Making Postal Cards.

The manufacture OF postal cards Is
an interesting process. From the paper
mill millions Of sheets. 30xJ0 inches in
size, are brought to the pressroom and
printed upon presses having n capacity
OF 1900 impressions per hour. The
sheets. each containing ninety cards,
makes the capacity OF the presses 100.
900 an hour. or 100000 day. The
new forms will. however, contain 10
plates. and the presses. which are 70
be put up in Maine. will have a greater
hourly capacity; hence the daily output
can bc increased The sitter which
cuts the cards into strips OF ten cards
each. is operated by one man. After
the large cards are slitted into strips OF
ten cards each they are taken 20 the
cutting machines. which are operated
by women. Here they are fed through
;hc cutting machines. tarec strips az a
time. for eight times. and then one
strip. making in all twenty-five cards
which are dropped In bundles and
banded by two girls, who occupy seats
near the machines. Twenty OF these
packages OF twenty-five cards IRE
placed in a pasteboard box: these boxes
next go TO three young men. whose
duty IL Is TO put them in wooden boxes;
the cards are stored away In the large
freproof vault TO await shipment to
the various postofHces.

Marjorie was not at all surprised
for, of course, like all well-informed
little girls, she knew there were many
kinds of fairies, although this was the
first time she had heard Of medicine
fairy. she hastily drew the cork from
the bottle and the little voice sounded
clearer and louder as il said: II am
under a spell, and cannot leave this
bottle, but If you will take a spoonful
Of this medicine II will instantly release
me, and l will come forth and do battle

Marjorie did not hesitate for mo.

on the stand and poured 1t full of med.
icine, which she swallowed at once,
trying not TO make a wry face as she
did so. Instantly there sprang forth
from the bottle fairy, who resembled
n beautiful red poppy. Then Marjorie
noticed for the first time an ugly darl;
giant standing by the bed. who glared
angrIly at Poppy Seed.

been a very brave little girl. for she
did not feel at all alarmed by the
presence OF these unexpected guests

Keeping Old Hay.

We used to say that old hay well
kept In the barn was better than money
az interest. but the following para
graph from an exchange leads US to
think that IL Is possible 10 keep IL too
long for profit. A farmer Of Laconiai
y. H.. has been feeding out hay TO hls
stock this spring which was harvested
in the spring of 1S57-forty- years
ago. This hay is yet clean and bright,
being in every way as handsome and
perfect as when put into the barn. We
do not remember the price of hay I'm
1857. but about 1867 we sold hay OF
our own curing at about $50 per ton.
But IL that hay was worth but $50
per ton forty-hve years ago, and had
been sold and the money placed az
interest IL would have bought a great
deal Of hay this spring. while at COM
pound interest the price OF ton would
have been enough by this time 10 have
paid for a pretty good New Hamp-
shire farm. While IL Is not a good
idea 10 sell out so closely on non.
perishable produce as TO be obliged 20
buy again before another crop can be
harvested. we think forty-hve years Is
too long 20 hold a crop. We used 10
like 20 sell when we could get a fair
price and just retain what we thought
might be needed at home.-America1

Very quaint and picturesque are the
sleeves worn in the new silk coats

coats themselves are quite plain, but

dste is expended on the sleeves. The

Protecting Seed Corn From Crows.


After shelllng the corn we place It in
some dish and pour boiling water over
IL, meanwhile stirring it. The dish
must have a perforated bottom so that
the hot water will drain of quickly
and not kill the corn, as 1t will do IL
the corn is left standing in 1t. We use
an old dishpan with holes punched in
the bottom. This makes a very good
dish, as it Is shallow, being preferable
to a deeper one. After this process
take some coal tar. from two 10 four
tablespoonfuls to the bushel. and stir
II thoroughly into the warm corn. II
the corn Is warm and is stirred long
enough. the tar will coat each kernel
perfectly. Be careful not to get on
too much. The corn may now be
spread In the sun to dry. Flour or
mlddllhgs or in fact any fine substance
may be stirred into it to prevent stick
ing. l have seen road dust used, but
as we use a planter we never use this,
as Ii would injure the running parts.
Corn treated in this way will rarely be
troubled by crows, as there is some
thing about the tar that they will not
eat In fact, | have seen hens leave IL
where it had been scattered about
after being tarred-Robert II. Smith.
