An Unsuccessful Beacon.

Speaking OF the perversity Of
country 'squires." State Senator
John S. Fisher, chairman of the
Pennsylvania capitol investigation
commission, told this story recently:
We have an old codger out in
Indiana County who fears neither
lawyer nor court. Not long ago Dick
Wilson had case before the squire,
and knowing his man, he went to the
Office fortified with dozen or more
supreme court decisions.
Wilson argued his case, cited
several opinions, and finally re-
marked: Squire, I have here some
decisions by the Supreme Court of
Pennsylvania. which I shall read
Wilson finished one decision when
the justice interrupted. saying:
Mir Wilson, l reckon you've
read enough. Those Supreme Court
decisions are all right so far as they
go. but if the Supreme Court has
not already reversed itself have no
doubt that it will do so in the near
future. Judgment is, therefore,
given against your client New

Tenants Garry Of Their Farms.

The modern farmer was applying
electrical massage to a cart horses
sprained knee. During the intervals
of rest he talked farm talk.
There are tenants" he said, who
when they move carry their farms
with them as the tortoise does his
house. These people are the Norman
French. the worlds best farmers.
Where you or l would require
twenty or thirty acres of land to keep
one family, the French farmer will
keep a family on quarter of an acre.
If he choose to cultivate twenty or
thirty acres, he would become a mill
lionaire.
His secret lies in the perfection
to which he brings his top SOIL What
with fertilizing and watering and
clearing, his top soil is the blacklist,
finest, richest soil on earth. His top
soil is to the French farmer what her
voice is to prima donna.
And when he rents he contracts
that, on the termination of his lease,
he may carry of eighteen inches Of
the top soil with him.
When you see a French farmer
moving one small cart carries his
household goods and in seven or eight
enormous drays his top soil numbers

Millet on the Farm.

Many farmers find it an advantage
to seed such fields in the summer to

the year. When it happens that the

when these places in the field can not

Number of Eggs in Year.

Prof. Graham, OF the Ontario Ag'
ricultural College at Guelph, says:
Il find it a very difficult matter to
get an accurate idea of the number OF
eggs that the average hen in the
province Of Ontario produces in a
year. I am very much inclined TO be-
lieye that the average hen does not
produce eighty eggs in twelve months.
l believe the average hen at the av-
erage experiment station does not
produce ITO eggs per year. One
would expect that at the various ex-
pertinent stations and colleges which
are scattered over the United States
and Canada they would get probably
as good an average production as on
the poultry farm. They have many
conditions present which are not pres
ent on the average farm, and they
have other conditions that are prob
ably more favorable. Considering all
things, we should get somewhere near
the average production at the expert
ment station.
Il have come to the conclusion that
the average production is somewhere
about 100 eggs. At the Maine station
they had a production of 100 eggs
per hen on an average. They hare
been working on the trap nest sys-
TEN for number of years, and as far
as know, their record last year was
1874 eggs per hen which means that
they had a gain of about fourteen
eggs per hen over earlier records. l
think that you produce a wonderful
improvement by selection in the first
one or two years. and after that prog
ress becomes slow. You must have
great many conditions favorable TO
make advancement. From what
Prof. Gowell has told me, they had
not used any males in their breeding
pens that have not been produced
from hens that produce 200 eggs per
hen per year. All the hens, in their
breeding pens have been bred from
hens that laid 160 eggs per year, SC
they might BE- termed strong pro.
ducers. No hen is used for breeding
purposes Until after her egg record
has been known for twelve months.

Roadless America.

From the maledictions scattered
broadcast in the mire of roadless
America by despairing bicyclists
fifteen years ago hopes of better
things have taken root No gift of
prophecy is now required to foresee a
time when these hopes will have so
far materialized that a team, if it is
a good one, will be able to haul an
empty wagon over the gumbo roads
of the Mississippi Valley in spring,
and the public highways of the South
will be so well buoyed that light
draught automobiles may navigate
them in comparative safety.
From every part of the country
comes the same encouraging news.
Sixteen States now have highway
commissions that are trying in va.
rious ways to supply the greatest
need of the nation, which is good
roads. At one extreme is New York,
which, in 1905, voted to expend $780,
100000 in building roads. Under
the plan adopted the State will build
and maintain 1882 miles connecting
the principal cities, and pay one-half
the cost of 400 miles of local roads
to be built by the counties.
At the other extreme is Iowa, the
third State in the Union in extent of
road mileage, where the use of the
public highways is so vast that If
teams enough could be assembled to
do in one day all the travelling done
in the State in year the line would
reach once and a half around the
earth, which doles out an annual ap-
preparation of $4,000 to defray the
expenses of the State college faculty
while acting in the capacity of high
way commission. - Technical World

What is Pe-ru-na,

Are we claiming too much for Peruna
when we claim it to be an effective
remedy for chronic catarrh? Have we
abundant proof that Peruna is in real.
ity such catarrh remedy? Let US see
what the United States Dispensatory
says of the principal ingredients of
Peruna.
Take, for instance, the ingredient
hydrastis canadensis, or golden seal.
The United States Dispensatory saws
of this herbal remedy, that it is largely
employed in the treatment Of depraved
mucous membranes lining various
organs of the human body.
Another ingredient of Peruna, cory.
dalis formosa, is classed in the United
States Dispensatory as q tonic.
Cedron seeds is another ingredient of
Peruna. The United States dispense.
tory says of the action Of cedron that
it is used as a bitter tonic and in the
treatment of dysentery, and in inter.
mittent diseases as a substitute for
quinine.

