During the last two years q number
OF rogues In different sections of the
country have been Offering a considera-
bic advance on the market price of hay
and thousands of tons have been ship
ped to these people for which the pro-
Queer received little or no return. With
hay, as with other articles of farm
produce, it is usually best to sell it as
near home as possible. In every farm
ing center there are reliable dealers
who will pay fair price for such pro-
ducts and pay spot cash for them. True,
they sell them at an advance, but it is
almost impossible for the grower to
reach these outside sources of demand.
hence he can better afford to let the
local dealer make dollar or two than
lie can to take any chances In shipping
himself, and especially to people of
whom he knows nothing. The writer
yearly sells his surplus hay to a ,ocai
llveryrnan and gets the cash on deHv-
cry. Opportunities offer to bale it and
snip to the city at an advance on the
local price, but we have figured that
our labor. time and element of risk In
the latter proposition is not warranted
by the higher price, SO we "let we'll

THE WINTER BLANKETS.
Some Housewives Prefer to Wash
When the Summer Sun Is Hot
How to Pack Away.

If you have been delayed in pack
ing away the heavy winter clothing
of the family, or in having blankets
washed, it is a good time to finish
up the job this month. Many par
ticular housewives prefer waiting for
the hottest of summer suns to dry
and sweeten freshly washed blankets,
and this is a good time to have such
work done.
Then, in laying them away, as the
moth miller has laid its eggs long
since, try wrapping articles in freshly
printed newspapers moths particuu-
larly dislike printers ink, and will
not devour anything smelling of It,
so the pa.ars, the newer the better
may be used, as they are plentiful in
almost every house.
If this is done in June, everything
should be taken out, shaken, beaten,
aired and summed, about the second
week in July; once again during Au-
gust and once more in September;
fresh papers are then used in rewrap-
ping the parcels, and when the time
comes to use the garments and bed
ding there is no awful smell to en-
dure for the ensuing several weeks

of the lower classes. She was engaged
in writing a paper on the subject when
the cook came to tell her that a rough

some breakfast.

Alden. Then, with sudden thought

She went into the kitchen. MY

Certainly, madam" said the tramp,
very elegantly, as he disappeared In
the direction of the woodpile. In about
five minutes he reappeared. I'm ready
now for that breakfast" he announced
"Have you sawed the wood in such a
short time?" asked Mrs. Alden, coming
again into the kitchen.
Eyes, madam" he answered. Then
between huge mouthfuls: Excuse me,
madam, for correcting you, but you
should say, Have you seen the
wood?"

FOR WINDOW GARDENS.
Provide Good Drainage for the Boxes
Fill About Two-Thirds Full
Of Light Soil.

Vines and trailing plants are the
best for window boxes, and only
those which endure hardship with i'm
punity are recommended. The varie-
gated vinca, German ivy, cobaea
scandens, yonicera reticulata aurea
and variegated trailing abutilon will
meet the requirements and should be
planted thickly enough to entirely
cover the front of the box.
Of the common Towering and foil
age plants these may be used:
Fuchsias, geraniums, petunias, cup
heas, ivy geranium, marguerite, blue
ageratum, yellow and some of the
fancy leaved varieties of coleus. The
common sweet alyssum and blue To-
belias are very pretty, but last a
shorter time.
Persons who have shaded veranda
not much exposed to the wind can
obtain beautiful effects by planting to-
gether red begonia and ferns of the
stronger growing kinds. Use medium
sized Boston ferns and nephrolepis
Coiudtd anu larger pldHlS vi inc hui
ly fern. For trailing ferns the varie-
gated nepeta and asparagus spren-
geria do we'll.
The window box, carefully made,
with plenty of holes bored in the bot
tom for good drainage should be filled
two-thirds full of soil when ready for
planting. Set the plants deep enough
so that their roots are we'll covered
with earth. Any unevenness on the
surface should be filled in with loose
soil after the plants are set.
Light soil, preferably one that has
been mixed thoroughly with wellrot-
ted manure is best for window box.

WHAT'S A GOOD POTATO?
Of Poor Quality When the Starch Is
Not Dense-When Center Is
Watery, Poor Cooker.

Most people, suppose, take it for
granted that the best potatoes are
the ones that contain the most starch.
On the contrary, it is the ones that
contain the most gluten, because
gluten is an albuminous food and
tstarch is much cheaper than albu-
men.
kFirst comes the skin of the potato.
In a new potato it is thin and clear;
while a corky skin indicates mature
potato, and one more likely to be
meNly. .-
SECOND is a thin layer varying from
one-eighth of an inch to one-half an
inchI in thickness. This is the glu-
ten.
Third comes the largest part of the
potatb-the starch. If this Is very
dense the potato will be mealy, but If
,non-upiform the potato will be of poor
quality.
Fourth is the very center of the
tuber. which contains little starch and
a great deal of water. If this area
branches out into the starch the po-
tato will not be a good cooker.-Gar-
den Magazine.

Wintering Fall Calves.

If the calf is worth carrying through
the winter it is certainly worth caring
for properly and by properly is meant
good food and water and proper care.
If the calf Is strong and healthy it
ought to pay well for the best atten-
tion that can be given it; first of all it
needs dry, clean place, not warmed
by artificial heat, but as warm as lack
Of dfaughts in a comfortable stable
will make it. The early days of the
calf, just after weaving, are of great
Importance to it and too much care
cannot be taken to see that the milk
given it is absolutely fresh and pure
and fed in proper quantities.
AS rule, the calf will properly take
care Of eight pounds of milk per day,
which amount can be gradually in
creased until at month old it is con-
suming twelve pounds daily. About
this time it ought also sto become in
terested in hay and after a while will
begin chewing its cud. A calf built up
in this manner during the winter will
be in excellent shape to turn out to
pasture in the springSand get most of
its living until fall, when you will have
a splendid animal, one you will be
proud to add to your herd.

DR.. L. o. Howard, entomologist of
the Department Of Agriculture, "has
just made public some startling state
ments Of the property losses caused by
insects. he believes they aggregate
over $30O,0O0,OOO a year. The Rocky
Mountain locust, or Western grasshop-
per, in 1874 ate up S1OO,OOO,OOO worth
of growing crops. The chinchbug alone
has eaten $33O,0OO,OOO worth of corn
and wheat in the Western States since
1850. AS for the mosquito, apart from
the losses believed to be due to its per-
nicious activity in the spread of yellow
fever and malaria, it is an immense
depreciator of real estate values. A
New Jersey newspaper recently esti-
mating that its determination in that
one State alone would add to its real
estate valuation not less than 100000.
1t certainly would pay to wage a con-
tinuous war of determination against
all these insects"
