Old Things Passed Away.

Among the things one never sees
in an artistic house are plush table
covers and satin hangings. These.
with throws, marble topped tables
and marble mantelpieces, are strict

have marble mantels which their
owners think, and rightly, are too
handsome to remove or conceal.

Half an hour later the doorbell rang,
and as Thomas went along the hall,
Mr.. Abbott pulled the afghan more
smoothly over his foot, saying half
aloud:
THANK heaven, 1 need not spend the
afternoon alone"
He looked eXpectantly towards the
door as Thomas pushed it open, say
ing, "a young lady to see you, sir"
and to his surprise, child, hatless,
and with faltering steps entered the
room.
Thomas, what do you mean by
this?" he asked sharply. IF you call
this joke it is a very poor one"
He was hurt, and a sharp pang went
through his heart. Those brown eyes
brought his Ethel back to him. What
right had another child with brown
eyes? and what
Thomas, a very red Thomas, was
about to explain, when the child spoke:
Il came house-huntin', she said
simply, but" And a little sob
rose in her throat-"if you're cross,
I'll go away"
Mr.. Abbott looked at her in some
surprise.
"Who are you, child?Ahe asked.
But instead of answering, the tired
little creature suddenly covered her
face with her hands and burst into
| tears.
Come here" said the invalid, kind
ly, and he put out his hand and caught
her dress. "Who are you, and why
did you come house-hunting? Won't
you tell me all about it?"
Thomas quietly withdrew and closed
the door, but as he moved to and frC

Rheumatism in Hogs.

1t is hard to say what causes rheu-
matism among hogs, although it may
be generally found that they have oc-
cupied damp quarters at some time
during their growing period. Medl-
cine may or may not do them good.
but it is safest not to fool with drugs.
The better plan is to let them have all
the charcoal and wood ashes they will
eat, supply them with clean, dry bed
ding, and tempt them to exercise by
turning them out on a good range
where the grass is thick and fresh.
All corn should be taken from them
during the summer and the feeding
of grain should be confined to mid
dlings or bran, with more or less clean
slop in which vegetables are literally
placed. Clean water for drinking may
be supplied, but no inducement offer
ed the animals to root or to wallow.
Swine suffering from rheumatism
should be kept in lot by them
selves and be given special care.

DOLLYS HOUSE HUNTING
oHEY'LL have to go house-hunt-
ing, now, and that's all there is

@S SHEY'LL have to go house-hunt-
ing, now, and that's all there is
to it." said Mrs. Flynn, decided
ly, as she opened the new lodger's
door, and prepared to sweep the room.
The new lodger, a worn young wom-
an, had passed away four days ago,
and had left baby girl of four years,
but, unhappily, no money with which
to care for it. 1t was this fact that
called forth remark quoted above from
tall, stern Mrs. Flynn.
Dolly, the lodger's little girl, was
kneeling on a broken chair gazing wist-
fully out of the dusty window. Spot,
her dog, and only companion, was
curled up on the floor asleep.
"Yes, they'll have to go house-hunt-
ing for sure" repeated Mrs. Flynn. Il
haven't nothin' to keep the dog on,
much less the child" Dolly looked up,
hearing the words. "Come, run out
with your dog while l sweep" said the
landlady, speaking to the child, who
slipped to the floor. you can't go into
the kitchen cause Mary's washin' and
she'll bite your head off, like as not,
and you can't go into the parlor with
that there dog. Sit yourself down on
the stairs till I'm through. Run,
now"
Dolly trudged patiently down the
narrow winding stairs, and Spot pat
tered beside her.
"Lool out for the torn place in the
carpet, Dolly" she murmured to her
self, repeating the phrase so often on
mothers lips.
As she paused on the second land
ing a long mirror caught her eyes
through the half-open door, and, en-
tering the room, she went close to the
glass.
"You s'pose we look good 'nough to
90 house-huntin', Spot?" she asked af.
fer surveying the chubby little figure
for n few moments. you s'pose we
dop Mamma dressed me up when we
canned here, Spot, but | can't dress you
I'M cause you're only dog. But wei
90 house-huntin' just the same"
The two little friends continued theil
slow Journey down stairs, and to Dol
ly's great delight the front door was
omen. Mary stood on the steps witt
her sleeves rolled up, talking to the
postman.
"P'raps she won't see u.s." mur
INJURED the little girl, doubtfully
"Cause I've got to go."

Preserving Fence Posts.

