The first artificial butter was "mar-
garine," made in Poissy, France, in
1859. 1t was made from the fat of the
loins and kidneys of cattle, which when
melted, is some times called "oleo oil, !"
This oil, tallow, lard, olive and cotton
seed oil are used, combined with dairy
butter, in making the various butter
ines. Cocoanut butter is largely used
in northern Europe.-[Ex.
Never leave an umbrella standing on
the poi MT in the ordinary way when
wet the water trickles down, spelling
the silk and making the wires rusty.
1t is also mistake to leave it standing
open, as this stretches the silk making
it baggy, 80 that it is impossible to fold
it smoothly. The proper way is to
shake out as much water as possible,
then stand the umbrella on its handle
to drain.
The corn planter is the poorest imple-
ment we have on the farm. It drops
the kernels of hill all together and has
no provision for scattering them out
If the three kernels of hill were drop
ped four or five inches apart
they would produce three fine large
ears, which would make 13S bushels per
acre, but when three plants grow from
the same spot or two of them will be
deformed and produce only small ears.

their residence at the White House,
! fawning society woman asked one of
! the younger boys if he didn't dislike
the common boys" whom he met at
the public schools. The little fellow
. looked at her in wonderment, and then
said: "My papa says that there are
only tall boys and short boys and bad
boys and good boys, and that's all the
kinds of boys there are."- Bradford

The Cross Fork News never guessed
nearer than when it said: "Strange,
isn't it, that the men who kicks on the
local newspaper are the ones who bor-
row it from their neighbors or who
owe several alyears' subscription? Those
who subscriber and pay are satisfied
but those who sponge it hardly get
their moneys worth. If you are not a
subscriber you are not supposed to know
what is in the paper or what is not in
it and you have no kick coming"
Ninety-nine times out Of a hundred
this will prove true.

fore April 15. Fine of violation is S25
1t further provides that no trout less
than six inches in length shall be taken
from any stream. Fish wardens say
the law requires them to examine

The enormous growth of the coffee
habit in this country is shown by the
fact that in 1902, for the first time in our
history, we imported more than 1000
900 pounds of coffee, at a bulk cost of
! more than $40, 100000 and probable re-
tail price to consumers of nearly three
times that sum. This would represent
