A CONSERVATIVE GIVER.



Squire Flanders was detailing the
characteristics Of the late Amos Bow
den, one of his fellow townsmen, to
Mr.. Partridge, a new conner in Sey-
mouth.
'As a leading citizen, we rather ex-
pected Amos d do something handsome
for the town. said the squire; ire
member it to the tune of a few thou
sand for a libr'y, or something
"And he didnt?" asked Mr.. Par
fridge, with easy interest.
HE didn't" repeated Squire Elan
ders, dryly. "He didn't make any pub
lie bequests-at least, not any out-and-
out ones Some years ago his wife per-
suaded him to put fountain in the
square, in front of the postoffice, and
the agreement was that he was to keep
it in repair, the town to reimburse him
for half the expense.
"You don't know what our winters
are, but you will by spring the squire
continued prophetically, $50 you'll
have to take my word for it that that
much s the schools. Every year, regu-
lar, the pipes had to be dug up, and
new pieces put in where they'd froze
up and bust, and after a while we
owed Amos quite a little sum. In his
will he Cancelled that obligation, and
that was the extent Of his remember
ing the village he was born and
brought up in-and him close to tho
millionaire line"
Mr.. Partridge smiled. 'He wasn't
what could be called royal giver," he
commented.
Royal" gasped the squire. "You
couldn't have led him blindfolded up
to the word I'll tell you how Ed
yesey sized Amos up" he continued,
with happy recollection. IF Amos
was an ostrich Ed said, and was
goin' to lay an egg, he'd sure lay a
pewee's egg. An he'd call it, says Ed,
keeping on the safe side

A COLLEGE GIRLS SUNDAY.
She Dodges Church and Devofes
Her Time to Odd Jobs.


She Dodges Church and Devofes
Her Time to Odd Jobs.
1.-THE church Of the future is to be
womanless as well as manless, judg-
Ing from the. women's colleges" said
the dean of Woman's college, accord
ing to the New York Press, .for it is
only by the strictest discipline that
we can induce the girls to attend
church. They have all sorts of ex-
cuses why they should not attend d.
vine worship and it's wonderful how
nany headaches develop Sunday morn
ing. Almost every woman's college
demands a church record from every
student and it is only by keeping them
under our thumbs in this way that we
can be sure of their ever hearing ser
mon during their college course. The
college maidens dissemination to
church worship is not due to an ire
ligious spirit, but it's because she
wants the day absolutely to herself to
rest, to dream, to write letters home,
to do the thousand and one things for
which there is little time on recita-
ton days.
"Many girls look forward to Sunday
as the day when they may indulge IN
the luxury of late rising. They won't
get up until Or $50, and then they
get a chatting dish breakfast in their
rooms. They say it rests them per-
fectly and puts them in the proper con-
dition for the rush and grind which be-
gins the next day. There are rumors
that some of the students take Sunday
rs a mending day and, of course, such
a practice would be stopped at once If
We only had actual proofs of it, but
such proofs are difficult to get. Some
times it looks suspicious if skirt
binding which has been ripped all the
week appears nicely sewed on Monday
morning. but there is no reason why
the sewing might not have been done
Saturday afternoon or evening.
Sunday the girls like to forget that
they are in college and become merely
the eternal feminine. They lay in
stock of good things on Saturday and
invite two or three friends in to take
supper with them Sunday evening.
They wash out their handkerchiefs
and stocks and clean their gloves.
They get spots out of their skirts and
straighten out their bureau drawers
They rearrange the furniture in their
rooms so that it will look less monoto-
nous They go to call on some of the
town people. They reyel in kimono
in the morning, because, they say, they
are obliged to get into toys every 9th
er day in the week. They read popu-
lar fiction Of the day and discuss the
marriage question.
Sometimes they take long walks,
but these walks are always attended
by Sunday decorum and there is never
any junketing Sunday. They seem to
appreciate more the beauties Of ma
ture on that day and think less about
autumn leaves making gorgeous
decoration for the sophomore Dance
or about the perfectly grand fried
chicken and cream potatoes that are
served at some of the weather-beaten
old farm houses.
Sunday the college girl gives her
domestic instincts free rein, but she
won't go to church if she can possibly
help it,

Feeding Idle Horses.

The farm horse that has practical
~ nothing to do during the months Of
winter is costly proposition to feed
if he must be kept on the regulation
ration. 1t is really more profitable to
find some work for the animal to do
which will enable one to afford full
rations, as in the summer, for then
the horse is likely to be in much bet
ter shape to take up the spring work.
OF course, if one is located where the
horse can be on pasture more or less
during the winter months the cost Of
wintering the animal is materially re-
duced.
In colder sections one must rely on
the sheltered yard to give the horse
needed exercise and largely on the
grain one has; do not attempt to keep
the horse through the winter on rough
age alone, for the plan will only re-
suit in having rundown animal in
the spring, which will be costly ex-
pertinent. Horses are not fed nearly
the quantity of roots they should have,
and those who winter idle animals
will find it profitable to grow roots es-
pecially for them to feed with the
grain ration. In the absence of roots,
oil meal bran or some similar articles
which will keep the digestive organs
in good condition must be a part Of
the daily ration. One can get along
very nicely on feeding considerable
roughage and corn if considerable bran
or root crops is also used. Remember,
too. that coed grooming and clean,
light stable will do much toward keep
inc the animal In good health and help
to enable him to enjoy even the rough
age

For Creamery Patrons.

Complaints are loud and long from
several sections regarding the poor re-
turns from the creameries. Inyesti-
cation will show that many of them
are poorly managed, that a few are
dishonesty managed, but that the
trouble in most Of them may be traced
to the patrons themselves. Many men
are careless in their milking and in
the care of their COWS, so that d great
deal of tainted milk goes to the cream
cry and, Of necessity, reduces the val
ue Of the entire output and, very prop
erly, makes the man who delivers d
pure article much discouraged because
Of his poor return. There should be
some manner Of overcoming this trou-
BILE; how it can be done must be left
to the patrons Of each creamery; but
surely plan can be evolved whereby
the milk can be properly examined
and if dirty or tainted refused.-Ex.

Cleaning Up the Orchard.

In the older sections there are or
chards in which many Of the trees
are of little or no value, except for
frewood. Cut them out and make
cordWood of the things that have been
a source Of disappointment rather
than profit. Plant standard varieties
in their stead Windstorms may have
injured orchards badly. The broken
limbs should be taken out, the wounds
covered with a thick paint and the
brush gathered into punches and
burned.
Plum trees suffer more from injury
occasioned by Windstorms than apple
trees. Cut the tops back more or less
while the trees are small to correct
this weakness. Burn brush heaps and
piles of rubbish wherever they will
harbor rabbits, which are natural enc
my to the orchard. Don't allow any
live stock inside the orchard in win
ter. Sheep and horses are worse than
rabbits, because they will eat the trees
as well as the bark

There may not be real enjoyment In
work, but there is enjoyment In doing
ones duty. In getting up the summers
wood it is fine to have snow on the
ground SO the logs can be hauled in on
a sled. Easily loaded, easily un1oaded
and the shedding takes off some of the
hardship Of the cold and labor involved
In getting it up. There is infinite salts
faction in the knowledge that the good
wife will have dry wood to burn in
summer This has become so orthodox
on the farm that to fail to get up the
wood in winter would be almost as bad
as DENYING the Word.
