AS n general rule, the permanent
pasture is neglected on most of orr
Western farms and even on most
American farms. This is the case
even in our best dairy sections, where
OF all places we might expect to see
the permanent pasture duly appre-
clated and properly cared for. Even
where an attempt is made to cultivate
and manure and seed them, the effort
too often stops with sowing some
timothy and clover seed, or of turning
the whole over to blue grass. Timothy
is not the thing for q pasture unless
II IS to be used for horses, and clover
disappears in two or three years. The
blue grass is not good for the whole
season, and sometimes fails entirely
IN dry, hot summers.
Ono great mistake in seeding for
permanent pasture is putting in too
few varieties. The mistake becomes
more serious when two or three varie-
ties OF grass are sown, nll of which
mature at about the same time. These
begin to grow together and for n time
the animals revcl in n fine pasture.
But soon the grasses have reacbeI
their best and all begin to decline at
once. The pasture then has no grass
coming ON to take their place. and the
farmer must go TO feeding or his cattle
will suffer- Grasses should be select.

DrapinE window Curtains.

In hanging the colored silk or cot
ton curtains, n better result is got
with small plaits than with the old
fashioned box plaits. cluster of
five small side plaits is sewed to-
gether, where the plat is formed, so
that they stand out the depth OF the
plaits. Along the sides the fringe is
then sewed close to the edge or across
the bottom. The edge of the fringe
should fall just above the edge of the
curtain. The loops to hold back the
curtains are usually of the cable cord,
about half AZ inch in diamater When
it is preferred nos to use rings with
white sash curtains they may be mace
with three-fourths of an inch heading,
below which is shirring to slip the
brass through. To hang the curtains
across in French style they must first

A MEXICAN BEAN CLOCK.
Exceptionally Clever Fraud Perpetrated
by IN Ingenious Jeweler.


few years ago public curiosity
was excited by the curious beans
called the devil beans of Mexico"
which shopkeepers placed in their
windows. They somewhat resembled
roasted coffee beans in shape and
color. They were also known as the
Jumping beans" owing to the fact
that from time 10 time they made
spasmodic movements which propelled
them quite a little distance. The
beans grew on a small bush In the
Mexican mountains. and it is con-
!ectured that they belonged to the or
der euphorbiaceae. The bean really
consisted OF three similar pods which
formed single bean. 1t is usually
third Of the bean which was exhibited
as a curiosity. On opening the pod it
was found that it contained a small
larya, something like that frequently
found in chestnuts. II is this little
occupant which gives motion to the
bean by its jerks and thumps against
the side Of It's home. If the bean is
slightly warmed it begins to turn
from side TO side, and perhaps with a
sudden thump turns completely over
and stands on one end, and then by
successive jumps moves quite a dis
lance. Those who are not in the Sc
cret are often greatly puzzled by this
strange bean. An enterprising Jew
eier devised a scheme OF utilizing
them 10 make magic clock. He &C
complished this by initiating the shape

dial was located over tho works OF a
large clock, which was placed face
upward on the floor OF the store win
dow. He fastened small magnets TO
the ends OF the hands. The works
were OF course carefully hidden from
view. All that was in evidence was
the cardboard clock dial and the
jumping beans, among which were the
gold and silver painted iron beans.
These were placed on the cardboard
over the concealed hands with the
magnets attached. The magnets were
moved by the hands of the clock 50
that they were almost in contact with
the cardboard. AS they moved around
they carried the iron beans with them
thus telling the time OF day. and the
public was greatly interested by the
intelligence shown by the two beans,
which distinguished them from their

The Cont I'm hcrIcnlin.o-


The owner OF badly brier- infested
or bush covered farm has before him
an expensive and disagreeable task, if
he intends to clear it by manual labor.
Many millions of dollars have been
expended i'll this country in that kind
OF work, and many millions more will
be spent i'll the same direction. But
the Angora goat will do the work for
nothing and pay for the privilege. 1t
prefers briers and bushes to the best
clover or grass that was ever grown.
An Iowa land owner has cleared GOO
acres OF briers and bushes through
this agency. He estimates that the
goat has increased the value of this
land ct least $40 an acre, and while
the animal has been making the owner
money IN that direction, it has been
contributing to his bank account with
its hair, skin and flesh. Nor has it
been troubled during the time by the
great enemy of the sheep, the dog.
1t may be turned into field that IS
covered with briers, and it will leave
1t clear and will convert a vast deal of
the nuisance into value. After il once
gets n start III life, the goat will come

The view from one of the windows

by the ingenious fingers of its owner
in the following clever fashion: She

panes of the window with pressed

separately, the tissue paper giving
the same luminous effect as the
pressed leaves. The stems and ten
drills she painted in oils, cumming
the leaves and grapes in place with a
little mucilage and adding a few but.

conclusion that in fthe best of farm

to 81 pounds dry matter in the food.
With cornmeal, gluten meal, and

tionally high, and with the pork sell
ing at five cents pound live weight,
and with skim milk at fifteen cents

on the average 4. 10 cents, and has re
turned gain of nineteen per cent
over cost of feed. If from the selling
price we subtract the amount paid out
for grain and consider the balance as
what we have received for the skim
milk, we find the amounts varying IN
the different experiments from twenty
four to twenty-seyen cents, an average
of twenty-five cents per hundred
pounds. In addition to this we find
that there has been returned in the
fertilizing value of the food Just about
two-thirds of the cost of the food. so
that if we consider the fertilizing
value as offsetting the labor, there has
been returned large value for this
labor.
