is SHE RIGHT?

Said bright, brown eyed woman
the other day: 81 do get tired of that
old masculine prejudice that women
as class are stingy. The men all
think we are as close as the bark on
a tree, except of course when it
comes to our own apparel. Then we
are extravaganza, III their estimation.
What else can we be when a weekly
dole is parceled out with the injunc-
ton Make it go as far as you camp
And it does not tend to make us par
ticularly happy and generous hearted
to behold the expression on the face
of the man of the house when he re-
ceives bill that we honestly labored
to keep down to a minimum. The
habit of close buying, Of counting
every penny before it is spent, is
practiced by housewives and not by
those women who are making their
own Tires and their own living. They
are answerable for money spent to
no man, and as result they are free
hearted as the men. If we are stingy,
it is because we feel that we must be
careful in order to make our hus-
bands incomes come out at the least
even. - Now, how near is she right

POULTRY POINTERS.

A Kentucky hen has adopted three
quail as part of her family.
The shell of an egg contains about
30 grains of salt of lime, or about 20
grains of pure uncombined lime, be-
sides the lime that is in the mineral
matter of the white and yolk. The
quality of the she'll should be con-
sidered when feeding by selecting
those foods which are richest in lime.
To produce the shell Of one egg there
is needed 100 grains of lime.
If fowls are exposed to unusual
conditions, as of transfer to other
yards or travelling to and from shows,
feed them we'll before they leave,
making them sluggish and sleepy,
and upon arrival or return give a
meal of bread soaked in ale and
squeezed dry or mash in which is a
stimulant of some other sort.

MILKING IN FLYTIME.

The perpetual switching of a cows
tail into the mixers face and eyes
is extremely annoying, aside from the
liability of getting dirt switched
from the tail into the milk pail.
Some mixers tie the cows tail to
her leg, but the MES make the COW so
uneasy that she will soon switch her
tail loose or else will break into q
run. The best way to keep flies from
COWS is to rub a little grease over
their back and sides, and very little
will be enough. Then spread over her
branches cut from the trees, allowing
the green leaves to extend down her
sides. The mixer can then milk in
comfort. 1t will need fresh branch
every two or three days, keeping it
in water when not used as shade for
the COW.

PRACTICAL NUT GROWING.

On almost every farm there is more
or less space which could be utilized
and converted into nut grove at very
little expense or trouble-the steep
sides Of swale or gully, hillsides
that are too steep to cultivate, row
OF nut trees planted on each side of
the lane, or planted in fields used as
permanent pasture; in the latter case
the trees, if not planted too thickly,
would add to the value of pasture
land by the delightful shade given.
Nature seems to have distributed
the various kinds of nuts in soils and
localities best suited to their growth.
For instance, the chestnut is always
found growing on sandy soil, while
a hickory is rarely found growing in
sandy localities, yet would thrive in
sand if planted there. The chestnut
will thrive if planted in almost any
deep rich soil where there is good
drainage. I have often heard it said
that chestnut tree if planted on any
but sandy soil would not live, and
| have also heard it asserted that it
cannot be transplanted successfully !;
but | have proved to my own satisfac-
ton that both of these can be done
quite successfully. The chances Of
success can be made greater by intro
ducing q little of the soil natural to
the tree into the hole in which it is
to be planted.
The writer transplanted some 10 or
10 sweet chestnut trees last spring.
Digging good sized holes, we careful
ly placed the trees in them and then
filled the holes nearly full of sand.
After pressing down the sand we
covered the latter with about two or
three inches of clay loan to- prevent
their drying out All but one or two
of these trees are alive and will be
grated the coming spring with i'm
proved varieties.
Not long since l. read an article on
chestnut culture by Jacob Dingee of
Pennsylvania. Mr. Dingee's method
was to cut off the old trees or any
young ones that were too old to graft
down to the ground. They would
then send up new growth of sprouts.
These were thinned out the next year
to few more than were needed. At
each stump or root the sprouts were
grated when two or three years old
They were afterward again thinned
out to suitable dist.

TO SAVE A Two-cENr STAMP.

The internal revenue law which re-
quires the placing of a two-cent
stamp upon each and every check is
sued does not require stamps upon
receipts for money drawn from bank
by depositors. In other words, de-
positor who desires to draw money
for his own use can use form of re-
ceipt instead of check and present
it at his bank unstamped and obtain
the money named in it, The Second
National Bank has had receipts
printed for this use at the bottom Of
which is contained this clause: eff
this receipt is presented by any other
than the drawer it will require two
cent revenue stamp" To persons
drawing many checks for pay roll and
other uses where they are not for
warded out of the city this will effect
considerable of a saving.

The New York consulate of the

the Association Cycling clubs have
appointed joint committee for the
purpose of acting with Z the city
officials in the matter of repairing
streets and the opening of the new
ones.
The League of American Wheelmen
provides for veteran membership,
all those who have been identified
with the organization for ten CON
secutiye years being entitled to this
classification. It is interesting to note
that though cycling is comparatively
young there are many members of the
league who will have been identified
with it for 20 consecutive years when
next Memorial day rolls around.

the 1900 national meet of the Il. A.
w. as long ago as last year, will not
be without competitors for the honor
of entertaining the wheelmen of the
country. Chicago, Detroit and Cleve-
land are the latest to announce their
intention of making the Wisconsin
town hustle to win out. 1t is expected
that Buffalo will also be in the race
before long, though defeated for the
meet this year. Detroit is the model

visitors royal welcome.
The Michigan division of the
League of American Wheelmen has
started an innovation in the move
ment for good roads that is expected
to prove a practical success and in
the opinion of the officials of the di-
vision will do more to stimulate in
terest in the movement in that state
than anything that has heretofore
been done in the cause. This new idea
is to provide good roads bureau of
information under the charge of the
chairman of the highway improve
ment committee, and from that bureau
competent speakers will be provided
for farmers institutes, grange socie-
ties, wheelmen' meetings and wher-
ever there is an interest in the road
question. These speakers include the
most competent good roads advocates
in the state.
