The freshest eggs always ha tab the best ■ Man tor a big lot of roots for the sheep this year. Easier .to hatch, a toe lot of.shisks than It is to raise them. Keep a good brood sow as long as sh will produce satisfactory litters. Be sure that, the heifer Is well de veloped before allowing her to be bred. It Is better to give a cow six to eight weeks' rest between periods of lacta tion. The disadvantage about June chicks Is that they will not mature for laying _l* the fail. Young ahltks sometimes occupy neats that hawe. been so long used that they are alive with vermin. Neglect to keep one's obligations to furnish eggs has been the ruination of a. great many poultry farmers. Some poultry men feed cut bone the pear around, and records show an In crease In their layipg capacity. A two-weeks’ diet of cornmeal and ißHtainllk will;mean an extra profit on any culled out birds to be marketed. The best calves should, be selected from each year’s crop. This is the only way to keep the herd In good shape. Never,,misrepresent the age of an egg. You can't afford to sell your aoul for thSKSSke of selling a tew eggs. The sheep’s meridian of life Is six years. .After that the dewnhlll side comes at a pretty good jpg. It paya to remember this. If the young chinks have gapes, you may be,pure that the soil 1 contami nated by gape worms, somewhere near the poultry yard. According to Prof. K. C.

The best weuner you can put on the calf la never to allow It to suck the cow after the first few days, the first milk (colostrum) being .ngcessara for ■the calf. It Is commonly supposed th&t tbs feeding of hws ,In summer Is eheP -•r than In winter, because In winter much of the land is .seed to Mtpply animal heat. Many farmers who make poultry culture a side Issue are apt to get it too much on the side. Make It a branch of the farm work, and give it good business attention. Beginning now, a .succession of patches planted to sweet corn, cane, confess, etc.,. twill come In handy for ,ew< feed rih*n pastures get short About three months hence. Make sure that the calf does not get to the cow again, once It la sep arated from her and put on the sklm mllk diet, as It will not only tend to spoil the calf, but will cause the cow to worry sfter her calf and reduce her mfik lew. Market or otherwise remove the males from the flock as soon as no iinore eggs fer hatching are wanted. 'They have no Influence on the number of eggs produced, and Infertile eggs keep much the best, especially In warm weather. Make very Hberal estimates as to the number of chickens you are to • save. This la the time to begin knocking out another possible feed shortage next • winter. For the young calf just learning to ,cat there te nothing better than ground oata. Milking with wet heads te enn of itha most undesirable hablta that n mail waya be ready for use. If possible keep the ewes with twin lambs separate from other sheep for a week or so at least. Provided your cow Is a good one, the more she Is fed along right lines, the more she will give. It has been found advantageous to wash the Inside of the silo with a mixture of cement and water. Put a bull rlpg In the nose of the chronic self sucking cow and you have a humane, effective remedy. Dairy work la just like any kind of work If It Is going to be done profit ably It requires.thought.and care. Silo users assert that they have found away to cut down the cost of handling ouur’B at least one-third took of charcoal, grit and green food together with animal rations iq insufficient quantities means failure. The dairyman. It he will use tke means that are at hand, can build up his soil better than any other far* raer. There Is no animal on the farm that turns a larger profit In propor tion to the money Invested than a sheep. Old sheep sometimes make good money for experienced sheepmen, but young sheepmen should start with young sheep. Some cows begin to "go back** when they reach the ago of eight hut many others are otlll profitable at twelve to fifteen. It la no little labor to keep a stall where several calves run clean and dry, but there Is no other way if you .went to raise god salves. ’ Don’t (Oxppct ,the team to do a hrd day’s .work In the field and then trot a half dozen miles to town and back again after supper. The profit In keeping cows comes from the extra amount of milk that they give above the ordinary yield on common pasture or coarse teed. Hogs should have access to watet at all times, and running water is :o be preferred, adless It flows through farms where other hogs are kept. It costs money to Inclose the chick on yard, of course, but It costs less than the toll exacted by cats, dogs and rats helping themselves to the young chickens. Growing chickens require much .pmat. In mMer to produce the vigor that will id them to resist all kinds of disease and even the attacks of lico and mites. Good care consists In doing every thing from milking and caring for tke cows to marketing the butter or cream as If yeur whole life success depend ed upon It. Hog cholera can be readily pre vented by keeping the source of con tamination away from the herd by protecting the well animals from all carriers of the Infection. Nothing I* more delicious than sweet corn, and If planted at Intervals, perhaps by making two or three plant ings of it, a succession can be kept up all summer and late In fall. The slxe of the udder is not the only point to be considered In judging an udder. It should be soft and pli able and milk down until It Is left like a dish rag at the end of a milking. They are plowing with dynamite now to such an extent that one manu facturer of explosives sold to farmers 800,000 pounds In 1908, 760,000 pounds In 1909, 1,500,000 pounds In 1910, 3.