"FoRTY-FOUR FEET OF SONS"
A Michigan Family Which Boasts Nine
Boys, All in Business.

Out in Michigan there is a family of
boys whose proud parents refer to them
i.s the forty-four feet of sons. The
father, w. II. Rowland, was born in
Rome. y. y, January IS. 1854, and has
tecn running a hack and baggage trans
fer line since 1879. Today he advertises
'"The Whole Family Proprietors." There
are nine sons, George l., born in 1876;
Fred u. W., 1878; Frank G., 1880;
Harry De A., 1888; Charley W., 1855;
Clarence w. A., 1889; Stiles r., 1892:
Paul r.. 1894 and William w, 1893.
The mother tells how long they waited
and watched for n daughter coming and
how finally they decided to make house
keepers of their boys.
The younger ones, too small 70 assist
their father in his business, had each a
household duty. One took charge OF the
marketing, while another helped with
the cooking, third cleared the table and
washed the dishes, while a fourth did
the sweeping and a fifth made the beds.

To Put pnfnfoes In Cellar.

Here Is an excellent device for use
in unloading apples or potatoes from a
cart to the cellar. Take a piece of No.
- wire telephone wirel and run 1t
from stake in front of the rollway
down through the rollway. or potato
bin. String two iron hooks on the
wire and hook the loaded basket upon
these, when the load will slide smooth
~ down and across the cellar, where
the helper can empty the basket. A
light cord attached to the basket al
lows the man outside to pull the bas-
ket back for another load. This
saves large amount of heavy lifting
and saves time also, since two baskets

The Brood Sows.

Give brood SONS the freedom of the
pasture fields when with young pigs
and as soon as the pigs are old enough
to eat. feed a little sheled corn and
dry middlings with mash of wheat
middlings and milk. Sows with pigs
should always have access to good
blue grass pasture and should not be
fed too much corn. The largest part
Of the ration should be made up OF
oats and bran with little oil meal.
Have plenty Of charcoal and ashes con-
stantly available. An occasional feed
of salt will be found profitable.

Breaking for Wheat.

The early broken wheat ground is
usually the land from which the larg-
est yields are taken. The land breaks
well. No clods 10 mash, no packing to
do late in August. When the ground
becomes hard and breaks into large
clods a great deal of labor is required
to get the seed bed fine and well
packed for the proper termination OF
seed.
Then again :he doubling up of work
that causes so much extra labor and
worry may be prevented later on at
sowing time. Instead Of having to
break land, harrow, drag and roll, then
Immediately follow with the drill. A
surface narrowing may be all that the
seed bed needs Letore sowing the seed
The work of sowing wheat need not
come in a lump if taken in time.

Buck " heat.

Essentials are that the land be clean.
warm, and in a fine moldy state to re-
ceive the seed. The rows may be
drilled, If that is the method Of sowing
fifteen inches apart. the seed slightly
covered with harrows, and very light
rolling given to level the surface. SO
that all plants have equal chance Of
starting together. There Is a good dcll
in this latter, for where irregular ilrsf
growth is made there are always
enemies to take the plants as they ap-
pear.

Baked Tomatoes.

One of the simplest methods of cook
Ing tomatoes is to bake them. Re
move the cores, but not the skins, and
in each place pit of butter, a little
pepper and salt; add a tablespoonful
Of butter to the dripping pan and haste
them occasionally While cooking
The oven should be quite hot Some
times portion of the juice and seeds
is removed before baking, and the
space filed with minced ham or veal
highly seasoned, which improves the
favor Of the tomatoes and gives a
more elaborate dish.

STRAWBERRIES FOR RHEUMATISM.
Despite the Tradition, Some Say That
They Are Curative.

That strawberries are injurious to

tradition is safe. II is now asserted
that the strawberry is the real thing"

to strawberries. He resurted TO them
as a medicine and would frequently
say: "lf | can but reach the season of

Borheave is said to have classed the
strawberry with the principal red fruit

Churn Often.

The best butter is made by churning
every day, but upon most farms there
is not enough cream to do this. If
churning is done but twice week
good butter can be made If the cream
has been kept cool and then ripened
properly. Some farmers that keep bu.
two or three cows churn but once a
week; under such conditions, great
care should be taken to keep the cream
to fifty degrees Fahrenheit. If possible.
When cream is kept at high tempora-
ture for a long time, the butter will
have an old flavor. If cream is kept
much below fifty degrees Fahrenheit.
