TWENTIETH CENTURY FOOLISH
NESS.

Why should people, as a rule, hest
tate and do without music in the home
and thereby keep their children and
themselves without the pleasure and
advantages of musical home and edu-
cation. Many of us are doing without
it simply because we tell ourselves we
haven't the money to put into a
piano all at once. What false way to
reason. You say, well it costs more, it
is true it does costs little more. But,
on the other hand you linger along year
after year, thinking all the time that
in the spring or fall of the year you will
have more money, and you may have,
then you will save $40 or SIS by paying
cash. Now, if two years ago you had
bought when you just thought of it, the
money you have spent anyway for mic
macs and is gone, would have paid for
the piano by this time, it would belong
to you and you would have just as
much money and there would have been
two precious years of study for the chill
dren and two happy years of music IN
the home all to save $40 in price, which
the instalment plan would have cost
you extra.
Pianos are totally unlike any other
commodity made under the heavens
thev are built on different lines and sold
on different lines because they are an
art product. In an art product there
is a combination of soul and body. The
soul being the tone and the body being
the case. In estimating the worth of
piano the same care should be taken
as when passing an estimate on the
character of friend. You certainly
would not form a new friendship unless
you know your friend in all his or her
spiritual aspects, would you? BY par
ity OF reasoning, you ought not to buy
a piano until you have become ac-
quainted with every phase of its con-
struction and know just what grade of a
tone 1t has. Did you ever look carefully
at an opal and note the exquisite rides
cent OF its color? Did you ever ex-
anime the perfectly cut diamond and
see how its prisms reflect the varied
hues of the spectrum? What the colors
are to the opal, and the prismatic effects
are to the diamond, the tone is to the
fine piano. No matter how extensively
set the stones may be if they have not
these qualities they are of no special
value to the buyer.
So it is with the piano. The tone
must be there to satisfy the buyer of
musical taste. No matter how elabor-
ate the case may be if it does not en-
close beautiful tone. it has no charm
for the musical connoiseur. The tone
is made impressive by an artistic case,
that is the instrument as a whole be-
comes more impressive, and the piano
then is an art production IN a double
sense, as musical instrument and as
piece OF artistic furniture fit TO adorn a

A Veterans story.

Bath, N. Y, April l3th-The first con.
sideration of the Commandant and Officers
in the conduct of the Soldiers and Sail
ors' Home here, is the health of the Vet,
Grams. Kidney Troubles are the most com.
mon cause of ailment, very few OF the old
men escaping these in some form or other
OF course the comrades do as much as
possible for themselves and one of the
most popular and useful remedies EN-
ployed is Dodd's Kidney Pills which seem
to be almost infallible in cases of Kidney
arrangements. Indeed, there are among
the veterans. several who claim to owe
their lives to Dodd's Kidney Pills.
For instance, A. E. Ayers, who came to
the home from Minneapolis, Mimi, was
given up by four doctors in that city. He
had Bright's Disease and never expected
to live through it. but his life was saved
and his health restored by Dodd's Kid
ney Pills.
His experience has made the remedy
very popular among the men and no one
who has used Dodd's Kidney Pills for any
Kidney Trouble has been disappointed.

TAUGHT BY EXPERIENCE.
As Long as Farmers Can't Control
the Market 1t Pays to Cater
to Popular Taste.

The merchant lays in such stock as
he knows his customers will buy. The
grocer makes his stock as attractive
as possible, and he knows what class
of customers he may expect when he
locates in any particular locality. In
fact, l do not know of any other class
of people who offer goods on the mar
ket without knowing what the market
is, except the farmers or more strictly
speaking, the farmers wife. l have
just been having little experience, and
you know it is experience that teaches.
A friend up in New England spent
all her spare time last summer raising
geese, and a big, fine flock she had when
it came time to market them. We were
all there when killing day came. The
geese were killed in the old way, by
cutting off the heads. They were then
brought in, dipped into boiler of hot
water, then rolled in a piece of car
peting to steam, and by the time they
were cool we picked. This process
makes picking very easy, and does not
injure the skin. These people pick
feathers and down all into one basket,
and offer it at the price of feathers.
I had bought down pillows in the cit
les, and of course recognized the value
of the down; so we instituted second
picking. The feathers can be taken off
first and put in basket by themselves,
then the down picked separately. 1t
is really the easier way to do the pick
ing. The down thus saved sells at a
much higher price than the selling
price of feathers. These geese were all
dipped in thin solution of starch wa
ter, which gives the skin very nice
appearance, and were then shipped to
one of our large cities. But here is
the point. In that particular market
customers prefer fowls with the heads
on. And here was boxful, over 300
pounds, all dressed alike, all dressed as
the market does not want them dressed,
and shipped at-well, at "any old time"
just when it happened to be convenient
to kill them.
These people, after putting whole
summers work into goose raising, did
not take paper in which they could
read market quotations; did not look
for market quotation to know where
to ship their geese, and did not stop to
inquire how best to prepare their ship
ment for the market. What would be-
come of commission merchant if he
were to do business so regardless of the
market? He would have to give up
business in short order. And I hate
to see the farmer or his wife lose the
full benefit of a years work in this way.

