You seek a mate, fair, black or red,
Nor ask her age nor nation.
Though unexpressed, 1 see your need,
With insight truly human,
How well your manly worth deserves
A loving, trusting woman.
Why wait for fate, when scores of
girls
In maidenhood still tarry,
And wait an offer, sir, like yours
TO settle down and marry.
So. should the author ofthis verse
With you find ready favor,
Why, then, respond without delay
And from old maidhood save her.
These lines are sent with wishes kind
And anxious expectation
Oh. may they win without reproach
Your warmest appreciation.

WATERING THE STOCK.

Although some horses, unless very
thirsty, only drink a small quantity each
time, they should have it all the more
punctually. They want that little just as
badly as the horse which drinks greater
quantity. Many horses like to take their
time to drink. They should be allowed
that time, and should never be hurried
away from the water. Give them all the
time they want.
Some horses are far more particular
about the quality of the water they drink
than Others. They drink only pure, cold
water with a relish. Given any other
they will not drink heartily nor thrive so
well. All horses, and indeed all kinds of
stock, do the best when they have puro
water, and they should have it often.
Even the hog, that is fed largely with
liquid food, should have its drink of pure
water often.
Cows that drink impure water soon
show the effect in the quality of their
milk. 1t is in dry, hot weather, and
during long, hot days, that this subject is
most important to the farmer. When the
stock cease to thrive, the capital invested
in them ceases to bear interest.-Prdiyie

Tanning BY ELECTRICITY.

This talk about tanning leather in a
few hours by electricity is all rubbish.
You might us well try to fatten pigs by
electricity. But leather can be tanned in
a very short time, although a perfect
article cannot be produced in less than
five or six months. Some time ago .
Buffalo On. " man asked me how long
t would take me to tan a goat skin and
make pair of boots. told him it could
be done in twelve hours. He bet me

GOOD BUTTER MAKING.

1t may be A. d. 1915 before the co.
operative creamery, in some of its forms.
will have superseded farm butter>making,
however desirous we may be of its earlier
adoption by dairy people in general. In
the interval, an immense amount of but
ter will continue to be made at the farm
homes. That this butter would make
motley collection as in the past, none can
dispute, but there is after all q constantly
Increasing amount of good butter put
upon the market. II people could be in
duced to discard their individuality in
making, and adopt some few, definite
rules, 50 that butter-making could have
system and sameness about it, there
would be great advance made. Too
Jew realize that their way of making is
not the method by which the butter is
made which brings the highest price. No
one is selling butter now at advance, and
paying prices, who still clings to "Grand-
mothers" way of making. Neither does
the market put premium on butter made
from actively sour cream, nor butter with
pronounced butter milk flavor, or made
sharp with over sailing. Butter, to bring
a high price, must be of cream not over
thirty-six hours old, slightly acid. 1t
must be washed free from butter-milk
with weak brine, and salted not 10 ex-
ceed three-quarters of an ounce to the
pound. Butter also needs to be packed
In some of the cheap but tasteful pack
ages now obtainable, and sent to the mar
ket Immediately. Long keeping butter
is no longer called for. Butter is made
to sell, not to keep, and the consumer
says, ''to eat fresh, not held until devoid
of fine flavor, or aroma The great
evil is that so much butter is
made by those who have few
cows that they cannot make a speciality
of fine butter-making, and so make as
best suits them. This butter made from
old and often fermentiug cream, is at the
start destitute of butter flavor. 1t
IS not washed free from butter-milk, but
"worked over" with ladies, "balled up"
and sent to the grocery store, unprotected
from the light and air, and then con-
signed to the ''shoe box" When at last,
weeks, may be, though it should only
have been days at the most, this butter
finds its way to the city market to be re-
jected and neglected. it is finally sold for
few cents pound, and atcually scoffed
at by the prescribed oleomargarine.
This making of an originally good ma
terial into low-priced, Objectionable ar
ticle, that does not attract but lowers the
price and lesens consumption, should be
stopped. 1t is both improbable and un-
businessl&e. The market wants good
butter, and discards poor. Why, then,
insist upon furnishing the latterl If one
cannot make fine article and get a good
price for it, either change methods, quit
the business, or, what is better, patroniz,
a cooperative creamery. There the ma.
teTial of a whole neighborhood can be
msssed, rules of production adopted so
that substantial uniformity will be Sc,
cured, and a final product turned out that
finds its way-at popular prices-to con-
sumers of good butter. The one is
money losing the latter is money making.

