NEGOTIATIONS
BROKEN OFF.
oeocoeee eoesooeeeoeose

Bargaining for rugs in Turkestan
is always attended with possibilities
of disappointment to the one party or
the other. AN English traveller in
that country gives the history of one
transaction in which he was con.
cerned.
Between the wood smoke and the
tanning effects of wind and weather,
he says, many of the door-rugs ac-
quire tone which is not to be
matched by any other process, and we
took them eagerly whenever we could
persuade the wrinkled old women tc
part with them.
First advances were usually made
through the rosy-cheeked, CHEEKY lit.
tie children. A present of few
beads would produce ecstasies of
pleasure; but it was not always that
the children were allowed by their
parents to keep the beads.
remember one little damsel of six
or eight whose delight was expressed
in every line of her sweet little form
when she first took string of blue
beads from my hand. Then she
showed the beads to her grandmother,
a wizened old hag who was watching
proceedings with fierce eyes from the
darkness of kibitka interior.
do not know what passed between
those two, but the young lady re-
turned with an expression of infan-
tile dignity that stiffened her little
limbs and curled her lip into the fun
niest affectation of disdain that ever
was seen. She flung the beads down
at my feet with a scorn that would
have done justice to an actress.
So far it was exceedingly we'll done,
but she waited just little too long.
A childish look of longing stole into
her eye, and it stayed there and dis
turbed the theatrical pose of her
head; and then large unbidden tear
appeared. 1 did not wait to see any
more, and I do not know what be-
came of the beads.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Most success is chiefly a comparison
with failure.
The reason so many women believe
in their husbands is nobody else will.
A girl is willing to have you think
she's good; she wants you to say she's
pretty.
The first spare time man gets he
is always going to invent something
wonderful.
A woman generally has an old rose
put away that would be very romantic
If she could remember how It hap
pened.
A man believes in fate so he can
be sure he's never to blame for his
errors.
The more a girl can flirt with a
man the more she can make him
think he's doing it.
Being able to quote good maxims
seems to satisfy most people they
don't need to practice them.
Some men think they might as we'll
go to church as stay home and read
the funny papers to the children.
One of the queer things about
women is they can keep cool in an
emergency and get excited about it
when it's over.
Next to forgiving people the hard
est thing is to mean it.
We can't see the truth about our
selves; we won't listen to it from
anybody else.
People who really have brains are
the only ones willing to admit some
b5dy else has.
A man feels a grievance either be-
ciuse he has nothing worth taxing
or aecause he has and must pay taxes
on 1t.
It's queer when women are natural
ly so much honester than men they
can be so much more deceitful.
Nobody understands any one thing
well enough to realize he doesn't un-
derstand something else better.
There's nothing makes a man think
how dull life is like going to bed
early. no matter how much he wants
to.

The Colony Plan.

One great advantage of the colony
plan of poultry houses is that the
moving to new ground will insure
cleanliness in the houses, the floor
part OF them at least.
The original colony houses were
small, built to accommodate a dozen
or two hens, hence we're easily moved
from place to place; this is more ex-
pensive than the large house: I mean
thet three or four small houses cost
more than the one house large enough
to accommodate as many hens as
would the three or four smaller ones.
The larger house would not be SO
easily moved, but with reasonable
care. two, or at most, three movings
would be enough each year.
Where one thinks of the moving
when the house is built, and plans
for the removal by trucks under the
foundation, or a handy way of plac-
ing the house on trucks the moving
1t a short distance will be compare
lively easy work.
The spot occupied by the house
may be cleansed by cultivating and
sowing to some growing crop, or by
scraping away the soil and fertilizing
the garden or truck with the scrap
ings.
For various reasons 1t will be nee
essary to move the house during a
time when the ground is solid.
BY moving the house but a short
distance there will be no bother about
teaching the hens TO go to the new
roosting place. and this is quite a
bother when one needs TO teach them.
If the house is whitewashed, the
roosts coal-oiled and the nests re-
filled with olean nesting each time.
after the house is moved to new
ground, II will be almost as clean as
a new building would be, and with
much less bother and time.
The floor of the poultry house can
be cleansed all right, but It is a dis
agreeable task, especially in the sum
mer, when the cleansing is most
needed.
No question but that the removals
will be great aids in keeping the
poultry healthy and thrifty.
Have any OF you thought of having
vessel of water, and pouring coal
oil on this. in the passage way where
the hens will be compelled TO walk
through II when they go In and out
of the house. This will effectually
cure all mild cases OF sealy legs, and
viii prevent scales forming on the
smooth shanks.
The oil covering will need renew
Ing each day, as this is what will adj
here TO the hens as they walk through
it.--E. c.. In the Indiana Farmer.

COW giving milk requires a great deal
more salt than one that is not pro-
ducing milk, and It is estimated that
such a COW should have, in addition
to the amount of chlorine in her ra-
tion. about one ounce of salt per day,
while a very heavy mixer may need
still more.
The function of salt in the animal
economy is not fully known, but 1t is
accepted that 1t aids in facilitating
the albuminoids of the food in pass
ing from the digestive canal into the
blood. Salt also increases circulation
of the juices in the body and stimu.
lates the animal to greater activity.
Thus a horse at hard labor requires
more salt than one not at work, and
for the same reason a COW producing
large amount of milk requires more
salt than one that Is dry.
The amount of salt required by an
animal also depends to some extent
upon the character Of the food con-
sumed. Such foods as potatoes. root
crops and small grains are rich in po-
tasslum salts. which increase the Sc.
cretion of sodium salts Common salt)
In the urine, and hence the necessity
of supplying more salt when foods Of
that kind are used to a large extent.

