Farm Economy,

Profits on the farm are, consequent
ly, much greater when the average for
several years are compared, as each
year must bear it's proportion of ex-
penses, and a failure to secure a profit
this year may not be loss, because
there may be corresponding reduction
of expense next year. Nor must we
overlook the advantage of the opportu-
nifty offered the farmer of selling his
own labor in the form of some product.
Where a farmer makes only a small
profit, but has derived a fair sum for
the labor he personally bestowed, his
gain is greater than the actual profit
The farm has increased in value as the
labor or manure or other accretion has
failed to yield a reasonable cash profit.
On the farm the item of labor must be
considered according to its actual cost
as an expenditure. Though the labor of
the farmer himself is an item of cost,
and must be paid for, yet he pays it to
himself, and it is really profit, because
of the employment secured by him on
the farm. For that reason a small
fam, or small flock or herd, will al
ways pay more, in proportion to ex-
pense incurred, than large areas or an
increase of stock.-New England

his face frightened when she came in
ly to her words, however much he pre-
tended not to.
At last there came a time when Gabe
could mask his real feelings no longer,
and in his rough, brusque way he
poured out his gratitude to his nurse.
She blushed and smiled and said it af-
forded her the greatest pleasure to
learn that she had been a help and
comfort to him.
Il have often wondered" he said.
'whc and what you are. Won't you

"Why?"

less of you than l do now"
"Then I'll tell you. l am a preach
err"
Gabe was staggered for moment,
then he rallied to his promise and kept
it. More than that, when he was able,
he attended the protracted meetings
the woman was conducting. Attended
because she asked him.
The result over it all was that he got
religious and fell in love, or perhaps it
would be more proper to say that he
fell in love first and that led to the 9th
er. The curious thing was the preacher
loved him and married him, and that
he became her helpmeet in her minis
terial work.-Utica Globe.

A country justice had been elected
but few days, when a young lawyer
rushed in and demanded a capias.
Now, that justice did not know a ca
pias from a police cell, but he disliked
to admit his ignorance. So he said:
"Now, see here, my friend. You are
a young lawyer, and, 1 fear, lack ex-
perience. l would advise you not to
be too hasty. Don't be in a hurry.
Wait twenty-four hours and then, i
you think best, come to me, and 1 will
give you a capias."
The young lawyer agreed and went
away. The justice spent the remain
der of the day getting acquainted with
the writ called capias. When the limb
of the law appeared the next morning,
the court felt himself qualified to issue
capiases by the bushel.
Before he could speak, the young
lawyer said:
"Mr. Justice, you were right. l was
too hasty. l have that matter fixed up
all right and do not need a capias.
have come to thank you for the good
advice, and have also brought you the
two dollars fee you would have re-
ceived for the capias, as l don't want
you to lose by your good deed"
He went away believing the Justice
to be a paragon of good sense and legal

Good Dairy Rules.

The Iowa Agricultural College cream
cry has promulgated the following
rules, which should be observed by all
patrons of creameries:
Nothing but tin pals should be used
in the milk yard, as it is impossible to
keep wooden pals sweet.
The. cows udders should be carefully
washed before any milk is drawn.
Milk should be aired Immediately by
pouring or dipping from pail to pail be-
fore cooling, and then be cooled as
quickly as possible to at least sixty de-
grees.
Milk should be kept where the sur
rounding air is pure and free from sta
BILE odors or taint of any kind.
Mornings milk should be cooled be-
fore mixing with the evenings milk.
Cows should not be permitted to
drink stagnant or impure water, but
should have abundance of good water.
Cows should be driven quietly to and
from pasture.
Cans and pals should be washed
carefully with warm water, but not
hot, and care should he taken to clean

Do Your Own Repairing.

