 All "parlor" effect had been careful ly guarded against; it was library, art gallery, music room, reading room, living room, studio-anything but a parlor. Over the piano hung high a plaster head of mountain sheep, by Americas premier sculptor, Edward kemeys, and under it a bowling coy ete, in red clay, by the same master hand. Three of Boutwood's most beau tiful water colors were on the walls, Burne-Jones' Hope" water color in Clusmann's best vein, one etching, a rarely beautiful monotype fetching ly' framed in black and silver, three amateur photographs of river scenes in Illinois, and an apple orchard in full bloom, and pair of smaller wa ter colors. Under the Kemeys work were oval gilt frames, small, with pic lures of Emily Bronte, Goethe, As pasia, Pericles and Cecile. In my judgment she looked well in that dis tinguished company.
 A word as to the framing of pie lures. It has cost me 25 years of thought, study and faithful attendance at art galleries to have arrived at a fair judgment as to the framing of a picture. l grope sometimes, framing a picture four or five times before get the right effect. Most framing is an abortion. No picture is properly framed if the frame strikes you at once as the main effect. Framing should be blending, and as simple as the columns of the Parthenon.

This front room had also cluster of the famous artists and musicians, framed unobtrusively in passe-partout, and grouped at one side of the room. The entire effect of this room, as well as the dining room, was a subdued red and gold. Lace curtains at the win doWs, hung over Indian-red shades, and spray of lastyear sumach, still ruddy, completed this impression. The plan of this room was what might be termed of a semi-studio type. No old armor to strike pictorial discord, but a tang of novelty, with immediate sen sations of restfulness and beauty. use the last word of this sentence ad- yisedly
 The dining room had on three of it's wall spaces old English prints, two of them fishing scenes, one of them a hunting field, with the riders in full tilt. These scenes were each colored smartly, and framed in red mahogany frames.
 At side of the south wall were hung numerous snapshots of hunting scenes, in many of which I had fig ured. Deer-shooting, turkey-shooting, hunting quail, prairie chickens, ducks, jacksnipe, woodcock, quaint photo graphs of old-time hunters taken in the wildernesses I had traversed, and of wild game, made a novel gallery of reminiscence and quaintness most in- teresting to a hunter, and always noted by anyone entering the room.
 l wish l could give an adequate idea of the exquisite beauty of these rooms with the sun shining in on them, vases of old-fashioned roses, nasturtiums, lilies, violets and wild flowers adorn- ing the table and desk, and that un- namable repose which the Hull of the winds made in the naples outdoors. This was indeed to live; to have a home. The rarity of these rooms was felt instantly by those to the manor born, the instant they entered them. They were quite right in their ex- clamations of delight; their protesta- tions of immediate appreciation.
 We had given time, culture, tact, keen perception and years of gradual

to blend with this perspective became reverence.
 To begin with, it was necessary to repaper the two front rooms. These had been, originally, parlor and bedroom. By having a door cut through to the kitchen, the bedroom was converted into a dining room. Plain Indian-red paper, the best, in our opinion as background for pie lures, was laid on these walls, and molding to match set in. Portiere rods were put in the doorways, and two doors taken from their hinges and re- placed by the portieres. These draperies were a rich Indian-red, and the rods, of course, were invisible.
 The piano, in a reddish brown wal nut case, stood at the south side of the room On the floor we laid mat ting, of a red and gold irregular pat tern. The single table in the front room was of mission make, of weath- cred oak, with a reddish buckskin cover on it, and red lamp, with red globe. on the cover. The ceiling had been laid with dull gold paper, and the borders Of the room of the same color. Chairs and rockers were of mahogany, and of corresponding tint to paper and mating.
 In a little alcove in the northeast corner of this fronC room my writing desk and typewriter stood, fanked by a stand containing the Encyclope- dia Britannica on one side, the dic- tionary on a revolving stand on the other, and with case of reference books near at hand. This little nook was my workshop. All around this front room were arranged bamboo bookcases of various sizes, filled to overflowing with books of all sorts and kinds, with very few of the famous books of the world missing.

