Farm Wisdom,

The wise farmer uses an account
book all the year.
This is the time to get next years
feed supply ready.
Guesswork seldom pays. You can't
always guess right.
A poor pasture often makes unruiy
fence breaking stock.
Clover In the orchard and pigs in the
clover Is about right
Wood ashes are too valuable as fer
tilizers to be thrown away.
The small farmer usually stands the
best chance of winning.
It's the closely fed pasture that is
sure to be close another year
Sheep are great when it comes to put
ting fertility back into the SOIL
A good line fence will preserve
friendly feelings between neighbors.
The size of the profit does not neces-
sarily depend upon the size Of the farm
Manure never contains a greater sup
ply Of plant food than when it is first
made.-Kimbalrs Dairy Farmer

Bran For Work Horses.

Armitage the author Of several
works on horses, including one bear.
ing the suggestive title, How to Feed
the Horse, Avoid Disease and Save
Money" says: Bran will be found on
analysis to contain from IA to IS per
cent Of azotised matter, equal In fact
to barley and oats. In nutrition, how
ever, 1t Is inferior to oat straw. 1t is
very indigestible, and in consequence
does not furnish its beneficial ingredi.
ents to the system"
Every horseman Of experience knows
that 1t is impossible to have hard work
on bran and hay and that the horse so
fed Is soft" sweats easily and pro-
fusely and soon becomes fatigued The
racing trainer and the hunting man
will have nothing to do with bran as
food.-NatiOnal Stockman.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS.
Easy to Raise and Profitable If Prop
erly Marketed.

cry MdTketSo'
Brussels sprouts may be easily
grown in the ordinary home vegetable
garden. The plant is close relative OF
the cabbage and caulihower, but In
stead of producing a single head forms
q number of small ones in the axis OF
the leaves, and these heads are called
sprouts and are the edible part Of the
vegetable. The sprouts average one or
two inches in diameter.
The seed should be sown in the open
ground as early as the weather per-
mits. When the plants are three inches
high they should be transplanted or
thlnned out into rows twenty-four to
thirty inches apart and about two feet
apart In the row. The plants must be
we'll watered after they have been
moved
As the small sprouts begin to crowd
the leaves should be broken from the
stem to give the small heads more
room. A few leaves should be left at
the top Of the stem where the new
heads are formed.
In warm climates the plants may be
left in the open ground all winter, the
heads being removed as desired, but
in more northern ATTITUDES plants that
are we'll laden with heads are taken up
when frost comes and set close to-
gether in a pit or cellar or "cold
frame" or bed covered with glass.
With a little soil packed about their
roots they may in this way be kept all
winter, being used when needed. When
boiled or stewed with cream they are
delicious.

Machinery For the House.

While the farmer is buying machin-
cry for the farm he should not forget
that the good housewives work may
be lightened by some up to date ma
chimes and conveniences. The old dash
churn should be relegated TO the gar
ret to be kept as relic Of the hard
ships Of the farmers wives Of the past.
The very best washing machine on the
market should be purchased. By all
means water should be brought into
the kitchen. There are now many
ways to do this, any Of which will be
better than the old way Of carrying
It in. A bathroom is needed worse, If
possible, on the farm than in town,
and the expense Of fitting one ur need
not be very great-W. D. Zinn IN Ma

GRASS CULTURE.
Forethought and Intelligent Super
vision Insure a Good Lawn.

FoFctUpu9nt anu iHbSlli9oHh OuP0T-
vision Insure Good Lawn.
Great care should be taken by the
gardener with his lawn. 1t is the can
vas upon which he will paint his fow-
er bed pictures and landscape effects.
To be successful he must prepare his
canvas we'll.
The first thing is to grade the
ground, smoothing rough surfaces,
making proper level stretches and gen.
tie slopes. If possible, the lawn should
slope from the house. The grading
should be done so as to distribute
evenly all surface water, avoiding the
formation Of little runs which might
produce washouts.
The soil should be enriched with a
liberal supply of well rotted manure.
This H essential where the soil is lack
ing in humus; otherwise bone meal or
other good fertilizer is useful. and ma
nure often contains the seed Of weeds.
The ground should be plowed or spad-
ed not less than eight inches deep. re-
moving all the stones and similar ma
terial, and the surface made as smooth
as possible. Then it is ready for SOW
ing.
One of the best mixtures for the
lawn is four parts Kentucky blue grass
with one part Of white clover, sown
not less than five bushels to the acre.
Equally good results are usually OBJ
tanned by the use Of redtop in place
Of the blue grass or with equal parts
of redtop and blue grass and little
white clover. When moisture is plen-
tiful the blue grass forms softer turf
than the redtop, but does not seem to
endure drought so well. In shady
places the blue grass mixture is best.
Nothing but pure seed should be sown.
1t is well to be liberal with the seed,
not to scatter 1t too thinly and to re-
seed portions that come up poorly.

Hook EN-, SniHy.

