little LIFTS ON THE FARM
..,.ral Practical Suggestions That
VIII Lessen Work OF the Farmer
Followed Carefully.

EVERY farm ought to be equipped
-,+b a crowbar and tenrfoot iron
timed wooden spike for moving
heavy objects. They save time ana
take the place Of muscle.
The best way to mend straps on
common teamwork harness Is to rtvet
With copper rivets. They never rot
md hold better than wax-ends.
It will pay to have on hand dupii-
Gates Of the most breakable parts OF
+he harvester. It costs time, which
10 money, to stop machine In rush
davis to wait for the broken parts.
A ten-dollar forge and an anvil with
a few other tools will more than pay
their cost the first year.
Every farm ought to have little
work shop stocked with q few good
tools and plenty Of bolts OF various
sizes. nuts, rivets, few pieces of
round and strap-iron and such things.
II the lawn is uneven, put the roll
er on it after a heavy rain this fall
and again In the spring. Use the un-
shod horses to draw it.
It does not pay to keep q runt OF
any kind on the farm. Get rid OF
them.
Never put thick pad under q
horses collar. Leather is the only
thing.
If you happen to run into poison
wv. wash in hot water just as soon
as you can. Grindelia, which can be
had at any drug store, rubbed on the
parts every five minutes until the
itching stops, will also cure it, II done
before the pustules break.
A field of cow-horn turnips will sup
ply a rich table for the hogs from
which they can help themselves and
grow fat.

WANTS THINGS FOR HIS OWN
Desire to Possess Property Is Inherent
In All Mankind-Boy Desires No
Partnership Affair.

The average boy believes firmly In
the principle of the private ownership
of personal property, writes Thomas
w. Lloyd In the Mothers Magazine.
He would rather be the sole possessor
of a broken handled knife with no
blades than a pearl handled, four blad-
ed affair in partnership.
In fact, the desire to own something
Ito possess property-is inherent in
all mankind And mothers should en-
deavor to foster this desire. It will
not only increase the boys happiness,
but will teach him the value of acquisi-
ton within proper limits. He should
have his own playthings, his own tools,
his own books, his own clothes and a
place Of his own in which to keep
them.
A boy who Is permitted to do this
will take better care Of things than
If owned in partnership, and he will
learn eagerly to have a place for his
things and to keep them In their place.
And this IL a valuable lesson. Do not
make a younger boy wear his older
brothers clothing which the latter has
outgrown, II 1t can be avoided. OF
course in some families. where every
cent counts, this cannot be helped. Ev-
cry boy, and we speak from expert
ence. hates to wear another's clothes.
He wants his own
Give him his own bureau drawer and
at least portion OF a closet and teach
him habits of orderliness and system
in the care of his possessions. These
habits are easily learned when young
and their value to the man of business
is incalculable

KEEP WATCH ON TURKEY HENS
All coops Should Be on High Ground,
40 Stupid Little PouIts Cannot

(By r. B. RUsHING.)

(By r. B. RUSHING.)
This spring one Of my turkey hens
stole her nest under a pile OF lumber
back Of the barn. Another chose the
straw stack, and very tame one sat
in nest on the henhouse floor.
II yours have eluded you, look in
such places. Turkeys like old boxes
and barrels on their sides.
A coop with wide roof, that pre-
vents rain from beating In, is valu-
able for hens with young poults.
II the roofs over the coops are not
good, in severe storms the mother
will move about in the coop to get out
Of the rain; the stupid little poults
will not follow, and soon will be wet,
chilled and ready to die.

The RIVER.

The river situation that
has confronted us this week
has been most desperate,
and greatest uneasiness has
been felt by every one in
the parish. Alarming reports
came from White Oak and
Hard Times levees, which
were the scene of much ac-
tivity until pronounced safe.
On Friday a slough of con-
siderable proportion occurred
in Kempe levee, at a point
about eight miles below St.
Joseph. About 600 hands
were put to work at once,
many of our citizens going
down to superintend the
work which was kept up day
and night. The very hard
and incessant rain of We'd
nesday night and all-day
Tuesday impeded operations
somewhat but despite the
disadvantages under which
the work was carried on the
greatest good was accom-
plished and reports from
Kempe have been very en-
couraging and the belief is
now general that the levee
will be held.
The flood stage is not en-
tirely passed and we may
have a rising river for some
days yet, though it is not
believed the increase on the
Vicksburg gague will be
more than a foot, though it
is certain the fight will not
be over until possibly the
second week in May. The
gague at St. Joseph is nine
inches above the highest
mark reached last year.
The Natchez Democrat
says of Kempe:
One of the hardest fights in The
history of the levee system has beer
waged at Kempe's, between Water
proof and St. Joseph, and though
it is declared the levee is safe, ther'
has been no let-up in the work.
Six hundred men are engaged IL
the work. They are working IL
shifts, with three hundred men oil
the day and the same number OF
the night shift. Assistant Enginee
Geo. G. Schoenberger and Mr.. F
H. Curry are directing the work
From private information re
ceived the men are having a hare
time to hold the levee, and saved

Fortunately the men have ampl
material and tools to do good work
the men are willing workers and tn
leaders are skilled in this kind o
work. They held the levees las
