PICNIC

Last week the pupils Of Miss
McLarry's room circulated pc
tition among themselves to Prof.
Haynes, asking for a holiday
Friday that they might go to
Buffalo Springs for a PIC
mic.
After giving the matter due
consideration it was decided that
these pupils deserved something
nice so the request was granted,
TO the delight Of all.
Friday morning bright and
early, the children had gathered
at the school house ready for the
trip. and after a short time all
were ready TO start, going in
buggies, wagons, hacks and on
horses.
The trip was a very pleasant
one as only a crowd Of school
BOYS and girls can make il. BY
the time they had reached the
grounds and taken in the sltua-
ton il was time for dinner which
was prepared by the girls and Of
course it was nice as they all had
a thought during the preparation
Of their little sweetheart partak
ing.
Delicious sherbet was served
by Miss McLarry. Now they
were ready for an afternoon Of
fun. Wading and fishing were the
main amusements and we may
Judge that the next morning
when those who waded were
called to get up they could not
answer abound. We have not
heard from all, but those from
whom we have heard were pretty
badly used up from the effects Of
the previous day, however, they
were willing to suffer the after
effects in order to enjoy the cause
of them.
The party returned late Friday
afternoon feeling very grateful

center was picaninnie playing
with a churn and dasher. The
little thing had kinks that look
ed very much like the real pic
aninnie. Upon entering the
dining room we were very much
impressed with the service. 1t
consisted of a porcelain pitcher
and cups and a large bread tray
filled with ginger cakes. We
were served with clabber from
the pitcher and ginger cakes
from the tray. A red checked

of these things.

We heard some music from
stringed instruments, but could
not tell where they were, which
reminded us Of the serenade of
Mexico. We do not know to
whom the credit for that delight
full music is due.
We bid our hostess goodnight,
and took the train for Alaska
with our mouths and Threats
burning.
The receiving committee at
Alaska were dressed as Esquimo's
and we were ushered into the
parlor, and up to the door of
Alaska. One room was filled
with snow, and icicles hanging
from the ceiling, and all around
the little hut. There was a pond
frozen over in the center Of the
room with polar bears playing
on the ice, a great big bear had
evidently eaten up the Esqulmo
and taken possession Of the
sleigh. There were Esquimo
dogs in front of the little hut,
and in the hut were two very
pretty little Esquimos who pass
ed ice cream out to Miss Reed
who served the guest.
While we were being served
Mr.. Reed entertained US with
music. We were 10th to leave
this beautiful place, but we final
ly bid our hostess goodnight, and
departed for that beautiful
country, Japan.
Mrs. Leard's home was de-
corated with japanese draperies,
umbrellas and fans. We were
very much impressed with the
silent courtisies of the receiving
committee. who were dressed in
Kimonas. Musicians were seat
ed on elevated seats, and
dressed as Japanese, Miss Camp
bells orchestra furnished the
music.
When we entered the serving
room two japanese ladies kept
bowling until we were forced to
sit on the floor whether we
wanted to or not, but after we
were seated we were served with
the most delicious japanese tea,
and made US forget that we were
sitting on the floor. In the cent
er of this room was seated a
young japanese maiden in a cart
who looked very wise.
We then took our departure
for the great land Of Afri-
ca.
Upon our arrival at Africa we
were met at the door by a dusky
maiden, and ushered into the
parlor, which was decorated in
patchwork quilts, sunflowers
and cotton stalks. Most all kinds

that made our hearts yearn for

Fertilizine the Meadow

AS rule farmers pay too little
attention to the condition of the
meadow, it being a general practice
to seed down to timothy and clover
and let the meadow stand for sever
al or until red-top, bluegrass and
weeds greatly injure the yield and
quality of the hay. Where the
meadow stands several years the
only way to renew it without ploW-
ing up re-seeding is to top dress
either with stable manure OF COM
mercial fertilizer. A light top dress
ing of manure put On in the fall or
winter will show wonderful results
on the yield and quality of the hay
and the effect will be apparent for
several crops. The thin places
should be reseeded and it will be a
benefit to harrow the places seeded
to cover the seed and cultivate the
soil so as to give the young grass a
better start. If commercial fertili-
zers must be used only those con-
tanning phosphorus and potash
should be used as the clover which
should be sOwn with the timothy
will ordinarily supply the nitrogen
needed, However where the land
is badly run down it may pay on
the start to apply a complete ferti-
lizer. Wood ashes make a fine
fertilizer for clover and every
pound of ashes from the house and
from mills and other sources should
be utilized, Ex-

Different Kind of Zeal.

Some men are jealous for one
thing and some for another. Some
get worked up to the top notch over
men whom they admire and will 90 |
far enough to, fall out with their
neighbors who may have different
tastes regarding the. qualities of the
men. This principal is quite no
ticeable when a political campaign
happens to be in progress. Men
living as neighbors, in the same
community can i'll afford to lose
their heads over their favorites and
become sworn enemies because they
cannot subscribe to the same belief
This is especially true when the
men over whom they quarrel are
residents of a distant community
and can have no personal interest
except to- receive the votes. Many
of these would not know THEM per-
sonal friends after they are elected
or defeated, as, the case may be. To
be entirely practical it is well for
every one to, accord to his neighbor
the night to, think for himself and
respect him for his opinions. One
can do this and be just as jealous
and more effective for the man a
his choice.
Zeal for a principal is also a goOC
thing. We may preach a princ& Il
l of politics. of religion Of commer
T cial relations, or what not, ant
q at the same time do it in a man
ner that does not offend those VIII
8 cannot subscribe to our paEticuls
/ views. Every man has a right t
n to his opinion. But no man ca
d afford to fall out with neighbO
on account of differences.-Ex.

Hogs properly sheltered will
thrive on much less feed than those
exposed to cold.
Alfalfa hay and corn have been
found to be a most satisfactory fat
tening feed for hogs.
Hog man :.e is almost the richest
of any made IN the farm. Save it
all and put ii out on the land.
If the food is allowed to sour in
the troughS, it viii throw the hogs
off feed. Thi7 will check growth
and is a loss
Don't try to winter fall pigs with
out good provision for slop. Be-
sides the feed.-,s value, the slop en-
courageS the pigs to drink freely
which is desirable in cold weather.
The best teed we find for young
pigs before weaving is shelled corn
soaked from one feed till the next
and sprirklcd over, when damp
with middlings, with a very small
proportion of oil-meal and tankage
added. Salt the mixture lightly
and feed in t:UIghs.
