/. THE BEST WAY,

Perhaps there is no more sensible
manner in which the old man who is
loath to give up his farm can end his
days than to retain the old home,
which has so many sacred associa-
tons connected with 1t, and build a
comfortable tenant house for the use
of some good man to be hired by the
mouth to carry on the old place. The
old man, while he cannot work any
more, still likes to boss the job as well
as he ever did, and this plan gives him
the chance, while if he moves to town
he soon finds himself without anything
to do except loaf around the stores and
monkey with politics by running for
county supervisor, neither Of which in
the long run is good thing for him.
Keep the old farm home, get nice,
low, easy carriage, SO you and mother
can 60 to town with comfort, build the
tenant house, get n good man and take
comfort bossing him as long as YOU
live.

PALArAnIL1TY OF Foop.

The Importance of the palatability Of
the ration for stock, especially for the
milk COW, should always be kept in
mind. The COW has very nice and re-
fined tastes as to her food supply. and
there is no doubt but that tho sense Of
taste is as highly developed with her as
with man. Hunger will force both the
man and the COW to eat wholly dis
tasteful and unpalatable ration. but
food go eaten cannot be and never is of
so much value as food which is tasty
and palatable and which is eaten with
a relish. The COW is but machine for
converting raw vegetable material into
milk, and the more of such food she can
be induced to eat and assimilate the
larger will be her milk product.

WOMEN AND REF1yEMENr.


Farm work from very necessity is
much of it dirty work, and the natural
tendency of being obliged to constantly
do dirty work is to become in some de-
gree Indifferent to the refined side Of
life. This tendency must be constant
~ guarded against, for cleanliness and
refinement are almost inseparable. The
woman in the farm home has more to
do with the maintenance of refinement
in the members Of the home and the
home itself than any other person. A
rough and ready, happy go lucky man
agement of the farm home by It's mis-
tress will soon beget on the part of the
children and the men Of the house a
roughness, coarseness and Indifference
to the little courtesies and niceties of
living which should have no place in
such home. 1t will manifest itself
in the serving of the meals and in the
general style in which the household
work is done. Nothing save the influ-
ence and example Of refined woman
hood prevents one-half Of the men
from reverting straight back to saw
agery and barbarism. Woman should
recognize this responsibility more than
she does and never, even with all her
work and family cares, lose sight of
the fact that she Is the custodian of
whatever refinement her family may
possess,

Bell is great scout and the man that

nest near Quingua (sing-wah), on April

plenty of hard service before their time
expires. They ought to stand the eli
mate pretty well as most of them have
been here for n year or over, enduring
all kinds of hardships and weather.
They will do more effective work than
the new regiments of regulars that arc
