1t is to be remarked, first of all,
that poles get out of plumb and align
ment because of wind pressure and
wire strain. Eliminate these two
stresses upon any pole, and unless it
be located at the edge of quicksand,
or abuts a living spring of water, 1t
Will very likely remain erect until 1t
decays. Fig. shows form of brac-
ing that is excellent to aid a pole to
Withstand the rocking effect of the
wind. Most winds are unsteady in
effort, and this accounts for so many
poles leaning, for the pressure of
the wind comes and goes suddenly,
each gust being followed by periods
OF lull, so that pole rocks, swinging
out with the gust, and back with the
following lull. The design is self
explanatory, and is intended for a
full-sized pole, set seven feet in the
ground. But poles to carry two to
four wires need not be so large, either
in diameter or in height, nor be set
so deeply in the ground. The per-
pendicular braces, coupled at the top
by horizontal timbers, are efficient to
Withstand the rocking effect of the
pole. The oblique braces are also
valuable assistants. Strange as it
may appear, when oblique braces are
used alone, they tend to lift a pole
out Of the earth as it rocks back
and forth. The horizontal braces do
not have this tendency. Perhaps chill
dren have observed that their swing
poles, when braced by oblique braces
only, have gradually become loosened
and lifted by swinging. This system
of bracing poles. therefore, is to be
recommended for children's swings.
The design shows the parts well pro-
portioned, and they may be proper
tionally reduced In dimensions In
working them out.
Fig. Q shows how cement may be
substituted for wooden braces at a
bend of the line where the wind and
wire strains are not too severe. The

A LONGTIME HEN.

am convinced that for the future
|! the poultryman must look for great
improvement in the breeding of his
fowls (says Professor Rice, of Cor
nell University. Not so much to the
production of hens that will lay
phenomenal records, $50 or 800 eggs
In a year; but ! believe we must
allow for hen that will produce a
large number of eggs, larger than
we are getting now, and continue to
produce these eggs for a number of
years. The weak ink in the poultry
business is the fact that we are de-
pending upon eggs for only one or
two years and dairyman can start
his COW and when he gets her perfect

flfteen years But when we get a
hen we are only able to use her for
few years. I believe we have got
to go to breeding from mature fowls
and keep them for a number of
years; then If, they do not pay us
from commercial standpoint to pro.
duce eggs for the market they will
pay us because in their body they
have that strong constitution, compar-
able. If you like, with the good old

not continue to that same length of
time. I believe the tendency for
longevity. and strength, and power is
thing we must cultivate, develop,
and breed into our poultry. We want
longtime production hen. rather
than hen that is going to exhaust
all her resources In the first year.
All the same. we advise our poul-
try-keeping friends to adhere to the
rule OF getting rid OF their old hens
In good time. Experiments may re-
suit in the development of a hen
which can be profitably kept for
years, like cow-why the professor
should assume this analogy between
the COW and the fowl we are at
loss to understand-but that type Of
hen does not exist at present, though,
Judging from the specimens one sees
about the country sometimes, one
Is led to believe that not a few poul-
try-keepers fancy they have got hold
of it. The old hen that will keep
on laying at a productive rate in her
third, fourth and fifth years-and per-
haps longer-may be coming, in the
future. but the present-day poultry
keeper had much better look after
his stock growing pullets.-Farm and

Spider Colonies.

Our native spiders are notable for
their extreme unsociability. OF those
which are spinners each one con-
structs its web apart from those of
its kind And those which hunt pur-
sue their prey alone.
In other countries, however, there
are spiders which live in communities
and one such, native of Mexico, is
described by M. l.. Diguet. 1t is
known as the mosquero and makes a
large nest in oaks and other trees.
Here the spiders live gregariously
and along with them in the nest is
found minute beetle and another
species of spider. The beetle is said
to act as scavenger. Parts of the
nest of the mosquero are hung up In
the houses during the wet season to
get rid of the flies.-London Globe.

SOCIAL LIFE FOR THE FARMERS
FAMILY

1t Is true that the farmers family
does not have the same chance for
social diversion that those living in
the cities may easily avail themselves
OF, but it is also true that more might
be done to better this state of things
II the people themselves only
thought so and brought their minds
to the task. want to tell you how
some farmers wives solved the prob
lem Of sociability.
In one instance the ladies' in the
community formed what they called
Mothers Meeting" although the
membership was not restricted to
mothers by any means; at least two
young ladies and one maiden lady,
who gleefully called herself an old
maid, belonged to 1t. They held a
meeting once in two weeks at the
home Of some member. from two I'M
tdl five In the afternoon. One thing
had been especially stipulated; there
was to be absolutely no refreshments
of any kind. They all had to cook
three meals day for hearty working
men and they wanted social diver
sion. not "victuals" They had
program committee and there was a
program for each meeting. In addi-
ton to this there was always a moth.
er's question box, and anyone could
bring any question that troubled her
whether about the rearing of children,
or some task about the household.
The varied experiences thus exchang.
ed were very helpful.
These meetings were greatly en-
toyed and were also beneficial Later,
on becoming ambitious to keep in
touch with the world through the
realm of books. they started library.
This was accomplished in the follow.
ing manner. Each member paid one
dollar year dues into the club and
had the privilege of drawing a book
a week. A member who lived at
the little Four Corners. where the
most of them did their trading
through the week, undertook to keep
the books where the members could
get them. OF course they had to
begin with few, but they added to
them every year until they soon had
quite a nice library. Every year
some OF the later books. as well as
some OF the standards. were added

A party Of English tourists were

they invited this prince to dinner.
He came, splendidly attired in gold
and white.
But he was taciturn. He seemed
disappointed. When the dessert was
served he sneered and said:

PRESCRIBES TEARS FOR BEAUTY.
Woman's tears have been condoned
because they have soothed the fem
mime spirit, and they have been de-
plored for the fact that they have
left the eyes red and the face slight
ly swollen. 1t remained for a Cop
enhagen bacteriologist to discover
that the eyes and face are undergo
ing sterilization when red and swol-
len. He finds the scalding drops In
accessory to beauty. Weeping Is es-
sential to health, DIR. Lindahl asserts,
and he prescr.ibes tears in large doses
as facial antiseptic bath. Scientifi-
cally he points out the good that
may come of tears. The drops that
course down the cheeks contain sodi-
UNI chloride in largo percentage,
which is another way Of saying that
they are salty. AS the eyes fill with
the solution, the salt clears the eye
and sterilizes the delicate mechanism
of the organ. The pores of the face
harbor millions of germs that are
harmful to the complexion and the
skin. The tears make these destruc-
tive germs harmless and freshen the
skin. DR. Lndahl wants women lit
orally to battle their faces in tears
for their beauty's sake.-New York
Press.
