VERDICT A FAVORABLE ONE Small Girl’s Pretty Answer to Stupid Question of Inquisitive Busybody. She was a pretty little tot, and ev erybody who knew her took pleasure in pausing to ask her some kind of question, merely to show an interest and for the pleasure of hearing the musical cadence of her voice. Somt of the questions were what might be termed leading, but for all she invari ably had some kind of an answer. Among these latter inquiries was one from an intrusive busybody who was old enough to know better, but who belonged to a class of persons who never learn. Knowing that the little girl had only recently become the pos sessor of a young and attractive step mother, with a curiosity inborn she ...sked her frankly: "Welt, Pollyklns, how do you like your stepmother?” The < nild raised her bine eyes grave ly, and with her face glowing with happiness, replied: "Oh, very much, indeed, Mrs. Skil lington. We fit very nicely, consider ing that she got us ready made." — Judge. AT THE STATION HOUSE. .3^ Judge—Why did you club this man so severely? Officer —Out of sympathy, yer honor. He's a poor lonely old bachelor who has nobody else to club him. Felt He Had Known the Worst. Pat O’Shaunessy had been told by the doctor that he could live but a few hours, and his wife and assembled rel atives and friepds asked aim whether there was one last wish he would like to have gratified? “There is,” said Pat. "I'd like to hear the village band play once again.” Accordingly the village band gathered. When at last It had played, “Say Au Revuir But Not Good-by,” and had taken Its own de parture, Mrs. O'Shaunessy, kneeling at her husband's bedside, asked: “Can ye die aisy now, Pat?” “Yis,” replied Pat. “I can die aisy now. Hell has nothing worse than that.” Clara’s Little Hint. A certain young curate wanted to give his lady-love a Christmas pres ent, but could not make up his mind what it should be; so the next time he called he frankly told her the diffi culty under which he was laboring. "Want to make me a present!” Clara exclaimed, In well-disgusted as tonishment, “Why, Charley, you for get yourself.” The curate took the hint, and of fered himself on the spot. Misleading Sneezes. “How did you come on with your study of the Russian language?” “Not well. Wnile I was trying to pronounce a few words our family physician oarne along and forced me to take all kinds of mediciue to break up a cold.” Uncertainties. “A number of men who get to the front are mere accidents.” "Yes.” responded Senator Sorghum; “I sometimes think that what our government most needs is some reli able form of accident insurance.” Womanlike.

PROPER ENRICHMENT OF SOIL Farmers Are Realizing Necessity of Adequate Fertilization, Rotation and Thorough Tillage. More attention must be paid to the K'ientific enrichment of our soil. It Rill not do to take everything off and put nothing back. Our farmers are ealizlng the necessity of proper and adequate fertilization, of piuper rdha :iun and thorough tilling their fields, n foreign countries —where more at tention has been given to soil en ichment than anywhere else —it has peen demonstrated that the best re mlts are obtained by thoroughly fer ilizitig all the land. This can only pe accomplished by broadcasting the 'ertilizers on the land and then’work ng them thoroughly into the soil at he time the land is prepared for the seed. The main difficulties have been o get a machine that would scatter lie fertilizers evenly over the ground, io matter what kind of a fertilizer was sown. The chief obstacle has al ways been the fertilizer. Some of It s pasty and sticky, other varieties are umpy, arid some like powder. *The ’ertilizer sower to be a success must be able to successfully handle all liese various commercial fertilizers.

