A farm woman In Pennsylvania once
said: Il never hear anyone sing The
Old oaken Bucket without shud-

cooking md washing for n family of
six with no other water supply than
what she had hauled out OF n well
nearly 80 feet deep by means OF
bucket Baths In winter were almost
out Of the question, and even in the
summer they were regarded as an oc.
casioa of more than ordinary impor-
tancs, for which preparations had 20

The following are excerps from u
letter written to friends In Gilmore
City. Iowa, by Mrs. Whittlesey, VINO
recently visited this section. Ihe
letter, In full, was published In Ihe
Gilmore City Globe.
Cactus and sage brush, now ana
then cabin and windmill, which, by
the way, need scarcely any tower, was
all we saw till within perhaps hfty
miles OF Sugar City; then We came 10
large fields OF alfalfa ready for the
third cutting. and is beautiful dark
green color and makes the finest honey.
There were large fields OF sugar beets
and now and then large orchard.
We got our first glimpse OF the
mountains from the car window near
Sugar City, which is Just this side OF
Ordway, from which place We saw
them several times In the early morn
ing. They are scarcely ever discernible
through the day. Pixies Peak is dome
shaped and from this distance looked
silver gray or dark purple, and one
morning lovely pink; but II looks
from SO far away, more like cloud
than anything so substantial as IL
really Is. Around here they raise the
beets, alfalfa and Ordway pink meat
cantaloupes, new industry and a new
melon, which is TO eclipse the famous
Rocky Ford musk melon, and is GER

We found Harry and Winnie In n
tent in the midst OF a patch Of two or
three acres OF these melons, which
we're so thick on the ground one could
scarcely set a foot down. They were
busily engaged in wrapping them in
paper and Grating them up. We took
them by surprise and were nearly TO
the tent before they knew us, our let
ter not having reached them. We
visited with all OF the friends there
and all wished to be remembered to
friends In Gilmore. Fred Cook. VIII
Cook, I'll Donald, and Mrs. Learned
are all within a few minutes walk
from Harry's while Mr.. and Mrs. A.
Cook are nicely situated In Ordway,
which is increasing in size very fast.
They have an immense new reservoir
covering nearly four acres for water to
supply the town. The climate at this
time OF year is fine and everything
tastes like "when you were boy"
From here we went to Pueblo and
took trip TO Canon City, where we
stayed over night, at the foot OF
peak. The foot hills all
the way to this place were covered
with loose rock varying In size from
pebbles to freight cars and standing

The New Farmer.

The Presidents address last month
at the Michigan State Agricultural Col
lege Is so clear an expression of the
conditions of modern farm life that
future historian may turn to 1t to
read our times. All national leaders
have told us that the farmer Is the
backbone Of the nation. Washington
and Jefferson were farmers, and good
ones. The Illinois that bred Lincoln
was one vast farm-Chicago was then
only a small town. The President of
to-day, not bred in farm life, although
he has been practical ranchman, is
the first to express the unity between
farm labor and all other kinds. The
farmer to him Is an expert mechanic
and business man, whose problems are
precisely those of the workman in the
town, who depends for success on in
dustrial and social cooperation. He
must be an educated, aggressive par
ticipant in the work Of life, competing
with the farmer Of Europe, inviting
to his workshop Of many acres the
most skilful young men, learning from
technical students and the practical ex-
perience Of his neighbors the best that
Is known about his business. City
workers, meeting in the friction of
crowded life, have always learned their
craft from one another. The farm
er has until recently been In social
and business isolation. Now he Is a
citizen Of the world, often closer In
point Of time, to the nearest city than
his grandfather was to the farmers Of
the adjacent town. The difference be-
tween the townsman and the country
man in educational and intellectual
opportunities and in Industrial respon-
sibility is rapidly diminishing. That
means the diminishing of the old real
or fancied disadvantage of farm life
which drove ambition and initiative to
the city for opportunity to show them
selves. The advantage remains and
increases, for no matter how near to-
gether modern Instruments of unity,
the trolley and telephone, bring city
and country, broad acres still remain
broad, and produce the conditions Of
free and independent life.-Youth's
Companion.

