Moses and His Horns.

Did Moses have horns? Certainly
not, but if you have ever had the
pleasure of examining copy Of Mi
clael Angeles great picture of "The
Lawgiver" you have wondered why
the great painter surmounted the pa
triarchal face, gray beard and becom-
ing priestly gown with pair of horns
much resembling those of a two-year-
old animal of the bovine tribe. The
reason Is this: Jerome's Bible, the
Latin Vulgate, tells that when Moses
came down from the mountain top his
face was radiant" Tayed) with the
great light shining from his pure soul.
In the Greek Septuagint the transla-
ton said it was "cornua," meaning
radiant" Jerome used this later YER
sion in making his Latin Vulgate and
translated "cornua" as "cornuta," the
last meaning horned. Angelo made
his picture accordingly.

Willow Growing.

One Of the incest little side issues
possible to farmer who has small
stream running through his place is
willow growing. There is a constant
and If anything increasing demand for
basket willows, and in many locations
the bushes can be grown with little or
no expense or trouble. Men who have
gone into it, however, on very small
scale as a trial have generally found it
SO profitable that they have devoted
some thought to its details and have
become extensive willow producers.
The department of agriculture some
years ago published a short pamphlet
describing the best methods of raising
willows and the conditions under which
they produce the highest priced reeds.
Willows will grow readily wherever
the ground is at all moist. Where
man has small fat which it would be
possible for him to overflow by the
construction of q cheap or temporary
earth dam, requiring perhaps a days
labor with his team, it might pay him
business little and see If he cannot
create an additional industry for the
farm without interfering with the 9th
er work. The Juvenile members of
some farmers families like to try their
hand at making willow ware during
the winter evenings.-Guy e. Mitchell

barn room will find it good invest
ment to have hay press, that he may
put it into smaller bulk, so that there
will be room for it in the barn instead
of stacking it out of doors. 1t will
keep better, and if he has any to sell
it will be more easily handled and sell
more readily Mt a better price. If one
cannot afford to buy a press, let those
in a neighborhood who are likely to
want to use it unite in owning one.
The hay may be stacked until the cut
ting and curing is over with If one
does not wish to run the press in hay
ing time, but the quicker the stack is
reduced to bales the better.

Storing Apples.

Apples should be stored in a cool,
dry place, says G. b. Barrett. Warmth
and moisture cause fermentation and
decay. If possible, separate the over
ripe ones from those gathered before
the ripening process was completed
before putting up for the winter. The
solid, unripened apples keep much
longer than those which have been al
lowed to remain on the tree until fully
ripe. But while the keeping quality
of the unripened ones is desirable, the
flavor is nevertheless impaired by gath
ering when in the best condition for
long keeping. If the temperature of
the cellar or house is kept even and at
the right degree, there is little danger
of losing even the ripest of the winter
varieties until the early spring months.
1t would be good plan to have some
of the latest keepers that have been
gathered and stored before becoming
too ripe reserved for use before the
early crop comes

Aprons.

AS another sign of reversion on the
part of our girls to femininity there is
prophesied the return of the apron,
long banished to maids wardrobes and
to below stairs regions. Now it is COM
ing to the fore by degrees, and by the
time all indoor things are In full swing
it will be recognized part of every
woman's house uniform OF course it
will be an ornate affair, made of mate
rials expensive and dressy and with
everything possible done to 1t to relieve
it of its unitarian aspect. Though it
will have strings, no apron is complete
without strings for the tying up of va
rious persons that like to be held by
such means-Boston Transcript.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Pigs and Milk.

The question often arises, Would 1t
not be more profitable to buy pigs
than to raise them? 1t would be de-
cidedly an advantage If the supply
could be filled with any kind of GER
tainty and of quality that would give
full compensation for labor and feed
and the risk of buying infectious dis
eases could be eliminated. Is it not
true that whoever engages in animal
husbandry should become master
eventually both as breeder and feeder?
If it is essential to select good dairy
COW and sire, 1t is no less important
to select good breeding sows of robust
constitution, rustlers at the feeding
trough, prolific, docile (most of this
last depends on ourselves In humane
treatment, a good mother and mixer,
for like will produce like to greater
or less degree. But we are the model
ers of improvement, and when we de-
velop points by our own management
we have better guarantee that we can
perpetuate them. There must be of
necessity a system of breeding that
will insure supply of pigs of nearly
the same age for the different seasons
in order to have advantage of feeding
the byproducts to the young growing
pigs. There should be also proper
shelter for feeding and breeding, so as
to reduce labor, enhance comfort and
insure full compensation for food con
sumed. We of the northwest ever and
anon encounter zero weather and once
in awhile 40 degrees below. Clean
floors and troughs and dry beds are
as essential for sows and pigs as for
cows and calves. The hog is by ma
ture a cleanly animal and never other
wise except by force of his untidy
master.-Cor. National Stockman and

A TRUE HERO.
One of the Kind That Gets Little
Recognition Here Below.

