Lightning Rod Profits.

81 have seen the time I could make
fifty dollars day putting up lightning
rods. Drive up to house and talk
with man about rodding his barn at
20 much foot, and he would figure
that it would cost, say sixteen dollars,
md he would sign an order. Before
the ink was cold I would have seven
or eight men, with ladders, all over
that barn. They would go over it
like cats on a back fence, and put
points on every corner, and conduc-
tors down every side. The farmer
and his family would look on in
amazement, and be so pleased at the
improved look of the old barn that they
would not kick at the number of points.
Then we would go off without collect
ing the bill, and in about week our
solicitor would come along with bill

HOME AND FARM.

For seed, pick out big potatoes
with big, plump eyes.
1t is easier to fatten stock in mod.
crate than in cold weather.-Iroy
Times.
Many of the Affections that visit
our poultry yards are the results of
neglect and filth.
If the pasture is short give the
calves pint of wheat middlings and
linseed meal once day, and see them
grow.-Prairie Farmer.
"A California bee-keeper takes the
position that no plant makes better
pasture for bees than alfalfa clover.
The honey made from it, he says, is
almost equal to that from white clover.
One egg cake: One egg, one large
spoonful of butter. two cups Of sugar,
one small cup of milk, two and half
cups of flour, two small teaspoonfuls of
baking powder, nutmeg or lemon to
flavor.-The Household.
A Wisconsin farmer claims to have
discovered specific remedy for the
ravages of the potato bug. He plants
one or two flax seeds in every hill of
potatoes, and says that by SO doing the
bugs never trouble the crop.
The Homestead says that there is
something wonderful in the fertilizing
properties of clover. 1t is; astonishing
that the farmers do not realize its in
estimable value for the improvement OF
the soil. 1t should never be omitted in
systematic rotation of crops.
The greater the number of fowls
in a place the greater the chances
for loss from disease and accidents.
While one man may own great many
fowls, he can not succeed unless he
manages to give about as much care
and watchfulness to every twenty or
thirty as he would to a single flock OF
ambitious poultrymen, aiming to do
something large, make their mistake
Albany Journal.
Baked OK tongue: Put the tongue
into an earthen pan and lay on the top
of it few slices of butter; then cover
the pan with a flour-and-water crust
and bake, according to size, in a
moderately hot oven. When done
take off the skin and straighten the
tongue on a board by means of skew
ers at the tip and root. When cold
glaze it, ornament it with frill of pa
per, vegetables cut into shapes and
curled parsley.-EIc'tange.
IS. R." asks how Goldfish can be kept
soft and light when cooked in milk.
The secret of success in this process is
that the fish must be picked in fine
pieces, and soaked in cold water for at
least an hour; then pour hot water
over it, and after draining it put it into
the milk which you have thickened
with flour; let this cook just long
enough to cook the flour, and the fish
will be done. A minute or two before
taking it from the fire, add some we'll
beaten eggs.-N. Y. Post.
Turkeys do not require as warm
quarters in winter as do other fowls.
However cold the weather, they
should be allowed to run out of doors
every day, except, perhaps. in very
stormy weather. If confined in warm
quarters and not allowed to run out
of doors, they usually show signs of
indisposition, lose their appetite, be-
come dumpish and inactive, and not in
frequently die. They are very hardy
birds and easily wintered. About all
they require is place to roost at night
where they will be out of the wind,
plenty>to eat and drink and their liberty
during the day.-Chicago Journal.

rova Humorist Relates Some OF tine
characteristics of Wonderful Dog.
Well. sir, that dog-ehp That Gordi-
- settler used to own. was telling
ron about him, you know; well, he was
smart. Didn't take him long to catch
onto all a mans points, and he soon
found out all about my ramrod and
musket, summer vacation style of shoot
mo. You know when you take your
mn out Of its case how good bird dog
9oes wild with Joy, dances all around
Tou. thrusts its tongue into your face
and gives you swab with it from chin
70 eyebrow, and finally rushes out into
the ward and yelps and bowls and
ebases the cat and the chickens up into
the trees from sheer excess of delight
and exuberance of spirits. That's usu-
ally the way of the dog. Well, this Cor
dian setter of mine, he used to watch
me pretty close about the 18th, and
some day. when he'd see me unlocking
the gun case, he'd sneak in, sit down
very solemnly and watch me with an
expression that said, palmer than
words:
You amt going to take it out this
year, are you?
But I'd 90 on and take the gun out
and rub it up little, and he'd shake
his head and look doubtful and say:
Il wouldn't go out if were you;
what's the use?"
And when I'd sit down and oil the
locks, he knew it was settled. He
would heave the most heart-breaking
.igh that ever drew on human sympa-
thy, get up and 60 out into the back
yard and sit down in the shade OF the
wood-pile and shake his head
and cry, not loud, you know, but silent
". Most touching thing | ever looked
at And then he wouldn't eat bit of
supper. When it was brought out
to him he'd shake his head
and say it would choke him
If he tried to eat, and get up
and crawl under the house, and moan
and mutter nearly all night. He did
hate to see me shoot. Sold him finally,
when 1 reformed and quit lying.
Couldn't do any shooting after that, OF
course. Well, sold the dog TO a hunt
ing friend, who was splendid shot,
and you talk about dogs undying
fidelity and love for his old master!
Three days after sold that dog / met
him in the street. Called him by name
and put out my hand to pat him. I'll
eat a wire cartridge if he didn't back
off few steps, look at me steadily, as
though he never saw me before in all
his life, stuck his tail straight out,
raised his forefoot and made dead
noint on me, and then walked away to
the other side of the street. Cut me
dead. And he never spoke to me
again. Burlington Harkeye.

HIGH PRICED.
How Some People Estimate Things b.
Their Cost.


There are people who estimate every
thing by its cost. An inexpensive thing
is, to them, worthless, no matter how
serviceable or pretty it may be. A
fifteen-dollar bonnet, in their eyes, is
far more beautiful than a ten-dollar
one, though the cheaper one may be
the more artistically arranged and
durable. Such persons fall an easy
prey to the wiles of inscriptions sales
men, who seeing that price, in the
customers Judgment. makes the thing
valuable, do not hesitate to take adj
vantage of their folly.
A lady entered picture store to pur.
chase small easel. The clerk showed
her variety, from which she selected
one and inquired the price.
"Forty cents answered the clerk.
''Oh. no." said she, .'that will never
do, Haven't you nicer kind?"
The clerk then displayed several
more expensive easels; but none of
them pleased her as much as the first.
He was not discouraged, however, but
determined, if possible, to make a sale
by fair means or foul. Finding that no
other easel suited so well as the one she
had selected at first, he again showed
it to her, as if she had not seen it
before. But he asked seventy-five cents
for it.
She thought it was very pretty. but a
little too cheap, and she said she
would look elsewhere for something
s'nicer."
The clerk had shown her all the
easels in the store except an unopened
case of the forty-cent variety. As a
last resort, he said: s'Pnrdon me,
madam; but if you'll wait a moment,
l think can show you some that you
will like"
In few minutes he placed before her
an easel worth dollar and quar-
ter" exactly like the one for which he
had recently asked but forty cents.
The lady noticed that it was similar to
the other, but only to comment upon
its superior beauty. She bought that
easel at the increased price, paying
three times its value, just to get some
thing mice. y Youths Companion.
