FRENCH THRIFT.

The French people have things
down to a fine point in the making
of a living. Very little is allowed to
go to waste Even the dust obtained
by the vacuum cleaners IN sweeping
stores, offices and dwellings IS used
as a fertilizer and sold for several
dollars a ton.
The ultimate distribution Of the
garbage Of the great city Of Paris gives
pretty good i7ea of the thrift of the
FFenehman. The house refuse is set
out in front in the usual manner ana
is carted away in the early morning
hours. Wagons carry refuse to the
river Seine and there dump it onto
inclined chutes which discharge it into
barges. Both on the barges and on
the street before collection this mat
ter is overhauled by ehiffoniers who
sort out and take away rags, papers
and other articles.
There are many establishments in
Paris that make q business of taking
care of the rubbish so collected and
they dispose of it for the bottles. glass
and other things which can be sorted
out
The most important of these con-
Germs is situated at Bondy, about eight
miles from Paris, which was organized
after the city government had failed
in its attempt to destroy the garbage
by burning. At these plants the com
panies carefully remove all merchant
able matter which has not been pre-
viously obtained by the chiffoniers.
Tin cans are cut up fec the tin, large
quantities of which are sent to Ger

Feed hay, and when the animal is
thoroughly cooled, give all the
water he desires, after which,
feed the grain. At night feed the
same as at noon, only give more
hay; in fact feed as much hay at
night as is given at both morn
ing and noon meals. When a
horse is working hard and is fed
large quantities of grain it is
found advisable, once a week, to
give bran mash for the evening
meal. The bran acts as laXitive

THE FARM HORSE.

Probably the most important
part in the care of the farm
horse is the feeding. A large ma
jority of the diseases among
horses results from faulty feed
ing. SO many make the mistake
Of not securing the best feed.
Their trouble begins when partial
ly matured, musty and dusty feed
is used.
Several points should be taken
into consideration when we de-
eide unan the amount of feed !;
whether the animal is accustom-
ed to dry feed, and if in good
flesh or in a thin, emaciated con
dition.
A horse should not be fed IA
large quantity of hay and grain
without exercise. Many think
that because horse is thin in
flesh no work should be required
of him. 1t is always best to work
the flesh into the animal rather
than to fatten him as you would
a steer.
A good plan is to have a stated
program as to time and amount
% feed to be given. Horses, by
all means, should be fed regularly.
Hay requires time for mastica-
ton and digestion. For this
reason the large per centage of
the hay should be fed at night.
Horses soon learn the manner of
giving food and water, so it is
best to have one feeder and have
his plan followed out for all the
horses. The horse should receive
some water the first thing in
the morning. After watering the
horse is fed a small amount of
hay and then given grain after al
the hay is eaten up. By this plan
the feed which is the most diff
ficult to digest is left in the
stomach, and, therefore receives
proper digestion. The noon feed
should be given after the horse
is cooled and has been allowed to
rest for fifteen minutes or half
an hour. A. small quantity of wat
err may be given soon after the
horse is brought to the barn

TRAINING IN HOUSEKEEPING

Housekeepers must be trained;
there will then be fewer divorces.
The temper disease comes from "a
cute disorder When the house
keeper does not know how or why,
she thinks it is drudgery. 1t is
just the point of view. Work be
comes a Joy and a pleasure, when
we have special education for it.
The geologist breaks rock all day
and is happy. The geologist has
wide view; the laborer a narrow
one.
Housekeeping is a business, a
profession, like any other bust
ness. More people engage in it
than in any other occupation.
Ninety per cent of all that the
people earn, is spent for clothing,
fuel, food and shelter, and yet
no training is given for this worl-.
Bitter experience often teaches
one how to be a good housekeeper.
A woman has the care and
nursing of the body at critical
moments of childhood and sick
ness. She has the training of the
mind in the most impressionable
years of childhood, and she has
much of the government and &c
onomics of the family home.
The duties of women are as Sa-
cred and important as any or
dained for man, and yet it is
only within the last ten years
that any preparation has been
accorded her.
At the Colorado Agricultural
College, at Fort Collins, every
girl in my department has to come
to the lectures given by physicians
and nurses on the care, training
and feeding of little children, and
every girl has to make a complete
baby's outfit before she gets
her degree.
We hope that our girls will
marry and that little children will
come to them. Why should we
not teach these things?
The study of food for little
children is very important thing
1t is just as important to know
how to dress with good taste, to
know the difference between the
sham, the real, and how to spend
money wisely. hope the day will
come when every woman who is
to be married will have to pass
an examination in household
science. Every man who is to be
a doctor or lawyer has to pass
his examination before he begins
his life work.

