Trust in God does not imply distrust

A tattling tongue is always tipped

The Christians hope is mightier than

Reason is too God-like faculty to be

Head religion manifests itself in

Better fast with contentment than a

Goodness alone is greatness. Moth

The world often measures a man by
his words, but God never.
The worlds negative often when
rightly interpreted is Gods positive.

If dairving is followed all the year
it permits the employment of hired
labor at a season when it is the
cheapest. All the winter the yield
of the field is manufactured into
gilt edged products, and the rich
waste is stored to be again given to
mother earth.

Poultry.

AS the grass and other green stuff

dry throw them a refused head Of
cabbage or lettuce from the garden.
1t is we'll to purposely have some Of
these delicacies left over for them.
If the heads are chopped, all the
better. Pc.
America comes no nearer filling
her own demand for eggs than she
did years ago, and yet we do not
consume as many as we ought. We
are constantly importing both eggs
and fowls. There could hardly be
an overproduction of either.
For young chicks, ducks and tur-
keys there is nothing much better
than sweet corn. Az sooh as it gets
little too hard for roasting ears
cut it off the cob with a sharp knife
and feed them all they will eat of
it. On such diet they certainly
grow rapidly.
From this time to next spring the
cock is useless appendage to the
flock. The Matching season is over,
and the males should be sold or
eaten; they will rot be wanted for
breeding next year, and hens lay
better where there are no cocks in
the flock. Eggs from minated hens
keep thrice as long as when they
are fertile.
In raising turkey for market bear
in mind that the smaller ones al
ways sell most readily. A 10 pound
turkey is large enough for an
ordinary family at time, and one
of 10 pounds will supply a large
family or dinner party. The mon
sters which are our pride and WON
der meet an ignominious fate when
dressed and in the market stalls,
and must sell for two or three cents
under the ruling price, and go to
restaurants or other public places
where large amounts of meat are
| consumed.

The HEARTS Observatory.

We must take time to be alone with
God. The closet aud the shut door are
indispensable. Happy are they who
have an observatory in their heart
house to which they can often retire
beneath the great arch of eternity,
turning their telescope to the mighty
beyond life's fever, and
reaching regions where the breath of
human applause or censure cannot fol-
low! 1t Is impossible to rush into God s
pre- sence, catch up anything we fancy
and run off with it. To attempt this
will end in mere delusion and disap-
pointment.-Rev.F r. b. Meyer.

sheep, but danpness. When a
sheep gets wet the wool holds the
dampness a long time because of the
slow evaporation, and the animal is
chilled.
Most farmers are so situated that
they could keep few head of sheep,
and it is surprising that they do not
all try. While the expense is hard
ly noticeable, the addition to the in-
come from few lambs and the
annual fleece is ever welcome; but
it is worse than folly to start with
scrubs.
A State which supplies its owr
meat food will inevitably be richer
than one which sends it's money
away to buy this food elsewhere.
There is no region in which there is
not land which will go unused if
sheep do not crop it. If enough
sheep are raisd to supply fresh meat,
enough wool will also be supplied
for all the needs of our people, and
our gold will not need be sent away
to buy wool, for the countries from
which we buy our wool are usually
those which take from us nothing in
return but gold. Even a handful of
sheep, well cared for, will persuade
the owner OF their profitableness.

Sheep.

While corn is better than no grain
at all, for sheep, it is not considered
the best. 1t is too heating in its
effects. Oats and bran are much
more to be desired, and repay for the
outlay which may be made for them.
No shepherd can succeed in damp
e~s or marshy fields with his flocks.

Dairy.


There is great difference in cows
in their ability to eat, digest and
assimilate. We should study ap-
petite and performance both, and in
their relation to each other, when
buying for the milk herd. Great
performers at the pail are always
good eaters, though it is by no
means true that poor performers are
poor eaters.
If you have butter which is not
entirely sweet, put it in porcelain
dish, with little salt and a pinch
of soda, place over the fire and
bring to a boil; then let it cool in an
earthen jar. The impurities will
settle to the bottom of the jar, and
the butter will be found sweet and
not too salty for cooking purposes.
We are in advance of the past
generation in that we have better
COWS, know more about feed and
rations, better understand what con-
stitutes good care, and have fallen
into many other profitable little de-
tails to which our fathers gave no
heed. Although we feel that dairy
products are at a low level, yet more
money is made by the progressive
dairyman than could possibly have
been made a few years ago even in
the most favorable conditions.

