 Figure out the difference in the cost of growing a good colt and poor one and you will conclude that scrubs are quite expensive.
 Because you have pure-bred stock is no reason for thinking that there Is no room for further improvement. It should be understood that there is practically no limit to improvement.
 By feeding on the farm the various products grown, and sending to market on the hoof, a much larger quantity of fertilizer is left for the land than tho crop has extracted from it.
 Dogs, as rule, are a nuisance on the farm, but If you must have one take little pains to have good one. As with other animals it costs no moro to keep good one than a poor one.
 Wheat bran. middlings and rye make Q good feed for growing pigs. If the rye cannot be readily secured oats can be used instead. They can be ma- terially increased in value if they are ground.

Diversified Farming.

Diversity l. healthy in all things. The individual who runs entirely to one special object may become spe- cialist, and may possibly excel in one particular walk of life, and the partic- ular vocation chosen may yield him a handsome return. There are. how ever, but few Edisons in their way in any walk of life A Beecher could and a Talmage may fill churches or taber- nacles. yet the ma. ority of preachers are about as dry in their utterances as they generally are in their finances and luSuries, and to them diversity is q per feet God send, The old sermon, with . new face. can be and is furnished up to pass muster on many different occa- sions.
 With farmers the diversity that suits them is of a different nature. Their stock in trade cannot be carried about in mouldy manuscript, neither can the improvements, made to one field, be transferred at will to another, yet di- versihcation can be so COS nopohtan in It's ramifcations as to h.cld in one harmonious whole. 10 the material benefit of the farmer Diversified farming win undoubtedly yield a surer and safer return to the ordinary farmer than special farming yet the farmer himself should be the best judge of his own varietics. Climate has fully as much to do with general surroundings as soil. Sorghum and bects may be madc to yield big returns where q corn crop might be a failure. or clover fail to get up decent stand. Again it may be folly in some districts to devote much time to anything else than raising cattle or sheep. Each locality has, by the laws of nature, and the trend of civilization, an adaptability to some lines of husbandry, and is unsuited to , others. The husbandman's safest course is to be well informed on the possibilities of his soil, and diversity his operation as the climatic conditions safely justify. Indicator

NtOck and Farm Nntes.

The sleeping quarters of the pigs must be dry.
 Avoid under-feeding as we'll as over l feeding.
 A patch of rye makes a good pas tuie for ewes with lambs. 1 It is not a good plan to use fresh, coarse manure in the potato patch. Bran, oilmeal and middlings, scaled, make q good feed for the laying hens.
 So far as it is possible the most profitable plan with stock is to feed them to maturity.
 Speciality in fruit growing can often be made very profitable, but the quail ty must be of the very best. A scrub sire. crossed or bred with grades or even pure-breds, will grad ually tend toward the scrub.
 Bran contains less oil and more bone material than cornmeal and Is better for growing stock. Pedigrees that are merely lists of names of progenitors are of no value as evidences of individual merit. Sheep manure contains q good per- centage of nitrogen in an available form, and hence is valuable fertilizer. Good grade draft horses cannot be excelled for doing the necessary farm work, while they also sell readily at good prices.
 In addition to farming, a good sys- tern of rotation and variety of crops. enables the farmer to make up better variety of feed for his stock.
 One advantage with rye is that it will grow on thin land, can be pastured at any stage of its growth. or be turned under as green manure with benefit.
 In feeding for growth, vigor is an important item. and tho quality of the

Oranges.

A Florida paper that ought to know says there are ''over thirty three" va- rieties of sweet oranges, not to mention the natural stock" which is the larger and handsoner fruit than the sweet orange, and it is excellent for orange,.de and marmalade, but, being very sour, is seldom shipped north The medium sizes are apt to be the choicest and probably the very sweetest orange that is marketed Is tha rusty coated and rather ill-looking orange, which might be considered inferior by an amateur" Further more: "The way to test oranges is to theft them in your hands; pick ouA the thin skinned, heavy fruit and yOar will be all right" The lightweighs fruit is apt to be 1Siceless. a condition caused either by slight freezing while on the trees, or more probably by the poverty of the soil In whicn T grew.

