WOMAN BEATS MACHINE,

Il have called" said the agent of the
automatic housekeeping apparatus, as
related in the Detroit Free Press, "to
try to interest you in our method of
cleaning house. We have a machine
here that will do all your work.
"Will your machine wash the outside
of the upstairs windows?" exclaimed
the woman.

''Will it wash, stretch and iron the

"Will it paper the little room in the
hall and clean the wall paper in the

"No, it is not intended
"Will it prevent my husband from
walking over a clean floor with his
dirty feet?"
mo, madam, but"
"Will it take down the parlor stove
and put up the ice chest?"
NO but we are prepared"
"Will it wash the winter bedclothes,
put camphor in my furs, make my
daughter help with the dishes, keep my
husband from grumbling about the cold
meals, persuade him to do the garden
ing, keep the dog out of the parlor,
paint the kitchen floor, gid the gas
fixtures and the picture frames, hang
new portieres, carry the ashes out of
the cellar and find time to make new
dresses for three girls and summer
night shirts for my husband?"
"No, madam, of course, our machine
has limitations"
Limitations! OF course it has. Ev-
cry machine has, but man expects a
woman to have none. Limitations, in
deed! If it had any limitations it
wouldn't be long before this house
would go to ruin. It will be a long
time before you men'll make machine
to take a woman's place or do half the
work. Good day."

Use of Coal Ashes.

While coal ashes contain no fertiliz-
Ing value they are certainly useful OH
the farm and should be saved. They
are not entirely yalueless in the SOIL
for they will materially assist in max
ing a stiff clay soil more workable if
we'll mixed with it. The best use for
coal ashes, however, is in the filling
In Of wet spots, sitting them and using

Hauling HAY.

1t is a very desirable thing to be able
to haul all the hay into the barn the
same day it is cut The worriment and
anxiety consequent upon the liability of
a storm before morning are thus avoid
ed, and experience has taught that hay
having no more than three or four
hours sun will come out in the spring
perfectly sweet and IN fine condition
for the cattle. In adopting this plan it
is well to keep the hay constantly
stirred with a tedder. There has been
a fear of putting hay into some barns
that contain a noticeable amount of
water, but if it is properly packed by
being evenly distributed over the NOW,
each fOrkful trodde2 upon, and the
barn kept closed as much as possible,
the result will probably be gratifying.

New Varieties of Potatoes.

Many varieties of potatoes come and
go, and, but for the introduction Of new
varieties, potatoes would soon be scarce.
This is due to the careless selection
Of seed. All the tubers of a crop are
scld for seed, when only the best
should be selected. If only the largest
tubers from the thriftiest and strong
est plants were retained for seed, there
would be an improvement in the old
varieties instead of deterioration in
quality. But as long as seed potatoes
bring good prices, there will be both
good and inferior seed used.

Her Valuation.

Aunt Evelyn took little Anna to the
French church and gave her a nickel to
put in the alms-basin.
Anna looked at the coin with evident
satisfaction, and then, nesting close to
her she whispered, "How much are you
going to give"
Her aunt, opening her hand, dis
played a quarter of a dollar.
"Oh!" exclaimed the child excited1y,
"don't do it, it isn't worth it."-Lippin-

Vines in the BARNARD.

The barn should never be built near
the house, and wherever it is, it should
be kept as sanitary as the house itself.
A country barnyard should be as neat
and tidy as the dooryard. There is no
reason why vines should not grow over
the walls and fences, and trees shade
the inclosed animals. 1t is possible to
have lilacs and mock oranges growing
around the barn, as freely as about
the shrubbery. The animals are not
any less happy, and one can pick great
punches for oneself and friends.

in the British Isles is equal to the

Apply a Good Fertilizer.

The value of vegetables depends
largely upon quick growth, and if
crops are not growing well some quick
acting fertilizer like nitrate of soda,
guano or poultry droppings, should be
worked into the soil close to the roots.
Frequent cultivation of the soil with
the cultivator, rake or hoe will often
be all that is necessary.

Export orders for medium sorts were

Excessive receipts resulted in a de-

liberal orders, their purchases did not
make enough impression on the heavy
