WOOD FOR THE STOVE.
Many a Tired Farm wife Is Com.
PEELED to Do Her Cooking Under
Trying Conditions.

Nothing is more exasperating to a
woman than burning wet, soggy
wood. On cold morning to have
the house filed with smoke instead
Of heat sets all things wrong. Then
many q loaf of bread is indigestible
and unwholesome because the wood
was green and wouldn't enable the
cook to control the heat of the oven,
giving too slow fire, and then,
when not required, too hot a fire.
These are phases of burning green
wood with which the most of the
farmers wives are only too IA
miliar.
Green wood is so per cent, heavier
than dry wood because of the excess
of moisture. This of course increases
the expense, OF hauling, If green
rather than dry wood is used, for
only half as much of the green wood
can be hauled on a load as OF dry
wood. Don't argue that the horses,
boys and yourself are not very busy
and your time and labor don't count,
Such logic added to rooms filed
with smoke Is what will leave you in
old age alone on the farm. Time
and muscles are many times the
farmers only capital and should
never be unwisely expended.
Then, aside from increased expense
in hauling, so per cent. of the heat
is consumed in eyaporating the wa.
ter in the green wood. Now figure
how much more swinging Of the ak
is necessary if you have provided
green wood for fuel this winter. It
takes good business push and q
knowledge Of farm economics to cut
wood and cord it up to dry out for
another seasons use. This is an
other evidence that energy and
knowledge are as large factors in
success on the farm as in other lines.

Pure Toe ON the Farm.

The farmer who has a good we'll
and windmill, should not depend on a
creek OF pond filled from water
drained off the surface of the
ground. This can never be perfect
ly pure and is liable to be source
of danger. Water is never purified
by freezing. 1t will require but lit
tie labor to scoop out depression
with surface enough to furnish ice
for the average farm family, and the
satisfaction of having pure ice is
more than fecompense for the la
Dor inyolyed.-GFarm Journal. Ia

Words Of Patriotism

" UST now, when the birthday of the
illustrious Washington is about to
Nv be celebrated everywhere, the fol.
lowing words from. his farewell address,
made public over century ago, will be APP
propriate:
BE united. Be Americans The name
which belongs to you, in your national ca
pacty, must exalt the just pride of patri-
otism more than any speculation derived
frem local Determinations. Let there be
no sectionalism, no north, south, east OF
west; you are all dependent one on another,
and should be one in union. Beware of at.
tacks, open or covert, on the constitution.
Beware of the baneful effects Of party spirit
and of the ruin to WHICH its extremes must
lead, DO not encourage party spirit, but
use every effort to mitigate and assuage it.
Keep the departments of government sep.
arate, promote education, cherish the puh=
lie credit, avoid debt. Observe justice and
good faith toward all nations; have neither
passionate hatreds nor passionate attach=
ments to any; and be Independent political.

MOVABLE WATERING TUB.
Up-to-Date Device That VIII Last for
Years and Can BE Used for
Many Purposes.

The accompanying cut shows very
convenient trough for watering or
feeding cattle in the barn. 1t can be
made any size desired, but the most
serviceable size is about 4x1H feet.
The sides should be built slanting as
shown, for then it is easy for the stock
to eat out of it, and it can also be more
readily cleaned. 1t is also covenient to
water cattle with in winter. Provided
the managers are composed of nothing
more complicated than the bare floor,

WATERING TUB ON WHEELS.

as I have seen in many barns, the
trough, filed with water, can be rolled
in front of the COWS, and from one cow
to another. Where running water is
available, it can be let run into the
tub and speedily rolled to the animals,
With wheels made of hard wood, the
device will last for years, and, aside
from watering the stock, can be used
for variety of other purposes about
the barn, saving labor and adding TO
the proft,-Fred. Q. sibley, in Ohio

"All we'll all happy lots

report from the monkey cage

the keepers began dosing the
monkeys with SCOTS Emul-

This suggested the idea that it
might do them good. Since

MAsTERFUL sELFIsHNEss.
Promoters of the Ship Subsidy Bill
Are Acting for Their Own
Exclusive Benefit,

All manner of crafty special pleading
is being practiced by the promoters
of thesship-subsidy bill to create the
impression in the public mind that the
proposed subsidy payments will con-
stitute wise and honest use of tax
payers money for the purpose of ups
building the American merchant ma
rine and increasing general prosperity.
The promoters in question, whose in
fuence is powerful in Washington, are
a group of multimillionaires directly
interested in certain great shipping
corporations already enjoying a vir-
tual monopoly of the field in which
they do business. They are men who
have never in their lives been noted
for a special regard for the general
welfare. They have looked out for
nal success. a masterful selfishness
has been the basis of their rise to
power, states the ST. Louis Republic.
Not to save their lives can these
promoters of the ship-subsidy bill
show how or where that measure will
encourage general shipbujlding, ship
owning or engagement in the ocean
freight-carrying business. Not to
save their lives can they conceal the
plain truth that. the ship-subsidy bill
will operate for the exclusive benefit
of their own corporations. The intent,
purpose and certain effect of the bill
are as plain as day. And yet that meas
ure proposes to place upon the Ameri-
can people an additional burden of
millions of dollars annually for an un-
limited term of years, this tremendous
tax burden going in the form of SUB
sides to the corporations whose rep
resentatiyes are working for the pas
sage of-the sflip-sIbsidy bill.
The Fifty-seventh congress will in
all probability enact this evil meas
ure into Jaw. This action cannot be
prevented. But the American people
can hold to a severe accounting the
party responsible for such legislation.
The truth concerning this measure CON
stitutes terrible arraignment of the
republican majority in congress. The
American people know the truth. The
consequent accounting in the congress
stonal campaigns of this year and in
the presidential campaign of 1904
should result in the removal of the re-
publican party from power in the GOV
eminent.
