Korean See-saW.

Korean girls are fond of playing at
see-saw. A bag full of sand about a
foot in thickness is placed on the
ground. Across this is placed plank,
and stretched alongside at proper
height for the children to grasp and
steady themselves by is a rope. The
young Koreans do not sit down, as
English or American girls would do,
but stand erect on the ends of the
plank. One gives an upward spring,
and as she alights on the board gives
the other a skyward toss, who as she
alights in turn throws the first girl a
little higher. And so the sport goes
on until in their upward flight each girl
is thrown two or three feet into The air
Frequent rests are necessary, but the
pastime is the occasion of much mer-
riment.

ADVANTAGE OF FARM ACCOUNTS
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.


Farming is a business which must
be conducted on economical lines to
make it profitable No man can ex-
pect to succeed by going at his work
in haphazard manner. Ee must first
count the cost and Their reckon on the
probable income. 1t does not pay to
keep COW on the farm if she returns
no profit on the investment. The
crop that costs more TO produce than
the market will bring is a dctriment
to good agriculture. 1t is p duty that
every farmer owes to himself, his fam
lily and the state that ne make his
farm a paying proposition. Keeping
accounts in some form is one Of the
best safeguards against engaging in
an Improbable enterprise. II is not
necessary that every man be book
keeper or skilled in the art of manipu-
lating figures. Any one can count the
cost of blowing, seed and seeding,
cultivating and harvesting of a crop
One man gives his experience in
this way: Before he started TO keep
account of the doings on the farm he
grew Improbable crops and was al
ways in debt With the adoption of
the new system little mixed farm Of
81 acres brought an income of about
$4,000 per year. The income was
from grapes. apples, peaches, pears
and Strawberries, hogs, poultry. cat
tie, sheep and the dairy. He raised a
few acres of corn, had good alfalfa
field sold some seed and fed the hay
He kept the best machinery and had
q house in which to store it when not
in use. In farming, as in all other
business, system and order pay best

A Singular people.

New York Globe.-The western mind
firds it difficult to understand the Jap
anese temperament. There is such
mixture Of modernity and medieval
ism, such combination OF the Occident
and the Orient, such an INTERVENING of
superstition and science, that 1t is not
easy for us to unravel its qualities
The Japanese are able to unite enthusi-
asm with quiet behavior, impetuous-
ness with a high degree Of craft, the
most ardent militarism with a spirit
which leads To giving war vessels the
names of flowers Probably no other
people in the world is at once so war
like and so pacific, so masculine and so
feminine, so childlike and so mature so
fierce and SO polite. What to us seem
the most contradictory traits exist side
by side. Our occidental imaginations
thus find It practically impossible eth.
er to analyze or to synthesize the JAP
anese, although forced to recognize the
formidableness Of the resultant of the
national traits.

When cows are in the pasture, cold
raw winds or rain will cause the same
results. When COWS in heat are al
lowed to run in pasture and the whole
herd are in a commotion all day, the
result will be the same When they
are brought from the pasture by a
good sharp dog and they have had a
running race, the result will be the
same.
In fact, with any unusual thing that
may come up among a herd of COWS,
away goes the fat test And when
that happens, We hear it condemned
on all sides. Because of the liability
of these things happening often in
any diary. it is decidedly best to
make composite tests from twice to
three times each month. This would
insure more uniform test. Expert.
ence for several years has proved that
composite samples, properly cared for,
are perfectly safe and will come
very much nearer an average for the
season than samples taken fresh two
or three days of any month, We are
aware that it is hard for many of the
dairymen to believe these things, but
they are true. none the less, and any
one by experimenting can prove them.

MUSIC IN HIS ANKLE.
Evanston Motorman lie the Only Ono
Playing Time on Trolley Gong.

Music is trolley car gong?
Yes, there is, provided you know
how to get tune out of one.
The only man in Chicago's big sys-
TEN who knows how to accomplish
this is George Merriman, who handles
the controller on run on the Chicago
and Milwaukee electric line between
Evanston and Waukegan.
Merriman says no other man need
undertake to play the gong unless he
lives in Evanston. 1t all comes from
living in cultured community, such as
the college town the world over is
known to be-
Merrlmnn Is possessed of an ankle
movement the like of which probably
has not been acquired anywhere in
this country. II is safe to say that
no devotee OF physical culture has
ever been able to produce the willow,
twist of Merriman's right foot. No
sooner does he leave the depot at
Evanston than he commences to play
on the brass instrument underneath
the forward platform of the car.
From plain ding-i-ling-dum, with
which he starts his music. the air is
made to reyerberate with a series OF
variations that would render
"Hiawatha" or "whistling Rufus"
tame indeed.
II doesn't matter how fast he is
speeding the car through the northern
suburbs, he keeps on wiggling his
ankle and toe and whoever hears it
knows that Merrman Is on the car
The conductors claim that he has
tune for the different towns, SO that
when Winnetka people hear par
ticular air on the gong, they know
that they are nearing their destina-
tion. This-come in handy on dark

CULTIVATION OF pANpELloNs.

Saturday Evening Post.-The cult,
walton of dandelions for market is be-
coming an important industry in New
England, where considerable areas
are at present devoted to raising them
as garden vegetable. They yield, il
is said, handsome profit at so cents
a bushel, though frequently they fetch
a much higher price. OF course only
the leaves are eaten, and these are
handled much in the same way as
spinach. Some of the dandelion grow
ers in that part of the country have
learned how to blanch the leaves like
celery by covering them with bouehs
OF boards. This plan has been pur
sued for long time in Europe, where
greens" of the kind are highly es-
teemed for salad. When they are
blanched they make much better
salad, the process modifying their bit.
ter taste and rendering them more
tender.
In the old world dandelions, from
very early times. have been supposed
to possess medicinal value. SO far as
is now known they are no more bene
fetal in this respect than other greer
vegetables. all of which are health
giving foods. Like other such vegeta
hles, dandelion greens are over 80 pei
cent water, and so do not contribut,
very much to the actual nourishmen
Of the body. There are several recog
nized varieties in cultivation, notable
among which are the French garden
and the improved thick--leaved. The
seeds are sown in early spring II
shallow drills, and in the following
| spring the leaves are fit to eat
Much damage is done by womer
and children who in the springtime in
wade roadsides ana the sunny slopes
of parks and private grounds, for the
purpose of gathering dandelion
greens. They cut off each plant just
below the surface of the soil, and one
might suppose that the process would
discourage the growth. But as a mat
ter of fact, every top thus cut off
sends up from two to half a dozen
new crowns, to the great injury of the
lawn.