- 000,000 pounds In 1911, and the Indi cations are that this one concern will ■hip 6,000,000 pounds to farmers this year. COSILY n FEIST Odorous Fruit Game High for New York Visitor. Balked it Paying Thirty Cents, but He Would Have Done Better to Settle , and Escape From the City. The moral of this little experience of a man calling himself William H. Grilles, 43 years old, owner and man ager of the Ramapo Inn at Tuxedo, is that persons who are gplng to balk agalpst paying the New York price for onions should leave their “weep uns" at home. The melancholy person basked la the bright lights of Broadway until dawn began to streak the sky. Then he dropped into a restaurant at 69 West Thirty-sixth street. ! "I want a portion of chopped onions," he told the waller. "A grown man’s portion, y’ understand. A real portion of real onions for a live one. I love onions. 1 eat ’em alive. So trot ’em out and see that they have a punch to ’em." A platter of chopped onions was soon before him. He made good on his boast, for nary an onion or frag ment thereof remained When he bad finished. ’,‘What’s the damage?" he cheer fully asked. "Thirty cents," replied the waiter. The patron whooped In .derision. "Thirty cents!" be yelled. ’’Why, man, 1 could gel a bushel of onions for that at the Waldorf.” “Well, you pau’t,get ,’em here for that." retorted the waiter, "so come across.” Instead, (he man went Into the street, followed by the waiter. There they disc.seed kinds and varieties and prices of onions until Policeman Welsh decided If anyone In the neigh- , borhood got any sleep he would have to let the lieutenant at the station house settle the question. When they reached the station, the ■ man describing himself as Ormes still refused to pay thirty cents for the I “grown man's portion” of anions, and , Lieutenant McCarthy, not being an authority on onions, suggested that the waiter make a charge. He did. When Ormes was searched the first thing the policeman found was a fully loaded revolver. The next thing was a blackjack. Seeing that these little ornaments had been discovered, the prisoner became more tractable, paid the waiter the thirty cents he demand ed and the charge was withdrawn. Then he started to say pood-by to catch the 6:15 train home, hut the lieutenant reminded him that he was under arrest for violation of the Sul- | llvan law. “Well, I'll pay that, too," he ngreed. "How much does New York charge for the Sullivan law? Here, I'll give you forty cents to square the ac count.” When he ascertained what he was up against he was alarmed, hut had to gc to a cell. He told the police he was taking the revolver and blackjack up to his Inn he used as curios New York Evening World- OH of Humanity. The American people are making some headway toward the conquest of tuberculosis and some other forms of Insidious disease. They have done much to reduce death by accident and violence But so much remains to be done In both lines that our efforts thus far seem very feeble. One of the big life Insurance com panies bas called attention through one of Its publications to a isw perti nent facts In this connection. For In stance, In commending our manifest grief over the Titanic’s destruction of 1,636 lives. It reminds us that 1.731 lives are wasted every week by vio lence In the United States, 2,885 Uvea are wasted every week by tuberculo sis—-In short, 1,7<80 lives are lost every day by preventable causes. Or, It says. "An American dies every minute from a preventable cause." It goes after American cities for caring more for a low tax rate than they do for a high death rate, and urges the Importance of employing eft flclent health officers. This, of course, la Important, but (bare are other ways | In which we need to rouse ourselves to the supreme and solemn obligation. —Omaha Be. Napoleon’s Imperial Guard. The imperial guard of France was created by Napoleon I. when he be came emperor In 1804. It was formed by a merger of the “guards.” the ‘‘convention," the "directory" and the "consulate.” it consisted at first of 9,775 men. but was afterward consid erably enlarged. In the year 1809 It was. by the emperor’s order, divided Into the old and young guards. In j January, 1814, It numbered 102.706 It was dissolved by the Bourbon Louis XVIII- In 1815, revived by Napoleon ill., surrendered with Metx to tke Germans, and was abolished by the government soon after. Discount, fer Dirt. A curious premium on dirt Is of ferd by a grocer who In his adver tisement of produce In stock has this to say about turnips: "Turnips washed four cents a quart.

This Interchange of Ideas regard ing business methods, municipal gov ernment, how to raise bumper crops and swat the greedy corporations Is the secret of the growth of the west, and also explains why It annually pre sents a new batch of political and civic Ideas and backs them with a solidarity that Is amazing.