An outdoor game played by any
number Of person with ring at the
end Of a long cord tied to the limb of
tree. A hook is driven into the trunk
Of tree, and the players in order try
to swing the ring so that it will catch
on the hook. He who succeeds scores
point.
Instead of n tree, an upright post
with a crossbar is sometimes used.
And instead of one hook a board can
be arranged with several hooks, each
of which has 4 number under it. In
this case the successful thrower scores
the number of the hook on which he
hangs the ring. After any number Of
turns agreed on he who has scored the
highest number of points wins the
game

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Preparing For churnina.

Before putting the cream into the
Ehurn the churn should be scalded thor
oughly with hot water and then rlnsed
well with pure, cold water. This will
freshen the churn and will I'll the
pores Of the wood with water so that
the cream and butter will not stick.
Let me say right here that we think
that the churn has n great deal to do
with the appearance of the butter. We
use an ordinary barrel churn because
it churns easily and quickly and there
Is no dasher or paddles inside to beat
and break the grain and make the but
ter look like lard with butter coloring
In 1t.
All cream should be thoroughly
strained into the churn This removes
the possibility Of white specks In the
butter, which usually consist OF cuyd
or dried particles of cream.
Butter should be churned until the
granules are about the size Of wheat.
When larger than this, 1t is more diff
cult to remove the buttermilk and dis
tribute the salt.-Mrs. Woolman Before
Indiana Dairy Association.

The late DR.. Edward Vaughan Ke
nealy, who appeared as counsel fol
the Tichborne claimant. was well &C.
quainted with many Of the celebrities
OF his time. In the memoirs which
his daughter has published there are
some piquant passages. Here is what
he had to say in his diary about Bull
wer Lytton:
"Dined tonight with the lord chief
justice, Lord Houghton, Bulwer Lyt-
ton and other senators and ladies.
Bulwer LyttOn is a clown. He was
shabbily dressed and sided into the
room with slouching air and gait. He
held his hat in his hand as though
about to drop 1t and looked as though
he did not know what to do with his
legs. He gaped. his eye was lacklus-
tered. and he said nothing. 1t Is al
most impossible to believe he wrote
the works which pass under his name.
His wife says he did not write them.
He has great nose like Fitzball or
Bardolph, but not so red as the lat
ter's. He has cut off his beard, and
the hairs are scanty and scrubby down
his lank Don QuixOte jaws. l expect
ed fine gentleman, perhaps fop like
his own Devereux or like Bolingbroke,
and l saw a crapulous fossil. He took
Mrs. Round down to dinner, but never
spoke a word to her, remaining silent
or mumbling to himself. l think Cock
burn was ashamed Of him, and. al
though he asked him especially to meet
me, he did not venture to solicit my
opinion Of him. But l told it to him.
And he was ashamed Of his guest"

Between Supper and Breakfast.

Many persons, says well known
doctor, though not actually sick, keeT
below par in strength and genera
tone, and he is Of the opinion thai
fasting during the long interval be
tween supper and breakfast, and espe
cially the complete emptiness of the
stomach during sleep, adds greatly tC
the amount Of emaciation, sleepless
ness and general weakness we so often
meet. 1t is logical to believe that the
supply Of nourishment should be some
what continuous, especially in those
who are below par, If we would coun
teract their emaciation and lower de
gree Of vitality, and as bodily exer-
else is suspended during sleep. with
wear and tear correspondingly dimin.
ished, while digestion, assimilation and
nutritfve activity continue as usual,
the food furnished during this period
adds more than is destroyed, and in.
creased weight and improved general
vigor are the results-London Globe.

A Theater DIALOGUE,

The curtain had fallen on the frs
act at a Broadway theater when {
man, correctly attired and apparently
Of refinement, leaned toward a woman
occupying a seat directly in front OF
nina woman who had naturally re
moved her hat but whose hair was
arranged in the extreme of fashion
aided by "boughten" puffs.
Il beg your pardon, madam" said
the man in an audible whisper, "but II
you would remove your hair and sub
stitute your hat 1 believe would be
able to see something more Of the
stage"
The woman didn't scream. She
didn't even faint. She merely turned
around and replied:

I'd slap your face."-New York Globe

with thirty-six pigs weighing about
fifty pounds each that in cheapness
the feeds used ranked as follows;
Corn and skimmilk cheapest, corn
and alfalfa second, corn and red clover
third. corn and blue grass fourth. corn
and rape fifth, corn and ship stuff
sixth. Corn, skimmilk and alfalfa are
great swine foods.

a Word For the Farmer,

Riley, the Indiana farmer who bred
the Boone county white ceTH, was an
ordinary farmer. not a scientific exper-
imenter Yet his variety 10 grown az
tensively over a dozen Of the great
corn states and has added thousands
upon thousands Of dollars to the valua-
ton Of the corn crop Of the world.
Many Of the standard varieties Of our

such service to humanity will be rec
ognized and recorded In history as are
the noteworthy deeds Of other great
men in other fields Of human industry.