BIG CROPS,

1t is unquestionably true that the
farmer ha sit within his power to
practically control the yielding pow
ers of the soil, barring hail or insect
pests. if he but understands the true
fundamental principles of soil culture
and plant growth. Judging from ex-
perience. we believe we can grow
larger crops Of grains and vegetables
under a 15-inch annual rainfall, on
the average high level prairie, than
is now grown by the average man
who farms by irrigation. We do not
believe we have reached the limit, but
are hopeful that after further careful
experimenting we will be able to pro-
duce a yield that cannot be surpassed
by any farmer in the more humid sec
lions of Iowa or Illinois, and this in
the semi-arid belt. In short, it is not
question of growing just a living
crop so that the semi-arid belt may
be Inhabited by a class of farmers
that barely exist, but a question OF
growing larger crops every year than
any of the more humid states now
average. This is what the system
stands for.

out. you cannot reach the high limit
of yield without careful attention to
the preparation of the soil
AIR AND WATER.
Air is just as necessary an element
in the soil as the water, but both
must be there in proper quantities. If
there is too much air and too little
moistuer, nitrification ceases. If there
is too much moisture and too little
air, the result is the same From ten
years experience and observation we
have concluded that a certain chemi-
cal action must be practically con-
tinuous in the soil during the growing
season if we are to grow the largest
crops. The chemical action is un-
questionably dependent upon just a
certain ideal or perfect condition of
the sofia physical condition that
will carry in the soil just the ideal
quantity of both air and water-and
then as soon as the soil becomes suffi-
GENTLY warm Natures work begins
THE SOIL MULCH.
The soil mulch is for three pur-
poses-to more readily admit the rain
when it comes. to admit Of a free cir
culation of the air into the soil and
to prevent the Joss of moisture by
evaporation,
Sometimes the cultivation is not
deep enough or sufficiently frequent
and a crust forms at the top of the
firm soil underneath the mulch. This
crust shuts out the air to a degree
and 1t matters little then how perfect
may be the moisture at the roots for
the growth Will certainly be checked.
N1TRAFICATION.
That nitrifcation is a necessity in
the soil during the crop growing sea-
con is unquestionably true If the
process of nitrihcation is going on
sufficiently to meet the requirements
of the crop, this is always evidenced
by the dark green and healthy APP
pearance of the plant.
One illustration with reference to
this may be quite clearly seen by
noting the condition of a fence post.
The portion above the ground, where
the air is plentiful and moisture lax
remains in perfect condition, and deep
down in the soil where moisture is
ample and air scarce the post is al
ways well preserved; but just at or
near the top of the ground the post
is decomposed. indicating that just
the proper quantity of both air and
moisture was present together with
the heat to assure decomposition and
nitrification.

Books and Their Care.

Books on shelves may be seriously
injured if packed too tightly, When
quickly pulled out for use the top
of the back is likely to come Off
Moreover, the constant pressure, IL
too great. will loosen the whole back
in time and the friction in putting
upon and taking from the shelf mars
the covers. On the other hand, a
reasonable amount of lateral pressure
is necessary. II placed on the shelves
too loosely the leaves tend to open
and admit dust, dampness and conse-
quent mildew. In the case of heavy
volumes the weight of the leaves will
be found resting on the shelves If
the books are placed too loosely. This
is likely to make the backs concave.
Badly painted slisIves are another
source of injury to books. Care
should be taken when paint or var