Horses.

There are no indications that the
strong draft horse ever has or ever
will find competitor There is no
real cause for mourning because the
bicycle or the electric car has
thrown out of use hundreds of thou
sands of mongrel animals.
In England they breed horses for
special uses only, and the business is
uniformly profitable. There is no
such thing as the general purpose
horse. The element of chance is
eliminated, and when they begin
they know just what they expect to
obtain.
In hot weather give horses time to
do their work at their own natural
gait. Let them rest often, and by
all means see that they have plenty
of refreshing water to drink. You
will then get more service from
them, and they and you will be bet
ter off. Horses are the only domes-
tic animal which perspire freely,
and their need of water increases as
the amount of perspiration does.
There is no worse torture than suf-
feriug from thirst. The farmer who
tries to work half a day in the har-
vest field without a drink of water
will be able to appreciate the effect
of neglect upon his horses.
The call for certain kinds OF
horses has not been for many years
as insistent as it is now. This de.
mand is for those of heavy draft and
those fitted for coaches. Never
were better prices obtained fol
them; and the demand will be still
greater, especially for heavy truck
teams. With the return Of full
prosperity the call will be greater
for heavy coach horses, too, anC
they must bring still more remuner
alive prices. Added to all this il
the growing export trade in Ameri
can horses. We are by no meant
ready to meet this call upon us ioI
the material wanted.

Old Geronimo, chief of the Apaches,
is the most not"d Indian of the wild
tribes OF North America, says tho
Philadelphia Times. He is 30 years
Of age and as straight as an arrow.
His eyes are keen, piercing and cruel.
His feet are very large.
When at the post old Geronimo
plays monte, a game of cards liked
very much by the Indians, but when
ever he can get permission to leave the
reservation his time is spent in hunt
ing, OF which he is still very fond.
Geronimo was with Victoria in the
Indian uprising OF 1882. when 600
Apaches were led by her against the
whites who had settled in Arizona and
bordering states.
They were pursued by Lewis Ter
asraz, with a regiment Of Mexican SOL
diers. Victoria was captured and be-
headed and more than one-half of her
band were killed. Geronimo escaped.
but after hearing that Victoria had
been beheaded he surrendered.
He was released and became the
great chief Of the Apaches. His band
was a terror to the early settlers OF
Arizona, Mexico and New Mexico.
In 1884 Gen. George Crook was de-
tailed by the government to capture
this band. After two years OF unsuc-
cessful pursuit Gen. Crook resigned
and Gen. Miles was given command Of
the troops in pursuit.
On March %. 1896. Gen. Miles cap
tured Geronimo and his band. Terms
were made whereby they were to re-
main on the reservation at Fort Bowie.
Four days later the chief and his band
escaped and began further depreda-
tions ON the whites.
Capt. Lawton was sent in pursuit
and the band was again captured.
The territory of Arizona petitioned
the government to have the Apaches
moved to distant fields. After some
time 1t was decided to send the old
chief and his band to Florida. They
were closely guarded and were not
allowed to leave the post on any pre-
text.
The warm climate OF Florida and the
close confinement in the fort killed on
most OF the band. and to prevent ex-
termination the remainder of the band
were removed to Fort Sill. Indian Ter
ritory.

Boiling Water w,.hou. Fire.

