Will Be a Blessing.

The person who uses a telephone
and hangs the receiver up without
bringing off, can have no idea to
what extent his action works upon
the mind of Miss Central and suggests
to her the hiring of a man to say
things for her. There are also
things to be said on behalf OF the
man whom Miss Central cuts off in
the middle Of sentence; but per-
haps most Of these things have been
said already. An invention is now
being tested by the Metropolitan
telephone company of this city,
which is expected to do away with
''ringing off," This device consists
of a miniature incandescent lamp in
front of the operator, which flashes
whenever a receiver is hung up after
the completion Of the conversation.
It is said by President Cutler, of the
telephone company, that the device
is working very we'll and may be
adopted for use on all the switch
boards of the company. Y. Sun.

room adjoining the same optical
phenomenon is exhibited by great
looking-glasses in frames of gold
and enamel. In the closet of the
presidents room is small gilt
framed mirror which was bought in
the time of John Adams for $26.
The purchase was condemned in the
senate as an outrageous extrava-
gance 1t has never been regilded,
, because to do so would mar it's his
Soric value.
Secretary Lamont, sitting in his
luxurious business office, can see
himself in a great osewood-framed
mirror on his left. The glass
stretches from floor to ceiling and
reflects a fire that burns brightly in
the hearth opposite. On either side
of the mirror is an American flag on
a tall stick.
On the walls of the deserted Oc-
tagon house still hang two or three
shabby old looking glasses. This
was the residence inhabited by
Presidents Madison and Monroe,
owing to the destruction of the
White house by the British. For
many years nobody has been willing
to occupy the ancient residence be-
cause of the ghosts that are sup
posed to occupy it, The real estate
agents in charge OF it cannot rent it
for $25 a month. There probably
never was dwelling whose reputa-
tion for being haunted was better
established on basis of credita BILE
testimony. One can imagine what
spectral horrors may have been re-
fected in the mirrors above referred
to, which reproduce no living pictures.

There are, without a doubt, more
women engaged in poultry breeding
IN the West than in any other part
OF the United States. And these
women, as a rule, are farmers wives
and daughters, who have so much
other work to attend to on the farm
and IN the household, they cannot
give much time to the care of poul-
try, and for that reason must nec-
essarily confine themselves to small
tlocks. An exchange says: It will
pay ali such far better to keep strictly
pure bred fowls, and, in addition to
marketing the poultry, advertise the
eggs for sale for Matching purposes.
1t would be far better for them to
sell what eggs they could in this way
and hatch the remainder. A small
incubator would prove valuable TO
get out the stock, where eggs are
more plentiful than setting hens.
But stick to one breed, and give that
your time and attention. 1t will paw
YOU best.

Keeping Teams Busy.
T 1t is one of the chief difficulties of
farming on small acreage that tie
necessary work to be done in plow-
ing, cultivating and marketing crops
requires full team part of the time,
while there is not sufficient work to
keep it employed all the time. Idle
horses soon eat more than their la
Dor during a small part of the year
is worth. Yet the small farmer who
relies on hiring team work done is
always handicapped by finding it i'm
possible to hire teams when he most
needs them The only other re-
course is to change the methods of
farming. Put on more labor and
capital per acre, and thus grow crops
which will keep the teams busy most
of the year hauling them to mar.
ket.
If there are days when no market
ing is to be done, the teams can be
employed just as profitably in draw
ing manure. In most cases this on
small farm will make it necessary
! to buy most if not all the sfeedsthat
the teams eat. This is what market
gardeners almost invariably do. They
cannot afford to grow hay or grain
on land that will produce five and
perhaps ten times as valuable a cror
in something else. Buying all their
feed they know just what it costs
them, and are less likely to lose by
keeping teams idle. The chief diff.
ficulty with many farmers in making
their farming pay is not recognizing
that. the feed which they grow and
feed is worth it's market value, and
that whatever eats such feed mus
return at least what it has cost and
can be sold for Unless this is at
tended to, the losses from non-paying
stock will eat the profits that can be
made otherwise. American Culti-

settled down, the particles of earth
are packed nearer together, and the
spaces between them are small. A
number of these small spaces Joined
together make little tubes called
"capillary'' tubes, and in these water
will rise from below. If the soil
has not been disturbed after a
rain, these tubes come to the surface,
and so does the water in them. The
water coming to the surface evapor-
ates and escapes, consequently is
lost as far as that particular crop is
concerned. When the soil has been
plowed, the spaces of tubes are made
larger, and water will not rise in
large tubes. Hence it comes up as
far as the small tubes are undis-
turbed and stops there, and the loose
soil above prevents it's rapid evapor-
alton. In this way and by these
means the natural pores of the earth
are closed, the loose dirt serves as a
"mulch," and the soil moisture con-
served in time of drouth, and re-
tanned in the soil (exactly where it
is needed) from one rain to the next.
This mulch not only prevents the
escape of soil moisture, but it also
tends to check the intense heat of
the sun IN it's downward progress to
the roots of plants Both of these
are very important matters during
spells of long-continued, hot, dry
weather throughout the whole Of
the United States, but doubly import
ant throughout the semi-arid regions
of the Southwest and West.
