DELIGHT OF ARTISTS
Etretat Scenery Has Charm and
Great Variety.
Quaint "Hesselry" In Purest style Of
Norman Architecture Possesses
Much for Those Who Can
Appreciate Beauty.

Paris.-Etretat, owing to the charm
and variety of its scenery, has long
been the delight of artists. Their ap-
probation will be heightened by the
latest addition to it's attractions, a
building in the purest style of Nor
man architecture. 1t is quaint hos
telry" that seems like a relic of the
feudal age, as it has been rebuilt
from materials collected with taste
and infinite pains from ancient edi-
fees that have been demolished dur
ing recent years in different parts Of
the province.
The result is a beautiful and au-
thentic specimen of rustic Norman
art that all lovers Of the picturesque
will admire and all connoisseurs will
value. It's resuscitation is the realiza-
ton of an idea of Mr.. de La Blanche
tails, director Of the Golf hotels, who
some time ago determined to build,
with materials of we'll established au-
thenticity, genuine old Norman
house. The work has just been fin
ished and the "hostelry" opened in
connection with Mr.. de La Blanchetais'
hotels. Nothing but praise can be
said of the way in which the idea has
been carried out by the architects
and builders, Messrs. Mauge and
Hamel
To start with, they had nothing but
the land on which to build the house,
and the idea of copying one of the
oldest houses in Lisieux, which, some
years ago, was pulled down and the
materials taken to England. From
the photographs Of this house the
architect made his plans, improving
on 1t by adding parts modelled on
other existing houses, notably sur
roundings of Valmont. The material
with which this reconstructed house
has been built is all ancient and OBJ
tanned from different sources. Much
of the oak that forms the outside
construction and the floors came
from the old postofice of Lisieux,
demolished last year and replaced by
building more suitable to modern
requirements.
The principal entrance and stair
case were a notable find. They came
from an old farm house in Fauville
and are known to date back to the
seventeenth century. They are of
massive black oak, the balustrade
and supports being handsomely
carved, and the door still retains its

UNIQUE LABOR TRAIN

The Pacific division of the Panama
canal can boast of operating the big
gest labor train in the world. This
train is run for the accommodation of
the force living between Panama and
Pedro Miguel, working at the locks or
the Culebra cut. There are % cars,
and the average number of passengers
is estimated to exceed 1900. Three
cars are for gold employees" term
used to designate those who are paid
in United States currency; five cars
are for SILVER employees" or those
paid in Panama currency, and the re-
naming cars are for colored employees.
Each of the cars for gold employees"
carries so to 20 passengers without
crowding, while those for Silver" or
European employees are packed tightly
and those for negroes are filled like
sardine tins. In fact, according to the
conductor of the train, the average
number of negroes in car was 165.

few USEFUL HINTS
FOR GARDEN WORK
Get Ready for Planting Turnips,
Winter RadiShes and Lettuce
Before Frost Comes.
.Ry L. M. BENNINGToN.)

Keep the small-toothed cultivator
running at depth of two and one-half
or three inches. If you cultivate deep
er you will tear up the root-system of
the plants, and the tops will suffer
while the root growth is being re-
placed. Get ready for planting tur-
nips, winter radishes and lettuce to
transplant into cold frames just before
frost falls.
Get the cucumbers every morning
for pickles. Be sure and cut all, as
any left to mature will cause the
vines to decline.
Handle the small cucumbers no
more than necessary. as the handling
breaks of the small spines which
causes them to lose much of their
flavor.
After cutting the small cucumDers
do not wash them, but have two ves-
sells at hand, one for the small ones
and the other for the large. Put in a
handful of salt, then layer Of cucum-
bers and every three or four layers of
cucumbers put in layer of green.
grape leaves.
Weigh all down with plate or a
stone cover and the cucumbers will
make their own brine.
Keep your eyes on the egg plant
bushes. The Colorado potato bugs are
fond of the tender foliage and will
leave all other vegetables for them.
Mix a tablespoonful of Paris green
with a gallon of air-slaked lime and
put this in a coffee or gunny-sack and
shake gently over the plants while
the dew is on. This will fix the young
beetles and Is also good for turnip-
fieas.
Do not forget that We shall want a
garden next year and watch the weed
growth around the fences and in the
pastures so that none go to seed. Do
not let any kind Of trash lie around
for breeding place for insects.
Keep the soil loose and mellow
around the celery. Begin handling and
at each cultivation draw little dirt
to the plants.
A few rows Of celery may be
blanched by setting up 10 or IL inch
boards on each side of the row and
placing clean straw around the plants.