Too many farmers are given to hiring
repair work done which, with the aid
of a few tools and a little ingenuity,
they could do themselves at One-tenth
the cost. An old iron and bolt box
should be found in every barn. Having
these in place, never pass piece of old
iron or a bolt, however useless it may
look, but pick it up and put it into its
box and seven times out of ten you
will find that apparently worthless
piece will answer a useful purpose.
Bolts of all sizes and descriptions, es-
pecially II and 3s and u inch are al
ways coming handy. Every farmer
should have bench thirty inches wide
by ten to fifteen feet long, with a good
wise.
Hanging conveniently over this bench
on the wall should be a good rip and
crosscut saw, twelve teeth to the inch,
a twelve-inch fiat bastard file, a six
inch three cornered saw file, ten or
twelve-inch brace with Il, 3s, u, S, z,
Is, and 1-inch bits and ~ and Pinch
auger. A good heavy hammer, a claw
hammer, should also be found, box
of assorted Is to u copper rivets, cold
chisel, punch, a square, a marking
gauge, screw driver, monkey wrench:
twelve-inch stetson pipe wrench for
twisting bolts, pliers, as, u, and ~
inch chisels, mallet, harness punch, *
inch iron drill to use in brace, an assort-
ment of small wire nails, one-half inch
to one inch, a smoother and jack plane.
pair of compasses and key-hole saw.
These tools will of course cost con-
siderable, but if you will use them as
much as you ought they will pay for
themselves in six months, as you can
do almost anything in the way of re-
pair work. An old anvil or block Of
iron should be added and if you get u
cheap drill press and some. rainy day
build forge, your blacksmith's bill
would indeed be light; with the above
tools and a little ingenuity almost any
thing can be repaired. Any man who
has brains enough to successfully engi-
neer a farm should be able to use tools
and do any repair work.-Orange Judd

A New Charm.

Evidently women have tired of the
rabbits foot as charm, for they are
now wearing turkeys foot mounted
in gold or silver, either as chatelaine
ornament or as pin. Just what luck
the turkeys foot is supposed to carry
with it is not known even to the en-
terprising jewellers who are selling
these trinkets like hot cakes. 1t gives
the average man shiver to meet a
pretty, dainty looking girl with her
Ascot tie held in place by big tur-
keys foot, with outspread toes and
long, skinny shank. He is apt to re-
mark, not what will women be wear
ing next, but what won't they be
wearing. Everybody who knows any
thing about it at all knows that the
only rabbits foot which has occult
power is the foot of molly cottontail
that has been ''killed in the full o. the
moon at 10 O'Clock at night In grave
yard by red-headed Niger" A GER
tain young woman who wears one of
the charmed. but by no means charm
ing, turkeys feet, says the foot is no
good unless it belonged to a big fat
gobbler which has been saved by the
owner for some special occasion and
stolen by straight-haired darkey par
son at midnight when the moon is new.

edly they often save him from harsher
treatment than his merits or dement's
entitle him to. A country house near
Buffalo recently received a call from
one of the species. The man was dirty,
unkempt and Enthusiastically tramp.
He also bore the signs of addiction to
strong drink and general worthless
ness. The humorous touch that finish
ed the picture, as he came up with a
genial smile and n good deal of man
ner, was a round and fresh clerical col
lar, which had evidently been lifted
very recently from the premises of the
neighborlng college.

look in his eyes that showed his enjoy

Guinea Fowls,

For some reason the guinea fowl is
not so common as it once was. They
are, however, a valuable fowl where
there is wide range, and they will on
such farm pick up their living in in
sects during the summer season. They
are very prolific layers, producing an
egg daily for several months at a
stretch. Their flesh is rather dark, and
has distinctly gamey flavor. In many
places, where hawks and other preda-
tory birds abound, the guinea fowl is
an important protection to other barn
yard fowls. They are extremely quick
to see any strange object lowering in
the air, and their shrill note of alarm
often prevents the hawk from making
4 swoop into the barnyard.

Fruit for EVaporation.

So much is said about the advantage
of fruit evaporation to make a market
for otherwise unstable fruit that many
may think it makes little difference
what it's quality may be. The truth is
that only the really good fruit should
be used for the evaporator. 1t may be
and often is unstable because Of blem..
ishes which affect it's looks, but do not
impair quality. But to take green,
worm-eaten fruit and put it through the
evaporator is mistake. It's first effect
is to discourage the consumer, making
him think that evaporated fruit is not
so good as he expected. Poor fruit is
not worth much for the pigs, but that
of other stock is the best market for it,
