Improvement of Farms.


One fact stands very much against
the improvement of farms in the hands
of many owners; this is the expecta-
tion OF so many to leave the farm some
time, and have a home in the village
or town, says contributor to Country
Gentleman. Much more interest would
be taken in the improvement of farm
homes. If every farmer fully expected
to spend his days on the farm. There
is much difference between the i'm
provement that looks only to CONNER
cial value, when selling is the only OBJ
ject, and improvement made for the
comfort and happiness of the owner.
Many things considered as improve
ments in this direction by some have
no commercial value whatever in the
eyes of others. The improvement add
ed to the farm by the owner, who
must make his living from it, will
often differ very much from that of
the owner who has an income from
other sources. When the farmer earns
the improvements as he goes along,
they are usually noticeable for their
utility, and are fully appreciated. But
if built for show, or because money is
plentiful, they too often become bur-
den.

REST OR PLEASURE?
The Unavoidable Difference of Opinion
That Troubles EYerY Houkehald

The Unavoidable Difference of Opinion
That Troubles Every Household.
One of the problems that develops
out Of that trying first year of mar
ried existence is the equal adjustment
of the amusement question. To the
average man, worn out with the work
and worry of the day, tired of the
babel of voices and confusion in which
he has .toiled, and weary of trying to
make himself agreeable to those he
must please for business purposes,
there seems nothing else on earth so
desirable as the quiet and ease Of his
own home. He doesn't want to talk
or be talked to. He doesn't want to
have to force himself to smile or to
think, and least of all does he want
to forsake his slippers The woman,
on the other hand, has been shut up all
day in the house, going through the
deadly dull round of domestic duties
without the distraction Of seeing
fresh face. She has toiled in her own
way as hard as her husband, and when
night comes she, too, feels the need OF
a change to rest and refresh herself.
She would like to put on her best
dress and go to the theater, or even
call on the people next door. To even
suggest such a thing to her husband,
however, is to bring on a glowing dia-
tribe on Woman's gadding, and the
matter ends there or bursts forth into
q Wordy Quarrel.

beauty as the woman who lay on the
bed before him. And he was just about
to depart as peacefully as a social
caller, when suddenly he heard the
slamming of the front door in the hall
below.

getting that he was probably a young
man; "and I'm caught Caught-bur-
glary-ten years at least. I'll kill him.
But I'll be caught whether I kill him
or not, and" (self-upbraidingly II
could have got away easily enough if
hadn't stopped to look at her."
Again he stepped quickly to the door
and listened. He heard footsteps in
the hall beneath. The man had stepped
into the back parlor, or library, which
ever it was. Perhaps the man had been
out On business and would stop there
for minute or two at his DESK Per
haps there was, after all, chance for
escape. He was cool and careful. He
dropped the jewels on, the bed. It would
not do to be caught with them about
him. And he went out. ',4e =.

"Thzt wouldn't be very fair said
Donaghue. I came back here because
I wanted to clear things up between

away easily enough. If were you, I'd
send for doctor, and even though I'm
a thief, I'd ask my wife's pardon. You

woman. He put his ear to her heart,
and when he raised his head again
DonagHue saw that there were tears in
his eyes,

Donaghue brought the water in SOL

with vain wish that he had got away
with it and the jewels above.
"She We'll be all right in moment"
said the man; "and you may CO.,

lantly, going toward the window.

AGES AND MARRIAGE.

