plant is spreading, but not loose in

Ranking close to these is the Black
Seeded Simpson, a decidedly crisp,
punching variety Of fair quality, large
and early. This Ls adapted to all parts
of the country and grown everywhere,
but less in the south than other sec
tons; an especial fayorite with De-
troit, Chicago and other western gar
deners, who probably grow this va
riety more than any other; distinct

though Of coarse quality, 1t Is often the
most satisfactory sort for home use,
because no lettuce Is more reliable and
easily grown. It succeeds during the
summer when other sorts Of more dell
cate quality are failures; a good ship
per and formerly used extensively In
the west for forcing. but now largely
superseded for this purpose by Grand
Rapids.
Tennis Ball Black Seeded completes
the quartet Of probably the four most
largely grown varieties. 1t succeeds
everywhere and at all seasons, In pri-
vate and market gardens. In the vicin-
ity Of Boston, New York, Philadelphia
and Washington 1t is more largely
grown by market gardeners in the sum
mer than any other variety. Its leaves
are thin, crumpled and light green.
Big Boston Is adapted 10 all parts OF
the country and grown everywhere

gardeners to ship north during the win

Trapped In London.
0COo-e-c" IL the curious cry that was
one OF the signals Of the native blacks
Of Australia The cry was speedily
adopted by the invading whites. The
final "e" is a very high note, sort OF
prolonged screech that resounds Tor
long distances through the bush ana
thus enables separated persons to as
certain their relative positions. On one
notable occasion this peculiar cry was
heard I'm London A daring bushranger

posted q notice ON tho door to the ef-
feet that the place would be closed for
an hour.
Entering, he terrorized the officials
with his revolver and got clear away
with $4,000. Some time afterward
the authorities received information
that the man had been seen In London.
One day detective thought he espied
his man In the Strand; but, not being
quite sure, he hit upon an expedient.
He uttered n piercing "Coo-e-e."

received very favorable mention from
DIR. Thompson, president Of the Ohio

A new feature In apple exporting Is
the sending by two exporters OF a bark

Would it not be the right scheme
upon our intense dairy farms to take
the potato fields entirely away from
the regular rotation? Manure IL more
and more taken directly to the field
from the stable, as 1t should be. But
this practice, of course, carries weed
seeds without number. 1t also makes
for the finest feeding ground for scab
In other words, the conditions that sur
round our best managed dairy farms dc
not seem productive Of the largest
yields or the finest quality OF potatoes

find rape exhausts the land greatly, but
this is returned in part by the sheep. l
SOW one pound of rape seed per acre.
This is as good as twenty pounds Be
sure to SOW evenly. Dwarf Essex Is
variety that gives success. Your rape
should be ready for sheep when the fall
feed gives out. Ny experience has been
that no feed gives as much mutton IN
given space of time as does rape
Following your rape you should have
turnips. Remember that any sort or
ensilage is also good for sheep. l feed
turnips whole TO all my sheep with full
mouth. For lambs you would do well
to cut the turnip.
Build Up the Flock.
Nv advice to the beginner with a
small farm is to keep over his lambs
secured the first year TO build up the
flock. However, conditions may pre-
vent this, and a part Of the crop VIII
have to be sold to give the farmer lit
tie ready money.
Do not be afraid of keeping too many
sheep on your place. The trouble with
the average New England farmer Is
that he is afraid of getting the hock
too large. He need not worry IN this
regard if he has plenty of room ior
them.

The Prospect For the Sheep Feeders
Commenting on the good prices lot
lambs in markets east of Chicago and
the expectation of many feeders that
there will be much better, the National
Stockman says: We have no great con-
fidence that these expectations Will be
realized. There is undoubtedly short
age of lambs on feed, but there is no
scarcity of meats, and sooner or later
the price at which mutton must sell on
the block will have its effect We do
not know->-of course. whether lambs
will go higher or lower. If we knew
such things 1t would not be necessary
for us to work for a living. But that II
is hard to maintain very high prices for
one class Of meats while others are low
is a matter of history The value OF the
pelt is more this year than usual, and
it is cutting quite a figure in the mar
ket for sheep and lambs just now. 1t
will become more valuable as the fleece
grows and will have its effect on prices.
But unless cattle and hogs advance
and supplies Of mutton are much less
than now supposed there Is not good
ground for the extravagant expecta-
lions now INDUCED by many.

= rs bad enough, under the best Of
circumstances, to be an invalid, but
there never were so many COM
pensations before. People have
learned that the removal of petty dis
comforts has a great deal to do with
more rapid recovery OF the patient.
The propping up in bed. for instance,
soon becomes uncomfortable if the
pr0ppIng is done with pillows, which
viii slip in spite of ali that You can do.
. Rut q bed rest is very comfortable-a
sEeivIng arrangement of boards. or of
frame work and springs, that can be
slipped in next the mattress, and made,
by the aid OF a big soft pillow. into the
most comfortable thing Imaginable,
which supports your body without al

or the same principle is q foot rest

the end OF the other like a capital T.
and both are covered with thick. soft
carpet. The long end slips up under

the height of the usual stool, while your
feet are braeed against the upper half.
Have Things Conveniently Near.
For an invalid who is troubled with
vakefulness, electric lamps or candle
sticks. and electric clocks as WELL are
the greatest comfort imaginable. Some
how, If you can see things around you

Button and q tiny electric bulb flashe

have no cost but thought. It is Just as
easy. when the houseInother is presery-
ing OF jeliying. 20 fill some little glasses
so that only enough for a single meal
need be served at q time. instead of
sending up a big glass with a spoon III
1t, until it is finished. It's about as
easy, too, to make q little individual
mold when the family dessert is being
made, and. somehow. it seems TO taste
a lot better that way.
When a pretty baby pillow costs too
much, why not co 'er an old sofa pillow
with strong white muslin, and make
some plain little cross-barred dimity, or
even plaid muslin, slips to button over
it? IT costs nothing but time, and not
very much of that.
The iuxuries and inventions which
have been made have done a, lot for
invalids not only in creating new ways
of making them comfortable. but in act
ing as models to plan things after.
which, perhaps, suit an individual case
much better. and suggest hundred
