AT A GHOST PICNIC.
A Form OF Summer Entertn I'm IN e N t
Which Affords More Fun Than
Anything Ever Tried

fine moonlight evening with the
barometer at a satisfactory altitude
is one of the essentials for this form of
entertainment On the invitation
cards guests should be notified that a
white costume of some description is
necessary. 1t may be silk, satin or cot
ton, according to the fancy or means
of the wearer, but pure white, without
spot or blemish. it must be.
Since it is not every one, especially
among the matrons, and of course all
the men, who is in possession of a
white costume, some of the shifts to
which the guests will resort will be
sure to add immeasurably to the mer-
riment of the occasion. So much the
better; "ghost" picnic should be
wildly hilarious. The scene of the
gathering should not be fixed too far
from home, and should be chosen, to
some extent, on account of its easy
access. Instead of arranging a pre-
Iminary meet, as at the ordinary pic
mic, the guests should find their way to
the place in family groups or singly,
as the case may be. 1t will. of course,
depend upon the individual humor of
eacn guest to make his or her appear
ance on the scene as 'ghostly'' as may

LIVE STOCK POINTERS.

Corn smut will not injure cattle un'
less they eat too much OF it.
Hogs will fatten on alfalfa, but
should be finished off with some grain.
Infuse some new blood into the
swine herd and you will find that it
pays.
At night in hot weather animals
should be kept out of doors as much as
possible.
Is the animal painting and no shade
or water to partially relieve the dis
tress? Bad, very bad.
The idiot who says that a horse
should never be shod is abroad again
and writing for the papers.
If the pig is overfed and does not G ct
| sufficient exercise, it may have thumps.
Reduce the feed and compel exercise.
The mule is more healthy than the
horse, eats less, requires less care, will
do as much work and some mules are
good drivers.
Flies do not like kerosene OIL and
just touching the hair of the animal
with sponge saturated with the oil
will help keep the flies off.
The country butcher is an advantage
to the farmer because he will buy an
animal occasionally and furnish fresh
meat for the farmers table.
Oxen are not much used in the west,
but you will sometimes see them in the
far west. They are not profitable for
team service, but the bull could be
worked with profit.

breeders is that there is not much buy.

The cut shows plan for using an eX-
temporized rigging between the
"bents" having crosswise timbers. A
pulley is located above the NOW to be
filled. The rope from it (A) has the
fork at it's end. The hay is lifted
straight up from the load because held

by the man on the load. When the
forkful will clear the edge of the NOW,
The rope OBJ is put out as required
either to drop the forkful at the front,
TIE middle or the rear of the NOV,
The rope (A), after passing over the
pulley above the NOV, is carried down
as directly as possible to the horse
which draws it out. The direction may.
of course, have to be changed by pull
ley in the barn below. The cut is given
as suggestion, to be modified as cir

Guinea Fowls on Farms.

Every farmer ought to have a few
guinea fowls 70 add to the variety of
feathered life on the farm. They are
also a good protection against such
depredators as hawks and other enc
mics of young chickens, their loud
cries on the approach of any such in
truders giving signal to the weaker
fowl to make its escape. Guineas are
rather wild fowl and will not bear
confinement well. 1t is not best to
keep them unless there is good range.
The hens are great layers, but will
mostly steal their nests, and will bring
off very large broods. The young
guinea fowl are very hardy, and not
SO subject to disease as are other
fowl

HOT WATER FOR LICE.
An Insect Destroyer Which Does Its
Work Thoroughly and Can lie
Had for Nothing.

The Messenger very sensibly says
that boiling hot water is a lice killer
about which we read very little in the
poultry papers; but it does the work
very thoroughly, and is very cheap. In
a poultry house where the pests have
obtained a foothold hot water will
greatly assist in their determination.
The waste water on wash day can be
used for this purpose, being returned
to the stove after it has served its end
at the washtub and reheated. If the
walls. roosts and nesting boxes ar,
drenched with this the larger proper
tion of the lice will be DESTROYED in
stantly, and those which escape will
meet their fate in the coat of white
wash which should follow within n Gav
or two. If the nursery coops are
turned upside down and hot water
sprinl<led over the inner surface until
it flows into and through every crevice,
not a single louise will survive the
treatment. This should be done in the
forenoon of bright day in order that
all dampness may be dissipated before
the brood returns to ii at night. We
have nothing laid up against the
lice killer makers, and have no desire
to injure their business, but everybody
cannot buy these things; and while
they are a convenience. it is just as well
to admit the fact that they are not a
necessity. The lice can be conquered
more cheaply, but to do this involves
the expenditure of more time and la

HAY-FORK RIGGING.
An Extemporized Affair Which An.
swers Wei ms the Most
Costly Contrivance.

Many farmers fail to make use OF
that great labor-saver, the hay fork,
because their barns, they think. are
not properly arranged to accommo-
date the usual hayfork rigging. Many
old barns have the timbers framed in
way TO cause some difficulty in this
respect. Still there are many barns
now without this help that with little

be. Some will ride cannily by hedge
and bridge and take the assemblage
unawares. Some will work wonders on
old machines with white paint, and
japanese lanterns at the handlebar
will proclaim their advent to all and
sundry.
The chief item of the programme
should be the supper and this should
be as dainty as possible, and as yir-
ginal in hue as the culinary art can be.
Aerated waters, white meat sand
witches, cakes, sweets and fruits, the
latter in any hue obtainable, should
be served by white-robed handmaids,
on white ware. The glamour of noon
light night in sylvan glade will be
likely to suggest its own method of
killing time, therefore active forms of
entertainment need not be suggested.

gest themselves to the more histrion-

Economy in Buying Seeds.

Economy is not paying less money
for thing than you expected to pay.
True economy is good management,
and about the worst management a
farmer can be guilty Of is to buy cheap
seeds and thus cut the value of his crop
in half-or worse. A stream cannot
flow higher than its source, and crop
cannot be any better than its seed.
Real seed economy is buying seed that
bear the stamp of house that il known

Sherman WiH Retire Soon.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-The cat was
Jet out of the bag to-day regarding the
future relations of Secretary OF State
Sherman with the administration. Mr..
Sherman, it is stated positively, will
leave the Cabinet as soon as the Ohio
legislature definitely decides the Sena-
torship for the coming six years. he
will retire whether Hanna wins or not,
giving as reason his enfeebled condi-
tion, making it impossible after long
public career to give further service to
the country. and recognizing the nee
essity OF giving way to more active
man to cope with the numerous impor-
tant foreign problems which now con-
front the United States.
1t is explained that Secretary Sher-
man has long contemplated retiring,
and only remained in the Cabinet on
the urgent remonstrance OF the Presi.
dent and his advisers against retire
inent during the last few months, which
1t was feared might be construed un
fortunately and have the effect of an
tagonizing the powerful Sherman fol
lowing in Ohio to the administration.
1t was believed that the impression
would go forth that Sherman had beer
forced from the Cabinet, and that hi:
friends would show resentment at his
supposed humiliation by retaliating
against McKinley's friend, Mark Han
ma, Now that that danger is considered
past, the scheme for Sherman's retire
ment is no longer concealed.
It is further stated authoritativel,
that Judge Day will not be promoted
but that a new man, not now in officia
life, will enter the Cabinet. San Fran
