A mirror large and long enough for
the tallest member of the family to
see himself from top to toe, is among
the most useful articles of furniture
IN every house. 1t is, in fact, more
necessary than carpets, (Which are
unnecessary, or window curtains,
(onIy shades or shutters are neces
sary), pictures on the walls, pillow
shams, table cloths, brio brac, and
endless other things too numerous to
mention. A good mirror helps us to
see ourselves as others see US; it
shows US that we are ragged, dirty,
ripped in seams, taggy and uneven in
skirts, ill fitting collars and waists,
neckties askew, hair unkempt and I'M
becomingly arranged, scowling faces,
quarreling colors, bumped shoulders,
In brief all the faults and short COM
ings in dress and carriage of the body.
A hand mirror shoul;; hang beside it,
and between the two a fair estimate
of ones appearance can be made.
Men and women who look the best,
make use of the looking glass, and it
is imbecile to ignore its Importance.
Instead of breeding vanity it explodes
it. Between buying new gowns, hats,
coats, chairs, or chests, buy the look
ing glass, and see that it is good one,
with plain solid frame and likely to
last forever. Then hang it in a good
light in the every day living ROOM

The advantage of keeping land fat
with fertilizing material is overlooked
by too many farmers. BY fat land is
meant land we'll filed with,decompos-
ed vegetable matter, and in which is
still retained a goodly measure of
nitrogen and mineral matter available
to any plant growth that may be
wanted. Such soil on being opened
with the pillow looks dark colored, rich
and unctious, and appears mellow
and lively. 1t is ready to give a fur
Their crop without added manure.
With further liberal fertilization it is
practically sure to produce bountiful
ly and pay generously for all work
applied to it. An element of certainty
as well as an assurance Of bounty is
thereby secured. At the same time
no more of labor cost is involved in
the production of a crop, and no
more of the material out of which
plants are made is used up.

ONE OF LIES SHADOWS.

At eight o. clock the other morning
a young wife followed her husband to
the gate as he was starting for down
town, and kindly said to him:
civilian, you know how sadly
need new bunting dress"
eyes DEAR" he remarked" but you
know how hard up am. AS soon as
can see my way clear you shall have
the dress. and new hat to boot. Be
patient, be good, and your reward
shall be great"
Forty minutes after that he emerged
from restaurant with big basket
and fish-pole, bound up the river.
In the basket was chicken, pickles,
cake, fruit, pie, and bottle of liquid
of rich color, and he was just light
ing twenty five cent cigar, when his
wife came along.
"Whatl you here'' he exclaimed.

Where are you going-what's in the

"Sh! Don't talk so loud!"

she exclaimed. "I'll bet you are 60

''Mary have I ever deceived you?"
he plaintively asked. 81 never have!
AS proof of my sincerity you can
take this basket to the asylum your
self"
"And I'll do It'll" she promptly re-
piled as she relieved him of it.
"Mary, hadn't you"
''No, sir, I hadn't! You'd better
hurry up with that fsh-poIe, as the
man may want it, and be careful how
you stand in the hot sum-"
She left him there. He watched
her take the car for home, and then
he returned the fsh-pole, and crossed
the street and said to an acquaintance:
''Tom, Pm suffering with neuralgia,
and the excursion is off till next week.
Too bad, but we can never tell what
a day will bring forth"
There were chicken, and pickles
and other good things on the table at
dinner, but he never smiled. Even
when his wife wished she was an Or
phan if that was the way they were
fed, he never betrayed the gloom in
his heart. It was only when she
handed him the bottle he had so care
fully tucked into the basket and saw
it labeled ,"Good for little Children

"Mary, it is an awful thing for a
wife to get the impression that her
husband is ldblooded liar!"

took the other chicken leg.

OUR FARMERS.
DEHORNING.

