The Farmers Bill Of Fare.

We stepped into the home Of pretty
we'll to do farmer not long since just as
the family was sitting down to the even
ing meal. 1t was not company supper
but just common, everyday meal which
the family had on the table. There
were pitcher of good milk and small
er one of cream, dish of hominy, cold
boiled beef, fried potatoes, fried eggs,
cannedplums, sweet pickles. ginger bread
and some currant cake 1t was a regu-
lar church socisble layout. and there
were robust appetites to enjoy all this
good food There we're napkins by each
plate, and the hired men had to wait un.
Til the old man had returned thanks,
Outside the the house we're hundreds oil
chickens, young and old: fat pigs in the
pen well fed cows in the byre, granaries
and cribs full with the abundant crops OF
the year, and yet the old man, while he
formally thanked the Lord for his excel
lent grub. whined to us that the times
were out of Joint and that the govern
III mt was b ing run to make the rich
man richer and TIE poor man poorer
What ought to be done with such an I'M
grateful old rooster?

Three Drinks Of Whisky a Day.

We have seen three drinks Of whisky
day get in their work on as good a
quarter section farm AS there WIS in the
west. 1t took about ID years for them
to finish the farm and its owner up. 1t
worked like this: First it made him
hard to get along with, and decent men
would not work for him; then he got to
running to town, PLAYING pool and poker
and coming home drunk at night; his
crops and stock were neglected, and
then he ran behind aud put mortgage
on the farm; more drinking aud poker
playing. poorer crops, fall from his
wagon one night as he came home drunk,
big doctors bill, second mortgage,
defaulted interest, wife died broken
hearted, daughter ran off with a pedler,
son sent to reform school as an incorri-
gible, chattle mortgage sale OF his live
stock, foreclosure on his farm delirium
tremens, six months a county charge
and then paupers burial. Farm gone,
home gone. family gone, man gone to
the devil, and three drinks OF whisky q
day for starter did it.

The Hog in the Dooryard.

We know of man who ownes 80
acres OF land free from membranes,
pretty good house and barns, surrey to
ride to town in, director in a national
bank, whose hogs have the free run OF
his dooryard and upset the swill pals at
the back kitchen door. The hog is all
right in his proper place, bat all wrong
as dooryard rooter. At best he is but
dirty scavenger, and while Pat years
ago might have been almost compelled
to share his Irish hut with the pig in
order to pay the "rint", it is nothing less
than barbarism and savag-ry for the
well to do American farmer to give his
hogs the run of the home lot. The
Poland China is not a sweet scented
brute under any conditions, and his lair
should he as far away from the dooryard
and the home as possible. Don't you
make any pretense to be even half
civilized il you let your hcgs run at
large.

About the Hotbed.

When you read this, it will be time TO
make the hotbed il you want one. You
can raise nice lot of early radish,
lettuce, tomato and cabbage plants with
very lit e trouble. Find some sheltered
corner of the premises exposed to the
south and protected from the north and
west by fence or building. Make a
board box the size you want the bed.
Fill it with fresh horse manure. Pack
it down firmly. Throw two or three
pals Of water on it. Cover it with six
inc hes of good soil Lay your sash on
with slant enough toward the south to
shed the water. As soon as the bed
begins to get warm pack the earth down
firmly and then SOW your seed. Water
freely. Raise the sash on warm days
and look out for cold snaps by covering
the sash with some hay or an old carpet.
What you may raise in such bed will
well repay yoa for your trouble.

Twenty-six pounds of sugar for 81.

For one we are in favor of extending
all possible encouragement to the de-
ve.opment OF the sugar industry. Where
is the sense of our yeetening up on
glucose when God $ sunshine teens with
better sweets! A trust regulates the
price Of sugar now, but we can, il we
will, produce enough so that no trust on
earth can interfere with the natural law
OF supply and demand. This trust is
now going through cast iron swea.

Time was when sugar was poor man 5
luxury when the good mother showed
the respect in which she held the pre-.
siding elder by the number OF teaspoon
fuls Of sugar she would put in his tea.
That time has passed, and sugar has
become poor mans necessity. The
beet sugar factories can pay ~ per ton
for sugar beats and still make big
thing in selling their product 50 that the
consumer can get 70 pounds of sugar for
81. Let all consumers of sugar unite in
extending hearty support to any move
ment looking to an increase in the sugar
supply. We are after ii pounds OF
sugar for dollar, and we are going to
have it before We get through. Mind
that!

Good Reading Makes Good Boys.

We wish we could impress the many
fathers and mothers on the farms who
will read these notes with the impor-
lance Of providing plenty of good, clean,
healthful, instructive reading matter for
their boys and girls. There are SO many
bad books and papers, so many which,
il not bad, are worthless, giving false
ideas of life and living cheap, shoddy
literary trash and fiction-that this sort
should be watched and be kept out of
the farm home. Good literature is so
very abundant and cheap literature
which will help the boys anu girls to
grow up into not only bright but good
men and women--that it becomes duty
of the very FIST Importance for country
fathers and mothers to see that the bad
hooks and papers are kept out OF the
home and the good hooks and papers
supplied. II we want TO make bad
boy in the easiest possible way, we
would furnish him bad books TO read.

1t is little singular that South Caro-

south to wake up to a realizing sense OF
the possibilities connected with the

cotton produced in that state is now
manufactured by the mills Of the state,
and last year large amount OF cotton
was imported to keep the mills running.

tax the farm and the security given for
