How Heart Affects Watch.


Nobody would ever think that some-

something to be the matter with his

OF much uneasiness in an east end

he does his best with Il certain watch

1t came. about In this wise: The head
OF the family has a gold watch that

began to act queery. For some days it
lost time. and then it began to gain
time; again it would gain time mys-

the watch repairer three times in

From the Boston Herald

From the BOStOn 11eFAU
few years ago while keeping a sum-
mer hotel in Jaffrey, n. H., we employed
for all around work young fellow named
Johnnie Donahue. Now Johnnie was "a
small chap and not at all prepossessing

be quite beau among the maids in the
house, especially with the dishwasher
Lizzie Stone.
The second season he was with us some
of the boys of the ncighborhood were in
the hotel office. and began to chaff him
about Lizzie, and asked If ne knew she

SHADE THE POULTRY YARD.

If it Is necessary to contlne the poultry
during the summer and the enclosure
cannot be placed near the shade of build
ngs trees, try the plan Of growing some
plants just outside the fence but far
enough from it so that the fowls cannot
get at the folinge. One OF the best plants
for the purpose is the Gamma using the
cheap tall growing sorts and buying the
roots. not the seeds. Another quick grow
ing plant and one which will make an
abundance OF shade Is the castor bean
which may be grown from seeds planted
where they are to stay: that is, the young
plants cannot we'll be transferred. Even
corn set thckly will furnish some shade
quickly and ii a vine is wanted nothing is
better than the common morning glory,
the seeds being sown thick and the vines
trained along strings fastened TO the poul-

are growing erect Il rough roof of boards

and inteilisently handled. you have mine
IN the soil that will never be exhausted;
quite unlike the other mine Some time
ago at a meeting OF fruit growers there
was much disbursement because OF the
ravases of the San jose scale. the opinion
being thar orcharding was doomed. one
of the old-time growers Sprans to MS rect
and declared his belief that before the
time came when growers would begin to
abandon their fight Il lemedy would be
discovered which would successfully com
bat the scale. So Tar from being discour-
aged he purposed adding to his acreage OF
orchards There was no further talk OF
orchard abandonment at that meeting.
When the best men in the country are
working out soil problems the future OF
farming is secure: indeed. it must succeed
and thrive or our country will so to ruin.
Each OF us should do our part in carrying
out our farming operations intelligently.

which costs but trife is to cut an OPEN

will keep out the flies and insects and yet
