It is better to raise eight good pigs - - than twelve inferior ones. There will be more money, in the former than in the latter, though they outnumber them. Quality is more important than : . quaulity. All troughs and feeding pens should be kept scrupulously clean. Don't let any food remain after they get through with the food in the trough.

A poultry exchange gives the followf?i<* nv/'OiIiint fnv vnnsts tips) boxes: "One of the most important arrangements in the poultry house is the proper location of both roosts and nest boxes, and the plan here described lias been found all that is desirable. Its advantages are the placing of the roosts low, the chance for a dropping board under the roosts and the location of the nest boxes where it is quiet and dark, a condition quite pleasing to laying hens. "Make a frame of the desired length v and of a width so that the nest box B ^^ IBCOir AX3> N2ST B0X23 COilBIXED. will be twelve inches in the space occupied by the lieu. The side hoards are eighteen inches high at the back and when covered with matched boards, which form the dropping board, it comes even with the floor in front. Then fasten posts at either end of the front on which the frame composing the perches is to rest, fastening this frame to the box frame, which brings the perches level. The one open side of the board frame is then ? partitioned off to form the nests, which are about a foot square in the clear. This plan forms a neat, compact, combined roost and nest boxes, and as it is placed away from the wall there is little opportunity for vermin to infestit. The illustration shows the details plainly, the drawing at the:top labeled two indicating the nest boxes, which |&/- are shown iii the main drawing by The Qw??en Bee. The queen is a fair and stately bee, differing from the workers both in shape and color. She is longer than a honey bee by one-third, and somewhat longer than a drone, but not quite so big around. The queen is treated with the greatest respect and affection by the bees. A circle of her offspring often surround her, testifying in various ways their dutiful regard, offering her food from ftirae to time, and all of them politely backing out of her way. to gire her a clear path when slip moves over the combs. So strong is the feeling of the workers for the queen, that if for any reason she is removed, the whole colony is filled with consternation and dismay. Her death, when it is too 'ate in the season to raise another queen, means the final extinction of the colony. A good queen will sometimes lay M from two to three thousand eggs a day, or nearly the weight of her own body, and continue doing it for weeks in succession. At the beginning of the season the queen lays eggs iu the worker cells. She walks over the combs, puts her bead into each open ceil as she comes to it, as though to discover whether it is occupied or is in tit condition to receive an egg. I have often watched how faithfully she goes about her jfe; work, from an observatory hive, for hours. The queen only stings other queens, and seeks only to kill her rivals. She may be handled to any extent, without fear of being stung. She has also great tenacity of life, as well as longevity.? F. G. Herman, in Massachusetts Ploughman. Kats In tlie Clilclcen Yard. A never failing remedy for these pests of the chicken yard is not at present in sight; but a substitute may be mentione... a remedy that fails sometimes and many times succeeds. It is * this: Spread fresh bread with sweet grease, such as is saved from frying bacon and pork. Rats will eat bread spread with gilt edged butter, and they may like it.better, but on the score of economy try grease spread liberally. Then spread on the grease any of the phosphoric pastes, and over! ? ? T fa an i r: this poison sprinkle sugar. Cut j the bread into small squares and I lay them where* the rats run. a few in j a place; but r.ot where chickens, or ! hens, or children will get them. Do j this in the evening, having set cans j of water where the rats may find thera ! easily. In the morning gather up what j pieces of bread have not been eaten i and bury tliein. If they have all disappeared during the night, rejoice. There will be fewer rats around for awhile. In the course of a week make a mush of corn meal, mix the poison with it. sprinkle a iittle sugar over the top and hide it away from them in some dark places. They will find it and eat it. Again rejoice. But do not place the same kind of dish for rats a second time in the same place. They I are cautious and suspicious. Be more crafty in providing tidbits /or thera than they are cautious. Now a little beef, again scraps of fish, and then bread and grease. Vary the temptation. and they will fall victims to it.? William R. Cory, Windsor, Gonn., in the Tribune-Farmer. Advantages of Silage. The difficulty of securing succulent feed during the dry period of summer, a mi in so uuriiig ujf \\ uut?i s&usun, u.o been met in several wnys with varying success. But for general feeding upon most dairy farms throughout the Central States corn silage is the most economical succulent feed which can be obtained for cows at a season when pasture is not available. When fed with other grains so as to make a balanced ration, it tends to heavy milk production and is always very cheap j feed. By the use of the