them have to go. They
have had their innings. Now comes
mine. Do you here, Nellie?"
"Yes, John," replied Mrs. Carter,
meekly. She had been married long

Preventive for Potato Scab.
Before cutting the seed potatoes
soak them for 30 minutes in water,
to which add one ounce formaldehyde j
to two gallons water. The water can i
be used for more thau one lot if one
lot immediately follows another. This j
formula has been used by many j
farmers for several years with complete
success.
Plowing Wet Ground.
When the upturned furrow presents i
a slick, newly varnished-like appear- !
ance it is a good indication that the i
plowing should be postponed a few
days. If plowing land when wet is
followed in a day or so by a heavy
freeze, the damage is not so great as j
when it dries out and becomes almost !
as hard as a brick. This of course '
can only occur in clay or sticky soil. J
In no case does the gain in two or j
three days' time compensate for the
injury done the land by plowing wet.
Grafting: Wax and How to Make It.
Here is a recipe for an excellent
grafting wax: One pound tallow, two
pounds beeswax, four pounds rosiu.
Slowly melt all together, stir well and
when partially cooled pour into pans
which have been moistened or oiled to
keep the wax from clinging too tightly
. to them. When thoroughly cold
break into convenient pieces.
Haw (not boiled) linseed oil is often
preferred to the tallow, and in very
warm regions a much larger proportion
of rosin will make the wax less
apt to run, reducing its cost also, as
the beeswax is the most expensive
though an indispensable article in its
composition.
For use it should be melted and applied
carefully over all exposed cuts
and often cracks around the grafts.
A small paint brush is the most convenient
for this purpose. It can be
applied safely much warmer than can
be borne by the hand.

There is profit in poultry if it is
given half a chance. Even when the
returns in fowls and eggs are small a
flock may be of great value as foragers.
The quantities of insects and weed
seeds that are devoured are seldom
taken into consideration, but they are
not to be passed by without notice.
So we can well afford to keep the hen,
even though the mischief done were
twice as great But with poultry, as
with other farm stock, the day for the
scrub is past.
So much has been written regarding
the immense profit to be obtained
from poultry that one might almost
suppose that the millennium would
surely be at hand as soon as every one
could be induced to raise chickens.
It would be as well to advise everybody
to raise cucumbers. Why not
recommeud the gardener to grow
wheat or the dairyman to raise sheep?
If a farmer has a taste for poultry he
is likely to make it an important part
of his business, for he can discover
what is profitable without being told.
If he has not an aptitude for fowls it
is the part of wisdom to limit himself
to a small flock, as many do. There
are many farms on which small flocks
are kept merely to supply the family
with table fowls and eggs. Few or
none of the products arc sold. Other
interests are found moe congenial
than poultry raising, consequently
more profitable.?Frank D Wells,
before the Michigan Poultry Breeders'
Association.
Essential in Sngar Making:.
The secret of making a fine quality
of maple. sugar consists iu three
things: First, begin early. One pail
of sap in March is worth more than
one and a half pails in April The
sap run in the fore part of March is as
a rule much sweeter than iu April
The colder the weather in which sap
runs, the better th& quality of sugar.
A man must have everything all ready
if he wants to begin early. If the
snow is deep, the roads shonld be
broken in Febrnary if necessary. All
things mnst be clean, arch or arches
in repair, wood cnt and all kinds of
tools and ntensils where you can find
them at a moment's warning. Next,
rapid boiling. To secure this, the
wood should be cut two or three years
in advance and k^pt under cover if
possible. If not piled nnder cover, it
1 shonld be piled where the sun can
shine on it. The wood shonld be
split fine to make the hottest fire.
The fire should not be allowed to go
down from the time it is started until
the syrup is ready to take off. An
arch should be built smoke-tight, and
with a chimney tall enough to furnish
a good draft. As for what the sap is
boiled in, whether an evaporator or a.
heater and a pan or a pan alone, it
may not matter so much if a man tends
to his business. But as a rule, the
simpler the boiling apparatus the better
the result, but the oftener the
syrup is taken off the better. Third,
< neatness is indispensable. Unless
you keep things sweet, all will be a
failure, as far as makiug the?4'real
thing" goes,?C. C. Bicknell in New
England Homestead.
The Apple Scab Fangu*.
This disease is the most troublesome
enemy of the apple grower, though it
is not so recognized, except by scientists.
Most apple producers would
name the oodling moth as the worst
enemy, but that is becanse the apple
scab fungus does a great deal of damage
that is not generally attributed to
it Generally, it is recognized only as
a defacement on an apple and tbe
picker pays little attention to it. As
a matter of fact, the chief work of the
apple scab is on the foliage, with the
result of weakening the entire -tree
and of cutting short the crop year
after year.
The uninformed orchardist does not
dream that his early falling fruit is
due to the fungua named. He wonders
why his apples reach a small size
and fall ofE Those that hang on are
reduced in size because they have not
had the nourishment the tree should
have given them. Finally,in the fall,
the leaves of the tree begin to fall off
earlier than usual, and the tree is
bare long before the other trees have
begun to shed their foliage. The
scab has been the cause of it alL The
tree has been unable to store up food
for the next year's crop, nor has it
been able to harden up the wood it
has made. So next year, no matter
how propitious the season or how free
this tree may be from scab, the crop j
of fruit on it will be small.
The only remedy is persistent spraying,
and that, too, for more than one
year. It takes two years to produce
a crop of fruit?from the formation of
the fruit bud to the perfecting of the
fruit?and spraying for one year only
will not undo all the damage. The
spraying this year must be begun before
the leaves open, to destroy as
much as possible the fungus on the
twigs. Spraying calendars are so
I common that we need not repeat them,
^ . . /.

