Diplomacy.

Down on the West Side there's a
longshore saloon where they set up a
huge schooner for five cents. When
6 o'clock blows the place is thronged
by the thirsty, fortifying themselves
for the long walk home.
One night a huge Irisman in a red
flannel shirt, open at his brawny
chest and rolled up over swelling BIZ
ceps, stood in the crowd and tapped
his nickel on the bar. just as the
barkeeper set out the schooner the
swing door burst open and a. little
Irishman rushed in, flung his coat
on the floor, threw his hat beside 1t,
and, jumping on them, yelled in a
high voice Quivering with rage:
Which one of yez beat up poor
Pat Murphy"
The big Irishman in the red shirt
tapped his chest. ""T was me-" he
beloved hoarsely.
The little Irishman whirled round.
"Gee!" he piped. I'VE did him up
oine."-Lippincott's.

Dried Sweet Corn.

Campers and hunters are giving
preference to dried corn over the
canned, because it is so Light and cas-
lily carried. A Maine girl last year
earned over 5000 by husking and dry
ing unripe sweet corr from her fath-
er's field, and curing it for winter
use, after the methods practiced by
the early Dutch settlers. A party of
hunters from New York City found
this corn so satisfactory in its saving
Of bulk and weight that other hunters
this year are on the lookout for SINH
lar home-cured products. Corn Tor
this purpose should be sweet and ten

sharp knife, cut the kernels from The

possible. Spread this shelled corn on

family cook stove, or in the oven.
Stir often during the drying. When

EOttinr of Tomatoes.

There has been a great deal Of coIG-
plant about tomatoes rotting this
year. 1t is a dry, black rot that at
tacks the blossom end about the time
or just before the tomato begins to
get ripe. Some people think it is
caused by too much dampness when
the tomatoes are close to the ground;
or by the vines being too thick. My
experience is that it is dry weather
and hot sunshine that causes them to
rot, instead of the wet weather.
When l trimmed my tomatoes to a
single stem and tied them up to
stakes, they rotted a great deal worse
Than they did when I let the vines
run and fall down to shade the to-
matoes. If you have noticed, those
that come up "volunteer' around the
fence where they are shaded from
the sun are generally the first ones
to get ripe and rot the least. So you
see it is not because they are shaded
that they rot.
What caused the tomatoes to rot
so bad last year, l think, was on &C
count Of the hot sun and dry weather
when they first began to ripen and
before the vines had got thick enough
to shade them. AS soon as the rains
came and the vines got rank enough
to shade the tomatoes and keep them
damp, they quit rotting.
Nature knows what is best and
has given the tomato a vine to cover
her fruit from the burning sun. When
we try to improve On nature by cut
ting away part of the vine to let in
the sunshine, we ruin the fruit if the
weather is hot and dry. And the
vines that are not trimmed will bear
fruit of a better flavor, the tomatoes
not being so strong and sour as they
are when the sun shines directly on
them.
This is my experience and we never
fail to have plenty of tomatoes even
when our neighboTs have none.-L.
o. H, in the Indiana Farmer.

Keep Red Cross Stamp Alive.

The Red Gross Christmas stamp
has proved a great success thus far.
AS an agent of charity it has trans
ferred thousand Of dollars from the
pockets of the benevolent to a chart
table and philanthropic use in the
prevention and cure of tuberculosis
disease. This method Of collecting
money for great charities, however,
Is threatened with two dangers. In
terest in the Red Cross stamp is liable
to decrease, as people become fam
iliar with the same thing, season af-
ter season, and it's loses its novelty,
This is one danger. The other grows
out of the ill-advised attempts to
make use of similar non-oflcial
stamps for advertising purposes. Thus
we have before us a large blue stamp
bearing the portrait and name OF
William J. Bryan, which vas used
during the last campaign of the great
commoner, and a smaller gray STAMP
employed by a corporation which
publishes law books.-New York Sun.