It must be apparent to every one that
qualities of the highest order are neces-
sary to enable the best of the products OF
modern commerce to attain permanently
to universal acceptance. However loudly
heralded, they may not hope for worldwide
prominence unless they meet with the
general approval not of individuals only,
but of the many who have the happy
faculty of selecting. enjoying and learn

becomes important to others, since to
meet the requirements of the well in
formed of all countries the method OF
manufacture must be of the most per-

excellent of its kind. The above is true
not of food products only, but is espe-
cially applicable to medicinal agents and
after nearly quarter of century or
growth and general use the excellent

accepted. throughout the world, as the
best of family laxatives. It's quality is
due not only to the excellence of the

Fat Mutton for Export.

An exchange reports Mr.. j. E. Wing,
of Ohio, as of the opinion that fat NUT
ton will be in demand for export.
"Sheep and lamb feeding is good
game to stick to, provided the feeder
raises his own feed. We raise lots of
alfalfa and feed in conjunction with
ear corn. Never shell the corn. At
least that is our experience, and it
has been profitable one. The thin
lambs are the ones to buy. The feeder
gets the growth with them and will
make money by not finishing them
too much. Send them to market on
the light side, if anything, is my policy.
When buying feeding lambs, be sure
to pick those with open, loose feeces.
They do better in the feed lot than
close-f1eeced stock"

The Destruction of weeds.

With the approach OF spring the per-
ennial problem of destroying weeds on
walks, drives, tennis courts and sim
liar places presents itself. About the
best method that has been devised is
to kill them with some effective solu-
ton having either an arsenic, sulphuric
acid, carbolic acid or sal-soda base.
Any one of these is effective, though
the arsenic mixtures, some of which
are offe-ed as commercial proprietary
solutions, are the most persistent in
their effects. For killing weeds in
lawns, where it is desired to grow use
full plants as promptly as possible after
the treatment, crude carbolic acid is
said to be most desirable, as it does
not permanently poison the soil.

HELPFUL FARM NOTES.

Potatoes need a rich, well pulvcr-
lied soil.
He who feeds his land well win be
well fed.
Hard work" on the farm is otter,
not good work"
This is the time of year when it
pays to use the low down wagon.
A farmer to succeed must do the
fair thing by his boys, his girls and
his stock
by many farmers about the right
quantity TO the acre.
Winter is the best time to poison
prairie dogs. Fall or spring the best
time to poison pocket gophers.
If clover is the only crop used in
rotation with corn, let it occupy the
land as many years as the corn.
If you have not yet gotten up a
good supply of wood, do not longer
nsglect it. Spring is close by and the
work will crowd.
The man who gets the most out of
his farm is he who puts in the most,
and mind and manure will count
more than mere muscle.
More care and less haste in get
ting in the oat crop would in many
cases improve the evenness of the
ripening and heaviness of yield.

Good, durable, practical gates at

ahead, and that would have put up ten
good gates.
The gate photographed was made
six or seven years ago, at the entrance
to the barnyard. We combined two
objects in this gate-strength and dur
ability, and lightness to handle. We
have deep SHOWS and snowdrifts, and
we hung the gate so that it could be
raised up to pass over the snow. The
gate is four feet long and four and a
half feet high. For the gate pieces we
used siX-inch Eastwood, well seasoned.
The ends and center strips are three
inches, made out of the same kind of
wood. The first, third and filth strips
from the bottom we allowed to project
out to hold the gate in place. In case
hogs are turned into the yard the bot
tom piece holds them from pushing and
straining the gate. The hangers are
of our own get-up and seem to answer
the purpose in every respect. In max
ing the hangers we use wagon tire two
inches wide and about two and half
feet long. The iron was heated and
bent in the shape of rub iron on a
wagon-box, only allowing two or more
inches in the side turn to permit the
gate to swing. The hangers are
fastened to the post with four-inch
wood screws. This gate has now been
in use several years and is as sound as
ever; we have another gate made of
Eastwood that has been constructed
over Is years and is in use to-day. By
all means build your gates of either
pine or basswood.-Leo c. Reynolds, in
