"What does do fer er libbin,' Jedge

who was arraigned for beating a small

Eyes, that all right about your play
ing the fiddle and yanking music out
with your bow, but what about using
the bow on boys head instead of on

"Jest bin chasterizin' dat bad boy

fiddler. "Dat boy lowed dat 1 war not

'"That's what I mean," the recorder

About Sailing Annles.

If apples are sold to commission men
or fruit dealers it is best to consult
them as to the time and manner of
picking, grading and packing. says
Farmers Tribune. They are familiar
with the wants of the trade and know
best how to meet its demands. A large
crop of good winter apples can some
times be disposed of to the best advan-
tage by selling in the orchard for a
lump sum. This obviates the work and
worry of marketing. and holding such
perishable crop for higher prices is
risky business. 1t is not apt to pay
unless one is a good judge of the mar
ket and the fruit is well stored. Where
the apples are sold on the trees one
should be able to correctly estimate the
quantity of apples on a tree and know
the highest price which they will COM
mand on the market. But however the
crop is sold, it is well for the orchard
ist to ha the picking under his con-
troll, as tres are often injured, limbs
broken, etc.

To Kill Insects,

1t may not be generally known that
skim milk or buttermilk readily mixes
with kerosene, forming an emulsion
which destroys insects without danger
or injury to animals or plants on which
they might be that might result ON
the use of pure oil and water, says the
American Cultivator. We first learned
of this from using this mixture for the
scale insect, or mite, which causes
scaly legs on fowls. We found that one
or two dippings or washings with it
would cure the worst case of scaly leg
and leave the skin as smooth as when
first hatched. We never had occasion
to try it for lousy animals, for we nev-
er had one, but we do not hesitate to
recommend it, and we have lately seen
its use advised for ticks on sheep,
using a gill of kerosene to one gallon
of milk. We did not make our mixture
so strong of kerosene as that, but per-
haps the larger tick may need a strong
er application than an insect so small
as to be scarcely visible to the naked
eve.

Worry as a Success Killer.

Perhaps there is nothing else so ut
terterly foolish and Improbable as a
habit of worrying. 1t saps the ner-
vous energy, and robs US of the
strength and vitality necessary for the
real work of life. 1t makes existence
burden and WEAKNESS, instead of a
perpetual joy and blessing, as it should
be. Poise and serenity are necessary
to the complete development of charac-
ter and true success. The man who
worries is never self-centered, never
perfectly balanced, never at his best;
for every moment of mental anxiety
takes away vitality and push, and
robs him of manhood and power.
Worrying indicates lack of conf
dence in our strength; it shows that we
are unbalanced, that we do not lay
hold of the universal energy which
leaves no doubt, no uncertainty. The
man who does not worry, who believes
in himself, touches the wires of in
finite power. Never doubling, never
hesitating, he is constantly reinforced
from the Omnipotence that creates
planets and suns. The habit of worry
is largely a physical infirmity; it is an
evidence of lack of harmony in the
mental system. The well-poised soul,
the self f-centered man, never wabbles
or hesitates. The infinite balance
wheel preserves him from all shocks,
and all accident or uncertainty.
Enough vital energy has been wasted
in useless worry to run all the affairs
of the world.-Success.

Ratious for Mich Cows,

1t is generally understood that the
average COW ought to have between
two and three pounds of digestible
protein daily as a part of the ration.
One often finds one or more cows in a
herd that will do well on a ration con-
tanning less than two pounds of pro-
tein, and on the other hand some of the
herd need considerable more protein.
Wheat bran of good quality is gener-
ally conceded to be an ideal product
to feed with corn and other grains, al
though we may obtain much more pro-
tein and considerable mineral matter
from feeding cotton-seed meal, but
this may not be fed in large quanti-
ties. Gluten meal supplies protein in
other sections, while in still other Sec
tions dependence for protein is placed
almost wholly on cowpea hay and al
falfa, with small feeds of cotton-seed
meal, the hay of the cowpeas and al
falfa being ground. The essential
thing is to obtain the best quality of
protein for ones herd at the smallest
possible xpense.-Exchange.

been made to increase the number OF
rows of corn on the cob with success.
The same method is applicable to poul-
try breeding. We will start with hen
that lays 120 eggs. Some of her chicks
will lay 130 per year From these we
will pick out layers and so on until 200
or better are the result. At the same
time it is just as essential to breed out
of males from prolific layers, as it is the
females; in fact, it is more so. If we
look after the breeding of the females
only We will introduce on the male side
blood which is lacking in proficiency.
and thus check every attempt in prog
ress. 1t is just as essential that the
male should be from the hen which lays
175 eggs and from male that was bred
from hen that laid $50 eggs, as it Is
that the hen should be from one that
laid It's eggs and whose mother laid
$50 eggs.-Poultry Herald.

