SHE PLAYED PARTY.
Story OF How a Detroit Woman
Cured Her Husband.

1t was very late when a certain De-
troit man stepped out of his club and
turned his face homwards. Whether
any thought of the wife waiting for
him, alone in the big house, assailed
him, is not known, but it is true that
said wife had waited many nights till
"all hours for the delinquent hus-
band. Perhaps she had demonstrated
with him-wives are prone to do SO.
sometimes-but be that as 1t may, it
was very late, on this particular night.
Some dim vision of the big, dark
house looming up in the gloom, with
one small light twinkling in the hall,
left for him, may have risen in his
mind. At all events. he hurried his
footsteps as he neared the last cor
ner.
Then a strange sight burst upon his
view. He stopped and rubbed his eyes
to make sure that he was not mis-
taken in the building. But, no, it
was his own house, aflame from base
ment to attic with the brilliance of gas
jets. Every shade was raised, leaving
only lace curtains between the blaze
of glory and the street, hooking, flmy
things, that revealed, while they con-
cealed. what was going on within. And
what on earth could be going on, and
he not invited? Some large social func-
ton, apparently, was in full swing.
He felt a twinge of anger as he as
cended the steps, at not having been
notified of such doings. He listened
an instant for the murmur of voices,
the pulse of music, or the rhythm of
dancing feet. But all was silent as the
grave. He tried the street door. 1t
was locked. He gently inserted his
latch-key. and with a strange fore
boding that he was under some hallu-
cination. opened the door, stepped into
the hall. and from thence into the
brilliantly lighted parlors.
Beneath the flaming chandelier with
every burner turned an full head, sat
his wife alone, calmly reading a book.
She looked up when he entered, and
smiled sweetly. The man stared. Then
he gasped:
"What-what-why, Eleanor. what's
going on? Are your-your guests all
gomez"
My guests?" she queried. There
are no guests. I've been alone = as
usual"
Then, what does all this mean, I'd
like to know" said the husband, wav-
ing his hand in a manner that meant
to include the whole house and it's gay
appearances.
'Oh," said the wife, II got lonesome
and thought I'd play I had a party. So
I turned on the lights. I do hope folks
who passed thought we were having a
splendid time. 1t has really been quite
fun to sit here and fancy what fine
look the house must have.''
But, great Caesar, woman, have
you thought of the expense? What do
you suppose the gas bill will be this
month? How long have you had these
burners going?"
"Oh, since you went away at 8
o'clock. And I'm going to play party
every time you stay at the club after
this"
There was ring of determination in
the woman's voice, notwithstanding
her sweet smile.
Since s o'clock! and now it was
after ?.
Sadly that man Travelled from base
ment to attic, and one by one those
jets of gas were extinguished And
there has been no lonely woman in
that house since, playing party."-De-
troit News Tribune.

Peanut nutter.

A new factory has just been put into
operation in Kokomo, Ind, for the
manufacture of butter from peanuts,
says the ST. Louis Globe-Democrat For
a year or more Ian Bros of that city
have been working on process Of max
ing butter from the peanut to compete
with the product of the farm COW, and
have succeeded in producing the desired
article. AT the present price of the nuts
the butter can be sold at Is cents per
pound. The process of manufacture rs
no secret. The nuts, after the bulls are
removed, are carefully hand picked and
faulty kernels removed. They are then
roasted in large rotary oven. Again
they are gone over by hand for the re-
moval of scorched grains. The nuts are
then put through II i'll and ground as
fine as the fMest fiorr, the natural oil
in the grains giving It the appearance
and consistency of putty as it leaves the
mill, except that it is more of an grange
color. By the addition of filtered water,
to reduce it to a more pliable state, the
butter is complete, no other ingredient,
not even salt, being used. 1t never
grows rancid and keeps in any climate.
1t is put up in /, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 100
pound tin cans and sealed. The new
butter is already in great demand at
sanitariums and health resorts.

Sailing Cows In summer.

The best way to salt cows is to leave
some rock salt under covered place
where the stock can lick 1t at Will.
They will then never get more than is
good for them, but will go up and lick
a small quantity once every day or
two. We know farmers who make it
their practice to salt cows every Sun
day morning 1t is not breaking the
Sabbath to any serious extent, and the
owner Of the stock has the pleasure Of
noting its condition and whether there
are any animals In the lot that appear
unthrifty. We have often sailed the
cows Sunday morning by throwing
fine salt thinly over grass while 1t was
covered with morning dew. Some Of
the salt might be lost, but we thought
from the way the grass was eaten that
not much would be wasted that way.
When we sailed sheep by throwing
salt on wet grass, they ate the grass

SIZE OF slLos.
si1age In Summer Is an ExceIlena
SoiI1ng Crop.

SOiHng Crop.
Until quite recently the idea has
been to build the silo just large enough
to afford six months feeding, but now
there is an enlargement of the plan, as
it is found by exhaustive trials that
silage In summer Is the most effectual
soiling crop yet tried and surest. The
man who has silage in summer to feed
with pasturage is independent. of the
feed seller, and nothing will hold the
cows up so from shrinkage. So there
is larger planning, more silage ca
pacity, either in larger si1os or in
smaller ones, now that the tub silo is
SO much in evidence.
The old allowance of four and one
half tons per COW, allowing for vast
age, is now made larger, and six tons
per COW is supposed to be about right,
so as to give her ton and half in
the midsummer. The capacity of the
square silo is quickly ascertained by
estimating that COW will need Gu.
bic foot of silage day. This for 1870
days would be little over four tons,
and 45 pounds to the foot would make
1T necessary to provide about 200 cubic
feet for each COW. So multiply the
number of cows by 200 and build the
pits to hold CORRESPONDENCE In round
silos the figuring is different, and as
circle has never as yet been squared
we append a table figured out for all
sizes of round silos.
