The robin, bluebird and wren are
three of the most attractive and inter-
esting birds that one can have make
their homes on the premises. The first
mentioned will find nesting place for
itself. The wren may be encouraged
by putting up tin can or cigar box in
which little rounded hole Is cut, small
enough to exclude the sparrow, which
is an all around disturber and general
nuisance. The bluebird will often build
in an empty woodpecker's nest or in
the bleached skull Of a horse or COW.

The annual per capita consumption
of meat in the United States is TT
pounds. The only country where it is
greater is Australia, a condition that is
doubtless due to the fact that meats
of all kinds are very cheap. Some Of
the European countries have as low
an average consumption as fifty or six
ty pounds.

For the horse which is out of condi-
ton and needs tOning up bit a promi-
nent eastern veterinarian recommends
a rounding tablespoonful dose Of the
following prescription given in the
ground feed morning and night: One
pound granulated soda hyposulphite,
four ounces of ginger, three ounces Of
gentian, two ounces of powdered char
coal. This tonic, which ones local
druggist will put up, it is a good idea
to give the horses at the beginning Of
the seasons work, whether they are
out Of condition Or not.
While two crops cannot as a rule be
got off the same piece Of land during
one season inl the northern states, there
are certain combinations Of crops with
which this can be done. For example,
navy beans may be planted among the
hills Of early potatoes early in June,
celery can be set out on the ground
from which the early peas have been
removed, while the old strawberry bed
car. be plowed up after the crop has
been removed and planted to turnlps
or rutabagas. A little planning of this
kind will enable one to realize a max.
mum Of utility from piece Of ground.

There is no place finer for growing
potatoes, barring hazel brdsh grub land,
than a clover meadow in which the
second crop has been turned under in
early September. The land should be
given thorough disking and put i'll
the best of filth before planting. Five
OF six days after planting, if the wealth
er IS warm, give the field a thorough
narrowing, Gs more weeds can be
Killed in this way and at this time than
Turing any subsequent month. AS soon
as the potatoes begin to prick through
the ground SO that the rows can be
seen, run through with a four shovel
cultivator, throwing enough loose dirt
on the potato rows so as to cover up
any little weeds that may have started.
In about week after this give the
field another thorough narrowing,
which will swipe out many more
weeds. At the end of another week
the cultivator may be used again, the
dirt being thrown lightly around the
plants, but not on them. If necessary
another narrowing may be given, the
benefit Of which will far outweigh the
value Of the few hills pulled out.

The bush lima bean is one Of the
most delicious vegetables that can be
raised in the family garden. They
should be planted when danger of frost
Is over in rich, mellow soil. If one
wishes to force them some, it is we'll
to fill shallow trench partly full Of
well rotted manure and plant them eye
down in the ridge above this. The
lima bean is a semitropical plant and
needs forcing and lots of warm wealth
er to do its best. The soil should be
kept as mellow as possible while the
beans are coming up, as it is at this
stage that many of the beans perish
through having the cotyledons break
off, and this is likely to happen if the
earth is hard aud crusty.

THINKING ALOUD.


One OF the earls Of Dudley, who wa,
addicted to the practice Of thinkinf
aloud, found himself In very awk
ward predicament on a certain occa
sion. He was TO spend the evening at
the house Of friend and ordered his
carriage early, as he had long drive
back to his own home.
When the hour arrived the carriage
was not forthcoming. Seeing that
Lord Dudley was considerably annoy
ed by the delay, one OF the guests,
whose way homeward lay past his
Iordship's house, politely offered him a
seat In his carriage. The gentleman
was almost stranger to Lord Dud-
ley, but the offer was accepted.
The drive did not prove very socla-
bic one. Lord Dudley took his seat
and Immediately relapsed into silence.
his thoughts apparently engrossed by
some unpleasant subject. Presently he
began to speak In low but distinctly
audible tone Of voice, and his compan-
ion, to his astonishment, heard him
say:
I'm very sorry i accepted his offer.
l don't know the man. It was civil
certainly, but the worst is suppose
L must ask him to dinner"
Silence followed this bit OF audible
thinking. His lordshlp was unaware
that he had betrayed his thoughts and
was probably still meditating upon
the same unpleasant subject when the
voice OF his companion broke the still.
