When women Are over ThlrtY.

Rev. Madison o. Peters, one Of New
York's most famous clergymen says:
"A woman is never an old maid until
she becomes old maldish. | know many
charming young women Of thirty who
are not one-half so old maldish as girls Of
twenty-one American women here In
New York do not become old maids un
less they are born so. believe that the
reproaoh In which the word was once
used has gone out with great many
other foolish superstItions. Women are
not brought. up nowadays TO be-
lieve that their chief aim In life
is marriage They are broader
minded and do not gossip about
unmarried men or women. They know
that many remain single through choice.

TRAYS FOR APPLES.

to keep the fruit from evaporating any
of its own juices, and capab BILE of being
held al a low temperature-just above
the chilling points an almost ideal
place for the storing of apples. But the
location is not all. Large quantities
should not be heaped together, nor
should apples be kept in barrels, bins
or boxes where the air cannot circulate
freely through them. Any tendency
toward decay is sure to be augmented
under such circumstances. The ac-
companying Illustration is presented
affording an economical and exceed
ingly practical method of storing fruit.
Trays with slat bottoms, each three
feet square, are supported. one above
another, upon brackets that are nailed
to pieces of upright studding. A sue
cession of this studding with brackets
can extend along the whole side of the
cellar, or upon two sides, if desired.
The trays can be made as deep as de-
sired, and the fruit can be heaped up a
little. In this way but small quantity
circulate about each and every apple.
Each tray can be removed to n table if
it is desired to look the fruit over for
the detection of incipient decay, or when
getting ready to pack for market. Such
trays viii last for score of years, and
can easily be made in the home work
shop on rainy days.-N- Y. Tribune.

TnE COMMONPLACE.

Shall we but value what Is rare
The fiawleSS gem, the peerless face
And none o. our affection spare
For what is only commonplace
The gifts of God, like words. abound
On ev'ry page of natures book,
There's something worthy to be found
Wherever you may chance to look
We do rank common things before
Gods rarer wonders. now and then,
As common bread is worth far more
Than diamonds to hungry men,
And always in Gods common things
There's beauty. If we care to seek
The sober brown Of sparrows' wings,
The wrinkles on a furrowed cheek
'Tis not perfection icy-cold,
In earth beneath, or heav'n above,
That can alone our heart-strings hold:
Hearts cannot tell us why they love.
God help US all If men should care
For only what is full of grace,
Lest love itself should then be rare
And we should still be commonplace

GOOD COUNTRY ROADS.
Almost Every individual Is Interested In
Their Maintenance.

Almost Every individual Is Interested in
Their Maintenance.
Every individual in this country who
owns horse or bicycle has an active,
living, personal interest in good roads,
says the New York Ledger, but the
apathy with which many of them re-
gard the subject is only another ex-
ample of how ''use doth work habit
in man." At present many roads are
in frightful condition because of the
narrow tires that cut up and grind
out the country thoroughrares. Prop
erty owners shrink responsibility be-
cause it takes money to improve the
highways, and many of them are so
given TO procrastination that they cam
not bring themselves to take anything
in hand that demands immediate at
tention. In addition to this. most of
their wheels have narrow tires, which
in itself is quite enough to paralyze
some at least of the efforts. toward re-
form. There is no more urgent need in
this country than strict attention to
the condition of the roads, for a smooth,
hard surface means larger loads, great
er ease for the team and much comfort
for the driver. Bad roads are expensive
and annoying, and the only wonder is
that communities are not sufficiently
alive to their own interests to put the
highways in order without the interfer-
ence of state or national authorities.

THE CREAMOMETER.
Not Always Reliable, But Recommended Cd
Because 1t Is Very sImple.

Because 1t Is Very simple
A very simple test, and one which,
although not altogether reliable, is bet
ter than none, is the judgment of milk
by the amount of cream it will show.
This is not an accurate test, because
it may fail to show cream when it should
or it may show more than it ought; how
ever, it will not show cream if there
is none in the milk. With two samples
of milk having the same amount of fat
different results may appear with this
test, as the proportion of the fat glo-
bules which rise depends somewhat on
the age of the milk and the way it was
handled before delivery. If fat globules
have much difficulty in rising, only a
small part of them will get to the top
and they may carry up with them so
much of the other constituents that
there will be large bulk of poor cream.
When the test is carefully conducted
and conditions are favorable to the rise
of cream, fair results can usually be
obtained. This test requires a long,
graduated glass tube Zig. 81, which is
filled with milk to the zero mark and
allowed to stand in a cool place for 20
to Pa hours. The cream is aided in ris-
ing by warming the milk to 100 degrees
Fahrenheit and then setting it, in the
tube, in cold water, or the tube may be
filled half full of milk and the re-
mainder with warm water, which raises
the temperature and reduces the Wis
costly; in such case only half as much
cream will appear as the milk is to be
given credit for; for example, if the con-
tents of glass are half water and show
ten per cent. cream upon the scale, this
| means, of course, 20 per cent. of the
| milk. If the milk is the same each day
| and is tested in the same way. there
| should be little difference in the cream

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

In the fall is the best time to set out
rhubarb plants.
a few veli-known sorts are the best

With raspberries it will pay to re-

In. many cases gardening and fruit
a practical business.
The ounce does best with a short
trunk, the top branching out few
inches from the ground.
The arbor vitae or Norway spruce
is one of the best varieties of evergreens
to plant for wind-break.
After the garden crops are harvested
plow up the garden and apply good
dressing of ~elI-rotted manure.
When quality of fruit is desired the
more branches and top you can make
the larger will be the crop of fruit.
When garden seeds of any kind are
gathered be sure that they are thor

The sooner red and black raspberries,
blackberries, currants and gooseberries
are set out the better. Early planting
gives a better opportunity to secure a
good root growth before winter.-St-

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

Cows need both shade and sunshine,
but wooded pasture is not as good as
one largely open.
Sweet corn makes one of the very best
feeds to cut off and feed green. when
pasturage begins to fail.
Get rid of the old cows and the poor
cows. Cows are cheap enough TO war
rant US in having the best.
: Have you stopped selling butter Mt
the country store? You must, if you are
TO make a~success of the dairy.
German experimenters claim that
cows calving in December give over 25
per cent. more milk than those freshen-
ing in May or June.
A farmer friend says that in using
his Jersey bull on small tread power
for running his cream separator is not
only a cheap and easy way to secure all
the cream, but results in more vigorous
calves.
Care for the COW at calving time, or
she will be profitless the rest of the
season; also, put little oil meal or oat-
meal in the milk for the calves. to keep
them plump, and see that they do not
gorge themselves; and remember that
the calf makes the COW.
The cow requires a ration to grow
bone and muscle as we'll as fat. Do not
expect corn 70 supply all that it requires
in the way of grain. 1t is the food rich
in heterogeneous elements which will sup
ply that which is most wanted. such as
oats, bran, peas, Hnseed cakes with
clox er hay.

adjoining counties. SO as to form con-
