Il think l said as Polly began pick

Il little paper box, that I'd like po-
tato with a rose growing on it."
"Of course" said Polly, extracting a
rose from the jar and pinning it in a
bunch of-curls over one ear. "That's
what every man wants. They are all
like the baby who cried because he
couldn't see both sides of the moon at
once"

Polly leaned over box and the rose
nestled down against her cheek.
And dangerous, l added.
Polly pulled potato out of the box
and held it up for my inspection.
"Shall l change it for this?' she
asked sweetly.
Don't you dare!' l cried.
Polly held the potato up against my
coat lapel and stood off to admire it.
"Take it away l pleaded
Polly dropped the potato into its
box.
"And now" she said, shaking her
finger at me, will you ever again
malign the lady who sent the roses and

Home Mixing of Fertilizers.

The editor OF this department Is a
firm believer in the home mixing Of
commercial fertilizers but only when
one knows what LIS soil needs If
potash and phosphoric acid only are
needed, there is assuredly no sense in
buying O lot Of other ingredients, and
the same argument holds good on any
combination. On the other hand, if
one has had experience with the high
grade complete fertilizers and has
found them profitable to use it would
be folly to take up with the home mix
ing of fertilizers, particularly in large
quantities. There seems to be no need
of argument in favor of either plan
except as given, for it all depends upon
a knowledge of soil and crop require
ment, and action accordingly.

Ayricultural Rriefs.

Make 1904 banner year in your
farm efforts.
Clean up; make the old farm look
new and start new methods, too.
Some farms carry lot of worthless
dogs. Why not get rid of them and
keep few sheep?
Hasty work is always at the cost of
excellence. Take time enough to do
everything well.
Gentleness with the cows pays.
Cows that fear their owners are not as
profitable as they might be.
Time to begin making calculations
about that good garden you've been
promising your wife. Make selections
and order seeds early.
In the zones where sugar-beets
thrive and are produced with good
saccharine percentage many farmers
are making money on the crop.
Don't go to Smitheree's auction and
buy lot of truck you can't make use
of. Be wise and sell your own old
rubbish, and take the money and buy
some new implements you need.
Pie-crust resolutions are worse than
none. When you make up your mind
to improve in any direction be in earn
est, and success will crown honest eff
forts.
A hive OF two of bees should be on
every farm. The bees. help fertilize
the fruit blooms and honey is good
on buckwheats cakes and the bees de-
light to work among the buckwheat
bloom-a good combination.

1t Is not pleasant sight to see lot

noses thrust through Il hole broken

nor Is 1t any wonder that such cows
are poor mixers. Years ago the writer
worked on the old time plan of water
ing COWS once day; at noon; after a
time he tried the plan of watering
them twice daily; then the plan was
tried of furnishing water three times
daily, during the winter, and a COM
parison of results showed that it paid
well. The water given at morning
and night is nearly warm, and the
cows seem to enjoy it greatly during
the cold days. That given at noon
is colder, but the chill is removed,

course, it is considerable work to
water COWS in this manner, but if one
has number OF animals, some con-
trivance can be put in operation which

There is widespread notion that
the Western and northwestern cattle
ranch States grow the bulk of the beef
cattle of the country, but it is a great
mistake. Montana, Wyoming, Idaho,
Washington, Utah, Nevada, Arizona
and New Mexico, containing over SOO,-
600 square miles and great cattle
ranges, by the last census returns had
only 4,S60,509 head of cattle. While
the single central agricultural State OF
Iowa alone had 5,367 $50 head, to say
nothing of the other Central States so
rich in grain and cattle growing.
These Central States can grow and
maintain n steer to every two acres
while these range States, for the most
part have twenty acres to the steer,
except on the rich alfalfa and irrigated
lands. On such lands q single acre
will support a steer, so rich are the
alfalfa pastures.

Short Suggestions.

