SHE HELPED HER HUSBAND.
Minister'S Wife Knew Her Business
and Drummed Up the Matri-
mOnia1 Department,

"Of course helped him." said the
bright little wife of the minister in
the course of natural conversation,
relates the Detroit Free Press. "Do
you suppose that if had ever been
milestone about his neck he would
be in charge of a fine parish in a
big city like Detroit and with two
or three openings for change when
ever he cares to make one?
II should think not. Ninety per
cent. of the married women want to
help their husbands, but they don't
know how. They fuss and fume and
fly around and court nervous pros
tration in their efforts, but the poor
things are just beating their wings
against the cage"
what was your plan, my dear?"
asked one of the interested listeners.
Business! That's the whole ex-
PLANTATION in a word. I kept up my So
cial obligations, but I didn't push
them. I helped the needy, but It was
through the established agencies of
the church. I was good fellow as
the men say, but never weighted
myself down with the idea that there
would never be sunshine or pleasure
in the parish unless I produced
them"
But can't you be more explicit?"
"Of course I can. I devoted myself
to the ma trimonial department.. Yes,
I was matchmaker, but I was a
good one in every sense. I brought
the right kind of people together.
cleared the way when they were in
doubt, and when the event came off,
I was one of the essential features.
I made things merry for them and
they used to postpone weddings upon
notice that it would be impossible
for me to attend. I left only one per-
son of manageable age in the par
ish, and there was no one there to
marry him to. Of course, my hus-
band officiated.
"What was the result? We were
the most popular couple in that part
of the vineyard. The wedding fees
were clear gain. Our reputation went
abroad and outsiders never stopped
to investigate as to why we were so
popular. I wasn't an INSCRIPTIONS
promoter, for that husband of mine
could succeed in the best church of
London. But I opened the way, and
it never would have been opened if
I had just run about and sympathized
and done enforced social duty. I
can't preach, but I brought you the
man who can"

first he thought the country rather
dull, but one day, as he was strolling
through Srebrenica, near the Servian
border, he saw an object in which
he at once became deeply interested.
This was a cap, or hat, of extraor-
binary shape and construction, and it
was worn by a comely farmers
wife. The German followed the wom-
an at respectful distance, and the
more he studied her strange head
gear the more his instincts az a
sartorial artist convinced him that
by i little deft manipulation and a
proper arrangement of colors it
could be transformed into a hat that
would delight the most fastidious
lady in Berlin.
That very evening, therefore, he OBJ
tanned a sample cap and examined it
closely. He found that it's founda-
tion wa $ of straw, and that on it was
built an amazing and gorgeous su-
perstructure of cocks and peacocks'
feathers. In front, too, was a small
framed mirror and round it were sew
eral silver coins and two of gold.
Next day he made further inquiries
and learned that sometimes the
foundation is an ordinary fez instead
of straw; that an embroidered kerr
chief is invariably worn with the
cap, falling down from it at the back,
so as to protect the neck, and that
the headgear was introduced from
Servia in Bosnia about 20 years ago.
What surprised him most, however,
was to learn that it is only married
women who wear this cap, and that
it is their fixed rule to strip it of all
it's feathers after they are married
one year, and thenceforth to wear
only the foundation of straw or q
plain fez.
With three or four Bosnian caps
carefully packed in bandboxes he re-
turned to work, and now his firm is
anxiously debating whether it would
be possible to model from this pic
turesque headgear hats that would
commend themselves to the fashion
able women of Berlin.

Feeding Calves on Skimmflk.

Prof. D. H. Otis, of Kansas, in an
address delivered before the Missouri
State Dairymen's association, said: A
dairyman's herd of skim milk calves
is very good index as to the char
acter of the man. Experience of both
the experiment stations and up-to-
date dairy farmers shows that calves
fed warm sweet skim milk, in clean
buckets, with access to corn or Kaffir
corn meal, bright hay, fresh clean wa
ter, salt, plenty of sunlight, shelter
and bedding in cold weather, shade in
summer, regularity, thoughtfulness
and kindness in treatment, will usual
ly be thrifty and gain from one and
one-half pounds to two pounds daily.
The dairyman who is unable to do this
is behind the times and usually behind
in his accounts. In other words, he
is a scrub dairyman.

Resistance of Bacteria to Heat.

Many persons have erroneous no.
lions as to the ease with which bac-
terra are destroyed by heat. In fact,
the thermal death-point' for bac-
terial organisms varies widely. Some
forms of water bacteria are killed by
simple blood-heat, while pathogenic
bacteria develop best at that temper
allure. During their multiplying and
negotiating phase of life bacteria are
more easily destroyed by heat than
they are after passing to the resting
or spore stage. Some spores derived
from the soil require boiling for 16
hours to insure their death. Moist
heat in the form of steam is the
most effectual disinfectant. No
spore, however resistant, remains
alive after one minutes exposure to
steam at 14o degrees centigrade. But
no degree of cold has been found suf-
ficient to destroy bacterial life.-sci-
ence.

THE ROAD TO FAILURE.
Farmers Who Don't Get Out of the
Rut and Stick to Antiquated
Ideas Surely Are on 1t.

The more a wagon runs in a rut
the deeper the nut grows and the
more difficult it becomes for the driv-
er to get out of it. There are hum
dreds of farmers in ruts, so to speak,
and each year seems to weaken their
power or thWart their desire to get
out. The farmer who for Is or 20
years has been growing corn and oats
alternately on what he mistakenly
thinks inexhaustible soil is in a deep,
well-worn rut that slopes toward
hard times for that farmer. He
ought to get out and travel on a
smooth surface. He ought to grow
more crops and live stock. He should
grow cowpeas and soy beans, rape
and sorghum, clover and vetch. What
will he do with them? Feed them
right On the farm.
Oats and corn have their place in
a rotation of farm crops, but a great

be much improved if given rest
from these fertility teaches. Legumin-
Gus and forage crops must supplant

corn belt. The land demands the
change. Good farming approves it.
Farmers must get out of the rut or
be mired. The latter will be their
lot if they continue the two-crop
system which they SO long have been
practicing. TO avoid it is quite as
easy as to encounter it.
Without suggesting a complete pro-
gramme, let us urge that you SOW
some cowpeas and soy beans this
year. Double disk some of your oat
land as soon as the crop is harvest
ed, harrow it we'll and drill in the
peas or beans. At last cultivation of
corn sow about ten pounds of clover
seed per acre broadcast amongst the
stalks. Try ten acres this way. Sow
some rape. Try some vetch. Get
more live stock on your farm. Feed
them on those good things herein
mentioned. Keep some good cows.
Raise poultry. Grow fruit. Have sew
eral hives of bees. Be real farmer
and get out of the ruts.-Farmers'
Voice.

To Destroy Currant Worms.

Hellebore is the proper remedy.
Some sprinkle it on dry. That is
somewhat wasteful. The most eff
fective method of application is to
dissolve in scalding water and put a
strong solution, about spoonful for
a pail or water. It will not do to APP
ply once only. The eggs seem to be
innumerable and the" next day an
other swarm of the worms will, ap-
pear. 1t is not considered safe to use
Paris green on currant bushes; there
is danger that it may poison the
fruit. If dry hellebore is used in
abundance it would be better to
spray freely afterwards with pure
water and thoroughly cleanse the
pushes.

him to throw up his hands. He was so
