CALVIN s. BEIGE has been elected U. s. senator from Ohio. The question of eligibili- ty is raised, Mir. Brice having voting resi- dence in Ohio, but really living in New York city, with a summer residence at Newport, E.. I. The law stipulates that congressman must be an inhabitamt of the state, and Mas sachusetts congressman-ele was once denied his seat, who was an elector in that state, but had for years been government employee in Washington, though having home there at a boarding house only. However, MT. Brice is likely to be given his seat.

The editor of the Germantown Tele-
graph has been calling at the Agricultural
Experiment Station at Geneva. New York.
He there saw a system in the care of farm
tools that might well be followed upon
any farm especially where there are boys,
rs it would develop In them the habits of
system. order and neatness. 1t would also
tend to impress the idea of personal re-
Sponsibility. The system could be adjust
ed to a small farm as well as 10 a large
one. having the side of a barn or wagon
house for the tools if no Toulouse was
needed. We suggest that during the
winter months Is a good time to get the
tools together. cleaned and hung In their
individual places and the proper checks
made AT the station above referred to
the tool-room is large. and upon the sides
are pegs. hooks and arrangements for hang

there may be no mistake regarding the
proper position Of each tool. its form Is
painted in black at the hook OF peg where
1t belongs. Every man Is known by a
number. and at a convenient place are

men employed; upon these are hung sever
al metallic checks containing the number

When a toe Is wanted by any man he goes
to the tool room. takes a check from his
hook. gets the required tool and puts the
check upon the hook from which it was
removed In this way the location Of all
the tools in work can be determined from
an inspection Of the tool room. and each

FARM NOTES.

A crop of buckwheat makes famine for
the white grub. There Is nothing III the
roots for the grub to feed on.
The way to win battle is to plan your
campaign. The way to have a good gar
den Is to think the matter over and lay
your plans during the winter
whether 1t is fat or billy Some people
land for the sheep as if there was special
virtue in a hill The hill is dry, that is
all.
There is no profit in rearing or keeping
cattle, except through good feeding. in
all seasons of the year. No argument is
required to prove the truth of this asser-
ton, for even slightest reflection shows
that profit comes clearly only through uti-
ization of food beyond the necessity for
maintenance.
The rich black liquid that flows off the
barn yard contains the wealth of the farm.
Use absorbent material and save it. The
loss of liquid manure is great. and if saw
ed would not only add fertilizing matter
to the farm but increase the value of the
solids.
The Western Agriculturist says that the
Holstein-FrieSians Outnumber all the
other breeds of cattle at leading Western
State fairs this season. This shows the
increasing interest in dairy production.
The strong point with the Red Polled and
Swiss cattle is that they are good dairy
cattle as well as good beef animals. and
the best milking families of the Short
horns are increasing in popularity in this
country and Europe Still. the beef-pro-
ducers will ignore milk as of little cOnse-
quence. Meanwhile the dairy cattle are
increasing in popularity the world over.
President Chamberlain of Iowa, in the
Iowa Farmer, says: Change brings ex-
pense and loss in all things, especially in
farming, and should never be made with
out clear proof of a net advantage to be
gained. 1t will cost thrifty farmer far
more than 81 900 to move to another State
and get started as we'll again. and anoth
er 81 900 to learn new methods for soil
and climate Will it pay to exchange?
Take the two states of Ohio and Iowa
grand states. Ny advice to nearly all the
farmers in both states would be to stay
right where they are and to do the best
they can there.
A good road is always to be desired and
is a source of comfort and convenience to
every traveller. Good roads attract popu-
lation, as well as good schools and church
es. Good roads improve the value of the
property, so that it is said farm lying
FIVE miles from the market. connected by a
bad road. is of less value than an equally
good farm lying ten miles away from
market, connected by good road. A
larger load can be drawn by one horse over
a good road than by two over a bad one.
Good roads encourage the greater exchange
of products and commodities between one
section ard another.

THE ECONOMICAL CHINESE.
They Waste Not a Partical of Food and
viii Eat Almost Anything.

The Chinese are pre-eminently econOmi-
cal. whether it be in limiting the number
of wants, in preventing waste or in ad-
Justlng forces in such a manner as to make
a little represent great deal. SAYS the
New York Morning Journal. The uni
versal diet consists of rice. beans. millet,
garden vegetables and fish. with Il little
meat on high festivals.
Wholesome food in abundance NAV be
supplied at less than penny a day for each
adult, and even in famine times thousands
Of people have been kept alive for months
on about half-penny a day each. This
implies the existence of high degree of
culinary skill in the Chinese.
Their modes of preparing food are
thorough and various. There is no waste:
everything is made to do as much duty as
possible. What is left is the veriest trife.
The physical condition of the Chinese doc
or cat. who has to live on the leavings OF
the family, show this. They are clearly
kept on starvation allowances.
Another example of careful. calculating
economy Is the construction of the cookinE
pots and boilers, the bottoms of which are
as thin as possible that the contents NAV
boil all the sooner, for fuel is scarce. and
consists generally of nothing but the stalks
and roots of the crops, which make a rapid
blaze and disappear.
The business OF gathering fuel is COM
mitted to the children, for one who can dc
nothing else can at least pick up strawS
and leaves and weeds In autumn and
winter a vast army of fuel-gatherers
spread over the land. Boys ascend trees
and beat them with clubs to shake off the
leaves; the very straws get no time to show
which way the wind blows before they are
annexed bv some collector.

