they are not much on heat. The fire.

1t is not best to stir up the soil on
the slopes and hillsides in the fall, as
the loosened soil is more readily wash
ed away by the melting SHOWS and the
rains. However, whenever it Is posi-

ward tightening the spring work as
possible.

A number of telephone lines are con-
ferring a practical favor on their rural
patrons by sending out at certain
hour Of the day weather forecasts fur
nished by the nearest federal station
for the ensuing twenty-four hours. The

formation so furnished is made practi-
cal use of in the line Of planning the

There are too many homes in which
there is not as great measure Of pre-

associates whom the daughter in the

the company which is insisted on for

This is all wrong and matter which
in all right, justice and purity should
be remedied.

If any Of our readers are planning to
have an early hotbed it is good idea
to put a supply Of rich black dirt in
the cellar or some other place out Of
the way Of the frost, so that it will be
ready for use early next spring. While
the weather sometimes permits the
getting of supply out Of doors sufn-
GENTLY early, yet many times 1t is not
so, and an exasperating delay is the
result.

The value of farm lands for the year
1905 was reported as nearly $23,O00,-
100000, an increase over 1900 Of some
thing over $6,OOO,OOO,OO0, the increase
alone being equal to nearly half the
combined capital Of our railroads. This
all goes to show that the gross earn
ings Of the farm go to form one of the
largest items in our national income.

While lightning rods properly made
and put up, with wires properly
grounded, doubtless do serve as pro-
lection from damage by lightning to
the buildings on which they are erect

shown from the fact that insurance
companies do not make reduction in

1t is the easiest thing in the world to

The agricultural departments are
ever testing our different soils and eli
mate by introducing new fruits, vege-
tables and fodder plants. The results
in most cases are most satisfactory,
and we are thus enabled to utilize con-
ditions which otherwise would bring
us naught. Many of these plants come
from tropical or semitropical climes.

Cats, like some people, sometimes
outlive their usefulness and become all
around nuisances. They run in bad
company and quarrel and fight and
have not the least spark of ambition or
enterprise about them. II they would
stop there it wouldn't be so bad, but
they take especial delight in destroying
the nests and killing the very birds
which are the most useful to the farm
err They are not half as eager for the
English sparrow.

Dispose of your cream during the
cold weather while it is fresh as well
as sweet. Because the cream keeps
sweet longer we are apt to think it
does not need the same careful atten-
ton, but that is a mistake. Separator
cream keeps sweet much longer than
that which is SKINNED from the can,
but IL not carefully covered gets strong
and bitter.

Experiments carried on by the gov
eminent show that when meat is cook
ed in water it loses from 10 to so per
cent In weight and when roasted from
13 to 81 per cent. When boiled the
meat loses practically all Of its organ
ic extractives, which constitute or form
the basis of its flavor as well as a very
large per cent Of Its nutritive value.
But when roasted 1t retains practical
ly all of its flavor and most of its nu-
tritive value. The latter method of
cooking would therefore seem to have
much to commend II.

A method that has been found ef-
fective in checking damage done by
the strawberry leaf roller, a pest that
is proving serious one In many OF
the strawberry districts, consists in
moving the vines closely as soon as
the last of the fruit has been harvest
ed, allowing them to dry for two or
three days and then scattering sufi-
Client straw over the bed, so that with
the dry vines the bed can be burned
over clean. This treatment destroys
all eggs and insects and does not dam
age the bed, as one might be led t.
think.

While the western inland markets
furnish meats, vegetables, milk and
some other food products at a consid-

eastern markets, yet the latter have a
distinct advantage when it comes to

shrimps, clans, etc.

Much loss from insect damage and
the depredations of rats and mice Is
realized by the careless storing Of
grain in insecure temporary quarters
until it can be disposed of at good
price. 1t does not pay to do this unless
you have means to take care of it, as
the loss Is greater than it would be to
sell at first price.

Some of the abandoned coal mines in
eastern states are being turned into
underground gardens. In these gar
dens mushrooms, lettuce and celery are
raised for market. Acetylene gas is
used as substitute for the sunlight
and is kept burning day and night in
order to sooner bring the plants to ma
turity. This way of gardening is said
to be successful, though it Is still In
the experimental stage.

Meats put up in brine seem to be
most satisfactory for the farm home
use. They are more easily handled in

in years gone by In some portions Of

spend $1,500,OO0,OO0 annually for the
meat they consume, or about one-third
Of the whole amount expended for raw

would seem that good deal more time
and attention might with profit be de-
voted by people in general to a some
what thorough study of the subject
with view to determining what meats
nOmical, aud to ascertaining those
methods Of cooking which will give the
consumer the largest possible per cent
Of the nutritive value of the meats

Constitutional tiredness with some
folks is just charitable designation
of nothing but Unborn and cultivated
laziness, while with many others it is
the result of run down condition of
body and nerves and can only be rem
edied by thorough rest, sleep and recu-
peration. This is the situation with
many housewives whom incessant
household cares and responsibilities
never permit to have the rest they
need. with the result that body and
mind finally give out and an untimely
death overtakes them, when thorough
rest and sleep at critical times would
have enabled them to enjoy added hap
by and useful years Of life.

The legend "Pure Maple Sirup,"
which has been employed in the past
to cover a multitude Of receptions In
the shape of treacle, glucose and corn
cob connections. will be hereafter used
deal more sparingly as result OF
the passage Of the federal pure food
law. From now on nothing but the
pure stuff will bear the above label,
which will very likely fetch much
higher price than the hybrid articles
which in the past have been masquer-
aiding under false colors, while the
bogus articles will sell at much lower
figure than heretofore All kinds Of eu-
phonious names will likely be en-
ployed to break the force OF the fact
that given strip has not been near

which have a clear title will bear the
pure food label Pure Maple Sirup."
