Killing q Robin.

There are persons at the present day
and not all old women either-who
believe that killing a robin will bring
bad luck. According to ancient belief
the stormcloud was a huge bird. The
Arabians represented his wings as
measuring 10000 fathoms. This bird
lived on worms, the latter being the
streaks Of lightning accompanying
storms. The Germans remodeled the
fiction by creating the god Thor, whose
bird was the robin. Consequently to
kill robin first meant death by light
ming, then bad luck.

The farmers living along the lines Of
the trolley roads are finding in them an

An Enormous sundi.l.

A curious phenomenon is reported In
the columns Of geographical publica-
ton. 1t Is a large promontory In the
Aegean sea. known as Haydn Horoo,
which extends 5000 feet above the
level Of the water. AS the sun swings
around, the shadow Of this mountain
touches one by one circle Of islands
separated by regular intervals, which
act as hour marks, 1t Is the largest
sundial In the world.

The farmers of some sections Of the
south propose to set fire to part Of
their cotton crop and burn it up to
thus reduce the supply and keep up
the price. Fools are these. The pros
pect is that the boil weevil inside Of
three years will make the crop short
enough without burning it up.

We passed by the homestead of a
farmer last fall who had moved his
sheds and old barn to get rid Of the
accumulated piles Of manure which
surrounded them, while every acre Of
his farm was pleading mutely for the
fertilizer which he despised. Not
very much can be done for this sort

There are two men in the west en-
gagged this winter on decidedly novel
work. Each is working in the base

sand and some barrels of cement. The
one is molding handsome blocks with
which to build nice house next sum-
mer, and the other is making draintile
same manner with which to reclaim
the wet places on his farm. Why is
not this q good scheme?

There are three spreads which the
beef producer must needs watch close
ly. There is the spread between the
price Of the corn which he feeds and
the price he is likely to get for his fin
ished cattle, there is the spread be-
tween the price which he pays for his
feeders and what they will bring him
when sold, and then there is the spread
between what he can get for them
and the top Of the market.

We have a friend who lives in
small country town. He keeps two
Jersey cows, and it is needless to say
that he gives them the best Of care.
He told us recently that his cash re-
turns from these two cows, aside from
what butter and milk he and his wife
used, was $780, mostly from the sale
Of the milk to town patrons. A man
with cows Of that sort, a good garden
and few hens could live pretty easy.
When q poor old horse has reached
the limit of his useful life we think
the law ought to step In and take
such as are traded OF to that class who
by dint Of whip and club will try to
pound out a few more days work be-
fore the patient and faithful animals
drop dead on tho street-take them and
mercifully kill them. We favor the de-
velopment of the plan Of using horse
meat as food for the sole reason that
were such the practice 1t would secure
for the old horse at least good food
and care during his last days and
merciful death.

It is quite q common thing for horse
men to refer to the horse which does
not keep his end OF the whiffletree up
NJ lazy horse, one not doing his fair
share Of the work. when the truth Is
that whenever a horse thus hangs back
and causes the doubletree to defect
from a right angle line Of draft that
horse is pulling more than his share
Of the load, as such position short
ems his end Of the doubletree and
lengthens that Of the other horse CORE
spondingiy. The tagging horse should
not be whipped up to make him pull
more Of the load. but rather that he
may not have so much to do.

We passed model farm home while
riding on the train the other day. Here
is what we saw: The farm contained,
as we could Judge, about eighty acres.
It was well fenced and under good
state Of cultivation. The homestead
was the most attractive feature; the
barn and other buildings were removed
from the home lot by a lane bordered
with trees, the buildings were neatly
painted and the fences in good repair.
The house was not large perhaps con-
tanned six or seven rooms. 1t had a
pretty porch, with vines trained over
it, with flower garden and lawn fenced
in to keep out the pigs and chickens.
There was a half acre devoted to small
fruits and garden. an acre Of orchard
trees, and inclosing both home ground
and farm buildings on the north and
west was fine evergreen grove. There
was an air Of neatness, care and taste
about his whole establishment that
could not fail to attract the attention
and favorable comment Of every pass
erby. 1t was almost impossible to be-
farm or that any other than a happy
family were sheltered within the walls
Of this pretty farm home. What this
man and woman have done in beauti-
flying their home at really small out
lay Of money is what should be done
to the thousands of farm homes where
the chickens roost on the veranda,
where the garden Ii a weed patch and
the orchard dying from neglect. II
men could learn how to make their
farm homes beautiful and attractive,
wives and mothers would naturally be
more contentsd and the children would
not want to leave the farm the frst
chance they got.
Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1905-01-25

There should be a small orchard on
every farm, enough trees to supply the
family with an abundance Of good
fruit. The kind and variety Of fruit
which should be planted will vary
greatly with latitude, altitude. soil and
location. Seine varieties Of plums and
apples will grow upon almost any farm
in the United States, save possibly the
semitropical sections. Peaches may be
grown in thousands Of places where
none are now produced. Given a sunny
hillside and intelligent care, the grape
will load down the vines from Texas
to Winnipeg. The strawberry Is at
home everywhere and is by all odds
the most accommodating fruit Of the
whole list Of horticultural luxuries.
Fruit. especially that raised by the
eater, is to living what art is to bust
ness-tbe refined essence Of toll and eff
fort. Boys who have to steal applies
in order to get them sometimes grow
up to be good men. but this temptation
should be removed from them.
