"a Business Man, as 10 Rents.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Referring to the article in your paper
of last evening advocating cheaper rents,
over the signature Of "A Business Wo-
man." please allow me, through the coll
umns of your paper. to ask her (being a
business man MYSELF, with all due polite
ness to the lady, why she does not apply
business remedies 10 her case by moving
into cheaper property, or moving outright
to Dundee, Scotland. where she can do
not as the Romans do. but as the Scotch
do in regard to business, expense and
everything else. You can't do American
business under Dundee expenses. Probably
the ground on which the building stands,
was not bought, or was the building erect
ed, nor are municipal expenses at Dun

ever to do with the fact that her business
is not worth one-half tc her what IL was
worth six years ago. If, as she states she
was able TO pay her rent promptly six
years ago. and her business was worth
double to her, II speaks well for protec-
ton, and IL with the Gear of free trade be-
fore the eyes of the American public her
business is not worth one-half to her, and
she finds 1t hard to pay her rent now,

will not be able tc pay rent ever so slow

another tenant; or maybe Business Wo-

do business. would expect landlord to still
allow her to occupy premises for nothing.
This is the logical deduction, only carrying
the subject a little further. / am slightly

Clothes for the Seaside.

A writer in Womankind for August
says concerning clothes for the seaside;
Il can say that it is best to take what
you have got. 1t does not make very
much difference for you will always be
dressed better than somebody and
worse than other people. Then some
women seem to have a better time in
a duck suit and in u sailor hat than
does the woman who trails several
yards of silk after her and tears the
lace on the rough boards Of the beach
wall with cool expectations. The shirt
waist is with us all. 1t is, with the
sailor hat the nearest approach to mas
culinc comfort of apparel women have
ever had, and how they cling to it! The
shirt waist is much worn at the sea
side. 1t is seen morning, noon and
night. The most acceptable are those
made with a yoke, turnover collar and
cuffs, such as have the standard makes
in the best dry goods stores. With q
good dark skirt, Il stout belt and q
black satin tie. the world can be deied.
The hat is usually black or blue, the
sailors more often worn with the
evening dress the. veil should match
and the purchase of ten good stout hat
pins, long ones and tough ones at that
will not be regretted.

Some Farm Notes.

Rye sown in the corn will make good
late pasture for sheep.
Where the second growth of clover is
cut for seed handle it is as little as
possible before putting it through the
huller.
Glover intended to be used as a fer
tilizer is said to be of most value to
the soil if plowed under when in full
bloom.
The wool crop in some parts of the
West is said to be below the average
this year on account of the dry
weather.
Horses that can't "un to grass will
be greatly benefited by a walk in the
grass when wet with morning dew. 1t
is natures hoof oil.
The expense of a good duck cover for
a horse in stormy weather is not great.
and will save it's cost several times
each season in feed and comfort to the
animal.
Vegetation ceases when the winter
appears, but live stock increases i'll
weight during all seasons. For that
reason live stock should be a specially
on all farms.
Scarlet clover has failed on the light
soils of New Jersey, and it is doubtful
If it will fulfill all that has been
claimed for it except on soils that are
well adapted to red clover.
DO not overlook enSilage. One acre
of ensilage will enable the dairyman to
winter more cows than two acres of
any other food On the farm in proper
ton to cost of production.
Corn foods yory oIoco to tho e,,rfooo
and for that reason the soil should not
be cultivated in a manner to break the
roots toe much. Shallow cultivation,
just sufficient to keep the top soil loose,
should be practiced.
When COWS or mares have given good
results in breeding it will not be wise
to replace them by younger stock as
long as they prove reliable breeders.
Age does not depend on years but on
vigor.
Do not keep too many varieties of
stock. The farmer who has two or
three kinds of sheep or swine will find
the cost increased. The object should
be to have n kind and aim to make
it the best.
A potato digger will pay for itself in
a short time if an acre or more is to be
dug. Don't keep up with the old style
by digging with the hoe. Buy Il digger
for $12, hitch on the horse and rip
them up.
Common stock can be improved by
liberal feeding but the shortest road to
improvement is by grading up the
stock. a pure-bred mare will change
the character of the stock in n few
years. and her the feed will be ap-
piled more protitably.
' Farm implements and machinery
have done much toward raising our
agriculture to its present high grade.
But more than one farmer has been
kept poor by buying machinery that he
could not use with economy. Be sure
that the extent of your crop justifes
the purchase.

Hints.

