"Very possibly" the well.known

"A DOWNrRODDEN FARMER

z. T. Heath, farmer living in
Neosho county, Kansas, started some
fifteen years ago with comparatively
nothing, and by persistent hard work
and good management has accumu-
lated considerable wealth. He owns
several hundred acres OF land and
raises considerable live stock. This
winter he is feeding 800 head of cattle
and probably as many hogs. He lives
on a mail route, and has mail de.
livered at his door every day. He
also lives on q rural telephone line.
and can talk to his neighbors or any.
body in town without leaving his fire.
side. But he secured something lately
that will leave all his other conven.
fences in the shade.
Some time ago he leased his land to
an oil company, and it drilled q we'll
within about 600 feet OF his house. 1t
did not get oil, but found plenty Of
gas and, according to an oil and gas
lease, the farmer gets all the gas he
wants for his own use free, when gas
is found on his farm. Mr.. Heath is
taking full advantage of this. He has
a nine room house, and has lights in
every room in the house; also in the
halls and the celler, and has six stoves
connected with the gas. Besides this
he has a gas heater in his hen.house
and in his hog-house, and has a fur
mace out OF doors for heating water fox
butchering and for cooking feed for
his stock. He also has . gas engine
which furnishes power to grind the
feed for all his stock, including the
800 head of fattening cattle, and
pumps water for them all, besides
doing all kinds OF odd jobbs like run
ming q churn grindstone, cornsheller
etc.
To cap the climax he has large
gaslight in his barnyard, with pow
erful reflector like the headlight of g
locomotive, which lights up the entire
barnyard. And when he throws open
the big doors in the end of the barn
the whole interior is lighted as bright
as day. In addition to this he has gal
heaters connected to the tanks in the
feed-lot so that his cattle have warn
water to drink all winter.

Stomach.

When the external body gets weary
after . long days work, the stomach
bears its share OF the fatigue, and
should share in the rest. But if, when
the body sits down to rest, we give
the stomach five or six hours task,
we impose ON the very best friend we
have, and if this overtaxing is con-
tinued, it must certainly prematurely
wear out the most important organ we
possess. The stomach works even
when ailing, but the work, under such
circumstances, must be poorly done,
and poor digestion reacts upon every
organ of the human economy. All the
best authorities strongly insist that
we eat too much, and that this over,
imprudent eating is the great cause
of so much suffering and such general
ill-health among mankind.
Fewer meals, simpler and better pre-
pared food and plenty of outdoor air
and exercise would greatly lesson the
demand for drugs and doctors atten-
dance. One OF the hardest appetites
to control is that for physical foods,
and a diseased condition Of the diges.
tive organs is the cause of the con-
slant demand for something new" in
the culinary line.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Though the old-time saying that
" A stitch in time may save nine"
m " not be good rhyme, it is at least
a statement of a palpable truth, and it
is the object in these paragraphs COL
lated from the best Of authorities, to
lessen the work of that mainstay Of
the cheerful fireside and happy home,
the housewife, and to afford some aid
in mitigating and smoothing her
onerous duties. 1t is some satisfac-
ton to know that our labors are ap-
preciated in that matter, and that
many of our lady readers are keeping
scrapbooks of " Household Hints"
See that your coffee and tea-pots
are clean; you cannot make good
beverage without. After using, set
them on the stove nearly full of water,
add two tablespoonfuls of washing
soda, or saleratus, and let boil half.
hour; then wash we'll in clean hot
water and set out to air. Do this
every day or two-at least two or
three times q week.
When obliged to wash dishes in
hard water, add half a teacupful Of
sweet milk to an ordinary size dish
pan half full of water; it is said the
tableware will look brighter, the pots
and pans will wash easier, and your
hands will not suffer as they will if lye
is used. Eorax will soften the hard
est water, having no bad effect on the
hands.
To clean your lamp burners, put .

in it to cover the burners, add heap.
ing tablespoonful of saleratus or wash
ing soda to it, and put the burners
into the water and boil them for half
an hour. They will be clean and
bright. When oil is cold, you should
not fill your lamp quite full, as heat
causes the oil to expand and forces it
out, making the top dirty and greasy.
Our real winter is now on, and We
must guard against coughs and colds
by proper diet and protective clothing.
Look we'll after the little folks; see
that they are properly dressed, and
properly fed. This is half the battle,
and drugs and doctors visits cost more
than food care. The body of every
individual should be so protected as to
maintain a mean temperature of SO
degrees Fahr. Flannel should be worn
next the skin if possible. But, what.
ever else is neglected, the feet and
lower limbs should be we'll protected
against cold and dampness. A good
pair OF wooden leggings for women
and children will save much unneces-
sary suffering and should be worn
whenever going out of doors. This
subject is of such vast importance, and
90 universally overlooked by most of
women, that we hardly know where to
stop.

Enulish Horse Exhibition.

Annually, in London, public ex-
hibition of work horses is held in
Regents Park. The horses, groomed
to the last hair, their names and tails
decorated with gay ribbons, their har-
ness clean and bright and carts,
wagons and drays all spick and span,
are inspected at the gates by yeterin-
airy surgeons, and if they pass they
are reviewed by street department
and other city officers, and the driv-
ers of the best cared for horses are
awarded substantial money prizes.
This annual ceremony is believed to
have great influence in the direction
of humane treatment of the animals
which work in the streets Of London.

