1t is to be hoped that the new federal
pure food law can be construed SO as
to take in adulterated grass seeds as
well as added eggs and coal tar rasp-
berry jam.
Vegetables, like meats, are never as
good after being frozen nor do they
keep as we'll The squashes will prove
this to be true if they are housed or
covered before being frozen.
If you are dependent upon the egg
money it win pay you better when
prices are steady and uniform to feed
the chickens good egg producing
ration rather than let them forage for
a living.
There are few people in this world
who are smart enough to "get rich
quick legitimately. The average per
son who is today well fixed can recall
numerous discouragements and dis
heartening experiences before reaching
his present state of prosperity.
A New Hampshire apiarist is au-
thority for the statement that If one
holds his breath a bee cannot sting
him. While this may be true, there
will be comparatively few whose Gu
riosity as to the truth of the state
ment will cause them to take the risk
involved.
Some Of the leading educators of the
day are discussing the problem of in
creasing the number of school months
to ten, claiming that SO much vacation
is demoralizing to the youth. The man
on a strike and the boy on vacation
are usually employed in the same
workshop.
A simple yet common method of
fastening the process of making"
vinegar is to add gallon of strip and
three or four yeast cakes to each bar
rel of cider after it has worked as
much as it win on its own account.
Good vinegar can be produced in this
way in the course of two or three
months.
Lonesomeness has been listed as an
objection to farm life. 70 the enter
prising. industrious man or woman this
is no barrier. No time is left for this
feeling after the days work is done.
Either they are too dead tired to be
lonesome or they are glad of a chance
to read the papers. work in the garden
or enjoy each other.
Observation leads us to believe that
there is enough waste in the ordinary
stack of clover hay of eight or ten
tons to more than pay for a stout can
vas cover to protect the same. Where
there is an abundance of slough grass
the canvas may be dispensed with, but
so much does a stack of clover hay
settle that unless it is protected in one
of the two ways mentioned above the
loss is bound to be large.
A fifteen or twenty minutes rest and
relaxation in the middle of hard
afternoons work will often be Of more
value to the good housewife, touching
the matter of progress with her work,
than an hour and half spent at the
tasks themselves after the point of
fatigue and exhaustion has been reach
ed. A chair with an adjustable back in
which one can recline at an angle of
forty-five degrees is an excellent place
for these short rests.
While their presence along the Dor
der of the farm may result in less
ened yield in the crops that grow adj
jacent, we somehow deplore the utili-
tarianisn that causes the big fifty
year-old cottonwoods, elms and naples
to fall by the woodnan's ak. This is
but one illustration out of many which
90 to prove that as a people we pos
sess scant respect for the things
which do not have a very definite
practical or money value.
We were assured the other day by an
employee of a large railroad company
that hereafter there viii be absolutely
no discrimination in the matter Of a
distribution of cars to the patrons Of
the railroads, orders having been sent
out to treat all alike to accommodate
the man who wants but one car just
as cheaply and with as little delay as
another who may want thousand
The enforcement of this order will re-
suit IN a condition which will be very
