HOMESPUN PHILOSOPHY.

Comment on Commonp1 places by the
Atchison Globe Sage.
Some burdens are easier carried than
thrown off.
Whoever finds fool first plucks him
most thoroughly.
No young man can be in love with all
the nice girls.
No man can be always right, but he
always blames the other fellow.
You should keep your inward feel
ings secret, particularly silly ones.
If you don't believe you are a bore.
watch people get away when you turn
your back.
In extremely cold weather, people
can't understand that ice will ever be
in demand.
Somehow man who has sense
enough to keep his own counsel is new
er liked.
There should be good deal of pleas
ure getting into trouble; 1t is hard
enough getting out.
When what women call dainty" re-
freshments are served, the men present
never get enough to eat.
A little gambling game will attract
as many spectators as the ordinary
sermon, and hold them longer.
To agents: If you sell to a man who
does not want to buy, and who does
not need the article you sell him, 1t is
robbery.
There are too many of us who mag
Inc that an iron-clad resolution, born
every few hours, is all there is to being
economical.
No banker could ever succeed in put
ting his bank on such a firm financial
foundation that he could write poetry
without injuring it.
When a man wants a woman to take
a particular interest in him, he tells
her that some day he will tell her the
true story of his life.
An Atchison girl feels that she alone
knows what true suffering is. Her
lover is an actor, and every time she
sees him acting the hero, it is with an
other woman in his arms.

WILD GAME ABOUT EXTINCT.
Work of Exterminat ton in Switzer-
land rs Well Nigh Complete.

Switzerland will soon be entirely
free of wild animals If the rate of ex.
tinction that has prevailed of late is
maintained. In the official archives in
Zurich are records of the various
kinds of beasts that once existed in the
land of the red cross. Evidences Of
beaver life have been found on the
shores of Lake MOrat the bones and
skeletons being fully six centuries old.
One Of the tributary streams which
feed the lake is called Beaver brook,
the title being due to its former inhab-
itants. That the name is old is shown
by the fact that no beavers have lived
In Switzerland since the twelfth OF
thirteenth Gentry.
Brown bears were plentiful In the
mountain lands until the seventeenth
century. The last one killed Of which
there Is any official knowledge came to
his end in 1903 in Barbereche. Nova
days the bears that are raised in Berne
for various show purposes are import
ed young from other countries. Deer
were more than plentiful in the high
lands In olden times, but they were
cleaned out pretty well in 174S to 1850.
There is a record in the Swiss archives
that deer was seen in the woods in
1871, but it was apparently far from its
own stamping ground.
Up to the seventeenth century wolves
were such plaques that several cam
tons offered substantial premiums for
their heads and skins. 1t took ages to
chase them off the plains, and fully 100
years more to clean them out of the
highlands. Not a live wolf has been
seen in Switzerland since 1887. The
lynx disappeared about the same time.
Wild boars were numerous in the fif-
teenth and sixteenth centuries, but
none has ben encountered since 1900.
A few wildcats are reported to have
been shot since 1891, but the authori-
ties doubt the authenticity of the re-
ports.
Not less than seven prominent kinds
Of quadrupeds have been exterminated
In Switzerland in five centuries, not to
mention the world-famous wild goat,
or chamois. A few of these beautiful
animals are raised and kept by the
landlords of some of the leading resorts
to maintain the impression that cham
OILS are part and parcel of the Swiss
mountains. But they are domesticated
and are vastly different from the timid
little animals that nobility used to hunt
and poets rave about-New York

manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.

l FATAL MINE ACCIDENT
Four War Eagle Miners Killed and
One Escaped Death.

