Artistic Mrs. Twyman.

One Of the best woman decorators in
America is a Chicago girl, Miss l.. NJ.
Twyman, says New York paper. She
is young, not more than "a, but she has
already won an cnviable place in the
artistic world. She and her work have
become Il fad, based, however, on abili.
ty that is marvellous. The spirit of
youth, with it's freshness and modesty,
clings about everything she paints.
Those who see even her studies buy
them to hang upon their walls.
When Miss Twyman was only years
old, she might be found in room alone,
lying fiat on the floor, with her box
Of paints, hard at work. At she
painted pictures of herself in just the
kind Of frock she wished to have, with
the color and fashion distinctly shown
and always harmonious. When scarce
ly 0, she made some splendid color
sketches in the woods Of Mackinaw, and
since then, in the intervals between her
study years, she has painted Christmas,
Easter and valentine cards, which found
immediate sale. Her mother, cultured
woman, and her poetic and artistic fa-
ther write the lines for the painted
cards where, on the margins or the
heads, her dextrous touch Of color
brings the market to her feet.

Importers of Windbrenks.

Windbreaks are placed next in i'm.
portance to irrigation by L. p. Powell
of New York. Writing to The New
England Homestead Le tells that in
Oneida county, N. Y, there is an Or
chard of Red Astrakhans one half Of
which has windLreak of arbor vit;r
hedge and the other none. The protect
ed part is in perfect condition, the 9TH
er part is nearly dead; not thm au,rhly
sound tree in it. The crops show the
same difference At another place t!l,l"
are On one side Of ,hc street hedge, and
groups Of evcrgreens, IN the north ant
west, on the other side is an open
sweep for the wind. The protected lana
ripens lima beans and Isabella grape, and
Is as good as a whole degree Of latitude
warmer than the other. Our serious
trouble is net from cold, but from cold,
drying winds and speedy changes of
temperature.
He recommends evergreen screens
everywhere, not only hedges but screens
Of trees, allowed to grow tall without
clipping. The arbor vitn IS generally
best, hemlock in some localities. Nor
way spruce wants more room but is
valuable. The old plan of letting trees
grow up in fence lines was right. Too
much economy in clearing land is mis-
take. The proper trees for windbreaks
vary in different parts Of the country,
but this means Of protection is very gen
erally useful.

Stacking Corn Fodder.

In some sections of the country corn
fodder is tied in bundles and stacked
like grain. The bundles are bound with
straw bands in convenient size for ham
ding. To begin the stack or rick, lay
down three bundles side by side, then
two on top of these and one on top Of
the two. Duplicate this pile until the
rick is as long as desired. Now set bun
dies on each side Of this foundation and
also at the ends until the bottom is of
the desired width. On this build the
rick as you would wheat or rye, only
keep the center higher by letting the
tops Of the middle row Of bundles lap "a
little. In feeding from such rick take
the fodder from the end, beginning at
the top and going to the bottom. The
Farm Journal, which gives these direc-
tions says, "This will not expose the
heart of the stack to the weather.

Horses In Greater New York.

In Greater New York there are said
to be about 500, 900 horses kept for bust
ness or pleasure Rural New Yorker
says that these horses consume an aver
age of 10 pounds Of hay and u pounds
of grain per day. This means Sl2, 500
tons of hay and over 100000 tons Of
grain in the course of year. There are
only 1 | states in the country that, sin
gly, produce hay enough to feed these
New York horses. The states of Rhode
Island, Delaware, Florida, Louisiana,
South Carolina, Alabama. Mississippi
and Georgia all combined could hardly
supply hay enough in their total crops
to last these horses for months. As
for the grain, it is enough to say that
the entire oat crop of New England
would feed these horses only about l3
months

HISTORY.