NEW WEED CUTTER 1t Is combined
weed cutter and gatherer, as shown In
the accompanying illustration. The
cutter is adjustable, and is operated by
a lever which terminates close to the
handle Of the implement. The gatherer
Is placed In the rear of the cutter. In
front of the cutter are pair of small,
light wheels. 1t will be seen that after
bringing the implement close to the
weed a pull on the lever is all that is
required to operate the cutter. AS the
implement Is pushed on to the next
spot, the weed is gathered up by the
rake and carried on.

Testing Dairy Cows,

The Illinois station publishes a cir
cular which emphasizes the import
ance Of studying the production of in
dlyidual cows and contains records for
one year Of eighteen dairy herds in
Illinois, including 221 cows.
The average year production was
5,619.99 pounds Of milk and 226.G3
pounds of butterfat
The best herd averaged 35O.17
pounds Of butterfat and the poorest
142.05 pounds.
The best ten cows averaged 388.75
pounds Of butterfat and the poorest
ten 109.42 pounds.
1t Is believed that at least one third
Of the cows in the ordinary herds are
practically Improbable.
A marked improvement was OBJ
served in herds where grading had
been practlced.
1t was found possible to remove five
cows from a herd Of ten and thereby
Increase the profit S762 per head.

Grafton Of the dipping tank, as 1t Is

To Destroy Insects,

The grayish black squash bug Is
difficult to manage. Gathering the eggs
and the old bugs early in the spring
Is laborlous but sure, II thoroughly
done. The bugs will crawl upon a
piece Of board laid among the vines,
and may be gathered and caught. The
use of poisons will do no good in the
case of the bugs, as they do not eat
the leaves, but pass their beaks
through the outside of the leaf to
suck the juices, and will not consume
any Of the poison. In a series of ex-
periments in the method of prevent
Ing the attacks Of the squash vine bor-
er the preventatives employed were
paris green at the rate of half tea
spoonful to two gallons of water, corn
cobs dipped in coal tar, and the kero-
sene emulsion; the application of the
paris green and the kerosene was re-
peated after every hard rain until
September; the cobs were dipped in
coal tar again once In three weeks.
All three of the applications seemed to
be beneficial, with perhaps little
something in favor of the corncobs
as being cheapest and most convenient.
The odor Of the tar has no effect on
the Insects, but sometimes repels tine
moth, causing her to lay her eggs else
where.

Care of the Hedge.

When the hedge plants begin to die
out the cause may sometimes be traced
to lack Of plant food. There is con-
siderable wood removed from hedge
plants every year when the hedges are
trimmed, and this annual loss cannot
be sustained by the plants unless they
are assisted. Apply wood ashes freely
every fall.

CHAPTER III.

The Tigrero had let his head fall on

embarrassed by the turn the conversation
had taken, and anxious to continue il.
mechanically stirred up the fire.

The Tigrere raised his head and looked
at the hunter incredulously.
"You?" he muttered.
''Yes, l, and it will not be difficult to
prove it to you."
What good will 1t do?" he murmured
what interest can l have in the fact of
your knowing me?'
Valentine reflected for moment, and
then went on as follows:
"Some months ago, in consequence of
circumstances unnecessary to remind you
Of, but which you doubtless bear in mind.
you met at the colony of Guetzalli a
Frenchman and a Canadian hunter, with
whom you eventually stood on most inti-
mate terms"
1T is true" the Tigrero replied, "the
Frenchman to whom you allude is the
Count de Prebois GRANGE. Oh! / shall
never be able to discharge the debt Of
gratitude / have contracted with him."
A sad smile curled the hunters lip.
"You no longer owe him anything" he
said.
