necessary to make repairs to the pedes-

ETIQUETTE or CALLS.

Ercrg one IS aware that married
woman when paying formal call on
nnouler married couple leaves two Of
her husbands cards IN the hall when
coming In on going out.
but every one does not know that
when the hostess Is a widow only one
card should be left.
Pnnciiiious people always call ut a
house from whence they have received

been declined or accepted. But with
the one exception OF returning a fret
call. which ehould be done as reason
ably soon as possible, the question as

social visits II sone that must be left
to the good taste aud good sense Of
the caller
Many people with large and In
creaslng circle keep book in which
they note the date OF their calls, and In
this connection II should be stated that
Il Is compliment to call on the right
day--that Is, when the hostess Is
known to be at home to her friends.
It used to be considered the right
thing FOR a formal visit only to last
about a quarter OF an hour. II rot In
frequently happens that an idle WON
an will arrive early and stay late II
she happens to be amused and II she
has nowhere else to go. Such behavior
Is particularly inconsiderate when the
drawing room OF her hostess happens
10 be small one and when other Wis
it0rs are many.
In the country long calls are. or
course. permissible. but not In a town.
Again. II is not good taste to make
appointments to meet Friend at an
other friends house, and yet this Is
frequently done, to the natural annoy
ance OF the hostess. who feels that her
reception room is being used much as
might be station waiting reom.--New

THE USEFUL YAWN.

Falls Lung ventilsting Procesr Serves
q Double Purpose.
The act Of yawning is distinctly bene-
ficial In two ways. In the first place
IL serves the purpose of lung ventila-
ton. The lungs are not H,led or ex-
hausted by ordinary respiration. There
10 a certain quantity OF air which phys
biologists cail residual air. left In the
recesses OF the lungs after the ordinary
respiration. This In time becomes viii
ated and affects the blood and, through
1t, the nervous centers.
The result is yawn, which Is really
q stretching Of the respiratory chamber
to its fullest capacity and the filling
Of 1t with freshly inspired air which
drives the vitiated air out. Yawning is
also beneficial In so far as 1t opens.
stretches and ventilates the vocal, ma
sal and auditory chambers in immedi-
ate connection with the mouth.
The cracking sound often heard when
yawning Is due to the stretching and
opening Of the eustachian tubes, which
form communication between the
middle ear and the back of the throat.
The deafness which often accompanies
. cold Is due to the congestion of these
tubes. London Hospital

THE BARK OF TREES.

Natures Provision For the Relief of
the Growing Plant.
The practical cultivator understands
that nature makes provision for getting
rid Of the bark of trees as the trunk In
creases In size. On the growth of the
past season may be seen small olive
spots. These are formations of cork
From year to year, In subsequent de-
veiopment, these little patches spread,
really eating their way through the
bark. This ia the provision which ma
ture makes for finally rifting the bark
In each species of plant These cork
cells have their own special lines Of de-
velopment, and this is the reason why
each kind of tree has Its own particular
bark. The characteristics are 50 prom
inent that clever observers can select
different kinds OF trees by their bark
even at midnight. As II is the evident
intention Of nature to get rid of old
bark, 1t IL a great help to the tree to as
si3t nature In this respect, and any
wash or treatment which aids the
plant In getting rid of 1t is a prac-
teal advantage. Soapy water wash or
I've water is useful, and even scraping
has been found Of great advantage.
In rough sort of way lime wash is
frequently used, the only objection be-
ing the white and glazing color 1t is.

rienced gardener for obtaining a good
crop Of onions with the least possible
labor: Sow early in March in cold
frames. Good varieties are Adriatic,
Barletta White. Prizetaker. Southport.
White Globe and Red Wethersfeld.
Seed can be sown In shallow drills
four inches apart. The seed must be
well covered and the soil pressed firm
~ with board. Keep the frames clos
ed till the young onions appear and
then give an abundance of air on all
favorable occasions. bearing in mind
that the cooler they are kept the stur-
der the growth.
Keep the surface soil constantly STIR
red about the young plants and all
weeds removed. Water thoroughly

THE SWINE INDUSTRY.
Hogs Always sure of Ready Market
at Fair Price.


Everything in the shape Of hog
from go pound stags. or roughs. down
to the fifty pound shipper is readily alb
sorbed at its full market value. A re-
sumo of hog prices at the Chicago mar
ket for the past six years offers great
encouragement 10 the producer OF the
market hogs Prices have maintained
q reasonable level. not having been sub
ject 10 such wide fluctuations as were
found in the markets for cattle and
sheep. The producer of market hogs
is always sure of ready market at a
fair price. This fact. together with the
proved ability OF market hogs TO re-
turn a maximum yield of meat for feed
consumed. makes the production of
high grade swine for meat purposes the
surest and most profitable feature of
the live stock business.
In our wide extent of territory, with
diversified conditions of soil and eli
mate, resulting in a wide range Of
crop production. we naturally find a
wide difference in the character and
quality OF the hogs produced in differ
ent sections. These types are largely
the result of local conditions. the "lard
hog of the corn belt being the sur
vival OF the fittest" and the result of
the special conditions found in the
great corn producing states.
