TAKE NpTE OF HEART BEATS
When That Organ Baya "Luff-Duff" II
la Full Time to Taka a
Vacation.
Do ytm know what a factor hears
when ha sounds yomr cheat and listens
to your heart beating T
Tour heart. If It la quite aound,
makes a noise very like "lub-dup, lub
dup, lub-dup" all the time, Pearson's
Weekly says. The two sylylables come
very quickly together and between
each "lub-dup" there comes a pause,
the short period when the heart la
resting, as It were.
The "lub" sound Is due to the blood
flowing out of the heart and the "dup"
Is the closing of the heart'a valves.
. Juat by the loudness of these two sylla
bles the doctor knows If your heart is
working as It should be.
Supposing the "dup" Is very loud,
for Instance; that tells him that the
valves are being "slammed to," just
as a door la, and that the pressure Is*
greater than it should be. The cause
of thla la generally what is known as
an "aneurism."
If the valvea are not ckielng prop
erly the doctor hears a sound like
"duff" Instead of "dup." The heart la
then said to have a "murmur," and
the phyal*lan knows what steps to
take to correct it.
When the first sound, "lub," Is soft
ened Into "luff" It warna the doctor
that his patient haa something wrong
with the mitral valve. The "lub" sound
Is always vary much weaker when
one Is suffering from fever, and It la
thla weakness, dpe to the weakness of
the heart muscles, which makes the
doctor so anxious at those times.
When the heart says "luff-duff" he
tells you to knock off work for a time
and have a complete rest, for your
heart is In a bad way.
LIKE SO MUCH "DEAD HORSE"
Man Who Paid Debt With Check Will
Die In the Belief That He Haa
Settled Twice.
A man made a bet with his wife—
which was Indiscreet
The wife won—which was foreor
dained.
The man wrote the wife a check for
$5 in payment of the bet —which was
sad.
The wife cashed the check at the
grocery, but forgot to endorse It—
which was natural.
The grocer, despite the lack of en
dorsement, paid it to a packing house
collector —which was carelesfe.
The packing house collector turned
It In—which was all In a day's work.
A packing house offlce man discov
ered the lack of endorsement —which
was good work.
He handed it back to the driver and
docked the driver's salary—whloh was
system.
The driver placed the check la hie
white dock coat and sent It to the
laundry—which was unwise.
The laundry mutilated the check be
yond recognition—which was unwise.
Which is why the driver asked the
cashier to ask the grocer to ask the
man's wife to ask her husband to
write a duplicate check. Is
why the man feels like he la paying
twice.
Animal Training.
Most people have heard of the cele
brated calculating horses of Blberfeid,
who can do anything up to calculating
square roots, In addition to being pro
ficient at spelling. It would now ap

that althdugh these feaU are actually
performed they are dne to a very
clever device. An animal trainer has
Informed the Hatln that he haa util
ized a system of wireless telegraphy
for training animals to do all aorta of
tricks. The receiver Is placed on the
horse's bridle, while the trainer or an
•aslstant m&lnlpulates the transmit
ter, and by a code of slgnala, which
are not dllllcnlt to teach, the anlmala
can be made to give any desired "an
swer." It la suggested that this sys
tem la used In the caae ot the cele
brated Blberfeid horeee. Prior to the
utilisation of wireless telegraphy, the
trainer mentioned employed a method
of signals by means of a toothpick.

MANY USES FOR LEMON PEEL
Among Others, It le Miles Above the
Flavoring Extract by
So Many Cooks.
Not every housekeeper knows that
freshly grated lemon peel Is a,flavor
ing much superior to lemon extract,
and much more economical. Of all
the flavoring extracts lemon la the
least satisfactory, having not the
slightest suggestion - of the flavor of
the fresh fruit. For cake or for a
bread pudding or for any dessert con
taining raisins and currants lemon
peel Is a delicious flavor. If It la used
for a custard, It Is well to strain the
mixture before cooking, as some peo
ple dislike the slight granulation pro
duced by the tiny plecea of peel.
An unusual but very good use for
grated lemon peel is as a flavoring
for sandwiches made of Neufchatel
cheese. Rub the cheese to a paste
with a little butter and a spoonful of
cream, add the lemon peel and a few
chopped nut meats.
Lemon peel makes a delicious pre