Popular belief associates the
"King's Evlr' with blood poi
souing and it is interesting to
here review the history of this
impression. The Kings Evil
first appears in History just prior
to the Twelfth Century when
Edward the Conqueror imagined
he possessed the miraculous gift
of curing certain diseases by the
simple touch and by pronouncing
few sacre words After the
example of Edward, the King of
France, became celebrated for
the skill with which they cured
scrofu.a, yoitre, ETC., by lis pro-
cess. Scrofula then became uni
versa'!y known as the Kings
EviI and is to-day sometimes al
luded to by that name. Such a
method of cure has been claimed
to e the peculiar attribute Of the
sovereigns of England and
France, b history does not san
ton this, for it appears to have
h"n "ot uNfrcqucntiv employed
Ii ,'"llnr>ra, and to lave been
l r,rcl FROM lhe mystical Pre-
.'s,r y! tie Divide i'll curing dis
u',. The exact words used for
the cure Of Scrofula by the
French Kings were: "I,c roi te
tonche, Dieu te guerisse. "
In this enlightened age nc
body would be silly enough to
trust a case of Scrofula TO King
or his words unless i, lIappc, ed
that the King aior, said, had a
diploma or two from medical
colleges Of good repute. At this
writing none of the Kings in our
circle Of acquaintance have taken
up the study OF medicine and We
therefore suggest that every man,
woman and child suffering from
this dreadful disease send fifty
cents to DR.. Jonathan G. Tru-
man, Lemon City, Fla, for a
bottle Of "Ma1ve.o " There is
bu, one cure for Tie Kings Evil
for Sc ofula and that one
cure is MlIv, 10. This marvel

Buck wheat MiddIings.

(Which is the cheaper grain for
cows, buckwheat middlings at Sll per
ton or Buffalo gluten meal at $l4. to be
fed i'll combination with wheat bran
and oilmeal? The coarse feed consists
Of dry corn fodder and timothy hay"
The foregoing query was answered as
follows by Rural New Yorker:
The gluten feeds vary more or less in
their composition but considering aver
aye samples the buckwheat middlings
at $ll are decidedly cheaper. Buck
wheat middlings of good quality, as
usually bought hear the buckwheat
mills, are often the cheapest source of
protein or muscle makers that dairy.
man can buy. They are constipating,
however, and are excellent to feed with
ensilage If fed with dry fodder and
timothy, we should use two parts each
of bran and buckwheat middlings and
one part of linsecd meal.

It will also soon have universal free

The last legislature passed law pro-
viding for the appraisement and con-
demnation Of toll turnpikes and their
conversion into free roads.
Since the good roads Of New Jersey
have come to form such network it
has been interesting to note how many
dormant country hotels have come to
life, new roadhouses built and wayside
booths erected, while farmers and Others
have opened their houses to dispense re-
freshments to whcelmen and other tour

Tile and Stone Drains,

A Maine farmer, writing to The Ma
tional sotuckmall, says:
Where circumstances favor more ef-
fective drainage can be accomplished by
combining stone with tile. This is not
infrequently impracticab!e, but where
the soil to be drained is more or less
stony the rocks can be readily disposed
of by placing them in the drain over the
tile and be of lasting benefit. A stone
drain well laid makes Il very effective
drain, and if properly placed will do
good service for lifetime. 1t is now
nearly or quite As years since | laid
stone drains on a small area of wet
land, and they are apparently as effect.
i've now as when first laid But such
drains are costly if one has to have the
stone to construct them; besides it re.
quires much more time in digging the
trench and i'll laying the drain. Also if
tile is to be topped with stone the ditch
should be Of width sufficient at the bot
tom to admit of laying the stone beside
the tile and bridge across with fiat
stones SO arranged as not to press upon
the tile.

Holm Your Sister.

Some time ago there was sympo-
stun in the columns Of this paper on
the subject of ''lf We're Man, Many
of our bright women contributed their
ideas to make an interesting study as to
how women would act if they We're
men. Now Eve wishes to ask one ques-
tion Of men in general: Is not one Of
the best privileges of being man that
in most cases he is permitted to manage
his own affairs? Is there not tendency
on the part of us women, especially now
we have started in to reform the world,
to give gratuitous advice to each other,
sometimes in very gracious way, but
often in very spicy and rather inso-
lent way, and when it is the latter how
strong the temptation to retort, mind
your own buslness?' Mortals are not
omniscient, and how few there are who
have the sympathetic insight and broad
minded view that render them fitting
advisers. How little, after all, we real
ly know Of the needs, the natures, the
trials Of others whose lives apparently
lie open to view. There is an exquisite
legend written somewhere of one who
pleaded for a certain kind of help to-
ward an end in view, and ali who were
asked endcavorcd to prove that it was
foolish and would be better done as
their wisdom suggested. At last one
came who questioned not, but gave in
silence and sympathy the service asked,
and then amazed bcheld the saint or
angel transtigured pause to bless the
humble helper, cxclaiming, because
thou hast questioned not, but under
stood the hearts need My sisters, let
all of Ewes daughters lay this lesson to
heart. New Orleans Times Democrat
