Thorough Culture.

Quite often it is possible by thorough
culture to bring up land which may
not have been producing anything near
what II should in state of high fer
tility. OF this fact we have recently
had good proof. On a comparatively
new piece of land we had been having
trouble for some time with wireweed.

are acquainted with this plant do not

Last summer before haying we

To Preserve Cut Flowers.

A bouquet sprayed with water and
placed under bell glass will last many
days longer than if simply placed in a
vase or bowl, while If a buttonhole
or n spray for the hair is required
to look fresh all day or mt an evening
fete dab of sealing wax at the end
of the stalks will keep the flowers
fresh for many hours.
Violets, primroses and many other
simple flowers. if placed in n bed Of
sand and kept moist, will keep fresh
for some weeks, while such flowers as
foxgloveS, campanulas, etc, if placed
in water, with the bottom leaves on
the stalks kept under water, will last
thrice as long as If the leaves were
stripped Off the stalks.
Ferns, when placed in water, should
always have some of the fronds left in
the water, as it has been proved over
and over again that no nourlshment
can be taken through the stem alone.

Winter Care of Poultry.

We are in receipt of letter from
one OF our readers asking us to give
briefly few of the best ways to care
Tor poultry during the winter months.
Ot course this would be impossible.
since the subject is one which requires
the greatest attention and limited
space will allow us to give in general
terms only the methods which have
given best results.
Poultry should be housed in clean.
warm houses, not too large because
large houses are cold-and during I'll
day they should have access T. 20

all the fowls to scratch and h--'sle 10

Their first food in the mo- rning shoul'
be small grain, oats or wheat scat

should be kept at wcsork until noon. A

should be given but not enough t.

The Ideal Bed Room.

Every bed room should be provided
with the essentials for healthful sleep
and the daily sponge bath.
As nearly as possible the room should
be kept free from anything that would
tend to cOntaminate the air.
1t should be as large as one could
afford, and the windows so arranged
that they may be opened at the top
and bottom.
If possible, the floor should be bare
and the rugs so small that they can
be taken outdoors with ease for clean
ing and airing.
Everything about the room should
be washable
The bed should be light and fitted
with strong castors, so that it may
readily be moved.
The springs ought to be firm and
strong, and the mattress of a kind that
will not allow the heaviest part of
the body to sink and so cause the
sleeper to lie in Il cramped position.
Above all, do not overfurnish the
bed room.

A Perfect Figure.

The correct measurements for any
figure are: The height from the feet
to the top of the head is the distance
from the extremity of the fingers when
the arms are extended Or the height
is six times the length Of the foot; the
face, from the highest point of the
forehead to the chin, is one-tenth Of
the whole height of the figure; the
hand from the wrist to the middle
finger. is the same; and from the top
of the chest to the highest point of the
forehead is a seventh of the entire
height.
Another means Of computation is:
Twice around the base of the thumb
once around the wrist; twice around
the wrist. once around the neck: twice
around the neck, once around the
waist; thrice around the neck, once
around the bust. and twice around the
waist once around the hips.-Amcr-

cuAIosITIgs I'M LAW BOOKS.
Case Was Reversed because OF Voice In
Election of the Judge


Election of the Judge.
Law books are fun OF curious de-
cisions." said a member of the legal
profession, land frequently the higher
courts have reversed cases on the most
peculiar grounds imaginable But L
recall one case which is probably more
peculiar than any other case which one
may find among the many reports
which have accumulated since the ear
liest report was handed down. AS
strange as it may seem. the ground
upon which the Supreme Court re-
verSed the finding OF the lower court
was found i'm an exception which had
been taken to the intonatior of the
voice of the trial judge. II was in
suit for damages against n railroad
corporation. Action had been brought
against the company by a former en-
ploye who had been discharged and
blacklisted by employers during Il diff
ference between the corporation and
members of the SwitcherS' Union. De
famation of character and loss on ac-
count of being out of employment, eX-
emplary considerations and other
grounds We're assigned i'm the declara-
ton filed in the case The trial came
on and the evidence tended to show
that the man had been discharged and
blacklisted without reason. and that he
had sustained positive damage on ac-
count of these things.
But when the time came for the
judge to charge the jur5 and TO give
the jurors the law from the books.
as the saying goes. the interesting part
of the yarn began to unfold. The Judge
was deep-toned. deep-lunged fellow,
and when he beloved i'm earnest II
would sound like a peal of thunder
from Mammoth Cave. But when he
made an effort to soften and modulate
his voice he could make it as soft and
us gentle as an angels whisperings.
This is exactly what he did, according
to the attorneys for the plaintiff. While
charging the law which affected the
rights of the plainfff, his tone was
mild. meek, scarcely audible. But,
gentlemen of the jury he stormed out
with laundering emphasis. if on the
other hand. you find so and so TO be
the case, you will return a verdict
in accordance with your sworn duty
for the defendant Emphasis settled
that case. But the attorneys had been
sharp enough to note an exception
TO the way in which his honor charged
the law, with particular reference 10
the information of his voice. The mo-
ton for n new trial was made on the
exceptions noted. the case appealed
and the Supreme Court finally took
the matter up. The attorneys eX-
planned the difficulties in the way of
giving the judges an adequate idea
Of the effect of the trial judges voice
on the jury, but they gave fair idea
of it by saying that the law for the
plaintiff was charged in nonpareil,
while the law respecting the rights
of the defendant company was handed
down in bold-face boX-car letters. The
Supreme Court reversed the finding
of the lower court, the case was re-
manded for trial again, and damages
were finally assessed against the cor
poration. New Orleans Times Demo

farmers are so convinced that holding
goods is bad policy. that they rush
products to market almost straight
from the field. and sometimes in only
half-ripe condition and with the soil

policy has been demonstrated over and
over again. The first rush of almost
any farm product is overwhelming

In the cities mammoth storage

products indefinitely. Spectators pur-
chase goods when prices are very low
and store in these houses for n rise
in price, paying meanwhile high rent
and commissions. Many farmers have
reasoned that if these spectators and
dealers could find it profitable to store
their goods in winter, they could do
it likewise at n profit on the farm.
| This is generally false reasoning for

large extent from shrinkage. The
farmers cannot preserve their products
