We are keeping - many - We ought to

every dairyman should feed; feeding

JACKSON'S HERMITAGE,
High Aims Of the Ladies' Aseocia-

Recent Timely Repairs to tho Old Cabins

cue tho Hermitage from
Times Ravages.

General Jackson moved to his large
estate, called the Hermitage, about the
year 1904, says the New York Herald.
The two cabins, shown herewith. we're
once connected, and were the Generals
first dwelling on the Hermitage farm.
The larger cabin formerly contained
three rooms, one on the ground floor
and two above. After the more com.
modious Hermitage was built, this was
cut down to one-story cabin. 1t is full
OF historic "reminiscences.
While this cabin was his home he won
his military renown and fought the bat
tie of New Orleans, January 8, 1915.
Here he received the famous visits OF
Aaron Burr in May and August of 1905.
Some of the most hallowed memories
of his career cling to these little old log
cabins. They have both been lately
renovated by the Ladies' Hermitage
Association.
In 1919 General jackson began the
erection of a grand mansion, at that

The room to the right downstairs
was the Generals bedroom and stands
to-day exactly as he left it, with only
the difference made by the lapse of
forty-four years. Old Aunt Hannah,
still living, aged eighty-six years, was
Mrs. Jackson's maid and it was in her
arms she died.
The domestic life of the Jacksona
was one of exceptional beauty and de-
votion.
just before his departure for his in.
auguration in Washington Mrs. jackson
died. Two days after her funeral

man, to accept the highest honor the
Nation could bestow, but it could not

museum of curious and valuable gifts.
The tomb is in the southwest corner
of the garden, about one hundred yards
from the house. 1t is of solid limestone.
The dome over the tomb is supported
by eight Doric columns resting on a
base of three steps. In the center is
the monument, on either side of which
is marble slab beneath which lie Gen.
eral and Mrs. jackson.
General Jackson had no children Of
his own. so left all his property to his
adopted son, who sold the Hermitage in
1856 to the State of Tennessee. Since
that time the family of the adopted son
have been tenants at will on the estate.
Successive Legislatures were puzzled
what disposition to make Of the proper

United States Government for . branch

spoken Of in connection with it. Seeing

Association was organized. duly char

in 1889, intrusted to theircar the house,

Their object is to purchase the valued
furniture and precious relics Of General
Jackson now in the homestead, also to
restore this historic mansion to its orig
inal beauty and grandeur, and save to
the nation q sacred spot where cluster
memories of holy domestic life and un-
faltering patriotism. As Mount Vernon
is saved. so do they desire to save the

Orchards In Grass Lands.

We are asked if it is advisable to seed
down orchards and keep them in grass.
We suppose that reference Il made to
the apple orchard. Peach orchards, and,
we believe, pear orchards, should be
cultivated as long as they stand. The
apple orchard should certainly be cul-
tivated for three or four years, and
then it is better to SOW it to clover. The
grasses proper make too stiff sward
Still, many orchards are sown to grasses
and many are ruined by permitting
them to remain in grain. There are
orchards that would be greatly benefited
by at least digging around the trees
when they have stood in grass for a
long time. Clover does not make as
strong a sod, and it makes excellent
pasture for the hogs, which, if rung and
kent out of the orchard when the
ground is wet and soft. will do An
orchard good by running in it-West-

FASHIONS FOR LADIES.

Hints and Suggestions Relating to All
Sorts Of Dress Novelties.
Light, feecy furs are used for trim
ming house dresses.
Pompadour ribbons of various width
are stitched on evening dresses in rows
from the neck to the hem of the toilet.
Shepherds checks of one color, with
lines of black, white or red, come in
soft twilled woolens for children's
dresses.
Pretty cotton, merino and challie
cloths leave printed borders along one
selvage that will work up neatly for
house gowns.
The furore for plaids this season re-
ceived it's first impulse from the tartan
cloaks and gowns made for the Duchess
of Fife.
Straight sashes Of thlee-inch padded
silk and angel sleeves of gauze are char
acteristics of very novel house or party
dress.
Fringing Of monkey fur is coy look
ing finish for a walking jacket. 1t is
also seen on princess dresses of black
silk and cloth.
Boat-shaped turbans have been dis
placed by the military cap made Of the
dress material. with a band of fur to
match the muff.
Brilliant mohairs and lustrous alpacas
come in all the new colors for the early
dresses in which to shop, go abroad or
take spring journeys to the land Of fow-
ers.
Any profit In the fur trade for the sea-
son has come from small pieces such as
cuffs, muffs,, collars, vests and capes.
The English fashion of wearing fur
capes in summer will doubtless be re-
peated next season.

