Good Luck i'm an Ill Wind.

The greatest dinner that McMillin
ever enjoyed was alta log house, when
he was callow youth just returning
from Kentucky university. A very
large turkey had been secured, and it
had been carefully pIucked and drawn
on the day before Thanksgiving. That
night, however, some appreciative col
ored man had thrown the family into
CONSERVATION by abstracting the bird,
and the theft was discovered about 8
o'clock in the evening
Meanwhile terrific gale had arisen,
and it almost reached the fury of a
tornado. The log house stood the
blast, but it shiyered and groaned. The
wooden shutters were firmly locked,
and the bowling wind outside made
the log wood fire dance with glee,
sending showers Of sparks up the
chimney. Suddenly there was smash
against one of the wooden shutters. A
blood-curdling sound was heard. Sc
curing lantern, the head Of the
household went out quickly and as
quickly returned. He held in his hands
two huge turkeys with bronzed legs
and ruftied feathers. One was a COB
bier and the other was hen. They
had been torn from their roosts in the
mountains, borne miles by the gale,
and thrown against the rude cabin by
the hand of Providence to take the
place Of the turkey that had been
stolen.
Providence had made no mistake in
this case, for the family were good,
old-fashioned hard shelled Baptists,
and they returned thanks on the spot.
The next day they enjoyed the finest
Thanksgiving dinner ever given in
Tennessee. Governor McMillin had no
affidavits to accompany this story, but
it is easier to believe it than to seek
to disprove it.-Leslie's Weekly.

Orioin OF "Hamfatter."

A correspondent to the New York
Sun gives the following account OF the
origin of the word "hamfatter
term of derision applied to actors:
Years ago, before cold cream became
a feature of the makeup box, actors
used a preparation of ham fat for re-
moving the crude grease-paint OF their
times. The less prosperous ones, for
the sake of economy, contented them
selves with the fat side of ham skin,
which they carried about and USED
inst as a wood cutter does IN greas-
ing his saw. This practice had dis
astrous effect on the complexion and
caused Thespians to be recognized at
once by the cracked and discolored
appearance of their faces. Hence the
term 'hamfatter.

Cooling Milk in Winter.

Most milk producers now know that
milk must be quickly cooled in sum-,
mer to increase its keeping power, but
many do not know that the process is
also necessary in winter. Men that
make a business of delivering milk
know that at certain times in winter
they have as much trouble with milk
souring as they do in the summer.
The cooling of milk in the winter
should be done in exactly the same
way as it is in summer; namely, by
placing the milk in cans In tanks of
cold water as soon as the milk IS
drawn from the cows. In the winter
ice and snow may be easily obtained
for reducing the temperature of the,
water in the tank. AS this is entire
ly without expense there is no good
reason why it should not be done.
Milk for all purposes will then keep
very much longer than if it is not
cooled after being drawn.

out in 1900 began to bloom the third
year, 60 specimens having been fruit

palms had become fruitful, and it is
from this seasons experience that the
authorities resolved to extend the
area of date palms. 1t has cost the
government nearly 50 plant to i'm

benefits to be derived from date cul-

Shooting Young Horses.

Trouble comes in in shoeing horses
when there is improper handling the
first time the colt is shod. Before the
colt is taken to the blacksmith for the
first time it should be prepared for
shoeing by handling it's legs in such
manner that he will understand that
he is not to be hurt The rule is to;
take the colt to the blacksmith first
"A poor plan. The following method
is said to be an excellent one for pre-
pairing the colt for shoeing: Tie long
strap around its neck, passing it along
the near side and between the hind
legs, bringing it to fit close to the
body; then pass it under the strap
which is around the neck: then tigh-
ten up the strap gradually, holding
colt by the bride. 1t will probably
pull little, but speak to it kindly.
When it has become accustomed to the
strap lower it to a point just above the
hook and gradually pull upon strap
until the leg is lifted, at the same
time pulling back or to the side on
the bride to keep colt from stepping
ahead: then take the leg in hand. The
same thing can be done with the other
leg, and after the process has been
gone through several times one viii
be surprised to find how easy it is to
lift any leg

A New Farm School.

Interesting results are expected from
the new Smith Agricultural School soon
to be opened at Northampton, Mass.
1t is founded with an endowment Of
100000. the increase of the bequest
of $4,000 made sixty years ago. This
school will be managed by a commits
sion chosen each year at the annual
city election. A tract of land is to be
set apart as an experiment farm, and
school building will be erected for
the students. The details of the plan
have not been announced, but the
work will be carried on probably on
somewhat different lines from the
State agricultural schools and colleges,
and for that reason will be Of some
what special interest. 1t will be de-
signed to afford good opportunity for
the young men of the surrounding re-
gion to obtain a practical training in
farm operations.

On Obtaining Success.

through economy that financial success

The Difficulty of Rrant Shooting.

You may call the suspicious wild
goose to the decoys, and even induce
the cautious swan to come within
ever devised that will induce that
king of waterfowl, the brant, to come
within range of the heaviest caliber
shotgun. Unlike the black duck,
they love a crowd, and like the can
back, they gather in great focks
of their own species. In the early
morning and evening they ride the
waters in vast numbers and are quick
to leave the water at the sight OF any
craft. They do not investigate, and
have no sense of curiosity, and take
wing at the slightest alarm. At low
water the sand shoals are black with
unnumbered thousands, and it is SIM
ply exasperating for the sportsman to
gaze at them and know that il he
tries to creep up within shot, their
sentinels, we'll posted a hundred
wards or so on the front, rear and
flank, will give the alarm and in
second, with noise like thunder,
the huge mass will rise high in air
and alight only when they reach
wide expanse of water where there is
no boat in sight, Yet brant hunting
is the most fascinating sport of all
water shooting. To knock over one
of these birds, going like the wind,
fully repays the sportsman for many
a long wait, and the risk only gives
the sport a keener ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