in time.?Farm, Field and Fireside.
Incrca?in? Fertility on a Farm.
A North Lawrence tOliio; farmer
grows corn, oats, wheat and clover iu
a regular four year rotation. Everything
is fed on the farm except the
wheat. He asks whether it would
pay Letter to raise rye instead of
wheat and feed it out, thus selling no
crop off the farm. No, I wouldn't do
this where you live. Better grow
wheat and sell it and buy wheat bran
with the money to feed with your
corn and stover and clover. Wheat
will bring you, say, 1 1-4 cents a
pound or near it. You can buy wheat
bran in the summer usually for a
half to three-quarters of a cent a
pound. The pound of wheat con
"1 ./ .1! 1.'
tains . wz or a pounu 01 mgesuve protein;
one pound of bran, .122. A
pound of wheat bran, you see, will
cost considerably less than you sell
your pound of wheat for; in fact, you
can nearly bny two pounds of brau
for one of wheat, and the brau is
worth more than your wheat to feed
with your corn to all growing animals,
aud cows giving milk or carrying a
calf.
Eye is not quits as good as wheat to
feed, so you would gain nothing by
growing rye to lee.l unless yon can
grow 10 to 15 per cent, more per acre,
l ou might as well feed your wheat.
But the best way is to raise large
crops of good, clean wheat, and sell
and buy bran when it is lowest and
store it for winter. The rotation you
are following, my friend, and the
feeding out of practically all you
raise, and your careful saving of manure
under cover should enable you to
grow large paying crops of wheat.
Your land must increase in fertility
under such good management, and
particularly if you buy bran with the
wheat money for a time.
But this isn't all by any means.
You cows aud growing animals will
do much better for having plenty of
bran along with corn and cornstalks.
This, with nice clover hay, ought to
make them do well, indeed. Full
grown beef cattle will do pretty well
on clover hay and corn and stover.
However, good farmers as you are,
fatten steers before they get their
growth, and in this case wheat bran
with corn and clover will pay. It will
keep the animal growing as well as
fattening. The protein in the grain
furnishes growing material, that is,
the material to make blood and muscle
and bone. Bran is more than oneeighth
protein; corn only about onetwelfth.
It is true that a pouud of
wheat would give more heat and
energy producing food (carbohydrates)
than a pouud of bran, but it would be
lost, as corn and stalks and hay furnish
more of this than is needed.?