An interesting plowing demonstra i don has just been made on the Ohio State University farm, at Columbus. ! 0. A disk plow, designed for deep plowing, was compared with a six bot tom gang plow pulled by a kerosene Migine. The two outfits were used, side by side, in the same field, both icing good work. The plowed land las been prepared and will be sown :o wheat and the resulting yields com pared. For several yea's the deep I plowing has given lucre sod yields. P-ofits From Diversified Farm. it ;s reasonably certain that any easiness man who runs a diversified farm as carefully as he conducts a store can clear from $1.0)0 to $2,000 a year, keep up his place in proper arder and have a delightful country home. He also will gain considerably ; n the appreciation of th laDd. and he has always the satisfaction of know ing that his Investment is perfectly safe. Potato Yield for 1911. The September government crop re port indicates the yield of potatoes this year to be 250,000.000 bushels, about 90.000.000 busheis less than last year, and commission merchants predict from 34 to 40 cents the peck for this necessity through the winter. Protein for Tigs. Protein is found in skim milk, clover and alfalfa. Corn is nine-tenths car bo-hydrates; oats have little more pro tein than corn, but not sufficient for the pig. WINTER BEES OUT OF DOORS Method Found Satisfactory Where Temperature Has Gone to 15 Degrees Below Zero. A satisfactory arrangement for win tering bees out of doors is illustrated. This method has been found useful even where the temperature has been known to reach 15 degrees below zero and the weather to vary considerably from week to week, says the New Eng land Homestead. As shown the hives are mounted on stands in pairs and covered with a packing case. The stands and the hives remain in posi tion all the year round, but the pack ing case is removed in the spring. The case has neither bottom no: top when first placed In position. This permits the spaces between the case and the hives to be packed with hay, which is much more convenient than chaff, sawdust, etc. As shown in the smaller drawing, the entrances to the hive are open, but some distance back from the outside wall and protected by a little porch. In the upper part of tin drawing is also shown the hive packed with hay and with the loose cover partly removed. If there is much danger of wind the covers should be weighted with stones or bricks. For best results boxes should be deep enough to take in not only the ordinary hive but the super or second story as well, together with the regu lar hive cover. There should also be se\eiai inches between the hive tops and the top of the packing •case. Be tween the walls there should be spaces of four inches at back, front and sides. Between the two hives eight or ten inches is allowed. From the hive entrance to the outside there should be a bridge terminated by an alighting board. If the corners of the packing Case are hinged the case may be stored flat from spring until the following autumn and thus occupy very small space in the apiary. If : this method is adopted screw eyeß and _7“T Packed Hive and Entrance. hooks should be on one corner, so the sides may be loosened and folded. Water should be carried away quickly from the stand. This can be easily done by having the case fit down over a raised portion of the stand and by having the outside slope toward the edge. This is not shown in the draw ing. The roof should also slope from front to rear. Saving Manure Values. On the subject of hauling manure, Professor G'lmore of the New York experiment station, says: “We think, all things considered, it is better to haul the manure directly from the stable to the fields than it is to pile it up for any length of time. If well rotted manure is desired for trucking purposes or for top-dressing for hay lands, then it must be stored, but un der ordinary conditions for this pur pose losses from ?5 to 45 per cent, in the fertilizing value, of manure occur, and if it is not kept reasonably wet and stirred from time to time, exces sive fermentation results, to say noth ing of dry burning and leaching. Losses amounting to 35 to 57 per cent, have been recorded when manure has been exposed to weather. This loss refers mainly to the fertilizing mate rial in the manure. It is still avail able as humus or organic matter when applied to the soil.” To Preserve Potatoes From Rot. Sprinkle lime on the floor of the bin. then lay down potatoes to the depth of five or six inches; then sprinkle lime on the potatoes, repeating the opera tion until all the potatoes are down. About a bushel of lime should be used to 30 bushels of tubers. The flavor of the potatoes will be improved by the lime, besides it will kkill the fungi and save the potato from the rot. To prevent pothto rot in the ground plant hem in the latter part of April or the first week in May, and when they blos som take one part of salt to two parts of plaster, mix well and put about a tablespoon of the mixture on each hill. Close Grazing. Much of the decline in the* stock carrying capacity of