The Way Trees Grow Old.


Unless the date Of planting is known
tree can keep the secret of its age
as long as it lives. Only when it is
cut down and the rings that then show
on this cut surface are counted can it's
exact age be told, Especially when
tree is sawed down, leaving the stump
with a smooth, fat surface, is it easy
to count its years. Trees such as the
oak, chestnut, pine, etc, add thin
iaver Just under the rough outer bark
each year. These ayers harden into
tough woody fiber, and one after an-
other make the tIee bigger and bigger
around When the tree is Gu; down
thes, ,ayers show just as the layers in
am onion cut IN half As esch LAYER
counts for year, the age oftrees that
have grown straight and tall Is very
easy to determine, while in gnariei,
wini-twis;el trees the rings run into
each other and can scarcely be distin-
guisAei and thus some Of the famous
o,i ssntiue.s on the mountain tops
hide the secret OF their age forever.

layer by layer. the rough outside bark

Instead Of allowing the bees TO

SERVANT GIRL PROBLEM.
IL IL n subject in Which the House,
wives of Every Civilized Coun-
try Are Deeply Interested.

The servant girl question. while
settled" time and time again upon
paper, is still a very live issue among
those who are most vitality interested
the housewives of the country. In
America it is said that the lack OF
good help at reasonable wages Is the
cause for so many people living in Hats
and hotels, and there Is no immediate
prospect of a change in this direction,
a good domestic servants are becom-
ing more and more difficult to obtain.
In view of this fact, il is interesting TO
look at the question as it is handled in
other lands. Great Britain claims TO
be the best country in the world for
good servants. from both points of
view. \ leading English journal states
that "England's greatest industry is
domestic service"

CLEANING THE EGGS.
No Other Little job That Can He Done
Around the Farm Yields Better
Cash Results.

II is remarkable how many soiled
eggs may be seen in the country
stores and elsewhere Many make
no attempt to clean them and many
more do not know how to do it prop
erly when they make the attempt
Stained and smeary eggs hurt the
sale TO 4 marked degree, as it is not
only matter of tastefulness, but it
Civ the eggs a stale look.
Eggs all Of one color and perfect
ly clean make an attractive appeas-
ance and will readily bring several
cents more per dozen than a dirty
lot, particularly when quality goes
with appearance and the one is gen
orally an indication of the other. An
egg is improperly cleaned when il
is wet too much and not rubbed dry
with dry cloth. Some. when they
see spots of dirt on eggs put them
in a pan of water and wash them
like potatoes. There is. on the fresh
1y laid egg, n mucilaginous covering
which gives II velvety appearance
peculiar to new eggs. Water re-
moves this. making the egg have an
older appearance and destroying its
keeping qualities, as this covering
makes the she'll impervious to air.
An egg, then, if II is not much soiled
should merely be moistened where
necessary and rubbed dry. If the
blemish is in the nature of stain. a
little powdered securing brick will
help, and if this is not effective vine
gar may be used in addition. In this
way any stains may be removed from
an egg. Sometimes they have to be
put in water, but do not do il unless
il is necessary, and then rub dry
afterwards. If this is not done they
will look soiled and dingy. Eggs
should be collected twice or more
times day. Davis, in Ohio

GENUINE "WASH LADIES. 4"
How Two Chicago Sisters Who Had
to Earn Their own Living Made
Both Ends Meet.

Among the lucrative and very pri-
vate sources of income discovered by
breadwinning women none has proved
more interesting and profitable than
that of dainty laundry work. Two
women, sisters, who occupied tiny
apartment and found themselves sud
denly obliged to earn their own sup
port, discovered TO their dismay that
their only remarkable talent was
profound knowledge of the high art OF
clear starching, lace cleaning and fine
ironing. Even this accomplishment
didn't look exactly valuable until
well-to-do friend volunteered to send
them all the exceedingly fine laundry
work that their hands could Go and
their kitchen could accommodate. The
sisters agreed TO make the experiment,
and the first week from her oWE ward
robe and that of few interested init
mates the helpful friend sent them five
dozen very fine handkerchiefs,
dozen or two sets Of sheer lawn and
lace cuffs and collar bands. and set
of rarely beautiful doilies The laun-
dry ladies took the stock under con-
sideration, boiled. blued. starehed and
ironed the articles, and were sus-
prised at the profits of the weeks
work.
At the end of three months their
fame had spread far and fiatteringly
in aristocratie circles. Not only were
they overtaXed with orders, but they
were able to raise their prices and em
ploy couple of assistants to do the
heavy labor and boy with a push
cart 10 gather up and deliver the or
ders. With handkerchiefs, lace collars,
cuffs, doilies and small pieces of extra
fine underwear they also admitted
babies clothes until now their very
exclusive little establishment is
known best as the Babies Laundry
No expert French or Swiss cleaners
can starch or iron caps and bibs, pet
tlcoats and fine white dresses, as do
these two American spinsters, who are
now busy training a couple Of good
country girls to follow in their foot
steps and devote artistic thought and
care to the get-up of the dainty gar
ments.
These genuine wash ladies have now
been praeticing their new-fonnd pro-
fession for full year. They have dis
covered that it not only suffices 20
support them in comfort. but at pres
ent tempts them to expand their very
modest plant into larger quarters,
where they will be able to reap even
tually the really ample profits that are
waiting them in this purely feminine
enterprise.-Chieago Inter Ocean.

