GRANDPA Pettua.

One Of the most interesting men In
congress is Senator Pettus Of Alabama.
He is generally known rs Grandpa Pet
tus, being 80 years old In all outward
respects the venerable statesman is a
most solemn proposition" He usual
~ carries a red bandanna handkerchief,
wears spectacles on the extreme tip OF
his nose and chews tobacco with his
front teeth. He never was known To
smile, though he says the drollest
things imaginable.
That years do not necessarily mean
age is beautifully demonstrated by the
example of Pcttus. He has led an
active and eventful life. lie was a
lieutenant In the Mexican war and a
brgadier general IN the Confederate
army. He has been In more battles
than he IS years old When not fight
ing. he has been practicing law. He
never went in" much for politics,
though he liked to 20 10 national con
yentlons once in awhile and could al
ways get delegates commission.
When he was about - years Of age, be
took ii into his head that he would
like to be Judge Of the federal court
and modestly applied for the Job. Mr..
Pugh of Alabama. who was then sen
ator, declined to indorse his applica-
ton on the ground that be was too old.
He was a year Pugh's senior. "All
right" replied Pettus. Il may be too
old for a judge, but am young enough
to be a senator" And thcreupon be
went out after Pugh's seat and brought
II home by big majority.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE


Often we find that old straw hats are
subjects Of grave consideration. Many
OF them, we hear it said, are too good
to be thrown away, too fanciful to be
given to the poor and yet not quite
modish enough to tempt their owners
into trimming them up for another
season. This, then, Is the time when
It Is best to transform them into lamp
shades. Most charming as lamp shades
they become. especially for summer
houses and verandas.
To carry out the scheme is a simple
matter. Leghorns or very large garden
hats Of rough straw are the most de-
slrable. First should the top Of the
crown be cut out, when already, as can
be imagined, the hat will assume some
what the shape OF lamp shade. Un-
derneath IT should then be wired up
and down as well as about the top and
bottom that II may be held In shape
and bent gracefully. for above all else
these shades must have a free. fioppy
appearance. They do not look well II
at all stiff The trimming consists
mostly Of artificial flowers and grasses,
which many women have on hand from
hats OF preceding summers. Long. deep
green grasses are usually hung about
the lower edge as a fringe. II. how
ever the edges are not In good condi-
ton. It looks very well to put about
them run Of pInked out taffeta rib
bon either to match or contrast with
the color OF the straw.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Growing Tomatoes.

Yick's Magazine says that Professor
Mussey formerly entertained the Opin-
ion that heavy applications Of nitrOg
enous manures for tomatoes made the
vines too rank and the fruit crooked
but now he thinks that If the strain OF
seed is good no amount of manuring
will make 1t more irregular in form
and that a rank growth of vine means
that they will need more room and
produce n larger crop of large tomatoes,
He believes that seed from small fruits
will produce small fruit, and the re-
verse; that training to a single stem
results In less number of blossoms, less
pollen and a smaller crop, while the
largest crops are on the plants that are
allowed to develop naturally, and fruit
on healthy plants lying on the ground
is no more liable TO rot than that of II.
Like Indian corn, the tomato produces
best when the seed is grown IN the
same climate and latitude where the
crop is TO be grown. and to take it far
north or south is TO prevent 1t from
doing its best. If this is SO, the gar
dener will do we'll to save his own seed
from his largest tomatoes, which Is a
very simple matter.

Marketing Honey.

