Efective Farm Help.


livery spring ut the beginning OF farm
work an army Of hoboes flock to the
country claiming to be In search or
work. They remind. one of the old
English story Of two tramps who said
they had walked all over England try
ing to get work, but hoping all the
time they would be refused. Such help
Is worse than useless, yet 1t Is the
kind that the farmer is apt to get who
puts off hiring help until he gets be-
midland with work, and then seeks
the cheapest farm help, that Is, the
lowest price per month that he can
find. Generally these hoboes give them
selves away by asking in considera-
ton of their low wages that they be set
only at the easiest jobs. They most
always want to manage the horses, as
that they think involves little labor.
Such men are dear even IL they would
work for nothing. The only help that
will do the farmer any good is help
that understands the business of farm
ing, and is not afraid to tackle any
kind of work.. however hard and dis
agreeable it may be-. Such help is al
ways gobbled up early In the season,
or kept on yearly contracts, SO as to be
sure of them when hiring-out time
comes.

of simplicity has paradoxical sound, yet
1t applies to some of the prettiest of the
forthcoming gowns. Their elaboration
does not interfere with simplicity of out
line, and they will enable women of fine
figures to be handsomely attired without
hiding all their graceful lines by skirts
that are all frills from hem to belt, or by
bodices that show arbitrary lines and I'M
expected ILLNESSES. A downright stylish
woman is supposed to change her figure
every season or two. 1t Is pity that it is
not now reasonable to hope that these
changes are at an end, for this season
there is such fine chance for normally
graceful lines.

One Of the bad effects of frequently
blowing and thoroughly cultivating
soil is that. this runs. out the white
clover. which Is one of the most valu-
able pasture plants we have, besides
also furnishing the very best pasture
for bees. The plant is a iow-running
vine, roofing as 1t spreads through the
soil, yet being true clover, 1t rots
quickly when plowed under No one
of the grasses, except blue grass and
orchard grass, will stand drought so
well. and as most of its roots run near
the surface, a moderate rain revlves II,
and sets 1t to bloss0ming again. In
wet seasons bees make white clover
honey even up to September, IL there
are enough dry days for them to be
out. White clover Is a prolific seeder,
but owing to its creeping habit OF
growth the seed is hard to gather and
always sells high. 1t win pay to sow
some on land designed for pasture. and
gather the seed when 1t occupies the
whole land. II sown with. red clover
or aIsike no white clover will be seen.
But II is there under the growth Of the
larger clover, waiting to make big
growth when they die out.--American

Making sweet Soap Grease.

In many farmhouses all the scraps
of fat. cooked and uncooked. are
thrown together in large tub or ket-
tie, where, exposed to air. 1t quickly
becomes exceedingly offensive to the
senses. One wonders how it-can be
that such sinking grease. can be
changed into good, cleansing soap. But
1t Is, and the explanation is that the
thorough boiling which the grease with
the ley receives destroys all the offens-
i've germs. But 1t only does this after
much Of the value Of the grease has
been destroyed. Get cake of potash
and make a strong ley of 1t. Throw
this over the grease and fat, entirely
covering 1t. The grease will be partly
turned into soap by this, and will keep
sweet without any waste.

4 Landlord and Tenant Lease.
The Supreme Court of Georgia held,
In the recent case of Anderson Va
Swift, that a stipulation In a written
contract of lease that the lessee should
have the privilege Of erecting houses
on the premises, to be removed by him
dt the eApiIutiou VI AiS icooC Va SoA>~
to. the lessor at per cent. less than
the cost Of the buildings" Is not sum
GENTLY certain and reciprocal to sup
port an action by the former against
the latter for such cost of the houses
when the plaintiff rta3es for recovery
solely OH the provision in the contract
above quoted, and upon the fact that
the lessor refused to purchase the
buildings when the lease had expired.
The court further held that when q
landlord In his contract of lease with .
tenant agrees to usesan effort to re-
move from the leased premises a GER
tain nuisance, expressly stipulating,
however, that If such effort prove un.
successful the tenant should be salts
fed ito keep the premises and pay full
rent therefor, an action for damages
growing out of failure to use such
effort will not lie unless the plaintiff
expressly alleges tlrat such effort on the
part of the landlord would have been
availing, and that this is especially
true when the contract contemplated
work to be done by the tenant looking
to an abatement of the nuisance, which
he never actually performed or offered

Narrowing Pastures.

Nothing is more beneficial to an old
pasture than to harrow 1t thoroughly
every spring. A few roots may be
broken on, but the stirring which the
surface soil receives opens 1t to air and
to receive the rains which will set them
to growing more vigorously than be
fore. Another good effect of tie har-
rowing Is to break up the excrement
dropped by the. stock LIE previous year,
and scatter II sosthat 1t can fertilize a
greater nu.nber Of plants.
