WIDE-AWAKE FARM BOY.
Evidently This Youngster Is Deter
mined to Make Agriculture a
Profitable Occupation.

This article is for the boys; those
live, up-to-date lads that like the
farm and it's stock. The boy that it
is about lives in Portage county, and
1 know that you will be interested
in hearing about him. Last fall the
writer attended the Chagrin Falls
fair, and on the road from that fair
we passed boy driving pair of
calves hitched to wagon. He was
aitting on the spring seat, whip in
hand, as dignifed as any grown man.
The calves were well broken, and
they responded perfectly to word
and light tap of the whip which
he carried in his hand. We noticed
that he never beat them or yelled at
them, as some grown persons do
when they drive oxen.
We thought: "Now, here is nice
picture" SO it was arranged that
Harry Stebbins (for this is the boy
name) should bring his calves and
wagon over to Mr.. John Gould's the
next day and have their photograph
taken. The next forenoon Harry was
on hand with his outfit, and Mr.
Gould borrowed neighbours children
to help fill the wagon, for that is
the only way John has any children
of his own. The sun was just right
on the south side of the windmiu
derrick and large maple in the yard
Sitting there in the morning sunlight
Harry looked as pleased as "sure-
enough" farmer. Snap went the
camera, and the picture was taken rs
quick as a flash, and you can see all
just as they looked.
You will think it must have taken
Harry lots of time to break these

The Old and the New.

We. cannot help admiring the fine
spirit of conservatism which leads
many men to cling to the faith of their
fathers in many good things. But
there is such a thing as being too con-
sentative. When conservatism means
ignorance, awkward methods, unsatis-
factory returns, it is not a subject of
reverence, but a source of stagnation
and poverty. The true spirit of i'm
provement is not a wild desire for some
thing new; but it is a willingness to
recognize that which is best and to
utilize it whether it conflicts or coin
cides with former ideas. Let us not
revere the old things too much, nor ex-
alt the new things merely because they
are new.-American Cultiyator. s 81

FLY BRUSH FOR CATTLE.
A Simple Arrangement Which Enc
ab1es Stock to Wage War
Against Insect Enemies.

In the summer it is just as necessary
to provide cattle with a place in the
pasture field where they may brush off
the flies as it is to furnish shade, food
OR drink. The device in the illustra.
ton shows good arrangement for
this purpose. 1t consists first of four
posts set in the form of rectangle -
feet long and eight feet wide. At one
end the posts are about sk feet high,
at the other only three feet. Across
each end of the rectangle an eight-inch
board is nailed at the top of the posts.
In the upper edge of these boards are
cut notches about four inches deep and
21s inches wide. Beginning next to the
posts these notches are cut at inter-
walls of IS or 90 inches.
Now take boards four inches wide,
1S feet long and not heavier than one

COUNTRY HOUSE FURNISHINGS.

ferent woods, like ash, walnut and
heavy white pine, which is painted in
dark, rich colors, their gayety lying
in the stuffs with which they are dec
! grated.
Another pronounced style is the
King Arthur chair, an artistic and
decorative hall or piazza furnishing,
| which can be converted into table
at need. It is of walnut, roomy, low
and cushioned. It's back is a great
oval covered inside and out with nut
brown leather. The chair when not
in use serves as stand for the oval,
which, by closing the hinges, forms
table, and is quite large enough for
four at a game of cards or for q
slight repast. There are book
shelves which hang against the wall,
on which are appropriate notices,
and peculiar lounging chairs with
wide, long arms held in place by a
seat of stout crash of striped and
plaid effects.
For draperies the top ruffle is
again to the front. The windows
when treated this way have first
sash curtains of dotted Swiss, which
are Topped back or slightly parted in
the middle. At the top of the wood
work hangs a long cream-colored
dimity with a flower border or COW
cred with wild roses, and over it O
deep frill of the same design as the
drapery. The frill and it's hangings
are on separate brass rods of slender

THE POULTRY YARD.