FRUIT GROWERS AND POULTRY PROFITABLE
1
A Well-Kept Orchard. ——.
Poultry farming and fruit culture
la attractive in some ways, but its
actual advantagea are not aa great aa
many suppose, as each business re
quires practical experience. Bo far as
the fruit crop la concerned, the sys
tem is essentially that of pasturing
the orchard in graas with hens In
place of sheep or hogs. Cattle and
horses should not be pastured In or
chards, as the tramping of the stock
compacts the sod too much. A pas
ture system of any kind is generally
considered not equal to orchard culti
vation with green crops plowed un
der.
There Is a great difference of opin
ion on thla point. Many experienced
orchardlsts say that the proper meth
od to follow is to grow hoed crops
in the orchard when trees are young,
having the ground well fertilized each
year, and as soon as the treea come
Into full bearing seed down to grass
and clover and pasture with sheep or
plgt. Sheep should be chosen, as
they are not destructive, and If grain
fed will keep the ground In good con
dition. Apples, peaches, plums and
damsons grow by this system, the
trees carefully pruned, sprayed In sea
son and "wormed spring and fall, will
bear abundantly most every season.
MULE FOR HEAVY FARM WORK
Animal No More Vicious Than Horse
If Properly Trained When Young
—Lives Longer.
The mule Is an animal that is looked
upon with disfavor by a great many,
but as a matter of fact a span of mules
Is about the most valuable thing that
can be found on a farm. They have
greater endurance than horses, afe
easily kept and can be worked under
conditions that are sometimes Impos
sible with horses.
During the summer, when the (lies
are swarming and the heat of the sun
Is oppressive, the farmer Is frequently
delayed with his work by the Inability
of the horses to stand heat, while a
, Excellent Type of Mule.
■pan of mule* may be kept patiently
plodding away without the die* or
the heat worrying them In the least.
It la during such a time aa thla that
the mule* will ahow their real worth,
■ay* a writer In the Farm Progress.
A mule will grow slstk and (at upon
lew feed than a hone. Of cruras a
little better ration ahould be fed, for
It li hardly right to underfeed any
animal.
1 believe that poor training by his
master has given the mule his repu
tation for vlclousness. A mule's tem
perament Is such that be resents any
mistreatment more readily than a
horse. If the trainer uses good Judg
ment an 4 proper treatment with the
mule while it la young, there Is no
cause for Its developing any bad hab
its. Msny mules are as gentle and
safe aa any horse.
The mule Is noted for Its long ltfs.
It is a rarity to se* a mule that has
died from a natural cause. His consti
tution Is so strong and vigorous as to
be almost proof against many .dis
eases The average length of llffi of
the mule is almost double that of the
horse. .
The mule Is especially desirable fo/
the farmer who has rough or billy
land to till, as he la more sure-footed
than n horse and can be worked upon
ground where It would be dlfllcult to
tnke a horse.
Insure Good Currants.
Bmall fruit Is not always chargsabls
to a poor variety, but is somstlmss
due to gpor culture and no pruning.
Currants are borne largely on wood
three or four years old. Older wood
should be pruned out and enough
young wood also to prevent crowding
This may bs done esrly in the spring
or In the autamn. Cultivate and add
barnyard manure to the plants occa
sionally.

southern Rhode Island, have become

who will give it the requisite thought

PROTECT MANURE FROM RAIN
It Also Should Be Kapt Moist BNIUH
Much Plant la Loot When Al
lowed to Become Dry.
The following answer waa mad* by
Dr. O. S. Praps, state chemist at the
Texas college station, to an Inquiry
concerning the collection and preser
vation of manure:
- The manure should be kept In •
sbed and protected from the rain and
as compact aa possible. It also should
be kept moist. If It dries out there
Is a loss of plant food. There will
be a loaa anyhow 1/ the manure Is
kspt for one year, but the best thing
I can suggest Is to keep It as I bare
suggested above. The manure will
be worth about ft per ton, and it de
pends on the cost of gathering wheth
er It will pay to save It A better
way where a dairy Is maintained la
to provide a large lot for the cows to
run in and grow a crop In that lot
•very alternate year. Much more of
the fertiliser value may be gained In
this way. The use of preservatives
on manure la too expensive for the
returns it pays.
Farrowing Sows.
Reduce tbe feed of the sows for •
short time before farrowing, and give
them a thin slop for the flrst two or
three feeds sfter farrowing. Increase
the feed as the pigs get older, and tbe
soars need It.
Chickens and an orchard are la
good company.
Weeda cut down in their youth