Short nn<l Useful Paragraphs.
Dry axles add just about double to
the labor of the team. Wagon grease
is cheap and a few minutes does the
work.
Tl^ere is an over-production of
weeds. As soon as the farmers reduce
their acreages devoted to this
crop they will be a great deal better
off.
Ducks are ready for the market
when eleven weeks old. Show me
anything else raised on the farm that
can be turned into money so soon and
sure.
There is such a thing as over-manuring,
for when a soil is already well
supplied with plant food there will be
no perceptible gain by using fertilizers.
There are a great many who are beginning
to think that with a wellplanued
rotation manure is practically
unnecessary, and there is no doubt
something in it.
Where a grass for close cropping is
sought after, there is nothing that can
beat the Kentucky blue grass, as it
stands a large amount of tramping
and close pasturage.
There is large money in small
things. One dewberry grower in
Maryland during the past season sold
42,000 quarts of that delicious fruit,
on which he cleared $1600.
It is almost impossible to api ly too
much soap-suds or well-rotted manure
to asparagus, and as this is one of
the earliest of vegetables, it will soon
be time to get about the work.
If we had a specimen of some good
variety of carrot in place of every
wild carrot plant that we see on the
farms, wouldn't the stock have a fine
thing of it and the horses' coats
shine.
Some farmers believe straw to ba a

Everj farmer who wants to keep up
the fertility of his farm should make
it a point to put back on the land in
the shape of fertilizers of some some
sort whatever the previous crop has
taken from it.
C eniiin of Insect*.
An insect census has just been taken
on purely scientific lines with a view
| to determine as far as it is possible
which insects are a boon and a blessing
to mankind and which are the reverse.
According to the census iuserts are
to be classified as good, bad, and indifferent;
the good insects number
I 11G families, the bad insects amount
to 113 families, while the indifferent
insects, who could not for one reason
or another satisfactorily answer all the
questions on their census papers, and
must therefore for the present be
looked upon as doubtful characters,
reach a total of 72 families.
No fewer than 112 families of the
Uau or lujunous maci;i>a iceu ujjuu
cultivated plants and crops, doing
damage to and devouring thousands
of pounds' worth of vegetable produce
annually, gobbling up our, spring
cabbage and succulent young peas,
etc., in the most ruthless fashion,
while the one hundred and thirteenth
family is parasitic upon and causes
mnch harm to warm-blooded animals.
Of the good or beneticial insects, 79
families devote themselves to the destruction
of their wicked, vegetabledevouring
brethren, which they accomplish
in a most satisfactory and
wholesale manner, while of the remaining
useful insects, 32 families
act as scavengers, clearing away with
great rapidity all sorts of decaying
vegetable and animal matter, two families
aid us as pollenizers, and three
form food for our eatable fishes.

Love of Satire Often Got Kim la Tronble
With the Court.
In the days antedating railroads in
northern Iowa, the days of saloons
and circuit courts, a certain ponderous
judge was for many years accompanied
on his rounds by District Attorney
Wood, popularly known as Old
Timber-Wood. He had been christened
Timothy, the name was curtailed to
Tim, and by easy evcflution developed
into Timber.
Old Timber-Wood was a unique and
interesting character; rough but dignified,
of sound intellect, gifted with a
keen sense of humor, and far surpassing
in mental acumen his professional
superior, whom, however, he usually
treated before the world with an almost
ostentatious deference. They
were the warmest of friends, the feeling
between them was romantically
tender, notwithstanding that they had
frequent and violent public failings
out.
The Judge, who was entirely lacking
In personal dignity, really needed the
support of his friend's deferential attitude
to keep him In countenance,
and when it was temporarily removed,
Old Timber-Wood's love of satire occasionally
betraying him Into the sacrilege
known as 'contempt of court,"
he was stung to fury, and promptly
punished the ofTense. Many a fine had
the attorney been subjected to for his
incautious witticisms. Being in a constant
state of impecuniosity, he invariably
applied to the Judge himself for
money to pay these assessments, a favor
which was never refused, the fact f
that he must bumble himself to ask ?
it sufficiently restoring his Honor's ?
complacency. The Judge was of a {
thirsty habit, and frequently left the *
bench, substituting Wood in his place t
?as an old-time schoolmaster substi- B

wished to absent himself from the
room?and stepped out to refresh him- o

On one occasion, very shorty after n
a skirmish with the attorney, in which -
lie had finally avenged his insulted
dignity In the usual way, he 'abruptly
called Wood to the bench and started ,
down the aisle. Wood hastily slipped
into his place, and before he had
reached the door rapped sharply on
the desk and called out, "Gentlemen,
before proceeding further with the ,
case, the Court wishes to instruct the

