HE WANTED STAMPS.

o0t His Nervousness Got Things In
Rather TnnE1e.
He had haphazard whiskers and
seemed to be in hurry. Stepping up
60 the stamp window, he snapped a coin
upon the sill and said:

"I'm sorry to say that I can't do it,"
eeplied the clerk.
The man in the corridor looked sur
prised, in the same way that a million
ARE whose servant has refused to obey
orders would look surprised. The post
office is public institution. Every
citizen has an interest in it's one of
the owners of it-and the people who
carry letters and superintend mails and
sell stamps are his employees. The man
at the window had evidently thought
of all that, and it CALLED him to be told
that he couldn't have anything he
wanted in his own postof1ice.
"What's the reason you can't?" he
demanded.

Destruction of Weeds,

y few hours work in spraying or
busting plants in order to destroy in
sectS or disease may not only save
crops this year, but also greatly lessen
the work of next season. But such la
Dor must be applied at the right time.
The same with weeds, which produce
millions of seeds. When they are al
lowed to grow until nearly matured be-
fore they are destroyed they take from
the land the plant food that should sus-
tain the crops grown thereon. If the
destruction of weeds Is done when they
are small. they are then out of the way
before they can harm the crops and
the soil. When the farmer postpones
his attack on weeds he incurS the risk
of not being able to eradicate them at
some critical period of their existence,
and the pests will then have done dam
age by depriving the crop of moisture
and plant food when the season is most
propitious for growth. 1t is the lessen
ing of the work next year that should
always be kept in view. Profit on the
farm is not made In a year but In a
series of years. Work done at loss
to-day may bring fair profit during
the next season. The most profitable
work is spraying to destroy insects and
the keeping down of weeds and grass.

Taking Inventory on the Farm.

1t is doubtful If there IS merchant
in the entire United States, doing d
thousand dollars worth of business in
a year, who does not begin Immediate
ly after the first of January to take an
account of stock, and by an account
of stock on hand, his sales. his bills
payable, and his bills receivable, he Is
able to determine whether the business
has been done during the last year at a
profit or at a loss. He then proceeds
to lay the plans for the conduct of his
business In the year to come. The mer-
chant who does not do this, and Is
known not to do this, Will speedily lose
credit among the bankers and business
men with whom he deals, and would be
considered In imminent danger Of
bankruptcy, for only in this way can he
find out where he stands financially.
We doubt If there IS one farmer who
at the first of January or at any other
period Of the year regularly takes
stock. casts up his accounts. and finds
out the amount of profit or loss.-Field
and Farm.

Cultivation in Dry Weather.

Whenever there seems danger that
corn or potatoes will suffer from
drought all the cultivation should be
near the surface. That will provide a
slight mulch of dry soil, and will keep
the soil all the moister below 1t. as
the mulch prevents surface evnpOra-
ton. If there are light rains. as there
will sometimes be even in dry times,
follow with the cultivator turning
down all the soil moistened by the rain,
and turning to the surface some OF the
dry soil below. When on going through
the field after a rain YOU seem to leave
the soil dryer than before 1t was cult
waited you may know that you are do
ing good work. The water Is put
down where the corn or potato roots
will quickly find 1t. instead OF being
left on the surface to evaporate.

Care of the La wn.

is kept too close the grass may die out
should there be a lack of sufficient
moisture. The cutting of grass weak
ems the plant at first, as every success
sive growth is in the direction of pro-
ducing seed. Any plant can be de-
stroyed if kept cut close to the ground

When moisture is abundant, however,
the plant has better opportunities to
renew its growth.

Garden Seeds.

Where several varieties of plants OF
the same kind are grown together, IT
will not be proper to save seed there
from. The different kinds OF melons,
mons sweet corn or other crops have
their pollen distributed by the Wihds
or by insects, and seed saved under
such circumstances will prevent uni
formity next year. The greatest care
should be observed to avoid mixing
when saving seed is the object.

Hog Feeding.

Experments to determine the value
of corn and wheat for producing pork
show that to produce one pound OF i've
pork with shelled corn costs 1.49 cents
and to produce one pound of pork from
dry wheat the cost is 457 cents. The
cost varies, owing to the difference IN
the prices of the foods. Pork from
mixture of equal parts of corn ana
u.heot costs o.97 cents. Corn is there
fore much the cheaper grain for pro-
ducing pork.

Hens In sum .ner.

The cheapest way to keep 1locK Oh
hons in summer Is to turn them on II
range and let them pick up all the food
reo,1ired. as they will fill their crops
several times a day with bugs, grass
seeds. worms, etc. When fed grain
during warm weather the fowls are
liable to become too fat, In when con-
d,tion the hens do not lay ana are also
more liable to disease. Eggs may not
ha high in summer, but they can be
nroduced at n very small cost at that
season If the hens are MADE 10 seeh
