HERE AND THERE.

The stiff %scrubbing brush the wife
uses in house cleaning is a good and
merciful horse cleaner. But do not use
hers.
AT least a dozen varieties of choice
apples, suited to all seasons and tastes,
should be grown for family use by ev-

Flour exports from the United
States in 1903 were larger than in any
preceding year in the history of our
commerce, and aggregated practically
20, 000, 900 barrels.
There is a place IN every farm for
the bee, whether she gets it in a nice,
good hive or in a soap box, or in a

the sweet blossoms are the honey bee

hogs are a safe market for corn. 1t is

People who desire to obtain decent
incomes from poultry farms must be
sure that the hen can not be depended

not for business. Quantity calls for the

n PRoUD BUN.

The baker-man was kneading buns
His trough 81 deep and wide 81
When, much to his surprise, he heard
A small voice by his side.
ooh, make me large and fat" 1t said, y
And stuff me full of plums,
80 that may attract applause
From every one who comes.
"Oh, put a piece of citron in,
And make me rich and rare,
That l may serve for dukes and earls
who sumptuously do fare"
The baker chuckled in his sleeve
To hear him talk so big,
But thought: "Til put in every thing,
And let him run his rig!"
He put in all he had on hano,
And made him rich and rare,
And set him in the window-pane,
To make the natives stare.
For, swelled to twice his natural size
With yeast and plums and pride,
He scorned the doughnuts, pies and cakes
And eI5owed them aside.
Tn waiting for the duke" he said.
with whom l am to diner
Just then two newsboys came along
Whose appetites were fine.
"My eye," they cried. come over here
And see this jolly bun;
Let's buy him for our supper, quick
And so the thing was done.
Two morals to this little song
Are had at easy rates;
TT is i'll to wait for dukes and earls
In these United States.
And when the baker kneads his dough,
If then you are begun,
No matter what he may put in,
You'll always be a bun!

NEW FORM OF WRESTLING.
After a Little Practice, Boys Fond of
Athletic Exercise Will
Enjoy the Sport.

The boys down east have a new sport.
Wrestling has always been a fine eX-
ercise, needing all the strength and agili-
ty that a boy can have. 1t also needs
a good deal of thinking, as those who
have wrestled know. There are a good
many kinds of wrestling, too, but foot
wrestling seems to be really something
new.
Two boys stand facing each other.
Each stands on one foot. With the other
foot each boy locks heels with the other
boy. From then on it is a test of skill
in balancing and of which boy is the
better thinker, Strength has not so
much to do with this sort of wrestling
and often a small and clever boy can
make a big rival sit all over the ground.
There is bound to be a good deal of sit
ting down to this game. You may not

were far too innocent to mistrust evil
gan to look funny.
One day the Fairy Queen, who was
very friendly with the birds and flow
ers, disguised herself as an old, lame
sparrow. Just at dusk she came to Crow
and begged to share his nest for the
night. Crow closed one eye and looked
her over critically.
Share my nest?" he repeated. There
is no room for such as you"
But am old and lame, and very.
very feeble. l pray you take me in"
"Pshaw!" snapped Crow. Don't
come around here disturbing honest
birds with your pl~eadings."
The sparrow brushed away a tear with
her wing. Unwilling to believe that
Crow was wholly bad, she continued:
81 am faint and hungry; will you not
give me some of the food concealed in
your nest?"
mo! MOI" replied Crow. 1T is mine;
why should l feed a stranger? l shall
need this myself in the morning."
What" exclaimed the Fairy, as she
recoiled shudderingly from Crow.
"Where did you get that little robin?
Do you rob your friends of their young?"
No." spluttered Crow in confusion,
trying to hide the dead bird with hi.
wing. "I-I-found it. Yes, | found it."
In an instant the lame sparrow dis
appeared, and the Fairy Queen in all
her dazzling beauty stood before him.
Crow opened his mouth to explain, but
the Queen motioned for him to be silent.
Then she called softly to the other birds.
From all over the forest they came and
aiighted on the bushes and trees around
her, till there was no room for another
one.
Crow hung his head guiltily. Th>
Queen, with tears of sorrow in her eyes.
turned to the assembled birds.
1T grieves me to learn that Crow,
whom all have loved and trusted, has a
bad heart. Disguised as a lame spar
row, l asked to share his nest, but he
refused"
Obi" moaned the birds.
Hungry, | begged for food. Although
he had plenty, he gave not a morsel."
"Shocking!" chirped the birds, open