. HINTS

Dried beans of all kinds are much
better when they are cooked in a
double boiler.
To give the house a pleasant odor
take some live Goals and sprinkle
ground cinnamon on them.
The boy or girl who has a poor
complexion should cultivate a taste
for figs, prunes, greens, oranges, lem
ons and other fruits.
If eggs are to be stuffed, they must
be put into cold water as soon as they
are taken from the stove. This will
keep the white in better shape.
Food should never be put into the
ice chamber of a refrigerator for it
Will become more or less tainted by
coming in such close contact with the
ice.
Always wrap table or bed linen,
or any other article of white goods
which is to be stored away, in dark
blue paper to keep it from turning
yellow.
A scald is one of the most painful
injuries. One of the most healing
remedies is made by beating castor oil
and white of egg together until a
cream is formed.
Many women use banana skins in
cleaning their tan shoes. Rub the in
side of the skin on the leather; let it
dry, then polish with a piece OF
chamois or cheesecloth.
After baking a cake, if it sticks to
the pan the easiest way to take it out
without breaking it is to wet a clean
cloth and wrap it around the pan.

For burns or scalds nothing is
more soothing than the white of an
egg, which may be poured over the
wound. 1t is softer as a varnish for
a burn than collodion.
Bread and butter plates are no

Advocates College Duels.

Professor C. l.. Demuralt, the new
professor of electrical engineering OF
the University of Michigan, advocates
duelling as a college sport in place
of football. Though born in Brook
Ign he was educated in German
schools. He was famed as n OF
the best swordsmen among students.
He says:
while there may be objections to
having a mans face Scared, I cannot
help but think it preferable to having
his arms and legs broken in football.
German duelling is fully as valuable
an educational feature as football,
and it presents the great advantage
of developing strong individuality and
reliance on ones personal strength, a
feature not present in such a degree
in football"

BETTER Methods Needed.

Many dairy farmers are prosperous
and have established the fact that
the dairy industry can be made to
yield good profits, while others, who
seem to have the same opportunities,
fail to find the profitable side. On
a large proportion of dairy farms
many of the fundamental principles
which should be observed in produc-
ing pure milk are almost entirely
overlooked. This is usually due to
lack of appreciation of their import
ance more than to intentional neglect.
In most cases bad conditions are
promptly improved when their dan
gers are known. Special knowledge
is as necessary in conducting a dairy
as in other farming occupations.
When one understands something of
the science affecting dairying, the
changes in milk cease to be mys-
terious. and the work connected with
the dairy, instead of being unprofit-
able, uncertain and monotonous, as
some consider it, may become profit
able, interesting and instructive.
The value of milk when it is de-
livered to the factory depends largely
upon the care it has received previous
to delivery, and its condition IS well
as its fat content should influence the
price paid for it. Every dairyman
knows that the handling Of milk the
first few hours after it has come from
the cow has a great influence on its
quality and the commercial value OF
the products made from it. The care
of milk seems a simple matter, but
better methods in our diaries are Of
the greatest importance to the success
and reputation of American dairying.
1t is in the interest Of every patron
of a creamery or cheese factory that
the milk used shall be the best and
purest that a be produced.
Anyone who delivers badly contain
mated milk to a creamery is standing
in his own light. His milk may spoil
the entire production of the day, and
| thus decrease the returns to every
patron. Butter and cheese makers
should absolutely refuse to accept
milk that is tainted or unfit for use;
they must do this in justice to them
| selves and to patrons who deliver
| good milk. The attempt has some
times been made TO estimate the
| losses caused by taints or changes in
| the milk due to neglect. The express
| sion pure milk" should not be taken
to mean simply milk having a normal
! chemical composition, but milk free
| from all unnecessary contamination;
the word pure should be under
| stood in its broadest sense.-Weekly

As to Fertilizers.

Suppose we have a commercial fer
tilizer that we know is good in wheat.
Should we, for that reason, risk its
being good in corn, and use the same
Hertilizer for both wheat and corn, as
we'll as oats, tomatoes, potatoes, etc?
Can the same fertilizer be well adapt
ed to various crops? J. o. P.
Answer: The soil ingredients, nj
troSen, potash and phosphorus are re-
quired for all the farm and garden
crops, but some crops require a larger
proportion Of these elements thar
others. A complete fertilizer will
help all crops, but in some cases it
would be wasteful to use them all in
full proportion. Here is wher" the
farmer must use study and skill if he
would economic. He must know
how much of the different soil ele-
ments each crop requires to make a
full yield. For example, it is found
that thirty-siX bushels Of shelled corn
takes about thirty-siX pounds Of nj
trogen, fourteen pounds of phos-
phoric acid and eight pounds Of pot
ash from the soil. valued at about
$3.50. This must all be supplied to
make the soil as fertile as it was be-
fore. A ton of wheat, SO 1-3 bushels,
takes f~orty-seven pounds of nitrogen,
eighteen pounds of ~phosphoric acid
and twelve pounds of potash. worth
. 49, ~ -Nt&~-, -l,N orl,,
about four pounds of nitrogen. a little
over one pound of p~hosphoric acid
and six of potash. If you are plant
ing potatoes then you will need less
than a third as much nitrogen as you
would for wheat, and not more than
half as much as for corn, and so o.
the other elements. We recommend
you to study the subject thoroughly
in some good books on soil compost