silo, gnen [ feed can be had at less cost than for j soiling, since with the silo corn may be j used to a greater extent. Professor j W. .T. Fraser, of the Illinois Exneri- i mer.t Station, states in a recent bul- | letin. No. 101. that in Illinois corn is j the' best single crop for silage, and I combined with cowpease or soy beans, the feeding value may be somewhat increased. The time to cut corn for silage is when fully tasseled, and when the ears are just beginning to show the dents on nearly all the grains. It is found that at this stage the dry matter and nutrients as well are at the highest point. If ripe, silage will not settle well into the silo, and so will not be sufficiently protected to prevent spoiling. Corn for this purpose is most easily handled by cutting with a binder, using a silage cutter and large knife to take the bundles without cutting the bands. In filling the silo the leaves and stems must be thoroughly mixed, and. after it is put in the shock well tramped next to the wall. After filling, the top six inches should be wet once and tramped occasionally for a week to obtain a compact layer, which will preserve the silage. Iiecords of the cost of silo filling on nineteen different farms in various parts of Illinois show that the cost ranges from forty to seventy-five cents per ton, the average being fifty-six cents. Of 372 comparisons made between silage and unsilage milk, sixty per cent, were in favor of the eiiagf milk.?Orange Judd Farmer. A Pie House. A veteran raiser of swine has set about raising his animals on the colony plan, somewhat after the plan of raising poultry. He has no difficulty after the first week when the pigs learn which house is their own. j The pigs are placed on the range with these colony houses as soon as they are old enough to graze. The houses are built low and arranged so that the ends are open near the top, using slats of heavy material with a wide board at the bottom. The back is solid, and there is a good roof which is waterproof. The front is arranged so that the mV\VV *">. . ... %."" bottom board may be removed; it is hooked in place at each end, and over the entire front is placed a sloping roof, somewhat in form like the roof of a veranda. This roof furnishes shade, and with the partly open front and sides, there is plenty of ventilation. The pigs graze all they wish and then go into the pen to rest or to get out of the hot sun. At night they occupy it very rarely, sleeping 011 the grass. With the smaller pigs care j is taken to place the bottom board of j the front in place and book it at night, j Any feeding that is done is given in a j trough at the side of the colony house. ; The illustration shows the construe- j tion of these houses, which shou'd be j small enough so they may be placed j 011 a stone boat or sled and carried j under cover iu the fall.?maianapons j News.

A Magical I'm it Which Few of Us Are J.ikely to Sec or Taste. Under this title Outing describes a /ruit which few of us are likely to see or taste. The tree is tropical and the fruit too tender for long shipment: It was at the height of the durian season, when all animal kind in Malay, two legged and four legged, is animated by an insatiable lust for the fruit itself, and quick to ldl with savage anger against whatever stands in the way of satisfying its appetite: for not the least remarkable quality of this remarkable fruit is the amatory effect it has upon those who consume it. All during eating Malay?man and beast?are aflame with erotic fire. The jungle resounds with the fighting ol love-lorn brutes and the towns awaken to courtship and indulgence. The durian is about the size of a pineapple, with a similarly rough outside covering, armed with half-inch spikes, which are tough and sharp. It grows 011 trees fully sixty feet in height, whose trunks are bare of limbs, except at the very top, and when the fruit ripens it drops to the ground. So, as the season approaches, natives erect small huts under the trees or near by, from which they watch for the falling fruit. Those who arc fortunate enough to have such trees growing on their land practically live 011 the income derived from the sale of the durian, for in the peninsula market it brings tbe highest price of any eastern fruit. In the jungle edge, where these trees have no ownership, the race to build the first *hut and thus establish proprietary interest in the falling fruit is equal in intensity to an Oklahoma land rush; and in the jungle the natives must compete also with the wild beasts that share man's fondness for this extraordinary fruit Once, in the jungle, as I sat smoking, puzzling out some lost seladang tracks, a falling'durian attracted my attention. The nearby trees seemed alive with monkeys racing to first reach the . ground. One monkey, that had been left at the post, so say, deliberately dove from the top of the tree, where he sat. fully forty feet, into the top of a smaller tree below, whence he swung to the ground; but, though he beat out the others, the durian had disappeared. A small leopardlike creature had sneaked off with the fruit, and I was too absorbed in watching the aerial flight of the monkey to get more than a glimpse of the thief. The troop of monkeys that instantly foregathered discussed the situation loudly, and hi very obvious anger. WORD3 OF WISDOM.

