The Northwestern Lumberman, which
usually confines itself to the price,
quality and quantity of various kinds of
lumber in the various markets, and
sometimes has a word for builders and
contractors as to the future supply, and
if the current prices are to be sustained,
ETC., in q recent issue went out of it's
way to illustrate the whims and COM
plants of the ordinary farmer.
81 would prefer being almost any,
thing to being a farmer. He has to
take chances on the weather, guess
whether every other farmer will put in
the same crops he does, and everybody
has dig at him. When he sells his
crops he has to look out
that he don't get beat on
the price, and everybody who sells
him anything wants to get big money
out of him. It is drought, too much
rain, cyclones, hail storms, bugs, worms,
poor seed, or something similar all the
time, and the farmer never knows
whether he owns cent or not. Be-
sides, he's always in debt, and the store
keepers cuss him because he is such in
formally slow pay. Yes; it must be fun
to be a farmer. But, after all, the
farmers are everlastingly overestimat-
ing their adversities, aud things never
turn out half as bad as their prognosti-
cations. The farmer is the arch grum-
bier, and when he hasn't got enough
trouble to make him feel. at home, he
borrows supply from his neighbors,
and it is the only thing he always man
ages to nav back"

few months. Only be careful that eggs
do not freeze.
4. Turn them half over three times a
week, to prevent them from adhering
to the shells. The turning of the eggs
is very important, and is one of the Sc
crets of success.
5. No packing materials necessary.
Simply lay them on racks or shelves;
though if preferred they may be packed
in boxes, III dry oats, and the boxes
turned.
&. Solutions, greasing the eggs, egg
preserving preparations, ETC., are I'M
necessary, as some of them injure the
appearance of the eggs.
Z. Wash every egg clean before plac-
ing it with the others.
If the above rules are followed there
will be no difference between eggs SO
preserved and those that are fresh. No
person can succeed in preserving eggs
who buys them from all sources, an d
who does not know just when every
egg was laid, and it is on that point SO
many failures occur. You cannot place
any dependence on eggs except from
your own hens. Even your neighbor is
sometimes unable to prevent getting a
stale egg in among the fresh ones.
Never use stale eggs as nest eggs, or al
low sitting hens to be in the room with
your layers. The greatest care should
be exercised, and the eggs kept always
cool.-Fdrno and FSreside.

The RetOrt Courteous.
From the New York Graphic.


When the sister of the governor of a
neighDoring state was married, few
years ago, she received a great many
valuable presents, and among them
were many pieces of plate and silver
ware of all sorts. But particularly was
she overwhelmed with silver fruit
spoons. Beautifully chased, gold-lined,
in every sort of variety, were these
spoons.
After the wedding, and when they
had returned from the honeymoon, the
bride found that she had no immediate
use for half of the silverware she pos
sessed, especially as for the time they
were to live in her mothers house. So
she consigned some of it to the care of a
bank in town. The fruit spoons all went
to the vault.
A few months later she received an
invitation to attend a wedding OF a
schoolmate in a neighboring town. She
knew she would have to 90 TO New York
to buy a suitable present, and she didn' t
care about taking the journey just then.
Ali at once the idea came into her
head that she had great superiority of
fruit spoons. Why should she not send
some of them to her schooImate for a
present? There seemed to be no OBJ
lection, so she sent the butler down to
the bank With orders to PICK out case
of spoons. The butler fulfilled his mis-
sion. None of the presents were tick
eted, so that it was altogether impossi-
bic to tell from whom this particular
set of spoons had come.
The spoons travelled once more to a
hymeneal altar, and the lady who sent
them heard nothing about them for sew
eral days. Then she received the fol-
lowing letter:
DEAR MADAME: I am very CRATE full
to you for returning the spoons. I
thought they were too good for you
when [ sent them to you as a wedding
present, and it is honest for you to send
them back. Yours, etc.,

Use the Corn Fodder.

Just on the eve Of haying, it is well to
determine what will be done with the
corn fodder this fail. Some claim that
it takes much work to save and feed the
fodder, and that they can save hay much
cheaper. That is not the question,
which is the cheapest Will it not pay
to save and use both Can not the
farm be better arranged SO that all of
the forage it can produce can be profita-
bly, saved and used Haying is in a
busy time Of year, and it frequently
draws the force from the corn field
when it is much needed there. On the
contrary, the time TO save the corn fod-
der is comparatively a leisure time, and
it can be saved when it will not rob any
other department Of the farm. The
farm should be SO arranged and stocked
that all the fodder, hay, and grain
which is raised on it can be
saved and profta big fed out to
to the stock. For this purpose more of
the farm will have to be devoted to past
ure, and less to cultivated crops. The
cornfield will produce an immense for
age per acre if saved at the proper pc
Rod when it is at its best, keeping in
view the best results for the ripening
corn. This Is question Of vital i'm
portance to every Iowa farmer. Farm
more thoroughly. Put more work on
fewer acres, with good prospect for
equal gross product. Sell off, in some
cases, half the farm and pay off mort
cages, and vet farm as largely as ever
not as many acres, but more clear
proft.-Des M0ines Register.

