SHE NEEDS RECREATION.
Every farmers Wife Should Take
at Least Two Hours Each Day
for Thorough Rest.

Too many wives and mothers on the
farm pay very little attention to the
duty they owe themselves in their de-
sire to be useful to their family. They
are usually the first one up in the
morning and the last to retire at
night. The husband has been out in
the field all day and is tired, and he
wife has taken during the day.
Every woman should take at least
two hours every day for rest and
recreation. She may employ the time
sleeping, reading or in any amuse-
ment which will tend to rest both
body and mind.
Some mothers allow their daugh-
ters to idle their time away, saying
they will have enough trouble after
awhile. Or, they would rather do the
work themselves than bother to see
whether the girls do it right. This
is sad mistake. The child grows up
knows nothing of Homework and
when she has home of her own
does not know how to manage it.
therefore the mother spoils the child's
usefulness and happiness.
I believe the wife should do he1
share, but the husband should also
do his share, and so it is the wife's
duty to herself to ask him to help
her when his work is not too urgent
L have seen wives do all the house
cleaning, soap making, garden max
ing, chicken raising, tending of the
milk and churning, washing, ironing
baking, besides getting three meals
every day, making beds, sweeping anc
scrubbing and never think of asking
the husband for little help. This i:
all wrong
Her duty to herself is to take all the
recreation she can after doing he1
duty by her family. If there is {
spare horse she should occasionally
take drive, but this is liable to b.
overdone and she is expected to do al
the errands necessary to be done
then it ceases to be restful.
There is but little danger of tru,
wife and mother taking too much lib
erty in the way of recreation and rest
There is many husband who neve1
realized the worth of his wife unit
he had let her work herself into
premature grave and repents when i
is too late.-Wm. 81. Faclzler, in Prai

NOT VERY EXPENSIVE,
Satisfactory System of Siphon-
ing Water from Wells.

If the ground is sufficiently undulat-
ing, so that the bottom of the well is
three feet higher than the point where
the water is wanted, the supply can
be easily and ckeaply secured by means
of siphon. Use an inch galvanized
iron pipe and hurry it out of reach of
frost. All the fixtures necessary are
pipe bent to go down into the well
and faucet at the discharge end. The
general arrangement is shown in the
engraving. There are little devices
which can be secured at hardware
stores which will make it easy to fill
the pipe should it become empty.
At the house end, if an outdoor faucet
is wanted, what is called a stop and

Women MissIOnaries Marry Chimes,

The following remarks of the Ostasi-

quoting: ut seems to become daily
more the fashion for European and
American ladies to fulfill their mis-
sionary vocation by marrying China
men. Scarce half a year ago a Swedish
lady missionary set the unfortunate
example of marrying Chinese coolie.

society, and, in general, compromis.
ing the respect in which missionaries
are held. There is now case in Can.
ton of a lady belonging to an Amer.
lean mission, Miss Halverson, marry
ing her former cook. There is great
sensation about it in missionary cir.

stand how lady, who goes to China
in order to help Christianize, can, after
so short time, do more harm to it
than long years of labor will make
good."-N. Y. Sun.

Buying New Farm Machinery.

Purchases of new farm implements
that have to be made for use III SOW
ing and harvesting the crops of the
coming season should early have at
tention. A farmer feels much better
satisfied if he knows the difference
in price of the various makes and the
points of advantage in the mechanism
of the different brands on the mar
ket of the new machine which he is
obliged to have. If care is taken to
thus inform himself when there is no
rush, and when the corn-planter,
mower or reaper is purchased the
farmer feels that he has not "gone it
blind" or paid more for his machinery
than he ought. He will then procure
the corn-planter or reaper best suited
to his nced.-Rural World. -5-'

Odd Eject OF Electric Current.

Odd Effect of Electric Currents.
In Brussels street traversed by an
electric tram car line, it has been no.
ticed that the trees on one side of the
way begin to5lose their foliage early in
August, the leaves turning brown and
dropping off. But in October the same
trees begin to bud again, and some.
times even blossom. Meanwhile the
trees on the opposite side Of the street
are unaffected, losing thir foliage late
in the autumn and budding only in
the spring. The cause of the anomaly
is supposed to be leaking electric cur
rents, which stimulate the growth OF
the trees affected.-Youth's Compan.

Keeping Bees on Farms.

Bees may be kept with advantage
on every farm, if only one or two hives
are allowed. Pees assist in fertilizine
the blossoms of some plants and per.
form valuable service. If no bees are
kept in neighborhood it is possible
that failure of fruits may be due ia
that cause, and it is matter that de.
serves consideration by farmers. Bees
give large profit, and though a be.
ginner must learn something of them
to succeed, yet the modes of manage.
ment are not difficult to understand.

BUFFALO BREEDING.
1t IL to De Taken Up a. q Bus. Aess
by q Texas Cattle
Company.

'Most people are of the belief" re-
marked Sheriff Taylor, of Sherman,
Texas, according to the Memphis
Scimitar, that the American bison is
an extinct animal, but that is a great
mistake. It is true that in comparison
with the numbers of the beasts that
used to thunder over the western
plains the numbers now to be found are
Insignificant; but yet there are some
in existence, and there are measures
now under contemplation for the prop
agation of the species, so that in time
they may become reasonably common
again.
II know of only one herd of buffalo
in Texas, that belonging to Mrs. Mary
Goodnight, of the Goodnight Cattle
company, in the Panhandle. Her herd
comes down from the original stock of
the Staked Plains. Several years ago
the herdsmen of the Goodnight pas
lures captured three calves and after
demonstrating them as much as their
natures would permit proceeded to
breed them. This was done as pas
time and without any special purpose
in view until. the. race began to go out
of existence, and then it was decided to
60 into the inbreeding as an industry.
So the herd has grown until now it
numbers about 70, 60 or more being
full-grown and healthy specimens of
the species.
Il have often seen these animals on
the Goodnight range, and they certain
ly bring to mind the old time on the
plains. The Goodnight people have the
means to go into the cultivation of the
buffalo on liberal scale, and in Texas
it is understood to be the purpose of the
managers for Mrs. Goodnight to dis
pose of none of the stock for period
of years, say Is, when the herd will
number something like 5000.
II am told that there are other herds
in the United States. Buffalo Jones,
of Kansas, has large herd. He has
always taken great interest in the
propagation of the animals, and of
late has been working on scheme to
have the United States government to
set aside large pasture for the ex-
elusive range of buffaloes, the breed
ing stock to be contributed by Mrs.
Goodnight, Jones and any others who
may have any of the animals which
they would be willing to part with"
