A young couple residing in North
st. Louis were married recently.
When the guests. arrived there was IA
display Of wedding gifts enough to
make any bride envious. Conspicuous
among the offerings were a silver SER
vice and a set of Haviland china
These bore the cards of two of the
brides sisters. The groom was not
very well acquainted with his new
relatives, but smiled approval of their
gifts and decided that they must be
both wealthy and liberal. A night or
two ago the newly-married pair had
some company and the husband sug-
gested that they get out their silver
and Haviland for the occasion. His
wife bushed and stammered. Finally
she blurted out: 1--WE have no silver
and china. The girls only loaned
those to make a show and to mf Ike
others mad. They took them home

Dairy Cows Loose in Shed.

Prof. Fraser, of the Illinois station,
says in Circular No. SO: The plan of
allowing dairy cows to run loose in a
shed looked so reasonable, and those
dairymen who had tried it reported
so favorable concerning the results
obtained, that ii was decided to put the
method into actual operation. Accord
ingly shed 30x6S feet adjacent to
the dairy barn was arranged for the
purpose; managers were built on each
side, and the two bull pens were re-
tained at the corners. This shed is a
doors on both sides, thus affording ex-
cellent ventilation. Twenty-Five cows
have been cared for in this manner
with most satisfactory results. From
the experience at the university the
past two years it has been found that
the cows keep much cleaner than when
stabbed and that the milking stable is
in a more sanitary condition, Conse-
quently it is easier to produce clean
milk. By this method there is less
difficulty in providing cows with an
abundance of fresh air, they are more
vigorous and healthy and have better
appetites than when kept in the sta
BILE. Since they can move about and
get exercise they will not suffer in
cold weather if the temperature is
somewhat lower than in the ordinary
stable. Labor IL saved as the shed
can be bedded much more easily and
quickly than can stalls; there is lit
tie stable cleaning to be done and
the manure is hauled directly from
the shed to the field at any time most
convenient and when least damage is
done the land by tramping. Another
advantage is the saving Of fertility
much more completely. Many barns
do not. have cement floors and so there
is more or less waste of the liquid por-
ton of the manure. Since land is be-
coming so high priced no farmer can
afford to allow any fertility to be vast
ed, and by this method all the liquid
is saved, as it is absorbed by the
bedding. If only enough bedding is
used to keep the cows clean they tramp
the manure so thoroughly that it does
not heat to make the air impure. If
manure is hauled directly from the sta
BILE to the field there IS q considerable
portion Of the year when it must be
allowed to accumulate in the yard
where it will leach badly, or it must
be hauled onto the land when it is so
wet and soft that much injury is done
by tramping; this is especially true
on clay soil.--Weekly Witness.

Hoo Philosophy.

A symmetrically developed hog is
the profitable porker.
A runty pig may be properly de-
fined as one that eats its head off
about three or four times year.
The hog pen is the logical banking
institution on the farm, and the farm
er can draw on his account any day
in the year.
Everlastingly at it is the successful
hogmans motto. You can't make the
most of the pigs and slight them for
one single day.
The State fairs are the best educai
tors we have for the rank and file of
hog growers. They set higher ideals
for men to work toward.
The high grade hogs now found
on the average farm trace through
the best and purest ancestry known
to the hog breeding world.
Don't worry about feeding the SOW
till the litter is day or two old, at
least, and then go slow. Feed some.
thing light and cooling.
There is a better margin for profit
in well-fed litter of pigs than may
be found in any other like invest
ment of money on the farm.

OVER SEA HABIT

The persistent effect upon the hear
OF caffeine in coffee cannot but result
in the gravest conditions. in time.
Each attack of the drug (and that

imagined than described.
During all this time my husband
realized more fully than l did that
coffee was injurious to me, and made
every effort to make me stop.

Breed for Quality.

It has been said that the poorest
horse to breed is the little horse of
the draft type. But with the trotting
stock the case is entirely different,
for both size and quality are hard to
obtain in the standardized horse. 1t
is difficult to get much size without
sacrificing quality. The tendency now
is to breed more for quality than was
true for many years when all shapes
sizes and colors Went, just so the
horse had standard record. 1t is
not true that the large horse goes as
fast and stands training better than
the smaller animal. Some of the big
horses go very fast, but as rule
they are "band-box" horses suitable
for the show ring, or trotting eXhibi
tion miles AS a rule the great horses,
the kind that can win a race or two
every meet during the entire season,
go into winter quarters sound, and
keep it up year after year, are of the
George Wilkes and Lou Dillon types,
and weigh 500 to 1000 pounds. This
is the class of horses that render the
greatest service for physicians, livery
men and others who require horses OF
great endurance. The large horses
have to carry too much weight their
feet and legs cannot stand the contin
uous fast driving and hard work all
their lives and keep sound, equal to
the 500 or $50 pound Morgans-Farm

number will settle and stand perfectly

and there that twist or fall down. II
these shocks are permitted to remain
until the field of corn is gathered, the
fodder will likely be entirely ruined.
Such shocks will not turn rain and
few showers will make the fodder
worthless. Even the corn may be
badly damaged in the down or twisted
shock. Haul in such shocks as soon
as possible, when they are dry. II
they cannot be hauled in, then reshock
them in the field. After considerable
time and labor have been spent in har-
vesting the fodder, it is certainly not
wise to lose even small percent Of it
that might easily be hauled in. 1t is
not likely that shocks standing straight
one month after harvest will twist
enough to damage by rains until they
are sufficiently dry to shred or haul

