Farm GleaninGs.

Dairymen prefer to milk before they
clean the COW and horse stables. In
this way they miss the dust and odors
which arise when cleaning and feeding
is done.
There is no standard for Judging the
guinea fowl. They should, however, be
Of uniform shape, great activity and
reasonably good producers of eggs.
Their entire egg crop Is produced IN
summer.
In setting out the new fruit trees be
sure and leave plenty Of space between
them. You must make allowance for
the growth Of the years. Crowded trees
interfere with one another and have
their fruit bearing possibilities checked.
The potato storeroom must be dark,
cool, well ventilated and dry. There
should be a double floor beneath where
large quantities are piled together
There should also be opportunities for
ventilation at the walls, and at inter
walls through the pile.
Alfalfa in the orchard should have
every show possible. Allow the fall
growth to lie on the ground and then,
after the ground dries up IN the spring
the coat of dead vines should be burn

the farm than alfalfa.

Fox Frozen to Railroad Track.

Here is a fox hunting story from
Forest county: On November 16 Frank
De wilder, while walking down the track
of Clough's railroad, below the Beaver
Meaaows, noticed fox on the track.
His front feet We're on the rails as If in
the act of crossing. Mr.. De Wilder shot,
but the fox remained as at first noticed.
Upon a closer inquiry it was found that
the shot hit the cross tie just underneath
the animal, and Mr.. De Wilder proceeded
to slay him with the butt of his gun,
when he found to his surprise the front
feet of the fox frozen fast to the rails.
Mr. De Wilder brought the fox to Ma
rienvile on Saturday and Squire Brock

The "Pickle Look"

Prince Wilhelm of Sweden told a
New York reporter that Americans all
worked hard and looked happy.
In my country the prince went on.
1--WE work hard, too, but we have not
your happy look. Perhaps it is the eli
mate. At any rate, we tell story in
Sweden that is TYPICAL; story that will
give you some idea of our national ex-
preston, though not, I'm sure of our
national character.
"A Frenchman visited q Swede in
Stockholm. and one morning the two
friends set out for walk. Suddenly
the Frenchman exclaimed impatiently:
You lock as sour as pickle. Why
don't you smile? Why don't you have
a pleasant, good natUred air when you

boot and sometimes hurts the toe; but
it consists in rapidly but quickly passing
the foot in the moment the doc + is
opened. in order to secure, at any rate,
a few minutes parley." AS to what may
happen he writes: After long hesita-
ton it will be opened by a little girl
about half a foot and then you will
hear a distant voice from the washtub
in the rear. Well Sally. who is it?
Then Sally will answer at the top of her
voice Please. mother, it's religion.

mind to cope with that" The time came,
however, when every door was thrown
