prompted by curiosity and not by de-;

meant.
The proprietor led me into q rear
room-a sitting closet that reminded
one OF q Turkish bath-lifted the lid Of
a big chest and pointed out a pile of
white satin garments, little faded, but
wonderfully beflounced and bedizened.
There" he said.
"And do women who ere to be mar
ried come here and hire these dresses
and return them after the wedding?"
Many 90.
Why"
"Well. most women here can't afford
a nice wedding dress. but they all want
to look beautiful on their wedding day,
so 1 have these dresses and so they
come to me-"
"Then one of these dresses has been
worn by several women"

Miscellaneous Notes.

A swine breeder says that he has
found clover for young growing hogs
worth as much as corn, acre for acre,
and that a good acre of clover will
make COO pounds of pork.
The stalk and blade of the corn plant
are at the highest point Of nutrition
harden. This is the time to cut it for
shredding into hay.
Monsieur A. Petit. a French chemist,
has recently discovered that fruit may
be preserved for months, beyond the
usual time for its decay by subjecting
it to the fumes of alcohol from an open
bottle. He kept grapes by this means
in perfect condition from October to
January.
Good butter cannot be made with
butter soaked implements in any at
mospheric conditions. Old crooks with
wooden covers and an old churn take
the life out of cream in a hurry. IN
fortunately no substitutes have been
found for wood, but put these articles
in the fire when they have lost their
freshness.
A Koscousko county farmer who
gathered LOGO bushels Of wheat from
forty -four acres. making an average
Of over twenty-fOur bushels per acre,
SAYS he can raise wheat ut II II cents
per bushel. Twenty-fOur bushels at
that cost would be S3.72. That is a
very small sum to eXpend upon an
acre The cost of breaking and seed
ing and harvesting must come within
$3, for the seed wheat is worth IS
cents at least: and he allows nothing
whatever for rent of land. which ought
not to be less than $1.j0. Shall we
start the subject of raising wheat
again? This farmer needs to be en-
ligh:ened; perhaps others are as much
mistaken as he is-Indiana Farmer.

How Much n Windmill Will Irrigate.
OF course the deeper the water is be-
low the surface, the greater Is the
power required to raise 1t. Conse-
quently, a windmill of a given strength
will raise less water and irrigate less
land when the water has to be raised
200 feet than when it has to be raised
100 feet. A twelve foot windmill Is
usually reckOned capable of doing the
following, provided a suitable reser-
voir is attached:
Water 200 feet below the surface,
with a reservoir 30x6O and six feet
deep will water one acre Of garden.
Water $50 feet in depth, with reser-
yoir 4OxSO, one and One-half acres.
Water 100 feet in depth and reser-
voir 5Ox1OO. two acres.
Water fifty feet in depth and reser-
yoir 6Ox12O, four acres.
Where the soil is free from rocks
and we'll points can be easily driven,
it will always pay to put up a WIND
mill. if the water is within fifty feet
of the surface. wherever there is a
sale or demand for garden truck ana
where the necessary water cannot De
obtained by any cheaper method.
Usually arid land near enough to town
can be obtained for very small sum,
and as the total cost of a windmill and
reservoir will not exceed $3.50, it is
like buying four acres of irrigated land
for this amount, plus the value of the
land in it's arid state.-Southwestern
Farm and Orchard.

Late-hatched broods Of chickens OF

cause they are late-hatched. but be
cause they come at period when the
heat is greatest, and because In many
cases there is little or no protection
from it. A coop is placed in q glare OF
sunshine, and both the mother hen
and the chicks suffer greatly. and the
latter do not thrive. Put the coOps

1t Happened Yesterdnr.

A business man got out his life policies,
on which he had made many payments,
to negotiate loan with the company. He
was surprised when informed that the
policies had no cash value whatever.
The Massachusetts Mutual Life Insur-
ance Company indorses cash and paid-up
values for every year after the first, on
every policy 1t costs no more to have
this advantage.
Another important fact is, that every
year, beginning with the anniversary OF
the first, the company pays large divi-
dend, which the policy holder, at his op-
ton, can use to reduce his premium pay
ments, or can allow TO accumulate. in
which case the policy is credited with
the amount OF paid-up insurance which
the dividend will purchase, so that in
case of death his beneficiary Will not only
receive the face value OF his policy, but
the dividend additions also.

lent plans as will surely satisfy all those
wanting the full benefits of reliable life
insurance. These superior ADVANTAGES
coupled with the age, strength and past
record of the company, should commend
it to every one.
The policies are always negotiable be-
cause of the opportunities given every
year by the company, viz: to return def

of money; or extend the insurance for
years, without any action on YOUR part

These dealers have stalls in the mar

to take out any license. Deputy City
Marshal Kelly has been trying to collect
the license and failing to do SO, has placed
the dealers on the docket.

found that besides retailing fish in the
market the dealers have fish houses at
places in :he city at which they do bust
ness. some of them doing a very con-
siderable business. Some time ago they
presented a petition to council, requesting
that inasmuch as they paid stall rent in
the market they be not required to pay
the license for fish dealers. which is $50
