in Professor Pernot's new gaso-

All went we'll with the fishers,
who had proceeded to the mouth
of the harbo-, when the engine

party was rapidly being carried
out to sea. Tits Equals of dis

Wellender got his boat ready and

A FEW TIMELY DON'TS.
What the Farmer Should Remember
Not to Do.

Don't throw forks farelessly on the
floors of passageways in barns. That
Is a sort of carelessness that may al
most be classed as criminal.
Don't neglect to keep all wheeled
vehicles well creased. A wheel that
cries out for lubricant is a good many
pounds added to the load of your
horse.
Don't throw forks carelessly on the
and other trimmings and refuse from
orchard, garden and truck patch, for
thereby you destroy many harmful
insects and seeds.
Don't invest any money in gold
mines, coffee plantations, copper
works and the like, thousands of miles
from your home. and managed by
men you have G BY taking
this advice you may possibly miss the
opportunity of getting enormously
rich, but it is altogether likely that by
needing 1t you will save money enough
to buy that piano your daughter has
been wanting or the new buggy you
promised your son If he would stick
to the farm.
Don't allow any line fence squabblo
or any family difference to come up 10
spoil your Thanksgiving feast. lr is
always a wise rule TO think twice be-
fore you speak once: and If you will
take the pr~ecaution to think three
times, you are pretty sure to get
through life without uttering any
harsh words, and hat means a serene
and sweet existence which is, after
all, the only thing worth while.
Don't speak in sharp, peremptory
tones to your children. You won't al
low the hired man to use such tones
TO the horses lest it makes them ner-
! vous, nor 10 the cows lest it interfere
with their milk production. Your
IONS and daughters are of more value
than many horses, or the cattle upon
a thousand hills.-Farm Journal.

Ceremonies Of Introduction.

There are few people who have not
suffered at one time or another by
the of-hand manner in which they
were introduced TO others. This kind
of introduction is likely to embarrass
some people, just as the careful and
gracious introduction is one OF the es-
sentials in putting strangers at ease.
In introducing people the greatest
care should be taken TO
both names distinctly. If one name
has escaped the ~introducer's
ii is safest and best to excuse oneself
and ask for the forgotten name. The
most delicate sensibilities should not
be wounded by such a slip OF memory.
for who is there who has not at some
time OF another forgotten a we'll
known name?
The debatable questions as 10
whether a woman should shake hands
with a man who is being presented
to her has been solved by making il
only obligatory for the woman TO offer
her hand 10 the men when the occa.
sion is informal and the man is being
introduced TO IN person at a time

LIVESTOCK NOTES.

The best medicine you can give a
sick hog is 10 stop feeding till he
shows some signs that he wants some
thing to eat.
The end in view in keeping sheep
is profit, and the question is how best
to conduct the business TO obtain a
profit from the growing OF wool or
mutton.
AS far as can be done, the flock
should be selected and culled SO that
there will be but one grade of wool
well-treated fleece-as no matter how
mcritorious each may be, the best
prices cannot be realized.
To know how TO ARE for sheep so
as to make them grow the largest
and finest fleeces and the most Wig
orous lambs Is the most important
par. of flock management.
Don't want your horses to have the
heaves? No, of course not. Then
stop feeding them dusty hay. If you
must use it. sprinkle it well with
water, with a little salt added 10Y and
then.

Arrangement for
Christmas Cards.
FASTING Them on Decorated Screen
Gives the Best Results-Direc-
tons for the Work.

It Is difficult to obtain an artistic
effect with Christmas cards on a
screen. The result is apt to be garish.
but II n careful selection is made, a
fair measure of success may be
reached. If the background Is a good
tone, and supplementary bronze
green, tan, wood-brown, Indian red.
or a soft old blue, a border of the
plain color may be left all around
with advantage. If the screen Is deco
rated, or filed with lowered panels,
let the cards conie up to the edges OF
the frame. They should be neatly
trimmed, the white margins cut of.
and arranged carefully with regard
TO colors, shapes and subjects. Lay
them out on a table or on the floor
first to study the effect. Secure them
to the screen with paste, having a
clean cloth at hand TO prevent smudg.
ing tho surfaces. When the panels
have been filled, n coat of picture
varnish may be applied over the en-.
tire surface of the cards. This must
be laid on quickly with a large brush,
as 1t dries almost Immediately. II
can be bought at any paint shop. II
the screen is filled with gathered silk
or muslin, tiny metal fasteners can
be used for attaching the cards. New
ones may be substituted for old ones
from time to time, thus lending q
fresh interest to the collection.

SPRAYING AND DIPPING CATTLE.
Latter Process the Only Method Where
Many Cattle Have to be Treated.

In South Africa is a disease very
similar to Texas fever but the result
of a different germ. 1t Is, however,
spread In the same as IS
Texas fever, by means of the tick. The
stockmen. therefore, are fighting the
ticks, and various methods are being
used In this warfare. One OF these
is the dipping of the cattle, as in this
country, and another method Is the
spraying of the cattle. In this spray
ing. kerosene is used. and to 1t is
sometimes added arsenic. to make the
effect of the spraying more pro-
nounced. Kerosene mixed with water
Is said to be harmless to the skin OF
the cattle and to cost only about four
cents per head. The cost of dipping
is not much more, but the cost OF the
dipping plant is considerable. This
Is the claim of the men that practice
the spraying and believe in II. The
men that hold to the dipping as the
most effective means state their side
of fthe argument thus:
Spraying requires five times as
much time as does dipping . On a
small farm spraying may be the
cheaper, but on a large ranch where n
thousand cattle must be treated. the
matter of time is a great one. II re-
quires as long to spray 200 cattle as
it would require to dip a thousand.
Dipping destroys the ticks much o
effectively than does spraying. For
this reason the dipping arrangement
has displaced the spraying apparatus
on nearly all cattle ranches that carry
large numbers OF cattle.
