Pleasing for Mother.

John Francis Brooks came home
from his desk in the first grade room
at school. and his face was radiant.
He scarcely could wait to get in the
house, he was so anxious to tell his
mother all about 1t. He clasped her
around the neck as she bent down to
kiss him.
What do you think. mother?" he
asked. His eyes were dancing and
his lips were trembling with eager
ness.

mother what Is it?"
The measured slowness Of Johns
words was comparable to the impor-

Mother, he said. Its something
nice that the teacher said. She said
oh, mother. she said that I was next to

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Farm improvements.

A good way in which money can Of
ten be safely invested on the farm is
by rearranging the barns and stables
for the sake of greater convenience
and in nine cases out of ten in putting
in ventilation that will add very great
ly to the comfort and health of the an
imals No farm is properly improved
that does not have a water system by
which stock can be watered with the
minimum of labor and the maximum
of comfort and thrift of the stock.
Two or three hundred dollars invested
in this way will return three or four
times more than bank interest on the
cost. Again, there are many farms
that need drainage-nOt merely bottom
lands and sloughs, but the seepy places
on the side hills 1t does not pay to
have any loafing acres on the farm.
Every acre should be made to produce
something profitable. A man cannot
afford to pay taxes and keep up fences
on land worth from $50 to $50 an
acre without compelling 1t all to make
it's contribution to the profits Of the
farm.-Iowa Cor. Farm Progress.

Hous on Dairy Farms,

In territory like the west. where
the dairy interests are increasing rap
idly, it would seem that there is an
opportunity to raise large number of
hogs in connection with the dairieS If
there are any two animals which are
particularly fitted to go together on
one farm they are the dairy cows and
the pigs.
In cases where dairies are run for
city purposes and all the milk sold di-
rect there may be some excuse for the
proprietor not raising any hogs. but on
farms where only cream is sold and
the skimmill kept at home the absence
of Il good herd of pigs shows bad man
agement. There is probably no one ar
ticle of diet that is cheaper or more
capable Of producing quick growth i'll
pigs than fresh skimmik, and the pig
pen is the one market where every
dairyman can dispose of the surplus
sEimmillS with the greatest profit

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
Ginuered Pear.

Pare and core hard pears sufficient
to weigh eight pounds. Chop in the
chopping tray until they are coarse,
about the size of dice To eight pounds
of fruit add six pounds of sugar. Put
in preserving bottle and let stand
overnight. In the morning quite Il
strip will have formed. Place over
the fire and add three-quarters of a
pound of dry preserved ginger. The
square cut ginger is usually the cheap
est and is good. If the larger pieces
are used they should be cut fine. Cook
slowly several hours. When fairly
cooked add the juice of three lemons
and a little of the thinly pared yellow
rind. Cook until the sirup is thick
and of dark amber color When
cold seal in small dark glass jars or
jelly tumblcrs. Remove the juices of
lemon rind. The late hard pears make
the best preserves. This must be stir
red often in cooking, as it scorches
readily

Curly Coated Pios,

In September last the department of
animal husbandry of the Ohio State
University College of Agriculture re
ceived from Lincolnshire. England. five
Lincolnshire curly coated pigs. These
are the first pigs of this breed to have
been brought to America. This is an
old English breed. white in color.
known mostly in Lincolnshire, Eng
land. During the past two years it has
been quite successfully shown in Eng
land. Good specimens of the breed
have Il very curly white coat of hair.
The head is similar to that of the
Chester White, although the ears are
somewhat larger and more pendent.
Lincolnshire breeders regard it both
rs Il general purpose and also very
superior bacon breed.-C. S. Plumb in

New 7vpe of BRIDGE,

According to the Stockholm Dag
blad. the chief of the Beton cOnstruc-
ton Office has proposed for the new
bridge over TrirneDergssund con-
struction OF Il totally new tyne. The
bridge suggested is a pontoon bridge,
but differs from the usual type in that
the pOntoonS are quite submerged and
are anchored to weights resting on the
bottom of the sea. The bridge. which
is constructed with latticework, con
sists of long links thirtytive meters IN
length each Of which rests on two
pontoOns. The excess Of sustaining
power Of the p0ntoons is so great that
tramwnys passing over the bridge dc
not cause any depression whatever of
the pontoons. The whole bridge re.
mains thus perfectly still. independent
of the water level.

To Tell Ace of Sheen,

Sheep have two sets of inciSor teeth
on the lower jaw only. There are four
pairs The first or middle pair of tenn
porary teeth are replaced by perma-
nent ones when the lamb is thirteen to
fifteen months old After this the sue
ceeding pairs of permanent teeth ap-
pear at intervals of little less than u
year. Most shepherds reckon a year
for each pair When the last pair is
fully up and in wear the sheep is four
years old AS the sheep grow older the
teeth grow narrower. and at the age
of eight or nine years they shorten
rapidly and finally disappear.

- BOY scout movement in England
NJ has attracted worldwide inter-

tries similar plans to arouse the pa

military tactics, etc, are being dis
cussed. Something along these lines
was the recent outdoor schoolboy rifle

1t Is to work up interest in this sport
among boys when concerted effort is
put forth. a brief sketch of how this
tournament was arranged and carried
to successful conclusion will. no
doubt, be of interest to other towns
and cities.
The first step was to secure the loan
Of the District of Columbia range and
the cooperation of the national guard
officers as instructors and range Off
GERS. This cooperation was most
heartily given. The war department
was then approached on the subject
of arms and ammunition Washington
is peculiarly situated in that it has a
well organized and well drilled cadet
corps and under the law the war de-
partment can furnish the corps with
arms and ammunition. A sufficient
number Of rifles was borrowed from

The life of iron single nails Is
about six years. An iron nail cannot
be used again in putting on a new
roof. Solid zinc nails last forever and
can be used as often as necessary. AS
zine is much lighter than iron, the
cost of zinc nails is only about two
and one-half times that of iron nails.