pasture lands is due to close grazing. It is against na ture's laws of plant grow th to maintain themselves and produce a healthy growth when cropped too close by the live stock. DDE'S AND Farm Note-s Atuber cane and kaffir corn are good crops for rough forage. Sometimes it is a good plan to leave the stubble to catch the snow. There is nothing that gives a man such safe anchorage in life as a good wife. The sort of seed corn to select is the kind that produces bushels per acre. Onions, unlike potatoes and other root crops, will not keep in a moist cellar. Low ground drained can be culti vated earlier than high ground not drained. Diversified gardening is the safest course for growers supplying local markets. Decaying organic matter in the soil r.dds to its warmth and stimulates plant life. Keep the hoe going in dry weather and you will not need the watering pot often. The wheel hoe will save many a backache and do the work of three hand hoes. Plan your farm to reduce the neces sity of buying additional feed to the lowest point. The long-headed farmer is the one who has bay to sell in the spring. To maintain normal soil fertility the supply of humus must be conserved. A mixed cover crop of nitrogenous and uon-nitregenous plants ir often used to advantage. There are only tvro ways manure can lose in value, namely, by fermen tatlon and by washing. Do not. plant short rows, but let them run the whole length of 'he garden if need be—why not? Lend your crops to your lira ftoch and see what a big interest they wifi pav and hew promptly they pay it JaiFim QF THE % WiitmouE USEFUL LABEL CASE ARTICLE THAT WILL BE APPRE CIATED BY TRAVELER. Directions for Making a Simple Little Case for Holding Luggage Labels —Art Liner May Be Used to Advantage. It is a curious coincidence that lug ;age labels never seem to be at hand when they are required, and for that reason only it is well worth while to make a case for them Jhat may be hung up at some particular spot on the wall in a spare room or box-room, where they may be always found whenever they are wanted, and the case would make a very nice little present. We give, therefore, a sketch of a handy case for this purpose, that may be carried out in art linen, colored for I reference, as it will show- marks less easily. It can be cut out entirely in cne piece, and the two ends folded over so that they form pockets, and then sewn down at the sides. The case should be lined and is bound throug/iout at the edge with narrow ribbon. The two sides should be stiffened with pieces of cardboard sewn in between the cover and the lining. In the center, for the space of about an inch, there should be no cardboard, and this space !s indicated in the left- (3|H hand sketch by “A,” and it is at this point that the two sides of the case f< Id together. At B and B, a loop of silk cord is s< wn, for suspending the case from a r ail in the wall. The right-hand .sketch illustrates the ease closed and hung up. The words “Tie-on" are worked on one pocket and “Adhesive” on the other, while on the front of the case, the words “Luggage Labels” ar” em broidered, and the remaining space tilled up with a small conventional design. A little case of this kind is not only of use at home, but for traveling purposes it will also be found very valuable. A Use for Old Stockings. Save all old stockings, and when you have a number collected, cut off the feet and cut open the legs; stitch four or live legs together according to the size cloth you desire. They make excellent cloths to use around the stove or for oiling or waxing floors. After using these my maids don’t care to use any other kind.— Harper s Bazar. HOW TO CLEAN SILK GOWNS Gin and Water Cure Among the In fallible Remedies for Soiled Silk and Satin. Now that black and dark colored silks are again in fashion It is wise to use our grandmothers’ remedies for cleaning them —in the days when a silk gown was a real possession. Among the infallible remedies for cleaning black satin or silk which they knew of there was the gin and water cure. A sponge dipped in a mixture of this W'as used to remove the shine and clean it thoroughly, the silk being afterwards ironed while still damp. In order to keep woolen dresses and skirts in good condition and freeing them from dust, every woman kept a cat-o’-nine-tails of ingenious manufac ture, with which she flagellated the gowns which were used for Btreet wear. This instrument of torture was made of a short stick, to the end of which narrow strips of leather were attached. With It the material re ceived a thorough beating on cleaning day. An o d-fashioned method of cleaning white k'u gjoves which had lost their first freshn.jss as the result of a ball or a visit to the play, without being absolutely *>Ued. < , onsisted in cleans ing them with white soap. Pure cas tiie soap, procured at drug stores, was merely dipped in water and then rubbed over the finger tips, the gloves having in the first instance been drawn over the hands. The soap, without being wet. clung to the kid. and this was finally rubbe off with a piece of very soft flannel. !