little Conveniences That Add to the
Comforts of Home Life.
Good housekeeping consists in con-
tinual care for small things which in
themselves are nothing, but in the total
make up the comfort of home life. 1t is
a simple matter to see that all the house
stores are kept on hand, that each
matchbox about the premises is filled,
shat every room has a convenient recep-
tacle for matches and one for burned
matches. Yet the neglect of so trifling
a matter may cause some one, hunting
in the dark for a match, an enormous
amount of annoyance. AgoOd supply of
nice brown papers laid away carefully
and bag or box containing different
kinds of Irvine cost a hOuse-keeper moth
ing, as they may be saved from parcels;
yet such habit will find ready appreci-
alton when some one is in need of paper
and string to tie up parcel. There is
nothing so unsightly as an old newspa-
per for such a purpose. There are SO
many good uses that old newspapers
can be put to, that brown pa
per should be always kept on
uduu u wrap up PdrCciS- ucro
is nothing better than old news
papers under a carpet to soften the tread
and keep the hard floor from wearing
out the carpet. There seems to be some
ingredient in the printers ink that
drives away moths, and for that reason
newspapers are better than any thing
else to wrap up furs and wOOlens during
the summer. They should never be de-
stroyed after they are read unless used
for kindling, but should be kept in
straight pile. 1t is a wise precaution to
keep a roll of old linen, one of old cot
ton and needles and thread in the
kitchen drawer where it can be readily
found in case of burn or cut. A step
ladder on hand to reach high places
saves q great deal of trouble. A step
ladder table, which may be covered
when not in use, or a wOOden-seated
chair should be on every floor, except
the kitchen floor, where the ceilings are
usually so low that any high place can
be reached by standing on the kitchen
chairs, which are always, or should be,
made with wooden seats that may be
scrubbed and washed. All these mat
tiers are small, but series of petty vex-
atoms are more liable to irritate tho
temper than genuine trials.-N. Y.

six balls for the two innings, should
have used only two and counted nothing.
There must be something wrong.

Two Bad Weeds.

Two Bad Weeds.
Canada thistles and quack grass are
the worse to kill unless one knows how
not very difficult if done the right
way. For quack grass pillow in May,
three inches deep every week, and once
in July; be sure to cut the tops off; do
not dig up the ground over three inches;
do not pillow the second time. If you
wish, sow it to buckwheat the first week
in July; If not, keep on cultivating I'M
til the latter part of August and SOW
wheat, rye or grass; and know from
experience your quack grass will be
gone. besides lots of other foul weeds.
For Canada thistles do the same. only
pillow later, the last half of June, be-
fore the thistles blossom; put chain on
your pillow so as to turn the tops all in.
Commence by the middle of July to
pillow, harrow and cultivate every week,
and by the first week in September your
thistles will be gone. This is what we
call here the smothering process. These
two pests both grow from the root and
seed; the root is the worse; every little
piece if broken and left in the ground
will surely grow. Quack grass makes
its greatest effort to grow through June,
Canada thistles later. A good spring
tooth harrow, with points made square,
is an excellent tool to cut the tops off.
Some gang plows do very we'll; some
wheeled cultivator, If bright and sharp,
will cut tho tops of. Be sure to cut of
tops every time-no halfway work. No
poor tool should be used. A good three

fifty acres in . summer and have tho
finest seed bed for wheat or grass that
can be made.-Country Gentleman.
