SOLDIERS NEEDS.
A List of Absolute Necessities That
the Girls Should Put in
Housewives.

| Without an accurate count, no esti-
mate worth a cent can be made as to
the number of girls in the United States
who are making, or have made, for
sweethearts those little wrapped-up
carryalls called housewives, little non
| descript containing comb, pins, needles,
thread, buttons, etc. Every man in the
| army, presumably, has one, at least.
Some of the boys have three or four,
depending on the number. of girls they
had ION the string.'
But the girls were careless and for
getful. They hadn't been through
many wars, SO they only thought of the
little necessaries. A little thought
would have convinced them that box
of imported cigars and quart bottle
Of French brandy should have been
added, for use in case of sickness. In
writing back from Columbus, Camp
BUSHNELL Thomps said that his "house-
wives' (pluraD were sadly deficient.
If he could suggest, he would add a
small oil stove and a pair of slippers,
tans. About two or three dozen hand
ierchiefs should be put in,. and selec-
ton of Turkish towels, say six. But
the handkerchiefs are not the thing
without pint bottle Of violet extract
Toilet water doesn't come amiss after
you have been in swimming.
Thomps also said that pipes and to-
bacco and matches should never be
omitted from a housewife, especially
tobacco. Some of the girls forgot to
put in a gross of playing cards. Their
| neglect is all but criminal in the eyes
! of the soldiers. He also made sugges-
ton to have pies sent in sealed pans.
| Take two pies and two pans, turn them
face to face, and have a timer solder
the edges. They will keep dry this
way, but will not keep the other way
when the soldier is hungry. Any num-
Der of these pies should be found in
every well-arranged housewife.
Don't forget manicure set, for we
can't fight with dirty finger nails.
When we die we want to die like gents.
Some of the soldiers long for candy,
and now is the chance for the girls to
get even after years of waiting.
| Chocolates straight are nice.
Some girls put in a small picture of
themselves in the housewife when a
life-size crayon, $3.50 for the frame, on
the installment plan, would be much
nicer. It will also serve to keep the
wind out of the tent on cold nights.
| A bottle or two of distilled water
comes in handy for washing purposes,
but is not insisted upon if it crowds out
the bottles of prepared Manhattans.
These are Indispensable, and the num-
Der of bottles is not limited by law.
That's all, unless you add one or two
fatirons, but be sure that the house
wife doesn't weigh, when wrapped,
more than 400 pounds, for that is all
man can carry or mule pull in Cuban
swamp. Then, when we come back,
girls, why we will marry-no, when we
come back we will, why, we will re-
turn.-Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.

FACTS ABOUT ONIONS.
They Clear the Blood Of the POisons
Which Produce Rheumatism
and Muddy Complexion

There is no more wholesome vegeta.
BILE grown than the odorous and much.
despised onion. No one who eats free.
ly of onions will ever be troubled With
sleeplessness nor serious blood trou.
bles. They clear the blood of those
poisons which produce rheumatism and
muddy compilations and those nations
that eat of onions with the greatest
freedom are the ones most free from ills
of this kind.
Onions when grown from seed should
be planted within few days in order
to have time to mature full crop, but
where sets are used they may be put
out at any time while the sets are in
the market.
The rows should be IS inches apart
and the onions three inches in the
rows. The land cannot be made too rich
nor too fine before planting. Put in
fine manure and ashes, if you have
them, work the soil over and over until
it is as fine as dust, and sow the seed
or put in the sets.
The cultivation should never be deep.
the soil should not be disturbed below
one inch from the surface at any time
during the season. The onion throws
out its roots near the surface, and as
they are not very long the soil should
be rich and the cultivation shallow.
Never ridge the soil up to the rows.
The ideal onion bed is one where the
bulbs grow above the ground for more
than half their size.
1t is a common remark that onions
agree with but few people. Anyone
who eats them regularly will soon find
any trouble of this kind gone as we'll
as other and more serious ones very
often.
Those who do not eat them because
OF the odor they leave on the breath are
more nice than wise.-Farmers' Voice.