A onnr roriroe CHOLERA.

A remedy for hog cholera given by the
Georgia Department of Agriculture is,
flowers of sulphur, ,sulphate of iron (cop-
peras) and madder, two pounds of each,
black antimony and nitrate of potassa
(saltpetre), half a.pound of each and two
ounces of arsenic. Mix this in ten gall
Ions of Cruel for 100 hogs or give pint
dose to each hog daily. Give II to hogs
both sick and well where the latter have
been exposed. Tho sick must be sepa-
rated from the well animals and both
classes removed tonew and clean quarters
or pastures. Burn the old beds and
sprinkle the floor of the sheds with So
luton of one pint of pare carbolic acid
TO ten gallons of soft water. All dis
charges and impurities should be deeply
buried or treated with n solution of one
ounce of chloride of zinc to two gallons
of water. The persons attending the
sick animals should not have anything to
do with the well hogs, and all food and
water must be clean and pure. If these
directions are faithfully followed the dis
case may be stayed and stamped out.
Every farmer should inspect his hogs and
all animals daily, and act promptly on
the first appearance Of disease.

A Monkey Trained to Steal.

There was told in my hearing the other
day, tale which carries with it moral.
A gentleman who travels a good deal,
being a batchelor with good fortune
and plenty of leisure, has, when in town,
suit of rooms at the house of his mar.
ried sister. He returned recently from a
trip rather Unexpectedly, reaching home
in the evening. His sister, who received
him, apologized for the fact that his
apartment was not wholly in order.
"We have a new chambermaid,n she
said, land haven't wanted to tell her toe
many things at once, and as l didn't
know you were coming, didn't bother
her about your room. Twill send her up
the first thing in the morning"
In the morning the new chambermaid
did, indeed, come the first thing, and the
gentleman was still in bed He, however,
slipped into his dressing-room to remain
until the maid should do whatever was
necessary in his chamber, and taking a
book he sat down to read while he was
waiting. He always carried with him a
diamond ring, which had been his moth
er's, which he sometimes wore and some
times had in his pocket. This he had
left with his watch ON the stand, by the
head of his bed.
He sat reading for some time, and even
fter he heard the maid go out he kept
IN with his book. Suddenly he heard a
light noise in his chamber, and, folding
lis dressing gown about him, he opened
he door and looked in. The chamber
yas apparently empty, but his eye was
aught by cord which seemed TO extend
rom the open window toward the bed.
going forward TO examine this he per
,eived a monkey, till then hidden from
light by the bed, that, with his diamond
ing in his clutches was making off. The
owner of the ring shouted and ran for
ward when the thieyish animal dropped
its prey and skurried out of the window,
as fast as its skinny little legs would
carry it, and, picking up the jewel to as
sure himself that it was all right, the
gentleman reached the window in time
TO see an organ grinder making off with
the monkey on his shoulder There was
no doubt that he had trained the beast to
climb into windows, and to steal any val
liable upon which he could lay hands,
and the incident may serve as warning
to those who allow organ monkeys to
scramble at will over their chamber blinds
and windows.
But the impressive aspect of the story,
if one considers, is the position in which
the chambermaid would have been put

