The farmer Is often at a loss to
know how much his milk is worth
for butter-making and whether it
would pay him better to sell the

A Michigan farmer was killed in a
very remarka bic manner while shear
ing a sheep. The animal gave a kick
which drove the shears he was hold
ing in his hand so that the point
pierced the juguIar vein. He bled to
death before help came. We think
this case is without precedent. The
farmer must have been inexperienced
in the work of sheering, for had he
not been the shears would not have
been held in a position to make such
an accident possible Exchange.

POULTRY KEEPING INVOLV YES
WORK.

1t is undoubtedly the fact that
many people tired of the humdrum
of their daily toll take to keeping
poultry, with the idea that except
a little labor in feeding two or three
times a day they will have nothing
to do. Whoever so begins will sure
" fail. There is constant care re-
quired, and if incubators are used
the manager must be prepared to get
up in the night to see that the tenn
perature is right. Then, too, the
poultry house must be cleaned
daily, and, though this is short
job, it is a dirty and disagreed bic
one, that is apt to be neglected. The
only people who succeed with
poultry are those who make up their
minds to work as hard in it as they
would in any other business.

Some Virtue in colored Glass.

1t is not many years ago since the
blue glass craze was general, and every
one was fixing blue glass in his, house
windows in order to prolong his days
and increase his happiness. Like every
other craze that is overdone, blue glass
soon became drug in the market, but
it is more than probable that there was
just a grain of common sense in the
idiocy. Recent experiments show that
in certain diseases tinted light has a
great effect We all know how rapidly
sore eyes will mend under the influence
of natural green. and it is now stated
that any kind of rash disease is bene-
fitted by red tint produced by glass of
that color being placed in the windows.
Every one knows that 4 good deal of
comfort can be obtained from a sub
dued light, and after Il while people
generally will appreciate the value Of
colored glass; even if it does not prove
to have any actual remedial influence

WHIST FIGURES.
Comparison of the American and
English System of Playing.

Comparison of the American and
English, System of Playing.
There are two recognized systems,
the English and the American. In
English whist the game is five points
and honors-ace, king, queen and knave
of the trump suit-are counted. In
American whist the game is still five
points, but the honors are not counted.
The old English game-long whist
consisted of ten points with honors
counted. American whist is not the
same as American leads; these leads
can be played by individual players,
whatever the game may be. Richard
A. Proctor has written a book on How
to Play Whist" He has also contrib
uted articles to various magazines on
the subject of chances in card games.
He calculates that there We're no less
than $50, 013 ,5j9, 600 ways of making a

A USEFUL HINT.

One truth man is sure TO learn
Before he gets to be
SO gray and bent that every one
His age can plainly see.
He gets it beaten into him,
BY Oft-repeated shocks;
You cannot always judge cigars
BY the pictures on the box.
The picture may impress you as
The best you ever saw,
And yet you can't smoke the cigars,
Because they will not draw;
Or else their rankness fills the air,
And your enjoyment blocks.
Oh, no you cannot judge cigars
BY the pictures on the boz.
And so it is with people whom
You meet from day to day;
The ones who wear the finest clothes
Are sometimes common clay.
So think Of this, and save yourself
From most unpleasant knocks;
And never try to judge cigars
BY the pictures on the box.

FROG FARMING.
The Nature and Profits of the Bust

The Nature and Profits of the Busi-

A great many people are familiar
with methods Of raising successful
crops on farms that are under cult

profitable investments in crops raised
under water. Nat Wetzel Of Kansas
City, who is at the Paxton, is an au-

natural lake." said Mr.. Wetzel. '"The
great trouble with frog raisers is their
desire to make the lakes too pictur-
esque. A plain, every day body of wa
ter, without Improvements is the best.
I have one frog farm Of fifteen acres
in Missouri 1t was originally stocked
with 1900 frogs for breeding purposes,
and the results were most gratifying.
Frogs should be four years old for
breeding. Put them in the farm in
the spring and you will find a/crop Of
young frogs in the fall. The frogs Of
the first crop are not ready for the mar
ket until they are one year old. These
frogs are caught and their legs sold
as an epicllrean delicacy at prices rang
ing from 6 cents to S1.5O per dozen.
The increase in demand for frog legs
has made farming of this kind popular
and profitable. There are many ways
to catch the frogs for the market. Some
spear them, and others use target rifles
with success, but the best method is
to bait hooks with a piece Of red flan-
mel. Frogs are fond of red, and grab
it wherever they see it.
"Frogs have more sagacity than they
ere credited with possessing. I fir My
believe that they have q language and
it would be good idea for Prof. Gar
