rangement Make two circles, one of
the 10 red eggs and within this a circle
OF the eight gilded eggs. The eggs
must be placed at equal distances apart,
the outer circle measuring about eight
feet in diameter and the inner one four
feet, and the white egg must be placed
in the center of the inner circle. The
eggs having been arranged the COM
pany is divided into couples and each in
turn try the dance.
The first couple take position within
outer circle-that is, between the red
eggs and the gilded ones. and waltz
around the circle three times, keeping
within the space between the two
circles. Entering the inner circle they
waltz three times around the central
egg, and all this must be done without
breaking or greatly disturbing any of
the eggs.
When an egg is broken or knocked
more than IL inches from its position
the dancers give place to the next
couple. The broken ones are not re-
placed, but the displaced ones are set
in order. When each couple has had a
turn and none has accomplished the
feat OF dancing without breaking an
egg, all change partners and the trial
begins again.
The first couple who 60 through the
dance without breaking or disturbing
the circles win each a first prize, posi-

BUSINESS METHODS.
Why Farmers Shos.Id Look After
Their Insurance Policies.

Farmers sometimes forfeit their i'm
surance by neglect. While the mu-
Jual companies do not. as we under
stand it, hold farmers TO the strict
letter OF the law. as do the stock COM
panies. but so more on the equities Of
the case IN their settlements than on
strictly gal points. nevertheless 1t
IS wise 10 have everything straight
at the start and keep ii straight For
example. many farmers during the
year make additions TO their build
;rgs. The company should be in
formed of this fact and additional
insurance, whether against fire. light
sine or tornado, should be taken out
% cover the increased value Many
..arners sell or trade properties during
che year and this vitiates their policy
lnless an assignment is made. returned
20 the company, and a new policy
issued. Where farmers do not sell
outright they frequently deed por-
tions OF their property TO their wives
or members Of their families. thus
making a change of title Esd in each
case the policy should state the facts.
-NhQt4aSF ludiEGf. In making out q
policy always see that the property
that YOU wish to protect is specifically
mentioned III the policy ana that it
is so mentioned that there can be no
dispute about it. Fer example. we
heard of a case lately that is likely to
lead to litigation in a stock company.
The farmer SO insured carried so much
insurance on grains. A fire occurred
and in addition to the grains lot of
clover seed was burned. The question
came up at once. is clover seed a grain?
1t will be very difficult to prove that
it is. Therefore the policy should read
grain and clover seed, or any other
kind of seed
Another matter. Always Keep your
policy where you viii know where to
get it should it be needed for any pur-
pose and if possible keep it in fire
proof safe. Bankers usually take care
of papers Of this kind and it would be
a good thing to leave your policies
together with your banker, or in some
other place where they are as safe as
possible from fire.-Wallace's Farmer.

ly should be a meadow for pasture. The
remaining six acres will make enough
of field for the cultivation of corn,
wheat, potatoes and root crops.
The products of six acres under culti-
walton in the west where irrigation is
practiced may safely be estimated as
follows: Two acres of wheat. 100 bush
els; one acre of corn, so bushels; one
acre of oats, 20 bushels; one-half acre

Utah, where small farming is praeticed.
The yields are reported almost double
the figures given, in some instances.

trees. These serve as a protection
against wind and storm, and are as wall

these several tracts cannot be esti-
mated, as SO much depends upon proper
culture and the market.
Experienced farmers in Utah who
practice intensive cultivation give the
following figures on Yields to the acre:
Strawberries, 5000 to $1,000; small
fruits, $500 to $500; apples. 400 to COO
bushels The stone fruits produce in
proportion to other varieties. One man
with three acres of grapes reports an
average yield of $3.50 an acre every year,
The grapes are sold green, made into
wine and raisins. Peaches are sold as
green fruit and evaporated.

expenses, ride in nice carriages. wear