MOST ECONOMICAL
OF ROUGH FEEDS
SiIage Is Greatly ReIiShed by Al
most All Kinds of Stock
Good for Milk.
(By A. o. CHOATE.)

1t is usually estimated that it costs
20 cents to 81 per ton to put corn into
the silo. but l know that my neighbor
and myself put it in for so cents or 60
cents at the outside, per ton.
l find that on my FARM can cut an
acre of cocn yielding Ii - IA tons
and put 1t in t&s 81 10 for 81, or about
SO cents the ton.
The same acre of corn would have
$50 bushels of ears that would cost
me SIS in the husking alone, which,
with the cost of cutting, shocking
shedding and grinding. cost me double
what 1t does to put the crop into the
silo.
My silos last year were filled very
full. holding 20 acres, close to, or
quite 300 tons, and the total expense,
Sguring men at $1.75 per day, would
be $fSQ, exclusive Of the board for
the men.
In what other manner can one han
die a crop of corn so cheaply and have
1t ready to feed right where it Is
wanted?
Not only Is silage the most economi-
cal of rough feeds, which is, | think,
the greatest claim that can be made
in its favor, but 1t is also greatly rel
ished by almost all kinds of live
stock and is absolutely necessary for
the production Of maximum of milk
in the winter time.
It is a very easy matter to tell by
the condition of the cows coat in the
winter time whether she is getting
silage, as it's succulence has the same
effect on the system Of the COW that
pasture grass has, and 1t keeps her
thrifty and in the best condition for
her everyday work.
Sllage is also more digestible and
nutritious than the same amount of
dry feed. Another point in its favor
Is its convenience.
With silage ready for feeding every
day in the year much less help Is re.
oCired to care for the live stock than
will be needed where it is necessary
to cut or shred fodder in the winter
time. t
Ten or twenty minutes per day will
be all the time required to get out
the silage and feed the herd.
Practically all the talk about silage
for feeding is concerning it's use for
winter feeding, but I insist that it is
almost as necessary in the summer as
in the winter.
If we could be sure that we would
have plenty of rain and resulting good
pastures all summer, silage would not
be necessary, of course, but almost
every summer brings dry period
when the pastures get poor and the
COWS shrink in their milk supply and
then it is hard to get the cows back CO
their normal flow, even if later we do
have the good pastures again.
Nearly all the best dairymen like to
supply some feed to their COWS, even
when on the best of pastures, both for
the food value to the cows and for the
manurial value to the pasture, and
nothing is more convenient for this
purpose than good silage.

GOAT SKIN CHURNS

Goat skin churns are the proper
thing in the Asiatic deserts. They
are the unique butter-making contriv-
ances of the world. These churns re-
semble gigantic footballs, varying in
size according to the extent of the
family. They are constructed of
goats skin sewed together in the
form of ball with the hair side in.
Cream is run into these bags until
they are about half full, and the bal
ance of the space is filled with air
from the churner's lungs. Then these
churns are suspended from three
sticks and a rocking motion begun.
The air on the inside is calculated
to aid in coaxing the butter from the
cream. After the churning the prod
uct is strained through cloth, for the
goats hair has a tendency to shed
during the violent operations.

BROKEN HEARTS A REALITY

We often hear of broken hearts. and
usually with smile of incredibly.
Medical science has discovered that
literally broken heart Is by no means
as uncommon as one might fancy.
Heart failure as cause of death is
about as satisfactory as to say zone
dies for lack of breath" heart failure
being merely a result of clearly de-
fined conditions. Broken hearts can
easily be brought about by diet of
sweetmeats, with free use Of fer
mented liquors. These weaken the
tissues of the heart, and pave the way
for sudden dissolution. 1t has been
supposed that the fatty degenration
of heart was an incurable disease, but
this is another popular error, as such
conditions are durable by a suitable
diet and proper medical treatment.

(By ELMER HENDERSON, Illinois.)
Every farm in the corn belt, wheth-
err large or small, should maintain a
few sheep. They are docile, clean and
easily handled.
Compared with the cost of maintain
ing other stock the up-keep of main
tanning a small flock is quite small.
They do best upon a grass diet with
little grain in addition. The profit
comes, not from keeping them as a
main issue, but from a few head of
we'll bred, well fed ewes, kept to clean
up the fence corners, keep down the
lawns, Craze on the roadsides and
other kindred places.
The keep of a flock managed this
way is practically nothing, for what
they eat would otherwise go to
waste.
A flock of ten or fifteen sheep SO
managed will yield very handsome
income. Fifteen ewes can easily be
depended upon to raise 20 lambs,

by the country buyer, will bring 500
