Delegate Catron of New Mexico, said
that under. the Mckinley law his terri
tory had produced some 10000, 600
pounds of wool per year. Under the
present law, the production hes de-
creased, as had the price. The deere ase
in the latter item was about II cents
per pound.
j. w Smith OF Layton, Utah, presi-
dent of the woolgrowers' association,
stated that what Delegate C"iron said
OF his condition in New Mexico applied
to his state. What the woolgrowers of
Utah wanted was fixed tariff, also'a
specific duty on wool.

to knock the hoppers down upon the

and as the insects fly few skillful
strokes with the net will catch most
of them, and they may be crushed or
emptied into kerosene.
Prof. Woodwork says that the net
and the fan methods are the only ones
which are at all practical for summer
use. He observed that nearly 90 per
cent. of the hoppers were killed by the
net method while working with a gang
large enough to cover about five acres
a day. About half of the gang of men
were green hands, part white and part
Chinese, and at the rate of wages the
cost per acre would be between Is and
20 cents. This is an illustration of the
value Of scientific agricultural work.
Such pests are sure to come. The av'
erage farmer cannot afford time and
study needed to understand how to
fight such insects or diseases. There
must be scientific men somewhere with
nothing to do but to study these mat
tiers and give their results freely to

A process for toughening glasses that
can be very simply followed at home is
TO immense the glasses in large vessel
full of cold water; place this upon the
fire; let the water reach boiling point
and, having taken off the pan, let the
glass remain in until the water has
grown cold once more. This is very
effective method of annealing glass.
Dissolve half an ounce Of camphor in
one pound of lard; take off the scum;
then stir in as much black lead as will
give the mixture dark hue; rub iron

this preparation; let it remain on for a
day, and finally dry off with a cloth.
The metal will then keep clean and

tinue with the cabbage and salt till the
keg is full, stamping down each layer;
allow one pound of salt for 20 large
heads of cabbage, lay piece of muslin
over the cabbage and board with a
heavy stone on top the muslin. A good
plan is to nail two boards together and
saw them round in the shape of cover,
which should be about a half inch
smaller than the top of the keg or bar

press it down. Let the kraut stand As

of salt and water, about two tablespoon
fuls salt to one gallon of water, and
pour it over the cabbage. Place The keg

that the cabbage is always covered with
brine, otherwise it will not keep

Good Luck Dates from His Marriage
to n Muscular Woman.
"Get me wife," was the strange re-
quest made of the agent of the North
American Transportation and Trading
company at Fort Cudahy one day last
spring by an indolent miner named
Mat Simpson.
"What kind of a wife do you want?"
asked the agent.
"Any one, so long as she's white, can
speak English, and is not afraid to
work. replied Simpson.
Simpson had struck good claim,
but would only work it enough to keep
him supplied with dust for drinking
and gambling purposes. So long as he
had an ounce of gold left he would
spend his time in carousing, and when
full Of whisky was ugly and dangerous.
The agent at Fort Cudahy thought it
would be pity for any woman to get
such worthless chap for husband,
but he communicated Simpsons order
to the purser of the next boat that came
along, and was surprised to hear him
say:
81 know the very woman for him.
I'll bring her up on the back trip If he
will advance the fare"
Simpson put up the money, and on the
return trip the purser escorted ashore
stalwart woman of 40 years who had
been working as cook in a camp down
the river. The courtship was short.
Simpson had good prospects and the
woman knew it. They were married in
due form and went to keeping house at
once. For two days Mrs. Simpson did
not interfere with her husbands com
ings and goings, but on the third morn
ing, when he gave signs of starting for
the saloon, she put herself before the
door and said:
"Tnke your tools, Mat, and go to work
in the shaft"
Mat was foolish enough to say that
he hadn't married a woman to be bossed
by. her. When he recovered his senses
he had two black eyes, bruised nose
and big lump on his head. Without
word he shouldered his tools and went
straight to his claim, Mrs. Simpson fol
lowing to see that he did not get of the
road. For three months he worked
hard, and when he asked the agent tt

