planned Maria Was SATISFIED
The wife of a well-to-do Vermont
farmer called the attention of her hus-
band to a newspaper article describing
a wedding, where the groom had COM
pensated the minister for his services
in farm produce. GLOW ridiculous!"
commented the good lady.
Her husband smiled. "It isn't the
ordinary thing" he remarked, but
then people who live in glass houses
mustn't throw stones"
What do you mean, Jonas Farmer"'
asked his wife, sharply.
"Well," returned Jonas, "when mar
ried you I paid the minister two pigs
and he gave me IS cents change" And
with that Mr.. Farmer burst into
laugh, to the great discomfort of his
wife.
give lived with you 80 years and I
never heard that before" she said, land
1 should like to know what you mean
by it. believe you're saying that just
to hector me-"
"No, M'ri," answered her spouse,
when his mirth had somewhat subsidized.
I'll tell you how it happened"
"You know had been running the
farm for father before we were mar
ried, and Parson Steadman, who mar
ried US, had just come to town. He
wanted couple of pigs and came over
to our place to get them. 1 was gone,
but the hired man sold them to him by
weight, and they amounted to just
$10.35.
"Parson Steadman told the man that
he hadn't the money by him, but would
be over again in few days and would
settle, and the hired man told him that
would be all right.
"Well, when we were married gave
the parson brand-new ten-dollar bill,
one that I had got clean from the bank
for that purpose.
"Next morning bright and early over
came the parson to our place. He asked
the hired. man if I was at home, and
when I came out he was pretty much
surprised to see that I was the same
man that he had married the night
before. He turned kind of red and
looked little queer, and said he had
come over to settle for those two pigs,
and he took from his pocket that very
ten-dollar bill that,I gave him the night
before and 35 cents besides and handed
them to me.
81 burst out laughing, and he looked
kind of sober for minute, then he
burst out laughing, too.
"'If had recognized you as the man
I had owed for the pigs when you were
at my house last night he said, Il could
have handed you the 35 cents and we
should have been square
$50, you see, Mri, that while we went
through the form of passing money
back and forth you were practically
bought for two pigs, minus IS cents."-

ouick Ripening peaches.

J.H. Hale, the greatest peach grower
on earth, gets ripe peaches two weeks
earlier by the following method: In
the middle of the growing season put
a strong wire around large arm of q
tree and twist it fairly tight. This
checks the flow of sap and causes fruit
buds to form early and in greatnumber.
The fruit on the branches of this arm
will ripen two weeks earlier than that
OH the untreated branches and will be
much more highly colored. But this
part of the tree will be so weakened by
the treatment that it should be cut
away after fruiting that new shoots
may come and take its place. Thus one
large arm or limb of tree may be
forced each year.

HINTS FOR BEEKEEPERs.

The first swarm is always the cream
of the colony.
Wherever the young brood is there
you will find the queen.
1t is poor economy to store goodwhite
honey in unclean vessels.
The Italians stick closely to the
combs even when handled.
After the first swarm issues cut out
all the queen cells but one.
Wherever a farmer, dairyman or hor-
ticulturist can make q living bee man

Bees swarm because they get so pop
uious in the hive that there is not room
for them to store honey, rear brood or
be comfortable in the hive.
Especially in the middle of the day
when the bees are at work, approach a
hive from the sides or rear, so as not
to interfere with them in their fight.
Never leave a newly hived swarm
near the place where ittclustered The
safest plan is to remove it at once to

FEEDING FOR EGGS.
why Green Bones should De Use
Much More Extensively.

why Green Bones Should De Used
Much More Extensively.
The profit is always sure when every
detail is correct. Cheap food must not
be estimated by the price paid for it
in the market. The cheapest food for
the poultryman or farmer is that which
gives him the largest number of eggs.
It matters not what the food costs, so
long as the eggs correspond. 1t is the
product by which we should measure
and estimate.
Green bones are not used as extern
siveIy as they should be, because grain
can be obtained with less difficulty and
at a low cost, but as producing ma
terial the bone is far superior to grain;
nor does the bone really cost more than
grain in some sections. The cutting OF
the bone into available sizes is now
rendered an easy matter, as the bone
cutter is within the reach Of all. Bones
fresh from the butcher have more or
less adhering, and the more of such
meat the better, as it will cost no more
per pound than the bone, while the
combination of both meat and bone is
almost q perfect food from which to
produce eggs.
If the farmer can get two extra eggs
per week from each hen in winter, he
will make large profit. We may add
that if tae product of each hen can
be increased one egg per week only in
winter. that one egg will pay for all
the food she can possibly consume, and
it therefore pays to feed the substances
that will induce the hens TO lay. II
the hens are consuming food and yet
are producing no eggs, they will cause
loss to their owner; and this happens
every winter on a large number OF
farms. The hens receive plenty OF
food, but not of the proper kind.
A pound of cut green bone is sutfi-
cient for 16 hens one day, which means
that one cent will pay fer the bone for
that number of fowls. If one quart of
grain be fed at night to 16 hens, and
one pound of bone in the morning, it
should be ample for each day in win
ter. In summer only the bone need
be given. Such a diet provides fat,
starch, nitrogen, phosphates, lime and
all the substances required to enable
the hens to lay eggs. AS an egg is
worth about three cents in winter, it
is plain that it is cheaper to feed bone
than grain, as the greater number OF
eggs not only reduces the total cost,
but increases the profit as well.
The bone-cutter is as necessary to
the poultryman as his feed mill. 1t
enables him to use an excellent and
cheap food, and gives him a profit
where he might otherwise be COM
PEELED to suffer a loss. 1t is claimed
that bone-cutter pays for itself in
eggs, and really costs nothing. Bones
are now one of the staple articles of
food for poultry, and no ration should
have them omitted. They are food,
grit and lime, all combined in one, and
the hens will leave all other foods to
receive the cut bone. If cut fine, even
chicks and duclllings will relish such
excellent food, while turkeys grow rap
idly on it. To meet with success re-
quires the use of the best materials,
and green bone beats all other sub
stances as food for poultry.-Rural