1t is possible to make pail Of water
boil without putting It on the fire and
without applying external heat to 1t in
any way, says the Cincinnati CONNER
cial Tribune. In fact, you can make
pail of water boil by simply stirring it
with wooden paddle. The feat was
recently performed in the physical lab
oratory of Johns Hopkins university.
in Baltimore, Nd. and anyone may do
it with little trouble and persever-
ance. All you have to do Is to place
your water in a pail-it may be Ice
water, II necessary-and stir 1t with a
wooden paddle. II you keep at 1t long
enough it will certainly boil. Five
hours of constant and rapid stirring
are sufficient to perform the feat sue
cessfully. The water will, after a time,
grow warm. and then 1t Will grow hot
so hot. in fact. that you cannot hold
your hand in 1t. and. finally, 1t will
boil. Prof. Ames,, of Johns Hopkins,
annually illustrates some of the phe-
nomena of heat. by having one of his
students perform the trick in front of
his class. 1t is a .tiresome job, but it
is perfectly feasible.
The point which Prof. Ames wishes
to illustrate is what is known as the
mechanical equivalent of heat. It re-
quires just SO many foot pounds of
work to develop given quantity Of
heat. By turning the paddle In the
water at regular speed it is possible
to find out just how much work is re-
quired to raise the temperature Of
water one degree. The best measure
ment so far made, and, in fact, the one
which is accepted as the standard OF
the world, is that which was measured
in Johns Hopkins college.
Heat is developed in almost any sub
stance which is subjected to a contin-
uous or very violent action. 1t Is an
old trick for blacksmith to forge
without fire. Long-continued and vio-
lent hammering on two pieces of wire
will heat them. to such an extent that
they can be welded together. A lead
bullet, if shot directly at a stone wall.
will develop heat enough by the con-
tact to melt and fall to the ground a
molten mass. There are many other
occasions wherein this mechanical de-
velopment of heat becomes manifest.

ARTISTIC HOMES.


Them Within Reach Of AL
Probably at no time In the worlds
history has SO much attention been
paid to the interior decoration OF
homes as at present. No home. no
matter how humble, is without Its
handiwork that helps to beautify the
apartments and make the surround
ings more cheerful. The taste Of the
American people has kept pace with
the age, and almost every day brings
forth something new in the way of
picture, draping, piece of furniture
or. other form OF mural decoration.
One Of the latest of these has been
given to the world by the celebrated
artist, Muville. in a series Of four
handsome porcelain game plaques.
Not for years has anything as hand
some in this line been seen. The sub
jects represented by these plaques are
American Wild Ducks, American
Pheasant, American Quail ana English
Snipe. They are handsome paintings
and are especially designed for hang
ing on dining-room walls, though
their richness and beauty entities them
to place In the parlor OF any home.
These original plaques have been pur-
chased at cost of $4,000 by ]. G.
the celebrated Elastic Starch. and in
order to enable their numerous Gus
toners to become posses3ors Of these
handsome works of art they have had
them reproduced by special process
in all the rich colors and beauty IT
the original. They are finished on
heavy cardboard, pressed and en-
bossed In the shape of plaque and
trimmed with a heavy band Of gold.
They measure forty inches in circum-
ference and contain no reading matter
or advertisement whatever.
Until October 1 Messrs. ]. C. Hubin-
ger Bros. Co. propose to distribute
these plaques free to their customers.
Every purchaser of three ten-cent
packages of Elastic Starch. fat-iron
brand. manufactured by ]. c. Hubin-
ger Bros. Co., is entitled to receive
one of these handsome plaques free
from their grocer. Old and new GUS
toners alike are entitled to the bene-
fits Of this offer. These plaques will
not be sent through the mail, the only
way to obtain them being from your
grocer. Every grocery store in the
country has Elastic Starch for sale. 1t
Is the Oldest and best laundry starch
on the market, and is the most perfect
cold process starch ever invented. 1t
Is the only starch made by men who
thoroughly understand the laundry
business, and the only starch that will
not injure the finest fabric. 1t has been
the standard for quarter of CEN
fury, and as an evidence Of how good
1t is twenty-five million packages were
sold last year. Ask your dealer to
show you the plaques and tell you
about Elastic Starch. Accept no sub
stitute. Bear in mind that this offer
holds good a short time only. and
should be taken advantage OF without