A farmer near Mckinney, Texas, has marketed thirty bushels of turnips the past season from a quarter of an acre. The seed cost him 10 cents and he sold the product at 60 cents per bush el He was well paid for the time he took to plant, take care of and market the turnips and he had something to sell when he went to town instead of going there to buy a wagonload of something he could have raised.

When the Union came to William son County in 1903 the Commercial said then-when it was unpopular to do so-When some newspapers were denouncing it as political machine that the farmer ought to organize. These newspapers and politicians be- gan to cast aspersion on the Union, but it grew steadily They then jumped in the band wagon when the Union became powerful and popular. But now that the crisis has come in it's history-the time when all true farmers and patriotic citizens should stand together against common ene- my-the old enemy-the latter pro- fessed friends are growing cold and lukewarm in their support. The Com mercial earnestly urges every member of the Union who loves his home and family, his rights and the great cause of justice, to stand firm today. Be steadfast, though the dark cloud come. There is victory ahead. Defeats and disappointments, panics and gambling will pass away. Put none but true, loyal, unselfish men on guard, local, county, district, State and National. Then all is well, and the Farmers Un- ion will triumph. Let us stand to- gether now."-Austin Statesman.

GET THE TREE-PLANTiNG HABIT

Nothing so adds to the beauty of a homes outward appearance as pretty shade trees. It makes the home look permanent, comfortable, prosperous, inviting. When one sees a nice shady lawn, he feels like going in to rest, and he never comes home, tired, hot and dusty from his days work, if he has such a yard of his own, that he does not breathe an involuntary pray CT of thankfulness for Gods blessed trees.
 Nothing so adds to the outward ap- pearance of town as streets lined with trees. The stranger feels perfectly at home, though he may not know hu- man soul, in the ordinary sense. It was man of true feeling who wrote, "One touch of nature makes the whole world kin" Trees, natures splendid exemplars, make the stranger wish to stay. Many Arlington people are planting trees. They are adding to the comfort and the beauty of their homes, and at the same time doing a 1 great good for the town. Get the tree planting habit.-Arlington Journal.

her industriously. The wild flags that grew at some wayside pool drew shrieks of gladness from her childish throat.
 Through the flowers she learned the different colors, and remembered from time to time the different trees, until she could tell them by their peculiari- ties, one from the other. For us all the cord of the life that was, from the life that is, had been shorn like a Gordian knot, and the home in the country had taken on the spirit of the only life we had ever known.
 Faintly indeed came the occasional
 echoes that told of the interminable seethe of the city we had left. We had shaken the dust of the metropolis from our sandals, end rarely letter flut- tered in, like a white bird, to tell oi the days that were. Each day in the country seemed long spell of peace;
 we were having time to dream, time | to think, time to live. Life was not
 now one glittering kaleidoscope o1 trivialities. We had actually returned | to the soil, made ourselves one with streams and trees, one with dawn and sunset, one with the moon and stars It was a strange and intensely inter 1 esting metamorphosis, to realize that
 we had slipped the noorings and | away, that we were in the land of the 1 lotus eaters,

Profits in Pork.

Why do not the farmers put up more
Of their pork, cure it and sell 1t in the
summer? This would bring more profit
than marketing the hog to the butcher.
The American Agriculturist has made
careful estimate of the waste in
Strengthening hogs at home, which shows
facts that will be profitable to the pork
raiser. Take hog weighing at home
200 pounds, on basis Of scent mar
ket, live weight. Its value is $40. If
fat, the hog loses about 20 per cent, or
40 pounds, leaving 100 pounds edible
portion. Approximately the dressing
will be: Two hams, 30 pounds; two
shoulders, "a pounds; four strips ba-
con, 2S pounds; spare ribs, head, feet
and backbone. IS pounds, leaving about
45 pounds for sausage and lard. The
meats to be smoked will increase about
10 per cent in weight in the pickle,
but lose about the same as the dress
ing weight. The following are very
conservative prices for a country dress
ed hog: Thirty pounds ham, at IA
cents. $42O; % pounds bacon, at Is
cents, S4.20; "a pounds shoulder, at 8
cents, $216; As pounds lard or sausage,
at 1917 cents, $500; 25 pounds back
bone, spare ribs, ETC., at 6 cents, $3.50 !;
soap fat, about IS cents; total, $17.e1 !;
cost Of hog, $40; profit, $7.91.

