HER KNOWLEDGE OF CHINESE.


f A young woman at watering place this
summer made a reputation as q profound
linguist in a rather odd manner. She
called one dny at Chinese laundry, where
she had left q shirt waist, but it could
not be found, as there was no entry in
the book of hieroglyphics corresponding to
her pink slip. After half hours search
the Chinaman found the entry. A mistake
had been made, the entry crossed out and
4 new set Of hieroglyphics in tiny charac-
tiers placed below. She was told that that
waist would be Numbered Immediately, and
she could have it the next day, says the
Kansas City World.
The next day the young woman called
for it, accompanied BY three other young
women. At the seashore the excitement Of
q visit to the Chinese laundry. is not to be
despised. The Chinaman to whom the pink
slip was presented was not the laundryman
Of the day before, and he experienced the
same difficulty in finding the identifying
characters, finally saying: Not in book
The girl answered, calmly: II can find it,
and the Chinaman allowed her to take the
book. Turning the leaves until she came
to the one that had had an entry crossed
out, with another in tiny characters under
It. She handed it to the Chinaman. There
it it," and, to his surprise, he found it:
"You only lady know spik Chinese, he
said. And the other girls looked upon her
with admiration.

POULTRY YARD MANURE.
Il II Of Ineatimnblc Value to Any
Farmer Who viii save and
Utilise 1t Nationally.

One of the best and most available
manures is that which onr poultry
supplies. First of all, it costs no
ready money and is an article of value
TO any farmer who will utilize it.
How to save mix and use this manure
has been a study with scores of farm
ers during the past few years. In
nearly every farmers yard are to be
seen from 100 to 200 fowls, and often
they have no proper shelter. and the
droppings are lost. Often no thought
is given to gathering the manure for
fertilizing purposes, and in the spring
the owner will pay from $50 10 SIS
per ton for guano. while the poultry
manure that goes to waste on his
own farm is almost equally rich in
plant food and even better than some
brands of so-called pure" guano.
Poultry manure has the most value
when kept in the dry; its value is
largely dependent upon the kind Of
food which the fowls deposit. AS
a rule the poultry is given richer food
than any other farm stock. Wheat,

together in the hennery as much as
possible. The floor is kept dry. be-
ing covered weekly with ashes OBJ

Is cents per bushel. Regular every
week it is removed and stored in a
dry place. shoveled over and enough
absorbent added to keep from heat

cumulates. If we wish to drill the
manure it is sifted: otherwise il il. up

farmers who keep poultry and let the
manure go to waste would try this

Sugar Little u..d in France.

One reason why the French people
consume SO little sugar is because
their ways of living require less of
that article. For the great mass of
the French people breakfast consists
of bowl of soup. which is also fer
quently part of the other two meals.
Their drink is wine, and, as they use
but little tea or coffee, especially in
the country. there is scarcely any de-
mand for sugar. They make neither
preserves nor cake in the family. The
usual dessert is fruit and cheese. The
high tax of five cents per pound on
sugar is pretty fully paid by the we'll
TODD people. who live in cities and
who take coffee or chocolate for break
fast and small cup of black COFFEE
after dinner.-Chicago Chronicle.

HOT AIR DRUM FOR FIREPLACE.
fireplace recently designed by John

capable of heating the upper rooms to
a comfortable temperature. 1t con-
sists of metallic casing, which is in
serted in place of the brick partition
usually placed between fireplaces set
opposite each other in adjoining rooms.
The lower portion Of the drum is mar
row, and any pattern of CRATE can be at
tached to it, while the upper portion
flares out over the CRATE leaving, how
ever, sufficient room for the passage Of
smoke through the chimney. Inside
the drum a series of plates are so ar
ranged that the air is caused to circu-
late back and forth in a circuitous
route before entering the pipe at the
top of the drum. The fresh air, is con-
Quoted into the bottom of the drum
through tube laid under the floor
and extending to one of the basement
windows. As the air is heated it rises
through the pipe to the chambers, caus-
ing the fresh air to enter and providing
not only sufficient heat for the upper,
but also perfect ventilation of air free
from all smoke of the fireplace.-Chi-

How 70 Meet Competitio,.

Farming is business, and every farm.
er is in competition not only with his
neighbor but with farmers in all coun.
tries. When there is surplus of any
crop the price falls, and each buyer
then selects the best and rejects the
inferior. The farmer must grow larger
and better crops in order to meet com
petition in this line. To do so he must
use the latest, improved Implements,
and be willing to invest in chemical fer
filters, 80 n to reduce the cost of pro-
duction. The man with the best tools
and implements viii always go ahead
Of him who depend solely on hand =.

GRAIN BIN INSECTS.
EAs Remedy That Has Now Been Most
Generally Accepted II Bisul.
phido Of Carbon.

Reports are current that grain weev-
rs and grain moths are doing large
amount of damage in wheat and other
grains stored in bins, and farmers here
and there are asking for a remedy. AT
various times we have published meth
DDS for combating these pests; but we
refer to the matter again at this time,
| as there are many new readers that
have not had the benefit of previous
articles. The remedy that has been
generally accepted of late years as the
one most effective is the use of bi-sul-
phide Of carbon. We wish to caution
our readers at the start as to the care
necessary in handling this liquid. The
liquid is very volatile; that is, it
passes very rapidly into the form of gas
when it is exposed to the air, and
this gas is very inflammable. 1t will
thus be seen that it will never do
to attempt to use it at night when
lighted lamps or lanterns would have
to be in the vicinity of the operators.
The gas is much heavier than air and
thus will not at first mingle with it.
This is one feature that it makes it valu-
able, for when the liquid is placed in
the bottom of bin through the me-
dunn OF gas pipe or other long tube
II changes into gas and the gas re-
mains in the bin for a considerable
time-long enough to kill every insect
in it. 1t is an atmosphere in which
animal life cannot live, but it is not
destructive to the growing power of
the grain, and in fact affects it in no
way.
For 100 bushels of the grain about
two pounds Of the liquid are necessary,
though some think that one pound is
sufficient in most cases. 1t costs in the
neighborhood of ten cents per pound.
and we think can be had at almost any
drug store. If the farmer does not
know how many bushels of grain
he has, he can measure his bins and
find the cubic contents of the bins as
they are filled with grain. Then use
about two pounds of bi-sulphide for
every 1000 cubic feet. The amount
of liquid TO be used will depend on the
tightness Of the bins. We have given
the maximum amount for bin that is
far from tight. If the bins are per.
fectIy air tight only one pound to the
thousand cubic feet need be used.
Some operators follow the practice
OF placing the liquid in soup plates on
top OF the grain and as it evaporates
the fumes sink into the grain. AS soon
as the plates are set, the persons in
the grain honse or barn should go out
at once and close all the doors.-Farm.