The well-known methods of preserv-
ing fence posts and wood, which are
partly embedded in the earth, are only
effective when both the charring and
tarring are applied. Should the posts
only be charred, the charcoal forma-
ton on the surface would act as an alb
sorber of the moisture, and, if any
thing, only hasten the decay. BY ap-
plying coating Of tar, without pre-
vious charring, the tar would only
form casing about the wood, and
would not penetrate to the depth
which the absorbing properties of the
charcoaled surface would insure. Wood
that is exposed to the action Of water
or let into the ground, should first be
charred, and then, before it has entire
ly cooled, be treated with tar till the
wood is thoroughly impregnated. The
acetic acid and oils contained in the
tar are evaporated by the heat and
only the resin is left behind. This pen
etrates the pores of the wood and
forms an air-tight and waterproof en-
velope. 1t is important to impregnate
the wood little above the line Of ex-
posure.

Poultry Pickings.

Whole corn Is the best feed at night
Kerosene the roost all over every
week.
Hot tar is a good remedy for red
mites.
Poultry for the plum trees and swine
for the apple orchard.
Give less corn and more oats; less
corn meal and more bran.
Make the hens scratch for a living
by scattering their grain among litter.
Do not undertake to run things econ
olnically by starving the young poultry.
When geese have plenty Of room
they do best when allowed to forage
and secure their own food.
One advantage in the use of dry
dirt for the dust boxes Is that it also
prevents lice.
If the hens are given plenty CT dry
dirt they will dust frequently and re-
move lice from their bodies.
Eggs cannot be secured Wen they
are highest unless the poultry be made
comfortable and fed properly.
Ducklings, If exposed to wet wealth
er or even wet ground, are apt to take
cramps in their legs, and usually die.
DO not attempt to keep too many
fowls together. Small fiocks, carefully
tended, will give much better results.
In building the poultry house, have
it so constructed that the fowls may
have the benefit of ali of tie sunlight
poSSble.

Jams in American Army.

1t may not be generally known that
the United States army of the future
will include a command of Japanese
soldiers, but this is fact. They will
not come from the armies which are
fighting in the far east, but will be
enrolled from our Japanese citizens
in the Sandwich islands. 1t is need
less to say that very large portion
Of the population of the islands, and
especially of Honolulu, is composed of
this nation. They are found among
the bankers, merchants and profes-
sional men and are included among
the wealthiest residents of the city.
One of the principal schools of Homo
lulu is attended exclusively by Japa-
nese children and here has been en-
rolled command of cadets which is
to be mustered into the United States
militia as soon as its members are old
enough. 1t is drilled by a former
japanese army officer and although
organized but few years ago this
battalion has already attained a high
standard of efficiency. 1t is frequent
ly seen on parade in Honolulu and
attracts much attention.

Feeding without Grain.

Prof. w. l.. Carlyle Of the Colorado
Agricultural College has just complet-
ed feeding experiment which seems
to prove beyond doubt that Western
steers can be taken directly from the
range, put into feeding pens, fattened
on sugar-beet pulp and alfalfa hay
without an ounce Of grain of any Kind
and sold at greater profit than corn
fed steers. The steaks and roasts from
the steers fattened on beet pulp were
also demonstrated to be superior to
similar cuts from grain-fed steers.

Notes About the Farm,

A good rotation for II stock farm Is
corn, oats and grass.
Any animal that is worthy of place
on the farm has Il right to good keep.
The system of farming Is best
which markets the products of the
farm in the most compact form and
leaves the greatest amount Of fertil'
izer behind.
For profitable market fruit the
first consideration is tine appearance
the second productiveness, and the
third quality, In fine appearance IS
also included good size.
No cast-iron rule can be laid down
ms TO the exact size at which swine
can be sold to the best advantage, but
It is always safe to have them just as
good as possible.

Post.

Leaves fall and flowers fade,
Days come and go;
Now is sweet summer laid
Low in her leafy glade,
Low like a fragrant maid.
Low, low, ah, low.
Tears fall and eyelids ache,
Hearts overflow;
Here for our dead loves sake
Let US our farewells make
Will he again awake?
Ah, no, no, no.
Winds sigh and skies are gray,
Days come and go;
Wild birds are flown away.
Where are the blooms of May?
Dead, dead, this many a day,
Under the snow.
Lips sigh and cheeks are pale,
Hearts overflow;
Will not some song or tale,
Kiss, or a flower frail,
With our dead love avail?
All, no, no, no.

The hog is only machine for turn

capacity it has for this the greater will

The first and most important item

The high-grade butter cow will not