Selecting Dairy Cows.

While there may be no infallible rule
hy~which a man can be governed in Sc
lecting high-class dairy COW, there
are many points that will assist and if
carefully considered will prevent dis
appointment as a rule. Remember that
a COW is machine and is intended to
change the different products on which
she is fed into something of more value.
There are two distinct types of these
machines. One manufactures or con-
verts feed into beef; the other into
milk. There is a very decided and pro-
nounced difference in the type of the
animal that makes beef ard the one
which manufactures milk. In the dairy
type we have an animal that is angu-
lar, thin, somewhat e-jointed and
with prominent bones. She Is wedge
shaped from the front, with lean
head, moderately long face slightly
dished and a general contented express
sion Of the features. The muzzle Is
large, mouth large, nostrils wide and
open, clear, full bright eye, broad,
full and high forehead, ears medium
size, fine texture. covered with fine
hair and orange yellow inside. The neck
is thin. moderately long, with little or
no dewlap, and the throat is clean.
Wide space between the jaws, the
withers lean and sharp, the shoulders
lean and oblique and the chest deep
and wide, which indicates vigor and
constitution.-Field and Farm.

Oh or sleigh box. Use two strong
white oak poles to make the derrick

cut from any strong piece Of lumber,
or made up by spiking together two
pieces Of 2x4 studding. 1t should be
IL to Is feet long and well braced at,
the base, as shown in the sketch. The
bottom should be smooth in order to
slide freely over the ice.
The sweep, G, should be about 16
Feet long, or over, with rope attach
ed to each end. The sweep is pivoted
on top of the upright, B. from one
quarter to one-third projecting over,
where the ice tOngs are attached. The
remaining portion, with the rope, D,
attached gives plenty Of leverage fer
lifting the heavy cakes.
After season" of cutting ice, the
two icemen proceed to lift out and
load up. One seizes the tongs and
catches onto the floating cakes, while
the other man presides at the rope, D.
The sleigh should be in the handiest
position to swing the sweep around
and land the cake of ice into the box.

No Mail for Hin.

tributes the story to Cassell's Magazine,
he proceeded to tell why.

Berry Culture.

An authority says that on an acre
Of rich, cultivated land $500 worth Of
berries may be grown, and that an acre
should produce at the rate of 200 BUSH
els.
Causes for short crop may be laid
at the door of land deficient in fertil-
ity or plant food. Such land should
have composted manure applied and
turned under and top dress. Ashes
should also be broadcasted. Another
reason is improper preparation of the
soil. Pillow deeply and harrow until
fine, light and mellow. Again, there is
a poor crop when varieties are planted
that are not adapted to that particular
kind of soil and climate. This can be
determined either by the success Of
neighboring farmers of that locality,
or by testing a limited number of
plants. Failure often comes from set
ting poor plants only hardy, vigorous
plants should be purchased. Careless
ly setting out plants will also cause
shortage. They should not be exposed
to the sun or wind before setting.
When put out the roots should be we'll
spread and fine dirt firmed around
them.
Using imperfect fertilizers Is anoth-
er cause. There is a sex in plants.
Pistillates (female) must have stami-
mates (male) set with them to insure
good crops. Cultivation must not be
neglected. The ground at all times
must be fine, mellow and free from
weeds.
Both frost and drought are enemies
of good crop, and the most difficult
to overcome. Berry fields well cult
waited are several degrees warmer than
uncultivated fields, therefore less la
BILE to damage by frost. Retain mulch
ing as late as possible on Strawberries
in spring.

Every year the use of ice Increases.
It Is not merely a luxury, but becomes
necessity as soon as its value Is
known by experience. Ice in the dairy
is almost indispensable for holding
milk and cream at 4 proper tempera-

Ice should be cut with n, saw into

moved will answer the purpose.
