Farm Standards Higher.

One thing that will cut considerable
ice in the labor question: The man
who has been studying the books and
good farm papers, and kept up with
the procession in new ways Of doing
things will find that he has better
grip on his job than the man who has
not Many man has kept his posi-
ton because he has taken an interest
In his work and has learned how to
farm according to modern methods
when other men could have been hired
in his place for One-third less wages
There Is no doubt that the standard
Of farm labor is getting into a higher
notch every year, and we have got to
hustle and learn about things by read
ing books, good farm papers and at
tending the institutes. Get the hunger
for reading, boys.

CHAPTER XI.

An aspiration ringing as a hOsanna
left the lips of Gideon Hope, as his steel
knit fingers met about the shrinking, quiv-
ering throat of the man whom he had
bounded down.

cd his soul, merging every emotion into
one all-absolving conception of vengeance
stern, swift, complete.
lie had found out his enemy .'-the
fruition of the task of the years was at
hand-a self-confessed murderer writhed
in his powerful grasp, and at his mercy
Before his eyes there seemed to float
a blur of blood. In lightning-quick
series the chair-oscuro Of events painted
the vivid pictures that grouped about this
present tragic denOuement a marvel-fring-
ed history Of rare human interest.
For this man-his victim, ROW
wrecker, swindler, political master, mil
llonaire-Gideon Hope had abandoned
ambition, position, happiness, peace.
He, Percy V. Kane. had robbed him
Of his brother and was about to steal
from him, too, the woman he loved.
And now, while the turbulent mob of
ward-beelers and excited sensation-seekers
surged in the street below, amid the crash
of all his millions and the disaster Of per-
manent political obliteration. Kane lay in
his clutch a broken, wretched, covering
thing.

Notes from the Dairy,

Bad cream will never make good
butter
Use only salt that is fine in quality
and grain for butter.
Cream left on the milk too long will
get bitter and rancid.
AS rule churning is put Off too
long in the winter time.
In the perfect creamery the animal
heat and odor are got rid of as soon
as possible.
The cream pot should have its con-
tents stirred every day at least, and
every time any cream is added. This
insures an even rlpenlng and better
quality Of butter.

On the eve of the Franco-German
war when the Emperor Louis Napo-
leon entered upon the conflict which
ended so disastrously to himself and
his couLtrymen couple of, strangers
appeared at a German town. They
brought with them a large packing
case, which on their arrival was car
rled to a hotel. Here the unknown Wis
itOrs remained some time and eventu-
ally disappeared without paying their
bill, which amounted to considerable
sum.
The landlord, whose curiosity had
often been aroused with reference to
the possible contents of the case, at
last determined to open it, and Oh do
ing so found a handsomely designed
and richly upholstered state chair.
This was adorned with the French inn
perial arms. eagle and Louis NapoleUh's
monogram. and beneath it was a musi-
cal box which played when the cushion
was sat upon.
1t is supposed that the throne-fol
such it is believed to have been-in the
event of success attending the French
army was to have been used by the
emperor at Berlin after the capture of
the German metropolis. Fate, however,
spoiled the imperial plans; hence the
sudden and precipitate flight of the
custodians of the chair. The widow Of
the hotel keeper few years later sent
it to England, where it eventually
found a purchaser.-Stray Stories.

To Cure Warts,

The common way of removing warts
by tying a silk thread around-too
often proves disappointing in that the
trouble returns In a short time, per-
haps In more malignant form. A
practical horseman declares this sim

cents worth Of bloodroot and 10 cents
worth Of chlorate Of zinc. Mix to-
gether In paste and put on twice
day. After two or three applications
grease with lard until the roots come
out.

A PLEA FOR THE PROTECTION
OF THE TRAILING ARBUTUs.

MT Editor: It may be timely, and there can certainly be no objection to calling the attention of all lovers of wild flowers of the early spring time, to the law in regard to the wilful de- struction of the trailing Arbutus, a law that was passed by the Conn. General Assembly convened at Hartford in 1899 and is to be found in Sec. 1924, General revision Statute of 1902, which reads as follows; to wit-Every person who shall wilfully destroy, pull up, tear up, or dig up any trailing arbutus from the land of another, or who shall sell, ex- pose for sale, or purchase, Hr have in his possession any trailing arbutus with the roots or underground stems at- tached, taken from land not owned or occupied by him, shall be fined not more than twenty (20 dollars.
 The above Act was passed for the protection of one of the most beautiful, most fragrant and most sought for of our earliest wild flowers for the reason that the plant is running out because of the careless thoughtlessness of many who go to gather the flowers. Let us all be carefully thoughtful, as bending over the lovely plant not to destroy its life giving powers, as by so doing, we kill, not only for ourselves but for those who are to come after us, "the goose that lays the golden egg"

it is better to have great deal of pa- tronage at a comparatively small price than to have small patronage at large price. And that is what we want to make them see in our case. Why do they give reduced rates to Bridgeport from Milford and Westport? Because by charging ten cents a conversation they get four or five times as many tolls as they would if they charged 25 cents. It is better to keep the wire occupied and get 50 cents or, a dollar out of it. than to have it idle most of the time and get 20 cents once in the same time. They give us low rate to Danbury presumably because they know we want to telephone to that Di- vision very often. They doubtless give us l5 cent rate to Woodbury because they think we must be frequently en- toying a social chat with the good neighbors across the river. But va riation in price is to be expected as the subscriber gives the Company more or less work or receives more or less val uable service. So distance is to be talk en into consideration. But in what does distance consist in the telephone business?
 The Annual Report of the Telephone Company puts it we'll when it says. Geographical neighborhood and tele- phonic neighborhood are two different things. Persons may live within a mile of each other and yet be telephon- ically separated by miles of wire and several switch boards; and in the tele- phone business it is telephonic neigh borhood which counts" It will be in- teresting to compare our telephone neighborhood to Danbury and Wood- bury with that to Bridgeport.
 We have direct wire to Bridgeport, and can be connected with a subscriber in that Division by only one extra switch h-board, with the same ease as we can be connected with subscriber |. in Danbury. We pay 5 cents for the Danbury connection and are willing to pay 10 cents for the Bridgeport con- nection in consideration of the extra distance. That is, we are telephonic neighbor to Bridgeport. But how about Woodbury? We have no direct wire to Woodbury. In order to talk with neighbor across the river. we must first call Up Danbury, then get connection to Waterbury, and then get connection to Woodbury and through the Woodbury exchange get connec- ton with our neighbor. That is the Tel ephone Company has to take our mes. sage over about 60 miles of wire and through four switch-poards. One would naturally think that it would cost us more than to Bridgeport. and one would like to know whether when the mile age basis is adpoted we shall be rated at the distance between Newtown and Woodbury direct or through sixty miles of wire. when we wish to talk with our neighbors "beyond the river?'
 I will in my next letter examine the matter of the interdependence ot the toll rates.
