HAYSEEDS AND RUBES.
Statistics show That the Amcrioa n
Farmer Could Easily buy His
Arrogant City Cousin.

Urban has always looked down on
suburban. Inhabitants of the cities
have ever smiled on dwellers in the
country and laid uncomplimentary
stress on their appearance, manners
and lack of culture-according to city
measure.
Once heather" was only dweller
on the heath-one who lived outside of
a city. These "heathens" have ever
since been considered fit subjects for
ridicule and proper objects for the
cunning wiles of the city dweller.
The city smiles at the country, and
grins when it talks about "Rubes,"
lays" "hayseeds,' - "the bush," wild
and woolly west" and other terms
that signify some sort of
The grin often breaks into laugh
at the expense of the "heathen," with
out the city man going through the
mental effort to inquire what he is
laughing about.
James Wilson, secretary of the de-
partment of agriculture, has compiled
some very interesting figures about
the Jays" and ehayseeds" which may
furnish the proud city man with few
reasons for his smiles and grins and
laughs when he contemplates his coun-
try cousins.
He has shown who "Rube" is, the
place he occupies in the nation and his
position as compared with his dis
tant" relatives, Reggie" and "Chollie," :"
in the city.
Mr.. Wilson's figures for 1900 show
that there were 4O,OOO,OOO "Rubes" in
the United States; actually, that more
than one-half of the population of this
great country is residing on farms.
Think of that, Mr.. Citydweller.
Then he tells us that the lays" have a
capital of 5000, 900 invested in ag-
riculture, which is four times as much
as is invested in manufactures. Now,

town. and having a. roaring spree" on
65 cents, when you spend $11 for a din
ner, and give the professional beggar
who waits on you a dollar.
"Rube" could buy you, even at your
own estimated value, if he was foolish
enough to do so, and was looking after
"gold bricks"
If you want to know what "Rube' is
in politics, consider the rural vote.
Laugh at "Kube" if it pleases you, for
he can stand it.-St. Louis Republic.

ECONOMICAL HOG HOUSE.

portunity to sort the pigs up and get
them where it may be the most con-
venient, for the time being, to have
them and place them in condition to
be much more healthy and thrifty. In
case of an outbreak of disease these

We present herewith a cut of a house
that is simple in construction and
economical in the use of material. The
house is made eight feet long by six
feet wide, so that 16 foot drop-siding

without waste for the roof and leave
good projections. 1t is five feet high

contains two four pane sashes
filled with 10X12 glass. The door is
two feet four inches high by 20 inches
wide. Some advocate hanging an old
sack over the opening, for door, but
we much prefer a solid door that can be
fastened securely and tightly when oc-
casion requires. Three pieces of two
by four placed on edge, beveled at the
ends and running lengthwise of the
house, serve as supports for the floor,
and as runners on which the house is
moved from place to place. Holes can
be bored in the ends of the outside run.

PRACTICAL HOG HOUSES.
Building Special Shelte rs forth e Pigs
Is an Inveatment That Pays
Handsome Profits.

A few small houses that any farmer
should be able to build and which cost
little for lumber are much better than
the large and more expensive house.
In the large house it is very difficult
to avoid drafts of cold air over the
hogs, which are very bad, especially
for the little pigs. The stone base
ment, with poor ventilation, and with
dampness added to the cold air drafts,
is the form most to be avoided if you
would save any of your pigs. Tho

shelter for four or five medium sized
hogs, that can be converted into a
single narrowing pen, and can a little
later be moved to any pasture lot de-

after standing for Il day or so, with
occasional STRINGS with a wooden
ladle, so as not to tear the burlap, draw
off the brine. To be sure that the
water has dissolved all the salt that it
will, it is well to filter the brine through
the salt in the tank several times. In

come in contact with every roll of

When cattle chew leather, wood or
old bones, it indicates lack of phos-
phate of lime in their food, which is
required to lpply bone material. A
teaspoonful of bone meal, given daily
with their grain will correct the habit
and supply the deficiency which in
duces it. If the disposition to eat
bones is indulged in when cows are
in grass, the deficiency then evidently
exists in the soil, and the pasture will
be greatly benefited by Il top dress
ing of bone dust. Two or three hun
dred pounds to the acre, sown broad
cast, will repay attending expenses
in better yield, and in quality of milk
and butter.-Midland Farmer.

Turnips and carrots make excellent
winter food. For cattle they should
be sliced with a root slicer, which does
the work very rapidly. Even poultry
can consume such foods when the
materials are sliced. The way to pre-
pare sliced roots is to sprinkle corn
meal and bran over the mess and give
it to the cattle or fowls at least once
day. The advantages are that such
foods are succulent, easily digested and
they afford change from the usual
dry rations. Ensilage should also be
given if there is supply on hand, but
the root crops will be found excellent,
no matter what the other foods may
be.-Troy IN. " Times.

AT the time of the publication of this vol.

viewing it, and we are pleased to note the
general appreciation of "Lionel Ardon" by

ance with English history by means OF a
story delicately conceived and very inter.

well drawn and the imaginary ones are true

novel to utilize the beautiful face and char.
acter of Lady Jane Grey and she makes a
very attractive part of the story Lionel
Ardon from boyhood to manhood plays
worthily the hero's part. The book is very

HOW TO PICKLE BUTTER.
A Good and Simple Method Suggested
by a Successful Pacific Coast
Dairymnn.

In picking butter, the brine should
be made as strong as possible; that is,
all the salt the water will take. After
putting the salt into the water, it is
well to let it stand for day. Then
draw off the water through cloth so
as to remove all sediment from the
brine.
A good and simple method suggested
by w. H. Housed, of San Francisco,
is to tack few thicknesses of burlap
