INTENSIVE FARMING.

This term is used in connection with the
more modern style of farming and may be
understood to mean improved modes of
culture. more care in returning to the soil
in barn-yard manure and commercial ter
tilizers an equivalent for the plant food
yearly carried off in the crops sold, and
system of rotation by which profitable
crops may succeed one another with the
least exhaustion of the fertility of the soil
Market gardening, by which the greatest
profit possible is sought to be obtained
from the area cultivated, Ia leading fea-
ture in intensive farming. Such term
cannot be rightly applied to the old sys-
TEN of growing grain and grass on portions
of farm while others are quite often left
producing nothing. Only. where farmer
seeks to make the most profit possible
from all his acres according to their adapt
ability, can he be said to practicing inten-
sive farming.

Six Timrs Married.

4 telegam from Bradford, Pa, dated
November IL says: Ten years ago the
little tavern at Emerson's Mills, in the
Pine Run lumber region, mas kept by
noted character, Elias Benton. He bad n
very pretty daughter named Betty. Her
mother was dead, and she looked after the
household affairs of the tavern. She was
16 years old, and Edward Shott, bark
contractor, young and well-to-do. WAS in
love with her and wanted to marry her.
Betty wanted 20 marry young Scott, but
her farther had other plans, and she was
compelled to obey him. He chose for her
husband a man three times her age, who
owned large pine tract in the neighbor-
hood, valuable property that landlord
Benton was anxious to possess He COM
PEELED his sixteen-year daughter to
marry this man, Aulds by name. He only
lived six months, and left his young widow
the pine land, which her farther sold and
appropriated the proceeds to his own use.
Young Shott had in the meantime closed
ont his contracts and gone away. One
year after the death Of her husband young
Mrs. Aulds married entirely to spite her
father. John Grover, a sawyer. He was
killed in his employers mill one month
later
The landlords daughter was now twice
a widow, although she was not yet Is years
old. Two months after her second husbands
death Edward Shott returned to Emerson's
Mills, and on her 18th birthday young
Widow Grover, who had grown defiant of
her father, married her old time lover
The couple lived happily for year, and
one child was born. The child was not
two weeks old when the farther was
crushed to death by falling tree in the
woods. Widowed now for a third time,
the landlords daughter mourned her third
husband sincerely for two years. Then
her farther died.
AT the age of 81 she made what was
| regarded as most fortunate marriage, her
| fourth husband being Elmer James, a
young Warren county lawyer. James
! turned out to be drunkard. He abused
his wife and her child so shamefully that
she had no difficulty in securing divorce,
which was granted four months after she
became Mrs. James. She remained a
widow until she was %, when she married
George Rhone, a widower of so. He was a
prominent man in the locality. Before
they were married year Rhone died with
the smallpox. His young wife nursed him
all through the course of the dreadful dis
ease, escaping without taking it herself
Rhone left his widow $40 900 in cash. She
was then not "a years old. Not long after
her last husbands death she took her child
and went to Ohio, where she had relatives
living. This was one year ago. Las
Thusday she wrote to a friend in Bradford
that she was to be married the next day il
Covington, Ky, to young man named
| Charles Green. farmer.

And then he saw the figure by the win
dow with its immovable white face and
unalterable smirk was only that of the
dummy which had decorated Miss Agatha
Simplex's windows when she took in tailor
ing, dressmaking and general millinery
business. And the window was wide open;
and the bed had not been slept in.

Mixsell. ''She has-left met
just then he heard the sound of putting

ing, beheld the portly form of Miss Peg

tell you her mesSage9"
"What messagei" breathlessly demand
ed Mr.. MixSeH.
THAT she was gone back to the shop,
and if you wanted to see her you'd find her
there.
Mr. Mixsell considered Should he go
or should he Iot' True, his pride was con-
cerned; but then, again how nicely Agatha
ironed his shirts and cooked his supper,
how pleasant was her welcoming smile
when he came home a little late ON a
frosty October night
''Yes!" said Mixsell, I'm go''
And he did go. The late Miss Simplex
sat behind the big "To Let" in the bay
window, composed and calm. She greeted
Mr.. Mixsell with an icy politeness that
went to his heart.
"Agatha!" said the ex-widower; you-
you're not going to ledre mel"
"Ill stay with no man who treats me
like child" she said.
"But, won t treat you so"
''Tll live in no house whose proprietor
locks me up" went on Mrs. Mixsell.
''I'n never do it any more, my dear!'
"And forbids me to go to concertsl"
''l'll take you myself next time Agatha. y
And upon this understanding Mrs. Mix
sell returned to the conjugal home, and
Mr.. Mixsell chopped up the abominable
dummy for firewood.
Agatha Simplex had conquered, and Mr..
Mixsell never was the same man again.

The famous rhyme Of

The famous rhyme Of
Little Mamie Etticote
In a white petit coat,
With n red nose
The longer she stands the shorter she

Is plagiarism from an eastern poet.
The original, being translated, is as fol-

/ saw maiden slim
Who shorter and shorter grew,
Though still as fair and trim,
As unto death she drew
With look so bright and merry;
When her life odtbew
There nothing was TO buryl
As | the matter handle,
The maiden was a candle.

How She worked Her Hubby.

Last week a Beaver Falls woman went
to a drug store not thousand miles from
the post office and got prescription filled.
GLOW much is itfy said she, as the
druggist was licking the liable for the last
time. Ninety cents" said he. "All
right" she continued in almost the same
breath. "I'll pay you and leave the medi-
cine here and go home and tell my husband
that there is dollar due on it yet, so when
he calls for it tomorrow You collect the
the money and hold it until come back. =
..what kind Of a racket are you working
on the old man, anyhowf" said the pill
maker. "well, you see, ne won't give
me any spending money, and this is the
only way have to get it. Every once IN

trick, and they understand the situation
and meyer give the snap away" The drug
gist, when he heard Of the husbands
penuriousness, sympathized with the
woman and her methods of getting little
spending money.

GUARDING HENS, NESTS.

The nest is the Matching place of lice, as
well as of chicks, as a poultry writer truly
observes. A single application of disin-
fectant will not keep lice out Of the nests,
as the warmth of the hens bodies will en-
courage them to remain. All nests should
be scrupulonsly clean, but something else
is required as a protection against the YER
min. The best remedy is Persian insect
powder, fresh, busted over the nest
and its contents at least once a week.
An occasional busting Of the sitting hen
will also be an advantage, but il she is
given dry dust bath she will keep her
self clean-yet the nest must be guard

What He Would Have Done.

A missionary was preaching TO an
American frontier audience on the prodigal
son. After nc had described the condition
Of the son in rags among the swine, and
had started him on his return, as he began
TO speak of the father coming to meet him
and ordering the fatted calf to be killed in
honor of the prodigars return, he noticed
cowboy looking interested, and he deser-
mined to make personal appeal Look
ing directly at his hearer, the preacher
said: "My friend, what would you have
done II you had son returning home in
such plightfv "Td have shot the boy,
and raised the calf" was the prompt reply.

pAinr THE RARS RooFs.

Here is suggestion for husbandmen
who desire to practice true economy. An
Eastern writer advises farmers to have the
roofs Of their barns painted as means Of
preserving them from decay.
The falling drops of rain, he AYERS, cause
the fbers of the wood to break, making a
"frizzy" surface which holds water and iu-
duces decay. Paint entirely prevents this
as long is it lasts. 1t is cheaper to keep
the roof covered with some inexpensive
paint than to have the labor and expense
of renewing shingles every few years.

Yes, b'gosh! he rid his pass out end he

End he used ter drink hard cider when he
