Why Men Defer Maria eas.

The habits Of modern young men
are antagonistic to that prudence and
preparation which make 1t possible
for them to marry at twenty-five,
writes John Lambert Payne in az cx-
haustiVe article upon this important
question in the Ladies' Home Jour
nal. There are many exceptions, of
course, but it may be safely said that
O vast number Of the young men who
live in our time I'll their spare hours
with exhaustive luzsrics. 1t cost;
them great deal to dress, and still
more to keep Up theta social engage
neDts. In score Cf ways they ac-
custom themselves to ways Of life
that leave no margin between income
and outgo. This having gone On IN
til they are twenty-five, it then Ills
for more resolution than many Of
them command to begin the sacrifices
which accompany the saving Of
money. Without money they cannot
marry Not few greatly cyaggcrate
what it should take two sensible peO-
PIE to begin life On, and hastily con
cludc that it would be impossible. on
an income Of $1,000, to start IN COM
fort. So they put of marriage until
after thirty, or do net marry at ali,
and it is we'll that such men should
remain single. y M sl4ee coming geuer-

Ifyou want the best food, you will be interested
III the following facts, which show why "Royal"
is the best baking POWDER why it makes the best
and most wholesome food, and why its use has
become almost universal-its sale greater in this
country than the sale Of all other Of tartar
baking powders combined.
1no Royal Baking Powder NEVER fails.
It is absolutely pure and wholesome.
It is combined from the EoosS approved
and flcaltilful ingredients.
It makes tho finest 1lavofod, most tender,
delicious and wholesome food.
It has greater leavening strength than
any other baking powder, and is therefore
the cheapest.
Z never loses its strength, but will ikeeE,
used.
It acts slowly in tlao dough, SO that none
of it's strength, is lost before the baking Is
completed.
Il makes food that will keep sweet, moist
and fresh longer, OF that may lie eaten hot
and fresh with i7,:2,znity.
The reasons why the Royal Baking Powder is
superior to all Others in these respects ere easily
stated One is because It is made from chemically
pure materias another IS because it is made with
greater care and accuracy than any other. It is
always uniform in composition and leavening
power. 1t has been the standard baking powder
since its introduction. The founder and con-
ductor Of its business ever since is still Ct
the head Of It's management. Thus ell the

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES,

Do not leave the turnlps out too long
If you buy an incubator get good
one.
Give the hens chopped onions occa-
sionally.
Clean up, whitewash and get the hen.
house ready.
All breeds of fowls have certain points
in their favor.
Do not try to winter more hens than
you can care for we'll.
From now on until spring early and
late feeding should be the rule.
Arrange convenient drinking vessels
for the fowls during the winter.
Fruit trees planted in the fall should
have the earth we'll frmel about them.
It is important to have the floor of the
| duck and geese quarters dry in winter.
cle.r. up the oooPs and give 4 dose OF
coal oil before putting away for the sea-
son.
One of the best ways of securing dry
ness under foot is by using dry earth on
the floor.
Dressed poultry should always bs
thoroughly cooled out before packing
for market.
See that there are no cracks in the
hen house through which draughts can
strike the fowls.
By watching the fowls for the first
appearance of cold and curing it Group
may be prevented.
When the fowls must stay in the house,
scatter the grains among straw or litter
to give them exercise.
For swelled heads wash clean with
warm water and then annoint the whole
head with glycerine.
Considerable care must be taken to
prevent the eggs from getting chilled,
if they are to be hatchcd in an incu.
bator.
While less range is needed during the
winter than In sumner, at the same time
1t is usually best to give the fowls every
opportunity to exercise.
If plenty of clover is given to the
poultry there will be much less necessity
for supplying lime, as there is consider
able lime in the composition of clover.
A good roadster or a good draught
horse need never be sold at a price that
will not pay good profit above cost of
production. Buyers are always looking
tor them.
A dairyman of some repute says that
be finds beets far inferior to silage as
feed, and for the butter maker the silage
will give the butter pleasing flavor
that cannot be secured from beets.
The corn plant is almost tropical In
its habit, requiring abundant heat aud
moisture. For the former we are de-
pendent upon the weather. The latter
we can control to considerable extent
by proper drainage and cultivation.
The farmer is a manufacturer who is
steadily transforming raw material into
merchantable products. Tue raw mate
rial Is primarily the plant food In the
soil. A good output cannot be main
tanned unless this supply Is kept up.
A good plownan must study the pr;n-
ciples of mechanics. He should know,
for instance, that in hitching the plow,
the shorter the hitch the lighter the
drausht, provided tho hitch is not SO
short as to make the plow run On its
heel.
The English farmer recognizes the fact
that corn is not good food for growing
ANIMALS. AS result of this he has &
staple food composed of beans and oats
ground together. This piece of news
may be of some use to the American
farmer.

LINE FOR THE HESBoUsE,

Lime should be frequently sprinkled
about henhouse; it should also be used
In conjunction with carbolic acid, both
being deoderizers, purifying the air and
exterminating vermin quickly from the
premises. The runs should be sprinkled
with strong solution of sulphuric acid,
and you need feel no fear of cholera or
many other diseases which poultry are
from time to time troubled with. New

THE NORTHWESTERN sWINDLE.

A New York dispatch Of the 18th,
touches up the Northwestern Guar
antv and Loan Company matter in
this way;
A special giving an expose of the fail
ure Of the Northwestern Guaranty Loan
Company, says: Therecevers were con-
fdent that the losses to the creditors
would be slight but when they come to
look into the matter they were dumb
founded. They looked upon the build
ing as an asset The receiver was in
formed that the Northwestern Guar
anty Loan Company did not have a
particle of equity in the building. 1t
was the property of the Northwestern
Loan Building Company, separate
corporation. The transfer had been
made more than year, but the con-
veyance was recorded only the day be-
fore the failure.
Directly after the announcement OF the
appointment of the receiver attorneys
in Minneapolis began to receive notes
from all over the country for collection.
The lawyers hustled about to find the
makers Of these notes. They could not
find them, for the most part. Out OF 60
makers of notes which came to one Min
neapolis firm of lawyers alone, they
were able to find but four men.
The greatest sufferers are in Vermont.
The little town of st. Johnsbury, VT.
alone holds $250000 worth Of the COM
pany's bad paper and worthless stock.
In Vermont $750,000 worth was placed,
nearly all Of it by Mr.. Streeter.
Menage never spent it on his family,
for he lived in a modest house in a
modest way.
When the storm burst Menage went to
a trusty employee in Chicago and the
latter got him out of the country to
Chill. There this man may utilize the
millions secured by fraud. A few days
ago his wife sold her things, changed
smaller bills by the dozen into thousand
dollar bills, and with her daughter left
for parts unknown.
sTREETER ARRESTED.
A Minneapolis dispatch of Tuesday
announces the arrest of w. S. Street
er, vice president and genera manager
Of the Guaranty Loan Company,
and says it caused sensation in
local circles. The complaint rs based
on the wrong, wilful, unla wful and
felonious declaration of dividends by
said Streeter, with intention to de.
ceive the public in regard to the
means and liabilities of the company
Streeter gave bail in the sum o.
$4,000. 1t is said that all officers Of
the company who were present wher
the dividend referred to was declared
will be indicted.
Bail was furnished by the mayor o
Minneapolis and George H. Fletcher
of New York.

such a building provided as will
obviate the crowding of the coops
and enable spectators to look the
birds over without feeling that they

its quarters, and it's Importance de-
