The ideal farm home as we now re-

features and numerous conveniences
that in pioneer days We're 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 a
telephone connecting with all the
neighborhood and the towns and vii
lagos near. 1t can have a daily mail,
which it easily can have If the roads
are what they ought to be. 1t must
have shade trees. vines. shrubbery and

den. we'll stocked with the best varie-
ties and well tended. and it should be

most available and useful.

Rect Pu1D as Feed.

Seven thousand sheep and $50 steers
are on feed on the beet pulp at the
Fort Collins (ColoJ sugar refinery. The
company also sells the pulp at 30 cents
per ton, and the sheep eat between ten
and fifteen pounds of it each day,
while each steer tucks away from 100
to $50 pounds daily and often bawls
for more. The feeding is largely of
the experimental order as yet. The
officials say that they will import some
grain In order to finish the animals
properly before sending them to mar

Cost of Keeping a 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 at from
so cents to $1.50 year. 1t costs more
in the Northern States than in the
Southern States. 1t costs more If the
hens are confined than if they are al
lowed to run.

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 a most de-
sirable addition to crops for stock. The
culture of sorghum is extending. and
tests have proved that it's culture is
not confined to favored sections; but
that it can probably be grown with
success wherever corn can be grown.
The plant is drought-resisting it yields

Alice Maud was purchased about a
month ago from John Weidmayer, OF
Washington avenue. Parker says he
does not know how the young lady got
into the habit Of chewing tobacco. but
she certainly chews it, and likes it.
"All'the brands taste alike to Alice -
says Parker. II have not noticed any
inclination on the part of the horse to
smoke cigarettes as yet. Her taste
seems to run simply to chewing. The
habit does not seem to have had any
bad effect on Alice, as can be perceived
by her speed record"
Mr.. Parker laughingIy admitted that
he had been compelled to furnish his
stable with cuspido rs to accommodate
this habit of Alice Maud.

Two days after the Angora's de-

''Yes, so j understand, Mary, and ]
think puss win soon be with us again,

That night she wrote letter to the
friend who had taken the cat, saying:
"Send puss back, for think have
discovered the cat or cats for whose
acts she has been blamed"
Puss was brought back, says the
New York Times, and for a wonder
the servants don't like her as much
as they once did. She is not so well
come in the kitchen, but then she has
reformed. Her mistress furnished the
key to her reformation when she told
the story to a friend.
'You see" she said, "she has quit

that / would hold them responsible
for all the damage she did and would
take enough out Of their wages to
pay for the damage. Since that they
have watched her so closely that she
