by the standard of some exceptionally
tall sister that short woman will
permit herself to be SO described. She

objected to the epithet little woman"

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 sand 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 cents per bushel.
But II, 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 1t
to the hauling of all your crops, and
1t quickly becomes apparent that 1t
amounts to very burdensome tax.
Good roads help In every way; they
promote sociability by making friends
and relatives accessible, and by means
of them 1t is easier to reach the
schools and churches and to generally
do and enjoy the things which make
life really worth living.

It stood in the cellar low and dim.
Where the cobwebs swept and sway

Holding the store from bough and

At the feet of autumn laid.
And oft, when the days were short
and drear
And the north wind shrieked and
roared,
We children sought in the corner here,
And drew on the toothsome hoard.

With wine of the summers golden

Sealed by the hand of fall.

OF rain and sun and breeze
Changed to pippin sweet and rare
BY the art of the faithful trees
A wonderful barrel was this, had we
Its message but rightly heard,
Filled with the tales of wind and bee
OF cricket and moth and bird;
Rife with the bliss Of the fragrant
June
When skies were soft and blue;
Thronged with the dreams Of a har--

Ger fields drenched deep with dew
oh, homely barrel, I'd fain essay
Your marvellous skill again;
Take me back to the past. I pray.

The noontides warm and still,
The fleecy clouds and the spangled

II a woman will stand up straight
while she is sweeping 1t will prove
the very best possible way of expand
ing her chest. But STOPPING over q
broom is bad; the chest is contracted
and the work made harder.
To sweep vigorously with head up
and arms moving freely helps to give
the shoulders beautiful erectness and
also pulls off superfluous flesh.
Especially where the arm Is too fat
directly below the shoulder this work
helps. 1t takes off the extra flesh and
rounds the arms splendidly. For this
1t Is almost as good as using the wash
board, and that is proverbial for i'm
proving the arms.

Reports come from Ontario that the
perennial sow thistle has gained a
firm foothold, making it the greatest
weed enemy with which the farmer
has to contend. 1t has been spread
from one farm to another by the
threshing machines, the numerous
seeds being easily carried. One meth
cd being advocated for its eradication
is to SOW winter rye in September and
pasture 1t the following spring. This
can be followed in June by rye, tur-
nips or buckwheat In this way crops
are secured and the SOW thistle
fought at the same time.

Farmers Bulletin No 1913, 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 a 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 a hens egg Is 2.27 inches in
length, and LIP inches in diameter or
width at the broadest point, and
weighs about 2 ounces, or eight eggs
to the pound az 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 1Bx1a
inches. are rather pointed at one end.
and weigh about IA ounces each, or
II ounces to the dozen. Goose eggs
weigh about 5.5 to 6.7 ounces each, or
about 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, LOT to FIT inches in diameter;
domestic ducks eggs, 2.36 to 25e
inches.

hair has total tensile strength of
more than five tons, and this strength
can be increased one-third by twist
ing the hair. The ancients made prac-
tical use Of the strength of human
hair. The cords of the Roman cata-
pults were made of the hair of slaves,
and 1t is recorded that the free women
of Carthage offered their luxuriant
tresses for the same use when their
city was besieged by the Romans.

While vegetables are given a low
value as food for man or beast on
account Of their large percentage Of
water, the dry portion is highly nu-
tritive. In the potato the 20 per cent
of solid matter is nearly all available
for food. The proteids as flesh form
ers and the carbohydrates as fat pro-
ducers are essential parts of food.

ed out and fed to the poultry either
whole or ground. II the sunfower
heads are thrown into the chicken
yard, the birds will thresh the seeds
out themselves with no expense to the
grower. 1t Is. an excellent fattening
food, and when fed with cracked corn
gives good results.

sunfiower seeds, but 1t is good thing
to keep in mind for another year.

Staying Youthful.

Whatever your age may be, begin
now to think of yourself as in the
dawn Of new developments. Say to
yourself many times a day that you
possess more vital power, more men,
tai force, more magnetism and charm
than ever before in your life. Say
also that you are better loved and
more fully appreciated for all your
virtues and charms than ever before,
and that your ability to give and re-
ceive happiness Is unlimited Then
use moments which you have been
accustomed to idle away or to employ
In melancholy thoughts, In improving
yourself. Let this improvement be
three-fold. until body and mind and
spirit all radiate new brilllancy.
Give your mind new thoughts. Give
your spirit new aspirations, and feed
your brain with some new purpose.
Keep up whatever accomplishments
you possess; cultivate new ones Be.
gin at forty, fifty or sixty, even, to
study languages and music and art.
And instead or continually thinking
about advancing age, think about in
rreasing qualities and charms; instead
of worrying over added years, rejoice
over added occupations and means of
enjoyment. Encourage the young to
seek your society. Amuse and inter.
est them. and this can only be done
by keeping in sympathy with their
ideas
