FLOWERS FOR OLD STAMPS.
How the Women of ST. Marks EpiE.
cOpal Church In Chicago Get
Altar Decorations.

One church congregation in Chicago
collects $4,000 cancelled postage stamps
every week, and 100000 in year. This
is st. Marks Episcopal church, corner
Cottage Grove avenue and Thirty-siXth
street. These stamps are sold to flor
list for eight cents thousand, and in re-
turn he furnishes flowers for the altar
every Sunday. For long time the COM
mittee of ladies in charge of the church
decoration were dismayed at the scant
appropriation for the purchase of flow
ers. At last one of them hit upon the
plan of selling old postage stamps. En-
thusiasm was communicated to the
Sunday school pupils. They visited of
fees of vestrymen and prominent
church members downtown and got
them to save the postage stamps on
their correspondence. Ladies Of the
church began to carry on a correspond
ence with long-neglected friends for
the sake of accommodating cancelled
postage stamps, and the habit is now
fixed, says the Inter Ocean.
"Why, I'd as soon think Of throw
ing away car fare as to waste old post
age stamps" said one.
The stamps at first were counted, but
now an arrangement has been made
with the florist to take them by weight.
1t is said that they are purchased by
foreign paper mills. Owing to the fine
quality of the material used by Uncle
Sam for stamps they make over into an
excellent brand Of paper.

SHE IS GROWING RICH.
About $4,000 YearI$-She
Is q MasseuBe.

Half the world is as ignorant of how
the other half makes its money as of
how it lives. There is Chicago wom-
an, for instance, who earns with her
hands yearly sums that would make
the average brain worker envious. She
does not print, nor write, nor design,
nor make dresses, nor do any of the
things that one usually picks out as
woman's work. She earns all this
money by giving massage to women.
She is not in any way an impressive
woman. She is of medium size and mid
die age. She gives one the idea of be-
ing in perfect health and of being kind
ly and sympathetic. Otherwise there
is nothing noticeable about her. But
her patrons consider her a wonderful
woman.
Most of her work is done at the homes
of her patrons, though they may come
TO her establishment at about half the
home rate. She rubs woman an hour
at each visit, and her patrons are posi-
tive that she imparts to them tremen-
dous amount of vitality.
Of course, there are many women en-
gagged in massage. The only remark
able thing about this particular woman
is the amount of money she earns. Her
monthly receipts run from 5000 to $500,
every dollar of which she earns person

Chicago Times-Herald]
There was man in our town
Who rushed along the street,
When suddenly he felt the world
Recede beneath his feet.
A teamster had delivered coal
And then pursued his way
He left the msnhole open, so
There was the deuce to pay.
The man who hurried never saw
The yawning hole ahead
He made some bitter comments as
He disappeared, It's said.
Now comes the moral of the tale:
"A cyclone from the west
Came down the street, as cyclones do.
And never stopped to rest.
The coal man and his team were first
Tied into forty knots,
And then distributed in chunks
Ger fifty vacant lots.
The street was ripped from end to end
And split up through the middle
Not one who walked in 1t was left
To dance or play the fiddle.
But he who hadn't seen the hole.
And so had fallen through,
Came out, when all was over. just
About Us good as new.
Keep back the things that thou wouldst
say
When Fate seems harsh with thee;
1t may turn out the other way,
So walt awhile and see.

ALL AROUND THE FARM.

If manures are permitted to remain
outdoors in the storm, it is estimated
that 60 per cent. of their value is leached
out.
Have tight gutter in the COW stables
to catch the liquid manure and absorb
1t with leaf mold, cut straw, road dust,
etc.
Cattle destroy more pasture by tread
ing it down than they do by eating the
grass. Hence it is advised to divide the
pastures into several pots.
When fertilizers are necessary, the
wastefulness of letting the homemade
manure go to waste and buying art-
fetal fertilizers should not be practiced.
Good pastures are valuable in one di-
rection that is not always thought OF,
the COW does not need to wear herself
out in getting what she wants to eat.
She will pretty nearly do this on thin
pasture.-Western Plowman.
Raising quail on Farms.
A Missouri young man, c. Gross, OF
Morgan county, says an exchange, has
built up large business in tame quail,
which he claims are more easily raised
than chickens and far more profitable,
selling alive at four dollars per dozen
for meat, or when tame at five dollars
per pair as pets. The eggs hatch well,
either under quail or common hens.
The care and food are much like that
for chickens and the birds prove very
hardy and free from disease. The
coops are only foot high, covered over
the top and are movable.

