Without question, the Scots curler
of whom Lord Lyveden tells in FTy's
Magazine placed the proper value on
his sport.
During a recent curling match In
Switzerland, the skip Of one Of the
teams. who happened to be a Scots
man, was so delighted with the accu-
rate shot Of one of his team, that he
was heard to address him In the fol-
lowing manner: Lie down and dee.

The First Toast.

Wilson Miner, the well-known
viveur, explained, on a New York roof
garden, the origin of the word "toast"
--toasting a lady.
You will remember" he began,
that In olden times 1t was the custom
to serve punch with toasted-that is
to say, roasted-apples floating In it.
These apples were called the toast.
The toast-remember that.
We'll, it happened at Bath one day
that celebrated beauty stood in the
Cross Bath, surrounded by throng
of admirers, and one OF these admir-
ers, intoxicated with admiration, took
a glass OF the water in which the
ebauty stood, and holding it aloft,
drank her health, draining the water
to the last drop.
Beau Nash, who stood near by,
shouted:
81 like not the punch. but would
] had the toast!'"

The amount OF money invested in
farm machinery on the average Mich.
igan farm is nearly as great as the
money invested in q barn. The barn
is always insured against fire, but the
machinery is never insured against
rust unless a good shed has been
made for It. Some machines ought
never to be rained on and IL the shed
Is handy they can be run in instead of

Care Of Stations,

A stallion shut up in dark stall
without the companionship Of other
horses often becomes moody and saw
age. Some English stallioners ride a
pony while leading their horses for
exercise, and the horses become so
attached to these ponies that they
become fretful and uneasy when they
are not near.
At night the ponies are given a
stall next to the horses. OF course,
some horses are too savage in nature
to permit their being led in company
with pony. but IL broken to this
treatment when young, stations can
be handled in this way.

Fall Sown CIover

Even last year there was good sue
cess with fall-sown clover and the
season was none too favorable. There
are great many enemies to spring
sown clover, weeds. grasses and too
thick stands Of grain, which fall seed.
Ing escapes.
When a spring seeding has been
scorched out after removal OF the
grain crop, the land should at once
be disked and reseed the clover on a
fine seed bed with firm subsoil.
Even IL II is very dry the chances are
there will come enough fall rain for
the clover.

II Is usual practice in the spring
to have what is called "cleaning.up
day" There are some thing, however.
which ought to be cleaned up in the
fall, such as weeds which have been
missed and are waiting to scatter
their seeds far and wide on the snow
in winter, and limbs in the orchards
which will invite rabbits to live there
and nibble the fresh bark of young
trees.

long lived seeds makes it an especially
bad weed. Its tall green tassel which
contains such an abundance Of yellow
pollen is said TO be the cause of hay
fever. Careful farming with clean cul-
tivation crops, such as beans and corn,
is the most effective system of holding
this weed in check.

that Brother Charles got was a let
ter stating that Brother Will was

This letter Infatuated Colonel

When Burton WAS elected, Brother

Thus two Of the most powerful