THE SOCIAL BURDEN.
Evff Effects of Burning the Candle at
Both Ends.

1t is not always dissipation that Is

may come in time to deplete

as fragrant persistence in vicious

People who are Gin society" may
pretend that they can turn night into

in their protracted festivities, with no
fear of the arrival of a day of reck-
oning, but nature with severe impair
TALLY arraigns at length not merely
the hardened roue or ~debauchee, but
the person whose recreation" has
been of an entirely innocent nature
and yet excessive in amount.
1t looks as though society" would
| soon have to come to an understand
ing regarding the number of engage
ments its devotees are expected by
Its unwritten laws to make and to
keep within twenty-four hours. So
cieties for the prevention of cruelty
have been formed, but what organl-
cation is there to prevent cruelty to
society? It is a real hardship to
many q business man, who has to
arise betimes in the morning, to be
compelled to stay up until the small
hours of the night in order to per-
form the function of escort home
from the opera or the ball. The bril-
liant occasion itself ob%literates for
the time being the anXieties of the
working day, but with 1.-The chill gray
dawn of the morning after" the
breadwinner of the household finds
himself facing his clients or his asso-
ciates with his reservoir of vitality
depleted; he has to make a conscious
effort to keep wide awake in order to
meet the demands made upon his
shrewdest and most alert attention.
Even when it is not the captain Of
industry who is concerned, but the
lady of elegant leisure, whose hours
are regulated at her W sweet will,
it is plain from the fourishing state
of the sanatoria for nervous invalids
that the normally constituted woman
can not be ION the go" necessarily

teas i~nterspersed, as it is the newt

A Washington's Birthday Party.

At a Wasbington's Birthday party
the guests should be arranged two by
two to represent the 22d. There
should be a booming Of business on

circulate reports.
A cherry tree may be represented
by the bows of the guests and the lips
of the ladies. A dog might furnish
the bark, and also delight the guests
when he leaves.
Hens should be in evidence be-

1t Paws to Rush Pigs.

There are times in the early life oil
a well-bred hog when he will give
you 100 pounds of gain for 300
pounds Of feed; there are other times
later in life when he will charge You
500 pounds of feed for 100 pounds of
gain. The profits on feeding are
greater therefore in early life.
Profits indeed may fail altogether if
the hogs are not developed rapidly to
market size and sold before they have
passed the stage where gains in
weight car be made economically.
The number Of pounds of feed re-
CURED to make one pound of pork
varies from less than three pounds of
feed to considerably yer five pounds,
according to how heavy the hog is,
when its weight ranges between ff-
teen and $50 pounds. Henry COM
piled the figures on more than five
hundred tests that included over
twenty-five hundred hogs and repre-
scented the tests of many stations and
that extended through a good numb"r
of years, and found that the average
is that:
A fifteen to fifty pound hog needs
293 pounds of feed for 100 of gain.
A fifty to 100 pound hog needs 400
pounds of feed for 100 of gain.
A 100 to $50 pound hos needs. AIT
pounds of feed for 100 of gain.
A $50 to 200 pound hog needs 4S2
pounds of feed for 100 of gain.
A 200 to $50 pound hos needs 49S
pounds of feed for 100 gain.
A $50 to 800 pound hos needs 535
pounds Of feed for 100 of gain.
If a man will use any of the good
breeds of hogs-and no one breed
possesses all the good qualities-and
will use enough good pasture ard
crops that they can harvest them
selves, the feed needed to make a
2OO-pound hog ought not to cost over
So or Sc; and other weights will
make gain at a cost proportionate
with the figures just quoted. This is
on the supposition that well-bred
hogs are used and that the manage
ment is good all the time.
These figures carry their "
moral; and if a man will not work
with the laws of Nature, they will
work against him.-The Progressive
