SENSIBLE WOMEN UNPOPULAR
They Earn the Animesity of "erhers
of Their own Sex Because They
Are Not Fashionable.

OF late IL has come TO be regarded
as a misfortune for woman TO be
sensible. says the Chicago Chronicle.
She il not in the fashion. and there
fore might as well be out OF The
world. One of these sensible women
had a cook whom she cherished above
irubiss-eherished to such an extent,
indeed. that sometimes she was moved
TO hustle out to the kitchen and de-
clare that Kate looked pale and was
in need OF instant rest. NhersuPon
| Katie was bundled of upstairs and
milady herself would finish washing
the dishes or making the cake.
After four years Of such humane
treatment Mrs. Cook walked OF with
out a word of warning one day and
her employer. descending from her
! stills and becoming just an ordinary
person, wept and declared the un-
grateful one "a mean old thing"

AMONG THE POULTRY.

Save the meat scraps for your fowls.
Soft soap is good remedy for scaly
legs in fowls.
Ground bone can be fed alone or in
the soft food.
Proper food and variety of it make
strong, healthy chickens.
1t is q good rule to scald out the
drinking vessels once week.
Tobacco stems covered with straw
in the nests will prevent insect-breed-
ing.
If you want to keep eggs for any
length of time turn them over every
few days.
Clean earth is one of the best abb
sorbents that can be used in the poul-
try-house.
Whitewashing the nests, inside and
out, is a good means of keeping them
free from vermin.
Mark your chickens each year so
you can know their age and kill or sell
them after the third year.
Save the eggshslls, put them on or
in the stove until they are brown and
brittle, then break up fine and mix
with the soft food.
To prevent loss of feathers, which is
due to overlooking with heating mate
rial, such as corn and buckwheat,
change the food to something lighter.

HIGH PRESSURE FEEDING.
A Biunder Which Results In Loss of
PROFIT and 10 Apt to Make
Fowls SickIy.

Between feeding too little, feeding
just enough and overlooking, there
is room for many mistake in the be-
ginner's work. And it is not far from
the truth to say that this same be-
glnner worries more about the feed
ing than about any other one item.
Yet one of the most careful and prac-
tical of poultry writer's said last
month: Broadly speaking can
recommend all of 1T (printed direc-
tons for raising and feeding chick
ens) save the feeding of hard boiled
eggs, cracked corn and the withhold
ing of drinking water" Now, know
of plenty of good chicks that have
been raised on cracked corn alone,
and 1 have known of others who feed
literally of hard-boiled egg nearly
all through the season. The real
trouble lies in overlooking or in not
making a practical mental classifica-
ton of the various feeds into heavy
and light, laxative and the reverse.
All concentrated feeds are heavy"
This includes all the meats and all
feeds which have very little waste,
such as hulled grains. High-pressure
feeding consists in feeding all the
strong pushing feed the chicks can
stand, and ordinary sense should. tell
us that this is dangerous for the
novice to attempt. 1t is far safer to
feed variety, even to making each
meal different, or else to use feed
that contains many items, in way
to overcome each the others bad
points. Bran is the commonest bulky
feen and hard-boiled eggs are much
safer fed with bran than with other
feed. People are afraid to use horse
feed because of the supposed i'll effects
of the oat hulls on the chicks. Prob
ably they are not to be recommend
ed for the tiny fellows, but since the
editor of one of the most prominent
poultry papers said lately that he
never hesitated to feed his chicks
anything that he considered safe for
his hens, the rank and file should be
able to lay aside much Of it's anx-
iety lest the proper food is lacking
in the ration. Only, don't put sew
eral heavy feeds together, for that
isn't good sense.-M- " Norys, in
American Gardening

For long-distance swimming the
shark may be said to hold the record,
as he can outstrip the swiftest ships
apparently without effort, swimming
and playing around them and ever on
the lookout for prey. Any human be-
ing falling overheard in shark-fre-
quented waters has very little chance
of escape, so rapid is the action of the
shark. the monster of the deep. The
dolphin, another fast-swimming fish
a near relative of the whales credit
ed with speed of considerably over 20
miles an hour. For short distances
the salmon can outstrip every other
fish, accomplishing its 25 miles an hour
with ease. The Spanish mackerel is
one of the fastest of food fishes and
cuts the water like yacht. Preda-
tory fish are generally the fastest
swimmers.

OUR coUNTRY's STRENGTH.
IL Rests I'm the Rural Districts, I'm
contaminated by selhshness
and Corruption.

