This Queen Wants No Gifts

Queen Wilhelmina of Holland has just
settled knotty point that has been for
some time agitating her lieges. The
Dutch newspapers have been discussing
what present should be offered to their
sovereign upon her coronation in Au-
gust. All kinds of gifts were pro-
posed from the nation, from the prov
inces, from societies, clubs and individu-
ais. Her majesty settled the matter,
however, by declaring that she would &C.
cept no present at all. Upon the at
tainment of her majcsty's majority the
Dutch postoffice proposes to issue spe-
cial set of stamps, a circumstance, in view
of the excessive number of commemora-
tive stamps, that will probably not afford
stamp collectors unmixed qualification.

Too Little Cooperation.

There is far too little cooperation
among farmers. Because they are iso-
lated is no reason why the more expen-
sive kinds of machinery cannot be owned
in partnership by the farmers in neigh
borhood, instead of obliging each one to
go to the expense of procuring every
thing he has to use. In the early days
of every farming community farmers were
helpful to each other. This helpfulness
did much to promote mutual good feel
ing. 1t ought to do so now. Part of
the advantage which the Western farmer
has in working large tracts of land Oh his
own account can well be secured if Il
number of small farmers who altogether
cultivate as much land would unite to-
gether to buy the implements needed to
do this.

When hauling load it is better to
have the horses draw as much as they
can, making the load the maximum in
weight, as the horses have travelled the
distance whether the load is small or
large, and it is the time lost in travelling
that makes. hauling expensive. If the
roads are good heavy loads can be car

A Good Garden Next Year.

1t is not too early at the beginning of a
new year to make the resolution to have
a better garden than last year. and to be-
GIN the preparations for securing it. In
the first place there should be we'll
planned idea of what the garden should
De. For this the numerous catalogues
which Seedsmen are now sending forth
will be an invaluable aid. There are not
only garden novelties every year that are
well worth a trial. but there are many old
standbys. of good garden which many
farmers have for years done without. be-
cause at planting time they did not re-
member them. The garden plot for next
year should. as early as possible, be COW
cred with the best manure the stables can
furnish. This is usually the manure from
horses, as these are usually fed more or
less oats in winter. Such manure will
heat more quickly when plowed under,
and will therefore be ready early to give
its effect on the vegetables that are ear
lest planted. But it is not best to rely
wholly on this for the early planted vege-
tables. If no nitric Of soda can be afford
ed, very good substitute, in fact better
than the nitrate of soda itself, can be
few wood ashes, and covering with earth
to prevent the loss of ammonia. The
ashes will absorb the ammonia as it is
formed. and will become a nitrate of pot
ash. In doing this be very careful that
+ the compost does not come in contact with
any woodwork, as the rapid decomposi-
ton of the hen manure with the ashes
might cause spontaneous combustion of
any inflammable material within reach.
A very little of this fertilizer put in rows
with the seed will make a rapid growth
of the plants, and the heat it gives out
will be to some extent protection
against being chilled by the cold rains
and frosts which are sure to come after
the plants are above ground.

Care of Young Stock.

There is no way to dispose of coarse
grains to better profit than for feeding to
young, growing stock in winter. says the
American Cultivator. 1t is a hard time
at the best that the young animal has
during it's first winter. and unless fed
grain of some kind, it is pretty sure to
become stunted and have it's usefulness
impaired for all its after life. This is
most noticeable in mich COWS There
never was a good COW which was not Il
hearty eater. 1t is not grain alone that
should be given young stock, but such
variety of feed as will keep the animal
all the time in good thrift. Everybody
has noticed that it is the COW that is pct
ted most that produces the largest mess
of milk. and keeps to her milk the long
est. This petting should begin when the
future COW is only calf. She should
early be used to having her teats and
udder handled. This will cause the teats
to enlarge, and make the COW much
easier to milk when she comes to the
milking stage. The Holland and Holstein
Friesian cattle invariably have large
teats. In their native land they are al
ways petted from calfhood to the end of
their lives. The having of large tcats
in this country, where they do not usual
ly receive such treatment. may be due
to heredity. Any way. however produced,
large udder and large teats are invari-
ably the sign of good COW.

Origin Of Name Colts"

How many people know how the name
OF Colts" came to be applied TO the
Chicago baseball team? Tom Burns ex-
planned this in the course of rem
inlscences on spring practice seasons
1t was years ago at Hot Springs. When
1t came time to line up the players. new
and old. in two lines, the regular team
took one side. first base alone being
covered by a new player. Arson play
ed with the youngsters. The teams
were styled the "Old Horses" and "An-
sons Colts" After time the Chica-
COS became known as "Anson's Colts"
and finally as the Colts.
To the same practice season at Hot
Springs the origin of the term Charley
horse as applied to baseball can be
traced. Many who have lived in the
country will remember that when an
old horse is turned out to die he Is dub
bed n charley horse"
Joe Quest had this in mind when he
strained his leg in practice on the chip

abhorred by all ball players. Some one
asked him his general symptoms, and.
thinking Of his name of Colt, he said he
felt like an old Charley horse" The
word soon had place in baseball lingo
as describing the ordinary strain.

Then take seam fot seam and butt for

erwise the calking will swell with such
force as to split the planking.
Depending on how wide the seams
are, either white lead and putty or
seam paint should be used to fill in
over the calking and to finish the seam
smoothly. The mixture of white lead
and putty will answer all purposes for
narrow seams, but a wide seam can
he stopped only by seam paint. A can
of this paint when open for few hours
will become thick and may then be
smeared like lard. Gradually the paint
will harden in the seam so that 1t will

natural tendency to wrench the boat.
Gradually this strain will open seams
which will cause the boat to leak, so
that recourse must be had to cotton or
