"DIDOES."
Does the Word Come to Us From the
Relief of Sychaeuse
From the Boston Transcript

From the Boston Transcript.
The phrase kick up didos"-for the
plural is formed either with or without
the .'e"-is allowable. 1t occurs. for ex-
ample, in Quiller COUGHS Detachable
Duchy," but the more common form Is
ito cut" or ito cut up didos. The word
is dictionary one. DIR. MURRAY says
that it is United States slang he de-
fines it as a prank. caoer, a distur-
bance. row, shindy; he quotes, as the
earliest use in English literature, this
sentence from Sam Slick in England
QS43-44: Them Italian singers reclln'
their iabber and cuttin' didoes at
"a private concert" He says that the or
IGN of the word is uncertain.
But Halliburton used the term in "The
Clockmaker'' in 1885, and Prof. Joseph
Wright in his English Dialect D,ctlon-
land, Kent Isle of Wight. Cornwall and
also In the United States. Halliburton
used ii with reference to Nova Scotian:
Il met a man this mornin' from Halifax,
a real conceted lookin crftter all
shines and dfdoes.' Prof. Wright gives
as the first definition a disturbance, noise
fuss. as in the speech heard on the Isle
of Wight: He kicked up a hidden dido
about it," then, plural-tricks. antics, &C.
centric feats-as in Kent: "Dreckley we
be backturned, there he be. a-cutting all
manner O. ddos;" and lastly. play
thing: also used as term to denote ar
ticles which do not give satisfaction to
the owner, as trimming on a dress or bon
net.
Yet the learned Prof Wright does not
venture to explain the derivation of the
word, he does not suggest a possible de-
rivaticn. Did the term come from the
fuss made by Queen Dido after the pious
Aenas left her? An obsolete word
"dido''-a thrice-told tale may have been
originally "a tale of DIDO" TAFT in his

BoTHERs THE LIBERALS.

Outrages Predicted.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON. December lakeland has be.
come worse thorn in the side of the lib
eral government than it was in that of
their unionist rivals. It was reported yes
terday that Secretary Birrell had become
alarmed at the growing lawlessness which
the governments present methods were
powerless to check, and that the cabinet
had decided to invoke the crimes act in
five of the worst counties, where the law
is now paralyZed.
The rumor proved false, for so dear Is
political consistency to the heart OF the
liberal politicians that they decided to
allow agrarian crime to run riot little
longer rather than use the coercive
when 1t was in the hands of the unionist
government.
The Irish secretary must have spoken
with his tongue in his cheek, to U.s. an
Irishism, when he comp a:ned to depu-
tation of Irish landoroers yesterday that
they did not operate with the police in
furnishing evidence against cattle drivers.
He got prompt answer that the graziers
and herdsmen dared not come forward be-
cause they firmly believed they would be
murdered If they testified aga nst the
raiders. This Is common knowledge in the
affected districts. Yet B!rrell affected to
receive the information with surprise
There Is small doubt that outrages VIII
continue on an increasing scale through
out Ireland, and 1t will be interesting to
see how long a liberal government will
permit anarchy to continue without re-
course to effective measures of repression.

BUTTER CUTTER.

In cutting butter into small quanu-

at the size of piece necessary to make

performed in an exact manner a New
York man has designed the simple butter

New York's Unoccupied Farms.


New York, as well as New Hampshire,
has farms for sale, but they are called
''unoccupied," instead of abandoned :"
farms. as in New Hampshire and other
New England states. The state depart
ment of agriculture, in 1905, by act of the
legislature became a sort of farm eX-
change. A gentleman came in one day
and complained to the commissioner that
he was compelled to offer his farm for
sale because he could not hire men to
work it. The conversation that followed
developed the fact that many farmers
throughout the state had abandoned their
farms for the same reasons, and sug-
gested an inquiry into the situation. Mr..
Wieting, commissioner of agriculture, is
sued a circular to supervisors of town.
ships asking for information as to the
number of unoccupied farms, the condi-
ton of the buildings, the total acreage,
how many were actually abandoned,
whether comfortable living could be
made upon them. their fair valuation per
acre, and other similar facts. In the same
connection each supervisor in the state
was asked to report how many married
men with families were wanted for ten
ants by owners of farms, and how many
single men could find employment in
each town as farm laborers.
THE result was the passage of the
law said Mr.. George L. Flanders, as
sistant commissioner of agriculture, n
answer to my questions, taking effect
April 1910. WHICH gave the
authority to assist in procuring labor for
the farmers of the state and to collect
and disseminate such information as
would promote the repopulation of the
unoccupied farms and the development
of agriculture.
Having collected the information de-
scribed, bulletin was published in 1906
containing descriptions of LOO farms in
different parts of the state, which were
offered for sale. A second bulletin was
published in 1907, containing descriptions
of 2,373 farms offered for sale, at prices
ranging from 81 600 to $4,000 according
to location, condition and acreage. 1t Is
a singular fact that the larger number of
these farms are located in the most popu-
lous and popular portions of the state

Farm Notes.

A farm near Fennville, Mich, pro-
duced last year over twenty thousand
bushels of onions and 1900 pounds OF
peppermint oil.
An Oregon ma nshipped a carload
Of 1000 h%alf-boxes of Comice peas to
New York, which sold at auction for
$3,429. The neat way in which the
fruit was prepared for market I'M
doubtedly added much to the sale
price.
Nothing is better to prevent loss of
ammonia from the manure heap than
s%oapsuds. Keep the heap well sat
urated, and make holes in the mass,
SO that the %soapsuds can pass down to
the bottom of the heap. Chemical &C.
tion is facilitated, but there are forma-
tons of salt that prevent loss.
To build and fill an ice-house for
home dairy use is a cheap and simple
task. Ice laid on edge will keep bet
ter than when packed on it's side. Use
only as much sawdust, or other pack
ing, as may be necessary, but pack
close, as a circulation of air between
the cakes Of ice is more destructive
than direct heat.
Rye will be the first green food in
the spring. AS the young rye is al
most wholly composed of water it af-
fords but little nutrition and is very
laxative. When turning stock on
young rye it should be done as gradu'
ally as possible. Only a small quaint
ty of of, rye should be eaten at first,
allowing cattle to Craze more as the
rye grows.
AS long as cold draughtS enter the
stable the animals will demand suf-
ficient food to create more animal
heat as a protection. If the live stock
can be kept warm, less food will be
necessary. When straw is passed
through the fodder cutter and used
in the stalls, it shuts out the draughts
along the floor and prevents loss of
warmth, as well as serving as an ex-
cellent absorbent.
For very large hanging baskets the
Madeira vine is very satisfactory. 1t
is best to give it very rich soil; it's
growth will not be so strong, but the
leaves will be closer together and also
be more attractive. Pinch it back
mercilessly until the basket or trellis
is covered with foliage. After that.
let a few vines grow, allowing some
to droop and others train up along
the wire or strings, ~suspending the
basket. Keep the glossy leaves clean
and the result will be a handsome
basket and a charming plant.