Strength of a Woodpecker's Bill.

The long. stiff tail feathers of a
woodpecker enable the bird to cling
to the trunk CT tree in an upright
position for long time ard bore
away for food. The bill of wood
pecker is often as strong as that OF
bird of prey, and in the woodcock
of northern Maine the bill is found at
its greatest development
The tongue much resembles an
angle worm, and is very long and ad-
mirably adapted for sucking sap.
Sometimes the tongue is not only
long and brush-like, but barbed at the
point, so that it can impale it's prey.
The feet are adapted for swimming in
various ways.-Worcester Spy.

Bip-Boned Steers Not Best,

There was a time, though it was
many years ago, when the big-boned
steer that weighed $500 TO 1000
pounds, was looked for by the buyers
of beeves, but now the animal that is
sought Ivy the butchers is one that
weighs from 1900 TO 800 pounds.
We have long since found out that
the cheapest meat is made on young
animals and the money thus invested
is soonest ready to be turned over.
Not only is the money tied up longest
In old animals, but the cost of pro
ducing meat on them is so great that
our best beef feeders are no longer at
tempting TO do that. The method now
IS to keep the animals growing right
along from birth to the period when
they weigh what the market demands.
Steers are now ready for the market
ut . years Old or under. If all the ami
mails shipped to the stock yards were
Of this kind there would not be much
complaint about poor returns In stock
breeding and beefmakng. A good
many farmers are still trying II make
profitable beef on old steers But the
young steer is the only animal that
gives us any promise Of a profit -Ex-

Three Acres and n Cow.

The term three acres and cow"

igina!Iy suggested as remedy for the
lack Of employment among mechan-
les and laborers The idea was that
If each workman could secure posses
sion OF small place, he would be
come, in measure, independent dur
ing a period OF hard times. The actual
suggestion was three and oue-quartcr
acres, the one-fourth acre TO be de-
voted to an orchard in which the COW
could Craze occasionally. The rest OF
the land he desired to devote as fol
lows: Potatoes, oAe-half acre, turuips,
one fourth acre; winter vctch, one half
acre; spring vctch, ono fourth acre;
barley, wheat or oats, three -fourths
acre; clover and grass, three -fourths
acre. He estimated that the product
Of this land would be worth about 500,
and would keep the occupicr above ac-
tual want.

Feeding Milk TO Poultry.

Farmers who have more or less skim
milk and a generous supply of sour
milk can feed both protitably to lay
Ing hens during the winter. Milk
should be given as other things are
fed, with Il view to having as much
variety as possible. While the fowls
rarely tire of the milk, it generally
brings the best results If the prepare
tion of it is somewhat varied. For
example: When the weather is cold,
give the birds q lot OF warm milk in
the morning putting it In a trough.
The next night feed them n warm
mash, but mix the bran with milk in
stead OF water. This is an excellent
way to use the sour milk or milk that
is too thick TO feed alone. Another
time cook lot Of small potatoes, chop
them fine and mix with the sour milk.
then feed -creamcd potatoes In
a way. one has no idea how laying
hens enjoy such variety and what a
decided difference II makes in the egg
production.

Menaurinp Hinder IMinc.

The Canadian Inspector Of binder
Irvine gives the following simple rule
for determining the number of feet Of
twine in ball; Take a sample ball,
press the strands close together, and
note the number required lying side by
side to make an inch. Every strand
within the inch will represent 30 feet
to the pound. If il requires 10 strands
side by side TO make an inch, then n
pound contains 5OXl0, or 800 feet; if | |
strands, 5OX11, or 800 feet, and so ON.
Any one can thus test Irvine for length

DEVELOPMENT OF WHITE PINE.
Illustrated by Specimen in Possession Of

!. ID. Clark of Grand Rapids, brother
of NJ. j. Clark has most interesting
souvenir of what n white pine tree will
become within the lifetime of Il man.
Ii is white pine board twenty inches
wide and one inch in thickness, clear as
quill, and this board was taken from
a tree which iifty-eight years age Mr..
Clark pulled from Il swamp and planted
on the family farm III SCION township,
this county. When Mr.. Clark found the
tree it was but a sapling no thicker than
a mans thumb, but when IT was cut
down by the present occupant of the
farm il was Il large tree and at the point
on the stump where the board now in
Mr.. Clark's possession was cut off the
tree was eight feet and one ana one-quar-
tor Inches in circumference. Ine trer
was cut down last winter and converted
into lumber, md lumber of the fine
quality of the board now owned by Mr..
Clark is, according to his statement, hard
TO find III lumber yards. Mr., Clark says
that twenty acres of white pine trees
planted ut the time this tree was planted
would yield enough ut the present time
to purchase two ~ the finest farms in
Kent county and the ,r0tit which can he
derived from the Development of white
pine within the lifetime Of a man is very
evident. Mr.. Clark has placed his board
in the hands OF Charles W. Garfield,
who will exhibit il 10 those Interested IN
and whom he desires To interest III for