HANDY HOT WATER CAN COSY Useful Article That Can be Made in Spare Moments and at Little Expense. A useful article tc make In spare moments, just at this time of year, Is a cosy for the can of hot water that often finds a place outside a bedroom door. As cans vary so much in size it must in a measure be especially made for the can it is intended for, and should be carried out in a double thickness of blanketing. One of the best types oi cosies for this purpose is shown in the accom- panying sketch, and it Is cut out in four pieces and edged at the seams with a blue and white cord. The let ters contained in the words "hot wa ter,” can be cut out of any thin col ored material and appliqued in their places on the blanketing before the cosy is made up. It should be large enough to tit loosely over the can, and the piece of blanketing which is sewu in fiefv'eet the two side pieces should be a little wider than the width of the can. The handle at the top by which the cosy may be removed merely consists of a small piece of material edged with cord and sewn in position in the manner shown in the sketch; a layer of wadding and a flannel lining will render the cosy so impervious to draughts that it will keep the water hot for some considerable time. These cosies should not be forgot ten when work is being prepared lor bazaars, and when they are intended for that purpose it is a good plan to make them in three or four different sizes, to suit different shaped cans. Black and White Hats. Crowns of white felt with black velvet brims, vice versa, are among the simplest developments in the modiste black and white hats. Num bers of picturesque velvet hats, which would otherwise be sable-hued throughout, &how crown coverings of heavy white lace or brim trimming of the same lace. A typical example of black and white millinery has the high, conical shaped crown of ermine, and this Is welded to the narrow brim of black velvet by a deep band of coarse, very slightly tinted lace, a single erect and particularly handsome black ostrich plume uprising from a coquettish ro sette of velvet. Claret Colored Revers. Another charming costume in the showrooms is of gray diagonal tweed, with a faint red line running through it and collar and cuffs of the genuine old world claret velvet, while there are tall pyramid buttons in carved red and black pebble in different sizes. A beige costume, worked in a thick wool embroidery, is fashioned with a Louis XVI. coat and has lapis lazuli collar and revers and a flottant panel edged with wool fringe, while a rich ottoman costume, with a dainty chit fon corsage to match, is carried out in a lovely cold shade of bluish pur ple. and is heavily trimmed with sil ver fox. I the result being sufficiently satisfac | tory to enable them to be worn once i more without undergoing cleaning • with benzine or other spirit. BRAIDED TOUCH FOR GOWN Ingenious G:rl Produces an Original and Unique Effect in Her After noon Gown. Seeing in the shops the tiny na row bands of folded black satin, with their long silken or heavily beaded assels, used as a neck finish, a cer tain ingenious girl added the touch of originality to her new afternoon i gown by making, to go with it. a tie and girdle of braided folds of black satin. The little tie was of the usual three strand braiding, the sa’in strips be ing very small and carefully blind stitched along the entirp length. It was long enough to go around the neck and hang almost <o the waist, the ends being worked into a clever little “rosette.” with a ie; beaded een ter. Another tiny medallion covered the black metal “snap fastener” which held the tie together at the base of the collar In front. For the girdle slightly wider strips of satin were prepared, and she rubbed up her memory of lessons ta ken in raffia braiding for baskets. The braid, when finished, was more than an inch wide, was fastened at one side under a medallion similar to but larger than the ones used for the tie. and the ends hung nearly to the edge of the dress skirt, being also finished with rosettes, from which hung black silk ♦assels. or dried fronds of real brake fern, or even a more prosaic filling, well mingled with pure powdered orris, will bring unspeakable relief, not only by their associations, but by their own kindly potency. But before such pil lows are selected for presents the preference of prospective recipients in the matter of perfumes should be ascertained, else the gift may be shorn of its magic. An Embroidery Hint. When preparing a piece of linen for Mexican drawnwork, wlich is sure to again be sought out by those who ad mire beautiful needlework, the liner should never be cut with shears, but torn along the weave. This will show whether it will be necessary to wash the material in order to allow of its being pulled Into correct rectangular shape. The best work of this kind is done by pulling about one dozen of the strings out, for by taking out this amount it will not require the close inspection that many of the machine made pieces call for. and thus it will be more effective and clearly will elicit the admiration that the posse* sot will be glad to note. HAVE YOU SUSPECTED YOUR KIDNEYS? There are two ways to tell whether you have weak kidney t. The first is through i,he pains in the back ted other outward signs. The second is fcy examii-ition of the kidney secretions. That is why physicians make such a careful examination when you apply for insurance, and if there is any sign of kid nev trouble you are surely rejected. lvidnev disease is so dangerous that it is a bad mistake to overlook or neglect it, and if pain in the back, recurring head aches, or a fretful, nervous, tired condition makes you suspect some kidnev trouble, take the trouble to watch the kidney secre tions. Look for any of the following signs: More or less than three and one half pints passed daily. Too dark or too pale a color. Passages too freouent, profuse, or much reduced, or scalding and painful. Sandy, gritty or cloudy aettlings. Fat or oily-looking layer which gathers on the surface when allowed to stand, or a jelly-like thickening. Staining of the linen or bad odor. Temporary changes may occur for a time from things eaten, but if the changed ap pearance continues, your kidneys are out of order and need help. Neglect may prove serious.