TREATMENT OF SCOURS.
BY Taking Timely Precautions Cons
siderable Loss Among tbe'Pigs
Can BE Avoided.

When little pigs get the scours. give
a heaped teaspoonful of copperas TO
the SOW IN her swill and feed a little
lighter. says Texas Stock Journal.
After the first day. if il is not cured,
give a second dose the following morn
ing. ! have never seen this fail where
given when pigs begin To scour, but
let the scours run on from three days
to a week and they will likely be be-
yond control. As the pigs get older
provide a place where they can get all
the shelled corn or ear corn they want,
clean ont all they leave every morning
and give TO older hogs. Give piggy
fresh corn. Sprinkle the floor where
little pigs eat with air-slacked lime oc-
casionally. As the pigs get a little
older and want swill mix the swill of
clean shorts a little oil meal. with
sweet milk and water. and add tea
spoonful Of limewater for each pig,
which should be increased to a table,
spoonful as the pigs get older. Feed
this when they get their corn. BE
sure their trouChs are kept clean. IL
they are accessible to the old SOW they
will not leave enough to sour. Con-
tinue limewater until the pigs are five
or six months old Feed nothing sour.
If milk should be the least bit sour or
tainted even. throw il away If YOU have
no fattening hogs to feed il to. The
pigs will easily get along without milk
for one feed. while the dose of sour
milk might set the pig back for
month or two. As to the limewater, it
is easily made by putting piece Of un-
Stacked lime in an earthen jar or
wooden pail. Put a chunk about the
size of quart cup in a two-gallon jar
and fill il with water. When lime is
all Stacked and water gets clear dip
off water and throw first away, refill,
and when this is clear dip off the scum.
when limewater will be ready. Don't
use any tin or iron vessel for limewa-
ter. You can keep filling and using cut
OF this month before YOU need to add
any lime. Don't rifle il or stir: only
use the clear water.

A Woman's Back.

Dublin, Mich. June 29th.-To the many
women VINO suffer with weak back and pains
and tired feelings in the small OF the back
the experience OF Mrs. Fred Chalker OF this
place will be interesting and profitable.
Mrs Chalker had suffered very great
deal with these back pains and although
she had tried many things she could find
nothing that would relieve her. The pain
kept on in spite OF all she could do.
At last she CHANGED to read the story of
another lady who had suffered with the
backache, and said she had been cured by a
remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills, and Mrs.
Chalker thought she would try the same
thing.
After the first two boxes had been taken
according to directions, she began to feel
some better, and she kept on till at last she
was cured.
Her pains are all gone, and she is very
grateful. She SAYS: "Dodd's Kidney Pills
helped me greatly. and | will always recon-
mend them as cure for Pain in the Back. -

FIRST Thing to Teach n Young Horse
LIS the Meaning of the Two
Words Go and Whoa

Breaking colts to harness and
work, care and patience are needed.
especially with those of a nervous
temperament. BY all means avoid
overloading them or working until
very tired, as these conditions have
more to do in making balky horses
than any other one thing. When
overloaded. or worked almost to the
limit of endurance. and colt once
stops of its own free will. il is la
bic to do so again. This usually en-
RACES the driver and he often uses
the whip or other severe means be-
fore the animal is rested, and trou-
BILE is the result
The ve.y first thing to teach
young horse is the meaning of the
two words 90 and whoa. The word
whoa should be taught first. as most
colts will 90 without much urging.
To have colt stop instantly at the
word is of the greatest importance.

as stop or stop Tony. or whoa boy
