Never do puttering jobs when the
main work of the farm demands your
attention.
One of the most frequent mistakes
made is that of sowing too little clover
seed to the acre.
There is no place on earth where SO
many pleasures can be enjoyed as on
the farm, and yet it is true that on
some of them it is the very place where
they are least found.
The farmer should be temperate in
work and eating as well as in drinking.
Temperance does not merely mean alb.
staining from too much drink, but to
be temperate in all things.
How many farmers know and yet
ignore the idea that constant cropping
impoverishes the soil; that weeds him
der the growth of crops; that half-fed
cattle are as Improbable as they are
unsightly?
Do you wish to see your photo.
graph? If you do, look at your farm,
and ''behold the man" A farm speaks
louder than a photograph and tells
every passer-by what sort Of o man
the owner is.
One of the worst ruts to get into is
that of raising scrub stock. When
selling time comes those who are
breeders of such stock can generally
be heard to remark: sit is just my
luck to always strike a bad market u
No matter what kind of a planter is
in use on the farm, if it does not do
good work it should be discarded.
One that runs heavy or one hat checks
out Of line and cannot be adjusted to
overcome these difficulties should be
laid by.
Nothing better for the growing
swine than the waste products of the
dairy, and in no way can these waste
products be SC adyantageously utilized
as in feeding growing swine; therefore
swine raising should always accom-.
pany dairy farming.
Happy is the man Just now who is
loaded with plenty of good cattle
Better be loaded with good cattle thar
with cares. If present prospects in
this business are realized, the owner
of good cattle will have few cares to
trouble him other than those resulting
from a prosperous transaction.
First workings of hoed crops are
perhaps the most important of all and
should be thorough. The entire r
face between and in the rows should
be covered with harrow, weeder OF
cultivator; for the most effective weed
killing may be done just as the tiny
weedlets are lifting their heads and
beginning to breathe.
Level culture of corn should be
practiced as much as possible. The
new ~cultivators have three small
shovels on each side in place of the
two larger mes found on the older
cultivators. Killing up like sweet
potato ridges is a thing of the past, and
the plan has gone to sleep with its
cousin the bar-share pillow. Let them
sleep in peace.

HOG WAS BADLY FOOLED.
Mean Trick that Was Played on an limo

Mean Trick that Wa Played on an limo
cent shoat.
ssThe meanest trick that was ever
invented was played on a hog" said
Uncle John, as he lighted his pipe
and settled back in his chair for an
hour after dinner smoke. "A neigh
Dor of ours owned this hog, and he
was q mighty wise critter. as my story
will show. This neighbor also owned
a large cornfeld, among other posses
sions, and this cornfield was well
guarded by a fence with one gate.
Well, this old porker had the liberty
of a field next to the corn patch, and
the farmer was astonished one day to
find the hog wandering around in the
forbidden territory. The gate had not
been opened and there was no appar-
emit break in the fence. Farmer Joe
drove him out, but next day he was
back again. He chased him up and
down the fence but to no purpose.
The hog would go ont only through
the gate, though it was certain he had
not entered by that way.
GARNER Joe was curious, and de-
cided TO keep a watch and solve the
porcine mystery. In-the early morn
ing the hog skirted the fence until he
came to a huge log which formed part
of it. The log was hollow, and by
some effort the hog squeezed through
and entered upon the promised land.
Nothing could induce him to go back
BY that entrance and the gate had to
be again opened.
"Upon examination Farmer Joe dis
covered that the log was crooked and
half circular in shape. With the aid
of a hired man he pried it around so
that both ends opened into the vacant
field. The next morning MI. Hog
started for the corntield as usual. He
trotted along the fence until he came
to the1og, and worked his way into
the hollow log. After a moment he
emerged at the opposite end OF the
log. He was probably the most sur
prised hog in history. He looked
around in a dazed way and then gazed
r~eproachfully at the log. Again he
entered the log and again he emerged
on the wrong side OF the fence. Thus
be spent the forenoon, and only gave
up the task when it was apparent that
some one had done him wrong.
s'There is a moral in this story"
said Uncle John, as he lighted another

Yourself. 1 am afraid hat as a people
we too often resemble Farmer Joe's
hog, and that no matter what we do
we come out on the same side of the
fence. Chicago Times Herald

I Blankets after the winter use are never
clean, and should not be put away without
being washed. Many housekeepers In view
OF the shrinking and d~iscoloriug caused
by washing, satisfy themselves with airing
and shaking their blankets, but this is
a great mistake. for II the work is prop
erly lone the soft appearance and white
ness may be retained for years
The most important consideration In
washing blankets is to have plenty OF
soft water and good soap. An inferior cheap
soar Is really the cause Of the injury done
wooden goods In washing, as 1t hardens and
yeIlows the fibre. When ready to begin the
work, shake the blankets free OF dust, I'LL
a tub nearly full OF soft lot water, and dis
solve a third OF a cake Of Ivory soap in IL.
Put one blanket in at a time and dip up and
down, gently washing with the hands.
Never rub soap or blankets, or wash
on the w~ashboard. After the blanket
are clean, rinse them in warm water until
free Of suds. Add a little bluing to the last
water. Shake and squeeze rather than
wiring, and hang on the line until dry. Then
fold and pack away In q box securely TO
exclude the moth. Blankets washed In this
way will keep their original freshness and
wear very much longer than II put away
soiled year after year. ELIZA r. PARKER.