the scene but a moment later = propideDcl

HINTS ON HANDLING BEES,

just before swarming bees fill them
selves with honey, which supports them
IN their new home until they get to work
again. This is an exceedingly fortunate
thing for the beekeeper, as it makes them
much more kindly and easily handled
than they otherwise would be. With bees.
as with men, they are best natured when
on full stomach. In the colder portions
of the country protecting the hives is
necessary, either by placing them in cell
lars or packing in chaff; in milder sec
tions and in the South they will pass the
winter well on the summer stands. In
handling bees fearlessness is a wonderful
protection. A person who fights them or
tries to drive them away is quite sure to
be stung. Still, it must be admitted that
there is something about persons that
gives to few immunity from bee sting
that other cannot obtain.
The safest way for the average bee
keeper is to protect ones self as well as
possible by the dress, use q smoker, and
proceed as you would about any other
work, taking care not to crush or iniure
bee. Occasionally a colony will attack
a horse that has been driven or led too
near their stand. When this occurs they
often exhibit vindictiveness and perse-
verance that is not only wonderful, but
dangerous. Horses that have been heated
by driving and become sweaty are more
obnoxious to them than the same animals
would be when in their normal condition,
grazing near the hive. There arc so
many things to be learned about bees that
persons without experience in the bust
ness, who design keeping them, should
buy one of the many books on the sub
ject or subscribe for good paper de-
voted to beekeeping g.-Mep York World.

rARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
mt forget the pickle barrel.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES,
Don't forget the pickle barrel.
Don't forget to keep the strawberry
bed clean.
Keep the young trees mulched or well
cultivated.
Kill the weeds early; do not let them
go to seed.
Rub the sprouts off the fruit trees be-
fore they become tough.
Burdooks and thistles are best har-
vested before they bloom.
The grind-stone is "cheap hand" in
the hay field. Use him often.
When you have the money in hand is
the best time to count the harvest.
Good oil, applied often, makes easy
work, and saves the machine for next
year.
Alsikc gives smaller crops than red
clover, but the quality of the hay is
better.
Japan buckwheat is one of the ''novel-
ties" that has come to stay. All reports
are favorable.
Treat all raspberry and blackberry
sprouts as weeds, unless you wish them
for setting out.
You can't mortgage your crop or farm
and keep on good terms with your credit
DIS and family.
If you do not need the young beets for
green's, thin them out anyway and give
Them to the COWS,
Have a few bolts and nuts, also a
wrench, chisel and hammer in the tool
box of the mower.
If you planted your garden in long
rows, isn't it fun to run the cultvator
up and down theml
Vineyardists do not practice pinching
off the ends of vines or summer pruning
as much as formerly.
Don't kill insect-destroying birds.
They will save much more than they de-
stroy for any gardener or fruit grower.
Orchard grass is good drought re.
sister. California farmers pronounce it
superior to timothy, red top and blue
grass.
Botanists seem to agree that wheats do
not cross readily; indeed, it has been
held that they do not cross at all, but are
self-fertilizers.
To remove moss from the trunks of
fruit trees apply solution composed Of
one pound of concentrated lye to three
gallons of water.
Professor w. A. Stewart enumerates
among the protein or nitrogenous foods
for stock: Shorts, bran, oilmeal and cot
tonseed meal, all rich in protein; while
of rough folders clover hay is the richest.
Shut the young turkeys in at night
and do not let them out on wet mornings
till the grass has dried off. Give them
water in shallow vessels. "Don't let the
little. turkeys get their backs wet till they
are feathered" is a good rule.
The first thing to look to after you
have made up your mind to keep bees is
pasturage. For, according to bee
keeper, a greater falsehood was never
palmcd off on gullible public than that
''bees work for nothing and board them
selves"
The only trouble reported in the use of
Rrsenical poisons for destroying insects
in orchards is in the burning of the fol-
iage by having the mixture too strong or
putting it ON too heavy; the latter often
owing to the fact that the machinery
used is not of the best.
To exterminate raspberry bushes in
pastures, cut with bush scythe and then
stock the pasture with cattle to browse
the sprouts. Neat cattle are much bet
ter than sheep for exterminaiing bushes
and the coarse-wooled varieties of the
latter will do more toward that object
than those Of finer grade.