One of the Kind That Gets Little
Recognition Here Below.
Did you ever know hero real well?
l know at least one and quite intimate
ly. Who? | am afraid you would hard
ly recognize his name, and besides 1t
would not be just right to give it here.
He is only an old bachelor who works
in a shop. I&e has been at one bench
for something like-well, from this you
may judge: When he began, he was
fresh from school. He lives In a little
frame house, with an absurd little
back yard hardly more than big enough
for the syringa bush and the ash bar
rel.
The first morning 1 started for the
shop" he once told me, Il cut across
the back yard and climbed the fence
| have been doing 1t ever since, and it
has been "A long time" In the tiny
lawn is worn a deep footpath. The top
rail of the back fence is smoothly pol
ished. His feet wore the path. His
hands polished the rail. And all these
years he has worked at the same
bench, doing the same work.
Not that he lacks intelligence or that
he never had an ambition. Intelligence
he most certainly has, no mean lore of
books and wide, generous grasp of
affairs and the drift of things. Ambi-
ton he had, too, but that was before
his feet had worn path across the
back yard. l am quite sure that he
once loved. In fact, l suspect that L
know the one he loved, and that she
loved him. But he never married. She
did, though she has been widowed for
a dozen years.
But why, you ask, with intelligence
and ambition, did he stick to his
bench? In an upper room Of his little
cottage is window blind which is
never opened. Behind that blind, peer
ing out through the shutters with un-
recognizing gaze, sits one who bears
the outward form of manhood, yet
lacks manhood's mental qualities. The
one behind the blind is his brother.
Downstairs, puttering feebly about and
speaking only in high, thin, querulous
tones, is a wan and bent old woman
his mother. For the sake of these two
lie has worn the path in the lawn; for
them he put away ambition; for them
he stifled the love that once stirred
within him.
lie is past middle age now, thin as to
hair, stopped as to shoulders. Yet is
there Il tenderness in his voice, cheer
full sweetness in his smile, a patient
resignation in his pale blue eyes, that
make his manner of such mild gentle
ness as you might expect in saint.
From him comes never a word of COM
plaint; about him is no trace of dis
appointment, no hint of bitterness
And so, though few know his name,
though he wears no glittering gauds,
though he goes his way unhampered
by pomp or circumstance and all un-
recognized by church or state, | can
not help but count him one Of earth's
true heroes. Don't you?-Sewell Ford

When the time comes for erecting a
monument to the pioneers in orchard
spraying, Mrs. Mary Deering of Or
leans county, n. Y, must not be for
gotten. This lady bought full outfit
over ten years ago and gave an object
lesson to many of her neighbors. Spray
ing is now about as common as plow-
ing on many farms, yet twelve years
ago the pioneers were trying to steer
through the rocks 1t is high time now
to begin to give the pioneers full credit,
and we shall see that Mrs. Deering has
her share.-Rural New Yorker.

An interesting suit was recently set
tied in the Maryland courts sustaining
the pure fertilizer law A firm sued
several farmers because the latter re-
fused to pay for fertilizer that had
fallen 90 per cent below the guaran-
teed analysis. The law provides that
the purchaser shall not be compelled
to pay for goods that are 20 per cent
below the guarantee, and the court rem
dered decision in favor of the farm
ers.

Ostrich Feathers Fashionable.

The picture hats are not complete
without ostrich plumes. They are gen
orally seen at their best in black or
black and white. The curtain effect
arrived at by lace or planting of black
velvet is getting less exaggerated, and
women are distinctly tired of the shep-
herdess shape, either large or small. In
reality it suits so few people and it
has become too universally adopted by
the multitude to be any longer consid-
cred worthy of attention by milliners.