The old fat hens should be sent
where they will not be liable to SUM-
stroke.
The surplus layers should be started
on the way to market. The chicks will
soon need more room.
Dwarf Essex rape will furnish green
food for young and old birds. Sow
now or any time up to September.
A heavy dressing of lime on poultry
runs will purify them and insure the
f1ocks against diseases that breed in
filth.
Dry sifted coal ashes on the floors
of coops and frequent cleaning will
help TO keep young birds in healthy
state. Dry earth is equally good.
BY all means use water fountains, or
at least some form of water vessel
that the flock cannot be forthwith their
feet pr otherwise. Set in shady places
and fill daily with fresh water.

ARRANGEMENT OF THE BRUSH

inch thick. Arrange these in pairs, as
many pairs as there are notches in
each end board, and bore holes through
them at intervals of one foot, prepare
tory to boiling them together. Brush
which has been collected from the
thicket is now placed between these
boards and clamped fast. For the sake
of clearness only one of these brush
is shown in the illustration. The
clamps thus formed are now placed in
the notches prepared for them in the
end boards, with the brush hanging
down. They are held down by a mar
row board nailed across the tops of the
posts at each end.
The device is now complete. The
difference in height at the two ends
makes it suitable for cattle of all sizes.
The brush will last for a long time, but
should they become much worn, or old
and brash, they may be easily replaced.

Oup Sturdy Country Boys,

! There is no question of the influence
which the sturdy outdoor life has upon
country boys; and the fact that the life
is harnessed to regular, imperative du-
ties is to the boys advantage. He is
developed gradually and healthily, his
mind following his physical strength
rather than the reverse. And around
him, for his everyday observation and
study, are the very best object lessons
possible for boys developing life.
He associates Familiarity with nature
during his work and recreation; and
even during his sleep, the air which en-
tiers his open chamber window is laden
with the odors of apple blossoms, or
the harvest season, or, perhaps, is the
pure, stimulatin atmosphere of the
white, undulating winter fields. But it
all goes toward making him stronger,
'sturdier, more self-reliant, more am
bilious, more observing. He is healthy
all through, physically, mentally, NOR

Prof. Unna, Hamburg, Germany, Euro

dandruff is as contagious as any other
malevolent disease, and that one common
source of the spread Of dandruff is the use
of the same hair brush by different persons.
The way to avoid catching dandruf or any
sist on the use of Newbro's Herpicide. 1t
not only kills the dandruff germ, but it is
also an antiseptic that will prevent the

reference to starch is that the iron

Justice Laughlin, in the supreme court,
Buffalo, has ordered permanent Injunction,
issue against Paul B. Hudson, the manu-
facturer of the foot powder called Or
Clark's Foot Powder" and also against
retail dealer of Brooklyn, restraining them
from making or selling the Dr. Clark's
Foot Powder, which is declared, in the in
junction of the court, an imitation and in
fringement of "Foot-Ease," the powder to
shake into your shoes, now so largely ad-
vertised and sold over the country. Allen
s. Olmsted, of Leroy, N. Y, is the owner of
the trademark Foot Ease, )" and he is the
first individual who ever advertised a foot
powder extensively over the country. The
decision in this case upholds his trademark
and renders all parties liable who fraudu-
(ently attempt to profit by the extensive
~,Foot-Ease" advertising, in placing upon
the market spurious and similar appear
ing preparation, labeled and put up in en-
velopes and boxes like Foot-Ease. Similar
suits will be brought against others who
are now infringing on the Foot-Ease trade
mark and common law rights.

Christian Schnepf, the local volun-

compiled statistics which make a very
interesting comparative report of the
weather in 1899 and 1900. The report
shows that the rainfall was lighter, and
the snow fall much heavier in 1900
than in the proceeding year. The
mean temperature was 2,3 degrees
higher last year than in 1899, and the
lowest temperature was zero, while
1899 was a record breaker for cold
weather, the temperature in February
that year being the lowest ever re-
corded in this section. The report for
the two years follows:
