TO act upon them.
A very pleasant affair indeed was the
"Jld Folks Ball." which took place at
Dubois a. Gays hall last Tuesday evening.
About 60 couples were present, few OF
the guests from out OF town being Mr.. and
Mrs. Geo. Peck, Mr.. and Mrs. Don Blake
of st. Adams, MIR. and Mrs. w. G. C1sh-

Mrs. Martin Washburn of Alaska. Many
Others from abroad, whose names we were
unable to get, were present. The grand
march and circle, which commenced at
about half past eight, was led by Mr.. and
Mrs. A. Il. Lane, and the first figure,
"French Four" by Geo. S. Moulton and
wife and Mr.. and Mrs. Dana Chadwick.
The "old folksn put in some veryfine steps,
cut pigeon wings and capered about with
so much agility and grace as to make one
think that they must have found the ia
bled fountain OF youth. The figures were
mostly quadrilleJ with, now and then,
such old-fashioned dances as the Virginia
Reel, Money Musk, HulI's Victory and the
Fishers HorDpipe. Elegant refreshments
we're served by Landlord Battles of the
Red Lion Inn, after which the merry dance
went on.
The business done at the West Randolph
station shows an increase over that OF pre-
vious years, although the U. S. Screen Co.,
which does a great amount of business
with the railroad, was in operation but a
short time. The following is a brief state

The Senator's Queer Mistake.

There is funny story told in the
senate of the mistake made by
member of that body at the time of
General Arson McCook's marriage
some-half dozen years ago. Senator
Dolph undertook to get up a sub
scripticn for a suitable wedding pres
ent, and, offering the paper to one
of his colleagues who was somewhat
deaf, explained the case and asked
for what amount he might put his
name down in the list. The senator
from Oregon was somewhat non
plussed and considerably nettled to
meet with a point-blank refusal. The
affair was the more inexplicable as
the senator Of whom the contribution
was desired was known to be warm
personal friend of General McCook.
Later in the day the situation was
unconsciously explained by the Of
Tending senator, who remarked to a
group 81 his friends: ..What the
deuce do you suppose Dolph means?
He came to me to-day, and after tell
ing me that his cook was going to be
married actually asked me to con-
tribute for wedding present y

Breeding Two-Tailed Goldfish.

It is the general belief of many
leading ichthologists that the gold
fish really belongs to no genera or
species; in fact, they believe it to be
a monster, brought about through
breeding. This belief has been
strengthened by the fact that it is
now well known that the ingenious
Celestial has actually bred a whole
colony of goldfish, each having two
well-developed tails and two sets OF
anal fins. Biologists of national rep
utation in this country say that it
would be equally as easy a task to
breed quadrupeds with eight legs.

Farm MACHINERY.

AS rule sufficient machinery
should be on the farm to do the
necessary work economically and
we'll On the average farm anything
that saves time and labor will as a
rule prove economical. Yet on the
average farm there is too much capt.
tai invested in machinery. Not that
much of it saves time and labor, but
considering the acreage and all, there
is too much. Machinery is discarded,
not because it is worn out or is not
needed, but something else has come
along that is an improvement in
some ways, and it is purchased while
that on hand is discarded. This in
creases the cost of keeping up the
farm very materially. There is no
advantage, when it can be avoided,
in working with dull. worn out tools,
neither is it good economy to throw
away good tools and purchase new
simply to get a 'slight improvement
that in many respects will be no saw
ing. Buy what machinery is needed
to do the farm work to the best aG-
vantage and buy the best and then
take good care Of them, but do not
buy an implement or tool when it is
not needed simply because it is new.
There are plenty Of tools thrown
aside that for the average work on the
farm will do all that is necessary, so
that the discarding of them and the
purchasing of something new is prac-
tically waste. I sometimes think
that if the farmer would make it a
rule to pay cash for all his machinery
there will be less purchases made OF
machinery that is not needed, as it is
often the long credit given that in
! duces the purchase, and yet in many
| cases it is quite an advantage to be
able to purchase needed machinery
on credit, but it is too often carried
| to such an extent as to be detriment.
II good judgment is used, good
| machinery can be made a profitable
Investment, but in many cases il
proves serious loss because it was
not needed, and the average farmer
cannot afford to purchase implements
that are not needed, even though he
can purchase on a long credit. Pay
ing interest in< the wear and tear o
an implement makes it SO that a con
siderable saving must be made il
order to make the investment profit
able, and when good serviceable
tool is thrown aside to make room

Good Onion CrO,,.