Care of tho Hands,

There arc not nearly IS many secrets in hand treatment as people imagine. A little ammonia or borax in the sater you wash with and that water just lukewarm will keep the skin clear and soft. A little oat meal mixed with the water will whiten the hands. Many peo- pie use glycerine on their hands when they go to bed. wearing gloves to keep their bedding clean. but glycerine does not agree with every one. 1t makes some skins harsh and red. These people should rub their hands with dry oat meal and wear gloves in bed. Tine best preparation for the handa at night is white of an e-g with grain of alum dissolved init. Quacks have fancy name for 1t, but all can make 1t. They also make the Roman toilet paste. It Is merely the white of an esg barley four and honey. They say It WAS used by the Romans in olden times At any rate, 1t is first rate thing; but it is sticky. and does not do the work any better than oat meal. The toughest and hardest hands can be made soft and white in the space of month by doctoring them little at bed time; and all tools you need are nail brush, a bottle of amonia, box of powdered borax and little fine white sand to rub the stains of. or a cut of lemon. which will do even better, for the acid of the lemon will clean anything.

The Kind Word,

Do VIC ever need a reminder, in our hurried lives, of the grace that lies in the kindly spoken word? It may be as we pass a friend in a crowded shop, or nod to her as we hasten by her door on our morning walk to themar- ket or the ferry, that we utter the gentle greeting, leave behind us the flash of the happy smile, and brighten 2 day that was perhaps overcast. Kindness costs little. Why should We not be lavish of it in world where nobody stands alone, but where rich and poor, sad and glad, lofty and low ly, and are bound in one bundle

Shopping or Knitting Bag.

A shopping or knitting bag is some thing the use Sf which will soon prove it's value. Seven-eighths of yard of plain tinted satin, twenty inches wide. will be needed for tho foundation oi the bag. The center square is oi stir canvas or buckranl, covered with plush or silk, with embroidered bands or an arobesque done in outline. This is stitched to the center of the satin foundation. The bag is lined with thin silk, or 1t may be left without lining and joined Tt the sides with a drawn cord effect. The hems are deeply turned at the top, and easing for double ribbons put in to draw the whole together. For a shopping bag, the colors should be dark brown or gray embroidered with yellow silk and gold thread. An open cavas for the square to be worked with cross stitch, can be bought at the art stores, and also small leather handles, or straps, which are fastened to the canvas. The bag should be made a good size, or iu loses it's purpose, as the receptacle for the nanylittle pack ages that accumulate in shopping tour, to small to be sent, but with a provoking habit of slipping away without notice. In n work bag the colors can be brighter. Gold satin, with q center piece of tho oblong Turk ish pieces, richly embroidered on Turkish canvas or blue, with the Ori- ental squares in blue and pink are beautiful combinations.

 The Woman Who Pieases
 "She knows just how to talk to all kinds and conditions ofmen," was the recommendation given for a bright woman who makes her living as much by her ability to please us as by her actual labors, says the New York World. Seeing that woman after wards, and observing her closely, one could not but be impressed with the truth of what had been said. She was gay with the gay, silent when any one else wanted to talk. talkative with the shy, always good tempered, never too animated, and never, never visibly in pain nor in tears. She was always charming. bright. sympathetic and sweet. She was witty, too, but not terribly so. She kept her wit to slu- mine conversation and to tighten dull spirits; not to burn hearts, nor scorch sensitive feeling. Every body went from her presence feeling comfortable in spirit and with reasonably satisfied hearts. She was a peacemaker and courAge-strcngthener. There are two CT thrss d0xen of such women in the

