MADE THE SONG REALISTIC.
contraIto's Musical Efforts Accom-
panied by the Living Article.


Alice Sovereign had a trying expert.
ence recently in Pittsburg, her recital
ending with little tragedy, the dra.
mats personae of which were the con.
tralto and a bluebottle fly. The re-
frain of Nevin's "Yearning'' had just
been reached and Miss Sovereign in
her most appealing tones was entreat.
ing, ooh, fly with mel" when the blue.
bottle. accepting the invitation, ap.
peared. Refusing to be brushed aside,
it buzzed blithely about the singers
pretty face and with commendable
taste remained in the vicinity of her
lips. "Oh, fly! oh, fiy!" continued Miss
Sovereign, bit TREMENDOUSLY. "Buzz!"
was the noncommittal answer. ooh,
iy!" confined the contralto, on a low
70 that gave very little hint OF her
trepidation. And then the worst hap.
pened. Without pausing to reflect, the
fly impulslvely rushed into the breach
and disappeared. 1t was a critical
moment for both, but Miss Sovereign
proved equal to the emergency With.
out wincing. and with excellent
breath control, she aided the intruder
in its downward Journey, and con.
cluded the song with a clear, mellow,
and truthful, aoh, fly with mel" The
incident was unnoticed by the audi.
ence. but Miss Sovereign stil1 has the
fiy--ln memory. at least.

don't always cover the whole question.
Sometimes snow banks up against the
chimney which melts little bit every
day and at night freezes into an ice
bank, that changes the situation
around the chimney considerably
After awhile the rain comes, some
build and one that is understood by
every house carpenter. 1t is right in
every respect, even to the placing of
the chimney.
There is a great advantage in hav-
ing the chimney in tie center of the
house You never have trouble with
roof leaking around a chimney that
is built through the peak, but the
amount of expressive profanity
wasted on chimneys near the caves is
tremendous. When the water races
down the roof it seems to prefer an
outlet around the chimney. 1t runs
down towards the ground easier at
this spot than it does at the caves
at least a great many men feel that
way at times.
Theoretically it is easy to steer the
water around the chimney, but theory

70 Kill the Peach Tree Rorer.

Many things have been recommend
ed, such as ashes and lime to be
placed around the peach trees in order
to kill the borer, but the authorities
say no external application will kill
the borer, since he is hid under the
bark and the severe freezes of the
north do not ever kill them. Hence
they claim the only effectuaI way il
to take knife and go after them.
However, We know by personal OBJ
servation, says correspondent in
Georgia, that where the dirt was re.
moved from around the peach trees in
September, the borers were either
killed or made no sign of being there,
while around every one that the dirt
was left up around the trunk, the
borers were plentiful. II you want to
fertilize your trees, scatter your fer.
tilizer around for two or three feet;
do not put it in hole right near the
tree.

Feeding cettenseea Meal.

Cottonseed meal is valuable feed
for steers and dairy cows. It is a
good supplement with corn. When fed
in not too large quantities it can be
fed for a long time, but large feeds
sometimes prove fatal Some feeders
do not use 1t longer than three months
for herd of cattle. But on grass ii
can be feed for much longer time.
Cottonseed meal has never given sat.
isfaction as feed for hogs or for young
growing stock. It will often kill this
stock or else stunt them SO as to
make them Improbable.

To Young Men.

Young men who go away from their
parents and home to work for wages
on other farms should select places
where the manager will be an edu-
Gator to the young man. Select a
farm where the family read, where
there are agricultural papers to be
read, where there is taste and ambi-
ton to excel in farming. A young man
should mot make money the main idea,
but should seek to improve his mind
and qualify himself to manage a farm
on q higher basis.

PRUNING GRAPES.
All Systems Are the Modification Of
Two,

The great majority of growers prtlna
their grapes in one way, without ref.
erence to the fruiting habit Ct the va
riety. Probably the most common
method of pruning is to cut the new
wood back to short spurs Of two or
three buds, leaving one spur at a
place, and distributing these at ap-
proximately regular intervals along
tht vine. Another very common style
of pruning is the Kniff1n system, in
which the main vine Is carried with.
out branches to a wire six feet from
the ground, where two arms are
formed, and the lowest shoot on each
arm is cut back to to II buds, the
arm being cut off just beyond this
shoot, thus leaving two long canes,
which are tied to the wire right and
left. When the buds push in the
spring the new growth, which bears
the fruit, is allowed to hang down,
thus checking wood growth and hav-
ing tendency to increased size OF
fruit. All systems of grape pruning
are notifications of one or the other
of these.

DELAYING Peach Blooms.

Late frosts IL the spring are dread
ed by all horticulturists in the south.
Experiments have been made In Mis-
souri, that have worked admirably in
delaying the bloom on peach trees.
This was done by whitewashing the
trees in the fall-the whitewash was
put on the trees with q sprayer, so az
to touch all the limbs. The trees alb,
sorbed less heat on sunny days during
the winter and the buds and blossoms
remained perfectly dormant The
Whitewash delayed blooming about
one week.

The Good Roads Movement.

The good roads movement will
probably come in for an increased
appropriation by congress for expert
ments. Texas, Tennessee, South Car
DINA and some other sections have
recently received instruction in road
building from experts sent from the
department OF agriculture. It is not
believed that the bill of Senator Lat
inner of South Carolina, calling for an
appropriation Of s24, 900 900, will eve-
receive tbs Endorsement of both
houses, but an appropriation VIII
doubtless be made.

CHOOSING Cotton seed.

In your best field of cotton mark the
most vigorous and productive plants
showing short joints and fruit limbs
near the bottom. The entirs plant
should be an exceptional fruit pro-
Queer. Seed should be selected from
these marked cotton stalks, but the
top hollis and the bolIs on the ends
of the limbs should not go into the
lot for seed; they tend to make the
cotton later. The bolIs selected for
seed should be picked in advance OF
the regular pickers. "a K, Lake

the window side and extend down as
far as the window stool. The ends of
the window seat may be higher than
the sides, but. not necessarily SO, as
both shape and design must conform
to the other furniture in the room to
certain extent. 1t is more difficult
to fit the tufted covering when the
ends are higher than the sides, but it

Small houses for small families are
required in greater number than any
other style of building. It is said
that the average family contains five
members; that means that a great
many families have only from two to
four members.
The remark has often been made
that no roof is big enough to cover
two families: certainly the happiest
way to live is in home of your own.
Judging from the misery in some
large houses there has been no
change in human nature in this re-
spect. You may call it se1fishness or
what you like, but the fact remains
that there can only be one mistress
In one house. Things must go to her
liking or someone suffers. The only
excuse for different families crowd
ing into one house is the expense of
building separate houses, which
means that If small houses were more
plentiful there would be less difficulty.
This plan shows a house that costs
very little more to build than a one
story cottage. There are only two
bedrooms and bathroom upstairs,
besides a big storeroom, while the
downstairs is perfectly arranged for
comfort and convenience.
The caves are but little higher than
cottage house. The room upstairs
is secured by means of a roof having
four gables, which is an easy roof to
