size of an Acre

An acre in this country contains 43.-
500 square feet; or 100 square rods. A
patch sixty-nine yards five inches wide
and seventy yards long is practically
an acre of ground. 1t is far better to
see just how much can be raised on an
acre than to follow the old plan of
showing just how many acres one is
able to plant and partially cultivate.
The one acre crop is in line with high
class diversified farming. American

Corn Fodder Suitable Horse Feed.

Corn fodder may safely be fed to
horses if one-third the forage ration
be made up of some other material,
such as timothy hay or alfalfa. 1t is
best to remove all ears, as the soft
corn likely to be found in fodder is in
furious to horses. Shredding adds
nothing to the value of fodder for
horses

Evarts' Long Whlp.

Years ago. says the New York Press,
when before the state court OF appeals
Edward J. Moegan, then q STRIPPING
lawyer, saw gaunt young man with
a big head hurting sentences at the
judges with a snap at the end Of each
one, very much as the old-time stage
driver used to swing his whip lash
around his leaders heads. "The sem
tences came out thick and fast and
ponderous." says Meegan. but he was
dexterous, and each time the snap
went where he intended. right by the
judges ears. II was as interesting 70
me as q man casting for fish. I asked
q lawyer beside me who the little chap
was. In astonishment he replied:
Why, that is William M. Evarts, the
great William NJ. Evarts OF New
York."

Lord kitchener's Orchids.

Lord Kitchener. who leaves India

q great amount of his spare time to
gardening, which has been for many
years a favorite recreation of his. His
official residence in the fort at Cal
cutta possesses rather extensive
grounds, and these he keeps under his
personal supervision when he is stay
ing there. He is a very early riser.
and gives two or three hours every
morning to his gardens, digging and
trimming the soil with all the ardor
of professional. He has of late years
taken great interest In orchid culture.
and has visited recently some Of the
more famous of the Bengal collections.
Il is his intention when he settles
down in England to purchase small
estate, somewhere within easy reach
of London, where there is space to
collect orchids on a large scale.

Nervous Children.

The naturally nervous child should
early be taught the value of self
control. Instead OF pampering and
making allowances. train the boy or
girl in self-repression. Discourage
emotionalIsm and never permit Civ
ing way to FITS Of temper.
There is nothing for the naturally
nervous like plenty of fresh air, sun
light and sleep. Without talking
health, keep a sharp watch on the
child's habits, above all frown upon
rich foods and eating between meals.
Many so-called nervous temperaments
come from over-eating.

Mr.. Bowler never knew what real,

the sun looked down with promise of
summer in its beams Mr. Bowler be-
thought himself of awnings.
Mr. Bowler did not tell his wife nor
any one Of the other six women that
he had ordered awnings, hence their
first knowledge of that provision for
their comfort was derived from THO

but beyond that monosyllable the par

with a light blue stripe, because that
color was becoming to her complex

sage green, and so on through the
list. Each woman declared she had

she vowed she did not intend to do

would consent to any color except the
one that showed her of to the best
advantage they decided to worry
along without any awnings at all.
