MARGARET MIxTBR
The most deluded mortal In the world is
the woman who fancies that much can be
gained by scolding or whining or COM
planning.
She may seem TO gain her ends for a
while Ofor at first one will do almost any
thing TO avoid swallowing a bitter doss);
but II she would stop 10 consider she would
soon discover that every day she has
greater cause for seoldins. or whining or
complaining, which ever method she adopts,
and that as the months roll by an ever in
ereasing amount is required to accomplish
the same result.
Why cannot she realize that, and adopt
some pleasanter and more common-sense
method?
The calm woman will appear young
when scolding women OF her age are con-
sideFed old. and she will always have an
Influence for good where they have no in
fluence.-Woman's Life.

How Peanuts Grow.

"Do you know how peanuts grow"
asked Mr.. Joseph D. Warren, of Rich
mond, Va, in a recent interview. Il
have found few persons Of the North
and West who can answer that ques-
ton. Some say on a vine, some on a
bush, some on a tree, and some in
the ground, like potatoes.
"The peculiar thing about a peanut
is that it grows in two ways-on o
bush and like a potato. The first
step IN the process is the planting of
a single peanut. From that a bush
grows, lying close to the ground. A
branch stretches out close to the
earth, and sends up into the air
shoots on which are little yellow
flowers, like buttercups. Directly
beneath these flowers, growing
straight downward, small, sharp
pointed shoots appear, like thorns.
They are called pegs" and grow
back into the ground. 1t is at the
end of these pegs that the peanuts
are found"
Forest reports declare that within
a few years there will not be a single
chestnut tree within twenty miles of
New York City. A fungous disease
is killing them, and is reported as
spreading in all directions. The
elimination of the chestnut would be
a serious loss to timber resources,
for chestnut wood is valuable. The
esthetic loss of this noble tree would
also be lamentable. With it would
go the joys of chestnutting, n of
the most delightful pursuits asso-
ciated with the first frosts of au-
tumn. These excursions of old will
always hold delightful place in all
"reminiscences OF youth. - Indiana

The Cultivation of Corn.

From my observations I am con-
vinced that this latter-day machinery
for shallow cultivation" is not, in
the majority Of instances, on the cor
rect principle; at any rate in this lat
itude. With the present improved
soil conditions we have, by under
draining, clover, ETC., the low average
of twenty-five bushels per acre-as
reported for all the States-is most
deplorable. Even the forty bushels
credited to Indiana this year, which
is above the actual facts, is not more
than half what it should be.
We should plant deeper, and after
the first and second blowing, with
small shovels, go straight down along
side the plants. After this the object
should be to keep out, leaving the
roots u%ndisturbed. There are only
two methods by which this can be
done properly. One is by the use of
larger shovels in order to throw the
(.rt over to the corn; the other eX-
IRENE shallow cultivation, with drag
or harrow, circumstances to govern
the matter according to conditions of
soil, season and time of doing it.
E.-wever, under most conditions l
find the larger shovel the better, as it
throws the soil up over the roots to
nourish and fully mature a crop of
ears. In we olden time the corn
ground was furrowed out with a large
shovel pillow, or maybe a little mold
board, corn dropped down in the bot
tom of the furroW, covered with the
hoe, drag or "straddle bug and cul-
| tivated with larger shovels on the
| pillow or cultivator. And it took a
! hard wind to throw down the corn in
| those days, and needless to say ears
hung over the rows, long and hard
as stove wood. The writer can re-
call as a boy, taking n year as an
instance, in 5000 bushels he raised
| there wasn't a bushel basketful of
nubbins to feed a COW. Indeed / had
to break the ears over the doorsill of
the old log crib 10 get it small enough

Sheep-Killing Dogs.

1t is announced that a Missouri
farmer has contrived a method OF
disposing of dogs which are proving
about of nights after sheep. He
built in his pasture a square pen OF
logs and rooted it, but left a big hole
in the middle in which he suspended
part of a sheep. Nearly every morn
ing when he went to the pen he found
one or more dogs in there, which he
quietly put out of business. In the
course of the winter he caught about
forty dogs and didn't lose any more
sheep. Moreover, he kept on good
terms with his neighbors, which is a
hard thing to do if you shoot their
dogs and go about Dragging about it.

The Turkey Industry.

Blackhead among turkeys has
come so near to working extinction
of the national bird" in New Eng
land and elsewhere that an extended
investigation of the cause of the dis
ease is being made by such scientists
as DR.. Theobald Smith and DR.. E. E.
Tyzzer, of the Harvard Medical
School, and DR.. Philip Hadley, of the
State Experimental Station, of Rhode
Island. A similar disease has Of late
spread to game birds, such as par
tridges and quail, and the Massachu-
sets fish and game commission is
prosecuting an investigation in this
special line.
When the disease attacks a turkey
or game bird, there is no hope, say
the scientists. The cause has brought
forth a variety of opinion, the most
forcible being that the common Eng
lish sparrow carries the organism
which affects the larger birds.

Pertinent Pointers.

If your flock of poultry shows per-
sistent lack of thrift and robust
health, the best thing to do is to
change stock. You will not accom-
plish much otherwise. When a fell
low gets on the wrong track, the best
thing is usually to back out and start
entirely new.
No wonder the poultry business is
growing each year. There are more
than 5000 poultry shows being held
annually in the United States and
Canada, each one of which is a val
liable bureau for the dissemination of
poultry lore and the chicken fever.
Cabbage is one of the most popular
winter green foods for fowls. 1t is
easily grown, easily kept, and easily
fed, and the fowls seem lever to tire
of it. A good way to feed it is to sus-
pend a head in the air by sticking it
on a nail in the wall, making the
fowls jump a few inches in order to
reach it.
Fumigate the hen house often
enough to destroy all germs and YER
min. 1t also pays to use a good dis
infectant frequently and freely
around the houses and yards. Disin-
fecting and fumigation are two i'm
portant matters and should receive
more attention than they do.
The Importance of exercise for poul-
try might we'll be placed subordinate
only to good housing and feeding.
But a writer in observation-disclosures
ly pertinently remarks that scratch
ing to get a minutes peace from
mites and other pests is not the right
kind of exercise" The truth is, OBJ
vious.
Give the fowls plenty of encour-
agement to scratch for their grain
feed by keeping a portion of each
pen deeply bedded with leaves or
straw. There is nothing like it for
promoting thrift and contentment
among a flock of fowls in the winter,
and it is also a great aid towards
getting fertile, hatchable eggs.

COWS, and if the venue only equals
the cost of production there is no
profit in the industry. He is losing
the interest on his investment and re-
allies no profit on his capital II the
expense of operating his dairy is not
less than the gross receipts OF the
dairy products.
The profits in the dairy industry
are measured by the average produc-
ton of the COWS. One animal will
produce 5000 pounds of milk in a sea-
son, and another cow 5000 pounds,
which, sold at 81 per 100 pounds,
would represent a difference Of 500
in the annual income between the
two COWS. If the smaller producer
only paid for her feed and attendance
the larger mixer would net the own
er a profit of $50. A herd of twenty
mediocre COWS may only produce op-
Grating expenses, while a dairy OF
twenty good COWS would yield a net
profit of $1,000. 1t is to the adVan-
tage of the dairyman in every partic-
ular to weed out his poor COWS and
replace them with profitable produc-
erS.