Can There Be Happiness When the

but whether the humdr1 "a courtship
of everyday life ends more happily in
such an arrangement of years is a
question. One lady, whose intellectual
acumen is unassailable, declared
strongly in favor of such alliances
quoting many instances in her own
acquaintance where the wife was Older
than the husband, and where such a
union resulted in the greatest mutual
happiness. II believe she said, ''that

A difference of five or six years is

when twenty or more years loom be-

no reason why the marriage should

years younger than the husband,
This was one argument. The other
side of the question was taken by a
young married woman, who is but five
years the junior of her husband.
"Such marriages mean misery gener-

A woman grows older so much faster
than man that though, at the time
of the wedding they may not look mis-
mated, or feel so, either, but a few
short years must elapse before the
husband finds that his tastes and in
clinations are absolutely youthful in
comparison with his wife's, and that
she is an old woman while yet he is a
young man. A woman of SO and
man of 80 do not seem so unequally
matched, but let ten years more be
added and the man of 40 is only boy
in comparison to the woman of so.
Not that the disparity of actual years
is any greater, but he is only in his
prime, while she has passed that bor-

morning, and when he does come home
he'll probably be drunk. That's what

He turned the knob of the door and
opened it the fraction of an inch. His
small eyes glistened in the dark as he
found that the door was not locked and
that in all probability it would not
squeak. i

Donaghue knelt at the door and put
a practiced ear to the keyhole. There
was faint sound of breathing, 80 still
that Donaghue pressed his rough ear
still closer to the brassy aperture in
the door and listened even more intent

stories above, and the occupants Of this

three preceding days and nights. He
knew that it was occupied by a young
man and his wife-evidently newly
married and beyond doubt rich. He
knew that the servants were cook,
two maids, and a butler, and he had
almost worked out in his mind just
where the pretty wife placed her jew
elry when she went to bed in the Sec
ond-foor room, and just what means
the husband took to secure his proba-
bly, well-t1lled purse.
Donaghue was patience personified,

patience deserves. His thin face broad

Some Separator Experience.

Some Separator Experience.
From Farmers Review: We bought
"a De Laval separator last spring and
the instructions that came stated that
the cream guage had been properly ad-
-5usted and not to change it unless we
found it necessary. We put the milk
in the cans, started the machine, and
when at proper speed turned the milk
into the bowl. The milk soon came
from the milk spout, but where was
the cream? At last it began dropping
in thick chunks (such as you some
times draw from fresh cows) from the
cream spout. I stopped the machine
and turned the cream screw back
wards few times, and started again.
] have not turned that screw from that
day until this. The first five gallons
OF cream that we separated we
weighed and churned. It weighed "A
pounds. I churned it 20 minutes and
the butter came in nice large granules.
Then I put in bucket of cold water
and let it stand a few minutes, then
drew the milk off. After that washed
the milk out thoroughly, took the but
ter out and weighed it, and we had %
pounds of butter; put it back in the
churn, salted it, and the next day
worked it, and sold it, and still there
were % pounds of butter. Now does
1t pay to have the cream as rich as
that? How many pounds of butter
should it make to the gallon. Our
churn is small and we do not have to
churn so often when it is rich, but it
is not suitable for table use. We made
ice cream for school picnic and put in
one-half separated milk and it was
pronounced very good, only a little too
rich. Will not some one that has had
years of experience tell US if we are
making mistake in having our cream
SO thick.

wrapped her, into one seml-go1den hue.
The fundulation caused by her breath

2% Great heavens" thought Donaghue,
what beauty" He could hear her
family mutter the name ''Paul-Paul'
at intervals, and he had a vague con-
ssciousness of a certain disrespect for
Paul, whoever he might be. A man
must be brute to leave such wom-
an alone at night. He fingered but a
moment, though. Beauty was a thing
OF little value to Donaghue. His own
Maggie was hardly cursed with the
fatal gift of beauty, and she was quite
as jealous as other wives. He stepped
softly and quickly to the dressing-case
at the other end Of the room. He
picked up a perfumed lace handker-
fchief and threw it away impatiently,
although in his more youthful days
a lace handkerchief he would have
considered a prize of no mean value.
Below it he found what he wanted
sand expected-a locket and chain, a
zjeweled watch, heavy bracelet, a
pin, and what seemed to him handful
of rings. He held them all up in the
moonlight and noticed how they
sparkled in his trembling hand, and he
smiled with delight.
There's nothing the matter with
this" said Donaghue, almost aloud.
