and owls, which are enemies of these
rodents, are continuously prosecuted.
The mice live upon roots, seeds, sue
culent vegetation and bark of young
trees, and are very destructive to
sweet potatoes and other tubers, as
well as to trees and shrubs.
The most practical method of con-
trolling this pest is by poisoning.
Sweet potatoes cut into small pieces
have proved to be the most effective
bait. They are prepared as follows:
Sweet potato bait-Cut sweet pota-
toes into pieces about the size of large
grapes. Moisten four quarts of these
and drain off excess moisture. Slowly
sift over them one-eighth of an ounce
of powdered strychnine (alkaloid),
using pepper box or salt shaker for
the purpose, and stir constantly to dis
tribute the poison evenly.
One or two pieces of the poisoned
sweet potatoes should be dropped into
the tunnels through the natural open
ings, or through openings made with
stick A systematic use of this
poison invariably results in an almost
complete determination of pine mice.
These pests are also easily trapped, but
owing to the extra time and labor re-
quired, this method does not compare
favorably with poisoning.

said Neptune; now run about and dry

next called the nymphs around him
and told them he would forgive them
for coming to the ocean without per-
mission if they would forgive the
fairies and take them safely home.
The nymphs gladly agreed to this,
and soon they had large shells for the
fairies to sit in. Il shall leave this

The queen had always told them to
keep away from the water, whether it
was river, an ocean or lake. for the
water nymphs hold full sway there
and they should not intrude.
But the little fairies saw the big
leaves floating over the surface, and
they looked so attractive in the moon
light they could not resist the tempta-
ton to take sail.
Il do not believe the nymphs could

fast and then they are asleep at this
hour" And soon they were gliding
along like so many flowers; their little
wings were like tiny sails and made
them go very fast.
But the water nymphs were soon
aware that someone was in their do
main, and the first thing the fairies
knew the smooth surface of the water
became like little waves and the
leaves and their passengers tipped in
the most threatening manner.
ooh, dear!" cried the fairies, sup

in alarm, for they knew that if their
wings were wet it would spoil their
beauty.

nymphs came to the surface.
$50 you have been bold enough to
sail on our river" they said. 1--WE will
let you sail about for awhile and see
how you like it." And they splashed
water over the poor little fairies, who
begged them to stop.
"Why did you come here if you did
not like the water? You thought we
were asleep and you would steal a
SAIL" said one nymph.
1--WE will give them sail in our
swift boats" said another, and up to
the surface came hundreds of shells
drawn by glistening fish.
The nymphs made the fairies get in
to the shells, and such wet looking
fairies as they were. Their wings hung
limp upon their backs and their pretty
dresses we're spoiled, but they meekly
obeyed the nymphs for they were
afraid upon the water and did not dare
use their wands.
The nymphs floated along beside the
shells, and the fish swan like mad
creatures through the water, the
fairies clinging to the shells and ev-
cry minute expecting to be thrown
out.
Suddenly they saw right in their
path big chariot drawn by dolphins,
and all around 1t were mermaids blow
ing water from shell horns, and the
moonlight falling upon the stream
made them look like silver. The
nymphs drew back for they knew it
was Father Neptune, and they knew
also that they had left the river and

Few Figures to Which It viii NOT
Lend Grace-illustration Shows
One of the Newest of
the Skirts.

It is a long time since trains were
stylish, but they are in vogue now
and are, no matter what hygienlsts
say about them, very becoming TO
women. They lend grace and an APP
pearance of height to a short woman
and cause a fat one to look less bulky.
Besides, they give an air of dignity
that many a figure requires, and which
some figures never exhibit except in
a train dress.
This design is one of three-gored
skirt and can be made with or without
a train. 1t also gives a tunic over
skirt in the event that the home
needlewoman desires to make up
tunic in the new style, to conceal
narrow skirt that must still do service.
Some of the trains are now made OF
different material and design from
that employed in the rest of the gown.

GOOD TIME 70 PRUNE TREES
Much Depends Upon Object Sought,
Age of Trees and Convenience in
Performing the Work.

1t is a fact that trees pruned in
June are more likely to set fruit than
If pruned in spring or winter; also
wounds made in June heal more
quickly than when made in early
spring. On the other hand, it is a
fact that most farmers and orchard
lists are too busy in June with other
work to attend to pruning; also it is
more difficult to prune in June, be-
cause the leaves cover the trees and
interfere more or less with rapid, easy
work. 1t is also a fact that no one
rule will apply to all cases.
If farmer or fruit grower wants
wood growth in young orchard or on
young shade trees, he will get it most
quickly by doing his pruning in early
spring, whereas, If he wants merely
to promote the formation of fruit buds,
he will find that June pruning is best;
so, looking at the question in a large
way, there are two best times" to
prune trees-depending upon the OBJ
ject sought, the age of the tres and
convenience in doing the work.

EXPENSE OF RAISING HEiFER
Estimated All Way From $50 to $75-
That Amount Will Often Purchase
Good Dairy Animal.

Is it cheaper to raise cows or to buy
them? Opinions vary as to the cost of
raising a heifer to milking age and 1t
has been reckoned all the way from
$50 to $75.
If this is correct it may be more
profitable to buy than to raise them.
for that amount of money will often
purchase a pretty good heifer about
ready to produce milk.
1t is probable in this reckoning that
retail town prices have been charged
for everything consumed and no al
lowance made for what was returned
to the land; also that the calf must
have been fed whole milk for a long
period.
1t is possible to raise calves on
cheap feed for most breeders do not
care for a heifer calf to get fat until
she has grown frame.

erings, pleased at being her constant
escort and at the attention she re-
ceives. But this is not an indication
that he intends to make love to her
or cares to be nearer and dearer than
Just a friend.
The trouble is that men of this kind
are apt to call too often on such girl
friend, quite forgetting that they are
sitting out other would-be lovers
whom they find in her parlors and
driving them away. The young
womans hopes are raised. as well
Nor can she be blamed for miscon-
STRUNG his friendship for a tenderer
sentiment. Friendship. is one thing;
love is quite another. Friendships
claims should not stand in the way of
the girl enjoying the same privilege
with others who could be quite as
a somewhat foolish girl who would
fasten her friendship upon one man
only if she knew it was to end as it
began. Men who have made up their
minds that theirs should be visits Of
friendships only should not call too
often upon the woman. They should
be careful, too, that their conversation
should not drift into sentiment or their
handclasp become too tender or linger-
ing at parting.
It's all of these little indications,
the compliments he pays her and what
he says, that give a girl hope. Her
heart feeds upon it. She is neither
stick nor a stone. A woman's dover
of tender love has come to her, even
though no avOwal of love has passed
between them. Nor has he offered his
heart and hand in marriage. AS soon
as he is aware that he has become
nearer and dearer to her than all 9th
ers, he raises the old cry-she has
misconstrued his friendship
The fame of love could not have
burned had he not have lighted the
lamp of expectation. There never was
a claim more abused than that of
friendship between man and woman.
When it seems likely to become ne
cessity to one or the other, and we'd
lock cannot be the immediate out
come. it had best be snapped asunder.
ere the cord becomes too closely knit
to break without regrets. When a
woman begins to watch for a mans
comings and he to count the evenings
until he shall be by her side again,
they have wandered together out of
friendships path into the broader,
more beautiful path of love. Friend
ship is often misconstrued when it
should be called by it's right name
