Summer cottages.

Portable summer cottages meet the
needs of those who want to spend the
summer in the country, but who can
not afford to own house and lot or to
rent an expensive country home. 1t is
an easy matter to hire a small plot Of
ground either at the seashore or In the
mountains at low cost and spend the
summer in one of these houses. The
cost of transportation by freight Is not
great. for thezfcan be packed into a

Station estimated that It required about
thirteen inches Of water as rainfall,
pats about nineteen inches, corn about
twenty-six inches. Although less wa
Ter is required to manure a pound Of

Spread Manure ON the Land.

"a Manure should not be dumped In the
felds, but spread on the ground at the
time of loading at the barnyards. If
manureiis dumped and a rain comes
Before it is spread the spot upon which
was placed the manure will receive the
largest share Of the soluble portions.
This may be noticed on all fields where
the manure has been dumped, as GER
tain portions were enriched, the growth
be the crop, especially of grass, being
very uneven. These enriched portions
show the effects Of the extra allow
hhce of manure for years and give
good evidence in favor of its liberal
use.-Farm Visitor.

Feeding Young Pigs.

I The pigs should be got out on the
ground as soon as possible, SO that they
will not become inactive or deformed.
The feed should be increased gradual

used. such as oats, barley, etc. As the
pE-s grow older n little corn may be

A Volume Of Light.

"Chatterbox" has long been a particular
friend OF ours. We will add, for the sake OF
the ignorant, that this is a journal addressed
to young people. 1t comes out In book
about the time Of the holidays. 1t contains
stories long and short articles Of inforrna-
ton, verses and truly satisfying pictures.
We have been especially gratfed in this
issue by the story Of 'The Boy Tramp
and by the accounts Of the famous caves
of the world. We are glad that the Mann
moth Cave Is larger than Fingals Cave,
as we believe it is. The record Of the evente
of importance OF 100 years ago, Of the year
1905, has deeply interested u.s. They were
alert and capable long before our time.
We need an insistenoe Of history In order
to correct our own feeling Of Importance.
We commend this volume to parents who
have conscience and disoernment ae we'll as
children. Dana, Estes & Co. Of Boston are
the praiseworthy publishers.

Again. a story OF the South.

N lurid romance and Southern politics and
Y,ce problems are vivisected in the intervals

us Of Southern conditions reproduces the
I tmpex life Of the day in which Northern
apita and enterprise clash with Southern
4tadltions and prejudices and the negro
Elnds ever in the foreground to provoke
4 ahatlity and propel dramatic climaxes

4 3v1h brains and pluck and capital, with
clan and wholesome views Of life untainted
by traditional prejudices and unsoiled by
hereditary obliquities. He goes down into
ine miasmatic Southern world ostensibly
10 buy and manage to his profit an electric
3ilht Internationally to define the
lbouOdaries and determine the content Of
th land called Dixie. Naturally he
hs strenuous and perplexing siege and
Ih usual hackneyed experiences, involv-
. b the inevitable lynching, whc h has
aiVayB been a favorite theme in melo-
fanatic literature, justified by actual
Iappenings. Ultimately the girl he loves

boxing for in Dixie and that all the rest
d it is too difficult for him to work out,

fsdictons where a man may be the lille
climate father of colored child and not
kse caste, but may not toss a darky baby
on his shoulder without disgusting his

trolley car without setting up revolution
In which human beings are roasted alive

A Romance OF Italy.

II the chief purpose Of q good story Is to
be entertaining, THE Wheat Princess" by
Jean Webster CThe Century CO.. fulfils the
requirements. 1t is tale OF politics and
picturesqueness, In which the politics, al
though dramatic. are we'll subor dinated
and serve as a verifying argument for the
pictureequeness. .. =.
The plot Is slight, but carefully built up and
not inconsistent with probability In Italy.
The coincidence Of fate and other manipu-
lations Of the succession OF incidents are
we'll handled and adroitly manoeuvred
with no undue strain on the credulity
or unnecessary creaking Of machin-
ery The scene Is laid in one Of the hill
town Of Italy during the turbulent times
of King Humbert's reign, when an American
family take up their residence In an old
yilla-the Villa Vivilanti-not many miles
from Rome The ancient Villa Vivilanti,
as every contadino will tell you IL you find
the precise locality, as no doubt you may
under a different name, was built by the
bad Prince who locked his storehouses
bursting With grain while the, peasants
were starving and was murdered for his
cruelty more than two hundred years ago.
The modern Villa Vivilanti is occupied by
De tiiACCSSb "hOSo huthSii Iic
Wheat King, had with farseeing sagacity
manipulated a successful corner in grain
on the New York market and had thereby
raised the price Of bread even in far away
Italy. Italian politicians infamed the
populace with exaggerated reports of the
iniquity of the Wheat King in order to divert
attention from delinquencies and obliquities
nearer home, with some dramatic results
for the innocent, impulsive and well mean
ing Wheat Princess at the villa. Even the
love Of the little children Of the village,
fed upon the generous supplies OF sweet
chocolate from the Princess's bounty,
turns to hatred and they surround her in
the piazza clamoring for bread with
threatening determination.
The story climaxes in rather comic
opera attack upon the household by the
4Camorra" and the Princess marries her
deliverer, who fortunately for her is an
American, after the good old fashion of
romance. The hero has been for many
years resident OF Italy, and his intimate
and sympathetic knowledge of the Italian
character, Of the tragedy underlying the
glory Of united Italy, forms q substantial
basis of fact for the superstructure of enter
tanning romance which will be Of special
interest to those who have travelled or
lived in that land Of dramatic and pctur-
esque tradition and potentiality Italy
