Farm Notes.

Let the boys have some fun trying
TO grow some of those odd kinds Of
vegetables this year.
Have apples in cases come to stay?
We think SO, at least for the early
kinds sent to foreign markets.
Dairymen who have no stock beets
or turnips should make the most of
their refuse apples and potatoes.
Half an hour a day of solid study
ON farm topics will make a well-in-
formed farmer in very few years.
Loafing in the grocery store to
swap gossip and expectorate upon the
stove will not pay off the mortgage.
Mulching rose bushes now with
stable manure and leaves is a good
way to insure a large crop of roses
next summer.
The really satisfactory hired man
is hard to get. When you find him,
keep him, even if you have to raise
his pay little every year.
A friend who owns large and fine
apple orchard tells us that wrapping
the trees with burlap, old sacks. is an
entire protection against rabbits.
There are lots of important sub
jects to study up during the winter
The benefits of having a silo, better
breeding, feeding and finding out the
Improbable cows are among the most
prominent.
Says an old farmer: "Those who
are making the most money now
adays are the cranberry growers and
the men who have good apple or
chards." To raise cranberries takes
capital and TO grow an orchard takes
time; but they are big money crops.
Most of the principles of modern
dairying have been established for
ten or fifteen years. Alleged discov-
cries are often nothing but a rehash
of the same old ideas. Not much is
new, but much remains to be done in
spreading the simple truth already
known.-American Cultivator.

One of the most important points
in preparing bearing apple trees for

Don't Brighten the Cows.

No man who owns a COW can afford
to have her afraid of him. 1t is a
loss to the owner every time she is
frightened. To run a COW to pasture
is throwing money away. The COW is
milk making machine. and should
be kept in the best working condi-
tion, and this condition is one of
quiet. A COW in any way worried
will not do her best Make pets of
the cows, and they will make money
for the owner. The milk of fright
ened or chased COW is poisonous. The
moral is obvious-never allow your
COW TO be maltreated if ii can be
avoided.

Vendetta ln Alperia.

A determined Arab vendetta has
just run its murderous course at Fer
mana, in Algeria. A man named Fa-
red-ben-Aissa had determined to kill
a fellow resident of one of the mount
ain villages, named Hussein-aliba-
Ahmed, and never went abroad with
out his gun. The other day the two
men, both carrying loaded guns, met
face to face in q quiet spot in the
mountains. Instantly Fared drew his
weapon to his shoulder and fired.
Hussein fell, but rising, rapidly got
his own shot in, Fared in turn falling
with a shattered thigh. He managed,
however, to nerve himself for Sec
ond and Hussein fell dead with his
chest shattered. Fared will have to
undergo amputation of the leg Lon

A writer in the Scientific American
says he has cleared his premises Of
rats and other vermin by making
whitewash yellow with copperas and
covering the stones and rafters i1 the
cellar with it. In every crevice in
which a rat might go he put the cop
peras, and scattered it in the corners
of the floor. The result was a COM
plete disappearance of rats and mice.
Since that time not rat or a mouse
has been seen near the house. Every
spring the cellar is coated with the
yellow whitewash as a purifier and
rat exterminator, and no typhoid,
dysentery or fever attack the family.

The Plety of Usefulness.

Someone once said to Cromwell:

both ways. Piety is useful, and use

Diety If 1t is meant that simply to

WHITEFOoT.

Last spring little Whitefoot made
her home In the thicket close to the
brook. She found deserted bird s.
nest and rooted It over with dried
grass, lining the inside with milk
weed down What a snug home this
was for herself and her five babies!
Soon as the children were old enough.
she took them on short trips through
the meadow, and showed them how
to make neat little cupboards under
fiat stones, where they could store
away beechnuts and other food.
When the snow comes Whitefoot will
tunnel under 1t to visit her friends.
The deeper the snow the safer she is
from her enemies.

The Major, dressing for dinner

James, that you did as 1 told you

The Souls Greatest Need.

Rest is the deepest want in the
soul of man. All men do not desire
pleasure; all men do not crave In
Itellectual food; but all men long for
rest. 1t is the need which sometimes
makes the quiet of the grave an OBJ
iect OF deep desire. There the weary
are at rest. And 1t is this which,
consciously or unconsciously, is the
real wish that lies at the bottom OF
all others.

Widespread Reading of Newspapers

The appetite of the American people
for the news of the day is astonishing.
We are spaper-reading people.
Since the institution of the rural free
delivery system by the postoffiee au
thorities very few localities in this
country are so situated that a daily
newspaper cannot reach it while the
news is fresh. and as a result nearly
every resident of rural districts wants
TO get his daily newspaper. Newspapers
are literally everywhere. could write
a pamphlet the size of one whole issue
of Printers Ink on this phase of the
subject alone. The widespread reading
of the American. daily newspaper is the
Greet result of the unequalled facilities
for distribution afforded by the most
wonderful transportation system in the
whole world to as great a degree, per-
haps, as to the fact that the american
newspapers are the best in the world
The news value of a newspaper is not
decreased. as enormously stated by
some. by a large volume of advertising
any more than its circulation is de-
creased by it. In fact. both are in
creased to a great extent The rule is
that big crculations and big adxertis-
ing patronage usually go together. AS
already stated, advertising is news, and
the more news there is in a publication
the more people want the publication.
I know of newspapers that publish as
many as 10000 to 1900 distinct and
separate advertisements in one issue
or considerably more than the immense
number OF 100000 distinct and sepa-
rafe advertisements in one year. Such

cannot be ignored or opposed by the