Never send out sections Of which
wood or comb is not perfectly clean
and neat looking, or if such must be
sold do not put name or address on it,
but let it sell on its merits. says Amer
lean Cultivator. The honey may be as
good as some that looks better, but il
will not sell as readily or attract Gus
toners as quickly. The same is true Of
imperfectly filled sections, which are
usually worth more to use for bees
food in winter or spring than they will
sell for Having neat and clean look
ing sections of comb honey. they will
deserve clean crates for shipment. Use
no soap boxes, saleratus boxes or the
like, but get well made crates to hold
u, IS or "a sections in a crate, and
better If the crate is glass upon one
side

Quality is always an important fac
tor in disposing of farm products, but
in many cases its cost to the farmer Is
practically nothing. In the matter Of
butter making It costs absolutely no
more to make a high grade quality
than inferior butter. Even the cost Of
extra labor in keeping things clean
and sweet about the dairy cannot be
counted. Tor it really does not take
more work TO keep things clean than
TO let them go dirty. 1t is merely a
question of method and system. Quail
ity is worth n good deal in the market
Whether II Is butter, fruit or vege-
tables or animals that one Is selling,
the determining fact II is the quality
of the goods The extra payment re-
ceiyed for good quality most generally
represents the difference between
profit and loss. The farmers who find
that no branch of farming pays are
usually those who pay little regard TO
the quality of their goods.

Pasturinr Sheep with Cows.

Some one who claims to know says
that Of about GOO varieties of weeds
that are common in our fields sheep
are known to eat 515 varieties. while
horses eat but n few Of each. says
American Cultiyator. If we do not
vouch for this as being exactly correct,
we know that sheep destroy many
weeds that our other farm animals do
not care for or will not eat unless
starved TO it, and this Is why we claim
that from four to six sheep can be kept
In a pasture with each COW and they
will eat what the COW leaves, and by
the destruction of weeds and the ferti
lizer they leave in the field will enable
the pasture to furnish better feed for
the cows than they would have If the
sheep were not there, at least after the
sheep have run with them one year.

Hanapshire sheep.

The Hampshire sheep Is said to have
been created or developed to what it
now is by crossing the Southdown up
on the old Hampshire. with a possible
infusion of the COtswold. They have
the blacklist face and legs Of any Of
the Downs sheep. When well grown,
under good care the rams are liable to
weigh 300 pounds and the ewes 200
pounds. They are among the most
hardy sheep, at least of the large
breeds, and appear to enjoy facing a
wind or storm on the top of some hill
rather than to seek shelter. They ma
ture early and fatten readily, while
the flesh as lamb or mutton is not In
any way inferior to the Southdowns.

HrnlIeH ChIckenn.

Chickens for roasting or boiling
should have a dressing prepared like
that for turkeys. Half teacupful OF
rice boiled with the chickens makes
them look white. They Will be less liza
bic to break II the water Is cold when
they are put In. A little salt pork boil
ed with the chickens improves them.
If You do not boil pork with them, they
will need salt. Chickens for brolllng
should be split, the lnwards taken out
and the chicken washed inside and out.
Put the bony side down on the gridlron
and broil 1t very slowly until brown,
then turn II and brown II on the other
side. About 40 minutes Is required to
broil a common sized chicken. For
roast chicken boil the liver and giz-
yards by themselves and use the water
for gravy to the chickens.

Breaking Range Horses.

Farmers are getting hold Of good
many range horses from the great sales
in the west, nearly all Of them IN
broken, says National Stockman. There
seems to be an idea prevalent that tie
way to break a range horse is to thor
oughly exhaust him or half kill him.
Nothing of the sort. He should be
broken just as If he were native colt
making due allowance for his greater
fear Of human beings, his strangeness
to restraint and his greater strength
and activity. The range horse Is not
often vicious. He is simply wild and
ignorant.

and one or two pickles, depending
upon their size. Add to these a cupful

The early farrOwed pig, February or
March, should be out of the way in
time to give his brother following him
in April time to get a good start before
winter comes on, says J. NJ. Jamison in
National Stockman. The early pig can
be fattened much cheaper than one
narrowed later that has to be fed into
winter to get ready for market.
Another point in favor of the early
pig, he can be put on the market before
new corn hogs crowd the market and
packers begin TO break down the
prices. Last year and the previous
year were notable examples of having
the spring pig ready for market in Oc-
tober, not later than the third week.
