A PSAM OF FARM LIFE


Maud Miller on summer day,
Set a hen in a brand new way.
MAUD, you see, was city girl,
Trying the rural life whirl.)
She covered a box with tinsel gay,
Lined it snugly with new-mown hay
Filled 1t nicely with eggs, and then
Started to look for likely hen.
Out of the flock she selected one,
Then she thought her work was done.
1t should have been, but this stubborn
Stood up and cackled "Ka-doot" and

Looked coldly into the creatures eyes,
Then tied its legs to the box. "You
bet

But still 1t stood, and worse and worse
Shrieked forth it's wrongs to the uni
verse.
Kicked over the box with its tinsel
gay,
And ANONYMOUSLY tapped away.
Then bad boy over the barnyard
Tee-heed: Say, Maud, there's diff
ference

One says 'Ka-doot' and one 'Ka-dat.' :"
And ever since that historic day

To think of the hobble she made once

Poultry Notes

Wholesome and nutritious food
makes hens lay rich eggs.
Hens should be provided with new
nests after each laying season.
Poultry diseases that you do not
understand can best be cured with an
axe
The hens value as a winter egg
producer lessons after the second
year.
A pound of sulphur burned in the
poultry house will destroy lice and
other vermin.
II breeding birds are bought in the
fall they will be in better condition
for duty in the spring.
II the poultry house floor is a dirt
one, remove about five inches of it
and replace with fresh earth from the
garden.
The hen that persists in spending
half the day on the roost instead Of
doing her duty, will taste pretty good
as a stew.
The man who buys fruit trees to
put into his orchard should inform
himself of the nursery conditions un-
der which the trees were grown. The
nature of the soil in which they were
started and made their first few years
growth and should not be far different
from the nature of the soil in which
they are subsequently to grow. If the
trees have been started in very rich
soil with an abundant supply of moist
ure they will receive a check that
will RESULT n permanent stunting.
Without doubt this is the hidden cause
of the failure of many an orchard. 1t
is more likely to be the case when
trees are brought from very distant
places, say a thousand miles or so
away south or north. 1t has been
thought that the failure of so many
trees thus obtained was due to some
hidden quality in the climate, but it
appears to the writer to be more rea-
sonable to assume that the difference
in soil conditions largely accounted
for the failures.

CALLING OUR OWN SPADE A
SPADE NO SIMPLE MATTER,

A member of the Atlantic Month
ly Contributors club discusses in its
current number our use of euphem-
isms when speaking of our own af-
fairs and belongings. Many people
speak of their own cabbages as if
they were roses" he begins. Call
ing the spade spade is no such
simple matter-our own spade For
there is an endearing intimacy about
our own affairs that excuses their
pettiness and glorifies their shabbi-
ness.
This euphemy of oue's affairs, =
continues this observer, lis nothing
so gross as eXaggeration; it is rather
a nice choice of terms, a conveyance
of the exact shade of sentiment felt.
1 nere is a whole vocabulary of eu-
phemism in common use-a currency
of conversation, deprecated to be
sure, but at well-understood ratio,
SO that nobody is deceived, and its
use is hardly at all restricted Many
men and most women, without falsi-
flying by a hairs breadth, yet man
age by some subtle and delicate art
to give the impression that theirs is
an enviable lot. In this vocabulary
mans unpretentious house-and-lot,
incidentally mortgaged, becomes a
place. and his back yard garden,
while his lawns and his grounds
are invariably plural. In like man.
ner he refers to his 'piaZzas, or even,
if sufficiently versed in the demands
of the hours on such matters, to his
terrace, or his 'loggia. or his sum
mer-room. Such common affair
as the 'stoop or 'poarch has long
since been RELOCATED to the farm
houses of our forefathers and the dia-
| lect stories. Why is it that one nc
longer hears of the folks or of sit
| ting-rooms?' 1t is among the posi-
bilities that some of these good old
terms have been cast upon the rub
bish-heap of vulgarities of speech
that all good Americans are striving
to avoid.
1.-The euphemistic temperament,
indeed, decorates all its pathway
with the little flowers of speech. Men
as rule speak euphemistically of
their affairs of business, women Of
their affaires de occur. But in what
touches personal vanity we are all
euphemists alike. After all, this
euphemism is no mere matter of
words, but of the soul--a kind of OPP
timism 1t is a feeling, sentiment
rather, that springs from heart to
lips. What we love, that we would
speak of.

She Lived Too Far AWAY.

An old woman from the country
bought three boxes of matches from
her grocer in town. 1t rained when
she was going home, and the match
es became SO damp that not one of
them would strike. On the following
Saturday she took the matches back
to the grocer and upbraided him for
selling such useless stuff. The grocer
took out one or two, and struck them
quite easily on the leg of his trous-
ers, for by this time the matches had
become perfectly dry. But the old
woman did not think of this eXplana-
ton, and exclaimed: Tut, tut.
That's not good enough for me. |

ers every time | want to strike a

THE OLD DUMPS
and STAG PILES
IN NEVADA
VALUES SENT TO THE WASTE
PILE YEARS AGO ARE NOW
BEING REWORKED.
FORTUNES MADE BY ENTERPRISE
What Was Wasted i'm Past Years
Is Now Being Saved BY
New Methods.

One of the most profitable under
takings in the mining line in Nevada
is the working over of the old dumps
In the years that have gone some of
the richest mines in the world were
located in various parts of the sage
brush country, but freighting was too
high to permit the shipment of any of
the product that did not run high up
in money, and while a great many
fortunes were made in the early days
of mining in that region, only the
highest grade stuff was sent to the
markets.
In recent years improvements have
been made in the treatment of ores,
which makes very close saving in
values, and as result a great many
of the old dumps have been pur-
chased outright, leased or relocated
for the purpose of being worked over
again.
A number of fortunate companies
have been engaged in this work from
time to time, and with very few ex-
ceptiOns have amassed large fortunes
from these undertakings. The latest
one of these ventures that is attract
ing more than passing attention is
the working at the old Lincoln mine
situated in the Union canyon coun-
try, four miles from Berlin, an old
camp in the south end of the Reese
river range in the northeast corner of
Nye county. This company has a
five-stamp mill under lease and sew
eral hundred tons of ore on the dump
that was mined in the long ago by
former owners.
Some idea of the wealth of this
rock can be Cleaned from the fact
that as a result off a three-days' run
on this dump ore from the Lincoln
mine, gold and silver in bullion and
concentrates have been produced
worth 5000. In addition to the
silver and gold values, this ore con-
tains from $40 to $40 ton in copper
values, and from the old dump and
the numerous slopes in the mine
there seems to be no question but
that these leasers have an Opportu-
nifty to take out considerable for
tune.
Some evidence of the faith these
men have in their undertaking is
shown from the fact that they have
propose to install at the earliest date
possible, and then the product of this
bullion and concentrate will be car
ried on more extensively.
Some mining companies have men
out covering every nook and corner
of the state of Nevada where mines
were worked in the early days, and
samples are taken of all the dumps.

Mr.. Fitzsimmons stated that he

He further stated there is strong

shore for treating the immense de-
posits of copper ores from the Fitting
district and the copper belt of the

In that case the ores from Yering-
ton would no doubt be shipped to