An electrical Success.

The New England Railroad, it is
claimed, has successfully solved the
question of the application of cleo.
tricity instead of steam for a long and
heavy haul. An experimental run Of
ten miles between Hartford and New
Britain, was made in 10 ~ minutes,
''and with less jar than is experienced
in an ordinary passenger car" The
test means the attainment of a speed
of sixty to seyenty-fiye miles per hour
by using electricity ASA motive power.
Financially, it meansgetting one horse
power out of two tons of coal, which
in a steam engine takes from seven to
eight tons. The system is known as
the third-rail system. The third rails
are laid between the running rails and
are banded together and connected by
copper wires. The running rails are
used TO carry back the return current.
The current used is of 600 volts, 100
more than the overhead trolley system.
and although the third rail, which
carries the current, is exposed, a
shock cannot be gotten fromit without
touching the third rail and one of the
running rails at the same time, and
even then not q dangerous one.
Speaking of the new system President
Clark, of the New Haven road, said:
''You may tell everybody who is en-
gagged in investing their own or any
body else's money in lines competitiye
with steam roads, that they cannot
prosper when the day comes to Law
down third rails in this country. There
is neither malice in this statement nor
a desire to iniure anybody. Our
locomotives may go into the scrap
hemp, as the old stage coaches had to
go."-Trenton American.

Just Lie Wings.

Louis Pierre Mouillard, a French
resident of Cairo, has invented q flying
machine, comprising IN aeroplane of
concave surfaces, attached to the body
Of the aviator and arranged to permit
movement of the planes in o horizontal
direction only with reference to the
body of the aviator, the apparatus de-
pending for support solely upon wind
pressure, and not upon any downward
thrust upon the air, either by tapping
wings or revolving propeller wheels.
To a breastplate, provided with an
artificial sternum, are hinged wings,
each on a vertical axis, SO as to be
capable Of forward or backward motion,
the wing frames of aluminium tubing
being covered with silk or other suit
able fabric. When the planes are
thrust forward the aerodrome rises;
when they.are pulled back it descends
The wings are controlled by a spring.
upon which, the inventor says, 'the
life Of the aviator depends" and which
must be strong enoughto hold the two
wings with their edges on a straight
line at q speed Of twenty-five miles an
hour. The aeroplane can glide upon
the air by a fall from a height SUI
ificient to procure o speed which shall
cause the air to support the apparatus,
or, by a skillful utilization of the force
of the wind, which must blow at least
ten miles an hour. The weight of the
apparatus should not exceed fifty-fve
pounds, and it is intended to sail with
winds varying between ten and twenty
five miles an hour.-Philadelphia Rec

At this season of the year cows fresh
in milk will often give more in two
milkings than the COW can carry dur
ing the latter part of each ~ hours
between them. In these long days,
when there is 16 hours of daylight,
milking early in the morning, at noon
and at dusk at night will partition off
the time into divisions Of eight hours
each. Considerably more, both of
milk and butter, will be got from the
three milkings, though each mess will
have less proportion of butterf fats than
if the times between milkings were
longer. 1t is only the COWS that give
very large yields of milk that need to
be MIXED three times a day. Some
extra grain feed is necessary for such
cows to keep them from losing flesh.
But this extra feed will all go into the
milk pail, so the farmer will be the
gamer thereby. The practical argu-
ment for milking three times a day is
that when a coy goes with bag dis
tended for several hours she is likely
to become feverish, and the bag may
cake. In any event, the feverish CON
dition impairs her milking capacity,
while milking three times a day, es-
pecially If extra grain feed is given,
increases it.-Boston Cultiyator.

Noise Means trouble.

+ Too often we find that the term
"silent steed," as applied to a bicycle,
is something Of a misnomer, and that
rattle or noise appears to develop in
some most unaccountable fashion. 1t
cannot be too widely known that any
kind of noise in q bicycle is q clear
sign that something is wrong, and If
the rectifying Of the particular ailment
be beyond the powers of its p~ossessor
a really practical cycle mechanic
should be intrusted with the work.
