Authors and Their Pay.

The Literary Digest calls attention
to the fact that authors are better PAID
for their york now than in the earlier
days when we got all the best that is
In American literature. But only a
short time before his death Bayard
TAYLOR wrote to a friend:
Emerson is now seventy-four years
old. and his last volume is the only
enc which has approached a remunera'
tive sale. Bryant is in his eighty
third year, and he could not buy
modest house with all he ever received
in his life from bis poems. Washing
ton Irving was nearly seventy years
old before the sale of his works o.
home met the expenses of his sinlrl'
life at Sunnyside."
Longfellow at n time was glad Il
sell the best of mis- shorter poems fe1
s25. But at the present time we coult
:,ame a dozen or more poets, now writ
ing for the periodicals. who receive

Tho Modern Refrigerator.

The u%p-to-date housewife believes
most thoroughly in the doctrine Of
neatness and cleanliness and in having
things on view as much as possible.
The old fashioned icebox has given
way to the modern refrigerator made
Of tiles with heavy plate glass panels
in the doors SO that the contents OF
the shelves may be readily inspected
and kept in a wholesome condition at
the same time. The metal water cooler
that has been doing duty for several
generations has now been displaced
by an ice water receptacle Of glass.
THE glass cooler comes in two sizes,
the larger one being supplied with q
tin cylinder in the centre, so that the
filtered water shall not be contaminat-
ed by coming in contact With the Ice.
In the smaller receptacle the ice cylin-
der is of glass, but naturally more liza
BILE to become broken if not handled
with special care than the metal
holder.-New York Post.

Farm Notes.

The stables should give shelter,
warmth and ventilation.
Do not feed lambs on rape alone, but
aecustom them to it gradually when
fed with other fodder.
The barn and all the outbuildings
should be reached with dry feet even
In bad weather. Good paths are
needed.
II takes a horse over an hour to mas
ticate four pounds Of hay, half an hour
for whole oats, and only 10 minutes to
masticate ground feed.
Some cows give more milk and mill
that is richer If they are fed a little
while milking. It will pay to humoI
the whims of such cows.
Never give sour milk to the brood
SOW with q young litter of pigs. Te
do SO is to invite securing and ruin
the prospects of the litter.
The state veterinarian of Nebraska
saws it is unwise to ring the noses o.
hogs. If they have plenty of salt ant
ashes they will root very little.
An excess of corn in the diet of the
SOW and. also of the young pigs is ap
to produce scours The pigs should
have no corn until six weeks old.
When a hen learns to fly over |
fence she teaches the habit to tn,

served in the flying, secure her AMI

vent others from going over.

o double purpose. Galvanized iron
tanks made especially for this work
are so cheap and durable that any
other sort of tank is expensive. There
are several sheep dips in the market
which can be bought. They come / n
a concentrated form and should be
used according to The manufacturers
directions. Avoid dips which contain
lime and sulphur, as they are injurious
to the wool.
A convenient method Of dipping is to
have the tank set at the end of a mar
row lane or shute, leading out from
the sheep pen or barn. The lane may
be temporary where hurdles are avail
able. The tank for convenience
should be sunk a foot or more in the
ground. After the sheep have been
sheared, they (lambs included) are
driven through the lane, which should
be narrow enough to cause the sheep
to go single file, to the tank. AS they
are forced into the tank, q man, or
two if available, catches the sheep to
see that it becomes thoroughly soaked,
forces the head under for a sec
ond and then assists 1t in getting out
Of the tank. The sheep should re-
main in the dip long enough to thor
ough1y saturate the wool to the skin.
If a low-wheeled wagon with bed and
sideboarls on is at hand, it is a good
plan to back it up to the tank, allow
ing the sheep to come out of the tank
into the wagon, where they should
remain until the wagon is full. This
keeps them from shaking the dip of
for a little time, and is also about the
height Of the top of the tank, making
a good platform upon which to land.
Where sheep are regularly and thor
oughly dipped once a year there is
usually no need Of a second dipping;
but in case ticks are found on them
they should be dipped again in the fall
Just before cool weather. Dipping Is
not only a remedy for ticks and lice,
but is practiced as a cure and proven
tive of scab.-J. H. Skinner, in Orange
| Judd Farmer.

