Wbat Finger Naus TeIr. In.days when superstition was more prevalent than Lt is now, the shape and appearan-e of the finger nails -were considered to have reference to one's destiny. To learn the message of the finger nails it was necessary to rub them over with a compound of wax and soqt, and then to hold them so that the sunlight fell fully on them. Then on the horny, transparent sub stance certain signs and characters were supposed to appear, from which the future could be inter- eted. Persons, too. having cer"ain kinds of nails were credited with the possession of certain characteristics. Thus a man with red and spotted nails was sup posed to have a hot temper, while pale, lead colored nails were considered to denote a melancholy temperament. Narrow nails were supposed to betray ambition and a quarrelsome nature, while round shaped nails were the dis tinguishing marks of lovers of knowl edge and people of liberal sentiment. Conceited, narrow minded and obsti nate folks ivere supposed to har: small nails. indolent pe-ople fleshy nails and those of a gentle, retiring nature broad *ails.

The Georgia Experiment Station ecommends the following amounts of ertilizer for each acre devoted to weet potatoes: Acid phosphate 1000 oands, mariate of potash 500 pounds, otton meal 1100 pounds, or a total of 1-00 pounds. This has been tested Iite extensively and the station ecommends it with confidence. Trantplanting Large Trees. Very large trees can be successfully ransplanted by beginning operations n the fall before the ground freezes. Rhe size of the tree is only limited to he power and convenience available o do the moving. The writer trans >Ianted a large elm tree in the follow ng manner: A circle with a radius of wo feet was marked around the tree. )atside of this a ditch was dug about hree feet deep, cutting all roots of ourse but the top roots. This ditch ras wide enough to allow a man to et into and work under the tree. A tole was then dug to receive the tree, nd when the ball froze solid the en ire tree with earth was removed and >i.mted.

Selooting a piece of upland try groana, th soil is excavated two eet deep. A frane is thea set up rhich is six feet high at the ridge ole. The roof is covered with boards welve feet in length running from he peak of the roof to the ground urface. Enough windows are pat in o give needed light. The sides of he house are banked up all around, ,nd coarse litter or straw or hay is overed over the roof to keep out rost. These storage houses or cel ars are built twenty-four feet wide nd from fifty to 100 feet in length. L building fifty feet long will hold 0,003 heals of celery.

The care of animals at the larns udl sheds will form no small part of he work daring the winter, and while boy may assist at this, and should .0 so to learn the business, a man hould always have an oversight of it, hat he may know that they are prop ly fed and that they are in good jth and thrifty.

It sometimes looks as if certain obbies were selected solely for the urpose of provoking an argument, ndl the old threadbare cry of "too ihch corn" seems to be the one mong all others that, like Banquo's bost, keeps constantly bobbing up. row why in the name of all good ness is all this hue and cry raisea over the feeding of corn to laying hens? Our grandmothers went to the corn bin every day with the dishpan,which they generously filled and distributed without stint to the hens, and who will deny that at the end of each month the balance of accounts at the wayside store was not in their favor? The hens layed during the coldest days of winter, even though in many cases not the warmest houses were provided. You never then heard the cry of overfeeding; on the contrary, every effort was made to keep the hens fat. They hustled and worked all day, never failing in that most important task of laying. But now every time our hens cease to lay or get dumpy, we are promptly told that we are over feeding. There most certainly is reason in everything, and if our hens are con fined in yards we must as near as possible conform to nature's wants. Still, there are more failures from lack of feed than there are from an eversupply. Corn should be one of the principal feeds for laying hens-just enough of other grains to furnish an agreeable change being given, and you can rest assured that if the hens do not lay the fault lies elsewhere. Of course during the warm months a less heatinz diet should take its place, oats being perhaps the cheapest and best of the other grains.-Home and Farm. The Plan of a Fari Granary. I have found the granary, the ground plan of which is illustrated herewith, most satisfactory for my own use, says H. B. Moore, in New England Homestead. It is 28 by 32 feet. The crncrib, 8 by 22 feet, oc cupies one side of the granary. This bin will fiold about 1030 bushels of ear corn. Next to this is a driveway 10 by 32 feet. Three small bias are provided for meal feeds or grain if so desired. An oat bin 10 by 12 feet ,vill hold enough for the ordinary farmer. The cleaning allay, 6 by 10 feet, is very essential in cleaning seed for spring use. The corner Oat n in 10 x 3 !t 5 xM' * ' a x82' FLOOR PLAN OF GRANAR7. posts are 10 feet high. The attic or upper floor is used for a storage way for farm tools, sacks, etc. These are hoisted by means of a trap door, rope and pulley. The small grain portion is sided first with shiplap and over this is placed No. 2 house siding. Thig adds to the strength of the building, keeps out beating rains and makes it almost impossible for mice to get into the granary. The small*'grain side will es utilized for scales can nd there will or rotting, as th under shelter. A stairway la othe second story out of the cleaning alley. Routine Dairy Work. Routine care of dairy stock in win ter is essential to success. A stated hour for feeding, another .for milk ing, a third for cleaning the stable should be observed punctually. No, other dairy system can be made to pay. Cows soon adjust themselves to conditions; if the conditions are wrong, they go wrong, too. It will pay to get started right. If the cows are milk at 7 o'clock on week days and 9 o'clock on Sundays. fed and watered irregularly, the stable cleaned whenever time permits, dairy lack will fly out of the window. Where other farm products are cheap, there isn't a farmer who does not need to keep his dairy luck at.home. On win ter mornings cows need attention early. Their natural inclination is to go to feeding soon after daybreak. Set the milking time so that it will di vide the twenty-four-hour day equally, as six in the morning, six at night or 7 a. m. and 7 p. mi. respectively. By not varying from this p!an, the lacteal economy of the cow will be educated to regularity in milk secretion and ac cumulation, and the cow will yield more milk when milked regularly. As cleaning the stable befouls to some extent the atmosphere, it had better be done after milking rather than before. If done immiediately be fore, a deodorant can be used on the floor prior to beginning milking. Milk flavor is so delicate and fragile a thing that in winter especially tue greatest care is necessary to preserve it. The odor from cows and their surroundings in summer time is not offensive to even the most fastidious, but in win ter it takes a routine system of care to preserve this cleaniiness. Feed regularly. I urge this not solely because the cows appreciate it, but because they demand it. When a cow's stomach is empty, her milk bag becomes empty, too. While I believe in heavy feeding, yet a small quantity of food given regularly will produce more milk than heavy rations of the same character fed irregularly. While digestion and rumination are going on there should be plenty of water in the cow's stomach. The animal's own de sire will decide how large a quantity. It is necessary both for the assimila tion of food and to make up the 87* per cent, of water contamned in the milk. It must be remembered that cows are dumb, and that, confined in statlcions, they cannot manifest their thirst by any sign. Their need in this direction must be anticipated, not sasmodically, but as routine practice. If several hours elapse without grati lition, the present need has passed. They may drink, but the milk flow has been shrunken. Dairymen, this winter of all others.yon cannot afford mi::-.

"About five hundred miles from S Para, at the ,Anction of the Tapajos e River with the Amazon, a town was reached which proved extremely in- e teresting to. the gunboat's crew.