Repeated applications of alcohol will
remove grass strains from any white
material. .
boiler of water will go a long way to-
ward whitening the clothes.
The simpler the appointment of a
dining room, the better. 1t is comfort
rather than show that is to be con.
sidered.
Covers should not be left on cooking
utensils when they are put away, as in
this way the fresh air IS kept out and
that which is shut in grows stale and
ill-smelling.
Ii you want to make clear, pretty
jelly select for the purpose fruit that is
not quite ripe and which is without sus-
picion of decay about it; jelly made of
overripe fruit is always slow to harden,
and will never be quite clear.
Very few housewives understand that
fruit in glass should be kept in the
dark. If you can not put fruit in a
dark closet wrap each in a piece of
brown paper. Canned fruit should be
kept moderately cool and at about the
same temperature all the time.
Steel knives or other articles which
have become rusty should be rubbed
with Il little sweet oil then left for a
day or two i'll a dry place, and then rub
bed with finely powdered unslacked
lime, until every veStige of the rust has
disappeared, and kept in a dry place
wrapped up in a bit of flannel.
A fashionable sandwich. called bohe-
milan is excellent. The filling consists
of cottage cheese, olives and Worcester
shire sauce, the proportions being one
dozen olives to one large ball of cheese,
and the sauce to taStr. Fit the olives
and chop them fine. then mix with the
cheese and seasoning.
Pitchers. bowls pans and other uten-
sis used for milk should have cold wa
ter stand in them for an hour or so,
then be washed in plenty of clean,
soapy water, be scalded with boiling
water. wiped dry and placed in the
open air and sun. If possible. Then
you may Ea sure they are clean and
sweet and fit to receive milk.

tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man

all percentages with incubators are.

REEDS


Overlooked by "a Ticket Agent, Much
to the Disgust of the Ex-Speak-
err.
Every one who has ever made q
close study of MI. Reeds characteris-
tics of face has noticed that he nour-
ishes a very small mustache. Every
thing about Mr.. Reed is large but the
hirsute adornment of his upper lip.
Yet, according to the Washington Post,
h man from Maine is proud of it,
like a mother of her puniest Offspring.
Once upon a time the cX-spaaker was
taking his family to a n%eighboring
town and entered the railroad station
to purchase tickets. He pulled out a
large bill, paid for his tickets and
walked away without taking his
change. He had been seated in the
train but a short time when the con-
ductor approached him.
Did you leave your change ut the
ticket Station!" he asked.
Mr.. Reed suddenly recollected that he
had.
The ticket agent who sold you the
tickets said the conductor, "des cribed
you as n very large man with Il smooth
face"
And a ~mustache," put in Mr.. Reed.
No. said the conductor, 'he didn't
say anything about Il mustache. l
guess he didn't see it,"
Mr.. Reed thrust his recovered change
into his pocket with a pout.
"Confound it," he said to a member
who was listening to the story from
his lips the other day, "a man has
got to be as small as Wilson of Wash
ington to have anybody notice that he's
got a muStach0"

Clover for Fowls.

Glover is not only more suitable as
summe food for poultry, owing to its
bulky nature, compared with corn, but
it is also more nutritious, as it con
tains a greater quantity Of the sub
stances required for the production of
eggs. The lime for the shells is pro-
duced when in a soluble form in the
food, as it passes through all the stages
and processes of digestion, and the
more soluble the mineral elements the
easier and more completely they serve
the purpose Of the hens. Glover hay
contains over thirty times more lime
than does corn or wheat, and the green
clover, though containing more water,
is comparatively as rich in lime as the
hay. Clover is also a heterogeneous food,
and supplies the elements necessary for
the albumen of the egg. When the
hens have access to clover they will
eat a large quantity during the day,
and if insects are numerous their wants
will be fully supplied. If it is desired
to give grain to the flock it should be
fed sparingly and only once a day. Do
not waste food by feeding it in sum-
mer, as the lens are capable of supply
ing themselves.

Effect of DehOrning ON Milk.

DR.. Il. M. Gatchel of West Chester,
Pa, who is an expert in the examina-
ton of COWS for tuberculosis. and in the
test of milk, says: There is one other
evil 1 wish to call your attention to.
That is in regard to using the milk of
a herd of cattle on the days immedi-
ately following the operation of dehorn-
ing. / have examined quite a number
of cattle after they were dehorned and
found that their temperature rose to
104, JOG, and, in some cases, as high as
1OS. A period of eight or nine days
elapsed before their temperature went
down to nearly the normal. During
that period the owners continued ship
ping the milk to Philadelphia. When
Il cows temperature runs up to 104 or
upward her milk is positively unfit for
use, and, / dare say, may be deadly to
infants" Mr.. Gatchel does not con-
denim dehorning. He simply warns
against using the milk of cows having
high fever from any cause.

Stringy Milk.

When the COW is nearing the time
of calvirg, the milk underyoes a change,
and she should be dried. 1t is not adj
visable to milk any cow within six
weeks of calving, the milk organs need:
ing this time at least to prepare for
the change incident to the birth of d
calf. If the cow is not near the time
of calving. the Iibrous milk indicates an
infamed condition of the udder, which
is commonly called garget. The treat
ment of this is hot fermentation of the
udder, with gentle kneading to soften
the hard portions, and, after ten min
utes of this, the udder is dried and well
rubbed with camphorated soap lini-
ment. No iodine in any form is to be
used in such cases A pound of epson
salts should be given in some warm oat-
meal cruel. If there is difficulty in
drawing off the milk on account Of its
thickness, inject some solution of car

1T wonder if I could collect at least

The Closed Mouth.

Indian mothers are wiser in one re.
spect than we are. They are most care.
full to inculcate the habit Of keeping
their children's mouths shut from their
infancy. When a baby is laid down to
sleep the mother carefully presses its
lips together. The habit, thus early ac.
CURED, seldom departs in after life.
Mothers, as a rule, regard with little
concern an early inclination to keep the
mouth open on the part of their child

to pass unnoticed, for, if only a matter
of carefullness, it may tend to foster a
