USE GOOD PAINT ONLY.
1t LcnEthens the Life and Usefulness
Of Lumber and the Metal in
Farm Imp pie mcmtx.

It is reckless to permit buildings,
yard fences, wagons, machinery and
implements to go without paint. A
well-painted wire or yard fence, of
course, looks better than one that is un-
painted. But it is not the looks as much
as the preservation Of the object paint
ed that is the purpose of painting. The
life Of anything that we usually paint
is greatly heightened by an application
of coat of paint. There is usually too
much false economy where we paint a
building. The average man thinks he
can do it the cheapest. Never was n
greater mistake made. "How can it
be done the best?" should be the in
4uiry. Many paints hardly last year.
They crack and blister and by holding
the dampness in these cracks, are
worse than no paint. Pure white lead
and oil will last seven or eight years;
and if once or twice during that time
a coat Of oil is applied, the surface will
be frightened and the protection in
creased. In the use of good paint some
one who understands something about
painting had better unemployed. The
job will be more neatly and economical

suits is the Kubanka wheat from the
Kuban territory, in the Volga region.
While this is spring wheat in Russia,
it is believed it can be changed to a
winter wheat here. It is harder than
any of our wheats, and is the great
bread wheat of the Volga region. This
wheat needs warm climate and is
expected to give good results in Texas,
No-Man ISLAND, western Kansas and
eastern Colorado. 1t does best in Rus
STA, where the annual rainfall is only
Is inches. In western Kansas the an
nual rainfall is IS inches.
A variety called Polish wheat, which
was obtained, has the largest grain of
all wheat in the world, the average
length Of the kernels being about FIVE
sixteenths of an inch. Like the Ku-
banka, it is exceedingly hard, but is
not bread wheat. It's use is in pastry
and as a macaroni wheat. The Polish
wheat needs a warm climate.
Several varieties of broom millet are
to come. These are for cold, dry eli
mates. They are grown in Russia for
the seeds principally and are used for
food in the way of soups and gruels.
1t is possible that we may thus add
something desirable to our dietary.
Two varieties of oats, the Swedish and
Tobolsk, are expected to be the thing
needful in the dry, cold regions of the
west. The government importation is
from this selected seed. The other va
riety is from Tobolsk, in the northern
part of Siberia, where it is dry and
cold.
The total importations amount to
about 80 varieties of cereals and for
age plants, besides vegetable seeds and
melons.

AN UNWELCOME SINGER.
How q, Musical Donkey Interfcred
with the Recita ton OF
Poet.

Opie Read, the novelist, and Charles
Eugene Banks, the poet, once made a
tour together in Arkansas, giving read
ings from their own work. One even
ing in q certain town just 2s Banks had
started to recite favorite and touching
poem his own-a donkey in shed
just behind the "opera house" lifted up
his mighty voice, and brayed as hoarse-
~ and vociferously as ever donkey did.
The partition wall between the opera
house and the donkey shed was so thin
and open that it seemed as if the donkey
was at Banks elbow.
The poet managed to get through
his verses despite the discordant ac-
compartment, and then Reads turn
came. He went on and told story, and
the donkey was respectfully silent. But
when Banks went on again the Ba-
laamite steed broke forth with renewed
vigor. The audience Uttered, and
Banks was indignant, but pulled
through.
Again Read told story without him
drance, and then again the donkey
started in with Banks. A rude boy in
the gallery shouted:
zone at time down thcre:''
Read, moved by pity for his associate,
bribed a stage boy to lead the donkey
affair off, and detain the unwelcome
singer until the entertainment was
over William Lightfoot Visscher, in
Woman's Home Companion.

or should not, go. Hand labor can cope
with it only when first it makes its adj
vance.
Another matter. Northern men have
made sad mistakes in making locations
in the south where the land was over
run with broom-sedge which in their
inexperience they mistook for grass.
Lands have been bought at far more
than their real values, live stock has
been turned on broom-sedge pastures
and been starved, almost before the
owners realized the cause of the
trouble. One should study this mat
ter well before investing in a farm in
the south. Of course it may grow on
good land; only do not depend on the
sedge to support any northern bred an

Nlonurlnss in the Hill.

No coarse manure should ever be put
in the hill in contact with or under the
seed. 1t will dry out the soil and do
more harm than good. All that is need
ed in the hill is either some concen-
trated mineral fertilizer, or very lit
tie well-rotted stable manure, made as
fine as possible and mixed well with the
soil. 1t needs very little to give the
plants vigorous start, when if the
land around the hill is made as rich as
it should be, the roots will forage for
themselves till the end of the season

THE COUNTS LITTLE ERROR.

Through Grinding the
Coffee.

