Deserted and Refrar>d.

Not long ago a very fat spaniel WIS
introduced into the house where a fox
terrier bad always been the master.
The latter was told. however, TO behave
well to the newcomer, and not to bully
him. So the two seemed fairly friendly,
and in the end got in the habit of tax
ing short rambles together.
However, the fcx terrier was evident
~ of a thoughtful disposition, and on
one occasion came across a bank or
wall which was easy enough to leap
off. but there was greater difficulty in
returning. The fox terrier sprang down
the bank and enticed his heavy compan-
ion to follow, with the result that the
latter could not get back, while the for
aner. by reason of his greater activity,
was easily able to do so.
Now the terrier saw his opportunity,
returned home and cruelty left his COM
panion lamenting Never did the for
mer seem happy or gayer than on that
day when he had once more the sole run
of the house, and he sulked when later
on the spaniel had been found, assisted
up the wall and brought home.
Since then the fox terrier has repeat
edly got the spaniel down the same
place, with the usual result, and seems
to glory in his mischieyous act.

One of those romantic discoveries OF
literary treasure trove which one often
hears of but somehow has never the
good luck to experience has recently
befallen a Leeds man, Harold Z.
Dom. Some five years ago Mr.. Dorm
was at an auction sale in Briggate,
Leeds, when he picked up a battered
old volume ON Hebrew customs for
half a crown. He has recently become
aware that the book is of considera-
bic value, and, on submitting it to a
Leeds gentleman whose opinion on
such matters is of some weight, he was
informed that the value of his pur-
chase might be estimated at between
$500 and $500.
The book does not look worth the
money. 1t can boast only one cover,
and the first few pages have disap-
peared, says the Jewish World. 1t is
really three books bound into one vol

MES, which constituted the valuable
portion. This is entitled Moses and
Aaron. Civil and Ecclesiastical Rites
Used by the Ancient Hebrews; Observ-
ed at Much Pain for the Clearing of
Many Obscure Texts Throughout the
Holy Scripture" There is some more
title, but this is sufficient for a sample.

B. d., whose preface is dated 1924,
while the date of issue of this edition,
the eleventh. is 1918. 1t constitutes a

We used to hear much of land getting
clover sick, or so that while rich
enough for corn or most of the usual
farm crops, it seemed not to be suit
able for clover. Either the seed would
fail to catch or the plants would die
out before they had attained size
enough to show them above the other
grasses. Perhaps on poor field near
by there would be a good crop of clover
growing, sown with seed from the
same bag and under the same condi-
tons of season. When we first noticed
this we saw that the farmers who had
used wood ashes on their fields had no
trouble in growing clover, and that in
pastures where bushes had been cut
and burned there were often punches
of clover, most frequently of white
clover, that came in and remained until
they were killed out by being fed too
closely. This led us to believe the clover
would be benefited by the use of wood
ashes or any form of potash. Then we
noticed. that farmers who used a COM
mercial fertilizer in addition to their
manure had no trouble in growing
clover. Later studies showed us that
lime formed a considerable part of both
ashes and the superphosphates, and
thus we do not hesitate to advise any
oneNto apply lime where they wish to
grow clover, and to use acid phosphate
and muriate of potash when they sow
the seed. or as topdressing afterward.
We think these are a sure remedy for
elover-sick soil.-Exchange.

Albert Lea, Mimi, Nov. 10, 1900-
(Special.)-There are few men and
! women in this State, or indeed in the
whole Northwest, who have not heard,
or do not know personally, Mrs. Hen
riette G.. Olberg of this city.
Mrs Olberg was Judge of Linen and
Linen Fabrics at the Worlds Fair. at
Chicago, and Superintendent of Flax
Exhibit at the International Exposi-
ton at Omaha, Neb., in 1898. Mrs. Ol-
berg is Secretary of the National Flax,
Hemp and Ramie Association, and AS
sistant Editor of the "Distaff."
Her official duties are naturally very
onerous. and involve a great deal of
travelling and living away from home.
She says:

Hog Cholera and Corn.

Hog cholera or swine plague is con-
fined almost entirely to the corn-pro-
ducing States, writes G. S. Moore, of
Oklahoma. Here where the seasons are
such that corn cannot be depended
upon entirely for feeding hogs large
number are marketed that are not fed
corn except to finish off on. Alfalfa
pastures viii keep pigs growing and In
good condition, so that very little
corn viii finish them. If alfalfa is not
to be had, wheat for winter pasture and
sorghum for summer. supplemented
with kaffir or corn, will give as good
results. The pork thus produced is per
fectly healthy. After a residence here
of eleven years l have yet to hear of
the first case of hog cholera. Coming
from part of Missouri where corn and
hogs were the principal products, the
swine plague often destroyed an entire
herd. l am led 20 think that the differ
ence is caused by the different method
Of feeding. am persuaded that If
Northern farmers would 7un their hogs
on clover pastures, odd roots to their
bill of fare and feed less corr. hog
cholera would soon be a thing of TIE
past. Hogs thus raised make better

duce and are more profitable

NC Skin,n1ilk

Skimmilk is food which contains
muscle and flesh forming material IN a
form to be readily taken up and digest
ed by the system. Milk that has been
skinned has really lost but small
amount of its value as a food, the cream
consisting considerably of fat, which
in itself is the least nutritious part of
the milk, except TO create warmth. The
cheesy matter left in the milk is its
most valuable part for food and tends
TO produce vigorous, healthful growth
when fed to calves, pigs and chickens.
If chickens were fed less corn and more
skimmilk, 1t would not only be to their
lasting benefit. but 1t would also even
tually result in financial benefit to the
farmer-Poultry Keeper.

About the CrueYs.

Breakfast cruets and some luncheon
cruets contain a salt cellar; but,
whether belonging to the cruet or not,
a salt cellar should never be put on a
table without having the surface of the
salt smoothed. 1t is best to buy fine
table salt, as it is less likely to cake
than is the salt which is used for house
hold purposes. A little corn -four mixed
with the salt will prevent it caking. 1t
is important to remember that salt is
a real food and is not a continent, as
are vinegar, pepper and mustard. Part
of the salt helps to form the hydro
chloric acid which is found in the di-
gestive juices of the stomach, and the
other part helps to form the blood. 1t is
found in every part of the body, and
without its use the body cannot be kept
in health.

Death ia House Burs,


A family moving Into an old house
a year or SO ago was unpleasantly sur
prised to find that the former occupants
had been lacking in housewifely quail
ties, and after sleeping in the house a
night or so it was discovered that there
was more insect life than was agree
able. To follow old-fashioned methods
was too slow, and instead three sulphur
candles were purchased. the house
was shut up after the candles had been
lighted, and left to itself for three
hours. AT the end of that time every
thing living inside had been killed, and
there was no trouble afterwards. The
family moved to another floor in the
same house, repeated the same opera
ton, with the same success, and. re-
moving again to their original floor, for
a third time repeated the operation. 1t
worked without fail, but rnetal of any
kind in the room had to be taken out,
or it would have turned black.-The
