SIGNATURES on PAINTINGS.

Experts rarely rely on signatures
alone to determine the authenticity of
an old painting, but trust rather to
their kh owledge of the painters tech
nique. |Sometimes the painters name
is found in conspicuous place. as,
for instance, in RaphaePs "Sposalizo
at Milan.
Proud 4 having surpassed his mas
ter the youthful gehius wrote On a
frieze INF the very Gnter of the can
vas Raphael Urbinss."
Reynolds hardly ever signed his
work But upon the completion of the
portrait of Mrs. Siddons as "The Trag.
ic Muse" he wrote his name large on
the gold embroidery Of her dress. He
was unable, he said, ITO resist the
temptation of sending my name to pos
terity on the hem of your garment"

Finance as She Is Wrote.

To add to troubles of the Wall street
man forced to spend his summer in
the city comes the necessity of en-
ploying a substitute stenographer in
vacation season. Wall street diction is
hard enough for the regular stenog-
rapher; the substitute finds it next to
impossible.

tutes not long ago tried to be particu-
larly careful and distinct in his dicta-
ton. Nevertheless, Comptroller of the

preted as Crouch district in Kansas. +"

JUST THROWING OUT A HINT
II Charity Fund Was to Be Given to
the Needy, He Could Use
Part of II.

The children of Boston Sunday
school class had contributed their
pennies for weeks to fund which
was to be devoted to charitable pur-
poses, and on the day when they were
to decide on the matter of its dis
tribution each child was called upon
to express an opinion as to how 1t
should be spent.
The teacher explained to them that
there were several charities which
would be glad to receive the fund,
either in Boston or among the for
eign missions. She had impressed
uVon them, however, that the money
might be spent to good advantage
among the sick and needy children
of their own parish. Several bright
speeches on the subject had been
made, when one seven-year-old boy
arose and, evidently bearing in mind
the teachers remarks about charity
beginning at home, said:
81 want you to know that / have
nut good many pennies in that
box" and then, after some delay

Hay Should Not Sunburn

The feeding value, as well as tho
market value, and palatability of hay
Is lowered by being sunburned. The
feeding value is probably hurt most by
the loss of leaves. Sunburned clover
and alfalfa lose large part of the
leaves In handling. and this is the
best part of the crop.
When the sun is shining very bright
ly the alfalfa or grass should not be
left in the swath long. A large part
Of the curing should be done in the
windrow and the cock. Most of the
hay is then shaded and so the damag-
ing effect Of intense sunshine is re-
duced to the exposed portion. And a
stock cover will still further lessen
the injury from the sun as we'll as
from rain.

PQDRpYNVTES

There is nothing tho matter with
the hen that shows bright eye and
a red comb.
Exercise is better laying stimu-
liant for the hens han heat-producing
condiments.
Establish, if possible, a brand of
eggs which will in itself be a guar
antee of good quality.
Green food of some kind is neces-
sary to make hens do their best in
the line of egg production
Eggs ought to weigh a pound and a
half to the dozen or fifty-five pounds
net to the thirty dozen eggs.
1t is poor policy to change the quar-
tiers of hens or pullets while laying,
for it usually checks or stops egg pro
duction.
Experiments show that chickens
with strong vitality and plenty of
masculine characteristics make the
largest gains.
The best place for the incubator is
the one where the temperature is
most nearly uniform from day to day,
under natural conditions.
Collect the eggs regularly at least
once, better twice. a day in moderate
weather and more frequently in very
warm and very cold weather.

SOWING SEEDS TOO DEEPLY
Smaller Vegetables and Flowers Can
Hardly Be Covered Too Lightly
With the Soil.

More seeds are probably killed by
sowing or covering too deeply than
too lightly.
1t Is no uncommon thing to find
small seeds covered with a quarter
or over half an inch of SOIL
Thousands SO deeply sown perish,
germs either never come to life at all
or are quite unequal to coping with
such weight Of covering earth.
Only the larger seeds of vegetables
should be sown from quarter to one
inch in depth.
Peas, beans and such like seeds may
60 underground two or three inches
but the smaller vegetables and flower
seeds can hardly be covered too light
ly, provided they are covered.
1t should always be borne in mind
that deep sowing ruins more seeds
than any other fault or mistake.

The Minnesota method: First, thor
oughly clean the seed by rinsing it
through several waters, taking one
pound Zone pint of formalin and
pour into barrel containing 40 to 45
gallons of water. Place the grain in
a gunny. sack and dip it into this bar
rel until you are satisfied that every
grain has been made wet. Then take
the oats out and dry them. They may
be kept for several days before they
are sown.
