| This is the season of moving. and from
! now until after the month of May I'M
| mense cOnveyances containing house
| hold effects may be seen vending their
weary way toward new homes. Man is
migratory animal, and never seems
content to settle down in one place for
| any length of time. And right here l
would say TO those who have an ire
| pressible desire to pull up stakes and
go hence that moving is no picnic. l
know what l am talking about, for
have passed through all its
varied styles. from lowering myself

the bed to escape an irate
landlady and the payment of room rent,

| fair, and it is all hazardous and debil-
itating sort of work. There are some
people who want to move every time
the month of May comes around. l have
no sympathy with such. They give me
ennui. | will say this, however, that
you will never know how much stuff
you have on hand until you begin to
| load it on dray. By the time the cart
backs in for the tenth load at 81 per
load you will appreciate that what say
! is true, and will be furnished with an
| other and convincing argument against
! the folly of moving. There are no cast
| iron directions to be obeyed by movers,
| but there are few little rules, COM
pliance with which may be of great
benefit and assistance.
If You have any children send them
! off to relatives in the country until the
operation is over. If you do not. then
the neglect be on your head. The Or
/, dinary Young America can break and
| destroy more periShable articles of
ihousehold usefulness than any subse-
| quent tears of regret can make up for.
| They also have a most aggravating
habit of getting in your way and there
| fore, If you don't want to fall all over
| yourselves and your little ones as we'll,
! Danish them for a season to the wood
| lands.
Animals are mighty hard furniture to
| move. Take cat for instance. After
Thomas has dOmiciled at a house for
| a few moons he becomes as much part
! of ii as the rafters, and is just about as
| difficult to move Tor remove). am in
| favor of removing them. A little rough
on rats will do the business swift and
, sure, and will save you any amount of
| bad temper and prOfane language.
| Therefore waste no time with Tommy.
Any neighbor will furnish you new
one wherever you go and pay YOU
handsome bonus for taking it off his
| hands.
In moving poultry it is always desir-
! able to catch them first, and before es-
saying this delicate duty, go down town
J and purchase a large stock of the pa
tience of Job. Be sure and get Jobs.
They may try to palm off some other
| on you, but don't you have it at any
price. Supplement this by taking a
cold bath, rubbing yourself thoroughly
with crash towel, after having taken
a few good plunges. This done, envel-
op yourself in your most dilapidated
! clothing and sally forth to do or die.
Don't try to corral the whole shooting
! match at one fell swoop. Take them
one at d time, and stick to it until dark
ness sets in. Don't be discouraged if
| you fail to bag all the game the first
| day. Be patient till the last hen is ''out
| of sight"
