HUSBANDS, HELP Your WIVES

HUSBANDS, HELP Your WIvEs.-A
young man who is priced by his employer
for his faithful efficiency at his desk, and
admired especially by his friends for his
thoughtful kindness to his wife, was seen
about five o'clock the other morning wash
ing the windows Of his rented home. A
little merriment at his expense elected
the frank response Never mind,
can't afford to pay a wooh orwoman to do
it, and perhaps if l demonstrate my abil-
ity to take care of house, the world
will let me own one some time" And
so he will some time own house, and be
able to hire it cleaned, too. This brave
independence in economy is not only
worthy of imitation by hosts of young
men in these close times, but the exam
pie of mutual burden-bearing in the do
mestic circle is all praiseworthy. How
many feeble women are every day Juggling
away at heavy burdens of domestic toll
that are trying their very heartstrings,
while their genteel husbands are perhaps
lingering lace and silk over counter, or
pushing gold pen in an elegant count
ing room. Husbands, there ought to be
masculine muscle in the Mushroom,
cleaning house, sweeping heavy carpets,
and in doing dozens of heavy tasks in
the household. Try it these long MORN
ings, and see how amiable and devoted
your wife will be.-Troy Times.

GRANGE DEPARTMENT
THE PATRONS OF HUSBANDRY.
23,SOO Oranges = 100000 Mem
bers Enrolled.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE head
quarters of the National Grange of the
Patrons of Husbandry, which ever since
the organization of the order in 1868,
has been in Washington, will probably
be removed to Louisville, Kentucky, in a
short time. At the last annual session
of the National Grange at Charleston, 3.
c., in February last, the executive COM
mittee was charged with the selection OF
a new point for the headquarters. 1t
was thought that ST. Louis would have
been chosen. Kentucky stands No. as
regards the number of Oranges, having
1,559. Indiana leads the list with 2,O27
Oranges; Missouri has POPS; Iowa, q
O04; Illinois, / 1874, and Kentucky l.
559. The total number of Oranges in
the United States is %, 500, with an esti-
mated aggregate membership Of ,5OO,-
900. The official history Of the order,
Just published by the Secretary, shows
that the total receipts from 1868 to 1871
inclusive, were less than So, 900, while
the receipts last year were S216, 381.-
The order at present has 500, 900 invest
ed in government bonds and SO, 900 in
cash on deposit at the financial agency in
New York

About Milking.

Five per cent, and perhaps ten, car
be added to the amount of milk obtained
from the COWS Of this country, if the fol
lowing rules are inexorably followed:
l. Never hurry cows, in driving to and
from the pasture.
2. Milk as nearly at equal intervals as
possible. Halfpast five in the morning
and six at night are good hours.
3. Be especially tender of the COWS at
milking times.
4. When seated, draw the milk as ra-
pidly as possible, being certain always to
get it all.
5. Never talk or think of anything be-
side what you are doing when milking.
6. Offer some caress and always a
soothing word when you approach a COW
and when you leave her. The better she
loves you, the more free and complete
will be her abandon as you sit at her
side.
We append the not uncommon prac-
tice:
1. Let some boy turn the cows away
and get him who is fond of throwing
stones and switching the hind ones every
chance he gets.
2. Milk early in the morning and late
at night, dividing the day into two por-
tions, one of fifteen hours and the other
nine.
3. Whack the COW over the back with
the stool, or speak shaply to her if she
does not $50" or "hoist."
A. Milk slowly and carelessly, and stop
at the first Stacking of the fluid.
5. Talk and laugh, and peahaps squirt
milk at companion mixers, when seated
at the COW.
6. Keep the animal in tremble all the
time you are milking, aud when done
give her vigorous kick.-Ex.

Southern Rural Gentleman.
PyracantIIu VS.. Usage Orange
For Hedges.
ELLIOTT STATION. Nav "a 1879

ELLIOIT STATION, MAY a, 1910.
Editor Rural = Having seen in the
Southern Rural Gentleman an article on
the comparative value of Pyraeanthus
VS.. the Usage Orange as hedge plant, ]
have concluded to give you my expert.
ence with the Usage Orange.
The most certain and easy way of rails
ing the Usage Orange Hedge, &c, is to
put the seed in vessel to soak-in clear
water-the 1st of April, renewing the
water every two days to- twenty or thirty
days-forty days will do them no harm.
About the 1st of April commence prepar-
ing plot of new land that is not set in
crab-grass Have the rows three feet
apart, and prepare as for cotton. Harrow
the beds twice before sowing the seeds,
then open with cotton drill very. shall
low, and drill one bushel seed per acre,
and work it as you do wedding
with the fingers. The plants will grow,
on good land, three feet high the first
season-large enough to set out the next
spring. When you are ready to set them
out, cut off the tops at the ground with
good steel weeding-hoe, and bar them
off with turning pillow and then take up
the roots with good spade. To set them
out, cut a ditch on the fence row one
spade deep and one spade wide, clean out
the ditch and place the plants six inches
apart In this ditch, then fill it with rich
earth. You need not be careful about
covering the roots entirely up with earth,
as they are sure to come. The second
fall, top to within six inches of the
ground, third fall to eighteen inches. and
the fourth fall to four feet. and never
let them get any higher. Thin out in the
spring and summer the tops and sides |
hi up the gaps every spring with new
plants and enrich the poor places with /
