Old Clover Seed.


We have sOWn clover seed that we
know was three years old, and it came
up as thickly as seed that was of the
previous years growth sown in the
same field. The old seed is lighter in
color, as keeping it exposed to light for
a long time has faded it, but it's germi-
mating powers are not impaired. We
have no doubt that clover seed retains
it's vitality much longer than this.
Wherever crop of clover seed is grown
the seed remains in the ground, as a
good deal of it always shells while it
is being harvested. Such fields produce
clover for many years after without
new reseeding. Yet always during the
winter and spring the clover seed must
be swelled by contact with water i'll
the soil. It would seem that it could
not grow after having swollen until
nearly ready to terminate; but the
facts show that the seed is not injured
by several repetitions of this process,
OF else that the clover seed, like some
others, is slightly oily, and only germf-
mates when 1t Is moistened near the
surface Of the soil and under favora-
bic conditions for light and warmth

AAN market in prime condition is the

a0zldftion for market and see to 1t that
roo can adopt the same ratio that we
nnee saw in a barrel of apples in the
EAgt. When the head was taken out
al that barrel there was exposed a
sgr7nted slip which said: ''This package
.was produced and packed by John
Rznfth. who guarantees that when you
Ren the top you see the whole" The
ronmfssion man told US he never had
zsny trouble with anything that man

made. He not only packed his fruit and
drpgpta bIes In the best manner, but sort

Onion Soup for the Grin,

A woman who has been suffering
with a serious case of pure grip writes
that she has found the greatest relief
from onion soup. A natural craving
suggested it, and she found it most
nourishing and soothing food through
out the duration of the disease. 81
have practically lived on it, she writes,
" and here is my excellent receipt for it
in case some hOusekeeper has not one:
Four to six onions, cut fine; fry in but
ter, do not allow them to brown. Two
quarts of cold water, a bunch of pars-
ley. Boil till soft-about two hours.
Strain, and add one quart Of milk, and
thicken with two tablespoonfuls of
cornstarch, dissolved in two of cold
water Cook ten minutes, and just be-
fore serving add three ounces of but
ter. White stock may be used instead
of butter, in which case it should be
cooked another hour"

The Scorer Of Fascination.

The secret of fascination is one which
many a woman would sacrifice a good
deal to learn. To cultivate a charming
and an attractive manner one must
begin at home; and surely a better
school could not be devised, for the
training is, in it's way, perfection. Here
one is sure to find each day little rubs
which must be soothed with skillful
touch; there is a constant mind-f friction
going on among even the most devoted
members of the household. It is q pain
full fact, though none the less true, that
ones family acts as constant counter
irritant A steady effort to smooth
over the rough places, minister to
wounded hearts, and with deft touches
erase unpleasant memories is called
for and the woman who obeys the sum-
mons is pretty sure to find herself fully
able to cope in the most agreeable fash
ion with the outside w Orld. Few Wom-
en-, however, realize that a fascination
of manner is not born, but cultivated
It begins to bud in the nursery, devel-
ops under the skillful training of pains
taking instructors, and blossoms forth
into complete beauty in the society of
Well-bred women.

Cleaning Pots and Pans.

A woman naturally hates to clean up
a bread or cake bowl after the dough
has got hard They should be cleaned
as soon as used, but if necessary to
leave them for time run the tray or
bowl full of cold water and let it
stand so. When you get ready to clean
it the dough will be in the bottom of
the utensil as a general thing, and you
will only have to rinse and dry it. The
same is true Of kettles and skillets.
If you keep an oyster shell with a
thick smooth edge at hand YOU can
clean the roughness out Of anything in
half moment, but if you don't want
to do it just then you will lind that
an iron pot in which potatoes have
burned to the bottom, or Il skillet in
which meat or gravy has simmered
to crust, will be easy enough to clean,
after standing an hour or two filled
with cold water.

Cecidomyia It is a remarkable fact
that each species of the gall-fy family
has it's own form of the gall. In some
way this results from the varying pow
er which obstructs the growth energy.
A large rock falling into a stream turns
a larger and differently formed current
than a smaller one. The acid deposit
ed by one insect is more or less obstruc
tive to the formative energy than the
acid of another. This is only the gen
eral principle. No one, so far as the
writer knows, has worked The matter
out in detail.

Notes.

The harrow and the roller are
among the most important of the farm
tools. Without the liberal use of both
the small grain crops can hardly be
put in properly.
Charcoal is almost a necessity for
hogs. It's cost is but little, and all that
is required is to place a large piece
In the pen daily, as the hogs will easily
crush it for their use.
In some classes of farm products
oyerproduction has not so much to do
with the depression of prices as has
poor quality. This applies equally
to products so widely different as
cattle and fruit.
From the time an egg is dropped IN
til it be consumed it loses both bulk
and weight. This process goes on
much more rapidly in hot weather,
hence the difficulty of procuring fresh
eggs in summer. When this evapora-
ton can be effectually stopped the egg
remains sound and good for q great
length OF time.

Carrots as Feed.

Carrots are highly relished by horses.
A few carrots, fed raw, after being
sliced, will prove a deIicacy to cows,
and fed once day they will promote
the appetite and keep the animals in
good condition when other foods may
not be acceptable. Carrots are used
by some dairymen as a regular food
for cows, in order to give deeper color
to the butter, and are highly esteemed
by them for that purpose. Cooked and
thickened with bran they make an ex-
cellent mess when fed warm on a cold
day.

