heart, thought>to relieve his en-
barrassment by saying:
"That's all right, my boy, take

astonished youth could recover
his wits and name the girl, the
captain had opened the library
door, and finding all three
daughters near the /key-hole, had
taken the eldest by the hand and
drawn her into the room where

A FLORIDA TALE

Now, on this particular day in
June, Jim and Truman each de-
termlned to walk off with Joy
before the other could get there.
So it speedily came to a question
of speed. Jim started first, and
as his ability to walk mea sured
about three inches more than
Truman's, the lawyer realized
that he must have help. At the
wharf a fish boat stood idly jerk

body to raise the persplratlon al

1t seemed providentlal that
John and his chum we're on the
beach tying the long grass across
the path SO as to trip dim and
Joy when they should come
along. These imps had seen Jim
start with swinging stride along
the beach, and easily guessed his
destination. They had not seen
Truman, but he saw them, and
in them the chance of victory.
"Here boys, come quick, come
a-jumpjng," called out Truman.
They obeyed promptly, and
soon all three WIRE in the dory,
John and Phil at the oars and
Truman holding the tiller. The
pilot encouraged his crew to their
utmost endeavor by promising to
each a quarter of a dollar to beat
''old long legs" to- nelghbor

One mile was soon measured
off by the bounding boat, while

Eggs Economical as Food.

Eggs at average prices are among the
cheapest and most nutritious articles of
diet. Like milk, egg is complete
food in itself, containing everything
necessary for the development of per-
feet animal, as is manifested from the
fact that chick is formed from it. 1t
seems mystery how muscles, bones,
feathers and everything that a chick
requires for its development are made
from the yolk and white of an egg; but
such is a fact, and it shows how COM
plete a food an egg is. 1t is also easily
digested, If not damaged in cooking.
Indeed, there is no more concentrated
and nourishing food than eggs. The
albumen, oil and saline matter, as in
milk, are in the right proportions for
sustaining animal life. Two or three
boiled eggs, with the addition of slice
or two of toast, will make breakfast
sufficient for any ordinary person.

Selling Oats. and Buying Bran.

1t is very evident that there are
great lot of farmers in the dairy bust
ness, and who really think they are IN
it for all that is out who refuse to &C
cept some of the first principles of
profitable economy. They feed waste
fully and to little profit because they
will not accept the teachings of the
best ability, best experiments and best
experience that has been had. To
illustrate what we mean: During the
whole of the present winter we have
noticed large portion of the dairy
farmers around Fort Atkinson hauling
their corn and oats to the grinding mill,
in the proportion of two of oats to one
Of corn. This mixture they feed their
cows. When we asked them why they
fed 30 expensive food as oats they
almost universally replied that they
raised the oats. They seemed to have
the idea that because they had raised
the oats, somehow the cost of feeding
them was less. We repeatedly took
out our pencil and figured what the
oats were worth by the ton and when
once they mad hauled them to the
market to be ground the oats must be
charged to the cows at full market
rates. We often ask these men why
they did not sell the oats and buy bran
to mix with the corn? They seemed
somehow averse to making any such
deal, simply because they had raised
the oats. On page 272, last week, John
Gould puts the matter in clear light
when he says ga ton of oats and SO
added for the grinding will to-day here
buy 5000 pounds of fine bran contain
ing about 440 pounds of protein, while
the ton of oats would have but 1874
pounds of protein.'ss
Now as Mr.. Gould further says
This is putting S12 against $26.50 with
the further advantage of having the oat
straw left" 1t is the men who never
make fine close study of feeding
values and the best ways of feeding
economy that make blunders like these
Dairy farmers must learn that great
deal of valuable blains, study and ex
pertinent have been expended on this
feeding question, and no man can
afford to throw all this over his shout
der simply because he ''has raised the
oats."-Hoard's Dairyman.

While various kinds of printed fab
RIGS were known to the people of most
remote antiquity. it was not till the
eighteenth century that wallpaper in
anything like its present form came
into common use in Europe. though it
appears to have been used much
earlier in China. a few rare examples
which may be as early as the six
teenth century exist in England. but
these are limitations. generally in
flock" of the old Florentine and
Genoese cut velvets. and hence the
style of the design in no way shows
the date of the wallpaper. the same
traditional patterns being reproduced
with little or no change for many
years. 1t was not till the end of the
last century that the machinery TO
make paper in long strips was invent
ed. Up to that time wallpapers were
printed on small square pieces of
handmade paper and were very ex-
pensive. On this account wallpaper
was slow in superseding the older
mural decorations. such as tapestry,
stamped leather and paper cloth.
A work printed in London in 1744
throws some light on the use of wall
papers at that time: THE method Of
printing wallpapers of the better sort
is probably the same now that it has
ever been. Wooden blocks with the
design cut in relief. one for each color.

ped in an elastic cloth sieve charged
with wet tempera pigment. great caro-
being taken to lay each block on the
right place 50 that the various colors
may register or fit together. In order
to suit the productions of the paper
mills these blocks are made in Eng.
land u inches wide. and in France l9
inches wide. The length of the block
is limited to what the workman can
easily lift with one hand-two feet be-
ing about the limit, as the blocks are
necessarily thick and in many cases
made heavier by being inlald with
copper, especially the thin outlines.

size. the flock (inely cut wood of the
required color, or metallic powder is

paper; it adhcres only to the wet size,

| ed to stand out in some relief, the pro-

whole paper then rolled to compress
the flock. Cheaper sorts of paper are

Tillage and Productivity.

There is nothing ike good tiliage to
bring out the full productivity Of the
soil. This fact should never be lost
sight of, although in the discussions Of
fertilizers all the importance is gener-
ally attached to them. No soil, how
ever rich, can do 1.-THE of its duty un-
less good, intelligent tillage is given to
1t each season. Cultivation must be-
gin early and continue late. The more
the soil can be turned over and pulver-
lied the more will its productivity be
increased Tilsge for the sake Of i'm
proving the soil should be the motto,
more than cultivation to keep down the
weeds. The latter is often the extent
to which many farmers go, for when
the weeds are killed they consider their
duty done.
A recent examination of the soils
showed that there were vast quantities
of plant food in them that their owners
had never dreamed Of They had been
ind fferenly cultivated for years, and
their owners classed them as medium
soils, neither very good nor very bad.
Some of these soils we're remarkably
rich in nitrogen and potash, and yet
they did not begin to yield the results
obtained from soils dressed with these
commercial fertilizers. What was the
difference? Simply that the potash
and nitrogen in the soil were not in an
immediate available condition, while in
the commercial fertilizers they we're.
The soil needed good tillage to develop
the potash and nitrogen so the plants
could Immediately take them up.
That is about the case with all of our
soils. They need cultivation to bring
out their possibilities, and to make the
potash and nitrogen Immediately avail
able. More than this, good cultivation
improves the mechanical conditions OF
the soil so that it performs its functions
much better. Most soils are not in a Il,
condition naturally for our fine cult
waited plants to thrive in, and they
need good treatment to prepare then
as seed beds. Many are so thick thai
there is no drainage, and the plants
suffocate or drown in them. Good cul
tivation breaks up the soil, pulverize'
it and enables the water to percolatt
properly through it to the subsoil. Thus
good tillage is essential to successful
farming. and is as important to the sol
itself as to the plants.-W. E. Farmer
in Massachusetts Ploughman.
