Keep House and Barn Apart.

After selecting the site for the
barn, I would place the house about
200 feet from it, and on line with
it. The barn and house should al
ways be goodly distance from each
other. 1t is a vital mistake to have
barns near the dwelling; never allow
a deliberate arrangement to construct
the buildings so that every horse, COW
and pig that goes into the barnyard
will have to 90 through the house
ward. The occupants of the house
ought not to have their attention call
ed to the lowing of the animals in the
barn, or to the sound of empty or
loaded wanes every time they pass IN
and out the barn. The merchant and
mechanic go to their place of business
in the morning and return at night
to their house, which becomes rest
ing-place for them; they are entirely
apart from their business for the
time. but farmers homes and bust
ness are usually all mixed together.
They are almost never away from
their daily toll, it being oftentimes
difficult to tell where the more labor
is performed, in the house or in the
barn. There ought to be change.
If wagons, cattle, hens and pigs are
allowed near the house, it will be
only half the home it should be. |
would have the house set by itself, as
far away as convenience would allow,
so that it could be cared for and be
kept tidy and neat, SO that the wife
and daughters might have yard of
! flowers and other ornaments, afford
inc an attractive and desirable place
in which to live If the affairs of
this kind were more looked after, far
mers' children would not hasten to
the village or city as they now ito.
Young people of spirit want some
thing to crafty their tastes and fan
cies. Deprivation of all but an end
less round of labor will drive them
from the country home as surely as
prairie fire will drive the wild beasts
to safe retreats.

How Dimes are Made and
Counted.

The United States mint in San
Francisco is said II be the largest
institution of the kind in the world.
just at the present time there is a
lively demand for silver dimes, and
two of the money presses have been
for some time running exclusively on
this coin. The demand is so great
that these machines are not even
stopped on Sunday. The process
of dime making is an interesting one.
The silver bullion is first melted and
run into two-pound bars. These in
turn are run through immense roll
ers and fattened out to the thickness
of the coin. These silver strips are
then passed through machine which
cuts them into proper size for the
presses, the strips first having been
treated with a kind of tallow to pre-
vent their being scratched in their
passage through the cutters. The
silver pieces are then put into the
feeder of the printing presses, and
are fed to the die by automatic ma
chinery at the rate of 100 per min
ute, 4S, 900 dimes being turned out
in regular working day of eight
hours. AS the smooth pieces are
pressed between the ponderous print
ing dies they receive the lettered and
figured impression in a manner SIM
liar to that of a paper pressed upon
form of type; at the same time the
piece is expanded IN slight degree
and the small corrugations are cut
into it's rim. The machine drops the
completed coin into receiver, and 1t
| is ready for the counters hands.
The instrument used by the counter
is not complicated machine by any
means, as one might suppose. 1t Is
a simple copper-colored tray, having
raised ridges running across its sur
face at a distance apart the exact
width of dime. From the rece1v-
er the money is dumped on this board
or tray, as it is shaken rapidly by the
counter the pieces settle down into
the spaces between the ridges All
these spaces being filled, the surplus
coin is brushed back into the receiv-
err, and the counter has exactly l23O
silver dimes, 1925, on his tray, which
number is required to fill the spaces.
The tray is then emptied into boxes
and the money is ready for shipment.
The dime does not pass through the
weigher's hands as does the coin of
larger denomination. One and
one-half grains is allowed for varia-
ton or tolerance" in all silver coins
from a dollar down, and the devla-
ton from the standard in the ten
cent pieces is so trifing that the
trouble and expense of weighing
coins of this denomination is dis
pensed with.

A Word to Mothers About
Reading.

In the education of children, moth
ing is of more Importance than
wise supervision of their reading.
Better might child take into its
stomach food which will certainly
derange, than to absorb at this crit
ical period into its developing mind
the worse than useless, positively
pernicious s'literature,' so called,
with which the world is flooded, and
to which, unfortunately, there is
such easy access. Many mothers,
careful to the last with their chill
dren's physical development, will,
with carelessness perfectly astound-
ing, leave the providing of mental
food to their own unaided judgment.
A book-loving child of ony age aotH
read. and it is the sacred duty of
every mother to see to it that good,
wholesome reading is provided. Avoid
the ''story papers of questionable
character which are frequently thrust
upon YOU. Cultivate in children who
have it not, the love of reading.
| This can he done, to a great extent,
by providing literature i'll line with
their peculiar tastes, using your
knowledge of their fondness for a
certain occupation or pastlme as
your guide. Reading is too great
privilege, too delightful pleasure,
too powerful an assistant to the for
nation of character to be tightly neg
lected or missused. If all parents
looked more carefully to their chill
dren's reading there would be de-
velopment of character otherwise i'm
possible.
Hardly any sacrifice should be
considered too great to provide good
reading, not only for the chill
dren, but for the mothers likewise
when tired and discouraged, and out
of temper with yourself and others.
drop your work and all thought OF
your worry, and take up a whole
some, interesting book for half ar
hour. Ten to one, at the end OF
that time the world will have assum
ed different aspect, things evil
not seem so bad after ALL and (;
solution of the difficulty will sool

Care of the Lamp.