What the Silo Does,

I. Silage keeps young stock thrifty
and growing all winter.
2. 1t produces fat beef more cheap
ly than does dry feed.
8. 1t enables cows to produce milk
and butter more economically.
4. Silage is more conveniently
handled than dry fodder.
S. The silo prevents waste of corn
stalks, which contain about one-third
the feed value of the entire crop.
6. There are no aggravating corn
stalks in the manure when silage is
fed.
z. The silo will make palatable
feed of stuff that would not other
wise be eaten.
8. 1t enables a larger number of
animals to be maintained on a given
number of acres.
8. 1t enables the farmer to pre-
serve feed which manures at a rainy
time of the year, when drying would
be next to impossible.
10. 1t is the most economical
method OF supplying feed for the
stock during the hot. dry periods in
summer, when the pasture is short

COMMERCIAL
Weekly Review of Trade and
Market Reports.

r. G. Dun &c Co.'s Weekly Review
of Trade says:
Not in a half decade has a year
opened with the business outlook SO
generally auspicious as the year
1910. Some of the per2lexing issues
which contributed to the crisis of
1907 still remain unsolved, while the
question of high prices has become
more acute, but IL would seem as
IL business confidence were not going
to permit these things to interfere
with the farther progress Of industry
and commerce.
'The optimism which usually pre-
walls at this season Is tnis time ap-
parently we'll supported by the facts
of the economic situation. In tha
great iron and steel trade, which is
so basic, this spirit of optimism Is
particularly conspicuous.
Advances are made in heavy cot
ton goods this week, such as duck
tickings, brown sheetings and some
other lines. Trading is on a mod
crate scale, which is to be expected
in the first part of January, but ship
ments of merchandise on old orders
are very heavy"
Bradstreet's says:
The year opens with a perceptible
lull in trade. though with optimism
as the underlying element in all
lines. Severe cold weather and heavy
snow, sleet or rainstorms have check
ed transportation and retar ied coun-
try trade, though more or less
immediate benefit to retail trade
in cities has accrued from the
stimulus given to demand for sea-
sonable goods by weather condi-
tions and the beginning of clearance
sales OF winter goods. Wholesale
lines have been generally quiet ow-
ing to the fact that statesmen as yet
are not fully in their fields OF ac-
tivity. Jobbing recorders are check
ed for the same reasons. Collections
are rather slower and classed gen.
orally as only fair, due, no doubt,
to Interruptions to tie movements
of mails and of farl4 products to
market.

States for the week ending with
January were 271. against EST last
week, 329 In the like week OF 1899,

Alfalfa and Dairy Cows.

When alfalfa is out and fed green

Gentleman says:

Following ration, four pounds of
wheat bran, two pounds of distillers'
grain, one and half pounds of cot
tonseed meal, and changed to sixty
pounds of green alfalfa and one-half
the above grain ration, they will give
the same results in the milk pail and
probably gain in flesh. Again, as
suming that alfalfa, corn meal, cot
tonseed meal and wheat bran cost
$40 ton each and fed to cows Of
1000 pounds, giving twenty pounds of
milk daily as follows: Corn meal
three pounds, cottonseed meal one
pound, wheat bran or dry alfalfa four
pounds. the alfalfa ration ought to
produce 100 pounds of milk for for
ty-four cents, and the bran ration for
forty-six cents. But as the bran costs
S2S per ton and the alfalfa hay only
SIG, this cheapens the cost Of the
production on the alfalfa ration and
increases it on the bran.

Then began a round of wild dis

in the runabout, strolls through the
college buildings, baseball game

team, luncheons and dinners and

I've no one else, you know"
That's little strange. isn't it?"
"They couldn't be here. My fa-
ther is in San Francisco, taking on
another railroad. 1 had a telegram
from him last night. My mother and
sister Grace are in England, where
my married sister is ill., I'll get a
cablegram from them to-day. So you
see l have nobody but you. Uncle
David"
There was queer little twinkle in
Uncle David's eyes.
Perhaps" he slowly said, "the
discipline will do you good" He
paused. Has your father always
had money!"
"As far back as I can remember
you have had everything you
wanted"
Always"
II see," said Uncle David.
Arthur laughed.
II know what you are thinking.
You are saying to yourself, And yet
there's still something good about the
boy"
That's true" said Uncle David.
When It came to the evening of
the reception Arthur couldn't help
feeling little perturbed. How would
Uncle David appear? There was no
question about his manners. The
old man had gil the instincts of a
born gentleman. But his clothes?
But the ancient travelling bags
contents were not so bad. Uncle
David, in long-tailed black coat
with a white waistcoat, looked like
an old-fashioned picture.

Keeping Eggs.

IN new process of keeping eggs
In cold storage, 500 eggs are packed
in a tin box, and a little calcium
chloride is added, to insure dryness.
a lid, having hole one-fifth-inch in
diameter, is then soldered on and the
box, with number of others. is
placed In large iron cylinder, from
which the air Is then exhausted. BY
this operation the air and carbon d.
oxide dissolved in the albumen are
removed, as well as the air which sur
rounds the eggs and fills their yoids.
The cylinder is next filled with pure
carbon dioxide. and pressure slight
iy above that of the atmosphere IA
maintained until the constancy of the
manometer indicates that the eggs
are saturated with the gas. But as
eggs do not Keep we'll In pure carbon
oioxide, a certain quantity OF this
gas Is next withdrawn from the CYL
inder and replaced by nitrogen, OBJ
tanned either from the cylinders In
which II is sold In a compressed state
or by passing air over red-hot con-
per. When the eggs have become sat
nrated with the mixture of gases, the
boxes are removed from the cylinder.
sealed and placed in rooms where the
temperature is kept between thirty
two and thirty-six degrees Fahren-
