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 80 per
cent. Of the hoppers were killed by the
net method while working with 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.

woys Leads - 0aeeess.
One saving daiTyman, not = stlngy
one, win make moro money than two
extravagant ones.
First, daiRyman should be saving OF
his cows, ~ COW well cared for viii 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 %
left exposed to violent rainstWms, 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, Il
damaging to the milk yield, for have
noticed that cows always shrink in
milk after exposure to a storm. Wise
economy calls for measures that will
obviate this. namely, = dry, warm shell
ter.
Be saving also of your feed. For in.
stance, in giving mich stock corn fod.
der, when they trample it under their
hoofs and waste as much as they eat, it
is the dairyman who is wasteful, 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 it will support. On farm not
long ago heard them talking about
the cow pasture. horse pasture, sheep
pasture and calf lot. l knew the owner
was on the right track, as it implied
that he kept his stock separated. Mich
cows never do as well when compelled
to pasture in common with other cat
tie.
Then, again, do not waste the milk.
Even a drop of milk, which may repre-
sent the growth of one grass root, can
net afford to be wasted. In the 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 q drop.
1t is not a 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 50 well that none is wasted
by s0uring or tainting.
Be saving Of the butter you make.
In figuring on good yield of 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
done by skimming loppered milk. under
the supposition that 1t is economy,
when it really is the grossest extrava-
gance, for you can never make first
class butter that way.
Remember that milk, cream and but
ter saved is money earned, SO exercise
wise economy in all branches of dairy
ing.-George E. Newell. in America

OF the toad's food consists Of harmful
insects. and IL per cent. was of such
beneficial insects as bees, spiders, lady

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 head waitress is beginning to
rival the proverbial theological student
in the dining-rooms Of New England
hotels. She occasionally appears in
New Jersey. In a noted hostelry in the
Berkshire hills the long dining-room
acknowledges the benignant smile OF
the head waitress. Clothed entirely in
black, with only line of white at
throat and wrists, her costume is diff
ferentiated from the uniform of her
troop of assistants. All the other wait
resses are in white duck or pique, stiffly
starched (no fiimsy organizes or Vic
torian lawns being used). Against the
long wall of the dining-room is row of
well-separated high stools. There is one
by each table, and on this the waitress
is perched when not attending to her
table. It looks odd at first to see them
perched up high when not on duty. but
hotel guests are not always punctual
at coming to meals, and the arrange
ment is thoroughly humane. The height
Of the seat and its position prevent

TO ADDRESS A LADY.


Ways That Are Admissible and Ways
That Are HAD.
The word "miss" is an abomination,
unless followed by the name of the
young lady, and when used at all is
merely an exhibition of groveling OBJ
sequiousness on the part of the person
speaking. 1t is pity that the English
language does not have an admissible
word corresponding to the French
'mademoiselle" or the German frau
lein," for nobody will pretend to say
that "miss" has, from usage of the cor
rectly speaking class, attained the dis
tinction. The nearest approach to q
good word for use in addressing .
woman is madam" which is so incor-
rectly supposed to be applicable only to
such women as have entered the mat
rimonial state. The argument that it
would be absurd to address q girl of IL
or IA years of age as madam" may be
answered by the assertion that it is not
necessary to give child Of that tender
age title at any time. The expression
in letter-writing: "My dear madam. or
"Dear madam" is merely a matter Of
form, and there is really very much less
reason to suppose that she is 'dear"
than to assume that she is entitled to
madam" We do not contend that
madam" is the very best word that
could be invented for the general char
acterization of women, but it is un-
doubtedly the only word in the Ian
guage that will tide over the confusion
created by the carelessness of word
makers. Another perplexing question
has been raised by a controversy over
the respective merits Of ''lady" and
madam" In Boston the fiat has gone
forth that hereafter street car con-
ductors shall give the preference to
madam" and this is heartily to be
commended. The word 'lady" is quite
as abominable as the word "miss" as q
form Of address. and no well-informed
woman hears the remark: Heres
your change. lady," or fare. lady"
without the shuddering conviction that
she is figuring in cheap melodrama or
is the heroine Of q servant girls ro-
nance in story paper. It is not to BE-
supposed that the word ''lady" Is q
form of address will be Immediately
eradicated after 50 many years Of suf-
ferance and perversion, but we should
like to note the issuance of q general
order in the department stores looking
to its abolition. As for sales ladies
and cash ladies and washer ladies, we
must deal gently with them, for they
have few comforts IN life and are en-
titled to our utmost consideration and
good humor.-Chicago Post.

Jacob Bsieker, q RAuchtown, had
quite unique a. well a. thrilling ex-
pcrience the other day, which - y
at loss to account for. and has no
desire to again repeat. Mr.. Bricker r.
a laborer. and nsthe day in question,
feeling somewhat indisposed, did not
go to work. He was lounging In his
house, when he heard peculiar noise
in the third story, or attic. Supporting
at first that the noise was created by
mice and rates frolicking about, he
paid little attention to II, but the con-
tinued and increasing discordant
sc-eeching, combined with the swish Of
wings and an everlasting pit-pat, ~ il
made by birds flying against some
thing. aroused Bricker sufficiently to
institute an investigation. Alone he
went to the attic and was at once nom
plused and astounded to see the small
room literally black with bats. flying
helter-skelter and attacking every in
animate object in sight.
When Bricker first saw the bats he
he had no thought Of self-protection.
but imagined that they would brighten
at his approach and leave. Hardly had
he gotten fairly into the room until the
bats, in perfect swarms, few at him.
Their sharp claws and stiff wings a.
they few in his face and alighted on his
hands made many painful abrasions.
and 1t was with difficulty the man was
enabled to secure a short stick, luckily
lying near, with which to defend him-
self.
Striking right and left. Bricker went
for the mouse-like birds, and with every
stroke dull thud on the floor told Of
one less bat. But the birds were in
fer fight, and the more killed the more
it appeared came at the man. just
how long the struggle continued Brick
er has no idea Of reckoning. It could
not have been more than five minutes,
but to him it seemed like an hour or
more. Finally. when the swarm Of bats
began to grow manifestly smaller UNI
der the sure stroke of Brokers club,
they began to scatter, and with one
parting screech took a hasty leave.
Covered with blood on face and hands
and suffering no little pain. Broker
took a survey of the room and for the
first time realized the execution he had
been able to do.
The floor was covered with dead and
disabled bats, the latter still screening,
Hopping about and endeavoring to get
away. These were dispatched as soon
as possible and without any mercy. and
then the man made count Of the dead
birds. He found So in all, and he is
positive that fully twice that many es-
capped. The bats entered the attic
through an open window. but where
they all came from is a mystery.
There are a number of caves In thu
immediate vicinity, but they have most
~ been explored and very few bats
were seen. And then the time OF their
visit being made in daytime is another
strange occurrence, as bats habitually
fiy at night. or after twilight begins to
fall.-Philadelphia Times.
