Devil grass Is a name applied to variety of tough and wiry grass which grows quite extensively in localities along the Missouri river, the seed heads being provided with awns or hooks in such a way that the grass often becomes matted so firmly as to trip one up in passing through 1t, while birds as large as the jay hare been found inextricably tangled in its clutches.

An introduction of the cash system on the farm and in the country and city home would in many instances eff feet a decided economy in the yearly expenditures. An item always seems larger in cash than 1t does charged on the books. Moreover, cash means an immediate and not a postponed set clement of account.

There is just one thing that is more hopeless from the standpoint of utility than a scrawny, scabby calf with disordered alimentary canal, and that is the boy who acquires the cigarette habit before he arrives at the age of sixteen. In the latter case the hide isn't even good for shoe leather.

The fall months offer a first rate time for cleaning up the wood lot. The growth of grass and other vegetation is dead and settled to the ground and gives a clear field for work, while the wood that is good for anything at all is quite likely to be dried out. Allowed to lie on the ground in the snow and dampness of winter. it will deteriorate in quality and lose much of its fuel value.

Although sonic superstition attaches in some minds to the time of planting potatoes, mighty little attention is paid to meteorological or other signs when it comes to digging the tubers. They are an assured fact at digging time and no guesswork is involved.

THE BOY AND GIRL IN SCHOOL

THE BOY AND GIRL IN SCHOOL.
 Within the past few weeks a great and splendid army of boys and girls have resumed their work in the rural and city schools of the country and are now devoting themselves to the mas tering of tasks and lessons and the forming of those habits of thought and character that are going to largely de- termine the type of the coming genera ton. It is a lamentable fact that in this formative period young people are not provided with a wisdom and fore
 sight that will enable them to judge of their present conduct and life in the light of their future condition and welfare. This, however, cannot be. The best that ,can be done is for par ents and teachers to suggest and en- phasize as wisely and forcefully as may be the importance of making the most of these early years, which, while they may contain relatively little ia the way of positive achievement, possess untold importance when viewed in the light of their possibilities. A les son that boy or girl cannot learn too soon is that whatever they may achieve In life will come through their own effort; tlrat they must stand 0n their own feet and do their own work; that what they get out of later life for themselves and other folks will core spond quite closely to what they put into the early years in school.

AS a result of experiments which have been made it has been found that the loss of butter in the separation of milk at 90 degrees F. is 1.3 per cent. at 75 degrees it is 3 per cent, while at GO degrees 1t has been found to be n per cent. The findings here given would seem to show the wisdom Of separating the milk as soon as possi- ble after it Is taken from the COW. Or when it is as near as possible at anl- nal heat, which is about 100 degrees.

A twenty mile erUss country trip the Uther day took the writer over a stretch of some six miles which has been given a careful treatment with the King road drag at intervals during the past season. The road was firm and smooth, and the repeated drag gings which had made 1t had given it good slope to either side, so that when rain does fall it runs off readily and allows the roadway to dry quick ly. It was also noticeable that the same enterprise which had resulted in giving the road careful treatment had also seen to it that the roadsides and fence rows were carefully moved and trimmed.

Tourists in the National Yellowstone park tell of an interesting trio of griz- zly bears which have come to be known as the flying squadron from the fact that they go from camp to camp in the park in a routine order in search of the delicacies which are thrown out as waste at the different hotels, some of which are thirty miles apart. In spite of the fact that the silver tip Is & biocky, heavy type and in his native haunt more or less delib- crate in movement, this trio after sort ing over the garbage pile in the rear of the hotel in one camp will take & swinging trot, which they keep up without interruption, turning up in a very short time at the next grub sta
 ion, where they are given undisputed possession by their black and cinna- mon cousins and are treated with due respect by the tourists who may be about. A friend of the writer who re- lates the above fact tells of a black bear cub that in some way got its foot stuck In a tomato can thrown out OF the garbage heap at the rear of one of the hotels and made a lively roar on being unable to extricate it. The mother, supposing her cub in serious trouble, ran to the rescue and bit the offending can, but in such a way that It was but the more securely fastened to the foot. No one dares to go to the little fellows relief. and as q result he has come to be known az the boar with the tin can slipper

The killing of the peach crop in Kan sas this year by frosts seems to have been no myth. It has been stated on pretty good authority that there are Just seven peaches in that state this year, and these grew on tree situat- ed between two buildings about seven feet apart in the city of Douglas. The tree seems fo have grown from a pit which had been tossed from a nearby window, and, while the location as'- forded does not seem to have been fa- Torable on several accounts, it was such as to shelter 1t from the very
 heavy freezes which occurred early in May through the central and south ern states. All fruit set in trees out in the open in yards and orchards was wiped out by the frost referred to-
 We once knew q man who was al
 ways uneasy if he saw his wife devot- fn4 any of her spare time to reading or resting, no matter what shape her work might be in, and on such occa- sions he was likely to suggest some job CT other to occupy her time, seem- ing to begrudge every moment she spent in rest or self improvement. In the course of time this driving disposi- tion, which made the man obnoxious to all the members of his own family, brought bis own life to an end through overwork and lack of rest While his death was mourned in a way, it came as a welcome relief to his immediate family, who, after the funeral obse- Quies were over, were able to take a little uninterrupted leisure. There may not be many such types, but they certainly do make life a burden for those whose lot ts cast with their owns

A Pacific coast transportation com .pany, operating electric railways to several beach resorts near Los An geles, Cal, has lately imported Go;0oo sleepers from the island of Formosa. These are hard wood, most of them being of nara, a wood much used ir the east for interior use. The com pany has found that the cost of the 'sleepers at Los Angeles, after the duty has been paid, is but trifle more than that of Oregon pine.

AS illustrating the way in which one fruft will gradually displace another in popular consumption 1t is interest ing to note the way in which raw ap- pies have been supplanted by bananas among the laborers in London, Liver pool and other commercial centers in England. In the year 1903 the total imports of fresh fruits into the United Kingdom amounted to $44, ,532, ,991, of which SIS, ,86e, or 30.39 per cent, was expended for apples, while bana- nzs represented but 1907 per cent of the total. In the years succeeding the imports of apples decreased until il 1906 they amounted to but $S,533, 7S2 or 19.14 per cent of the total ($44, ,5I6.- 83S), while bananas had risen to POTS per cent. The fact noted is attributed to the putting of West Indian bananas on the British market at a low price and the further fact that they are quite uniform in price throughout the year, while apples vary greatly with the season and the scarcity of the crop.

Tn the orchard of any size shed of some sort conveniently located will be found useful during the harvest sea son. Here empty and full barrels, baskets and ladders may be stored temporarily, while in case of a wet spell the barreling may go on with fruit that has been picked ahead. The writer built such a shed this season and found it very convenient. It was 15 by 45 feet, with six foot posts at the caves and twelve foot posts at the center. The frame was made entirely from trees cut from the wood lot, but ternut being used for posts, red elm and ash for Tidgepole and plates and about seventy small ironwood trees for rafters. Fourpenny nails were driven into these at intervals of about two feet for the purpose of securing the basswood and elm shoots, which were placed across the rafters for the pur- pose of holding the thatch of long grass and weeds.
