Attention to poultry pays on the farm,
and during these times, when country
produce Is selling at such low prices,
there Is no product on the farm that
brings cash so readily as poultry and
eggs.

nenetit. Of Earlr Fall plowlng.

Benehts OF Early Fail Flowing.
In all our experience we have never
seen any but the best results from
early fall plowing, while on the other
hand we have often seen the III effects
Of late plowing on the next crop. At
one time We began the plowing Of a
field containing eighty acres while still
engaged In stacking, the wet weather
having interfered with the latter work.
says a writer in the Homestead"
Flowing was continued at odd times till
late In the fall, and the following year
the entire field was planted In corn.
During the summer the growing corn
told unerringly of the difference In
time of plowing. the crop being the
best on the early plowed ground and
the poorest on the late plowed. With
our experience in plowing stubble
ground for a crop Of corn we would
much prefer spring plowing to that Of
the late fall, the only thing to be said
in favor of the latter being that work
Is not usually so pressing in the fall az
in the spring, but early fall plowing
Is far better than either, whether for
corn or small grain. and II the surface
Of the soil does become packed all the
better for the crop. 1t will show Its
appreciation as soon as 1t secures a
foothold.

Bathing Is first of all for cleanliness,
but Il should be practiced also for It's
good effect upon the skin, the eircula-
tion and the nutrition. 1t affords an
excellent stimulus for the skin, Inn
proving the tone OF It's minute network
of vessels, increasing the excretlou
which is carried on by Its glands. and
thus relieves the kidneys and liver Of
much of their work. II acts as an addi-
tional stimulus to the circulation by
causing the blood to flow more thor.
oughly through all the organs Of the
body as well as through the minute
blood-vessels Of the skin itself. II Inn
proves nutrition by causing more
rapid removal Of the waste products
from the system.
One Of the most lnvigorating forms Of
bathing Is the cold sponge bath taken in
the morning before breakfast. Persons
who do not react readily after such n
bath, such'as the very young. the very
old, or those who are seriously weaken
ed by disease. should not practice It.
For person Of average health, how
ever. the cold bath Is an excellent tonic.
The exhilaration and warmth OF the
cold sponge bath can be increased by
drying and rubbing the body with
rough towel.
Care should aways be taken not to
have the bath too prolonged, or OF a
temperature 80 low as to prevent the
reactlonary dilation of the vessels of
the skin. II the cold sponge bath Is
taken regularly the blood vessels of the
skin are trained to contract and relax
easily, and therefore habi.ual bathers
are comparatively little liable to catch
cold. The number Of red blood corpus
cles md the amount of colorlng matter
In them is increased by cold baths. An
excellent way Of becoming accustomed
10 the cold sponge bath Is to begin with
water which Is tepid. and gradually re-
duce Its temperature until absolutely
cold water can be borne and enjoyed.

Teach Roys How to rarm.

To make farm life success and de-
sirable, the farmer must teach his boys
and girls that there is no other profes-
sion within the bounds OF civilization
as Independent, honorable and emo
bling as life on the farm. This growing
practice Of sending our boys to school
to be educated for some other profes-
sion is making all our farm boys anx-
ious to leave the old homestead and
crowd into the cities; where every pro-
fesslon Is overdone, and trlckery the
only door left open to the educated boy.
1t is not enough to teach boys how to
farm; the foundation of success is in
teaching them contentment on the
farm

FAREWELL TO THE BONNET.
These Dainty Bits OF Millinery Have Been
DepOsed.


DepOsed.
The bonnet, large and small, convex
and concave, narrow and wide, is
doomed. 1t is superseded by the hat
even for the most festive occasions.
The flower wreath or a rost and an
aigrette are still in vogue for opera and
theater, but the actual bonnet that
covers the crown of the head and ties
ander the chin has had it's day.
Hence the prettiest display of spring
millinery is in an infinite variety o.
hats. The most dasling of new hats
are displayed either in a combination Of
vivid colors or else are entirely black.
The former are usually perfect flower
gardens, while the black hats are broad
Of brim and carry large and pictur-
esque display of tossing plumes. The
desirable hat for the first warm spring
days will be undoubtedly the flower
turban. These dainty turbans are
square and oblong as well as round, and
are completely covered with masses of
flowers and foliage, with always
bunch of violets and black aigrettc
on the left side.

can be crowded into one conscientious
millinery effort. It is made up of dozens
Of crush roses, shading from the deli
cate pink of the La France to the deep
velvety carmine of the Black Prince
Rose leaves in various shades of spring
greens are used literally, and thorned
stems stand tall and straight in com
pany with the black aigrette.
The violetan mignonette turbans are
less gorgeous than the rose hat; but
where they are found altogether too
modest in effect a vivid American
Beauty rose is placed at the base of the
aigrette in place of the knot of violets.
Buttons are to be one of the chief
trimmings of the new spring gowns.
Both large and small buttons will be
used and their arrangement will be-
varied.-N. Y. World.

