NIiStIptOp,

It is high time that something was
done about our mistletoe literature
that crops up so regularly during the
holiday season.
1t systematizes about as follows:
The joke about the girl who wears
a sprig Of mistletoe on her head.
The joke about the mistletoe that
didn't come in time, and the girl asks
(always coyly) whether they cannot
get along without II.
The church trimming mistletoe
joke.
The sprig OF mistletoe that the long
lost lover, on his dramatic return on
Christmas eve, always draws out Of
his pocket at the end OF the story.
The fact is that the mistletoe has
now degenerated into a chestnut. II
no longer serves any useful literary
purpose. IL should be worn only by
mothers-in-law.- Weekly.

indian Girls Plea.

A woman salesman for a department
store recently went to the school for
Cherokee Indian girls in Tahlequah to
take measurements for their uniforms
and here is what she told about the
girls: ''Those Indian girls are splendid
specimens of womanhood. They are
all splendidly formed, blooming with
health and overlooking with good spir-
Its. And the eternal feminine asserts
Itself as strongly among those pretty
Indian maidens as among any of the
girls in Eastern colleges with whom
I have been brought in contact. All OF
them make the same plea. Every girl
in that seminary as took her measure
begged: Please make my suit little
tigher in the waist than this is and
do be sure to have the skirt cut longer,
won't you They all want to feel
grown up and to don long skirts. -

SNOWFLAKES.

Afsr from the city's pleasures
The farmhouse stands aloOf,
With crown of smoke on its chimney
And wealth OF snow on Its root;
Out into the dusky highway
There floats a merry din,
And CLEANS from the low, wide windows
Speak warmth and cheer within.
There's pause in the gleeful rompins
As | knock and enter the door;
But I'm no stranger; quickly
The rout goes on as before.
Low on the hearth kneels Kitty,
And over the hickory Goals
She shakes big corn-popper
Whose burden whirls and rolls.
SnowAakes without: I had felt them,
Big and starry and soft.
Wandering down like blossoms
Out of white glooms aloft.
Snowtakes within: | watch them
Out of the kernels grow.
Till Kitty pours from the pepper
A feathery drift OF snow.
Tom leaves off his sheling
To bring the Weekly News
For a napkin: then the snow-drift
Comes round Could YOU refuse!
Again and again the pepper
Gives up its saVory store
Till the big brown bowl runs over
And snowhakes strew the floor.
A broom for the Uttered hearthstone;
Then the fire with wood Is piled,
And all are young together
Father, mother and child;
Merry and young together
In spite of besieging snow,
Rich in their garnered harvests
And the frelight's CHEEKY glow.

The real loss is far greater than

Keep the Road Drag Going.

Bad roads are an extravaganza that
no farming community can afford.
Just what they cost in unnecessary
expenses 1t takes but moment to de-
termine.
A team and driver are reasonably
worth So day, and by the use of
these 1t is possible to deliver to mar
ket from your home 100 bushels of
corn. Hauling over good roads, the
cost of delivery is 8 cents per bushel.
But If, in consequence of bad roads,
but fifty bushels can be delivered. the
cost is doubled and the difference is
what the impossible roads cost You
Continue this calculation, applying II
to the hauling of all your crops, and
1t quickly becomes apparent that it
amounts to very burdensome tax.
Gbod roads help in every way; they
promote sociability by making friends
and relatives accessible, and by means
of them it is easier to reach the
schools and churches and to generally
do and enjoy the things which make
life really worth living.

Woman In Chicken Yard.

September is good month to looR
about for stock, and IL one has not al
ready settled upon particular varie-
ty, hint in that direction may be OF
some use. Unless woman can afford
to keep plenty of help she should not
keep over fifty fowls. feel that / am
writing for the woman who takes care
of her chickens herself, and to her
would say that if she has the room it
is a good plan to keep small flock Of
TWO varieties-one for broilers OF
fricassees and one for laying eggs, and
when 1t comes to the genuine busi-
ness, then give me the Black Minor
cas-. The eggs are large and pure
white. The hens are almost perpetual
layers and do not make good moth
ers. The eggs will command the high
est fancy prices, and if your stock Is
pure you can sell the eggs for sittings
at prices according to the stock you
keep.
The Plymouth Rocks or the Wyan-
dottes are suitable breeds for broil-
ers or for home use. l think there Is
more money in the selling Of eggs to
private customers. or even in the mar
kets, than in broilers. There Is less
work and less worry. The latter fowl
is good layer if she does not get too
fat. but when this occurs make q pot
pie of her.

Fowls and Eggs.

Farmers Bulletin No. 1873, United
States Department Of Agriculture,
says: "The eggs of different kinds of
domestic poultry vary in size as we'll
as appearance, and there is also con-
siderable range in the size of eggs of
different breeds. Thus, hens eggs
range from the small ones laid by ban
tams to the large ones laid by such
breeds as light Brahmas. On an av-
erage hens egg is 2.27 inches in
length, and 1.72 inches in diameter or
width at the broadest point, and
weighs about ounces, or eight eggs
to the pound (11a pounds per dozen).
Generally speaking, the eggs of pullets
are smaller than those of old hens;
those of ducks somewhat larger than
hens eggs, while those of turkeys and
geese are considerably larger Guinea
eggs, on an average, measure 1Ax1 "a
inches, are rather pointed at one end,
and weigh about Ia ounces each, or
IL ounces to the dozen. Goose eggs
weigh about 55 to 6.7 ounces each, or
about 5 pounds to the dozen-that is,
more than three times as much as
hens eggs. The eggs of wild birds are
said to be smaller than those Of the
same species when domesticaeed. Wild
ducks eggs are said to be, on an av-,
erage. 1.97 to 217 inches In dtaafeter.a-
domestic ducks eggs, 236 !. to 2.56l
