IST" ipe. A Farmer's Signboards. / There Is bo occupation in 'which evidences of real success or the reverse are so patent to all observers as that of farming. The farmer who is prosperous doesn't have to make declarations of the fact. , The signboards which testify of his 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 protecting stock in times of cold and storm> poultry yard and house in condition to be profitable, manure intelligently saved and wisely uged, a good garden spot, and this titled so as to make it pay, farm implements shielded from summer's sun and winter's storm. Th?e signboards will be read by n^hbors and the casual passer by, and yet the buildings may not be palatial, though we are heartily in sympathy with toe best farm home that can tie provided without Incurring debt.

Did you know thai there are 'more people who are lazy mentally than there are of those who are physically 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 Is demanded such men are utter failures. The power to formulate wise plans and to execute them or have them executed is a business faculty that is too often overlooked on the farm.

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 khey will eat at night. | ImprorinK the Farm. The cause of the increasing ttumb >r of run down farms is from a lack of knowledge of the primary principles of agriculture. The land deteriorates without attracting attention. This decline in the farm's fertility is going Oti all the time, Sl'0'wly but surely, and the amount produced each year becomes less and the farmer finally awakes to the fact that his farm is * *? 1 ? 1 \ati* tn I wearing our, anu ne kiiu?j. uvi ,v stop the wear. He keeps up the proCess of taking ofF and hauling to tno market the wheat, corn and oats, pastures the stalks with the hogs and milch cows and these help in tue Work of destroying the mechanical Condition of the soil. The straw .is Ihirned ' In the Wheat field or else is stacked in the open yard and the cows eat and destroy it as they brave the rigors of winter. Because of a lack of early training in the Correct principles of good farming he* does not see his errors and the work of reducing the farm's productiveness continues until it gets a name that makes it practically unsalable. Th? Fanner's Dog, A good dog is of most inestimable value to the farmer, but a useless cur Is worse than a buisancC. There are but comparatively few dogs in the Country that are worth their keep. Nearly every farmer owns a dog, sometimes three or four; but few are In any way trained to be useful. Dogs are intelligent creatures and will often pick up enough of their legitimate work about the farm to be useful, but the average cur rarely does. In the dog, as in all other animals, blood tells. The popular idea seems to be that a dog is a dog. and more or less of a nuisance. To pay a good price for a pup would call down the scorn of the neighborhood. And if the dog grew to be a big, fine-looking fellow, the chances are that be would be poisoned by someone who cannot tbalize that the dog is the noblest of animals. A neighborhood is certainly better off for being rid of a cur, but to wilfully murder a j fine, good-tempered animal simply because he is large and strong is nothing less than criminal. In our home town in the past two years there have been no less than a half dozen Newfoundj 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 can 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 is but rarely that these animals meet an untimely end.?The Epitomist. Whitewash alfct Paint Ort the Farm. From a beautifying standpoint nothing 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 complimentary remarks from visitors and passers by concerning the neatness and conveniences of the home surroundings will add contentment to remain on the farm and not be wanting to remove to town where we would be cramiKHl for want of room and often for things to eat that could aud would be had on the farm. From a hygienic j>oint 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 dwellings and farm implements that are exposed to weather. Who doubts the use of lime or whitewash as a disinfectant around dwellings, on stock barns and poultry houses? Another reason why paint and whitewash 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 be forced to sell, he would be rewarded for his outlay. To have that pride and energy that will keep all buildings and farm utensils with a fresh coat of paint and whitewash will insure a credit at the bank, store or elsewhere that ofttimes would be equivalent to money in the pocket, or saving of time and annoyance.?R. H. Webb, in Farmer's Guide. TrofitHble Uses of Skim Milk. When the city milk dealers are paying such starvation rates for milk, and selling it to customers at prices two or three times as much as they have to pay the producers for it, the farmers can put the products of their dairy to some better uses than enriching the city milkman. It is all right for those owning dairy farms near the markets to talk of working up private customers and of establishing milk routes for themselves. The farmer and dairyman who lives far away from the city must forever he at the mercy of the n^ntg In the city uniew lie can control the use of his products 1 so that the sellers and retaileis of it must solicit liis patronage. There are many ways to use hlilft Xvitli ihore profit than selling at two and three cents rt quart. There is a nutritive value iii skim milk for feeding that should at once appeal to every dairyman. We first have the ehfinee to skim off the cream and Convert it into butter. That is worth sbmethiiig. and it will bring Tair prices in any market. Let that, however, be ill'" by product, not the main object of ihe work. Feeding the skim milk to W?nvert it into money is what we are aiming at. Suppose now vie raise a d'ove or imgs suflicient *o consume all the skim milk produced in the dairy, and then add a few colonies of eh icier, 8. Here we have two distinct sources of consumption. The pigs will thrive and fatten on skim milk when fed properly with other food in a way that will pay for all the trouble and expers" of breeding them. This sort bf breeding does not contemplate swill. ana sour at that. No hops will do their host oii sour swill, and 110 one should expect it of them in these enlightened days. l?ut if you want to make good sweet pork. lH>rk that is not all fat, but solid and tirm. with lines of lean streaked in it, raise your drove of hogs on clover, and feed them sweet skim milk and some corn meal. Let the milk be fed as a liquid and also mixed up with the corn. The clover will supply them with one class of food material, and the milk and corn will add fat and weight so fast tlnit the pigs Will pay well on the investment: Skim milk fed to iMgs id 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 connection 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. Kaynor, in American Cultivator. Short ami Useful Pointer*. Apple trees should have thorough culture. Winter apples are generally the fch'otitable ones. Don't cultivate born so deep that ybii cut the bobts: Select il cool jiiace when setting hens late in the season. Charcoal made from corn cobs will j be appreciated by the hogs. You can't make any mistake uy auuing soy beans to the pig ration. Overfeeding, especially with some foods, will result in ruined udders. Make it a point to introduce fresh blood into your stock every season. Farmers do nbt pay sufficient attention to the different methods of culture. Variety of production seems to be the best plan to secure good prices ffcir farm produce. The farm where slieep-growing is made a success always shows an improvement year by year.The hens roosting on wagon axles over night show that the head of the farm uses but little judgment. Every farm should liave at least sufficient trees to furnish a good supply of fruit for the farmer's family. Some claim that tilth is not Hie cause of hog cholera, but. in spite of this, we all knovr that it furnishes a prolific field for its growth. The principal requirements of a human being are something to eat and something to wear. By this you can readily sec the value of sheep. The man who keeps his cow on pasture alone from May until October, thinks that his cow is paying too big a profit, and wants her to cut it down. Care should be taken in bringing young steers up to their full feed. It should be done gradually. Each day give them just about what they will eat. A farmyard without at least three of four shades trees is very unsatisfactory, and if the shade is secured fronl 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 anything else. A New Kind of Fly, An astonished, but apparently satisfled spider was one upon which a gentleman recently made an experiment. The result of his investigations is told in Public Opinion; While watching some spitlers one day, it occurred to him to try what effect the souud of ft tuning fork would have upon them. He had a strong suspicion that they would take it for lue buzzing of a fly. Selecting a large, fat spider, that had long been feasting on flies, he sounded the fork and touched a thread of the spider's web. The owner was at one edge of his web and the thread selected wai on the other side. Over his wonderful telephone wires the buzzing sound was conveyed to the watching sp.der. but from his position he ouhl not tell along which particular l.ue the sound was traveling. lie ran to the centre of the web in hot haste, and felt all cro iei until he touched the thread against the Oiuer 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 it. At this point he found out his mistake. He retreated for. a short distance, and stopped to survey this new buzzing creature which should have been a fly, but strangely unlike any insect he had ever seen. At length, apparently convinced that the object at the outer edge of his web was more suitable for amusement than tor an article of diet, lie sot on it again and danced with pleasure. It was evident that the sound of the fork was music to him. Shifted Itenponsibilitjr. A woman employed at a lorkshiro factory took her five-year-old boy to the hospital and asked the surgeon to look at his hand. By some treak ot Nature his finger and thumb had interlocked causing him great pain at times. "Why didn't you come here earlier, my good woman?" said the surgeon in a tone of sharp reprimand. "The little chap has evidently been suffering from this extraordinary defect since the clay of his birth. !f you had brought him soon after he was born I might hive done something for him but 1 very I much four T cannot now." The woman aware that she was saily to blame, but loath to take the full responsibility. immediately turned upon her unfortunate offspring. "Dost ta hear what the gentleman says. Tommy V" she cried.