ROASTING M'wHoRTER.
Postmaster McWhorter. of this city,
is just now receiving a good deal Of Sc
we're criticism from members OF his own
party for his action in removing Steele
A. Hawkins from the position of janltor
at the post Office for purely personal
reasons. Steele has always been one Of
the hardest workers in the Republican
party In this end of the State, devoting
his entire time to his party and making
q business OF politics. To him, proba-
bly,, as much as to any other man in
this county is his party indebted for its
success here, and the only recognition
he has ever had at his party's hands,
with the exception of the few weeks
when he was Sergeant-at-Arms Of the
Senate, was the appointment by Mar
W
the Custom House here, as janitor OF
the building. This position he has ever
since acceptably fillen until last Sun
day, when he was OuSted by Mr.. Nc
Whorter without word OF warning,
and superseded by a man who has never
been an active worker at all. Not u
word of complaint was ever made
against Hawkins, in fact McWhOrter
made several attemps TO have
complaints lodged against him in
order that he might have grounds for
his dismissal, but could find no one who
was willing 10 make complaint and
finally acted without any. The expla-
nation lies in the fact that Hawkins de-
feated McWhorter at the last State
meeting of Republican clubs for the
position of delegate TO the National
convention OF clubs, and again at the
last Kanawha county convention assist
ed in defeating McWorter for the nomi-
nation for Judge OF the Criminal Court.
As soon as McWhorter accidently
slipped into the pOstmasterShip and got
Hawkins in his power, he determined to
have his revenge and removed Hawkins
purely out of personal dislike.
His action in so doing has met with
the hearty diSapproval of most of the
Republicans here. One member OF the
party in high standing looks upon the
act as one of cruelty. He says that to
turn Hawkins out OF work at the be-
ginning of winter with a family OF
small children 10 care for, without Civ
ing him a word of wyrning as to what
he was going to do, with no complaints
having been made, and at a time when
Hawkins, who is painter, can find
nothing to do at his trade, is an act OF
cruelty. McWhorter has evidently made
big blunder.

THE HAWAIIAN TREATY.
DR.. Mott Smith Here to Secure Modifca-
tions of the Document.

WASHINGTON, d. c., November s.
DR.. Mott Smith, Minister Of Finance OF
Hawaii, who is on special Emission to
this Government, arrived In Washing
ton to-day from New York, accompanied
by Mr.. c. X. Bishop, of Honolulu, who
is an ex-member of the Cabinet and
president of the Board Of Education.
DR.. Smith called on Secretary Blaine
this morning. His special mission Is TO
secure some notifications OF the reci-
procty treaty now In force, between
this country and Hawaii, the operations
OF which, so far as Hawaii Is concern
ed, have been serious affected by the
operations of the new United States
tariff law. As this law grants bounty
to produceas OF. sugar In this country,
the benefits heretofore reaped by the
Hawaiian producers from the free ad-
mission Of their sugar into the United
States under the provisions OF the treaty
are negatived.
DR.. Smith will also call to the atten-
tion of Secretary Blaine the matter OF
cable between the United States and
Honolulu. The Government OF Hawaii,
he says, is ready to pay subsidy to
any company establishing a cable line
between the two countries.
DR.. Smith, who had been absent from
Honolulu for some years, returned there
only short time before he was dele
gated to come to the United States on
his special mission. He found that the
desire for annexation TO the United
States had grown greatly during his
absence. The feeling he thinks, how
ever, is based more upon wish TO par
ticipate in the commercial benefits to be
derived therefrom than from any hope
of political aggrandizement.
In regard to the reports OF the serious
Illness OF Queen Lilluokalani, DIR. Smith
pronounced them as ''all humbugs."
The Queen has now turned fifty years
of age. She has never been seriously
ILL in her life, and now suffers only from
colds or other slight indispositions Incl
dent to persons of her age. The Queen.
the doctor explained, is often confounded
with the Queen Dowager, who recently
suffered from stroke OF paralysis.
