He was one of the first subscribers tC

qualifications. AS a wide-awake mar
Hobson was not slow to grasp the pos
sibilities Of the long distance telephone
And that is how Hobson and Dobsor
came to have the first dispute which
marred years of profitable partnership
Dobson went to New York last week
He made his headquarters at well
known Gotham hotel, and telegraphed
Hobson of his arrival in the Eastern
town. 1t seems that an Eastern Gus.
toner had failed to keep a certain
agreement, the details Of which were

Household Hints.


If SCOT is dropped on a carpet throw
down an equal quantity of salt and
sweep all Off together.
Always put the sugar used in tart

1t makes the crust sodden.
Fruit stains can be eradicated by
oxalic acid, and should be seen to at
once while the stain is fresh.

been used. and wiped. clean with a

DON'T Cover Deeply.

When covering small seeds be careful
not to have too much earth over them.
They cannot push through the ground
after termination in some soils, and
especially where the land banks. Such
seeds ~ carrots, parsnips, turnips, kale
cabbabe, etc., require only a slight
sprinkling of dirt for a covering. Beets
peas, beans and other large seeds may
be planted deeper, but half an inch Of
dirt Is sufficient for them.

Feeding.

Many farmers do not draw the line
in feeding. They give the growing
stock the same rations which are al
lowed to fattening animals, and make
no distinction between winter aud sum-
mer feeding other than to use the pas
ture in summer. 1t is waste Of food
to give corn and ground grain ut every
meal in the summer, unless moderately,
and it Is of no advantage to have young
stock very fat. an. III

Effective Spraying.

Smith Hawley, of Michigan, In a lee
ture before the horticultural society OF
that State. said that the picture so
often seen in agricultural papers OF a
man standing on wagon and throw
ing spray into apple trees as he was
drawn along is delusion. To do thor
ough work one must go all about a tree
and throw spray upon it from every
direction. When this work is properly
done the trees will retain their foliage
until the snow falls and will produce
much fruit on off years.

Pumpkins and cucumbers will grow

that melons are difficult to grow. On
the contrary, they can be grown MS

Insect Destruction Prevented.

Gardeners are often pestered by
small insects eating young plants. To
prevent the destruction, nail two half
hoops together at the center and sharp
en- the ends. Press the ends into the
ground over the plants and throw over
them cotton mosquito netting or cheese

This is an American novelty. To pre-
pare them blanch cupful of almonds
and dry thoroughly; boil cupful Of
sugar and one-quarter cupful of water

monds and let them fry in this strip,
stirring them occasionally. They will
turn light brown before the sugar
changes color. Do not wait an instant
once this change of color begins or they
will lose flavor. Remove them from
the fire and stir them until the strip
has turned back to sugar and clings
to the nuts.

plause. -. - it,.
Mr.. Rlethen's Swedish dialect
stories were nieqture oi the program
and were excellent. His personal
carriage during his reading does
much to augment the humOr OF his
seiec ctiUns aud he never iails tO make
his hea rers laugh. Both gentlemen re-
ceived hearty ,encOres unG responded
cheeriully with catching selec tiOns.
