Adams Vocabulary.

There IS some curiosity as to the
size of Father Adams vocabulary. As
he had to invent to fit the necessities
that arose, 1t undoubtedly was what
might be called working vocabulary.
Presumably it didn't equal in dimen-
sions that of Mother Eve. She needed
a larger one. Il made up new word
today. Ad.' she would say, and then
the two would talk II over and perhaps
smooth ii down or polish 1t mp. And
maybe Adam would think up new
word while he paraded up and down In
his bare feet through the chunk of
Jungle that they called front yard try
ing 10 get one Of the baby boys to
sleep 1t didn't take much to suggest
new words in those days When Adam
studied his toe on stepped Oh a hornet
his vocabulary would promptly receive
several additions that were OF the
more forcible than elegant class And
Eve had her special words, too, and
she had way OF repeating them q
great many times to Adams profound
discontinue. No, Adams vocabulary
wasn't big enough to deserve the name
Lit wasn't even near yocabula-y--it
was just a bunch Of half baked words

Michael X. Boyer, one Of the nestors
Of poultry journalism, has the follow
ing nuggets of wisdom in the Farm
Journal:
Regularity in the performance Of
the work is important.
System simplfies the work and
brings order out of chaos.
A reputation for honest goods and
honest dealing is bound to bring sue
cess.
Close attention and thorough work
will prevent disaster and save time,
labor and money.
The poultry raiser who Is constantly
complaining about "bad luck" is adj
vertising the fact that his methods are
at fault.
Take volunteered advice with "a
grain of salt" Wise men do not need
to advertise their wisdom No one
knows 1t all.
Some, one once said, and truthfully,
too, that poultry culture is made up of
chain of little things, one link out of
place making bad kink in the whole
chain.

How to Apply Wax PoIishes.

Wax polishes specially prepared for

brush and then rubbed briskly with a
hair or felt brush and. to get finished
luster, with soft cotton cloth, says
the Washington Star. Be sure to brush
out the dust before putting calf shoes
away, for they are usually so oily that
gritty dirt works into the pores Of the
leather and In time cracks it. When
buying polishes ask for one to be used
on calfskin, for those prepared for
velour, box or Russia feathers will
crack the calf just as the backing
made specially for calfskin will split

feathers should not he shined. Instead
a paste made Of glycerin, lampblack
and turpentine must be worked into
the leather so 1T will retain the oily
appearance so much admired now.

To secure market for his feathers
the poultryman should ascertain the
names Of the bedding manufacturers in
his nearest large city and write ia
them for quotations. All feathers
should be dry picked and should be
kept free from blood. Tail and wing
feathers should be kept separate from
the body feathers. 1t is not necessary
to dry or bake the feathers; in fact, ii
this is done they will not be salable

the country to be thirty-five eggs to

IF they are pressed after every sec.
Ond or third wearing, the knees will not

THE actual pressing is very easy
The seams at the sides of the trousers
should be carefully matched before the
trousers are laid on the ironing board
This done. damp cloth should he plac-

ing caused by the wet cloth and the
heat from the iron shrinks the stretch

bagginess. After this is done hang
them to dry thoroughly before being
worn
Grease spots should, of course, be
removed with gasoline, naphtha OF
some cleansing fluid and the material
well brushed and aired before being
pressed or the dirt will be ironed into
the cloth and the entire labor lost.
