HINTS FOR FARMERS.
the Farm and Fir

Following Is an extract from an ar
ticle showing how an important farmer
near Boston derives great financial
benefit from the city:
To-day there are in Massachusetts,
New Hampshire and Maine farms as
truly scientific as any in Ohio, Indiana
OF Iowa. In h far eastern part of
Massachusetts, where the land is sup
posed to have run out long ago, there
IS the farm of Mrs. John Cummings,
which shows what can be done in even
this section Of the country when farm
ing is undertaken as a business propo-
sition.
The operations on the Cummings
place. an estate Of some 400 acres in
Woburn, about IL miles north of Bos-
ton, are centered around pork raising.
The year around, there are on the av-
erage 1900 or 1000 hogs being raised
for market.
The feeding Of these 1000 hogs is no
small undertaking.. On the Cummings
farm, as on most others in the vicinity
where pork is raised, the hogs are fed
altogether on swill from the suburbs
Of Boston. On this one farm they use
all the swill from Medford, a city OF
$4,000, and a large share of the swill
from the polite and effete city Of Cam
bridge. AT present two large four
horse wagons do nothing but carry this
garbage for the pigs, and it is hoped
that they will soon have automobile
trucks for the same purpose. Swill is
considered the most satisfactory fodder
among h pork raisers of this vicinity
so satisfactory, in fact, thai in bid
dino for city swill the price has been
forced up until now it costs at 70 cents
g. cubic foot. 1t comes dry, and very
seldom does it contain anything harm
full. Only foul OF five times has a pig
been lost on the Cummings place, In
every case due to glass in the swill.
Another instructive feature of this
pig raising proposition Is the bedding.
The Curnmingses buy for their pigs all
the straw, stable litter and manure
from the stables of the largest de-
partment store in Boston, Jordan,
Marsh & Co. As with the swill, it takes
two teams to cart this all the time.
Every day a fresh lot of 1t is pu. in
ach pigpen. The bedding Of the day
before is spread on the land all over
the farm. The success they have with
crops here Is in no small measure due
to the constant supply Of manure from
the ~hoghouses, dairy barn and horse
stables.
AN interesting feature OF this estate
is the way the employees are cared
for. Seventeen antilles live in houses
built fer them on the place by Mrs.
Cummings. There is a delightful spirit
between the employer and the en-
ployed, and little of the trouble with
farm help so common in this section
ever finds Its way into the Cummings
farm"

The Other NAY Round

! A good little story, long current In
England. is Just ROW gaining Amer
lean circulation. Ii has for leading
characters Rudyard Kipling and Doro-
thy Drew, Mr., Gladstone's little grand
child. kipling was visiting HawaT-
den, and. being fond of children, de-
voted himself to little Miss Dorothy
until her anxious mother expressed
the hope that the child had not been
wearying the great author.
"oh, no, mamma" spoke up Doro-
thy, before any one else had a chance
to say anything. but you have no
Idea how Mr. Kipliag has been weary
ing mel"

would not look at her. He had begun
to think that Luke had killed his cou-
sin; nee she heard him repeating the
word 'damnable!' twice under his
breath. Thus she knew that his loyalty
was on the point of giving way.
II seems that they IA luncheon
somewhere together. She did not take
the trouble TO inquire where was;
an old fashioned hotel somewhere in
Kensington, with tiblecloths thai
looked as If they had been used for
several previous ~luncheons and foreign
waters who wore weird looking shoes
and trousers frayed at the edges.
To please her father she ate q little,
though she thought that eating must
choke her. But 1t was wearisome to
argue, and he, poor dear, looked SO mis-
cradle.
Time was precious and luncheon in
termlnabie slow; 1t was past 3 o'clock
when Louisa saw Luke again in the
court room.

Tho Gentle Cynic.

Conscience isn't responsible for all
the towards in the world.
A fellow can't be expected to hold
his job If he can't eve hold his tom
que.
The discretion that is the better part
Of valor is sometimes merely lack Of
nerve.
Peace at any price does not appeal
to a woman She wants it at bargain
rates.
Some people won't believe heaven
exists until they get a souvenir post
card from there.
A man never realizes how many
faults he has till he gets a wife to
point them out to him.
You can't keep a good lar down:
likewise an upstart.
The unexpected happens so often that
it ought to lose its novelty.
Many a profit is without honor in
it's own country, or anywhere else.
The clever girl may inspire respect,
but a pretty one inspires more envy.
We all yearn to do the impossible.
even though it may only be to kick
ourselves.
We always prefer a friend who is
close-mouthed rather than one who is
close-fisted.
Money is the root of all evil, and
sometimes of the family tree.
Lots of people talk too much and
say too little.
Good judgment isn't Of much value
unless you make use of 1t.

QUITS SICKBED TO

BEFORE HIS CHUM
Former Connecticut Militiaman.
Patient At Hostess Home,
Makes Her His Bride,

New Haven, Conn.-Special: Franks s.
Cornwell, former commander OF the
Connecticut naval militia, and Ebenzer
Hill, Jr.. who succeeded Mr.. Cornwell as
commander, made a wage three
months ago. shortly after Mr.. Hills
wife had divorced him. Mr.. Hill said:
Frank, you are a confirmed bachelor.
and It's a safe bet that I'll be married
before you
Its q safe bet you won't aughed
Cornwell, who lives in New Haven and
has long been considered one Of the
most eligible bachelors in that part of
the state. I'll beat you out and cover
any bet you make. You are shopworn
and l have just been put on exhibition
In the showcase"
So the bet was made and a day or SO
later Mr.. Cornwell went to visit at the
home of Mrs. Marta Beach at Wood
mont, an exclusive residential suburb OF
New Haven. Mrs. Beach had just d.
vorced Edward w. Beach, president OF
the Manufacturers Foundry
Of Waterbury.
Mr.. Cornwell was not looking well
when he called. During the evening he
was violently i'll and a doctor said
he had a bad case of typhoid fever.
Made Sick Man Easy.
He was made as comfortable as pos
sible in the Beach home n two
trained nurses were engaged to care for
him. That was II weeks ago. More
than once all hope for his ecovery
was abandoned.
To be with her brother, Mrs. Fred
Yates. went to the Beach home. Mr..
Cornwelps one thought was the bet
with Mr.. Hill. Once he said. when he
believed with the doctors that death
was only a matter Of a few hours:
"Eb's won the bet, but Pm no WEIGH
er, I'll nave him paid
Gradually the fever subsidized and q
week ago he smiled as he remarked:
"Eb'l win the bet yet. I must over
come a big handicap"
The handicap was overcome Saturday
evening. The Rev. Joseph Anderson, Of
Woodmont, a member Of the Yale cor
poration, casually strolled into Mrs.
Beach's home. Mrs. Yates was there to
greet him; SO were the two nurses and
80 was Mrs. Beach.
They and the minister were the only
ones who knew that a marriage license
had been obtained and tina Mr.. Corn
well was to win his bet from
Hill, jr.
Makes Mrs. Beach Bride.
The formal naval n
sisted that he would not marry on a
sickbed, that he was perfectly able to
stand If someone would support him.
So he was allowed to get from bed long
enough to make Mrs. Beach his wife.
II win" laughed Mr.. Cornwell. "Tel
Eb I'll expect him to pay, too he
added. Now I must hurry and get back
my strength"
That night Mrs. Yates went to her
own home, and the bride and BRIDE
groom are spending their honeymoon in
the sick room. The services of the
trained nurses are no longer required.
