We regret to learn that Rev. A. N.

will not be with us next year. Owing
to Mrs. Conklin's Ill health the fami-
ly find 1t necessary to remove to a
dryer climate, and expect to locate
In Iowa.
We note with interest that the
sales OF haying machinery, as re-
ported In the various newspapers, is
larger throughout the county than
formerly. While our farmers were
heretofore pretty we'll supplied with
haying machinery. more than the
usual amount was sold this yea,
showing that Glen Flora is In front
rank agricnlturaly. Lee Van Patter
has sold this year four mowers, seven
rakes, nine hay carrier outfits and
one tedder. -
Another effort Is being made to Sc
cure a Chautauqua Assembly here

color chanued by Fire.

Since the fire the color of Baltimore
has changed. 1t used to be town
of red bricks, and to an observer
standing at the top of the Washing
ton monument it appeared distinctly
ruddy. But in the buildings erected
since the fire the old-style red bricks
have been used but little. Most Ia
cades are yellow or gray or white OF
salmon pink. The result is that the
citv looks lighter and brighter. But
what the smoke and dust OF ten years
will do to this clay brilliance remains
to be seen.

THE UNAPPREcIATED HICKORY

It is rather pity that our bickories
should receive highest appreciation from
US when they are yielding up their sub.
stance in roaring flames in our fireplaces,
for nowhere in the forest world can we
find genius of trees that is, as whole,
more attractive and valuable than the
genus Hicora, says Country Life.
Most of the hickories are beautiful in
summer when their glossy foliage is at its
best; in autumn this foliage turns the
color of uncoined gold; and when bare of
leaves, there is revealed an oaklike twist
t. the branches which makes these trees
most picturesque and beautiful objects in
the winter landscape.
We have never made as much CONNER
cially of the nuts as We might well have
done Our Indian predecessors knew how
to make most attractive beverage from
them, and the early settlers pressed from
them an oil that was luxury.
The pecan is the only hickory species
that las been developed and cultivated to
any extent; and this has only recently be-
gun its career as cultivated tree.

WHERE CHICKENS PAY

John w. Killen, the FELTON, farmer
who has been addressing some Of tile Far

breaches, says FELTON, correspondence of

The records from Killen's finely appoint
ed poultry house for the month just
passed, shows that he has 200 Plymouth
Rock hens, that during the month the
weather was extremely cold, snow cover
ing the ground from the first to the last
of the month, aud the thermometer
rarely getting above the freezing point,
and once or twice down to zero; that not
withstanding the difficulties encou ntered
with these conditions, the short
month and the obstacles to sur
mount, Killen's chikens produced
209 dozen eggs. This is what the farmers
term making the chickens keep you when
eggs are dear.

OUR HOUSEHOLD LETTER
Suggestions for Home Furnishing GEaned
from Experience

Il
Mrs. Newlywed was clever enough to
realize that the comfort Of the housel old,
its general good health and de-
pended largely on the kitchen. In
her own case great deal OF her time
would be spent in thts place and she in
tended that it should be attractively
furnished and fitted up with every con-
nience that her means afforded TO make
ber work light and pleasant as possible.
She knew the value of oilcloths for this
room, not only the old fashioned kind,
but the newer, prettier styles that have
been developed from the kind in familiar
use for generations She had an oil cloth
floor covering, and the walls of her kitchen
hung with the glazed oil cloth in tile
pattern of blue and white. This was put
on with -four paste just as paper is hung,
and the little housekeeper knew that it
would last longer than almost any other
form Of wall covering willie it could be
kept clean by simply Siping it off with a
damp cloth or sponge.
Kitchen Pantries and Crockery
Tie shelves of her kitchen cabinet
were covered with plain shelf oil cloth
with scaloped edges, and she bought for
the kitchen crockery, the cheap imitation
of old India ware, with its rich dark blue
coloring, that is solid and substantial, and
costs little more than plain stone ware
while it stands the heat OF the oven equal |
ly well used for pudding dishes and other |
baking purposes. A strip of plain white
oilcloth lined the closet where her C o ,king |
utensils hung and the shelves were simil- |
arly covered, for she knew that the shin
ing cleanliness easily maintained by this
treatment would keep her kitchen free i
from those insect maurauders that are the
bane OF existence once they find lodge
ment where food suppl ss are kept. The

A TRUE WOMAN

There is large class of excellent female
characters who, on account of that very
excellence, are little known because to be
known is not their object. Their ambi-

life lionored and respected in their own

approved by Him "whose they are, and
whom they serve," though their faces are
hardly known in promiscuous society. If
they occasion little sensation abroad,
they produce much happiness at home.

JESSE Z. SHEPHERD.

Many farmers do their milking out oil
doors except in the coolest weather, and
even then thrir own comfort is the only
inducement for them to seek shelter. On
some farms, where cows stand in mud
and filth during tile milking, the owners
grumble at the smallness of the milk
yield, and wonder Why a thrifty, careful
neighbor, whose cows are no better, get
such large returns.
The practice Of stabling COWS contin.
ually during the winter season may bring
more milk, as many dairymen claim, but
it is not conducive to good health. 1t is
true, the cows seem to enjoy their warm
STALE. So do We enjoy sitting by the fire,
but we feel better when we hustle around
out Of doors part Of each day. Cows
are not so different from ourselves in this
respect The farmer who succeeds with
all kinds Of stock knows that the welfare
OF the animals, as well as their progeny,
depends good deal upon their getting a
reasonable amount Of exercise.