The lamp is such a necessary ar
ticle in the home that it is strange
it should be neglected as often as 1t
is. 1t requires but few minutes
care each day to keep it in order. yet
even this short time is denied 1t by
many housekeepers. An i'll kept
lamp is a dangerous as well as an
unsightlv object, and many OF the
explosions of oil lamps which ap-
pear almost every day in the news
papers could be traced to careless
ness in caring for the lamps. NO
woman having the welfare OF her
family at heart will willfully neglect
this very important task. ASIDE
from the danger, there are few-thlngs
so annoying TO person when reading
or sewing. as a poor light, ana an
i'll kept lamp will of necessity give
forth such a light.
The danger of allowing children
or even careless grown people to nan
die lamps can not be overestlmateo
Lamps to be carried about the mouse
ought to be of tin, and the danger
is not so great. If glass lamps are
filled lightly with cotton, there IL
not as much danger as without, FOL
if the lamps should fall the oil woul'
not have a chance to spread, and thu

sgaaies' Column,
House Plants and Insect
Enemies.

Among the plants that best resist
the adverse conditions of our dwell
ings are the English, German ana
Roman ivies, the geraniums or pei
argoniums, oxalis in several varieties.
The several varieties of abutilon and
oleander make tall, woody plants,
and require considerable room Tor
their accommodation, but are very
handsome and universal favorltes.
There are several varieties of cactus
that thrive in dry air. Carnatlon
pinks, also do well. Camelias, VIC
lets, and the Chinese primrose need
a cooler and moister atmosphere than
most of the above named plants, and
will succeed better in a rather cool
sleeping chamber than in the warmer
parlor.
There are several beautiful vines
that NAV be trained up the sides OF
the window, besides the ivies already
named; the smilaX cobe scandens,
Madeira vine and the charming maui
randia.
Among the most discouraglng
things about window gardening are
the insects; persistent care, with a
little knowledge of the remedies
will however effectually subdue them.
The aphis OF green fly, is one OF
the worst of them in the greenhouse
he is effectually subdued by persist
eHt tobacco smoking. In the win
dow he is most easily killed by dip
ping the plants into a solution of
tobacco, or in case of vines that
cannot thus be handled, by sprink-
ling the solution over the leaves I'M
derneath as we'll as on top.
The ''tea for this purpose is pre-
pared by soaking common tobacco
stems over night in just enough wa
/ Ter 10 CONCI ohSh ooeAAN - $4,000
pint of this tea to pailful of water,
turn the plants over while holding
the earth in the pot with one hand,
and dip the leaves entirely under.
Red spider is only to be conquer
ed by frequent sprinkling OF the
leaves with a fine syringe. The
scale insect is conquered by brushing
the stems with an old tooth brush
dipped in soap suds; he is apt to be
troublesome upon the orange ano
oleander trees Mealy bug is dis
posed of in the same way.
To the fond lover of flowers this
work will seem a pleasant duty rath
er than irksome drudgery, and any
one who does not love flowers wei
enough to do such work often ant
thoroughly would be wise to leav'
their culture to others.

Farmers Clubs.

It is pleasant to see the increased
number of associations or clubs OF
farmers formed throughout the
country. They are the best evidence
that can be produced of the improved
morale of the farmer. When a man
becomes social in his feelings it is a
sign of contentment, aud when any
one is contented there is not much in
this world to get beyond it. These
associations of farmers are productive
of much good to all concerned, when
the concerned include the wives, sons
and daughters. The meetings at one
anothers' houses for mutual inter-
course. for the interchange of opin-
ions on the numerous subjects of
their calling, and the settling of
many points in dispute in the general
plan of operations on the farm, which
can only be done by experiments and
reporting the results of them, are
certainly OCCASIONS to look forward to
pleasantly. The question as to the
best horses, cattle and live stock gen.
orally, machinery, implements, etc.
which does not always meet with all
the consideration deserved by our
farmers, is one of special interest
just now.
But in their social aspect these as
semblages have a happy and tran
QUILTING effect. They bring friends
and neighbors oftener togather, than
which nothing has a more sOftening
influence in promoting increased
friendliness and good will among
families whose business of life is the
same and whose permanence of res
idence is seldom disturbed. In a
word, when these associations OF
farmers, which should really be
ssfarmers' sociables," are not too for
NAL, and are held in one anothers
houses, we cannot imagine what
could be more useful and enjoyable

Cultivating Colt Courage.

A horse that is naturally courage
Gus may be made cowardly by abuse.
If be often receives blows the fear of
them is uppermost; and any unknown
noise is imagined to be a coming
hurt, to escape from which is an I'M
comfortable impulse. The man who
abuses his horse is often rewarded by
the destruction of his property and
injury to himself, the result of runa-
ways. But when the courage Of the
colt is developed, it is not nearly so
likely to run away, though it be ham,
pered with blinds or abused by a cru
ell master; and is hardly saying too
much to assert that if it is properly
treated it will never run away. Too
often the training of the colt has an
effect contrary to the cultivation OF
it's courage. Forgetting that temper
is the most valuable quality Of the
horse, its owner tries to ssbreak' its
temper-to COW the animal. The
horse should be trained, not broken
and training requires firmness, mixed
with much kindness. The man who
has no control over his own temper
and whose judgment is warped by
anger, is not fit to train a colt. AS
abuse will make it cowardly, so kind
ness will make it courageous. The
basis of courage is confidence, and
the first point is to secure the conf
dence of the colt The next is to
make the colt sure Of his surround
ings. Watch closely, and whenever he
shows fear for anything, allow him to
smell of it. If he has confidence in his
trainer this will not be difficult. If
he SHES at a stump or rock, ride OF
drive him up to it. Handle his limbs
and touch them with a strap until he
no longer shrinks.
The courageous horse, the one with
spirit trained, not broken, is the
horse that does the most work
1t does not lag +; to drive it is pleas
ure. 1t does not "give up" and
leave you mired in mud-hole; il
has the spirit, the courage, to eXer
itself to the utmost. Among horses
iG is the one trained with spirit, will
fine temper that does the most work
the least harm, and in danger acts
quickly and intelligently.