With five OF ten acres Of good onion.
land properly cultivated one ought to
make a good thing Of it, as prices for
onions now go. There is probably no
vegetable that has been so greatly
improved in recent years by better
cultivation than the onion, and the
yield per acre has been increased very
much. Formerly if a farmer gathered
700 or 800 bushels of onions from an
acre he was considered as one that
was doing we'll. But to-day that far
mer would be called careless and un-
progressive. One Thousand bushels to
the acre is too little. A larger
crop should be the ultimate goal for
every one, and has been raised
in more than one instance, says
the American Cultivator. With
such a yield the profits per
acre are large enough to make it
pay one to devote all of his time to
the cultivation of five or ten acres of
land
+ But to raise 1920 to 1900 bush
els per acre one must enter into a
contract to work and to give the
highest cultivation. Our progressive
onion growers have carried the art
of fertilizing to perfect condition,
and the rich land is never stinted.
10 get onion land in proper condition
for yielding these big crops about
fifty tons Of barnyard manure should
be applied to the acre the first year.
Fork this over and mix with the soil.
Add half ton of fine bone meal, and
have that incorp grated thorough
ly with the soil. Plow this
fertilizer under and then scatter
broadcast over the plowed field 500
pounds of dissolved bone and about
seventy-five bushels of un-
leached ashes to the acre.
After all of this heavy fertiliz-
ing the, ground needs good cultivat-
ing and pulverizing with the harrow.
Get the soil mellow and fine, and
make it just as smooth and nice
looking as the flower garden prepared
for small seeds. All of this is ex-
pensive work, but in the end the in
| creased yield per acre will more than
pay for it all.
Select good seeds; probably the
Prizetaker is as good as any onion
| for general field culture. Select only
| the best for the sets, and place them
about two and one-half to three inches
! apart in rows that are twelve inches
apart. Do this thoroughly, so that
every one will have d chance to grow
About every two weeks after this, ur
to three times, spread broadcast over
the field seventy five pounds Of
nitrate of soda to the acre. This
stimulates the onions and keeps then
growing rapidly. The hoes must be

Farm Notes.

= The ground should be broken rea-
should be shallow.
The wide-awake farmer is an ex-
perimenter. He leaves the beaten
track when he finds something better.
It is economy to keep plows, culti-
vators and harrows sharp. Besides
doing better work it is easier on the
teams.
A landscape architect of New York
says that the tulip tree stands at the
head of all native trees, not only as
ornamental, but as a clean tree; that
is, freedom from insects.
There is a tendency to plant; too
many acres. More acres sown to
grass, and fewer and better Guilt
waited acres Of corn would frequently
be better for many farmers. s.5-.
Don't allow the expenditures to ex-
coed the income. Keep accounts and
determine to lay up a surplus each
year.. no matter if it is small It is
better than falling behind that>much.
Don't allow the weeds to get the
start Of the corn or other crops. II
the ground is we'll pulverized before
planting and kept pulverized the
weeds can be kept down much more
easily.
| The boys on the farm should be
given strip of land for their own
use, and should be allowed to have
all the money the crop sells for,
| This would make them happy, and
contented.
According to the department of ag-
riculture more wheat IS now grow
in the two Dakotas than was produced
in the whole United States fifty
i years ago, and it is claimed that the
yield per acre of old lands is increas
ing while that Of new lands is de
creasing.
A writer says that if our farmer.
would cultivate less land and manure
it more highly, work it better, ant
!. plant the best seed, they would make
more money. As a writer has said
and truly, .tfarmors are governed to-

meeting Of the church was appointed

meeting Of the church was appointed
for Thursday.
Poor Ridewell was almost crazy
with vexation, but before Thursday
came, Pompey found out how matters
stood, and he assured his master that
he would clear the matter up; and
after a days search, he discovered
the astounding fact shat some of
those wicked men had been in the
habit Of stealing old Morgan from
the pasture, and racing him on Sab
bath afternoons! Pomp found out
this much-but he could not find who
did it!''
AS soon as this became known to
the church, the members conferred
together, and they soon concluded
that under such circumstances a high
mettled horse would be very apt to
run away with mis- rider when he
found himself directly upon the track.
So Parson Ridewell was cleared,
but it was a long while before he got
over the blow, for many were. the
wicked wags who delighted to poster
him by offering to ''ride a race" with
him, to ssbet on his head" or~to ..put
him against the world on a race. y
But Ridewen grew older, his heart
grew warmer, and finally he could
laugh with right good will when he
spoke of his unexpected race. Be

Cousins Were Numerous Once.
The question has been raised in
newspapers throughout the country,
whether cousin was used in the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries
for nephew or niece. Professor.
Rolfe, of Harvard, the Shakespeat,-,
can commentator, says s:that Shake
speare applies it at least nine times
to a nephew, seven times to a niece,
twice to an uncle, once to a. brother
in-lawe and four times to- a grand
child. He also uses it eight times as
a title given by princes to- other
princes and noblemen, In Much
ADO i, 2, 25, where Leonato says:
Cousins, you know what you have to
do, it is. used loosely for relatives in

evidently equivalent TO, kinswoman.
A good example of its application to
a niece is in *As You Like it, i, 3,
