The talking doll of oir later holiday
seasons is the lineal descendant of a
rude and simple ancestry. We can
trace its history, with that of civiliza
tion, by the figurines of Tanagra and
the ivory figures of weathy Home. Ily
a comparison of customs among the
South sea, islanders, we mav satisfy
nit-selves that dolls were prized by
hildrcn in prehistoric times.
The daughter of the savage makes h r
iwn doll, and invests it with all tie
graces and charms of form ami dispo
sition. 1 ravelcrs tell us that the make-
ludieve child of the little savage oft -n
consists of nothing more nearly human
than an car of corn in tin husk, a long
gourd or a cueiimlier. or even, in cases
f extreme w ant, a tig leaf made into a
roll. This she s.Hithes and chides, and
sings to. and interests with stories of
her own telling.
The ivory doll of the Unman child
was too costly for the ages that fol
h 1 wed the fa II of t In em pin1. Kor
many centuries dolls mii-t have I mc 11

shop-made did Is after the middle age
were the jointed wooden dolls of the
Nether'ands. These were known in
Kngland. and in this country, too, in
colonial times, as "Flanders babies."
These "Klemi-h lieauties" an de
scri'ied as having had "round black
heads, with a well-defined blush on
ither cheek.' They were of wood
from crown to toe. Their legs and
arms were jointed. The wig of brow n
hair was fastened to the head by a row
of iron tacks.
Dolls of the latest pattern an now
manufactured in great numbers in Kn
gland and in this country. Vet afcese
ountries still continue to nn-kirt some
f the cheaper kinds from Germany.
The extent to which dolls are manu
factured in Kngland may Ik judged from
the statement, made a few years ago in
the house of commons, that a manu
facturer had an order for five hundred
pounds sterling worth of dolls eyes.
In I''., in the state of New 1 ork and
in New Kngland. there were at least
rty factories engaged in making dolls.

We v.i-r.' unable to build all at once,
but had the plan laid out and got it
completed as soon as jwissible. The
to.d house was firt built and nicely
linished. at a total cost, including all
lumber, labor, etc.. of 4Xl. Then the
main barn and a part of covered yard
followed in two or three years, at a
cost of alHiut .l.4u. Then last year we
linished up yard to our entire satisfac

We might build the tool Iuiiim slightly

The grading in front of tool house,
however, is very carefully done. The

readily draw in a wagon or most any

The eover.'d yard is in the southeast
corner. It is planked np 7 feet high on
the out ide. and then open feet, thus
giving stock pureairand sunshine with
out exposure to rain or mud. The
buildings protect it from north and

as well as comfort for man nnd Insist

Kee.1 Corn and inihent.
The subject of how to protect seed
corn from pophers is a very important
one. Probably no preater leak than
ju t this can lie found upon the farm.
1 lielieve that fully mie-eiphth of the
stand of corn is injured every year.
have known of wry many pieces taken
so badly that entire replantinp was
necessary: sometimes flax was sown
instead but that is an injury to the
prouniL. If smokinp seed corn with
sulphur or anythinp else will prevent
popliers molestinp it, I would like to
k)nir it. Yon see I want to emphasize
the word i:ow. I have seen a dozen
ways of prevention poinp the rounds of
the papers, but I should hate to pin mj
faith to soiuethinp and then lose a
stand of corn. Poison .and watchful
ness will protect: but it is po lipht task,
and at a season of the year when every
moment is precious, and one can ill
spare the time. Smokinp can lie done
at one's leisure before the rush of spring
work bepins.- Orange Judd Farmer.