"Well, if it isn't Daisy!"

you.''
''You needn't. My engagement with
the count is off,
what! You don't mean to say you
have broken with him?'
''But do, most assuredly. Something
has occurred which renders it quite i'm
possible for me ever to regard the count
in the light of a future husband.'
Nonsense, my dear. You shouldn' t
take the thing so much to heart. These
little quarrcls are half the fun of being

that were all shouldn't consider our
engagement at an end. It is something
very much more serious than tiff
''Gracious, dear, whatever can have
happened? Did you discover that he
has Il past?"
Listen and Judge for yourself: Last
Thursday a week he took me to the
chafng-dish party in Mrs. Ronald s
studio. At first everything went swim
mingly. The count looked by far the
most distinguished man in the room,
and he was SO gallant and devoted that
] really felt quite proud of him. We
had some music and everybody was
delighted with his voice. When the
time came for supper Mrs. Ronald an
nounced that she was going to call
upon every gentleman present to do
something toward preparing the meal.
Just like Mrs. Ronald, wasn't it? She's
always full of original schemes. Well,
everybody just jumped at the idea, and
we thought it would be no end of fun
to watch those poor men struggling
with household tasks. And so it was.
Of course they violently objected, but
it was no use-each had to do his share.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Don't expect first-class oats from
sccond-class seeds.
Keep the work on the farm well in
hand. Never let it get control of you.
Mix brains, common sense and muscle
in about equal parts and success is GER
tain.
Corn is good for night feed and for
sitting hens, as it maintains bodily
heat.
Good help on the farm is the cheapest,
upon the same principle that good
article is always the cheapest.
Smut increases from year to year if
the land on which it makes it appear
ance is used for the same CROP
Make your plans to include good
large garden next year. There's money
in the garden and good health, too.
Resolve not to let cookie, thistles,
docks or any other specially-annoying
plant go to seed on your farm this sea-
son.
Debt makes the pillow harder to hold
and causes the victuals to be less palata-
Die. Keep out of debt just as far us
possible.
Boiled potatoes and boiled peas,
mashed together, and fed with sour
milk, will put flesh on hogs faster than
corn, it is said.
We grow on an average in this coun-
try ~ bushels of wheat to the acre. II
we grew 30 bushels we could make
wheat growing pay.
Set it down as fact that hay, corn,
oats and fodder of all kinds are worth
GO per cent. more if fed ont On the farm
than if sold to be fed elsewhere.
Where mixed farming is followed
some oats can nearly always be grown

Manure for early Potatoes.

1t is hardly possible to make land too
rich where the Early crop of potatoes
is to be planted. The rich soil insures
early growth of the plants, and that
they will come up with thick, vigor-
GUS stalks, which is the unfailing sign
of good crop. Too much manure will
cause rot in potatoes late in the season,
but with early potatoes the crop is gen.
orally harvested before it has time to
either mature or rot. Generally the
early potato crop may be got off in time
to plant cabbage for late crop. and
there will be richer soil for the ca bbage
roots than there was while the potatoes
were growing.

WHEAT FROM RUSSIA.
Drought Here By the Agricultural
Department for the Benefit OF
American Farmers.

During the last year the United States
department of agriculture has had four
agricultural explorers at work in diff
ferent parts of the world, having in
view the introduction into the United
States of such seeds and plants as may
prove to be of economic value. Prof.
Mark A. Carleton has just returned from
Russia. He is confident that some of
the seeds he secured will prove of ben
eft. He mentions a winter rye which
is grown at Ust-sisolsk, which is in
about 60 degrees north latitude. The
climatic conditions are similar to those
of Labrador. It is believed that this
rye will do we'll in Alaska.

Accomplished and WinsO1ne Geishc'


The Geisha came into evidence in
Japan in the middle of the last century,
and in remarkably short time her
popularity was such that her presence
became indispensable at parties, which,
but for her contagious vivacity and
mirth, would perhaps have been fiat and
insipid. Her duties are not merely to
serve tea and dance for the entertain
mcnt of her patrons, but she is ex-
pected to laugh and talk gayly, even if
on the most trivial subjects. A geisha
must be highly accomplished in many
ways. She plays the samisen and often
a number of other musical instruments,
dances, sings and talks, and her remu-
neration is generally large. - Onoto

DEADLIEST OF WEEDS.
Broom Sedge, n Native Of the South,
Has Begun to lnfest the
North and West

There is weed far more deadly than
and yet discussed, that is the broom
sedge, Andropogon scoparius, the
grass of the worn soils of the south.
All southern farmers know this per-
nicious weed, that creeps into their
pastures and meadows, roofing sout tim
othy, roofing out bluegrass, roofing
out all useful vegetation, covering the
abandoned fields with reddish brown
and waving in the wind like the grass
of western prairie. They know, too,
that animals will starve to death when
broom-sedge grows up to their eyes.
1t seems to have some nutritious quail
tiles when green and fresh, and in the
arid west it is common grass on some
ranges and is there esteemed, though
unworthy even there of the esteem in
which it is held, have no doubt.
OF late this weed is creeping north
ward. 1t has invaded West Virginia.
It has crossed the Ohio river and is
seen in Ohio and Pennsylvania and
doubtless eastward. 1t comes first as
single tuft of yellowish red grass,
standing above the other grasses. 1t
has light, cottony seed and feathery
top. The seed blows about and the
clumps increase. Sooner or later all
the valuable grasses have disappeared
and the sedge reigns supreme. Then
the field must be plowed, cleaned and
rcseeded. It is hard to plow, but doubt
less is of benefit as a soil builder, at
least as a soil fertility arrester.

excellent grazing countries that are
now practically worthless because of
having been overspread with this vile