chorus.
my friends, he-he-stole it, and he
denied it."
The birds bowed their heads in grief,
while Crow trembled so badly that two
blue jays were obliged to hold him on
the limb.
He must suffer the consequences
continued the Fairy, looking lovingly at
the birds. Listen, this shall be his
punishment.
Because he has a black heart, his
feathers shall no longer be white, but
black as jet. AS he refused n whom
he supposed i'll and hungry, he shall be
forced to steal his food for the remainder
of his days. Farmers shall make war
against him, and shoot him as he pulls
up their corn.
Because he used his voice in telling
an untruth, he shall never more be
counted among the song birds. The
only noise he shall make will be a hoarse
cav. And it shall ever be thus, for SO
the Fairy Queen has willed it."

Strong Language.

Fredericksburg, Ind, June 2o.-Rev.
Enoch P. Stevens, of this place. uses strong
language in speaking of Dodd's Kidney
Pills, and he gives good reasons for what
he says:-
Il can't praise Dodd's Kidney, Pills too
much" saws Mr.. Stevens. They have done
me SO much good. | was troubled with
my Kidneys so much that 1 had to get
up two or three times in the night, and
sometimes in the day when starting to
the waterhouse the water would come from
me before getting there. Two boxes of

Pills to many people, and have never YET

abound in grasshoppers and other in

Feeding Salt to the Cows.

One of the most successful dairymen
we know about feeds his cows four
ounces of salt per COW per day, and
says that it pays. "The cows give
more milk, the milk has a much bet
ter flavor, and will keep considerably
longer" The salt is fed with the grain
ration. Since hearing this man we
have fed our COWS more salt. Alto
gether we have not got up to the quar-
ter-pound notch, yet We still believe
that a good many cows do not get as
much salt as they really need. Sailing
is one of the little things that are apt
to be neglected, and a handful once a
week is a too common practice.-Rural

THE TURKEY ON THE FARM.
The Business Is All Right If Your
NefghbOr Isn't Doing 1t or
Has a Nice Garden.

The turkey demands a wider range
than any other domestic FOWL. 1t is too
nearly related to the wild bird to en-
dure confinement, and when this is at
tempted it pines and fails to thrive. 1t
delights in fresh air, and plenty OF it,
tree is much preferred, winter and
summer, to the most approved poultry
house.
Those living on small farms had best
confine their energies to other branches
of the poultry department., no matter
how alluring the turkey business may
seem. In the end it will prove a dis
appointment; worse, the owners OF
neighboring gardens will be your enc
mics, for a turkey will go through a
patch of cabbage in short order If op-
portunity is offered.
Again, if your neighbors are engaged
in turkey raising, think twice before
you enter the list, even though there
be good range. Flocks will get tOgeth-
err, and then trouble ensues. If all par
ties are honest, homemade leg bands
will serve to identify the members of
each flock. Stout cloth, as bedticking
or denim, will serve the purpose. But
If one of the parties is so inclined tho
leg bands may be removed-and then
young safeguard comes up as testimony
against you. The one who insists on
having his number, no matter how
many may have been taken by nawk or
weasel, is going to get the best OF the
deal. Under such conditions it is wise
not to attempt turkey raising, for tits
neither profitable nor pleasant to feel,
when you should be giving thanks thai
you have been working all summer to
serve others.
While the little turkeys are more
tender than chicks, after they are half
grown about the only care needed is
liberal feeding night and morning. This
latter is more as an incentive to them
to come home to roost than to supply

The output of coal in both France
and Belgium last year was greater than
ever before, that of France being 49,

China and Japan are prominently
the sea%weed-eating nations Of the

seaweeds so extensively devoured and

Sawdust is converted into portable
fuel in Germany by a very simple pro-

become sticky, when it is pressed into
bricks.
The three important wheat states of
Australia produce $4,000, 900 bushels.
The yield to each acre in New South
