said the man with frank blue eyes, to
q Washington Star man, "some people
would be disposed to doubt some of the
stories that you have been telling about
freaks of wind storm. But l don't.
The man who told how the wind took
the roof off his and a neighbor's
houses, exchanged them and nailed
them down, has my unlimited conf
dence."
"It's every word true" said the in
dividual alluded to.
"Neither do l doubt the word of the
man who asserts that the tornado
pinned a lot of Bryan buttons on the
coat lapels of pedestrians. Ihave had
an experience which will not permit
me to be skeptical."
"What was it?"
"I wouldn't tell it in any company
but this, where I know it will be ap-
preciated."
"Did you have q house blown down?'
"No. That wouldn't be anything
extraordinary. I hadn't any house to
be blown down. I nave been living at
hotel, waiting for my new residence
in the country to be completed. All
the material was lying out on the lot,
and the plans were in a Toulouse
near by. When I went to look at the
place this morning I found that the
wind had broken open the Toulouse,
secured the plans, built the whole
house, cleaned the windows, and star

MEASURING AN ACRE.-Few farm
ers know the size of their fields or
how many acres they contain. 1t is
desirable-in fact, indispensable for
good work that farmer should know
this, otherwise he cannot apporlion
seed or manure for it, nor can he tell
how much time it should take to plow,
harrow or cultivate it. A good cotton
cord, the size of plow line, should be
kept for the purpose of measuring.
TO make one, buy 67 feet Of cotton
rope, fasten a ring at each end, and
make these rings precisely 66 feet
apart. This is four rods. Tie piece
Of red rag in the center.
One acre of ground will be piece
four of these cords long and two-and-
a-half wide, equal to l6 by 10 rods,
making 16O square rods to an acre.
The advantages of the rings is that
one person can measure by driving a
stake in the ground to hold the rope
while he stretches it out. The rope

HOW TO REMOVE WARTS.

No person likes to have his hands
disfgured by warts, and there are few
who will not resort to severe means to
remove the unsightly excrescences.
The writer, when a boy, was annoyed
by a wart near the thumb. One day
he picked il with pin, and squeezed
the juice of several grapes over it.
What possessed him to do this he has
never been able to explain, but the
result was the wart dried up, crum-
bled and vanished forever a few days
later, without leaving the slightest
scar.
Naturally the youth recommended
his remedy to others, and many of his
playmates tried it. Not one of them,
however, received the least benefit,
and the lad referred to suffered con-
siderable loss to his reputation for
yeracity, more than one youngster
plainly intimating his disbelief in the
story. He set himself right by saying
that probably the wart was just ready
to vacate anyway, and the grapes had
nothing to do with it. Be that as it
may, the testimony of j. E. johnson
in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, is
valuable:
I have always had warts on my
hands ever since I was a boy, and
have tried thousand remedies for
them, including all the charms known
to the oldest darkey in the country.
The only thing that would suppress
them even temporarily was a red-hot
needle. Somebody told me about it
10 or Is years ago, but I never tried it
for long time, dreading the pain.
At last I had a big wart on the
knuckle of my left fore6nger, where 1
was always knocking it against some
thing and keeping it raw and sore. l
determined to try the hot needle. So
I had a large needle fixed in an awl-
handle, heated it red-hot in the fame
of a lamp, and thrust it through the
big wart at one punch. The pain was
no greater than 1 had been enduring
from striking the wart against every
thing I touched, and after the needle
had cooled I took it out. The wart
began to dry up, and in three or four
days I picked it off with my thumb
nail. Since then, whenever one makes
it's appearance, I take needle to it,
and the remedy never fails.

How TO BEAT THE SKIPPER Fly
1. N. Poe of Sherman, Ark, in an
article on preventives against skip
pers, published in The Southern Farm,
says;
1st. Get one pound of borax to
/ 900 pounds of meat pulverize same
by running through an old coffee mill /;
have ready a large pepper box, with
holes in the lid little coarse, so that
the borax can pass through readily.
End. Take up meat after it has
taken up salt sufficiently, wash all
salt off in warm water and while the
meat is wet, dust thoroughly with
borax flesh of meat and end of the
leg bone, and in every nook and cor
ner where meat has been cut. Hang
up, and you need not take down, only
as is necessary for use, and if you will
only follow the above directions, you
will never lose any meat from the
effects of the skipper fly. I have seen
it thoroughly tested. One of my
neighbors, Mr.. w. V. Keith, killed
three hogs early one season, hung up
some in the center Of the house /;
killed nine late in the season, using
borax on last killing, hung last on
either side of first, and the last kept
perfectly free from the fly, while the
first was badly injured by its prey
upon it; furthermore, I let a Negro
on my place have one side last fall
that had hung in the smokehouse for
1S or 20 months, and was as sound
and free from the skipper fly as the
day it was hung up. Hams 60
through the season in perfect safety.
] am farmer and write this for the
benefit of the farming class of people,
wishing all happy New Year and a
prosperous future.

CLEANING OLD CLoTHEs.-The mys-

CLEANING OLD CLoTHEs.-The mys-
terry to many people how the scourers
of old clothes can make them almost
as good as new, is explained in The
American Analyst as follows: Take,
for instance, a shiny old coat, vest, or
pair of pants of broadcloth, cashmere
or diagonal. The scourer makes u
strong, warm. soapsuds and plunges
the garment into it, souses it up and
down, rubs the dirty places, if neces.
sary puts it through several waters
and hangs it to dry on the line.
When nearly dry he takes it in, rolls
it up for an hour or two and then
presses it. An old cotton cloth is laid
on the outside of the coat, ami the
iron passed over that until the wrinkles
are out; but the iron is moved before
the steam ceases to rise from the
goods, else they would be shiny.
Wrinkles that are obstinate are re-
moved by laying a wet cloth over
them and passing the iron over that.
If any shiny places are seen, they are
treated as the wrinkles are; the iron
is lifted, while the full cloud of steam
rises, and brings the nap up with it.
Cloth should always have suds made
especially for it, as with that which
has been used for white cotton or
woolen clothes, lint will be left in the
water, and cling to the cloth. In this
manner we have known the same coat
and pantaloons to be renewed time
and again, and have all the look and
feel of new garments. Good broad
cloth and its fellow cloths will bear
many washings, and look better every
time because of them.
