"Oh, Tom," cried Kathryn Hill as
ahe unceremoniously entered Tom
Cate's studio with the air of one al
ways certain of a welcome, "I've found

.."Merciful heavens. Kit!" exclaimed
Tom In mock horror, "pome up early
next Sunday morning and bring the

see I am terribly busy this morning?'
"Pot boiler, isn't It?" she asked as
she glanced carelessly at the sketch,
and as Tom nodded, his mouth being
occupied with various drawing Imple
ments, she continued lightly: "Oh,
bother! Let it wait, Tommo, and listen
to me.'
"No, Kitty, dear," he made answer
solemnly. "It Is an unhappy fact that
a poor artist's masterpiece may wait
Indefinitely, while his pot boilers must
be finished at a specified time: but
you may talk to me just the same,
only, please, please do not leave any
more such words lying around loose
for me to become entangled In."

of horror and a wave of his unoccupied
arm.
"That little word, Tommo, dear, is

her story of 'A Surgeon's Love.' Qua
Burleigh spoke In such praises of her

use of that word, that I became a tiny,

"Gus Burleigh!" sneered Tom. "What
does he"
"I have the floor, Blr," Interposed
Kitty. "You're out of order. Allow
me to continue. If you please. I have
a story mapped out that will positive
ly put hers to shame."
"Make it look like thlr"-
"Hush, Tommo, don't use that dread
ful slang phrase. v I shall call my story
'The Dentist's Daughter,' and the new
word I have just learned and Intend to
use Is 'methylbenzolnethoxyetheylte-
trahydropyrldlnecarboxylate!' Now,
Isn't that a-a"-
"Corker!" ejaculated Tom.
. "Well, yes, It 1b all that," admitted
Kitty, "and don't you think Qua will
consider me marvelously learned when
he sees that?1
"If he ever tries to pronounce it, you
will be obliged to come out in black for
the poor boy, but does it er mean
anything In particular?"
.Certainly It does, goosre! It Is
chemical for cocaine."
Tom worked in silence a few mo
menta before he said:
"Er Kit. I suppose our long stand

will soon be a thing of the past, en r
"Not necessarily, Tommo, dear. I'm
sure Ous will be sensible," was her so
ber reDlv.
"It will be an Innovation for him,
then," Tom could not refrain from say-
tner with ill concealed savageries.
."May I inquire when the momentous
event will take place?'
' "If you think you should know, I
have nromised to give him a definite

A Blek, Bard last..
Few persons are aware that the Chi
nese language is dependent on intona
tion for Its meaning and that a slight
difference in sound may so distort a
person's meaning that a courteous salu
tation may be turned into a cause for
regret
A young woman In San Francisco,
who had become interested in the Chi
nese there, went to one of the men
who owned a paper in which be wrote
both Chinese and English editorials,
and asked him to teach her some
phrases. When told that the language
consisted of something like a small
library or two of reference books, she
waa about ready to back out How
ever, being anxious to learn even a few
things about the mysterious people, she
undertook a lesson or two.
The young lady being apt at learn
ing new things, thought she was better
posted than she was and, meeting the
teacher on the street one afternoon, put
her newly acquired Information to the
test
It was with unusual confidence that
she bade him "good afternoon" In a
blithe voice and waa stepping down
from the curb to cross the street
"Wait" said the editor. "I cannot
let you go, Miss C, without explaining.
You think you said a good day to me,
but instead you have called me a very

anxious and continually fuss and turn
their egga and break, them In their ef
forts to do well, no matter what kind
of nest they have. The Incubator ia
not subject to this falling, but stays
quietly in its place, and no broken eggs
or crushed chicks are found. The best
incubators require but five or ten min
utes' attention dally and cau be kept
in a room of the dwelling or outahed
near by and can be looked after very
easily, while a sitting ben Is such a
disagreeable thing that ahe Is best kept
at a distance. The Incubator has an
other strong point in its favor from the
fact that It Is willing to sit when
wanted, and thla Is a matter of no email
note, as the chick that Is ready for
sale when broiler prices are highest la
the money-maker of the market chick
ens, while the early pullet Is the win
ter egg producer and price taker at the
fair in the fall.
Of a certainty If you use Incubators
as hatchers you must use brooders as
mothers, and thla leaves the hens en
tirely free to do their best Instead of
running and eating with chicks and
laying up fat which ought to go to