fodder should be in the dry. A wet

her and November are good months for
shredding and when December comes,
rains early hinder the work.
More attention must be given to
corn not entirely out of the sap than
to dry corn. Usually such corn has a
sappy cob and If thrown in heap the
silks and shelled corn in the centre
of the heap prevent proper ventilation
and fermentation sets in. In this way
the corn may be badly damaged. 4
tight crib is more likely to have corn
heat and damage than an open one.
The V-shaped trough with pigeonholes
in it is a good ventolater These
troughs are made to fit crosswise in
the crib at irregular intervals, espe-
cially near the place of filling the crib.
This permits the free circulation of air
through the heap. If troughs are not
used ordinary fence rails crossed oc-
casionally will permit air to pass
through

shelled corn is difficult to handle be-
cause of its tendency TO heat. 1t

Currant CUTTINGS.

A little foresight is worth money,
especially in setting out currant bush
es. Cuttings from currant bushes are
so easily propagated that there is small
sense in paying nurserymen the COM
paratively high prices demanded for
better varieties when it is within the
capacity of even the most amateur
fruit grower to raise his own currant
bushes. OF course it takes more time
to raise them than it does to buy
them, but it costs less, With cur
rants as well as with most other pro-
labor or money to care for and pro-
duce a good variety than it does a com
mon one. With a start of a dozen
bushes of Fay's Prolific, the writer
has raised 200 fine bushes from cut
tings made from the original twelve.
The year after planting these twelve
furnished, by severe pruning. 100 cut
tings, and of these over 100 lived and
produced bushes. The second year
excellent results were obtained by cut
ting new wood late in August and i'm
mediately planting in moist ground,
a practice which does not seem gen
eral. 1t can be strongly recommended
This new wood gave immediate and
good growth and got finely establish
ed roots before winter They were
planted in nursery rows foot apart
six inches in the row, in good rich
ground, and they wintered nicely with
out loss, straw and leaves being used
as mulch protection In spring these
cutting had a long lead over those
which had been stored away in the
cellar; they had the advantage of al
most third of seasons growth
Three years from the August cutting,
under good conditions, currants will
yield well. In planting the cuttings
care should be taken TO select well
drained ground in which an excess of
water will not stand and freeze around
them.-Y. NJ. l.. in Indiana Farmer.

Ivory From Animals.

Ivory comes from other sources
than from the elephant and is just as
good. Ivory dealers and workers in
ivory have long known this. Tusks
from the hippopotamus furnish just
as good ivory as comes from any one
of the 20 varieties of elephants. 1t
is also proved that the boar, narwhal,
right whale and alligator furnish eX-
cellent ivory. Even the western hog
gives many an ivory tusk to the

70 Construct a Corn Brace.

To make firm support for stacked
corn in the field, one helper took a
rope five feet long and fastened ring
in one end and snap in the other
end. Taking two stacks in adjoining
rows, put the rope around them; snap
the snap into the ring at one side of
the stock; then cut the corn and set
it against this. When the shock was
filed, he pulled the rope out by TAX
ing hold of the snaps. Adjust the rope
half way up the stalk. This makes a
very firm stand to husk from.-F. L.

A Luminous Explanation.

No two things differ more than hur-
ry and dispatch. Hurry is the mark
of a weak mind; dispatch of strong
one. A weak man in Office, like a
squirrel in cage, is laboring eter-
nally, but to no purpose; and in con-
slant motion without getting on a
jot; like turnstyle, he is in every
body's way, but stops nobody; he
talks great deal, but says very lit
tie; looks into everything, but sees
into nothing; and has 100 irons in
the fire, but few of them are hot
and with these few he only burns his
fingers.

LAzlNEss A DISEASE.
Many Cases Result of Morbid Physical
Conditions.

Certainly not all lazy persons suffer
from disease of the brain, but, ac-
cording to an editorial writer in
Americana Medicine, lasstude in chill
dren is often q cerebral symptom and
should not be overlooked as such.
Says this writer: "Change of disposi-
tion in children is often wrongly in
terpreted, and both parents and
teachers have recourse to various
means to secure improvement, such
as reprlmandng, forcing, depriving of
food, ETC., although conditions grow
worse instead of improving. A child
for example, enjoying heretofore good
health, all at once undergoes a radi-
cal change; he becomes slow in his
actions, takes more time than usual
in eating, dressing, studying; his in
tellectual faculties become less vivid,
memory fails, lie lacks attention. The
condition is diagnosed as 1aziness'
and bodily punishment is inflicted. A
child like this is certainly i'll, and
coercive training will not improve the
condition, but strictly medical atten-
tion. The subject is certainly import
ant from practical standpoint, as
the future of such patient depends
upon the early recognition of the pa
biological condition. II should be
borne in mind by every parent or
teacher. Cheerfulness, laughter
vividness, are all attributes Of youth
and If these characteristic features of
childhood are rapidly replaced by
lassitude and impairment of intelli-
gence, the condition is undoubtedly
morbid"
