IN PUBLIC LIFE.

In his Chattanooga speech Presi-
dent Roosevelt said: There is not any
thing more soul-harrowing for a man
in time of war, or man engaged in
a difficult job in time of peace, than
to give an order and have the gentle
man addressed say: 'What?'"
Gen. Andre, French minister of
war, is quoted as saying to Capt. Bent
ley Mott, of the embassy at Paris:
"The United States army now has the
most serviceable and warlike uniform
have ever seen. The head dress Is
perfect; the color is scientifically cor
rect. To my mind the new American
uniform is the best yet invented"
The wives of two of the most impor-
tant ambassadors of foreign powers
who will be stationed at Washington
the coming season are American wom-
en-. Sir Michael Herbert, the British
diplomat, married a Washington belle
and NJ. Jusserand, the new French am
bassador, is the husband of the daugh-
ter of the American banker in Paris,
Mr.. Monroe.
Hoe Vow, Chinese consul at San
Francisco and chief consul of his coun-
try in this country, is a Christian and
has learned Christian ways. For in
stance, he has organized an iron and
steel company with capital of $4,000
600 to do business in China and will
soon go there to start it in active oper-
ton. Most of the capital has been
subscribed by Chinese merchants in
this country. Minister WI is the only
Chinaman in this country who out
ranks Mr.. Hoe, the one being of the
fourth and the other of the fifth rank.

A Chronic GrumbIer.

To the large number of stories of the
"meanest man" which are frequently re
lated, one should be added of certain
Frenchman, famous for his habit of grumb
ling at everything and on every occasion.
He was attacked by infammatory rheu
matism, and was carefully nursed by his
wife, who was very devoted to him, in spite
of his fault-fnding disposition. His sui
fering caused her to burst into tears some
times as she sat at his bedside.
One day a friend of the invalid's came
in and asked him how he was getting on.
Badly, badly" he exclaimed; "and it's
all my wife's fault"

prise.

Father of Smart Young Man Had
Good Reason to Doubt His Own
Judgment,

Not long ago a youth residing in the city
of churches had adopted the pompadour
method of combing his hair, and his ia

that there was only one sensible and manly
way to comb the hair, and that was to part
it on the side-either side. Everything else
was dudish and affected in his opinion.
Only a woman was privileged to take lib
critics with old established methods, relates
the Chicago Chronicle.

Telephones on the. Farm.

The telephone to many farmers is
as indispensable as it is to many mer-
chants in the city. It keeps the farm
er in close touch with all the condi-
lions of trade, and thus, whether he
wants to buy or SELL he is in better
shape to do it intelligently. A story
is told of an Ohio farmer who tele-
phoned to town to find out how the
Chicago market was. He learned that
feeding cattle were lower, so he i'm

When Buying Nursery Stock Be Care

1t costs great deal of money. great
deal of time and great deal of ex-

and these are facts which more in

not been lowered by improved meth

better plants are grown, both in kind
and in condition, at greater expense

with the greatest ease and consequent
cheapness, and unbelievers having this
class in mind often fail to recognize

There is no worse animal to put
into an orchard than the goat, be-
cause he is a browser of the truest
type. but for preparing brush or
timbercd land that is to be put into

Material For Manure.

There is always q large amount of
coarse material in the barnyard that
has little or no plant food in 1t, espe
cially If it has been exposed. Such
manure is not worth taking to the
fields, and If turned under it will make
the soil dryer in summer. Such mate
rial should be made the foundation for
a new heap, SO as to rot it down to less
bulk, but also to use 1t as absorbent
matter for fresh manure.
Personal interest of course, has been
factor In all this, but genius and com
mendable desire for betterment and the
accomplishment Of good In the world
have been great factors in this won
derfully advanced movement. Amer
lean manufacturers lead the world in
these great economic strides, and the
demand abroad for their products, con-
stantly increasing, yeriiies this claim
for their skill and ingenuity. No otter
country in the world has been able
to advance the price of labor fifty per
cent, and yet reduce the cost of pre-
duction more than 200 per cent. \

Just then the front-door bell rang.

Ducks and geese are plentiful along

Give the Cows Sunlight.

The one thing that we think quite
as important to cows as either fresh air
or exercise is that of which they are
most frequently deprived in the old
fashioned stables of those who believe
in having them out Of doors during the
day, and 1t may be that it is so neces-
sary to their well being that q few
hours outing may do them good
enough to counterbalance the injury
done by being out in the cold.
Sunlight is as necessary to the thrifty
and healthy growth of animals as Of
plants. Every stable or place where
they are kept should be well lighted
upon the south side. not only by having
plenty of glass, but that glass kept
clean enough to allow the sun to pene-
trate 1t freely. We have seen glass so
Opaque with cobwebs and dirt as to
admit only enough light to allow one to-
grope his way about in semi-darkness.
The dim religious light" of the an
cient and some modern churches is not
good enough for barn. We do not
care for blue glass or other stained
glass, but want clear, clean, trans
parent glass, that will let In the full
rays of the sun. Even double sashes of
glass now cost but little more for the
space they occupy than the siding and
painted clapboards, or a shingle sash
with curtain to shut out the cold
at night
Not everyone can afford new barns
with the modern improvements, but
many old ones could be so changed at
small expense as to make the stables
much warmer and lighter, and when
this is done they well be found a bet
ter place for dairy cows than the

Drinking Water on Farms

Drinking water on farms Is given bat
little consideration as to its purity
when it is derived from springs, hut
many farms are supplied with water
from open wells, and Its purity in such
cases depends largely upon the mode
Of protecting the well ind the sur
roundlngs. Wells being deeper than
bitches or drains, and the tendency of
water being downward, much soluble
matter goes into the we'll that is un-
known to the farmer. The water may
appear clear and pure, be free Of odor,
and yet contain impurities. Farmers
who do not consider the matter have
no conception Of the many sources
from which their drinking water is
obtained. 1t comes from the clouds,
of course, but it does not fall into the
well, only reaching it after passing
through the surface SOIL and dissolv-
ing the impurities. Because the water
passes through sand 1t is not filtered

Destroying Foul Brood.

At the annual meeting of the On
tario Beekeepers' Association, at Wood
stock, Ont, Professor Harrison, OF the
Ontario Agricultural College at Guelph,
described new and simple method of
destroying the germs Of foul brood.
He placed combs containing larvae
dead from this disease, capped cells OF
brood, and cells Of honey, in a box
which was air tight except for small
hole at top and bottom. Then u small
alcohol lamp was arranged with the
reservoir at the top containing for
malln, and connected by rubber tube
with the bottom of the box. This con-
veys to the box the formalin vapor pro-
duced by the heat of the lamp. When
the box is so completely filed with
the formalin that the gas issues freely
from the hole in the top, both holes
are tightly closed for one hour. Pro-
fessor Harrison has been unable to
obtain any signs of life from foul
brood germs treated in this apparatus.
