HOUSE AT MADISON
\ Haven of Rest for Self-Supporting
 Young Women.

Madison, Aug 7.-The Vacation House in Madison is becoming wide 1 ly known as haven of rest for self supporting young women in this
 state, while several from Massachu-
 setts have availed themselves of the
 advantages and comforts of a few
 weeks outing at one of the most
 charming locations on the sound.
 The Connecticut Association of
 Women Workers first instituted summer abiding place in Madison in 1893, by leasing an old residence
 near the center of the village. Later another place was selected as the
 work enlarged, until eight years ago. when Miss Edith Woolsey of New Haven furnished means for the erection of the attractive and spa cious building near West Wharf,
 which is fittingly entitled to bear the name of Vacation House."
 The house commands a fine view of the sound and is but two min utes' walk from the shore. Wide verandas on the west and north sides of the house are comfortably furnished. A beautiful view of the country is obtained to the north, while the most delightful views of Long Island are to be had from the other three sides of the house. The living room is finished in hard wood and is very attractivelI fur nished. The fireplace proves a nec- essary convenience during a cool season.
 The large dining room contains three extension tables and a side board One table, a set of chairs and the sidebOard were presented by Waterbury people. The dining and living rooms are connected by a wide doorway. the two rooms being finely adapted for the numerous en- tertainments give1 throughout the season.

COTTON PLANTING THOUGHTS.

Now is the time to think about the
price of cotton next fall. By diversi-
flying and properly restricting cotton
acreage the total yield can be kept
within limits where the price will be
satisfactory. That is really the only
sure way of playing the game. The
spectators have all along tried to
frighten the farmers with two bug
bears; first, that the mills had sup
plies to last for two years; second,
the mills would close down. Well, an
idle mill is a dead loss to the owner,
it can not be turned to anything else;
whereas the farmer a change his
cotton factory to a corn, oats, wheat,
cabbage and potato factory. and still
manage to get returns for his invest
ment and his labor. Hence, il the
farmer will but intelligently regulate
his prices by the law of supply and
demand, there a be no reason, out.

ECONOMY CARRIED TOO FAR.

Old Mans Thrift That Led Him Into
Ridiculous Action.

-ssH3 sf gfsvt 4
President J. G. .Schurman OF Cornell
was discussing elective college
courses, Of which in.the freshman and
sophomore years. he disapproves.
TIA freshman ollie orf1L" Said Pres
ident Schurman, lis too young to
choose for himself the courses best
for him. His mind, is not mature
enough. It will make mistakes.
I'm its immaturity, its proneness to
error, it is like the mind of an old
man in my native Freetown. He,
though old. was mentally undeveloped,
and saw nothing wrong or ridiculous
in a piece of economy that he put in
practice in the cemetery.
"The old man had lost four wives,
and desired to erect for each a head
stone, with an inscription commemora-
tive OF her wifely virtues.
"But inscriptions, he found, were
very expensive. He economical in
this way:
HE had the Christian name of each
wife cut on a small stone above her
grave-"Emma," Mary" Hester"
Edith" Under each name a hand
pointed to a large stone in the CEN
ter Of the lot, and under each hand
were the words:
"tFor epitaph see large stone.'"

THE FREE SEED FAKE.

The following from the Denison
(Texas) Herald is worth reading. The
use to which the seed distribution has
come is a shame. Congressman un-
dertake to use this privilege for per-
sonal advantages, for political advan-
tage and occasionally there is a per
son mislead in this way. If the gov
eminent is to spend thousands of dol
lars for seed and the distribution Of
them, it should not be done through
the Congressman. Undoubtedly the
practice is a bad one, but one which
few members of Congress are to give
up. Read what the Herald says:
"The mails recently have been heavily
laden with garden seeds and the def
cit in the postal department is thus
added to. The intent of this seed dis.
tribution was undoubtedly good, but
it has reached proportions and is
handled in such a manner that 1t is
very hard indeed to see where the
people who have to foot the bill de-
rive any benefit from it."