morning. The larger quantity OF rugs
come from the interior Of Asia, n are
brought down to the ports OF the Medl-ti
terranean and Black sea by caravans
Of camels and shipped to Smyrna and
Constantinople, which are the great
markets. They are packed so many
to the bale by sizes, and IL the pur-
chaser knows the name of the seller
and the place from which they have
been shipped, it gives him a slight
basis upon which he can Judge as to
their value, but 1t is always more or
less of a lottery, and hence the rugs
bring much less than their actual
value.

Lsanar Pork I'm Demand.

Real bacon has been SO little grown
n this country that the public are
,nly now getting familiar with it.
Until recently it was not far different
with our mutton, but in that line OF
meat production the change has been
marked during recent years.
The trend of change in the public
taste with other classes OF meat is al
together in the direction of leaner
meat. Because of this change, the
large, heavyweight steer of eighteen
hundred pounds has been set away
back In the markets of today. The
handy weight early maturing steer OF
1900 to 1900 pounds has taken his
place, and old fat Wethers weighing
1870 to 1870 pounds alive are now be-
ing superseded by the lamb under IL
/ months and weighing from 20 to 100
pounds. 1t would seem incredible to
he writer that public taste should
| change SO much in the direction OF
l~leaner beef and leaner mutton, and
That there should not follow a CORE
Isponding change in the same, in the
line of leaner pork-that is to say, in
The line of pork that is more OF the
bacon type.
A certain Iowa packer of pork pur-
chased last autumn at least three a r
loads Of large improved Yorkshire
swine. These were taken down into
Central Iowa-that is to say, into the
very heart of the corr belt. They
were not taken, there for purposes or
slaughter, but for breeding uses. The
males were chiefly intended for being
crossed upon the types OF sows al
ready In that country. The purchaser
told the writer that his object was to
Induce the farmer from whom his sup
plies were obtained to grow swine that
were more of the bacon type. He
wished such animals, he said, because,
all in all, they suited his trade better
than the other types of swine, such as
he had been purchasing.
When the average farmer OF today
kills swine for ais own use, which type
Inf animal does he prefer? Does ne
not pass by the large, heavily laden
hog and choose such as are lighter and
not so highly finished? II the taste OF
the farmer himself Is veering in the
direction of meat more nearly resem
bling the bacon types. why should
not the taste of the customer foi
whom he grows 1t veer in the same
direction Thomas Shaw

Every man who is long on vanity is
short on common sense.
A weak mar may be shamed out OF
anything except his weakness.
Gossips are people who go around
stabbing regulations in the back.
There is something wrong with the
man who doesn't secretly love praise.
Without the sense Of humor no mar

Few men ever reach the point where
they are liable to look down on them

Sulphur as a Disinfec,ant.

Sulphur burnt in the poultry house
will dispel foul odors, and thoroughly
~disinfect the disease breeding germs.
1t is not difficult to do, and requires
only q few minutes time once every
month. One of the simplest ways Is
TO heat an old shovel until red and
sprinkle a few tablespoonful Of pow
aered sulphur on it. Close the doors
Of the house at once, and be careful
that no fowls are concealed therein,
as the fumes mean certain death for
them.
Let the door remain closed for an
hour. then open and let the house have
ventilation. Carbolic acid is also one
Of the best d~isinfectants, and may be
ournt like sulphur, but If sprayed over
The roosts and walls, 1t W the
purpose equally well.

Wall Paper Designs.

MORE effects are to be seen in some
Of the new wall papers. These are in
solid colors and have as a rule flower
borders, which are rather narrow. One
yellow paper has a narrow border OF
yellow in f~estoons. In each point
where the drapery effect Is caught up
there are a few roses.
Three strips Of the paper make up a
landscape in the wall coverings, with
scenic effects. Some Of these have
tropical views, tropical plants, and bril-
liantly feathered birds.-New York
