A Blunt Excuse.

There is story of an English clergy
man who had taken temporary duty
for friend and who had the i'll luck
to injure his false teeth during the
week. The plate was sent to the den
fist for repairs, a faithful assurance
being given that it should be returned
by Sundays post, but the dentist or
the post proved faithless.
With the assistance of the clerk the
clergyman managed to stumble through
the prayers, but felt it would be use
less to attempt to preach. He there
fore instructed the clerk to make some
excuse for him and dismiss the con-
gregation. But his feelings may be
better imagined than described when,
In the seclusion of the vestry, he over
heard the clerk in impressive tones
thus deliver the excuse:
"Parson is very sorry, but it is his
misfortune to be obliged to wear set
of artful teeth. They busted last
Wednesday, and he amt got them back
from London today, as he was promis-
ed. I've helped him all could through
the service, but l can't do more for
him. 'Tisn't any use for him going up
in the pulpit, for you wouldn't under
stand word he said, so he thinks you
all may as we'll go home"

Spanish Nicknames.

One Of the peculiar ways in which
Spanish differs from English is in the
names the language gives to all peo-
pie with certain infirmity or peculiar
ity. A blind man is referred to as ell
ciego; man with but one eye is a
tuerto; a pug nosed man is chato; one
who is cross eyed is bisojo; COLO is
a lame man, and a nance has but one
arm; if he is humpbacked he is a joro-
bado if baldheaded a calvo, and if
his hair is very short he is pelon.
The feminine titles for the same
classes are the same, with the excep-
ton that they end in "a' where the
masculine terminate with co." These
short names are used most commonly.
In fact, they are applied as nicknames
in many cases, and especially among
the lower classes persons are address,
ed or referred to only by these names.

DON'T ray IT.

We never knew a man who was a
patron of a creamery or cheese factory
to make a real success of watering or
skimming his milk. 1t looks as though
1t might be very easy thing to beat
the creamery man, but all known
methods of so doing are so weA under
stood that fraudulent practices are
soon detected. No amount of money
which man is likely to make, even
If he is successful for a time, is any
sort Of compensation for the awful
cheap and meachy feeling that comes
over him when he is found out. Don't
try it. It doesn't pay. The dirt Of
such trick will stick to you as long
as you ike.

Care of Patent Leathers.

Patent leather shoes may, it is said,
be beautifully cleaned and also pre-
served from cracking by the use Of
French harness polish which may be
bought at any harness makers. Most
shoe dealers will admit that there is a
great deal of luck in buying these
shoes, and that their durability de-
ponds largely on the care with which
they are treated. Cold or dryness
cracks them. 1t seems pity that this
leather should have achieved the vogue
that 1t has in the dress wardrobe of
both men and women, for its effect
upon the feet is both harmful and I'M
comfortable. With it should always be
worn thin and fine hosiery, and never
should shoes be made from it to be
put on for any sustained walking serv-

Fifteen pretty good dairy cows put in
all the hot day after a. m. punched
on a shadeless knoll fighting flies,
switching, rubbing and stamping until
nearly 6 O'clock in the evening
You've seen them. Well, doesn't it oc-
cur to you that those cows would have
been better off in a darkened barn dur
ing that time with plenty of good
sweet corn to eat? Had they been so
treated would you have had to stand a
25 per cent August shrinkage in their
milk yield? We think not.

A western railway company 20 years
ago planted larch trees along the unoc-
cupied portion Of its right of way with
the idea that such trees would serve to
prevent the snow from filling the cuts
ana also perhaps with the thought
that some day the trees might be util-
tzed as timber for ties. We saw these
trees a few days ago. They were not
a success in either Of the lines indicat-
ed, The soil was sterile, and the trees
had evidently been dwarfed for want
Of sufficient moisture. Being serubby,
they would never make material for

If at evening time there waits for
you as you finish the days toll home
where peace and comfort dwell, if
from its portals greet you loving words
of welcome from wife and little chill
dren, il is little matter that you are
denied high place, wealth and fame,
for yours it is to enjoy all that makes
life really worth the living, and this
applies to men whether they live on
the farm or in the town.

We notice one man Dragging through
the papers that his sugar beets are
growing finely and that some of them
weigh as much as three pounds each
already. He is OVERRIDING the business,
for the good sugar beet should not
weigh much over one pound. This
mans beets are too thinly planted or
his ground is too heavily fortified
Three pound beets are not wanted by
the factories, being too low in sac
charine matter.

Much of the vim and push of north
ern men may be attributed to the fact
that If they do not hustle in the sum-

to death in the winter. In fact, most
men need the terrors of wrath to

work

A cautious old Kansas granger said
he was thankful to the Lord for the

country until he saw how the corn crop

The man who makes his fortune in
the city amid it's rush and strain seeks
the quiet and repose of a country home
in his later years; while the old farmer
who has made his little pile on the
farm seeks home in the town in

The mutual insurance companies of a
western state about evenly divide the
business with the old line companies,
each doing a business, or rather, writ

600 annually. To do this costs the mu-
tuals $116,625 and the old line COM
panies $91S,391. These are very sug-
gestive figures.

If you expect your wife to get bet
ter dinner for Sunday than she does
for other days, you should help her in
the preparation of it on Saturday so
that Sunday is not made the hardest
day of all the week for her. And
right here we will just remark that
while it is very pleasant to have your
friends call and see you on Sunday
afternoon, and all right, they should
have sense and courtesy enough to get
their own dinners before they come.

A wise old agriculturist put on record
the truth that field is not sown to
advantage with the grain which itself
yielded. True as this is, but few men
heed it, A constant change of seed
is always an advantage to the sower.
Nature is great mixer and diversifier.

Every acre of good corn land in the
west which will produce 90 bushels
of corn will grow - tons of sugar
beets. These beets will make not less
than $500 pounds of granulated sugar,
worth at the rate Of 10 pounds for 81
the sum of $195. Fifty bushels of corn
at so cents a bushel is only SIS. The
corn is all right but beets are better.

But little is done by the average
farmer in the way of feeding off any
crop where grownSxcept grass. More
might be done to advantage in this line.
1t saves the labor and expense of har-
vesting such crop and it secures a most
perfect fertilization of the field so
treated. In practical way this can be
adopted by sowing rape in the cornfield
and turning in a flock of lambs and
wethers intended for early winter mar
keting; it can be done with advantage
on field planted to sweet corn and
pumpkins for the hogs. Improved
types of portable fence have made this
method of feeding cropSvery easy
and satisfactory.

1t is not of much use to try the cul-

which differ much from those in which
the walnut grows naturally. 1t will
always be found that this tree grows
on the richest of alluvial soils-river
bottoms and depressions which for
ages have been enriched by oyertiows
and washings. Planted ON hard and
dry knobs or on thin soils it is always