Whether classed as small fruits, or set in a class by themselves, the ambrosial grapes of the country call for 13,000 fruit cars, each carrying fifty tons, to take the luscious bunches from the vineyards to the market places. Raisins, first produced in 1867, became of commercial note in 1873. This branch is"carried on in California only. It takes from three to four pounds of grapes for one pound of raisins, and production in recent years has ranged close to 100,000,000 pounds of raisins annually. The price of grapes at the vineyards has changed greatly. In New York thirty years ago the price was five to six cents per pound. From 1896 to 1901 about six-tenths of a cent. Sales have been made at much lower prices. In California good grape land costs about $200 per acre; cultivation, $40 to $75 per acre; returns range from SI25 to $500 per acre. Many California vineyards contain 500 acres each. The larger ones cover from 1000 to 2500 acres each. That of the late Leland Stanford was over seven miles long, and contained nearly 5000 acres. ?F. W. Hewes, in Harper's Wefekly. Publicity as a Panacea. We have in this country an almost superstitious reverence for publicity, as though it were a panacea for political and social evils. Give the people the facts, is our comfortable doctrine, and conditions will remedy themselves. But there is as much difference between diagnosis and cure as applied to printers' ink as to medicine, and {lie time will come, even if the writer be wrong in thinking it is now with us, when the feeblest of tonics will do us more good than the most drastic of these modern literary emetics. It is a curious fact that, when we speak of publicity and its value, we have in mind publicity in its narrow and restricted sense, as the searchlight of public knowledge thrown upon something which is wrong. We 'make it serve as a sort of social scavenger, as though that were its great function instead of its very least. As though that great instrument of civilization was being employed at its best task when engaged in probing, with a pry ng-hook, our social garbage barrels.? George W. Alger, in the Atlantic. I Uives Iler Hair a lies;. ' It's a strain on the hair to be curled and coiffed in devious ways all winter, and many fashionable young women are giving their locks a rest just now by dressing them very simply, minus I the Marcel wave and various other additions to beauty. One girl discovered that she was ruining her hair by too frequent treatments and curlings, and the result is that among her friends' visits to the hairdresser have grown less frequent, for whatever else the summer girl can afford to lose, she can't afford to lose one strand of her hair.^Indianapolis News. Natural ltose Wort. New York belles have set the fashion of wearing a single rose instead of a nosegay. The blossom is, of course, the most perfect to be found, and is worn where it will produce the most artistic or startling effect. A favorite place for the single rose is directly in front at the point in the decolletoge. A girlish effect is given by wearing the rose just over the left shoulder. A schoolgirl has adopted the fashion j; of wearing the rose tucked coqueltish| ly under her hair, which she wears j coiled low. rr l-?? hoc* Ilia nnncf iur dii<;i i r*il1 ori/jru kite tunity of making herself appear taller i by using the rose at the top of her j head, where the hair is knotted. A pretty effect is obtained by a i brunptte who wears a deep red rose caught in her collar, close to her throat. Perhaps the least conventional wearing of the rose.was made a fad by one of the society leaders, who appeared at the theatre with a great pink blossom directly in the middle of her back. From the flower hung tulle streamers, matching the tulle and chiffon laces : about the fair, bare shoulders. l'rinces* Gown?. TTe never quite desert the princess style. For a woman with a -fine figure indeed there's no dress so altogether smart and becoming as the princess. So true is this that at intervals this mode is revived for street wear, usually in the shape of a princess skirt, and some sort of abbreviated jacket. It goes without saying, however, that the princess style is at its best fo~ house wear, and especially for evening. Many of the most sunerb evening dresses are in this mode and though ! white is the choice as a rule a number i of lovely colors are soon in superb efj fects and the material appears to I greatest advantage, there bring one 1 long, tremendous sweep from shoulders ; to trail end upon which the lights play j In delightful fashion. | Oriental crepe, heavy, mellow and satiny, is a cnosen raonc. it is uor.nu i to be magnificent. j .Tust now pailettes on fine net are much in evidence.

