There is no quality more to be de-
sired to make a woman social sue
cess than that of tact. Its possessor
knows the right thing to do and the
right time for doing 1t, and thus gains
reputation for cleverness and for
many virtues which tactless person
would never win from her circle OF
lcquaintances, no matter how excellent
her qualities of both heart and head.
The tactful woman is not only a
patient listener, but she Is thorough
ly good one. She shows no WEAKNESS
even when she has heard the same
story more than once from the same
person, and she smiles in the right
place, and appears to enjoy hearing
jokes just as much as her companion
enjoys telling them, says Woman's
Life.
A tactful woman generally gets her
own way with her husband, and with
other people, and yet in such man.
ner that people always suppose that
they are following their own and not
her inclinations. The fact is that she
knows when a man is approachable
and likely to be amenable to her
wishes, and when 1t Is best to leave
him alone Tact is a weapon guided
with a multitude of precautions and
feminine wiles by the wise woman,
and 1t Is only the wise who possess 1t.

Renting a rarm.

The following Is from the Almanac
and Encyclopedia for 1910, published
by the International Harvester Com
pany:
THE greatest risk is always on the
landlords side In the rental Of prop
erty. He is putting his property into
the possession and care Of another,
who may be person of doubtful util-
ity. 1t is well to observe these rules
and cautions: Do not trust to ver-
bal lease-let 1t be in writing, signed
and sealed. Its stipulations then be-
come commands and can be enforced.
Let 1t be signed in duplicate, SO that
each party may have an original.
"Be careful In selecting your tenant.
There Is more in the man than there
Is in the bond. Insert such covenants
as to repairs, manner of use, and In
restraint Of waste as the circum.
stances call for. AS to particular stip-
lations examine leases drawn by those
who have had long experience in rent
Ing farms, and adopt such as meet
your case. There should be covenants
against assigning and underletting.
IF the tenant is of doubtful respon-
sibility, make the rent payable In In
stallments. A covenant that the crops
shall remain in the lessons till the
lessee's contracts with him have been
fulfilled LIS valid against the lessee's
creditors. In the ordinary case of
renting farms on shares the courts
will treat the crops as the joint prop
erty of lord and tenant, and thus pro-
tect the formers rights. Every lease
should contain stipulations for forfeit
ure and re-entry In case Of non-pay'
ment or breach of any covenants.

The silo Is a text which is always
inspiring to the man who knows Its
value and 1t cannot be preached from
too often, writes s. G. Miller. Wher-
ever 1t Is seen 1t denotes farming,
II solves the problem of turning into
the highest efficiency that portion of
the corn crop which fails to reach the
desired maturity as feed. The silo
can be filled at less expense than the
same amount of dry feed can be cared
for and 1t makes better feed. This
is, after all, the main point to con-
slider. Dairymen have learned that
when cows are kept in the stable for
FIVE to seven months they cannot re-
turn as satisfactory profits II they are
confined to ration Of dry feed alone.
Ensilage gives succulence and Is very
much easier to masticate and digest
than dry corn fodder. There Is also
a great saving Of labor In feeding en-
silage, over feeding dry corn fodder.
The initial expense keeps many a silo
from decorating the landscape. but
It is good practice to economize in
other directions to provide for 1t. Once
built and rightly built 1t will not have
to be renewed for many years, so the
cost is spread out so thinly that 1t
cuts no great figure In the business
OF feeding.

Poultry Pickings.

Watch closely and mark the heh

Is the kind you want to perpetuate
In the flock.
Weed out the hens that lay the
small-sized eggs. They are the un-
profitable ones and never will i'm.
prove the quality of the flock.
There are some poultrymen who ad.
vocate pullets for breeders instead of
yearling hens. 1t is generally found
that well-developed fowls make the
most prolific breeders.
If you have both pullets and old
hens in your flock keep close watch
and see which one is laying the most
eggs. A little knowledge along this
line may assist next season in select
ing flock of winter layers.

Authorities say that fresh manure
loses In the process of decay from 20
to 70 per cent Of its original weight.
Some tests conducted by the Cornell
Experiment Station showed that two
tons of horse manure exposed In a

its gross weight, go per cent of its

Five tons Of COW manure exposed for

The only way to raise chickens in
large numbers in short space of time
and have them at the right time to
get the biggest prices for them Is to
use incubators and brooders. BY the
use of the hen for hatctsng and brood
Ing, enough chickens can not be raised

This is troublesome pest and hard

Cost of Feed.

During an experiment in Cornell
University few years ago the aver
age feed cost for eggs throughout the
year was about 8 cents per dozen,
Other experimenters give the cost of
eggs In winter at Is cents per dozen
and in summer slb cents, Under the
present prices of feed eggs would cost
about l2 cents per dozen, but 1t must
be remembered that on the farm the
hen picks up the most part of her liv.
Ing from the waste material that is
scattered over the farm. so that the
cost Of dozen eggs Is very small
item of cash outlay.
