MISPLACED ECONOMY.

Il IL Usually Pr.ctscsd BY the Fair
There Ii certainly such 4 thing as an
exaxgeration of economy and . mis-
placement Of effort. as in the case Of
plaster at home out of tightly stretched
black silk and gum arabic or the
one who gives US q long formula for
the compounding Of = glue to mend
china, says the New York Post. An in
vestment OF . dime around the corner
from anywhere procures supply OF
either commodity that will last . year.
Such thrift is like that Of the woman
who bought cents worth Of sugar Of
lead to set the dye in some calico. She
used half and her economy would not
permit her to throw the rest away. In
stead she tucked 1t under the edge Of 3
carpet, where she thought 1t would be
safe, and forgot all about 1t. Later she
left home on . visit. She had been
away only one day when. in thinking.
as women will. of the impossible things
she could worry over she suddenly re-
membered the poison, and at once
found It q very good and rational cause
for anxiety. How easy for one Of the
children to hnd 1t In one Of those polk

the vexing thought came. and she was

The value Of pea vines as eilnge crop

to sheep or lambs. The vines are cut when
the crop is In best condition for canning.

Frank Benton, one Of the most prominent
cattle men Of Wyoming. who has recently
purchased 1900 head Of cattle. says there
has been 4 great decrease of cattle shipped
Into the state, owing to the scarcity Of mar

breeders to hold their cows In order to In
crease the supply. He attributes TIE riss
In the price Of cattle to the fact that the

dried potatoes. the original weight Of which
was about 5.OOO.OO0 pounds. The Idea Of
drying potatoes for shipment Ia not novel.
