A Task for the Cook

A good story Is told of certain man
who had suddenly become rich whose
desire TO ''show himself Off" was only
exceeded by his ignorance. At dinner
one day one OF his guests, a well-known
literary Clergyman, said:
IL dined at KS, and he gave us q
capital epigram at dessert"
The new rich" was Inundated. He
had no eplgram. After his guests were
gone he called his cook.
Didn't give you carty blanchy for
this dlnnerT he demanded.
"Yes, sir-you did, SIR" replied the
cook.
and didn't tell you to have every
thing that anybody had?"
Yes, sr--you did, sir"
Eyes. Well, now 1t seems that at KS
they have epigrams ut dessert. and
good ones, too. and folk miss EN- when
they come here. Now. you'll have to
serve up epigrams, and, what's more
cook 'em better than any one else"

The Ideal Farm Home.

Forty years 1go this subject would
have meant something quite different
from what It does at present. says In
diana Farmer. Then plain frame
building, with plastered walls and n
brick chimney would have seemed a
great advance oil the double log cabin,
with It's stick and mud chimney at
either end, the well sweep In the yard,
chickens r0ostng in the trees or in
the front yard was not deemed out of
place in early days. and shade trees,
shrubbery and flower beds were ex.
ceptional, II not unknown.
The ideal farm home as we now re-
gard 1t, must have many ornamental
features and numerous convenlences
that in pioneer days were unthought
of. AS to eXternals our first thought
Is regarding walks and drives. They
should be dry and clean. Mud should
not be tracked into the house. and to
prevent this gravel should be used
freely, not only to make walks to
barnyards and outhouses. but to build
drives from the road In front to the
wagon shed In the rear. A shed or
covered way ought to extend from a
side porch Of the house to the drive so
the ladies can enter or depart from the
carriage dry shod. 1t must have q
telephone connecting with all the
neighborhood and the towns and vii
lagos near. 1t can have a daily mail,
which 1t easily can have If the roads
are what they ought to be. 1t must
have shade trees, vines. shrubbery aud
flowers in the bluegrass lawn, and a
small fruit as well as vegetable gar
den, well stocked with the best vare.
ties and well tended, and 1t should be
convenient to the kitchen, so as to be

TO this question the sheep raiser on

answer yes, and the man on high price
land no. 1t would seem as il some
thing was wrong with this state of af-
fairs. Year by year the raising or
sheep In large numbers changes from
the high price farm to the one where
land is cheap. 1t may be true that In
the East where farms are held Mt
prices more than double that asked for
land In sections of the West. farmers
can not afford to raise sheep. yet why
notf In any section where sheep can
be raised without the winter season
OF feeding being too long sheep should
be raised with profit regardless OF the

"Well," said the doctor. ''in the town

hair-breadth escapes, and hard-fought

which caused much amusement. It
was about being wounded in the shout

had an attack Of rheumatism he called

That Is n gratifying discovery which
President Eliot has made with regard
to the effect Of success or failure in
athletic sports on the number of stu
dents enrolled at Harvard. 1t appears
that this effect, one way or the other,
is so small as to be negligible. Har-
ward victories do not mean an increase
In attendance. Harvard defeats do not
mean a decrease. Young men seem to
go to Harvard for reasons quite apart
from the strength or the weakness of
last years crew or team. Here Is a
lesson that certain other colleges might
lay to heart 1t has been In many
places a theory implicitly sanctioned, II
not openly avowed, that athletics must
be rostered In order to spread the fame
of the university and attract students
to its doors. A good football team has
been held to be one of the necessary
features Of successful institution OF
learning. Hence the efforts of the fac
ulty as well as Of the students to get
good team together. Hence the strug.
gle between rival colleges to secure
the services of the best players from
the preparatory schools. Hence the
bringing In of biacksmiths and brake.
men to stay In college till the end of the
football season. Hence the resort to
every kind of questionable method In
the frantic attempt to win. 1t has been
winning, not playing, that has been
uppermOst In the minds OF coaches,
managers and students. A defeat for
the team has been regarded as blow
to the college. This exaggerated notion
of the value Of athletics has done great
harm. 1t 10 well that students should
take exercise. 1t Is not SO well that
their taking of exercise should develop

Growing Sorghum for Stock.

The failure of the corn crop last year
will induce farmers to plant more or
less of other things the coming season.
Alfalfa, millet sorghum and speltz
will all be tried, and in some localities
one or more will be found most de-
sirable addition to crops for stock. The
culture of sorghum is extending, and
tests have proved that Its culture Is
not confined to favored sections, but
that II can probably be grown with
success wherever corn can be grown.
The plant Is drought-resisting 1t yields
heavily and the stalks, II properly
cured, are eaten and relished by all
farm stock. The main trouble expert
enced with sorghum Is in the curing

as corn, but 1t Ia best cured under

of cures greater than all other medicines.
Its sales arc larger than those of any other
proprietary medicine and ten times greater

Cost of Keeninrn Hen.

There is considerable difference of
opinion as to how much it costs to keep
hen. The cost depends upon the hens
ability to forage. 1t is a saving and
clear gain to convert refuse into eggs
and meat. The cost of keeping hen
has been variously estimated ut from
30 cents to $3.50 year. 1t costs more
in the Northern States than in the
Southern States. II costs more II the
hens are confined than II they are al