it
Pays to aeed to Market In Geo
Coadltloa riret Clasa Birds,
But few have any conception of tbe
number of fowla consumed In a large
city during Thanksgiving and Christ
mas weeka. For Thanksgiving week
there were sold In New York city over
325,000 turkeys. In former years there
has been sold a fourth more than thla,
and aa many aa 425,000 have been sold
In one week, according to tbe New
York Herald. Thla season turkeys have
been scarce, not well finished and high
In price. Thla la the explanation for
the falling off In sales. Last year tur
keys sold at from 4 to S cents per
pound lower In price than thla yean,
The same la true of chickens, ducks
and geese, and even guinea fowla aell
higher than ever before. All this should
prove of advantage to the grower.
The day baa about gone by for low
prices for poultry and eggs. All that
Is needed now is for ua to have good
quality In our poultry and egga for
market and they will aell well. Now
Is the time to begin to plan for having
better than ever before. Pull away
from old time methods of poor quality
market poultry and work to have tbe
very best For example, turkeys sold
In tbe New York market all tbe way
from 16 cents per pound to 29 and 80
cents per pound. Now, It did not cost
one cent more per pound to grow the
higher priced ones than the cheaper
ones. It Is simply a question of care
and feeding. Those who feed properly
and well nave the' finer quality and
the greater else or weight while those
who do not feed properly and wen
have the lesser weight and tbe lower
price. Quality controls tbe market to
a greater extent than la generally sup
posed.
It ia all very well to allow the grow
ing turkeya to bunt for boga and grass
hoppers so long aa they are plentiful,
but ao soon aa thla kind of food dwin
dles we muat supply its place wttb oth
er food aa good, for two reasons to
give them a full food supply and to
prevent them from walking tbe flesh
from their bodies going about In an
aim leas way In search of food they
will not find. Juat aa soon aa tbe cool
or cold nights begin to lessen the sup
ply of wild food of all klnda then wa
muat feed tbe stronger. Alwsya see
to it that they have all tbe good, whole
some food they will eat at all times.
That ia the war to arrow turkeya. If
there are not plenty of bugs, worms.

Fungous diseases are caused by tbe
growth of one plant upon another. The
fundamental principle In the treatment
of fungous diseases is to prevent the in
fection of the host plant by the spores
of fungi. The moat practical way of
doing thla la to apply to the plant to be
protected some substance that will kill
the spores before or Immediately after
they germinate without Injuring the
host plant. Such a substance is called a
fungicide. Tbe method of application la
usually by spraying.
Copper sulphate (common nfcmes,
blue vitriol, blueetono) ia the moat gen
erally used fungicidal substance. It Is
used both in a simple solution and as
the basis of bordeaux mixture. The
araATnro potatoxs.
simple solution of blue vitriol when
applied to leavea or other green parts
of plants will cause "burning." The
addition of lime to the solution will
prevent this Injury. This combination
Is called bordeaux mixture.
The following hi a good formula for
the bordeaux mixture: Blue vitriol, 5
pounds; lime (frean), 6 pounds; water,
00 gallona.
Dissolve the vitriol In water (hot wa
ter will do It more rapidly), slack the
lime, dilute each with aa much water
aa can be dono conveniently, tbe more
tbe better; then mix .and stir thor
oughly.
If a little yellow prussiate of potash
la dissolved In water and a few drops
added to the bordeaux mixture no
change will be noted beyond perhapa a
alight yellow color If enough lime has
been used. If, however, too little baa
been used a brown color will appear,
and more lime muat be added. A small
excess of lime will do no barm.

One of the striking feature of many
of the, recent arcounta and advertise

statement of the enormous yields pearl
millet commonly produce. Yielda
from 75 to 100 tons of green forage per
acre are said to be quite the ordinary

ceed in productivenea tbe ordinary

succulent soiling crops it ia probably
exceeded only by teoalnte In tbe num
