FARM HINTS.

Getting Ready For Winter Is a Part
of Good Management.
So far as possible everything should
be put in good condition for the win
ter. The cows should be put in the
stable nights, where they can be better
fed and cared for. The stable should
be put in the best condition for use,
both for the comfort of the cows or
other animals and convenience in ear
ing for them. Have good floors and
stalls and plenty of light. Put in more
windows when needed and there is
room. Make the stable comfortably
warm, but have sufficient means FOR
ventilation, so that the air shall not be
close or bad smelling.
The health of the ANNA ais should al
ways be carefully looked after A
yearly application of whitewash wAI
add to the good looks of the stable and
is considered a sanitary measure.
There should always be an endeavor
to have everything as convenient as
possible for those having the care Of
the stock, as that means much during
the long months of winter in time and
labor.
Care of Cows.
Prices for milk, cream and butter
are high, very high fer the time Of
the year, and may go higher and cen
tinue high through the winter. This
prospect should encourage farmers to
do the best possible for their COWS 10
keep up a good flow Of milk. Keeping
the COWS in the stable on cool nights
and feeding to the most profitable
point or limit should be practiced.
Do not undertake to winter more
stock than can be well kept, as there
is no profit in this. Use plenty Of bed
ding, so that the COWS may be kept
clean. Feed the. best combination Of
grains, market cost considered, for the
production OF milk along with the we'll
cured corn fodder, silage and good
nay, advises American Cultivator. Reg
ularity in all of the work is also
necessary condition for the best sue
cess.
implements and Machines.
With the great scarcity of help the
farmer finds it necessary to supply the
deficiency so far as possible by che
use of the best implements and ma
chimes. 1t costs q good deal on the
average sized farm to get supplied
with these, and they should be made
the best use of and then well cleaned
and housed.

Roosevelt is being denounced by
many men these days. His straight
out talk and his unhesitating declar-
atoms of principles does not please
them, especially at a time like
this when finances are so ticklish. :"
Why not now as well as at any
other times No bank, no institu-
ton, no corporation no man who
has been doing an honest, straight
forward careful business will be
effected by Roosevelt's words The
other kind will be, of course, and it
is this kind the country must root
out of existence. The knife may
have to go deep but it will effect
the cure so necessary for the pub
lies welfare.

Beans Fed to Swine.

Beans can be fed to swine only In
the cooked form. The pig seems to be
unable to utilize beans which are at
all hard or firm, even though they have
been boiled for some time; hence it is
very essential that they be thoroughly
and carefully cooked, says r. S. Shaw,
Michigan. To supply a single feed of
half cooked beans to a pen of hogs
robs them of their arpetites and relish
for their food. if indeed 1t does not
put them off their feed.

GOODBYE.

1t is a hard word to speak. Some
may laugh that it should be, but
let them. Icy hearts are never
kind. 1t is word that has choked
many, an utterance, and started
many a tear. The hand is clasped,
the word is spoken, we part, and
are out on the ocean of time-we go
to meet again, where? God only
knows. 1t may be soon, 1T may be
never. Take care that your good
by be not cold one-it may be- the
last one you can give. Ere you
meet again deaths cold hand may
have closed his eyes and chained his
lips forever. Ali he may have
died thinking you loved HIM not.
Again it may be a long separation.
Friends crowd on and give you their
hands. How do you detect In each
good by the love that fingers there;
and how may you bear with him the
memory of those parting words
many days9 We must separate.
Tear not yourself away with a
GOODNESS that deties all love, but
make your words linger-giye your
heart full utterance-and if tears
fall, what of it? Tears are not un
manly.

CONFIDENCE NEEDED.

When the whole financial Ques-
ton is analized it results in the
simple fact that there is no lack of
business. As a matter of fact the
volume of business during the past
year or two has been unprecendent-
ed. It is a well known fact that
credit rests on confidence. The
lack OF confidence grew out of the
Jude revelations of financial crook
edness and possibly the fear of
government interference.
But this confidence is gradually
being restored as the public is learn
ing that the crookedness is not a
characteristic of the great body of
business and that the exposure made
a year or more ago has resulted in
Kidding the business body of danger
Gus sores and ulcers and that the
purging of these has put the busi-
ness world in healthy condition
again. Invested capital is safe in
all lines of legitimate venture. The
public as stated above is gradually
learning these facts and the result
no doubt will be quick restoration
of confidence and sequestered money
will soon be seen in the marts of
trade doing the business of the
country in the same confidential
way that has marked the past. This
country is so big and SO prosperous
that panics can not live. A panic
has no show in the face of conf
dence.

PARSONAGE"

feeling possessed me when 1 rose at
midnight and went to the parsonage.
1.-THE call of one kindred soul to an
other cannot go UNDECIDED, and l was
compelled to respond I did so gladly.
There was no improperly in our rela-
tons, nothing further than a commu-
nication between two souls. External
ly our friendship is of the platonic
sort"
my soul would die without her." is
the startling resume of the Rev. Mr..
Walenta's regard for the wife of his
lifelong friend. "She has become so
necessary to my existence that 1 can
not be separated from her and firmly
believe with her that one day we shall
be left alone to the fulfillment of our
happiness.
''If a total reconciliation with her
husband would make her happy 1
would be glad to have her go back to
her happiness and work out my life
the best 1 could without her. but she
does not want her husband"
Justice Asphalt, feeling that this
soul affinity business was beyond the
limit of sanity, sent the pair to the
Flatbush asylum for observation and
on the finding of the Flatbush experts
decided that both the Rev. Mr.. Walen-
ia and Mrs. Bauer were lunatics. He
dismissed the adultery charge against
them, with the recommendation to the
friends of the 'Soul mates that they
should consign the eccentric couple to

No city can 0become great, or
even prosper, If its citizens refuse
TO impart an interest to its affairs,
or fail to feel sense of pride in
what it possesses. 1t is the feeling
which it's citizens extend to the
welfare of village that makes it
great or small, that means its sue
cess or failure. Local interest, local
pride is the very life of village.

The Bartlett pear, an old time favor

the few really good pears that grow

licious. The flesh is white, buttery,

For canning purposes it is prime, and
in commercial use it is said that the

QUALITY IN CORN.
Tremendous Influence of Seed on the
Percentage of Yield.

The wide variations observed with a
large number of seed corn samples
tested at the Virginia experiment sta,

quickly change the characteristics of

size of the stalk, number of leaves,

WinslOw Notes.
From the Mail.

A civil suit against the Keeler Drug Company, which was clos ed several days under an attach ment against Fred Seeger, Trus- tee, brought by Babbitt Bros. Mere. Co.,, was tried III Justice Flinn's court Monday last before a jury. The jury disagreed and the case was set for a rehearing Tuesday, May 2Sth. The suit was brought by Babbitt Bros. to recover on a bill contracted by the Drug Company, which had been running severalmOnths. The plaintiff endeavored to prove that the drug company was not the property of Keeler but that MT. Seeger was the trustee for a number of gentlemen who had signed a note for 2,5OO to pur- chase the business and that Keeler was simply an agent for them. The defense claimed that Keeler had induced these several gentlemen to sign the note so that he could borrow the money with which to make the pur- chase, and that the bill of sale, which was made in the name of Fred Seeger as trustee, was done only for protection. Neither proposition seemed to be estab- lished to the satisfaction of the jury, hence the disagreement. There are other suits pending the outcome of this one and there IS no doubt but they will be stub bOrnly contested.
