Comfort for Crows.

The simplest, cheapest and most effec-
tive remedy l know of Is to feed them,
says the New England Homestead. AS
soon as the corn is planted, scatter
about two quarts of shelled corn thinly
over the whole piece, and this amount
will be sufficient whether it is half
acre or ten. Every evening repeat the
operation, using one quart. Do not put
up any scarecrows, Irvine or anything
else to notify the crows that you have
corn planted ready for them. The
crows will not dig up the ground or
pull up the younger sprouts If they can
get 1t without this trouble. From a
peck to half bushel will be sufficient
to feed them until the crop is too large
to pull.

He Wanted to Know.

Mr.. Vest, of Missouri, was making
a speech in the Senate, when first Mr..
PETER arose and began to speak, and
then Mr.. Sherman, all three address
ing the chair at the same time. Mr..
Vest looked amazed, and after min
ute hesitation, called out:
'Mr. President, Mr.. President"
The president paid no attention to
Mr.. Vest, however, when the Missouri
member suddenly changed his tactics
by declaring his desire to make par
liamentary inquiry. This appeal was
not lost on the president.
1.-The gentleman from Missouri will
state it." he said, ignoring Mr.. PETER
and Mr.. Sherman.
II believe l was addressing the Sen
ate, and had the floor" said Mr.. Vest,
''but it seems that l have no longer
got it. If can't get it any other way,
l rise to parliamentary inquiry to
find out how lost it."
There was a ripple of laughter in
the chamber Mr.. Sherman apologized
for his interruption, and Mr.. Vest con-
tinued to hold the fort.-Washington

For EARLY Chickens.

1t Is not difficult matter to hatch
out chicks early with hens. 1t Is more
difficult matter to make them live and
grow when Matched in cold weather.
They must stay under the hen almost
constantly In order to keep warm, but
after few days the hen will not con-
tinually brood them, even IL cold, and
the chicks become chilled. The en-
craving shows device for keeping
the brood warm. 1t Is coop with

a coop on top of a hot bed. The bot"

that sufficient warmth will get up into

Cleanliness in Butter-Making.

We hear n great deal about the value
of bacteria cultures. 1t Is likely that
some good will result from their intro
duction; there Is danger, however, that
in the attempt to produce the best
result we overlook one of the oldest
cultures in existence, the culture of
cleanliness. We believe 1t was Wes-
ley who said cleanliness was next to
godliness, motto believed by many
good people to be found in the Bible,
says the Creamery Gazette. 1t con-
tains, in fact very strong element
of Bible doctrine. There Is no place,
however, where cleanliness Is so es-
sential as In the dairy. From the brush
ing of the cows adder until the tub
Is ready for shipment, cleanliness is
of the utmost Importance. Dirt on the
outside of the tub, no matter how fine
the butter may be, will seriously af
feet the price. Culture of cleanliness
cannot be purchased in quantity. 1t
can only be had by self-control, dill
gence, formation of the habit from
childhood up, and an instructive ha-
tired of dirt, and all the better IL the
instinct Is inherited. Let us get all
the good possible out of cultures and
starters and all that science can give
us on that line, but do not forget the
old and reliable culture of cleanliness.

The Profitable Cows.

The difference between a COW that
will produce 200 pounds of butter per
years at % cents per pound, and one
that will produce 300 pounds. is $50.
During ten years of the cows life there
Is difference in favor of the 300-pound
COW of $3.50. With twenty such cows
there would be q credit In favor of the
superior cows of $1,000 and with forty,
$4,000 would be the amount your bank

what 1t would with the COW that pro-
duced 200 pounds per year for ten

Thrifty Farming.

Farming ought to be done systemati-
cally, adopting those systems and plans
which have proved the most successful
in each individual case, says the Mar
ket Garden. Have time and place
for everything, and see that everything
is kept in its place when not in actual
use. And what must we do and have
in order to make farming pay? First
and foremost, we must give to the farm
and the farm business our personal at
tention. We must have bone and mus

Best Stock for Pears.

Pears are generally poorer growers
than apples, and many varieties have
to be double-worked in order to get a
good tree. This is particularly true of
some of the recent introductions of
winter pears, Barry and b. S. Fox, for
instance, which always have to be top
grated. One of the best, If not the
best, stocks for top-grafting is the Kief-
fer, but any strong, upright, vigorous
sort will do. The Kieffer is n quick
grower, hardy, and can be bought at a
reasonable price. 1t is as easy to graft
pears as apples, and any one can do it
with little study and practice.

Fort Hall agency, Ross Fork, Bing-

mustache of any man living. 1t meas
ures nine feet from tip to tip, four and
a half feet each way from the center OF
the lip. This mustache is Mr.. Browns
greatest joy and pride. 1t Is most care

attention anywhere. The Indians look
upon this enormously long mustache
with awe and reverence, believing Mr.
Brown to have been exceptionally bless
ed by God.
Mr.. Brown Is by birth a Virginian.
He was born in Loudoun County, elev-
en- miles west of Leesburg, near what
is known now as Round Hill. His faith

Barbour County, then in Virginia, but

Cow Peas Plowed in Fall or Spring.
Experiments conducted at the Ala
bama station show that approximately
six and one-half times more of nitrogen
Is found In the vines of cow peas in
the fall than in those left over to the
following spring. The reason of this Is
that the heterogeneous materials are lost
by decomposition. The materials of a
mineral character will be also lost from
the leaves being blown or washed to
other localities. The North Carolina