into one-am So" was so ashamed
couldn't go on, for it did seem an aw-
fully mean thing. Lord Tottenham
said:
"a very nice way to make your for
tune-by deceit and trickery! I have
horror of dogs. If I'd been weak
man the shock might have killed me.
What do you think of yourselves, eh?"
We were all crying except Oswald,
and the others say be was, and Lord
Tottenham went on:
"Well, I see you're sorry. Let this be
lesson to you; and We'll say no more
about it. I'M an old man now. but 1
was young once."'
Then Alice slid along the bench close
to him and said: II think you're very
good to forgive us, and we are really
very,very sorry. But we wanted to be
like the children in books, only we
never have the chances they have. But
we are sorry-very sorry. And I know
Oswald wasn't going to take the half
sovereign. Directly you said that about
tip began to feel bad inside, and 1
whispered to H. o. that I wished we
hadn't"
Then Lord Tottenham stood up, and
he looked like the death of Nelson"
for he is clean shaven and it is a good
face, and he said: .tE
always remember never to do dis
honorable thing, for money or for any
thing else in the world
And we promised we would remem-
Der. Then he took off his hat and we
took off ours, and he went away and we
went home. nev?r felt so cheap in all
my life.
Dora said: II told you So" but we
didn't mind even that so much, though
it was hard to bear. It was what Lord
Tottenham had said about ungentle-
manly. We didn't go on to The heath
for week after that; but at last we
went, and we waited for him by the
bench. When he came along Alice said:
"Please, Lord Tottenham, we have
not been on the heath for week, to be
a punishment, because you let us off.
And we have brought you a present
each, if you will take them, to show
you we are willing to make it up.''
He sat down on the bench and we gave
him our presents. Oswald gave him
siXpenny compass; he bought it with
his own money on purpose to give him.
Oswald always buys useful presents.
The needle would not move after I'd had
it a day or two; but Lord Tottenham
used to be an admiral, so he will be able
to make that go all right. Alice had
made him shaving case with rose
worked on it. II. o. gave him his knife
the same one he once cut all the but
tons off his best suit with. Dickie gave
him his prize NAVAL Heroes" because
it was the best thing he had, and Noel
gave him piece Of poetry he had made
himself:
when sin and shame bow down the brow,
Then people feel just like we do now.
We are SO sorry with grief and pain,
Wenever will be SO ungentlemanly again."
Lord Tottenham seemed very pleased.
He thanked us, and talked 20 us for q
bit, and when he said good-by he said:
"All's fair weather now, mates," and
shook hands.
And when we meet him he mods to us;
so he can't really be going on thinking
us ungentlemanly any more.-Pall Mall
Gazette.

Economy of Wide Tires.

At hearing before Gov. voorhees,, of
New Jersey, on the proposed wide-tire
bill, it was stated that heretofore the
township meetings have generally APP
propriated small sums for the care of
the roads, but that now the wheelmen
attend ''these meetings in body, and
if the roads are not in as good repair
as they think they should be, they
move for an increase in the appropri-
ton and generally carry their point.
It was also argued that it would be
cheaper to rebate ten dollars of taxes
to any farmer using wide tires than
to double the road appropriations, and
wide tires would generally improve the
roads,

The Nnn Who Doesn't Rend.

A great many farmers say they have
no time to read. That is just the rea-
son, as rule, why they do not succeed
better. The man who don't read may be
IL hard worker, but he is apt to have poor
judgment. A look over the country will
convince any man that the successful
farmers are invariably the most intelli-
gent ones; you might as well think of
running ferry boat over the river when
the river is dry, as to make a man in
telligent who does not read. - Rural

LIE WhEAI CROP.


It is not an easy matter To tell what
the price of wheat and flour may be, but
the crop is now In such condition, both
ia this country and also In the other
whe,t-producing countries Of the world,
that sn estimate can now be made that
will at least approximate reliability.
In this country the area In wheat was
greatly stimulated by the higher prices
for the crop in the past year, and Is Sc,
down as nearly 5000, 900 acres greater
than ever before. The crop Is already
harvested In part, and In full is now safe
ly beyond any marked damage or shrink
age that possibly might befsll the crop
at this stage Of its further maturity
The yield of this greater acreage is fully
up TO q good average so that IL Is nov
fairly certain that the crop will exceed
that Of last year by l50, 900 bushels
AT the same time the estimates Of the
crop in Argentina and In the European
countries are very much above the short
crops Of last year. In Russia and France
the Weld is full l00, ,0OO, 900 bushels II
each country above last year.
It is thus seen that the condition:
which caused the advance In the price
Of wheat last year do not now obtain
From the present crop there will be sur
plus wheat from other countries thar
our own this year to meet the demands
Of Eogland's consumption. Still tht
storehOuses OF the world are compara
lively empty and it will take "a large
amount Of wheat above consumption tt
fill them TO their usual holding. How
much no one can tell. This will In fac,
depend much on the price. With thu
extremely low price vast amount O.
-four goes into stOrehouses there to re
main till rise shall draw il out. Then
again, no one attempts even to predie,
what effect the war may have on th'
price Of breadstuffs. This is an unknown
factor. Ii is quite certain, however, tina
for the present no extreme price can o.
maintained for this commodity. Th'
new wheat will soon be offered on tn

NANIRE WASTES.

Perhaps IL may safely De said that the
greatest waste upon the average farm
come from the negligent, even criminal,
neglect OF the liquid excrement from our
farm animals, says J. ID. Smith IN the
practical Farmer" On some farms
this is sheer neglect and wastefulness,
but | find others whose owners have
made some provision in this direction,
but for want Of thoroughness, very little
il really saved. have found no better
method OF saving the liquids from the
COW stable than 10 provide n water-tight
gutter. and every day put in IL sum
cieut amount of dry material Of some
sort 10 absorb the excess OF liquids.
This can be done by the use OF forest
leaves. dried swamp muck, road dust,
chat or other dry material. The neatest
absorbent We have ever tried 10 use Was
spruce plsner shavings, which cost SO ~
per ton. One will be surprised now Tar
a good wagon load Of dry leaves will go
for this purpose. and they are a good
fertilizer In themselves. Ii will pay bet
ter 20 hire help TO gather leaves than To
buy commercial msnures, although com
mercial manures may be profitably USED
AZ times. Years ago | learned some
valuable lessons from my father on the
manufacture Of hog manure. His prac-
tice was 20 provide an open yard soJoin-
ing the pens, and in this yard he carted in
leaves, weeds, garden refuse, swamp
muck, etc, and used TO take out as many
as thirty wagon loads year OF fertli-
izer that grew splendid crops OF corn
