A boy friend asks whore the swifts built tiieir nests before man built the chimneys. They used hollow trees. Just so long as hops bring ? "? and th ' cholera stays off. Just so long will the farmers of the corn belt continue to make a lot of money. The Jersey cattle are much movents wwtfrnre carcass is of sucli a deep yellow color as to be almost repulsive. The windstorm which thrashes onehalf of the half grown fruit from the heavily loaded tree is instead of a calamity usually a blessing in disguise. The traction engine hauling a gang of six fourteen inch plows does the work of twelve good horses and does it bet- 1 ter. It does Its best work where the fields are a mile long, as in North Dakota. The government test as to the effect of borax used in food prod nets as a preservative is completed. The squail of young men upon whom the test was ntndo have survived and are in good condition. jjfk If tramps begging a hand out would clothe themselves in a pair of overalls and a mm in us instead of a faded dross suit ami wear a fifteen cent chip hat instead of a battered derby they would meet with a more kindly reception. There are millions of unij... . " acres in the son"- ;,,u' where t diiak.1 can be grown there may a very ] profitable type of agriculture be car- < rled on, even if but few other crops can be grown. An Indian Territory farmer this year ] rnised 10,000 bushels of potatoes which brought him about ?."? cents per bushel. The crop was off the ground the last of , June and was then planted to corn. This two crop farming looks as if It was quite a bonanza. The putting into use of ten wide tired wagons in a community Avill do more to further the cause of good roads than the holding of a good roads convention with Its (lumididdle resolutions and speeches. The wide tired wagon and the rush road tax are the beginnings of better highways.

The government seed hnsiu >.? is a public fraud. If you don't bellow it eorne 1o our garden and see a dozen hills of a measly mnsktnolon sent out by the department as a new kind of encumber. Then. If cutting olT the seed distribution should retire a lot of congressmen from public life, it will Ik? another mighty good thing. Just as long as this practice prevails we will have a whole lot of seedy representatives in congress. It is a hard thing to attempt to answer an inquiry as to which Is the host variety of strawberry to plant. There are many good kinds. Some kinds do well on some soils and poorly on other soils. Among the host all round herries in the matter of adaptability to varying conditions of soil and climate we would place the Warlield, Beder Wood and dandy. The old Crescent, the Clyde, tie Brandy wine, the Sample, have many admirers. If one is going to set out a hod the best way is to get plants of that variety which does best in olio's own locality; see the man who raises the most and the best berries. A light Brahma lien belonging to a neighbor, with her brood of twenty-six, half her own and half adopted, wandered into our garden one day lately and made straight for the potato patch, where there was an abundance of the halt "W sip.? -e *""'*"d0 beetle ?t bent on the vines. Then follow** something which we never noted before?the old hen feeding her chicks these slugs until they could hold 110 more. Our previous experience had been that neither poultry of any kind nor any wild birds would touch these pests under any circumstances. This was one ease where the neighbor's chickens in tlie gardens proved a blessing. A Mori Illetl Wife. The Rev.

The throwing of tlie slipper after the bride comes apparently from barbarous times, when the relations of man and j wife were really very much akin to j those of master and slave, for it seems that the shoe was an emblem of author- ! lty, and at an Anglo-Saxon marriage a shoe was given by the bride's father to her husband in token of transference ' of power over her, the groom usually Indicating his appreciation of that fact by tapping his new wife lightly on the ' head with It. - Palpitation, Shortness of I jath and fulness after cat- Q use Ramon's Pills?they m Drug Co. ????u???- it f TUB CLIMATE OK T1IE XOUTIIWHST. j The northwest lend* In the great varlety of its climatic eruditions.

He was the son of a small fanner?a common country boy?milked the cows, plowed the corn and, freckled and barefooted, cut up pranks at the district school. AVlien he was eighteen ids ambition had become aroused to know more about his business of farming, and so he determined if possible to secure a thorough agricultural education at one of our b?st colleges, lie dug away for four years, often pinched for money, and living a life of absolute self denial so far as the personal pleasures common to young men were concerned, lie was determined to learn all he could, and learn it thoroughly and well. So well did he succeed that when he graduated a place was waiting for liiui at a salary of $1,2?K) per year as manager of a large stock farm, and now, on his second year, he commands a salary of $2,0(10 and Is acquiring a wide reputation as a stock Judge, breeder and feeder. In a financial way he would do even better as the manager of his own business. lie is not quite twenty-live years old yet nnO tils future is assured. The point worth noting hy other boys In his case Is that he wanted to do something and be somebody; that he was willing to undergo the hardships incident to securing the education desired and patiently and persistently labored for the accomplishment of his purpose. The reward in his ease was jufi iiis sure mm just ns logical a result as are poverty, loss of self respect and failure the results of laziness, untlirift and foolishness. fornl From Itnly.

Mrs. Lowe, wife of Robert I .owe, nfforward Viscount Slierbrook. was a tremendous partisan whenever her hushnnil was concerned. After the reform hill of 1807 Disraeli and the Lowes made no pretense to any mutual liking. At a dinner once at Lady Waldegrave's the guests had all paired off till only Disraeli and Mrs. Iajwc were left. With his inscrutable smile and complete appreciation of the humor of the situation, Disraeli bowed and extended his arm, "I suppose there's no help for it, Mrs. Lowe," when both burst into hearty laughter.