Roked Indian Pudding.

For small family should be baked in
deep, covered earthen pot; / use bean
pot; bake slowly for five or six hours;
three pints sweet milk; set in tin dish
over kettle of boiling water; when milk
is scalding hot sift in nine slightly
rounded tablespoons of sifted Indian
meal, stirring constantly that it does
not lump; have ready in earthen pot
one quart sweet apples peeled, cored
and quartered, one and one-half cups
molasses pour over same, one cup
chopped suet; pour hot milk and meal
into pot and stir all together; now add
one pint cold milk and do not stir again;
put to bake Immediately; one cup
stoned raisins may be added if desired;
the apple may be omitted; please follow
directions exactly.

Odds and Ends.

Plunge your knife into hot water be-
fore attempting to cut warm bread or
cake.
Don't have clark holes about the
house. Clean them out and let the sun
shine in.
1t is said that a pinch of salt placed
on the tongue and allowed to dissolve
slowly is a certain cure for sick head
ache.
Sprinkle salt over the coal in your bin
in liberal quantities; it will make it
burn more evenly and prevent ''clink-
ers."
If you cannot procure dampened saw
dust for use in sweeping use bits Of
dampened paper sprinkled over the
floor Tea leaves stain and salt makes
the carpet sticky.
A cloth dipped in grease and then in
salt is the best scourer for all sorts of
dirty and greasy dishes in the kitchen.
Do not wash them, but employ this
method instead.
A Iiniment that is very highly recon-
mended is made from one quart of
cider vinegar, half pint turpentine,
four beaten eggs, and two teaspoonfuls
of salt, well mixed together.
Mrs. Rorer is an earnest advocate of
whole wheat flour. She says bread
made from this -four not only contains
IS per cent more nourishment than
white bread but it is natures own
remedy for dyspepsia and kindred all
ments, brought on by excess of starch
in white -four bread. Apoplexy and
! Bright's disease can be traced in many
cases to an excessive use Of starchy
! food.

Road Foundations of cloth.

The Massachusetts, Highway Com
missioners' Board has found in build
ing macadamized roads, that, upon
loose, sandy soil, much stone is wasted
by being driven into the sand In such
cases gravel, when accessible, has been
placed upon the sand to a depth of three
or four inches, and the stone laid on
this By so doing the cost is greatly re-
duced. There being no gravel at Mar
tha's Vineyard, cheap cotton cloth has
been spread upon the sand, and over
that the stone The sand does not work
up through, the stone and much less
stone is required. Layers of tarred pa
per were tried, but without success, as
the stone pressed through them.

becoming am Island of Mutes.

Of the 146 inhabitants of the little
town of Chilmark, on the Island Of
Marthas Vineyard, thirty six, or almost
one-Quarter, are congenitally deaf and
dumb. The town records show that
two of the original settlers Of the place,
away back in the seventeenth century,
were deaf and dumb, and the inf1rmity
has thus been transmitted to our own
day. This hereditary influence shows
no plan of uniformity in it's workings,
deaf and dumb parents having children
in full possession of all their senses,
and vice versa. This peculiar commun-
ity, shut in from the outside world is,
however, alive to all the social and po-
litical influences of the time and does
not differ in great degree from the thou
sand and one secluded villages which
dot our New England hills and shore
line. 1t affords, however ample oppor-
tunity for the minute investigation of
both the sociologist and the student Of
evolution and physiological heredity.-

An Effective Portiere.

One of the most effective portieres
is a silk-rag curtain made of bits Of
silk of all kinds and description. Vel
vets, satins, brocades and bright bits of
every kind are used to make it. They
are sewn together and cut of uniform
width, like the rags of rag carpet. AL
most any weaver of rag carpet could
probably weave such pOrtieres. They
have a very picturesque, oriental look.

He Was Small, but He Had a Great

He stood at the corner of Vine and

The mud and the rain had made free

and cold.

He stopped down to pat the wretched

up, with a suspicion of moisture in his
eyes-though it might have been only
the rain dashing in his face-he said:
I'm richer'n you be, pore little cuss

ers-by, who were hurrying to get out Of
the drenching rain, turn TO look at him,
and then to buy-he began again:

This is recognized in stock feeding as
a valuable food article. In protein
nutrients, those parts of greatest value
In a food article, it is second only to
cotton-seed meal. At the same time it
is a food that from its oleaginous nature
has bsalthful effect on the digestive

The large proportion of food nutrients
contained, together with the healthful

In the body of an adult person there are
about IS pounds of blood.
The blood has as its most important ele-
ments, small round corpuscles, red and white,
in proportion of about 800 red to 1 white one.
If the number of red corpuscles becomes
diminished and the white ones increased the
blood is impure, thin, lacking in the nutrition
necessary to sustain the health and nerve
strength of the body.
Then That Tired Feeling, Nervousness,
Scrofula, Salt Rheum or others of the long
train of ills, according to the temperament
and disposition attack the victim.
The only permanent remedy is found in a
reliable blood medicine like Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla, which acts upon the red corpuscles, en-
riching them and increasing their number.
1t thus restores the vital fluid to healthy con-
dition, expels all impurity, cures Nervousness,
That Tired Feeling, Scrofula and all other
diseases arising from or promoted by low state
IF the blood.
That these statements are true we prove
not by our own statements, but by what
thousands of perfectly reliable people say
about Hoods Sarsaparilla. Read the testi-
