Most of the selling seemed to be
short stock. At the same time the
railroad list was hammered to the

surprised if there would soon be a
change for the better.

SWEEPING AND BUSTING.

A recent medical convention in Eng
land has not considered 1t beneath
professional dignity to give house
keepers and maids some general d.
rections when it comes to houseclean-
ing.
Unhygienic ways OF sweeping and
busting are unquestionably RESPONSE
BILE for many different illnesses, for
germs are in dust and dirt.
To prevent making a great dust in
sweeping use moist sawdust on bare
floors. When the room Is carpeted,
moisten a newspaper and tear 1t into
small scraps and scatter upon the car
pet when you begin sweeping.
AS you sweep brush the papers along
by the broom; they will catch most OF
the dust and hold it fast. Just as the
sawdust does on bare floors.
In dustlng a room do not use a
feather duster, because this does not
remove the dust from the room, but
only brushes it into the air. Use soft,
dry cloths to dust with, and shake
them frequently out of the window, or
use slightly moistened cloths and rinse
them out in water when you have fin
ished.

METHOD IN His soLlclTuos.
WilIie's Deep Interest In PIsymate's
Health Explained.

This story is well in keeping with
the spirit of the age, says the New
York Tribune. A Bronx man tells IL
about his little boy. The neighbor's
young hopeful was very Ill, and Willie
and the other youngsters in the block
had been asked not to make any noise
in the streets. The neighbor's bell
rang one day and she opened 1t to find
Willie standing bsshfully on her front
steps.
"How is he to-day?" he inquired in
a shy whisper.
"He's better, thank you, dear, and
what a thoughtful child you are to
come and ask"
Willie stood a moment on one foot
and then burst forth again, I'm orful
sorry Jimmy's sick"
The mother was profoundly touched.
She could find no further words to
say, but simply kissed him. Made still
bolder by the caress, Willie began to
back down the steps, repeating at in
tervals his sorrow for his playmate's
Illness. At the bottom step he halted
and looked up. "If Jimmy should die"
he asked, "kin l have his drum?"

SECRET OF GOOD DRESSING.
A Matter That Is Altogether Apart
from Vanity.

To understand the art Of good
dressing does not show vanity, but
wisdom.
And for n woman to contribute to
the charm and bea.t5 of life by un-
derstanding the undel.. ing principles
of good dressing and practice them
in the making OF her clothes is to
benefit the world and her ownself at
the same lime.
Good dressing does not necessitate
any uncomfortable compromise with
reform in dress.
More often than not the so-called
reform dress does nothing but make
its wearer conspicuous.
The question of good dressing is
more simple than reforms and move
ments. 1t does not force a woman to
take a stand and in any ostentatious
way diner f9om the prevailing modes.
All that is necessary for her to do
is to study her own color scheme, to
understand the merits and faults Of
her own body and to select for that
body the clothes that are just suited
in line and color.
To avoid useless ornamentation and
to see to IL that the color, texture and
cut of her clothes are suitable to her
occupation in life.

cially as graZers.
(26) The average cost of spring
litters of six pigs each, including the
cost of the keep of the SOW for one
year, when disposed of at a weight of
1913 pounds, was $29.42. The average
cost of fan litters of seven pigs each,
including the cost of the keep of the
SOW for one year when disposed of at
a weight of loss pounds, was $500.
The cost per hundred for spring pigs
from weaving to a weight of $50
pounds was $2.70, and of fall pigs fed
through the winter to weight of 1876
pounds, was S2.77.
(27) The average cost of raising
cattle to one year Of age was S19 per

which time they averaged 1,037

(2S) Sheep can be kept on irri.
gated farms at a good profit when hay
sells for S. per ton, grain SIC per ton,
and wool and mutton at 20 and Az

these prices there was greater profit
in pasturing the land with sheep than
in raising alfalfa and selling it.

ADAPTATION
OF PLANTS
BY PROF., Z. p. SANDSTEN.

We are in the habit of speaking of
adaptation as something entirely
apart from variation. Adaptation
stands for the slow changes induced
by the environment. II the existing
plant forms are largely the result of
adaptation to the ever-changing en-
vironment, then we have strong evil
dence that this adaptation or varia.
ton Of plants can be utilized to- con-
siderable advantage by the horticul-
turist to acclimatize plants, which are
not hardy to our climatic conditions.
l fully realize that this view will be
criticized and derided by those who
have experienced losses and disap-
pointment in the growing of fruit
trees not adapted to our soils and
climate. 1t may, to be sure, require
longer period of time than is al
lotted single person, but we should
bear In mind that we are not working
for this generation, but for the gen.
erations to come. Further, / am not
quite convinced that the sad expert.
ences OF the past are of sufficient argu.
ment for us to draw the sweeping con-
clusion that results cannot be accom-
+, plished within the span of one per-
sons life. The large number of old
eastern apple trees now growing in
the eastern and southern parts of
Wisconsin are eloquent witnesses to
the kind of adaptation have spoken
or Not only this, but those trees are
old and have stood the test of the
most severe winters on record. l do
not mean TO say that eastern varieties
can be grown successfully all over the
state, but / do say and believe that
certain sections along Lake Michigan
are adapted to many of these var
| ieties.

PUT IT IN GOOD LIGHT. \
One Comforting Thought In the Death
Of the Chickens.

A lady who had recently moved to
the suburbs was very fond of her first
brood of chickens. Going out one az.

charge of her eight-year-old boy. Re-
fore her return thunderstorm came
up. The youngster forgot the chicks
during the storm, and was dismayed
after II passed to find that half of
them mad been drowned. Though
fearing the wrath to come, he thought
best to make a clean breast Of the
calamity, rather than leave It to be
discovered

his mother had returned, mamma, six
of the chickens are dead"
Dead" cried his mother. six!
How did they die?"

The corset cover that saves sewing
on insertion. then beading, and then
lace, should be welcomed, and one is
here shown that any girl could make
UP for herself and use the yard left
from a thin lawn or batste waist. The
model Is greatly in demand because 1t
is so simple and involves so little
labor. TIE girl who is stout and
breads to put anything extra around
her hips, need not put on the little
peplin which is really only to protect
the corset below the waist line. In
the summer when white skirts are
worn this is not necessary.
