Hints For the nousewife.

When the hands are stained. use
salt and lemon juice; this will take of
stains and render the hards soft and
white.
Don't forget. II you are n tall woman,
10 have your workable aud ironing
board IA few inches higher than they
are usually made. This little precau-
zion will prevent many u backache.
When stove Is cracked cement
may be made OF wood ashes and salt,
In equal proportions mixed TO a paste
with cold water. Fill the cracks with
this whom the stove Is cool. and IL will
soon harden
In washing clothes both the dirt
from without aud tho soiling from the
body need TO be- removed. This last Is
largely accomplished by the oxidizing
influences OF the air. and hence atmos-
phere drying Is better than artificial
heat-drying.

Grain DrilI..

No kind OF farm implement Is more
grossly abused or suffers worse from
such abuse thnn drills for dcpositing
seed grain. As soon as any OF the
delicate machinery for distributing
seed becomes rusted it works poorly.
aud tho drill is then no better than
broadcast sowing, II as good. With
those having fertilizer attachments
still greater care is required. They
must be not only sheltered. but every
particle OF the fertilizer be cleaned out
or IL will surely cause rust All com
mercial fertilizers are made soluble by
sulphuric acid, and although the bone
takes up and neutralizes part OF this.
IL cannot do so for the whole. Pnos-
phate standing In sacks quickly eats
holes In them, aud In contact with any
metal IL certainly produces rust. which
prevents easy working OF the machin-
cry. More grain drills rust out than
wear out They are used only few
days in any season. and II housed and
properly cared for at other times ought

wlntcrlng Hogs Cheapiy.

There is no use in trying to econo-
mize in the feed OF hogs during winter.
The man who only cares TO get them
through alive wastes all. he feeds. aud
has only stunted pigs instead OF the
thrifty onss he put up in the fall.
Breeding animals Of any kind should
not be fed heavily, especially on corn,
bet even breeding sows should be kept
thrifty. and IL they are young they
will probably grow in weight enough
TO pay for their keep. besides their

Woman. like electricity. has here
tofore been known by effects. Like
this subtitle magnetic force, she has
defied analysis, evaded control, de-
clined TO be driven, readily glowed to
enlighten and warm, or flashed glori-

She Is the electric element In human
nature. the universal element I'm hui

or small, public or private, can we
eliminate her influence, and In none

character OF her manifestation. For

ing out floods OF blessed light or black
ening with a glance and staying with
touch, she at once beguiles and baf-
fles analysis. and sets the world, that
cannot get on without her, wild with
its problem OF what TO do with her
unmeasured power. Held within the
lines OF nature, turned with all their
sweetness and strength in the
channels OF wifehood and mother
hood, the womanly forces rarely
failed OF beneficent action, like the
mysterious agent to which we have
likened them. that works no mischief

the brightest intelligence and the
highest affections. the subtitle revealer
OF man to man, the link between the
edistant and the near. the interpreter
OF the divine mysteries OF God.
But the lightning scorches and
shrivels the rough or careless hand
that grasps IL, and sends its swift
shock OF destruction through what
ever campers with its power. And
just this is what has happened all
through the ages TO whatever hand
has held woman back from the best
that she could be. There can be no
shaking of or separation. The at

is stronger than the hurt. Mary Lore

Having shown the drift Of the cattle

writes Mr.. Cuthbert Powell. shall
now look into the future aud see II we
can read what is ahead OF US In this
most important branch OF industry. In
The west many. indeed may say most.
OF the big herds have been dispersed
or greatly reduced. the ranges cut
down more than one-half within the
pust ten years and the small cattle
holdings increased steers i per cent
and cows 80 per cent The cost OF pro-
duction Is now estimated by our best
informed ranchmen at so per cent
greater than ten years ago. and the
danger OF mortality by more crowded
ranges is greatly increased. IL used
10 be estimated that IL took ten acres
OF range to support a steer through the
year. and anything less than this
makes the grazing OF cattle on the
open range the year round risky. I'm
fortunately we have no means OF OBJ
tanning the number OF acres TO each
head OF cattle now in the range coun-
try. But that IL has been greatly re-
duced the past few years by the rapid
increase in the number OF farms and
astonishing swelling OF cattle hold
ings throughout the range country can
be clearly shown. In Kansas, accord
ing TO the government reports. the
ratio OF grazing lands TO the number
OF cattle has been reduced so per cent.
In Colorado two thirds in Texas one
half and Mexico nine-tenths. The
ranchman is therefore being crowded
on all sides. and IA herd OF cattle on a
western prairie is no longer goose