Buttermilk From Skim MIX.

The best and most palatable kind
OF buttermilk can be made from skim
milk in the following way, writes
Prof. o. F. Hunziker. OF Purdue Uni
versity, Ind:
Allow the skim milk to sour ana
curdle, either by adding good starter
or by letting it sour naturally, at i
temperature of about seventy degrees
F. When the curdling has reached
the stage where the milk begins TO
whey on, put it into churn (aay
kind of churn will dc for this) and
add about one-fourth TO one-third of
its bulk of buttermilk 10 it. Even
smaller amounts OF buttermilk Will
answer the purpose.
Now churn the mixture until the
curd in the skim milk is completely
broken up. The churning should be
continued until all the Jumps have
entirely disappeared and the mixture
has become homogeneous. This is
usually accomplished in from ten 10
fifteen minutes. The contents of the
SAuiH are NJ" ESad! 4CE cOusuulpllOL.
This preparation is by far superior
to buttermilk made in the ordinary
way. 1t has more body. is smooth
and velyety, and has mild, rich and
agreeable buttermilk flavor, which is
highly relished by the consumer.
Upon standing, the curi does not
separate out and whey or as readily
as is the case with the ordinary but
termilk.

Market Demand For Hogs.

Before the annual meeting OF the
National Association of Expert Swine
Judges J. ]. Ferguson, OF Chicago,
gave an illustrated lecture on the
market demands for swine. In part
he said:
"Of necessity packers can have no
choice as to breed or color, since
there is a place ard use for every
grade of hog coming to the Stock
Yards. The market almost any day
will show a range from the heavy
SOW or stag weighing 700 TO 500
pounds down to the light shipper pig
of forty to fifty pounds weight.
The demand for hogs of various
weights and the prices paid depend
upon the market for lard and pro-
visions. When the supply of lard is
short the price of lard advances and
consequently heavy lard hogs are in
demand. with prices correspondence
advanced. Ii at any time the market
for lard is slow and the supply ample
the lightweight hog suitable for pro.
ducing high-class hams and bacon
will bring top prices.
Under average conditions the hog
worth the most money in the open
market will weigh from 200 to ESQ
pounds. He should be smooth and
evenly covered, without any excess
of fat over the shoulders, along the
back or on the hams. Good length
and depth OF side is desirable since
the side mat is cured into bacon,
which sells for more money than any
other part of the hog carcass.
Those qualities most desirable in
pure-bred hogs for breeding purposes
are also in demand by the packer,
viz. smooth, even quality, with even
fleshing, and an absence of coarse
ness OF any part or surplus develop
ment OF bone.
The tendency of the time is stead.
ily toward lighter and leaner cuts OF
meat. Farmers will find it much
more profitable to produce the early
maturing middle-weight packer hog
above mentioned.
In this connection it is interesting
to note the leading experimental sta
tons have clearly demonstrated that
the gains made by hogs up to this
weight-200 or ESQ pounds-are
made much more economically than
those put on after the hogs have
passed this weight"

To Increase the Yield.

Here are some suggestions from
Hoard's Dairynan to the farmer
limiting at the course that he must
follow if he is to improve his dairy
herd and derive greater profit.
The farmer must make up his mind
to read more and know more than he
has known about the true meaning
of his business.
He must breed better. stop buying
poor, cheap bulls and the production
of poor cows. The fountain head OF
better quality in the COW is the char
acter OF the sire.
Create better conditions in the
stable. Give the COW better air to
breathe, better food to eat, good wa.
ser 10 drink and cleaner conditions to
live in
Weed out the cows vigorously.
Don't be slow about it. Dry them off
aid sell them to the butcher. Buy
the best neifers of the best cows you
can find and start the making of a
good COW on your farm.
Don't think fifty or sixty dollars is
too much to pay for a first-class COW,
provided you are sure she is healthy.
The men who come around to buy
your good cows pay these prices, and
ten TO one If they don't get them away
from you. A COW that will earn in
gross fifty dollars year pays big
interest on her cost above the cost
of keep. 1t amounts to thirty-three
per cent. If you pay sixty dollars, as.
Stunning she costs thirty dollars to
keep her, and it can be done for that
easily if you have siio and will grow

Has Memorized 10000 Dates.

young man of twenty-three years, is

had for dates, advised him to cult

of Haydn's Dictionary of Dates"
and sought to commit to memory thu
dates of the most important events
in the worlds history by writing fifty
to 100 dates on piece of paper, and
rewriting them three or four times
until he had fully grasped them, with
the result that he has a repertoire Of
thousands of dates, and can give the
correct answers without the slightes.
