Making the Little
Farm Pay
By C. c. BOwsFIELD

Owners of little farms succeed most
surely when they aim to have acreage
production, the quality of supplies and
the prices obtained considerably above
the average. This principle is applica-
BILE to all farmers, and owners of small
places must adopt 1t before they can
attain fair success.
Perhaps all readers know of in
stances where some dairy owner has
gained a reputation for producing
milk under the most sanitary condi-
lions possible In ordinary farming. In
.every such case the farmer is immedi-
ately able to add so or 100 per cent to
the price of his milk. He doubles his
income or nearly so without material
" adding to his expense 1t costs little
extra to handle milk and butter In a
nice way. Love for the work, careful
methods and worthy ambition will give
the desired results.
If the usual profit in a flock Of hens
Is 81 each above the cost of food the
aim should be to increase egg produc-
ton and the sale of broilers or other
kinds Of fancy poultry 80 that there
will be profit of So or 81 for each
hen kept. This is to be accomplished
by selecting pullets from the best lay
ing mothers and by breeding up with
full blooded males.

Elaborate Gold Earrinq4.

Perhaps you labor under the delusion
that the principal vocation in life of a
handkerchief is to attend at discreet
intervals the nose when that necessary
feature INDUCES in a little Marathon.
Not so In Vigo, Spain. Yet handker-
chiefs are much more in evidence in
this quaint Spanish seaport than in
our nasal Yankee midst.
Here, however, they are raised to an
exalted position far ahead of their
plain usage of the western world. In
Vigo they cover the head of every peas
ant woman and even the infants in
arms. What matter If the child lacks
shoes, If even a scanty slip is its sole
sartorial effect? Always its head is
carefully muffied from any advances Of
the sun by a bright hued handkerchief
carefully knotted under It's tender In
fantile chin.
A Paisley shawl and a pair Of elabo-
rate 1ligree gold earrings are the two
other necessary adjuncts of typical
Vigoesque toilet In the earring fash
Ion as well as the handkerchief one
the infants of Vigo invariably share.
The toddlers not only have big ears,
but they are also gold trimmed.
Even pauper women In filthy rags
begging by the roadside have ears or
nate with golden baubles Haunted In
the face of poverty.
The tatters of these few beggars are
the surprisingly few evidences of dirt
you detect in this picturesque little fish
ing village. With Its steep, struggling

CHAMPION TREE FELLERs.
Beavers Are More Expert Than the
Best Lumberiacks.

Bust EuEn0OTl&CNds
The most expert lumberjack is In.
ferior to the beaver as a tree Teller
He cuts down trees in the most scien.
tific way. He can fell tree so 1t will
fall toward the pond where he wishes
to construct his home, thus saving
himself unnecessary work.
After the trees are felled the con.
struction work begins. He works
chiefly by night, for he is a nocturnal
prowler The moon is his lantern, the
quiet of the night his inspiration, his
sharp teeth are his Ratchet and chisel
and his little paws are his means OF
conveyance, his spade, his hammer
and his trowel His hard, fiat hairless
and scaly tail is propeller when
swimming and a balance when he is
cutting timber, for he stands on his
hind legs while gnawing down trees.
The beaver Is strict vegetarian
and his diet consists chiefly Of banks
tender shoots and water plants.
To food low grounds the beavers
sometimes have to build a dam ex-
ceeding fifty feet In length. They
usually lay it out with the curve fac
ing upstream. The foundation is built
Of poles four or five feet long by an
inch or two thick. These they lay
crosswise, filling all crevices with mud
The beaver digs up mud with his
fore feet, then holds 1t close to his
breast with his fore legs, swims to
where he has started his dam, and
having deposited it in its proper place
beats the mud down with his paws
not with his tail, as has been believed.

CALLED THEM INDIANS.
How ths Red Men of This countr
Caua "a Ga2 TL.A A.

How the Red Men Of This Country
Came to Get That Name.
But" said the little girl who has
now reached the dignity of owning a
geography, why did they call the PEG
pie they found In this country Tndi-
ansY The people who live in India
ought to be called by that name"
Now, that was a very appropriate
question for the little girl to ask And
the answer to the little girl and to any
other little girls and boys who may be
puzzled by the same thing is that Co
discover America. They didn't, OF
course, know there was any America
here What they did believe was that
the world was round and that by sail
ing far enough they would come up on
the other side. You all know now that
what they believed is true, but In those
days most people believed that the
world was fat and that If ship sailed
far enough out into the ocean 1t would
fall off the edge.
Columbus said that If he took ship
and sailed and sailed he would at last
come to India. Now, India was a very
rich country, and for hundreds of years
Europe had been trying to find an
easier way to get there, SO what Co
lumbus said appealed to good many
merchants and traders, and Spain final
ly fitted out some ships for Columbus.
Won oil kuow that Columbus finally
did reach America, but he belieyed he
had sailed clear around the world and
had come to India from the other side,
so he named the people he found on the
shore Indians" And after it was
found that this was not India, but a
new world, people went on calling the
people Indians because that was as
good a name as any for them, they
thought.-Kansas City Star.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.



In going through your wood lot cut
the poor trees, the decaying and crook
ed ones, instead Of the best ones. Do
not take out the clover and leave the
thistles.
Weed out the Scrubs" is the advice
given to dairymen by the state college
Of agriculture at Cornell university.
In New York the average" COW does
not pay her board.
Try some thoroughly slaked lime as
a top dressing on your lawn this win
ter. Several doses give the best re-
suits, and one pound to each thirty
square feet of lawn will be enough.
Bulbs planted in fiowerpots indoors
should be kept in the dark at first,
since this favors the development of a
strong root system. Now is also the
time to prepare for spring flowers by
planting bulbs outside.
In making plans for another season
1t should be remembered that a field
where tomatoes have been affected
with wilt is subject to the malady In
succeeding years and must be aban-
doned for tomato culture Potato bugs
are largely responsible for spreading
this disease from plant to plant.

Stacking Corn.

Corn fodder contains so much mois-
ture that it will mold in the stack un-
less great care Is used. One way Is to
make the stack narrow, not wider than
the length of bundle and half. An
other way that has been used by North
Dakota farmers with a good deal of
success is to put down layer of corn
bundles, then layer Of dry straw, and
SO on. The straw takes up enough of
the moisture to keep the corn from
molding.-North Dakota Experiment

the quickest way to gain this end Is
by discarding all animals that fail to