"Oh, I'll let you in," she answered eag-

She let down the chain, and opened the
door. There was a dim light burning
in the hall, which looked shabby and
poverty stricken. 1 had only time to take
a vague general impression, before the
little girl conducted me to a room on the
ground floor.
"I'm to go if you CO." she said again;
"and, oh! do SO hope you will agree to

a long building of two stories, and steer

house in the front, with rich lace eur

Sugar Beet Culture,

SuSar beet Sultures
We have not been an advocate of
sugar-beet growing because we have
believed that good farmer can grow
other crops on good land with less la
Dor that will bring more money, but
we have not tried to injure the busi-
ness, as a German paper would do
when it says, "Plow in the spring. re-
gardless of mud and water. Stop every
drain that may be carrying the water
away from the beet fields. Fall plow-
ing is to retain the moisture Spring
ploWiGg must aim to secure every bit
of moisture for the beet field" We
have grown some sugar beets, not for
the factory. but for stock feeding, and
we would say to any one growing for
either purpose do not plow or sow the
seed until the ground is dry and firm
10 plow regardless of mud and water"
will insure a small crop of beets that
are scarcely worth feeding to the COW
or pigs. Fall plowing should be done
to relieve the land of moisture and not
to retain it, and thus it should be, when
it is possible, up and down the side
hills instead of around them, that the
water may be drained off by the bot
tom of the furrow, below the earth that
is turned over. AS we never visited
Germany we will not say the advice is
not good there, but we know of no part
of the United States where we think it
would be good. But we will give a
little bit of what we think is better
advice. If you grow sugar beets do
not sell them at 81 or $5 ton, when
you have cattle or hogs to feed them to,
unless you can get back all the pomace
made from them.-NeW England Home

Testing Seed.

The result of tests made by compe-
tent men with samples of seeds sent
to the Buffalo Exposition proves two
things: First, the necessity for care on
the part of farmers in buying seeds
only from reputable seedsmen, and,
second, the desirability of testing all
seeds during the winter, that the loss
of both seed and crop may be avoided.
In the tests referred to the percentage
of good seed was very low in the ma
jority of cases. With some samples
the good seed was found to be only
about 20 per cent of the whole. In one
test of orchard grass sold at So per
hundred pounds, the good seed was
only 16.5 per cent of the whole, max
ing the real cost of the good seed
$3S.46 per hundred pounds. 1t is true
the original price of S. per hundred
pounds is low, but the result ought to
have been better even then.

Washing and Working Butter.

After drawing off the buttermiIk
wash twice or until the wash water
runs off clear. Then work in salt to suit
the taste of your trade and set away
for three OF four hours, then rework and
pack or stamp. The interval between
sailing and stamping allows the salt
thoroughly to permeate the whole
mass, and the second working also in
sures a uniform mixing of the salt as
well as working out any excess of
water. Never work butter when it is
warm enough to be salvy. There are
two watchwords for the buttermaker.
They are cleanliness and uniformity,
and are worth remembering if you are
looking for trade and reputation.

of the horse stumbling from any cause;
l would, therefore, say that, instead of
preventing horses from falling, the
bearing-rein is calculated to render
falling more frequent. Other not un-
common results of the use of this in
strument of torture are distortion of
the windpipe to such a degree as to
impede the respiration ever afterward,
excoriation Of the mouth and lips,
paralysis of the muscles of the face,
etc. Another writer says: Tying one
part of an animals body to another
does not necessarily keep him on his
feet. 1t is the pull from the arm of the
driver that makes the horse regain him
self when he stumbles. One might as
well say that tying a mans head back
to a belt at his waist would prevent
him from falling if he stumbled in a
race"

At that moment an imperious knock
sounded upon the outer door, and the lit

Then the woman's footsteps went on