Fooled by a Fox.
Lord Congleton's preserves near
Maryboro', Queen's County, were recently
the scene of a most unusual
! sporting incident, which goes to show
that the impudence of foxes is pretty
well on a par with their proverbial
cunning, states a letter to the London
! Telegraph. A woodcock was flushed
in the pleasure grounds, which were
| being beaten for rabbits, near the
' * * ?? l?n/\ A/1
House, Blia was pmuiyuj auui-tcu
down by Mr. McKenna, Lord Congleton'g
agent. Just as the latter was
about to pick up the bird, however, a
fox suddenly dashed out of a clump
of rhododendron*, and snapping It up,
bolted away with his audaciously acquired
prize, despite much shouting
and hallooing on the part of those who were
eye-witnesses of an episode wellnigh
unique.

His TEETH WERE HIS OWN.
I
Ud Yet the Facts Were Rather Oct of the
Ordinary.
Four or five traveling men around
the hotel stove had been talking about
teeth, when one of th^in got up and
*avi?g "good night" went off to bed.
"Did you notice what tine teeth that
party had?" said a man from St.
Louis. "He won't acknowledge they
ire false, or rather he insists that they
are his own, and yet fte doesn't quite
tell the truth. My brother Is a dentist
in Kansas City, and this man lives
there, and my brother does his work
for him. Not that ,he tells me anything.
but merely as an incident, for
?verybody who knows the man knows
the circumstances. His teeth are his.
awn. and at the same time they are
false. You don't understand, so I'll
explain. He always had unusually
Sne teeth, but about five years ago
they showed signs of Riggs' disease,
an affection which causes the gums
to recede from the roots, leaving them
?xposed some distance down from the
?nameled surface. In aggravated
?ases or where the person is very sensitive
the disease is very painful and
ft is almost impossible to relieve it.
ro cure it is practically mpossible, for
the gums will not grow back again,
rhis man was of the sensitive kind,
and although physicians and dentists
tried their skill on him they could do
aothing, and he suffered so that at last
tie told my brother to extract every
tooth in his mouth and put false ones
in for him. As nothing else could be
lone my brother followed instruction
and pulled every tooth. They were
ill in perfect condition, and as my
brother looked them over, regretting
that his patient was forced to give
them up, a novel Idea occurred to ,
aim, which he at once told to the other
man, who agreed to It willingly. This
(vas that Instead of making artificial
teeth, as was the usial custom, these
jame teeth be used exactly as If they
were artificial. My brother, who Is a
Srst-class dentist always, was more
than ordinarily careful on this job, and
when he had mounted the teeth in a
plate measured to a hair's breadth
and slipped them into his patient's
mouth they fitted as if they had grown "J
there, as it were, and now there isn't )
>ne man in a thousand can tell that I
they are false, if, indeed, false they 1
are. At the same time there Isn't any
more Rlggs' disease to trouble him." 1

Hot Water Wells.
The wells in parts of Ariozna have c
recently become producers of hot *
water, and apprehension is felt
by many of the residents of the regions
iffected that they are*al>out to become
participants in a grand volcanic drama, u
in some bt the wella the temperature
sf the water rose twenty degrees in
i single night In a few the pbenom- ?
?dou disappeared soon after its ap- a
pearance. In a majority of the cases,
however, the wells fairly steam from
their newly-acquired heat* The first b
known of this curious state of affairs =
tva's if report that the wefts at Mari
?opa, on the Southern Pacific Railroad, 1
thirty miles south of Phoenix, had sudienly
become hot says the Omaha Bee.
It was four days thereafter that the
phenomenon was first noticed a dozen
miles west of that city. A test at one
cvell showed a temperature of nearly |
me liunared degrees. No difference
is noted in wells in the immediate vicinitl
of Phoenix.
The line of subterranean heat wave I
follows the general direction of the
Sierra Estrella mountains, a volcanic
chain lying Immediately south of the
Grila river. Thence it appears to continue
on in the direction of the Harjua
Hala mountains, near which are
i number of large and modern volcanic
cones and hills of drifted volcanic
ash. Further to the east the
ava flows are so geologically modern ^