A damp pantry and warm cupboard
are both bad places in which to keep
bread.
A piece of bread tied in a bit of
muslin and dropped into the water in
which green's are boiling will absorb
the unpleasant odor.
1t is a good idea to put little shot
in the bottom of tall vases. Then they
are not so liable to be knocked over
by careless hands.
AS a sterilizer boiling water outside
the bottles in sterilizing baby's milk
and inside in cleansing them is inval-
liable knowledge for every young
mother.
When lighting gas stove it will
often give a slight explosion and light
wrong, thus giving no heat. Turn the
gas off very quickly and on again. 1t
will then light properly without any
further trouble.
1t is not generally known that eggs
covered with boiling water and allowed
to stand for five minutes are more
nourishing and easier digested than
eggs placed in boiling water and al
lowed to boil furiously for three and
half minutes.
Old towels may he made to renew
their youth, says an economic house,
wife, by cutting them through the CEN
ter and sewing the two outside edges
together. The raison d'etre Of this is
that the towels get thin down the CEN
ter long before.t the sides are worn.

Veal Outlets and Macaroni,

Trim and season the outlets, fiatten
so that they are rather thin, and dip
into egg beaten up with teaspoon
full of butter. Arrange the outlets side
by side in stewpan with three or
four ounces of clarified butter. Set
over very slow fire; let the outlets
cook for ten minutes; then turn each,
and allow the same time for the other
side. Arrange on long dish. Pour
over very little butter from the pan,
and garnish with macaroni, which has
been boiled or stewed in Il Sayory
tomato sauce. On each outlet, the
moment before serving, put a small,
thin raSher of bacon.

strain out the bones and meat. Set ON

more, removing every vestige of grease

The Farmers Pork Barrel.

The farmer who raises a few pigs
for his pork barrel may count the cost
and affirm that pigs do not pay, but
where Il few pigs are raised they will
consume Il large amount Of material
that would be of no value except for
their use. When the pork barrel is
full the farmer is at least fortified
for the winter with meat, and in many
eases where no pigs are kept there is
n waste of material that could be util-
lied with the aid of at least one or
two porkerS.

Smoking Meat.

Where one has but little meat to
smoke a barrel can often be used for
this purpose. A correspondent sends
us the following plan, which he
vouches for as perfectly satisfactory,
says Orange Judd Farmer: sugar
barrel or other barrel Of large size
Is preferable. With q keyhole saw cut
u door near the bottom through two
or three slaves. After saving the door
nail strip across the slaves to hold
them together. The hinges are old
pieces of leather tackled fast and may
be hung from the top. Make a cross
to hang over the barrel, and from the
hooks suspend the meat. When the
meat is in place throw a blanket over

wheat Screenings,

The value Of wheat screenings Is
hest understood by taking some note
of what experiment stations have done
with 1t. In the Montana experiment
station. where some comparative val
ues were ascertained, it was shown
that wheat screenings were the most
valuable for feeding to lambs, while
harley proved the most efficient for
wethers. One experiment, however,
does not give conclusive proof Of the
value OF any ration. Where corn is
produced it will be the universal grain
ration in fattening sheep and lambs.

Washington, June s-One thousand
OF the best known citizens of Wash.
ington last night rendered reception
to Crosby S. Moves, edltor-in-chief of
the Washington Evening Star and
known as the Nestor of Journalism in
this city. 1t was testimonial of their

more than a half century of Washing
ton life in developing the national cap
ital through the instrumentality of his
paper and as a citizen. The immense
banquet halls of Rauscher's were used
for the occasion.
From Out-of-tOWn came over 800 let
ters from editors, senators and mem
bers of the house of representatives
and others, cOngratulating the vener-
able editor, now rounding out his 10th
year, Oh his achievements. President
Roosevelt sent a personal message re-
GREETING his inability to be present, but
extending to Mr.. NOyes his congratula-
tions and wishing that his health and
prosperity may long continue. Secre,
tary John Hay sent his regrets in a
letter testifying to the ability, integ
rity and public service Of the honored
guest. A pleasing feature of the func
tion was the presence of every EN-
ploye OF the Star.