Rossland, B. c., May 20.-At 1890 this
morning terrible accident occurred in
the main shaft of the War Eagle mine,
whereby four men lost their lives. At the
hour stated, Mike Crook, w. F. Schofield,
H. A. Honeyford, James o. Palmer and
Thomas A. Neville entered the skip at the
250foot level. The engineer in charge
Robert Hall, started the machinery, but
the nut holding the mine bolt ON the starr
ing lever in some way not yet ascertained
worked off and the bolt fell out, throwing
Hall on his back. Control was thus lost
on the hoist, and it dashed down to the
foot of the shaft, $50 feet.
When the rescuing party climbed down
they found Honeyford, Palmer and Ne
vile quite dead, and smashed almost be-
yond recognition. Crook and Schofield, the
latter very badly and the former only
slightly hurt, were taken out of the mine
by the Iron Mask tunnel and conveyed to
the Sisters hospital. Schofield died today
at o'clock from his injuries. Mike Crook
however, has almost recovered. He
strange to say, was not hurt at all, and
only received a severe shock and shaking
up, but he was unable to give any ac-
count of the terrible trip down the shaft,
He will be able to leave the hospital in a
daV or So

Orchard and Garden.

Now is a good time to mulch.
Stake and tie up all the tomato
plants.
Cultivation in the orchard should
now stop.
Use liquid manure for watering
growing plants.
Cultivate the strawberry bed
thoroughly now.
Now is a good time to plant
cucumbers for pickles.
Most pears are of better quality
if ripened in the shade.
Do not let weeds go to seed in the
garden. Cut them down.
Sell all the fruit at home that
you can, even at fairly low prices.
Use pound bags for bagging
grapes Now is good time to do
the work.
Celery plants may be set out at
any time now. Have the soil in
good filth.
Grape vines that are allowed to
over-bear will not ripen their fruit.
Thin them out in good season.
A good fruit picker is essential in
the orchard, as many of the choicest
specimens are out at the ends of the
limbs.
Budding may be done as soon as
the bark of the stock peels freely
and the buds are in proper con-
dition.
One of the best ways of eradicat-
ing weeds in the walk is to sprinkle
them literally with salt or with
salt brine.
All young and newly-set trees
should be looked after now for bor-
ers. If any are found, dig them
out with wire
The only thing that can be done
to eradicate orange rust on rasp-
berries is to pull up and burn every
cane that shows the disease.
The proper time to gather pears
to ripen is indicated by the ease
with which the stem parts from the
branch when the fruit is lifted up

shoe the Horn Fly.

D. w. P, Hoyt, Kan, writes:
"Our dairy COWS are suffering from
swarms of the horn fly. Have you
any application that would give
even temporary relief?
The college dairy has tried the
following preparation, recommend
ed by F. A. Marlatt;
Fish oil, two quarts.
Crude carbolic acid, one pint.
Oil of pennyroyal, 1 ounce.
Oil of tar, 10 ounces.
Kerosene, one quart.
This preparation may be applied
with a brush, cloth or atomizer,
and will cause the flies to leave inn
mediately. All of the ingredients,
except kerosene, can be produced
at the drug store and will cost in
the neighborhood of 85c per gallon.
With the college herd of thirteen
calves we find that one gallon of
this mixture will make from forty
to forty-fve applications, and a
single application will keep the
flies off for two to three days
This will make the cost about &c.
per application, or about one-half
to cent per day per head.
The Kansas experiment station
is planning to make number of
tests with fly preparations, and may
have something cheaper to report
later.-D. H. o., in Kansas Farmer.

m aking Hay.

In making hay it is always best
to begin a few days before the
meadow is quite ready to cut. The
loss from cutting a week too soon is
not to be compared with the loss
arising from cutting week too late.
There is a difference between dried
grass and hay made from matured
grass, but if the stock is allowed to
choose, they will take the dried
grass. If we do not begin to make
hay until it is just right, bad
weather or other untoward circum-
stances will cause delays that will
afford the grass time to get too ripe,
and once this happens it is i'm
possible to make good hay of it.
There will be very little clover
hay in the West this year, and the
main dependence must be on tim
othy and prairie hay. Timothy
cutting should begin by the time
the blossoms fall from the heads.
We prefer to begin cutting as soon
as the dew is off in the morning. If
the weather is fair this is left until
the next day, when it is raked and
allowed to lie in the windrow an
hour or two and is then piled into
well-built cocks, where it can stand
until the next day, or two or three
days, if necessary. In these cocks
it begins to sweat, and pitching the
hay on the wagon and off into the
