A Bright Reply.

An excellent reply was that opce
made by a Yankee pilot to the owner
of a Mississippi River steamboat.
The boat was at New Orleans, and
the Yankee applied for the vacant post
OF pilot, saying thar he thought he
could give satisfaction, provided they
were 'lookln' for man about his size
and build"
"Your size and build will do well
enough" said the owner, surveying
the lank form and rugged face OF the
applicant with some amusement. but

Earn, ECONOMY.

Profits on the farm are, consequent
ly. much greater when the average for
several years are compared, as each
year must bear its proportion of ex-
penses, aud failure to secure profit
this year may not be a 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 small
profit, but has derived 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 reasonable cash profit.
On the farm the item OF labor must be
considered according TO it's 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 1t to
hinself. and 1t is really profit, because
of the employment secured by him on
the farm. For that reason small
fam, or small flock or herd, will al
ways pay more. in proportion to ex-
pense incurred, than large areas or az
increase OF stock.-New England

For some reason the guinea fowl is
not so common as 1t once was. They
are, however, valuable fowl where
there is a wide range, and they win on
such a farm pick up their living In In
scots 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
a swoop into the barnyard.

The catalpa is very handsome, and
Is especially valuable for large lawns
1t would not answer for small areas,
as the tree grows to large size, and
Its branches extend out quite a dis
lance. 1t Is a vigorous, hardy tree, and
rapid grower; the wood is valuable
for timber and for fencing, and the tree
makes excellent firewood. The tree
grows SO fast on deep, rich river bot
toms that 1t can be cut for timber
twelve years from the seed. This tree
is largely grown in the West for tele-
graph poles, railroad ties and for barn
timber.
The catalpa Is a native Of the South
ern States. The leaves are large, heart
shaped, and the tree makes beautiful
appearance when In full bloom, during
the last week in May. The spikes Of
white and yellow flowers are very
beautiful. The tree grows quickly
from the seed, and 1t stands transplant
Ing admirably. 1t can be had from the
nurseries for twenty Five cents each

Emit for EYaporation.

so much il said about the advantage
OF fruit evaporation to make a market
for otherwise unstable fruit that many
may think 1t makes little difference
what its quality may be. The truth Is
that only the really good fruit should
be used for the evaporation. 1t may be
and often is unstable because Of blem-
ishes which affect its looks, but do not
impair quality. But to take green,
worm-eaten fruit and put 1t through the
eyaporator is mistake. Its first effect
is to discourage the consumer, making
him think that eyaporated 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.

Country Meat Supplies.

There is a great deal Of difficulty In
country places sometimes In securing
supplies of fresh meat during summer
as needed. A good refrigerator with a
plentiful Ice supply will do much TO
keep meat fresh for several days. But
in most cases the mutual exchange oil
different portions of small animals VIII
enable them to be consumed without
loss. In the olden time, when nearly
every farmer kept flock Of sheep, to
kill one and divide the four quarters
among four neighbors, each OF whom
would reclprocate during the season,
gave each enough for the time, and
proved a saving to all. All farmers
who keep poultry have at nearly all
times some specimens that are on duty
for laying, and which can be probably
killed In case of emergency. Yet Sc
often when the fowl has been killed a
large number Of eggs are found In her
ovum, makes the farmer think he had
better have kept few small pigs or
some sheep for this purpose. In every
flock there are, however, many ROSTERS,
so that while these last the family need
not be without fresh meat in any emer-
pencY

AVOIDANCE OF COLDS.
Some Practical Hints as TO How Not "a
Catch Them.


Catch Them.
A German professor once wrote
long treatise with a learned title OF
how to avoid catching cold. Aftel
tracing the history of colds from the
earliest ages, studying their causes and
symptoms, and cataloguing the RENE
dies which have been used by the most
eminent physicians of all times. he con-
cluded with a short chapter on proven
ton.
His plan was to lnure the back Of the
neck to drafts by having some one III
rect current of air upon it from bel
lows three times day.
The writer had the correct idea, al
though its practical application was
clumsy, and he was a long time In
reaching It, The best and only way to
escape colds Is to meet the causes thai
produce them, and not TO run from
them. Let the body be hardened by 4
cold sponge bath, or even cold
plunge, followed by a brisk rubbing
with "scratchy" towel, every morn
ing. Let the clothing be adapted to
the season, though always as light as
possible, but keep the neck uncovered
no turned-up coat collar, no muller,
no boa. Never let the temperature In
The house rise above 20 degrees In the
winter. Air every room systematical'
ly every day, no matter what the out
door temperature may be. Always
have fresh air In the bedroom; there Is
nothing poisonous In might air" pop
ular belief TO the contrary notwith-
standing.
In word, don't always be afraid or
catching cold; don't coddle, but meet
cold and wet and changes OF tenn
perature like a manor rather, like q
