Mr.. Brown of New York was spend
ing his summer at home while his
family was in the country. He lived
alone in the house and took his meals
at his club.
One evening Brown went home aft
er ii sunptGOus dinner. switched on
the lights and sat down in the library.
Presently key unlocked the front
door. and man came down the hall
and brougl,; up in the library door.
Brown noticed that his gait was some
what errat!c. and he had time While
the unknown was walking the length
of the hail t. wonder whether it was
owing to champagne or some base
fluid.
The stranger was a we'll dressed
man Of middle age, and he leaned up
against the casing of the door and took
Il long look at the man seated in the
chair before saying:
Well this is cool sort of proceed
ing. l must say
And If you will excuse the liberty
will say ditto" replied Brown.
"Who in the devil are you?"
THE same to you"
Look here, old fellow" said the
stranger as he advanced and sat down,
"but do you know that you have made
a mistaken"
II don't think so. L think you are the
one who has made the mistake, and
I'm waiting for you to apologize and
get out"
''See here. sir; this has gone far
enough" exclaimed Brown as he half
rose from his chair. You are drunk
and have blundered into the wrong
house and
Wrong houses"
"Certainly you are in the wrong
house
"Well, I'll be hanged! Say, now, but
what do you call yourself?"
MY names B-Brown."
Brown! Well, did ever! Why, you
miserable old soak, my name is Brown,
and this is my house! Good lands, it's
a wonder the police didn't run you in.'
Gently, sir, gently" said Brown No.
after look around the room. ''If a
gentleman wants to make hog of
himself and get full, that's his bust
ness, but l don't want to come home
and find him sprawled all over my
library as if he owned the whole
shebang 1t is years and years since l
gave fellow man the boot, but my
right foot is itching to kick you Will
you go out quietly?"
go out! Go out where?"
81 don't care copper so you leave
my house."
"Why, blast your swimming eyes,
this is my house! Where do you think
you are anyhow"
''In my house in Chicago"
"Ha, you are i'll my house in New
York! That's the result of guzzling too
mUIA WI w uN TIC ucflI uO you UO
it?"
''Sir, repeat that 1 am in my house
in Chicago"
"Sir, denounce you as an internal
liar!'
Both Browns arose. Both Browns
spat on their hands. Both Browns
prepared to enter into a mortal com
bat Then a key was heard in the door
and in walked a third man. Neither OF
the Browns could see him as he closed
the door and came slowly down the
hall. but they followed his footsteps by
ear and knew that he was party with
jag on. lie finally reached the Ii
brary door and there paused. as Brown
No. 2 had done. He stared and blinkel
for a moment and then exclaimed:
What in the devil is this? What art
you two scoundrels doing in my
house?'

HOUSEWIFE HINTS.

Add half cupful of milk to mush
and it will brown much nicer when
| fried.
Whipped cream served on top of a
freshly made squash pie adds much to
its appearance and flavor
A mixture of olive oil and black ink
will be found useful to paint the tips
of black kid gloves which are slightly
worn.
The carving knife and fork should
not be put into water. Hold them over
the dishpan and rub with the wet dish
cloth.
To remove a rusty screw first apply
very hot iron to the head for a short
time; then Immediately use the screw
driver.
Always save the water in which rice,
macaroni or anything of like nature
has been boiled. 1t is excellent for
soups, gravies, etc.
The best polish for engraved silver is
whiting and ammonia. 1t should be
applied with a soft brush, then rubbed
with cheesecloth or soft cotton cloths.
A mail box fastened to the wall near
the kitchen table is a most useful ar
ticle. Meat bills, grocery bills, etc,
that daily come into the house should
be dropped into it at once. When pay
day comes none will be missing.
A plumbing hint is never to put rock
salt in traps. 1t is true that the salt,
by absorbing moisture from the at
mosphere, will keep the traps full of
liquid, but the strong salt solution will
attack brass couplings and trap screws
and injure the glaze of porcelain.

The Lime SULPHUR Wash.