Most of Them VIII Support Harrison for
President.
Boston dispatch to New York Post mugwump).
Among the leading mugwumps here the
opinion is quite general that the organiza-
ton of four years ago will not be brought
into action this year. Mr.. George V.
Leverett, one of the Executive Committee,
states the case in this way: The mug
wump organization was formed for the
purpose of defeating Mr.. Blaine. They
believed that he personally was dangerous
to the country and that the ideas which he
represented were menace to the govern
ment. They organized to beat him.
While there was chance that
he would be nominated at Chi
cago, it was possible that the
mugwumps might be called upon to Or
ganize for another campaign, but now that
Blaine is out of the field there is no ne
cessity for them to keep up a separate
organization. They were united only on
their opposition to Blaine. Some of them
were protectionists and some were for a
revision of the tariff Their bond of
union is gone with the nomination of
Harrison, and they will doubtless act as
they see fit on the nominations. Others
Of their number take the same view.
Blaine is defeated, they say, and that is
what the mugwumps organized for; they.
can now divide as they choose on the issues
of the day. Harrison is a clean man. and
the fight is not to be made on the charac-
ter of the candidates. but upon the princi-
pies Of the platforms.

Preserving Il ggs.

Although there are dozens of meth.
DDS for preserving eggs, yet but few oil
them are worthy OF notice. Lined
eggs have been almost unstable this
year, and the lime method will soon be
discarded. We give below few rules
that will enable our readers to preserve
eggs in good condition for at least
three months, though eggs have been
Kept as long as six months by the proc
ess.
l. Always use fresh eggs. and do not
rely on those from your neighbor. You
must know that every egg is fresh, as
one stale egg may injure all.
2. Use eggs only from hens not in
company with cocks, as such eggs will
keep three times as long as those con-
tanning germs of chicks.
3. Keep them in a cool place-the
cooler the better. Anywhere near 40
degrees above zero will answer, though
60 degrees will be cool enough for a

Would Not Commit Herself.

A country wedding, usually a serious
occasion, may have humorous incidents
as one event showed. During the cere-
mony it was noticed that the bride took
no part in the responses. The groom
answered the usual questions with
heartiness and good will, but not a
word passed the lips of the blushing
bride. Some of the guests thought
timidity or modesty might be the cause
of the silence; one, more curious or
more bold than the rest, asked the
bride why she did not respond. ooh,
/ wasn't going to commit myself" was
the rather surprising reason given by
the prudent damsel.

Within this sheltered nook.

And soft and low, wind-tOssed tune

The breezes sweep the purpling grass
In>courtsies to the grain,
Whose restless pillows rise and fail,
Across the dimpled plain.
The locust beats his castanet
In ceaseless monotone;

Amid the blossoms drOne.
The river glides, clustering band,
With dropping willows fringed;
With sunset glory from the sky
The distant hills are tinged.
Gods peace and glory over all
Rest like whispered prayer.
And Natures benediction throbs
All through the listening air.
And with it all no hint is given

When birds will fit and flowers droop,

A longing comes that Time might stay

Prominent Republicans in this State
are sure of their ability to carry it for
Harrison, presiding campaign in the
interest of protection and eliminating the
bloody shirt be speedily begun and the
fighting forced. These men base their
belief on two points-the growth of the
Republican vote and the strength of the old
Wing element in the Volunteer State In
1874 Henry Clay carried it by 113 over
James K. Polk, Tennessean, and
the old-time Wings are growing as en-
thusiastic over Harrison as they were for
his grandfather in 1910. If few of them
can be induced to take the stump the ball
will be put in motion and kept !" a rolling
on" with constantly increasing momen-
tum. In 1876 the Republican vote was
$4,000. In 1884 it had grown to 124, $50 in
round numbers. With the constantly in
creasing immigration from the North it is
fair to suppose the figures will now be
much greater. Taking into account these
Wing defections, which can be made
large, and the steady growth of protection
sentiment, as exemplihed in the formation
of clubs, it is not too much to say that
Tennessee is at least doubtful state.