EYE SALVE EGGS IN COLD STORAGE, How They Arc Kept by the Million for Use in the Winter Month'. Half a million dollars is a largo sum of money to bo invested in so small and apparently insignificant a thing as eggs, but that Is so approximately the value of tlie eggs being placed In the cold storage warehouses of Kansas City last spring. The season is now j at Its height, and before the close about ( 120,000 cases, each containing thirty * dozen eggs, will be laid away for next j winter's use. This is a much larger , quautity than was. ever stored nere before. Last season about 80,000 cases were stored in Kansas City warehouses. The increase la remarkable j for the reason that few dealers made any profit in their venture iast SeasdiL while the majority lost $2 t6 $3 on ' every case stored. 6ne explanation of ] the Increase Is that outside dealers and speculators are looking with more favor on Kansas City as a storing point < and as a market where they can dis- i pose of their holdings most satisfactorily. There are many interesting details In egg handling which are but slightly' known to the average consumer of poached eggs and omelets. Few people realize the aumber of different hands an egg passes through ori its jqurney from the nest where It was laid in the farmyard of the country to the dining room where it is eaten, in the city. The importance of eggs for use In the arts and their commercial importance outside of their value as a food product are Interesting. Candling eggs is an Important feature of the storage season. It is a simpl* process of holding an egg to the light in a dark room, for the purpose of determining its quality. Handlers, who store eggs, have learned by experience the necessity for eliminating all except the largest, cleanest and freshest eggs from cases which are to be carried in stor age for several months. Charles A. Moler, head candler at Armour's, has from ten to thirty men working under his direction throughout the season. The candling room is 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 is admitted. Standing before the light a workman examines each egg by holding it up to the light. If the ray shines through the egg clearly it is all right as far as quality is concerned. Cleanliness and size are two important conditions to be reckoned, and eggs must meet all the requirements 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 experts are well paid for their care and efficiency. No ohe can tell whether they have slighted their Work until next winter, when the eggs are takeri 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 i where a temperature of 31 degrees 1 Fahrenheit is maintained. They are 1 held in that temperature until taken J out next winter. 1 Woman's Unnecessary Suffering. 1 ] Half the things a woman suffers j most over not knowing would make ( her nearly as miserable to know them. ?New York Press. j " - " ? - ?>?

A lady who keeps a summer boarding house at the seashore near Boston went down the other day to look the house over and find out what must he renewed.

She stopped In at Hovey's and laid the bundle on the floor at her feet at the counter. When she had made her purchases she forgot her umbrellas, and absent-mindedly picked up an umbrella lying on the counter, thinking it was hres, or not thinking at all, and started off. Then the owner of the umbrella, a woman standing next her, seized hei and said very sharply, "You have taker my umbrella!"

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.