The lime sulphur wash is a winter
application and cannot be applied to
trees in leaf. 1t may be applied at any
time after the falling of foliage in
early winter and prior to the swelling
of the buds in spring. 1t will proba-
bly, be necessary also to make this ap-
plication every year or at least as Of
ten as the San Jose scale develops in
any numbers. The wash kills the San
Jose scale not only by direct caustic
action, but apparently also by reason
Of the coating on the trees, which re-
mains in evidence until midsummer or
later and may kill or prevent the set
fling of any young scale insects which
may come from parents escaping the
winter action.
Two applications may be given bad
ly infested orchards-one in the late
fall and the other in late spring Where
but one application is given the late
spring just before the buds open is the
best time.-C. L. Marlatt

Salt as a Fertilizer

Salt has long been recognized as va.
liable fertilizing agent, especially for use
on light, sandy or worn-out land. 1t il
claimed that an oat crop on such soil is
more than doubled by the use of salt.
Farmers of Northern Vermont have
been accustomed for many years to OBJ
tain their Fertilizing alt of G. s. Page
of Hyde Park, vt. The Salt he sells is
that which has been used on Hides,
Skins, etc., in his hidehouse and contains
more or less waste matter that really
adds to its fertilizing value. Last year
the demand far exceeded the supply and
Mr.. Pages stock was exhausted early in
the season, so that he was obliged to dis
appoint many farmers who sent in their
orders late. 1t is advisable, therefore,
that farmers who intend using Pages Salt
season should place their orders early.
The price this year is only $500 per
ton, f. o. b. Hyde Park. The railroad
company makes an especially low rate on
twelve ton carloads. If you will write
Mr.. Page, he viii tell you the exact rate
to your station.

1t was in the Gays before railways,

the paper in the air with a shout of

TREE PLANTING.
Successful Setting of Evergreens In
Dry, Wind Swept Regions.


Dry, Wind Swept Regions.
Fully 700 Of the progressive farm
ers Of Minnesota and the two Dakotas
were in attendance Mt the TTistate
Grain and Stock Growers association
at Fargo n. D., In what they regard
as the most successful convention In
the associations history. One day of
the convention was given over to hor-
ticulture and its various branches. The
subject of forestry was discussed by
G. II. Whiting a pioneer nurseryman;
Professor e. G. Cheyney of Minneso-
ta, Professor G. B. Waldron of the
North Dakota Agricultural college and
G. A. Kupfer of the United States for
est service. One of the speakers at
the convention made brief synopsis
of the points emphasized in the dis
cussion on tree planting as follows:
''There is no question regarding the
need for tree planting on the northern
prairies. Every attempt should be
made to protect the farm buildings,
animals and orchards from the severe
winds which are so hot and dry during
the summer and so terribly cold and
dry during the winter months. Com
fort in the home, complete success in
stock raising and the avoidance of
complete failure In orcharding demand
this.
TOO many of the poorer, quick
growing, short lived trees have hereto
fore been used in the establishment of
windbreaks and wood lots. Many Of
these are now declining. This is no
sign that they should be abandoned or
entirely cut away. With proper man.
agement many of the groves can be
made to reproduce themselves. Where
this is not advisable the dead and dy-
ing trees should be removed. The re-
naming trees will afford the shelter
required for establishing the new
groves, and before the last Of the old
trees are gone young ones will be
ready to take their places. This pro-
lection is especially valuable in case
evergreens are used for the purpose
of rejuvenation The evergreens form
the best windbreaks, and their extern
sive use cannot be too strongly urged.
"There is no wonderful secret~i sue
cessful evergreen planting. Care should
be taken to get hardy stock before
growth begins in the spring. Under
no circumstances should the roots be
permitted to dry out. Before planting
cultivate the ground carefully. Do not
set trees loosely in the ground. as this
permits them to be blown about by
the wind and gives the soil the best
conditions for drying. Firm the soil
about the trees with the heel and then
sprinkle a little loose dirt over the
frmed surface. A mulch of old straw
or hay spread over the ground between
the trees in the spring is very helpful.
In exposed places a hedge of willow
or Russian olive planted around the
conifers is almost essential.
cord wood is selling in the Dakotas
at from $4 to 81. While the demand
for fencepOsts in these three states is
not very great at the present time, it
will continue to grow as the country
develops and farming becomes more
extensive. When agricultural develop
ment becomes as great here as in
Iowa, where over $1,000000 worth of
posts are used annually, the annual
outlay for such material in these three
states will be enormous"

The Vermont wooden mills at Ludlow.
one OF the Oldest and best known
wooden manufacturing establishments
in the country, has been placed in the
hands Of receiver on the petition of
creditors Judge Martin of Brattleboro,
to when the petition was made, has
appointed Frank A. Walker of Ludlow
in charge of the affairs of the company.
1t is expected that the mill will con-
tinue operations when market condi-
tons warrant. The plant has been
closed for several months, but it was
hoped that work might be resumed
within short time of closing. When
the uufavorable conditions continued,
however, creditors became insistent,
and the receivership is the outcome Of
their petition.
