the sight.
Vollendam. Holland, Is one OF the oew
places In the world that have never
known a bicycle, or, at least, 1t never
had until lately. Nollendam IL a little
fishing village. The people who live
there are the oldest. most old-fashion-
ed folks imaginable. The men wear
magenta waistcoats and remarkable
trousers, lbuttoned with huge silver hut
tons that are heirlooms. In vollendam
"A man never loses his trouser button,
hut II he happens to do 80 search Is
ordered all through the village, and no
one rests until the button has been
found and returned.
vollendam is the quaintest village,
visitors say, they ever saw. There are
funny little peak-roofed houses, with
the walls painted bright yellow and
covered with old Delft ware that the
people will not sell. The women wear
aprons of bright blue, with piece Mt
the top,of the brightest possible plaid.
The bodices are of lowered chintz OF
bright yellow, embroidered in different
colors, and even tile sabots are grass
green or yellow.
Thelittle girls dress exactly like their
mothers, and so do the little boys, in
skirts and all, until they are Z, when
they are put In boomers: and the only
way they can be told Is by little disc
the size Of dollar embroidered on the
back of their tight little baby caps.
The people of Nollendam newer take
up new things. But few days ago
there was "A sensation in Vollendam,
and 1t was caused by the arrival of two
American girls. They were blOomer
girls, who came over from Paris to see
Holland. One Of them was from Chi
cago and the other from a Southern
city. They had heard that there We're
strange places in Holland, and they set
out to find one of them.
When these girls arrived in Vollen-
dam they went to the hotel, and there
prepared to go forth; but when they
came out they found a crowd OF Vol
lenders around the door. Asking some
AOut WHhL Wtb .Cht iuLttOlt SANy AoNea'N -"
the reply:
''It Is your bicycles"
VOllendam never saw a bicycle be-
fore.
When they learned that Vollendam
had never before seen wheel, they
sion they kindly consented to give ex-
hibitlons of some simple feats. Their
small tricks, that are known to every
American girl who rides n wheel, filled
the Vollenders with wonder, and one
of them, more venturesome than the
saddle. OF course, she had to be held
there, and this only increased her Won
der Mt the performance of the Ameri-
can girls.
When asked II they would like to
have bicycles introduced in Vollendam,
they looked wistful, but shook their
heads and glanced furtively mt the men,
as much rs to say, "'They would never
allow it,
One of the little boys Of VOllendam
cried when the American girls started
away, 80 the Chicago girl good-natE-
edly brought back her wheel and put
the little fellow ON 1t, allowing him to
rest his big wooden shoes on the ped
ais This 80 delighted him that he stood
mp aud lost his balance and fell over
the handle bars. He pointed to his
wooden shoes and laughed, as much as
to say that they were the reason why
wheels were not known in Noliendam.

Where hogs are fed near the house or
barn, the fowls are apt to go among
them and eat n large portion Of the
feed. An Indiana farmer has solved
the problem by constructing feeding
pen so that the hogs and pigs could go
In and out at pleasure, but fowls OF all
kinds We're excluded. In the Orange
Judd Farmer he tells how 1t Is made.
Build a feeding floor several inches
above the surface of the ground and
inclose with a tight board fence sur
mounted with pickets a foot or more
long. Make one or more openings near
the ground FOR the hogs and hang a
door, n, from the top so that Ii will

er straps or hinges that work easily
will answer. The hogs will soon learn

plant what he had harvested the pre-

and one-half acres in. He says that
in ordinary seasons this wheat will

acre. He intends to place it on the

ALL things conspire this year to
brighten the lot of the American
farmer. A good average crop is be-
ing harvested, while prices are higher
than they have been for years. Short
crops in other wheat producing toun-
tries have caused the advance in price
of this cereal. India, where the fam
inc is still raging, has no wheat to
export this year, Australia has barely
enough for home consumption, Rus
sia has light crop and will notsbe, a
formidable competitor III suppl ing
western Europe, and Argentine will
have very little wheat for export.
South America has even become a
heavy purchaser of wheat from the
United States. The other day an or
der from South America for Is, 900
bushels of wheat came to Duluthaa1,d
large shipments are made thither
from the Pacific coast. And the Eu-
ropean demand is expected to be at
least 30,0G0,00O bushels more than
last year. With better prices the con
ditions of the western farmer will be
improved, and be an important factor
in bringing about revival Of bust
ness and the long looked for pros
perity.
