At a party the hostess said to a guest:

You know his strong point is butter, on
which he has written a book"
The lady-guest graciously undertook the
task of entertaining the man, inwardly won
dering that he should be SO interested in
butter-of which she knew very little--when
his face indicated a mind given to much pro-
found thinking.
However, with butter in view, she began
on the weather, gradually got to the coun-
try, then on to a farm, from that to cows,
and at last to butter The man looked more
bored than ever, the magic word butter
producing not the slightest effect, and he
left her somewhat abruptly, and soon with
drew from the house.
Il. did my best she explained to the
hostess; II went through agonies to prove
that l was deeply interested in butter, but
it was all in vain
'Butter!" exclaimed the hostess. tfWhat
possessed you to talk to that man, of all
men, on butter? / told you he had just
written a book on Buddha. and / knew how
deeply you two were interested in the same

DANGER FROM DROUGHT.
New System of Cultivation by Which

New System of Cultivation by Which
1t May Be Mtnimized.
Those who have studied the conserva-
ton of moisture in the soil claim to be
able to raise summer crops almost with
out rainfall during their growing pc
Rod. Summed up in few words, their
method consists of deep blowing, thor
ough preparation and then frequent
stirring of the surface. In other words,
keeping a mulch of dust on the soil.
Those who have succeeded best make a
rule to stir their surface every time
there is enough rainfall to cause the
forming of crust. But it is probable
that in the long dry spells even oftener
than that would pay. Moisture escapes
from the earth through little thread
like pipes, which are formed as soon as
the ground begins to die. If the top
soil is frequently stirred these pipes or
tubes are broken off, and instead of es-
Gaping the moisture raises to the top
and is retained by the surface soil
The truth of this can be easily dem
onstrated by anyone who will try IT.
Take a small piece of ground, say, ten
feet square, and divide it into two equal
parts. Leave one part uncultivated; the
other break deep, then after chopping it
fine with hoe and rake keep the surface
constantly stirred. If there should be n
long dry season test the amount of
moisture in each by digging down to the
depth of foot. 1t will be found as hard
as flint, while the other will be quite
moist up to within a few inches of the
surface.-Colman's Rural World.

One can add to the length OF this house
as needed, indefinitely, and hold to
the plan. The troughs are made so
that you can put the feed in all along
the length and have all one side to YOUR
self, and not be pouring swin on the
pigs necks and heads. 4 full apprecia-
ton of the merits of this trough only
comes with using it You see, the
pigs can't get their feet in the feed
and can't crowd each other or stand
with side TO the trough to keep others
out, but must stand up and eat as so
many COWS in stanchions, and can't
waste the feed. The cost, of course,
varies with price Of lumber in different

B. . O. improvements Completed.
The improvements on the Main Line of
the Baltimore and Ohio, west of, and be-
tween Martinshurg, w Va, and North
Mountain. have been completed Novem-
Der Ist They cover a distance of nearly
four miles, starting three miles west Of Mar
tinsburg. and extending some distance
west of Myers Hole, which Is near the North
Mountain station. At Myers Hole the line
was changed, taking out some very OBJ
iectionahIe curvature, and the Toadbed
raised nearly fifteen feet, eliminating two
grades of u feet per mile which came to-
gether at Myers Hole and substituting there
TOR an almost level track. This point on the
road has always been dangerous one, and
many freight wrecks have occurred there.
Apart from doing away with the dangerous
feature of two sharp down grades coming
together. as was the case IN this instance,
the saving IN operation of the road by the
change viii be very large, as it enables the
tons per train to be greatly increased and
reduces the liability of accident to the mlfl-
irnum At Tablers the road bed has been
lowered about Is feet, and the same at
Tabbs, besides taking out objectionable curF-
allure and reducing the rate of grades at
these points from = feet per mile to 10 feet
per mile thus increasing the cars that can
be hauled per train. Though these improve
ments have cost quite sum OF money, the
expenditure Is fully justified by the great
saving in operation.

ROTATION OF CROPS.
without 1t the Fertility of Sail Is
Exhausted Very Soon.

Exhausted Very Soon.
What is often spoken of as WORKOUT
land is land that has been run a long
time to one crop so that its capacity for
producing that particular crop is seri-
ously impaired. says Kansas Farmer
In a broader sense the land is not worn
out, for if turned over to the produc-
ton of crops of different character it
readily manifests its old-time product
iveness. This creates the demand for
crop rotation, and the man who fails
to recognize this demand fails at the
most vital point in crop culture There
can be no doubt that every farmer in
the country is continually suffering a
loss of production by reason of its own
er's falling short in coming up TO this
most rigid of natures requirements.
This law is absolute in its operation,
and the farmer is necessarily loser to
the extent to which he goes in in
fringing upon it. But in order the more
effectually to enforce her dictum in
such matters nature has placed other
obstacles in the way of those who ig-
norantly or wilfully ignore her laws.
Thus, for instance. the farmer who runs
his fields long TO corn invites serious
trouble with the corn root louise; the
chinch bug suggests that the farmer
had better put corn where the small
grain was before. The cut worm is
an evil of the same sort, and so we
might mention a score of such warn
ings to the farmer which say. you can
go thus far but no farther. Many of the
weed pests are to be classed in the
same list. If the farmer viii keep
them in a state of subjugation so that
crop raising is profitable he must con-
tinually change his crops from enc
field to another. It would seem a sim
pie lesson to learn, but host of farm
ers fail to act upon it.