To speak of the ignorance of the
country people is to stamp ones self
as an ignoramus-not the country
people. +
There is an intelligence and sound
ness in the back country of this land
of ours, that those who live in cities
and think themselves wise little sus-
pect. Instead Of deprecating country
life, and saying that ito live in the
country means to live out of the
world" wise people know that the
free, untrammeled life of the country
unquestionably gives broader views.
We can talk all we like of social
revolutions" and kindred evils that are
supposed by some to threaten the
country; but when they do threaten,
the danger signal will come from the
back country.
In the clear air of the farm the view
Is broader, the heart sounder; and
when anything does menace the land,
the true voice which will stamp II out
will be apt to come from the country.
The backbone of the land rests in
the country, on the farm.-Farm Jour
nal.

MUSIC HAS STRANGE CHARMS.
Diplomacy of Clever Collector BrtnGs

linquents.

eft requires tact and diplomacy to
collect little outstanding accounts
these days, especially when dealing
with city employees" said a Manayunk
business man the other day, according
to the Philadelphia Record Its no
use making bluff or pleading poverty
when dealing with policemen. Their
hearts are like adamant- You must go
gently--kind of size them up, as it
were. Strike them about pay day be-
fore their wives get at the wallet; for,
of course, if their better halves get it
first you are left, and the poor copper
has hardly enough left to buy his to-
hacco until the next month.
You see, have an advantage be-
cause l am sort of musician. When
the officer gets his money he will re-
turn to the sitting-room of the sta
ton, take an account Of stock and con-
fer with the other fellows about how
to make the pile reach out until the
next pay day.

tune"

NOTES ON ALFALFA.
II Requires Large Quantities of Lime
Which Should he Applied the
Previous Fall.

Lime is very necessary element in
the soil, at least in states where the
plant may be considered out of it's nat
nral region. The lime should be ap-
piled the fall previous to the seeding
and should be well narrowed into the
soil. If commercial fertilizers are to
be used they should be applied just
previous to the seeding, unless we ex-
eept Stag, which should be put on some
months before. The manure should
be applied after the cutting, prefer
ably late in the fall. The trouble with
alfalfa is to get good start and a
good deal of nursing is required for
the first year. For this reason the
surface soil should be carefully pre-
pared, so that the roots may penetrate
the earth as rapidly as possible. After
it is started, care must be taken not to
NOW it too close or pasture it too soon
or too close. 1t will not recover so
rapidly as does grass, and sometimes
not at all. This is especially true dur
ing the first year. 1t takes number
of years for the roots to get good de-
yelopment. They should therefore
have soil with good depth between
the surface and the water table.
Though alfalfa is a water-loving plant
it cannot grow with it's roots saturat-
ed. 1t is not by any means an aquatic
plant, even to its roots. This is one
reason why it fails on some soils-the
water table being too near the surface
of the ground. Weeds must be kept
out the first year, as they have bet
ter fighting chance at first than the
alfalfa.-Farmers Review.

PIANO OF MUSICAL STONES.
Extraordinary Instrument ON Dis
play mt the Brest Expo
sitiOn.

Honore Baudre, an aged amateur
scientist, has placed on show at the
international exposition at Brest
what he calls a geological piano, the
most curious instrument perhaps in
the whole world, reports a London
exchange. M. Baudre says it took
him 80 years to construct it and even
now he claims there is a slight defect
which he hopes to remedy before his
death. That there are musical stones
is not new thing, but an instrument
composed of stones collected during
more than three decades of patient
research in France and Canada is a
phenomenal achievement.
N. Baudre found most of his music
al stones IN Auvergne and every one
of them represents either a petrified
fish or some prehistoric instrument.
He relates that his greatest difficulty
consisted in finding the low c of his
octave. For more than ten years he
searched for it, when last fall he
came across it in Canada. He says
none can appreciate the joy he felt
at it's discovery. Those who have
heard NJ. Baudre play on his geolog-
ical piano say the music is much pur-
er and sweeter than that of any 9TH
err instrument and it needs no piano
tuner to put it in order.
M. Baudre has received fiattering
offers to bring his piano to America,
but he claims to be too old to under
take the journey, and as for selling
it, he would not part with it for all
the money in the world.

the water down quickly to the tile.
Otherwise a great deal will find it's
way through the stones of the wall
and enter the cellar, especially during
a heavy rain, when the ground is
soaked with moisture. There is al
ways space outside to be filled after
laying foundation wall. Let this be
filled with gravel or small stones, and
the water will fall down at once to
the tile drain. Take special care in the
laying of this drain, for when once
down it is very great job to take any
part of it up again.-N- Y. Tribune.

There is no place where fowls can
be more profitably raised than on the
farm. The man that makes business
of fowl raising may indeed succeed
better than the farmer, but he does so
often against great odds. The poultry
business fits admirably with the farm
crops. The fowls can be used for
cleaners, and the amount of food thus
saved is a very large item and the util-
ization of 1t means much money. The
farm, too, gives range for insect
hunting, of which the professional
poultryman cannot avail himself