SERVES A DOUBLE PURPOSE Cultivation of Garden Reduces Coat of Living and Helps to Beautify the City. There Is no good reason why ths occupant of a small lot In city or town should complain about the high cost of living In the summer time, If he la willing to endure sore muscles for a brief period and to undertake perhaps unaccustomed labor with a spade and rake. Every hack yard on which the sun shines with reasonable warmth can be made to produce fresh vegetables enough to supply the average family In abundance and variety not sup passed by the menus of expensive ho* tels. Every food requirement can be met with vegetables grown in the back gar den. It Is Indeed difficult to find the .soli or location which will not produce good crops If proper skill and care be used In fertilizing and preparing the soli and In choosing the seed. Statistics have proved that the high coat of living Is not due to Increased , expense In producing food, but that the big proportion of the high prices I goes to the middlemen. Every owner of a garden Is Independent of the mid dleman. No time may be lost by th man who wants to try gardening In preparing the ground and sewing th seed. EUsutlful Cities of th* Future. The .development of .American cIU les, especially since the civil war, ha* been so rapid that It has been almost entirely commercial. Like Topsy, American cities have “just growed.” They began with a cluster of shack* at some road crossing and In their growth they followed the lines of least resistance. Streets took the places o| cow paths and gradually a town cam* .Into existence and the authorities thought that all that was necessary to prepare for future growth was to adopt a city plan of square streets of streets conforming to the topographi cal conformation of the place. In many places the main thoroughfare* are narrow and these In later year* have become congested, the cttle* have taken on a hodgepodge look and there has been no room for beauti fying things unless radical changes should be made. . Many an American city has waked up to these conditions and the result has been that all over 1 the country the architectural physi cians have been called In to help things out. If the pace keeps up these architects venture to predict that with. , In twenty years the (Jolted States will have a score, If not more, of beautiful cities, which cannot be surpassed any- I where In the world for their size. {l*se-Bllp Day. Tacoma, In the slate of Washing ton, has worked out an idea that Is worth copying. It has a Tacoma Hose society, and this society has bit upon the plan of giving away rose slips In I order to encourage the cultivation of roses and to help along the campaign Jer. a city beautiful. The first rose- Slip day was celebrated this year. Tbe society was not prepared for the de mand for slips. Crowds, many of 1 whose members were children, clam | ored for cuttings. The society had I only W>oo to gU s away, and this did I not come anywhere near meeting the call.

TIUBAN REJUVENATED BY ODD HEALTH “STUNTS” One year ago Senator Ben Tllljnan . went to ,fils South Carolina borne a i*. - - —i complete physical wreck. His col leagues here never \ believed it would JB; | be possible for the 'J A-., _ \ shadow of the T “Pitchfork Ben” that was to regain his health. ginning present t e South appeared more In his seat In the Senate. Moreover, he looked well. His friends were astonished at his recovery, for everybody thought Tillman was near death. Here are some of the “stunts" which the senator recommends for those anxious to regain their health: “Before arising In the morning take the head off the pillow and stretch out, exhaling all the air from the lungs and then draw In all the air possible. "Draw up the knees, with the heela on the bed. Throw the knees as far apart as they ran be carried, swinging them apart and together vigorously so da to strain the muscles of the thigh. “Throw one foot and then the other toward the headboard, vigorously kick ing It If you can Kick upward with both feet and throw the feet apart as you kick as wide as you can and as vigorously as you can. "Stretch your hands under you be jhlnd the spine, and then throw both Jeet toward the headboard, also using the abdominal muscles to pull up the lower extremities, five or six times, or as much as can be done with one breath. I have reduced my paunch three Inches by doing this, as It changes fat to muscle and hardens the .abdominal muscles. “Grasp the Iron cross at the head of the cot, If you use a cot as I do, gnd throw both feet up, pulling up the body and standing as near on the head as posslb'e. Throw the feet up and down five or six times. Fasten the feet under the crosspiece of the cot, pull the trunk up to a sitting pos ture. and drop back. Repeat four or five times. “The first time I tried this latter ex ercise.” the senator Interjected remi niscently. “I thought I had torn loose something, but It was only the sudden strain of the abdominal muscles, which were very flabby and weak, and after ward I found no pain at all. "Keeping the knees straightened, try to pinch each big toe with each hand. "Throw the head hack as far as possible, then stoop forward and touch the floor If you can This movement Is to loosen the muscles of the spine like working a rusty hinge. "Swing light dumb-bells, one arm going by the abdomen while the other extends above the head as far as possible, and as one goes down ele vate the other. This will lubricate and loosen the Joints of the shoulders. “Twist the spine by throwing one hand to the rear and the other to the front, lubricate and loosen the Joints and make the vertebrae twist each on the other. "I practice all this before breakfast and at night before going to bed, and I feel that It makes marked differ ences In my strength and otherwise. 1 have said that I thought my health would come back to me through this exercise and diet, If at all.” “TEX” RICARD IS NOW FINANCIER AND PROMOTER “Tex" Rickard. former Alaska gambler, .Goldfield saloonkeeper and - - i prize fight promo ter ' * s at * ,ie voy hotel In Lon m; T don, dignified, mm prosperous, quiet, yABW mgj unostentatlousand n reticent about '* ) Goldfield.
