WHATS A WEIGH RABBIT 2

What is a Welch rabbit? Does
anybody know? II so, a business
man of Honolulu would like to be
told. He has cleared two acres of
land for the purpose OF raising the
rabbits, and has signed contracts
with the Young Hotel, and Union
Grill, and the other nice places about
town, to furnish the rare morsels
when he has them ready for the mar
ket. Further he has incorporated a
company, with shares, all OF which
are sold, and would be raising them
now, II It were not for the fact that
he has been told that the importa-
ton of the beasts is forbidden. since
they eat SO much that they might
readily become a pest.
1t all came about through chance
conversation, in which the man in
question heard someone say some
thing about a Welch rabbit. AS he
had not heard about the thing be-
fore, It was too good chance for
the jokers, and they rubbed II in
The land was cleared at the expense
of the promoter, his family helping
iexpedite the work; papers were sign
ed and sealed before an attorney, ant
the whole thing done in form, as ey'
ieryone was in on the joke, except tho
man being joshed.

GRADING OF CREAM
BY r. A. Joreensen.

There Is at present more or less
grading of cream taking place in our
creameries. but two creameries scarce
ly ever grade alike. There are even
creameries that do not grade alike for
all their patrons and some that grade
for part OF their patrons only. These
widely different methods Of grading
are not recommendable and especially
in places where there is a great deal
Of changing around Of patrons. For IL
a man takes his cream to one cream
cry for awhile and gets 1t graded and
then takes 1t to another and gets II
graded differently there. 1t will in
many instances tend to have the pa
tron lose faith in the grading. He
comes to the conclusion 1t is a swim
ding deal since they don't grade alike
Just one more way Of robbing him.
Therefore. II the creamery men could
work in harmony. then they could
adopt some common method and allow
a large enough discrimination so It
would encourage the patron to pro-
duce n good article. Besides the sys-
tenn OF grading would have much more
effect. At present the difference In
price paid between a first grade OF
cream and the poorer one is. as a rule,
not large enough, and It may be justly
said that the undue competition is the
very cause OF It. 1t is also the very
cause of the present abuse Of the Bah
cock test which can be found in every
day practice In many of our cream
cries. Where competition is sharp
some OF the tests are under-read in
order to give some a higher test than
they are entitled to. This is the cause
Of much OF the dissatisfaction among
so many OF the creamery patrons. 1t
is unjust and 1t tends to make them
slack and produce an inferior grade of
cream. Therefore. 1t ought to be

to-provided she doesn't achieve her
neatness by nagging and everlasting
primpiness. .r.. --
That some girls bureau drawers
have a cyclone-struck look may not
argue lack Of orderliness SO much as
an overpressure OF affairs. 1t is not
easy when every minute counts to put
things back in the exact spot where
they should go.
AS the bump of order is the greatest
time saver known. It is well, however,
for the busy girl to make strenuous
efforts to acquire 1t. 1t may take an
extra minute to put things where they
belong. but time is often reckoned by
hours when It comes to hunting them
where they don't belong.
Orderliness is a good business asset;
the girl who can put her fingers on

not on perpetual hunt for pencil,
eraser and other daily necessities, who
has learned to classify her papers for
easy finding. rarely makes a failure Of

TO WEAR UNDER SHEATH SKIRT,
SILK knIekerboeksrs Appropriate with
the New Costume.


The shops have already brought out
all kinds OF silk knickerbockers for
the new sheath skirt. Some are lined
with albatross, some are Of taneta.
unlined: others are OF old brocades
lined with china silk. .ar
They are perfectly fitted at hips
and waist line and are held around the
knee with an elastic band. They
haven't much material in them. or
they would make a bad line under the
tight skirt.
While the majority never use them
for this purpose. they promise to be
quite popular for all manner Of out
door wear under short cloth skirts.
For camp and country. for ocean
and mountain. those OF china silk worn
under a short tweed skirt are i'm
mensely superior to a petticoat. They
give freedom. do not get In the way
and are quite cool and light.
Natural colored pongee is an excel
lent substitute for china silk for knick-
erbockers to be worn in this way. and
some women are having them made

HIoH.PRicED coWPEAs.
Il Will Pay the Farmer to Give Them
a Fair Chance.

Cowpeas are scarce and high again
this year, and it will pay every farm
er to see that he gives all he sows a
fair chance. 1t is sheer folly to pay
two TO four dollars a bushel for peas
and then SOW them on land that has
been only half prepared, or that is too
poor TO grow crop. cowpeas are
commonly regarded as a poor land
CROP" that is, they will grow on land
too poor to make a paying crop OF
anything else, and will improve the
land by their growth. 1t must be re-
membered, however, that their great
function is to gather nitrogen from
the atmosphere, and that they cannot
successfully do this without a full
supply Of potash and phosphoric acid.
Nowhere do these elements pay bet
ter than when applied to leguminous
crops, since by their use in this way
the nitrogen Of the air is more freely
appropriated by the legumes. And
nitrogen is, as is we'll known, our most
expensive element Of fertility.
Prepare the land we'll, fertilize liber-
ally with the mineral elements, and
cowpeas will pay even when they cost
three dollars or more ger bushel A
bushel TO the acre is the usual amount
sown for hay. Three pecks may do
just as well where the land is in good
shape, the peas sown evenly and one
of the ranker growing varieties used.
When the peas are sown for seed they
may be drilled in rows 18 inches apart.
This way, says Farmers Voice, a peck
will plant an acre. II they are culti-
waited until they begin to cover the
ground too much, they will make more
seed this way than when sown broad
cast or with grain drill Some even
recommend sowing rows and cultivat-
ing for hay. In either case there is OF
course less benefit to the soil than
where more seed is used but a peck
sown on well-prepared and well-fer.
tilted land will not only produce more
seed or hay than bushel put in in
slovenly, slipshod manner, but will
also add more nitrogen and more
humus to the soil.

necessarily require the names
on petitions to be identical with
names on enrolment lists. That
in the absence of positive instruc-
tions on the question from the
department at Lansing, all such
signatures will be counted, where
it is evident that the petitioner

SPRINGS FOR FARM WAGONS.
Big Saving in Comfort and Money Ef-
fected by Their Use.

big saving in money and in com.
fort could be made by the universal
use of springs on farm wagons. Per-
ishable products, like fruit, vegetables
and eggs, are greatly injured by be-
ing carried to market over rough
roads. The iolting and Earring from
springless wagons result in much in
jury to the load. This is often so
great that buyers will cut the price
from one-fourth-to one-third.
Peaches carried ten miles on a
springless wagon are often unfit to
ship when they arrive at the car. The
loss on this one crop alone is very
heavy. Large peach growers and or.
chardists know full we'll that their
fruit must be handled like eggs, so
they use light wagons with flexible
springs, and draw a small load. Small
farmers and growers, with only an
acre or two, cannot afford orchard
wagons but they would save enough
on each load to pay for good set
of bolster springs.
The use Of springs is also a great
comfort to the driver Of the load.
Furthermore, says Farm and Home,
they lengthen the life of the wagon,
because they take up the jolts and the
jars. Even for drawing grain, hay, po-
tatoes and other farm crops they are
very useful. The load rides much bet
ter, is not SO likely to shake off, and
the comfort to the driver, who must
spend a good share of his time on
the wagon. is unreasonable.
