What 1t VIII Cost.

1t may be that some of our readers,
who have not yet grown a crop of
Irish potatoes, are considering the
matter Of putting in such crop next
winter. If so, they will probably find
some interesting in formation in the
following estimates from the Hastings

one OF the first things that a pros
pective settler would naturally want
to find out before locating in Hastings
or any other locality, where he pre-
posed to gain a livelihood by cultivat-

of their cultivation.

BATH TUBS OF GLASS.

No longer can the Clearly hygenic
porcelain bath tub be reckoned the
leader in bath tubs, for this essential
household requisite has now a rival
an importation from Germany. This
latest development in bath tubs is Of
glass, thick plate glass and moulded
in one piece. or course, in the homes
of the very wealthy there are bath tubs
of much more costly material than
plate glass, but this newest conner is
designed for ordinary use, the same as
the porcelain type. There are not very
many glass tubs obtainable as yet, but
those that have arrived are attracting
attention, particularly from feminine
observers, for the glass looks so bright
and clean and fresh. Brooklyn Eagle.

MEASURING THE RAIN.

The simplest form of gauge consists
of funnel with a definite area, say,
twelve inches, the neck of which fits in
bottle. The rain that falls into the
funnel runs down into the bottle, of
course, and the quantity is measured
by means of graduated glass.
Any boy can measure the rainfall for
himself. Having provided the funnel
and the bottle-the metal cylinder out
side is not essential-let him fit them
as described, and then put them in
level, open place, away from trees and
buildings, with the mouth Of the funnel
about foot above the ground. The
bottle should be fastened in position,
to avoid being overturned by the wind,
and should rest perfectly Level.
When the measure is to be taken the
water should be poured into gradu-
ated glass, and the number of cubic

When ironing, stand on a soft, thick

Bronzed lamps, chandeliers, etc,
should be merely busted with feather

Dishcloths are quickly made fresh

Once in ten days thoroughly wash

Row to Get the Model Cow.

Query: How are you to get this
COW? In order to set her in perfection,
you must so back to several genera
tons Of grandmothers! For if they
have not record for making butter
and superior milking qualities, EVEN
good mother and sire will not always
redeem them. A line Of great perform
ing grandmotherS is the true secret of
breeding. You may also have the hast
mother in the world, and unless bred
TO a dairy sire you may get a much
poorer COW than herself; hence the
truism, 1.-THE sire's seventy per cent.
of the herd" and by a dairy sire 1
mean one with those long lines of
grandmothers on both sides; all must
be record cows on both sides for sew
eral generations. The sires should
have practically the same dairy points
as the cows, his daughters follow him
instead Of the dame, as usually with
we'll developed rudimentary teats, and
general feminine appearances, except
the head and neck, should be more
masculine. Remember one of the often
quoted fallacies about the dairy COW
is, That the corn crib cross is the
best cross for cow" Many young
breeders fall into this sad error.
chiefly, l think, because when at fairs
and other show places they see fat
count so much. This may meet with
approval by beef feeders, but should
never be allowed in judging a dairy
COW, for she very evidently cannot do
both, turn her feed into beef and but
ter at the same time, and it usually
costs as much to make a pound of beef
as it does q pound of butter, and we
all know which is worth the most in
the market 1t is blood, l. e., proper
breeding that tells It the milk pail and
butter table. You can increase your
flow of milk by feed, but not the con-
tents of butter fat. To do that you
must have the proper line of breeding
to fix the butter fat; process of as
similation and evolution. Many a COW
has been discarded because she would
only give two gallons of milk per day,
and cow kept that gave four yet the
two gallon cow made the most butter.
But what we want is the four and
eight gallon cow, and then see by
proper breeding she shows up four to
five per cent. butter fat, then you will
have paying cow. The two gallon
COW gives too little even if it is five
per cent. fat, for she will only make
about three-quarters of pound of but
ter, when the cow with a large flow
often compensates If she has only
three per cent. butter fat, as her offal
milk can be fed to the calf, pigs, fowls,
etc.-I. c. Wade, Habersham County,

THE OLDEST DOLL IN AMERICA.
When William Penn sailed from Eng
land in 1900 he brought with him
doll of English make, which is the last
surviving representative of that ia
nous voyage.
This doll was sent to a Miss Rankin,
of Philadelphia, by William PENIS lit
tie daughter, Letitia, and was named
after her. The doll is still in excellent
preservation, and the big floating"
court dress of the day when she first
came to light still adorns her person.
It is made of brocade and velvet, and
is extended over an enormous hoop.
After passing through many hands
the doll became the possession of DR..
Mahlon Kirk, of Sandy Springs, Md.
who greatly treasures the dainty miss,
only removing her from her wrappings

EARTHwoRMs AND MOISTURE

EARTH WORMS AND MOISTURE.
Earthworms cannot live without
moisture; their food is also dependent
upon it. During droughts they burrow
down to moisture often three or four
feet, and it is only after rains, during
humid weather, or in damp earth that
they may be dug up just under the
surface or are seen travelling on the
surface to new localities, generally at
night. Vegetable mold often grows
upon pavements and worms frequent
such places. Often they crawl upon
the hard sidewalks and cannot burrow
down again. They are found in great
est numbers wherever there is decay
ing vegetation. Worms are friends of
man and serve an important economic
purpose.-From Mature and Science"
in st. Nicholas.