Elections on the brass utensils and bright

basket occupied the hearth with the tabby
cat; a large shabby dog stretched himself
across the doorway, and regarded us from
between his paws.

easy performed exercise of raising ones
self upon the toes leisurely m a perpendic-

To take this exercise properly, says the
New York Morning Journal. one must
take perfectly upright position, with the
heels together and toes at an angle of rs
degrees. Then drop the arms hfelessly by
the sides, animating and raising the chest
to its full capacity muscularly. the chin
well drawn in, and the crown of the head
feeling as is it were attached to a spring
suspended from the ceiling above.
Slowly rise upon the balls of both feet
to the greatest possible height, thereby ex-
ercising all the muscles of the legs and
body; come again into standing position
without swaying the body backward out
of the perfect line. Repeat this same ex-
ercISe. first on one foot. then on the other.

In the November number of Insect Life.
a monthly magazine issued by the Divi-
sion.Of Entomology of the United States
Department of Agriculture is a note on
the chinch bug, showing the necessity for
accepting with the greatest caution any
conclusions as to the result of intentional
dissemination of the disease among appar-
emily healthy bugs The note says:
The chief difficulty is that at the time
when the disease is prevalent in one To-
cality the same climatic and zymotic con-
ditions are liable to-and in fact usually
do-prevail through a wide extent of
country, and that the disease, if it has not
already appeared, may be about to appear
over the whole area. This at once estab-
fishes the necessity of the most careful oh
Servations bv means of check experiments.
If the diseased bugs are simply placed
among apparently healthy bugs and the
latter subsequently become diseased. the
proof of direct transmittal by Contagion is
but negative. If, however. healthy bugs
are isolated from the imported diseased
bugs and remain healthy, then a probable
itv is established in favor of the cOrtagiOn
bv contamination. The disease is always
most prevalent in cool. wet weather. from
midsummer on. when large numbers of
the older bugs are naturally dying from
other causes. and are probably more la
bic to fall victims to any scourge of this
kind
The subject is of extreme interest. and
while there are reasons which you'd make
us doubtful of any tangible and practical
results following the attempted artificial
spread and propagation of tn" disease. and
which may make us accept with caution
the more sanguine views of men like
Professors Lugger and Snow, yet there
is sufficient promise of such results to
justify the fullest and most careful ex-
parimentation. This will doubtless be
had in the next year or so by the cooper
alton of the entomoIogists connected with
the different experiment stations. The
full life history of the particular Ento-
moahthora is of extreme Importance in
this connection.

CHATTER NYI.-MOLLY.


One afternoon, much to Hannahs de
light. took the children to Wheeler's
Farm. Rolf did not accompany us; Mrs.
Markham had sent up word to the nurs-
cry that morning that he was to drive
with her into orion. He had complied
with this order rather Sulkily, after ex-
tracing from me promise that | would
play soldiers with him in the evening.
Ii was rather hot July afternoon, but
we put Joyce in the perambulator, and
Hannah and | carried Reggie by turns;
and inspite of the heat we all enjoyed the
walk, and there was a lark singing de-
liciously above the corn-fields, and the
hedge-rows of Cherry Tree Lane were gay
with wild flowers, and every few minutes
we came to peep of the sea.
recognized Hannah's description when
we came in sight of the old black-tim-
bered house; there was the pear-tree in
the courtyard. and the messy trough; a
turkey-cock- Gobbler, of course - was
struttiug about in the sunny road, and
from the farm-yard came the cackling of
ducks and the kissing of snow-white
geese. Just then little side-gate opened,
aud a robust-lookiug woman in sun
bonnet came out, balancing two pals OF
water with her strong. bare arms. Han
nah exclaimed: Well, Mollyv' and
Molly set down her pals and cam to
meet US.
She kissed Hannah heartily with. "Glad
TO see thee, lass, ana then shook hands
with me.
Come in, come in. and bring the chit

cheerful voice. Father is smoking his

l disclaimed this, and sung Hannah's
praises all the time we wero crossing the
courtyard 10 the porch.
Molly shook her head, and said. Nay,
she is none too clever, " but looked gratifed
all the same.
She was Il plain, homely looking woman,
as Hannah said, with high cheek-bones