The practice of dehorning has be-
come quite common with cattle in
tended for feeding, and while it would
not be true to say that all the effects
of the operation have been studied so
that they are fully understood, no in
furious results have as yet been found
to follow it. A correspondent, how
ever, says the Homestead, raises the
following question and asks our opin-
ion regarding it:
Is it really Injurious to Shorthorn
cattle to dehorn them while they are
young? I heard an arguemnt not
long since on the subject of dehorning
in which one man claimed that if de-
horning were kept up on young heifers,
they would not grow as large and
would be harder to keep in flesh. Is
this the fact?
It is not usual to dehorn Shorthorn
cattle, or pure bred cattle of any other
breed of which horns are character
istic. The practice is as rule confined
to these cattle that are intended to go
into the feed lot. The advantage
gained is that the cattle are quieter,
worry each other less, occupy less
room at the trough and in watering,
and ship better and more closely after
fattening. So far as the greater quiet
ness is concerned, the tendency would
be, in our Judgment, to greater thrift
and growth rather than less.
What is here said of the effects of
dehorning is only entirely true of cat
tie that are dehorned by an operation
preparatory to going into the feed lot.
Those that are dehorned as calves by
the use of caustics on the button be-
fore the calves are a month old occupy
less room in the feed lot and in ship
ping, as will those dehorned later, 1t
also prevents accidental injuries5
But it is questioned by many whether
it changes the disposition and makes
the cattle quieter when mature. 1t is
argued that the reason why dehorned
cattle are less aggressive is because
they feel the loss of a weapon on
which they had before habitually re-
lied, and that this makes them behave
themselves, just as taking away a
revolver from man who has been
in the habit of carrying one all his life
would probably make him a rather
more peaceable citizen. This, however,
is only opinion and not demonstrated
fact. 1t receives some support from
the fact that there are a great many
aggressive cattle among the pooled
breeds, because they learn to be ag-
gressive in other ways, in spite of the
fact that they are without horns from
calfhood. We know of no reasons,
however, why the dehorning of heifer
calves, no matter how long kept up,
should prevent them from growing
as large as they otherwise would, or
make it more difficult ito keep them
in flesh.

the defense, stated he would show that
the money had never been claimed by
Lindelie; that it had been left at his
house under protest; that O'Leary had
been notified shortly after he left it that
i az could get it again whenever he wish
ed, etc.
A. E. Edwards was called by the de-
Tense and testified that while in the sta
ton at Larimore, two years ago, he had
overheard parts of a conversation pc
tween Lindelie and O'Leary, and that the
former told OLeary at that time he could
get his 500 back any time he called for
it. He also swore that a week ago last
Monday he was at Mr.. Lindeiie'S resi-
dence when the $500 was returned to
O'Leary by Lindelie. He stated he was
in an adjoining room and heard the for
mer say in substance that he left the
money with Lindelie two years ago un-
der the latters protest.
Mr.. Lindelie then took the stand in his
own behalf He stated that O'Leary had
called at his house several times, and
tried to induce him to take the moIey,
but that he had refused at all times to
accept It; that two years ago last August
O'Leary came to his house and left leo
on the table, but that he (the witness)
refused to accept 1t, and that afterwards
when In Larimore, he told O'Leary he
could have the money at any time. He
admitted writing the letter, but said this
was after O'Learys' place at Larimore
had been closed, and that he wrote it
after having received one from a man in
Larimore stating that O'Leary was boot
logging again. O'Leary had promised
faithfully in September, '9S, at the time
that Lindelie and ]. B. Wineman were
at Larimorc securing evidence in sup
port of the lnjunctions which had closed
O'Learys' place OF business, that he
would quit the business forever, and that
as it was the object, primarily, Of the
league to stop the sale of liquor, he, with
Mr.. Wineman, had agreed not to prose-
cute O'Leary if he would quit He be-
lieved that O'Leary meant to keep his
promise, and when he received the letter
above referred to he simply wrote to
OLeary that he had better leave the
town. as that would be the best way to
settle the matter He stated he had
signed the letter Jack" as O'Leary
had told him to sign that way. He said
he returned the 800 to O'Leary last week
and would have done SO at any time had
the latter called for it.