Compared with the expenditures for tuberculosis work in 1910, those of the past year are practically the same in the aggregate, but they are almost double those of 1909. The National Association for the Study and Preven tion of Tuberculosis, in its third an nual statement, points out, however, what It considers more significant than the aggregate expenditures, namely, that the percentage of money spent for public funds is greater In 1911 than ever before, being 66.2 per cent, of the total. In 1909 only 53.5 per cent of the total expenditures was from public funds, and in 1910 It had increased to 62.6 per cent. In 1911 over $59,600,000 of the $14,500,000 spent was from federal, state, munici pal or county funds. Since the chief work of the anti-tuberculosis associa tions is to urge the public authorities to provide for tuberculosis patients, and thus to assume the responsibility for stamping out this disease, the in creased percentage of public money Is regarded as a very favorable sign of progress. Appropriations of over $10,000,000 for tuberculosis work in 1912 have al ready been made by state legislatures and municipal and county bodies. Of this sum about $4,700,000 Is from state appropriations, and about $5,700,- 000 for county and municipal purposes. In addition to these sums, the federal government spends about $1,000,000 every year, supporting its several spe cial tuberculosis sanatoria. A LEAKAGE THAT CAN BE EASILY STOPPED. How many people who read this article, realize the weighty influence of one little necessity of life—baking powder—on the of living. Yet it is a leakage that can easily be stopped If the housewife will only pey a little more attention to the choice of her baking powder. Some think there Is economy in buying the cheap “Big Can” Baking Powders. These Baking Powders' l ar not always uniform, and sometimes produce failures in the baking, and the result is that more Is lost in one or two spoiled bakings than you spend on bak ing powder in the whole year. The cheap “Big Can” Baking Powders should be avoided. On the other hand, many housewives feel that a baking powder is of no value unless they pay 50 cents a pound foi it— tlie price charged for the high priced “Trust” brands. This is a mistake, as the best baking powder that can be made can be sold for 25c. per pound if the man ufacturer is satisfied with a reasonable profit. There is one brand on the market that meets these requirements. It is CALUMET BAKING POWDER, reeom mended by leading physicians and chem ists: used in millions of homes: and given the Highest Award at the World's Pure Food Exposition. Millions for Anti-Tuberculosis Work. Money to the amount, of over $14.- 600,000 was spent in anti-tubercnlosis work during the year 1911, according to the third annual statement of ex penditures In the war against con sumption Issued by the National Asso ciation for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. The statement is based largely on reports received from anti-tuberculosis agencies In all parts of the United States. By far the largest item of expense was that for treatment in sanatoria and hospitals, and for the erection of institutions of this kind, over $ 11,800,- 000 being spent for this purpose alone. Dispensaries for the examination and treatment of tuberculosis spent $850,- 000, and associations and committees in their educational campaign against tuberculosis spent $500,000. The re maining $1,300,000 was spent for treatment in open-air schools, prisons and hospitals for the insane, and also for the work of state and local boards of health against tuberculosis.

The following case is typical of the cure* effected by Doan's Kidney Pills. Grateful testimony is th best evidence. IN BED FIVE MONTHS. Cured After Doctors Gave Up Hopes J. L. Richardson, Red Key, Indiana, says: “A wrong diagnosis of my ease caused me six months of terrible pain. When I had been in bed helpless for three months I was a mere hag of bones. The trouble began with pain in the back, and after a few weeks of it my nerves gave wav completely and my eyes got bad. I had frequent dizzy spells, felt tired always, and never seemed to get enough sleep. 1 almost went crazy. The action of the kid neys kept getting worse, and the urine harder to pass. Twenty-four hours would go by without a passage. The doctors be gan to take the water from me with a catheter. They did this once a day for fifty days. On Christmas Day, five years ago, my doctor told me that my time was about up. I lived through the day and night, contrary' to expectations, and the next day a friend gave me a box of Doan's Kidney Pills. I used it and was encour aged to continue. When I had taken five boxes I got out of bed. 1 kept on until entirely well, and from that day to this— five years--! have never had a twinge in my back.” I VPI i] I p 1 The Farmer’s Son’s Great Opportunity Why wait for the old farm to broom* jour in hert lancet Brglnnowto I prepare for your future liroMH-rnr and lndopen. s-aWaigfJtf-jri’H—tJwlo- A grout upper- Itunitv awaits you In ■ 'Wlj fJ I Manitoba,Saskatchewan l or Alberta, where you il 1 , 1 call secure a Freelloine -8 Blw A Istcndorutty ltuidatrea % I nf^^sonabie prices.