HOW THE PAPUANS LIVE.
Queer Race of People Who Tnhabit thu
Interior of New Guinea.

Queer Race of People Who Tnhabit the
Interior of New Guinea.
The interior of New Guinea is one
vast mass of upheaved granite, without
traces of mineral or metal ores, the
strata tilted and piled topsy-turvy.
Everywhere the work of volcanic erup-
lions is to be seen. Such thinly pop
ulated region, considering the fact that
it was an absolutely new country and
that fruits and small game were Sc
plentiful, | did not suppose could exist,
writes Van Gerstel. the explorer. The
natives we saw from time to time, at &
distance mostly; they never molested
us. Their heads were fiat on top, with
long, curly black hair; they went en-
tirely naked. Their bullock extended
out eight and even ten inches, this re-
pulsive deformity constituting a sup
portamp'y capable of sustaining a child
in sitting position. Nor was this
their most marked popularity Some
of the nursing mothers threw their
breasts back over their shoulders or
under their arms, at will, TO feed the IN
FAINT carried in a sling between their
shoulders.
The Papuans are very unattractive
race to look upon. In arms they were
primitive to degree that was astound-
ing. They had neither bows nor spears
that | saw, their only weapons being
stone hatchets. OF the use of metals
they seemed to be entirely ignorant. Ia
the dry season they made their homes
in caves, which they found or exca
waited for themselves. Some of these
cave dwellings l visited, discovering
fragments of their repasts and occa
sionally a broken stone ak. In the
rainy season they live high in the trees,
where they build rude houses of sticks
laid around and intertwjned with the
branches, matched with dried slang
alang and reached by shaky-looking
stick ladders. Most startling was the
solitude, the restitution of life and mo-
ton in the great central plateaus which
we reached in our gradual ascent from
the river level. There were plenty of
the small creature of the squirrel tribe,
some of the peculiar pig-headed deer we
have in Java, and an occasional little
tiger cat rather handsome than hurt
ful-looking. That was all. = Spring

MUNICIPAL FIRE INSURANCE.
Success of the System on q Small Scale In
SxurAfz

Success of the System on q Small Scale In
Switzerland.
Various attempts have been made In
different European countries to estab-
lish a system of state or municipal fire
insurance, and the most successful ex-
amples are to be found in that nursery
of European Observation-Disclosures.
In Zurich and several other cantons
fire insurance is made part of canton
al government. One of the best laws
on the subject is in operation in Basel
Stadt, one of the smallest of Swiss cam
tons, containing only $4,000 people
less than the population of small
London local government district. The
town of Basel has population OF Co.
O0O,so that the community is largely an
urban one. The fire insurance law is
administered by the general obliga-
tory mutual fire insurance institution"
operating under the department of
finance. The law is not only compul-
sorry, but the system is a monopoly, as
buildings insured by it are not allowed
to carry additional insurance. Several
classes of buildings are excluded from
the operation of the law, including
churches, which belong to the state,
buildings of less value than 300 francs,
when situated some distance from
towns or villages, as they perhaps run
little or no risk, and the buildings
which are of too hazardous nature,
such as theaters and powder mills.
A valuation commission appointed
by the government council values the
in, of ha
Or his agents. The value is determined
Shy the amount which at the time of
the valuation the buildings in their
then existing construction would cost
for material and labor, with deductions
for age, use, poor state of repairs, etc"
Local advantage or site value does not
influence the valuation, and movable
objects, such as machines or parts of
machinery, are excluded. Buildings
are divided into four classes, according
to the nature of the risk, and the pre-.
miums are graduated accordingly.
pwelling-houses and all buildings not
used for manufacturing purposes pay
q premium of so centimes per 1000
francs value or pence per 6 40. Or
binary manufactures and workshops
pay so confines per 1000 francs.
Places of greater hazard, such as brew
cries, distilleries, gas works, tobacco
factories, pay 1 franc 20 centimes per
1000 francs, while class four, including
chemical factories, dyeing works and
few more places where the risk is
still greater, pay at the rate of franc
80 confines. Where the hazard is eX-
ceptional and in the case of buildings
partly constructed of wood, an addi-
ton, which must never exceed francs
on each 1000 francs, is made.-Contem
