You might just as well let the hired
naan use the buggy as to leave it out ii
the rain and sun exposed to all kinds
Of weather.
People will generally sympathize.

Ohio woman who sought divorce from
her husband on the ground that he III

| A nearby city reports a number Of
chicks as Matching from an egg case
/ placed on the platform of a cold stor-
age plant The eggs producing these
clicks must have had good two
weeks start before the local grocer got
hold Of them.
Inasmuch as % per cent of all house
I flies are said to breed in horse manure,
we would seem to be doomed to suffer
from this pest as long as we raise
horses or at least until we adopt sys-
tematic methods of killing the larvae
| before they have a chance to hatch out.
| A little forethought exercised just
now in the matter of starting the flow
ering bulbs will insure most delight
full Whit of fragrance and floral beauty
in the cold months Of winter when 9th
erwise we would have but the memory
and anticipation Of summer flowers to
cneer the dark days.
1t would seem to be a bad bargain
| when order in the home is maintained
at a sacrifice of actual comfort ard
good feeling among the different mem

amounts to nothing. It is only justili-
able when it confers benefit on those
who are affected amounting to more
than the cost of maintaining it.
Barring a burn out or protracted
sickness, there would seem to be no
good reason why any family that has
had access to a piece of ground the
present season should not have in store
enough canned fruit and garden yege-

is no valid excuse, it is usually the
reason why ample stores are not laid
up for the winter use.
Although the United States fur
nishes only about 27 per cent of all

within a few days after arriving upon
/ British soil This is done, it is claim
ed, for sanitary reasons and also as a
i protection to the British grown stock.
A good many farmers living in north
ern Iowa and southern Minnesota are
this year realizing a nice return on the
fields which they have sown to fax.
Representative of a flax twine plant

the unthrashed flax, which means for
many farmers a return Of from $50 to-
$26 per acre The fax is pressed, snip
ped to the plant and thrashed, the seed
being saved and the fax being made
into binding Irvine.
The plan Of tho Canadian govern
ment Of hiring an expert. at present a
man from Oregon, to instruct growers
and shippers how to correctly pack
apples and the enforcement Of a law
compelling the honest packing and
grading OF apples. would seem to be
one that might be followed by our own
government with good effect While a
somewhat technically Worded bulletin
is Of considerable help to those who
can digest it, a practical demonstration
by an expert in this line would be Of
| far greater value
While old country conditions may be
such as to make it Imperative that
every inch Of ground should be put
/ to some practical and definite use in the
line Of raising stuff for the family con-
sumption, land is plentiful enough in
i this country to admit of at least four
! square rods in front Of the farm or
town home being devoted to flower
beds and lawn. That much space at