ways Leads TO success.
One saving dairyman, not stingy
sne, will make more money than two
eytravagant ones.
First, dairyman should be saving Of
his cows, as COW we'll cared for will be
useful and profitable animal for sew
eral years longer than one i'll fed, i'll
housed and i'll treated.
Even in summer cows should not be-
left exposed to violent transforms, but
should be sheltered where there is less
danger of their being struck by light
ming, as when huddled together under
trees, or being chilled by prolonged
drenching. The latter, especially, is
damaging to the milk yield, for have
noticed that cows always shrink in
milk after exposure to storm. Wise
economy calls for measures that will
obviate this, namely, a dry, warm shell
ter.
Be saving also of your feed. For in.
stance, in giving milch stock corn fod-
der, when they trample it under their
hoofs and waste as much as they eat, it
Is the dairyman who is wa steful, not
the animals. / find that the most
economical way of feeding corn fodder
is to spread it before the cattle when in
stanchions, and only give them what
they will eat up clean.
To be saving of the feed in the pas
lures don't put more stock into the
field than twill support. On farm not
long ago l heard them talking about
the cow pasture, horse pasture, sheen
pasture and calf lot. I knew the owner
was on the right track, as it implied
that he kept his stock separated. Mich
cows never do us well when comp alled
to pasture in common with other cat
tie.
Then, again, do not waste the milk.
Even drop of milk, which may repre-
sent the growth of one grass root, can
not afford to be wasted. In tie first
place secure all of the milk from the
cows udder by patient stripping. The
richest comes last, and you cannot af-
ford to lose even drop.
1t is nota stingy course to see that the
milk pals, pans, cans, etc, are well
cleaned; and that your hired hands are
so kind to the cows that the animals do
not frequently kick over the milk pals
and spill the fluid. Perhaps the most
efficient way to save milk is to preserve
its quality so well that none is wasted
by souring or tainting.
BE saving of the butter you make.
In figuring on a good yield CT butter
from the cream, do not make the mis-
take of mixing some of the casein of
milk in with the butter fat. This is

Che supposition that it is economy,
when it really is the grossest extrava-
gance, for you can never make first.

The careful shelter of the girls of the

fore we can bring back those ideal in

which existed and made those influ-

more familiar with their daughters
than they are. The multifarious out
side duties into which women of this
latter day have gone have not served to
strengthen the tie between mother and
daughter. If anything, they have
loosened the relation. The colonial
mother lived in her home; the mother
of to-day lives too much outside of it.
The daughter in the Knickerbocker

mother; the daughter of to-day is all
too often the last thought of her
mother. Such changes in home affairs
are not marks of progress. In fact,

DIET OF THE TOAD.
Wasps, Beetles and Yellow Jackets
Compose Its Menu.

Compose Its Menu.
Bulletin 46 of Hatch (Mass.) station
says the toad lives ten to forty years,
does not begin to produce young till the
fourth year, but then lays over 1000
eggs year. 1t has Lived two years
without food, but cannot live long un.
der water. 1t never takes dead or mo.
tionless food. 1t takes its food by
means of its tongue alone, and it oper.
atcs this so rapidly that the eye cannot
follow its motions. 1t captures and de-
YOURS bees, wasps, yellow jackets, ants,
beetles, worr's, spiders, snails, bugs,
grasshoppers, crickets, weevils, cater.
pillars, moths, etc.
The station examined with micro.
scope the contents Of the stomachs OF
seven toads in April. 80 in May, &C in
June, 26 in July, ten in August and
seven in September-14 in all. On an
average it was found that 80 per cent
Of the toad's food consists of harmful
insects, and II per cent. was of such
beneficial insects as bees, spiders, lady
bugs, etc.
The stomach that doesn't finch at
yellow jackets, wasps, blister beetles
and click beetles or pinch-bugs would
seem to be prepared for anything in the
insect line, and it doubtless is.
The quantity of food that toad's
stomach can accommodate is remark
able. In one were found N myriapods,
in another So army worms, in another
65 gypsy moth caterpillars, in another
nine ants, six cut worms, five myria-
pods, six sow bugs, one weevil and one
wire worm beetle.
In "a hours the toad consumes enough
food to fill its stomach four times.
Feeding at the rate above mentioned
a single toad will in three months de-
YOUR over 10000 insects. If every ten
of these would have done one cent dam
age the toad has saved ten dollars.
Evidently the toad is a valuable
friend to the farmer, gardener and
fruit grower, and can be made espe-
cially useful in greenhouse, garden and
| berry patch.