STANDARD VARIETIES.
why Farmers Should Select Their
Poultry from Breeds Known
to BE Satisfactory.

T.. f. McGraw, in the Reliable Poultry
Journal, sounds the note Of alarm by
asking this pertinent question:: "Will
we ever perfect few good varieties, or
will we continue to drift into new"
This is, indeed, serious question and
one of vital Importance to practical
poultry breeders everywhere, COM
ments the Southwestern Farmer. The
question plainly stated is, will we re-
tain the practical features of poultry
culture or drift into exclusive fancy?
In the past decade there have been
many new varieties introduced, and
among them all there are none with
more good qualities, or that have
proven more profitable to the practical
breeders than those we had before. II
all the effort and money spent booming
new breeds had been directed toward
the improvement of the old varieties 1t
might not be necessary now for breed
ers to want to remove color and other
disoualifcations from the standard.
They practically admit they cannot
breed them true and want authority to
conform the standard to their flock.
1t is true that many who are merely
"fanciers" have made money from new
varieties, but there are none who have
succeeded in bringing more desirable
points than existed in the old breeds.
Brown Leghorns are superior in every
way to the buff, but there has been
thousands invested in this variety, and
may add, there are hundreds of disap-
pointed breeders, also. The same may
be said of nearly any of the new ones.
Farmers, especially, will find it to
their interest to make their selection OF
breeds from the old standard varieties
and thus avoid the trouble that will
surely follow in attempting to breed
any of the new additions to anywhere
near the standard requirements.
Let us perfect few varieties first,
increase their laying qualities and
size, and greater profits will be realized
than from any other course.
We are now neglecting breeds which
have merit and looking for something
new and of uncertain value, from q
,,van+ioa1 standpoint-

s. 8. 8. FOR The BLOOD
DISMEMBERING CORN.
Experiments In This Direction, Conc
Quoted in Different Sections,
Have Proved Failures.

A good many experiments have been
made to determine if anything could
be gained by cutting off portions Of
the corn plant during growth. Some
times it has been the roots, sometimes
the part of the plant above the ears,
and sometimes only the tassels. a
part of the experiments have seemed
to give fair results, but others have
given decidedly bad results. a third
class of experiments has been without
result. 1t is probable that what little
good was obtained was q mere acct
dent, for the reason that two plats OF
corn will never yield exactly the same,
even though all conditions are exactly
identical. But the trials have proved
that at least nothing is gained, and
experience would seem to teach that
there must be an actual loss. a gen
Grafton ago it was the practice in some
parts of the country to cut off the
whole of the corn plant above the ears
Immediately after the silk and the
pollen were supposed to have done
their work. The farmer thus got a
great deal of fodder for his cattle, and
imagined that his corn plant would
elaborate the same weight of ears
without the top as with it. No notice
was taken of the fact that the foliage
of plant is needed for the elaboration
of the grain of the plant. 1t is prob
able that in most cases the yield Of
corn was greatly decreased by this
practice. The custom without doubt
remains to-day, especially in the east
ern states, where the fields are SO
small in area that the practice of thus
robbing the corn crop can be carried
on naturally and easily.
Root-pruning is another method of
dismembering the corn plant that has
not proved of advantage. So far as VIC
remember, no experiment at the sta
tons has given results showing an adj
vantage of any kind. In tests at tie
Illinois station root-pruning reduced
the yield about 20 per cent. At the
New York station root-pruning the
corn crop reduced the yield more than
nine bushels per acre in grain and
more than 1000 pounds in fodder