MAKING FARMING Paw.

There Is no way CT making farming
pay except by making each day con.
tribute something to the profit OF the
farm. Line upon line, precept upon
precept. day by day-these are the
rules OF successful farming. Neglect,
indifference, lack of continuous labor
these are fatal. Nature never stands
still. Work In her laboratory goes on
every day in the year and every hour
of the twenty-f6ur in each day. The
farmer must initiate nature in this.
He ought tosreguIate his work SO as I'd
secure the greatest results with the
greatest comfort. There are periods
OF the year when the weather does
not permit him to work out Of doors,
but these days can be well occupied
about the house and the barn.
Moreover, a man is a thinking ma
chine, and the farming man should
be thinking about farming methods.
We do not mean that he should think
of nothing else, but If he Is going to
have satisfaction in, and good results
from, his work he must put himself
into 1t. He must put his thoughts up.
on his crops, UPON his soil, upon his
markets. He ought to keep a record;
If not a daily record. a diary. He
ought to keep a running story Of the
years work so that he may know next
January what he did wrong last Jan.
uary, or what he failed to do at all,
what he ought to have done, or what
he did that turned out well. 1t will
not do to trust to ones memory for
these things. Time plays us many
tricks, and as we get older we re.
member many things that did not hap
pen, and we forget the things that
everybody about us well remembers.
Do not suppose that you can make
money on the farm in any happy-go-
lucky manner. What you want is me.
thodical work, continuous work, intel.
ligent work. The future belongs to
the American farmer. He has done
in this year work that has saved the
whole country from disaster, but un.
less it has saved the individual farm.
err from disaster he will take little
comfort in it. When we say that the
future belongs to the American farm.
er we do not mean that it belongs
to the indolent farmer, nor to the
negligent farmer, nor to the farmer

it does not happen to him. 1t belongs
to the industrious farmer, the intelli.

THE VALUE OF THE COW.

The value of any property is deter.
bined by the rate of interest it will
pay on the investment, and the same
is true of a COW. The owner should
know just how much her feed costs
for the year. Then figure a reason.
able amount as a sinking fund with
which to replace her when she is worn
out. Statistics show that ten years
is about the average length OF time
that a cow is useful. Next, there
should be something figured for the
care of the cow. Estimating a years
feed at $50; sinking fund, So, which
would be ample since the old carcass
should bring a little, and SIP for the
cows care, would make a total of $45
per year. The owner will never get
full pay IL the cow gives him less
than $50 pounds OF butter fat. In or.
der to come out just even, then she
must give that amount of butter fat,
for which must be received 20 cents
per pound, and as the writer above
mentioned suggests, the M must
have 1000 pounds of hand-separated
milk at Is cents per hundred pounds.
Besides this there must be a calf
worth SIS when dropped: If it takes
the calf, skim milk and $50 pounds OF
butter fat to pay the bills, the cow
Which gives 200 pounds of butter fat
is paying a profit of $11. The COW
that a add another 100 pounds of
butter fat is paying $22 more in but
ter fat and skim milk, or $33 more
than the COW giving $50 pounds of
butter fat and just paying her board
bill. Add another 100 pounds of but
ter fat to her record (400 pounds OF
butter fat is not a hard record to
reach), and there is to her credit SIS
net profit, or an income of an even
500 per year.

grown so fixed an affair that neither
party ever dreamt of making up"

servant next door with a peace-making
note for Mr.. Perkins, which read:
"Mr. Brown sends his compliments

There are SO many things connected
with farming that must be done look.
ing to the future that no one should
engage in the business unless he ex-
poets to stay with it. Lands require
some time to bring them to a proper
condition for producing the sort o.
crops desired, trees require years to
reach a profit-making point, animals
must be bred up to the style desired,
pastures must be almost literally
hewn out of the wild, and so on with
the thousand and one things that go
to make up the different interests of
the farm.
