THE FARMING WORLD.
SPECIAL FARMING.

eoune Thtngs Which the Average AgrAe
ealtasist should C0asidsR.
One of the most serious objections to
special farming is the difficulty in
maintaining the fertility without either
purchasing foods or fertilizers 1t is y
well-settled fact that any system OF
farming that does not return to the
land in proper quantities those constit-
ueuts of plant food that are drawn
from It by such system, must, in the
long run. be . ruinous one.
If situated where food or fertilizers
can be secured at = price that it will
pay to purchase and use, special farm
ing can often be made very profitable
But in this the conditions must be IA
vorable Soil. climate and market
must be favorable. The natural capac-
ity Of the sol, must be considered. 1t
special fertilizers are used one must
understand the nature Of the soil and
of plant growth in order to use them to
. good advantage.
Nearly all local markets are easily
overstocked- and unless convenient to
q general market prices will usually get
low. The kind of product must deter
mine this. Some products will bear
transportation much better than 9TH
ers. Generally the more condensed
and the less perishable tho better they
will bear transportation.
is true that in some cases . special
line of customers can be secured that
will consume all Of the product We can
get ready for market, but this is the
exception. and one must be reasonably
sure of them before undertaking .
special line of any extent The natural
tendency of special farming is to grad
ual exhaustion of the fertility, al
though the results may not be seen for
some time. depending somewhat upon
the condition or amount of the fertility
of the soil But with ordinary man
agement the effect is sure to show eth
er early or late.
Dairy farming is often followed with
profit, but ordinarily this means the
purchase and use of more or less mill
feed. Gardening or truck farming is
followed with profit. but this means
the purchase and use of more or less ma
nure as fertilizer. Both require good
and reasonably convenient markets
to he most profitable General farming
admits Of better opportunities for keep
ing up the fertility and of taking ad-
vantage of the markets and. under
average conditions, of making most
profit Farmer.

"YounR Mr.. Merrick had given me

Merrick. and that the money was never

How - Get Them and How t. Retais
Them.
A great deal of useless nonsense is
being written every day about the com.
plexion. and never were there so many
INSCRIPTIONS women advertising OBJ.
noxious nostrums for sale for ''beau.
tifying" the skin as now. Outside ap-
plications do the skin very little good
unless the general system is in good
condition. English women, who in
varia bly, have lovely complexions, are
notoriously fond of outdoor exercise,
Of games, rides and walks, and the
woman who did without her morning
tub would think she were q woman &C.
centric to say the least.
The blood must be in good condition
6rst: If it is thin, too rich or in a dis
eased state 1t will cvincc itsstate in the
complexion. Indigestion-not only the
kind which you feel by opprcssiveness
and pains, but any kind at all-will
make you regret you ate that fine, rich
sandy and the tarts which were 50
rood and from which you experienced
no unpleasant after-effects- But they
had their effect, nevertheless, and you
need not declare you can not account
for blcmishes on your rose-leaf skin
after eating pastry and sweet dainties-
A typical days regimen for the girl
with the velvet skin is here given:
Rise at and after warm
bath and a cold sponge and =
brisk Soweling wash the face in
water in which has been dropped a little
tincture Of benzoin. At breakfast she
eats fruits, grapes or mangoes. and as
much rs she can, and eats oatmeal,
eRRs or meat. Brown bread takes the
place of hot rolls, and she drinks cocoa
Of milk instead of tea or coffee. After
breakfast she takes . walk, . brisk,
long walk with loose waist and light,
warm coat and well-ftting easy shoes.
At lunch she drinks more milk and
fruit and brown bread, and in the at
ternoon, il she is q fortunate girl, she
takes her riding or swimming lesson.
Her dinner always includes soup. oeef,
vegetables and salad. and her dessert
is more often fruit, jelly or cornstarch
pudding rather than pie or cake. Be-
fore going to bed she washes her face
in hot water and soap, rubs In little
sold cream and retires early.-N. Y.

CHICKEN seHEAoER.

the Barnyard
A device for sevcring the head from
the body of = chicken by simply pull.
ing . trigger. without torturipg the
chicken or trying the nerves Of the
sensitive, has been patented Tho
barrel of the implem ent, says the Scieu-
tific American, incascs . handspring,
and at its rear end is clamped by .
breach block having upwardly extend
ing hanges. forming guides for tho
knife. the flanges being recessed in the
center to afford space for placing the
neck of the chicken. and the beheadin2
knife sliding across this space between
the danQex
The knife is inclined, and its lower
end slides in slot to the top of the
barrel. where it 10 secured to , sliding
plunger. to which one end Of the main
spring il attached. the other end Of the
spring being secured to the barrel In
the front end Of the barrel is cushion.
against which the extended shank Of
the plunger strikes, absorbing shock
and limiting the forward movement Of
the plunger and knife. The plunger
and knife are pulled back sgainst tho
tension of the spring by handles on the
sides of the plunger, the handles pro-
jecting through side elots in the brcech
block and barrel.
A notch in the bottom of the plunger
receives pawl on the front end Of tho
curved trigger, by which the knife and
plunger are held in q rearmost posi-
tion when the device is to be used. A
depending hook or fisnge on the frons
end Of the barrel may be hooked upon
some object to facilitate pulling back
the plunger. or to steady the implement
when it is used. When the neck Of the
chicken is placed in the space provided
therefor. and the trigger is pulled, thu
plunger is instantly released and the
knife drawn rapidly forward. the cut
being effected with certainty, neatness
and dispatch.

The fat and fatherly man seized the
anxious inquirer after Thompson and
jammed him against the depot with
terrific force. Then he whirled him
around and cuffcd him twice. Then
he Strengthened him up and booted
him five boots and yelled after him:
''You drunken old loafer, but If you
even look at me again I'll break every

While old benign was cooling off on