The net over-dress aDpoars to be almost loose, and it is caught into the tightly-fitting satin foundation dress about the waist. Not flatly, however. Indeed, the uninitiated might suppose it to be hanging loose and naturally clinging at the curve. Zigzags of pale blue velvet ribbons adorn the foot of the skirt and are also employed to form- a sort of bolero, which serves to finish to decolletage.?Manchester I Union. The Farm Picnic. Picnics claim every summer month for their own, and ofttimes appropriate the early autumn as well. Impromptu affairs, with the accessory luncheon basket opened in some attractive woodland spot, are the preconceived notions of the picnic proper, but there ore other sorts which, owing to their novelty. will appeal to many. The farm picnic is the first of these, i and when once the farm and the farmer are secured there can be no doubt rvf tha nf thp new* dpnartlire. Presuming that these two items have come into your possession by a day's hire, the plan is to convey the guests by wagon or trolley car to the farm. Arrangements having been made with the farmer, the guests find a cool sitting room, a porch, a barn, farmyard and broad acres at their disposal. Hammocks and swings up, the croquet and archery in readiness, tennis and even golf can be brought into the list of the day's enjoyments, if a too great nicety for court and links is not demanded. The serving of the luncheon in the big barn, which is bedecked with boughs and redolent of the odor of hay. is the feature of the day, though it is closely seconded by a late afternoon frolic in the hayfield, where the city folks are permitted to load up the scented cuttings and ride back to the barn; the work which is may to mem being a real benefit to the farmer, though, of course, he would never admit it. The hostess provides all the eatables, so that the farmer's wife is not put to any trouble by the invasion.?The Bee Hive. On Feeding lb a Children. Do not forget that the baby outgrows his food just as he does his clothes, and that timely additions to his dietary are 9 ' firm. a valuable means of preventing scurvy, rachitis, diarrheal disturbances ami other diseases of dietetic origin. Many children are peevish and illtempered because they are improperly nourished. A revision of the diet, with suitable additions, will satisfy the child and transform it into a happy, crowing youngster. A healthy child has an instinct for sweets, and this should be gratified in moderation. Honey is one of the best of sweets, or a little good butterscotch or sweet chocolate may bp used. It is better to overfeed tban to under-, feed a growing child, says the Medical Brief. Overfeeding is less apt to occur with a properly selected diet, for the child will be satisfied with a lesser bulk of food. It is not a good plan to feed children on thin soups and similar fluid foods, as they are filled before the demand for nourishment is satisfied. Children often eat too much meat, resulting in abnormal stimulation of the nervous system and imperfect nutrition of the bony and musclar framework of the body. Cereals, potatoes, wholewheat bread, milk, eggs, cheese, nuts, green salads and vegetables furnish tli? elements of growth and repair in a satisfactory form. "When children lose appetite, instead of pampering them with injudicious indulgences, try feeding them nothing but fruit for a day or so, when appetite will quickly reassert itself unless some disease is incubating. Children who are properly fed will suffer little, as a rule, from toothache, headache; nerves, broken sleep, etc. Proper ventilation, daily outdoor exercise and regular meal times are all essential to appetite and good digftfr lion. Woman as a Ci Jzen. It is strange how slow men are to recognize that in all matters of practical hygiene the women are necessary. We shall never have clean cities until they undertake the job, nor shall we know how to be good national housekeepers until the private housekeepers of the nation extend thtir hereditary function to public needs and duties. Every time the women are given a chance to clean up a dirty city, carry on a crusade against public disgraces and immoralities, they are successful and there is at once a new order of things. In one State the men, the eaters of meat and makers of law, legally allowed the butchers to carry on their work in such a diseased and disgusting manner that the health and morals of the whole people were affected. One woman alone reformed and cleaned up the whole abuse and made the slaughter houses of the State models of hygienic order and decency. Here is another instance. In a Michigan city, Kalamazoo, the women grew tired of filthy streets and disregard of law and they got permission to clean one street for a while, on the same conditions as the contractor had not cleaned it. They did the work, forced slumbering ordinances to wake up, demonstrated to the city that cleanliness is as easy and as cheap as filthiness. and now the men and politicians of Kalamazoo say they have learned their lesson and that they wiil carry out the reform in all streets of the city. The movement was instituted by Mrs. Caroline Eartlett Crane, who also did such marvelous work in the Michigan slaughter houses.

"In time nervous symptoms developed, with pains in the cardiac region, and accompanied I:y great depression of spirits, despondency?in brief, 'the blues!'
