BIRDS AS BAROMETERS.
\ Well Known Writer Who Holds That
They Are Not Weatherwise.

In his charming book, Recent Ram
blcS, DIR. Charles G. Abbott gives some
little attention to the question whether
birds can realize the coming of n storm so
far in advance of its actual appearance rs
to serve obSrrvant man as u reliable bar
ometcr. Although this has been popularity
believed for centuries, DR.. Abbott thinks
that it has no basis in fact and voices his
opinion in these words:
1t needs but short ramble in the
woods and fields after II summer shower to
see how painfully destructive arc moderate
wind and rain when they rush across the
country hand in hand. There is no more
touching sight in all nature than the lowly
murmurcd plant of nest birds MS they con
template, after shower, their ruined
home and drowned hrdglingS.
ITO credit bird with weather wisdom
and yet with no power to guard against
probable danger Is to assume that 1t leads
the terrible life of one in constant fcar--a
mental condition the bird $ daily life fatty
contradicts Never does the world look
brighter than few hours before some
great change. Never are the birds moro
merry, mammals more full of play; yet
the impending storm means mischief that
to some extent might be avcrted had these
happy creatures but an inkling of what
was coming

This is the season of the year when
conventions, reunions, race meets and
summer assemblages of all kinds are
most frequent Everybody is on his
or her vacation, and the disposition of
everyone is to follow the crowd" The
wisely managed cities are sure to offer
some attraction to people looking for
amusement or entertainment
As a matter of course there is no sea-
SOL of the year when a valid excuse
ear be offered for permitting the
streets of a town or city to present an
untidy appearance. This is doubly
true of the summer season, when every
place will be visited by a greater or
less number OF strangers or non-resi-
dents.
The proper sort of a housekeeper al
ways has everything in the best con-
dition possible. but even the halfway
prudent one will sort of tidy things up
when she knows company is coming.
She will dust the furniture, sweep the
front stoop and, possibly, rake the
front yard. 1t is simply good policy.
She doesn't wish folks to go home and
say unccmplimentary things about
her.
The poorest kind of advertising a

Fashion Notes.

Ribbon trimmings for dresses are
very daintily arranged in loops. bows,
knots and rosettes. A convenient way
of making these is to sew them firmly
upon a bit of silk of the same color,
sufficiently large to attach one or
safety pins, according to the size of the
loop or rosette. These pins are sewed
over and over to the edge of the silk
backing. When worn they are simply
pinned upon the dress, and can be re-
moved at a moments notice and with
out disturbing anything. In addition
to this, the ribbon or velvet is not dis
figured by pin-holes and spoiled. as is
so often the case, after two or three
wearings. Little economies of this
sort are evidences of good sense. 1t is
a needless, impractical and extrava-
giant woman who sticks pins in a new
place every time she puts on her hats
or her ribbons.
A quaint and pretty waist is of black
glace silk, with very large pulled
sleeves. A collar, square yoke and
shoulder ruffles are made of the finest,
sheerest white linen lawn, with real
V~alenciennes lace around the edge of
the rufie. The yoke portion is shir-
red from side to side on the draw

rosettes at either side, cover the shir-

Butter PAYS All the Time.

If we want to make our farms self
sustaining we must keep more cows
and less steers and other stock, as the
cows pay for their keep and leave a
fair profit, while it costs as much to
raise two steers as we can get for three
if we sell to the butchers Therefore,
/ should advise farmers to keep cows,
make butter and feed the milk to pigs.
Butter always brings a fair price, with
the least change in price, during all of
the panic times we nave had. Butter
is the only farm product that has not
been down to ruInous prices. There
fore, let us keep all of the good cows
that we can get fodder for. This can
be grown right at home on the farm in
the form of grain crops, ensilage, with
NIL of the grain, such as wheat, barley
and oats, that it is possible to raise,
then our farms will be self-sustaining

Plants as Subscribers.

There are some silent subscribers
that do their work with ease, and, in
their way, as ef~fectually as any team
or plow eve hitched, though on some
lands the use of a subsoil pillow is
essential to the best beginning of such
work. The clover plant is rightly
famed as one of these, and alfalfa is
its superior. Its roots work Sunday as
we'll as Saturday. night and day; they
strike five. ten, fifteen or twenty feet
deep, making innumerable perfora-
tions, while storing up nitrogen, and
when these roots decay they leave not
only a generous crop but millions of
openings into which the air and rains
of heaven find their way, and help to
constitute an unfailing reservoir Of

LISsEED meal made into a jelly and

We are asked if sugar beets are as
good for mich cows as ensilage is.
Yes, perhaps better; but they r more

Do NOT feed much cornmeal to calves,