MUCH ADVERTISING WASTED
Many Benefits and Advantage*' In
Good Ads—Actual Art In Clever
Waya of Publicity.
The advantages of right advertising
la emphasised by an article In a cur
rent magazine, which dlscuaaea the
extravagance of wrong advertising. A
email family, living In a mod eat way,
received In one day for example, cir
cular lettere, done on expensive paper
and with gold or sliver etamplng, an
nouncing such things aa a new hotel.
In a distant city, a mark down on
aome Paquln gowns worth hundreda
of dollars, a tailor's card with colored
cuts ahowlng "refined garmenta for
gentlemen" at a high figure, cards for
a society vaudeville entertainment,
aamples of laundry wax, tickets for a
fair somewhere for an Institution they
had never heard of, and other things.
The contention la that all thla adver
tising waa waste so far aa that family
was concerned, and doubtleaa with
regard to a large proportion of the
families who received the circulars.
Then there ia another wasteful form
of advertising whereby handbliia are
cramed Into mall boxea, sometimes
half a dosen dupllcatea. These are
rarely glanced at by the house owner.
They aerie aa a leaaon in patience,
but nothing more.
Advertlaing then haa tta art, and
auitablllty and the fltnesa of time and
place are both to be conaldered. Ad
vertising rightly done brings to busy
people Information of articles they
might otherwise have to shop for at
loss of much time. Advertising that
gives the prices and quality of thlnga
likely to come within the acope of
the average family la of great ad
vantage. Purchasers are enabled to
compare prices, to find out atandard
values, In things they know they real
ly need; "and they learn In this way
of new things which make the round
of every day easier or pleaaanter.
It has lately been said In defenae
ol the custom of advertlaing in a
newspaper that people often buy the
newspaper for the sake of the adver
tisements, especially' when they
know that the paper dlscrtmlnatea
in Ita acceptance of advertlaements.
The newspaper In thla way bringa
the ahops to the door of the pur
chaser. One'a favorite purveyor for
the table of the house or the wardrobe
may thua communicate every day If
be will Juat what be haa to oiler.
Every sensible shopper knows that
to go down town with a handful of
allpa cut from the newspaper as a
shopping guide for that day or week
saves an enormous outlay of time. Is
not this the real use of advertlaing?
If all purchaaers availed themselves
of this method the expenaes of the
shope might be considerably reduced.
FIRST ASTOR AN ADVERTISER
One of Hla Announcements Appeared
In the New York Gazette 100
Years Ago.
That tin first John Jacob Aitor
wu an advertiser la not generally
known. An advertliement of hti ap
peared In the New York Oazntte 100

"To let, for one or more year*, a
pleasant iltuatlon and an excellent
■land for dry good* itore, the corner
house of Vesey •trect and Ilroadway.
Inquire for particular* of John Jacob
Astor, corner of Pearl and Pine
streets."
The house advertised by Mr. Astor
was one of Ave which occupied the
Broadway front now covered by tbo
Astor house, built In 1836. Before
the Revolution It was the home of
John Rutherford.
Advertising Without Waste.
An advertiser who has been making
dally use of newspaper space for a
great many years Bays In an article in
an advertisers' msgatlne that only
one or two per cent, of the readers of
the papers he u*es can poaclbly be In
teres ted in the commodity he sells.
And yet be find* that the advertlilng
pay*. There are comparatively few
lines of builneu In which *o small
a proportion of newspaper reader* can
be Interested. The retailer of article*
of clothing and everyday uae, for In
stance, can count upon Interesting 9ft
per cent, of all the readers of the
newspaper. If an advertiser to whom
newspaper advertising I* II per cent,
waste can still make It psy, there
la hardly a chance for failure In the
ease of the advertiser the character
of whose business reducee the element
at waste to an absolutely negligible
quantity. The larger th| number of
poealble consumers of a given product,
the grantor the nscssslty for exploit
lag It vigorously In the newspapers,
which are read by everybody.
Diverts Minds of People.
To advertise In to advert or turn
towards, and advertising Is sasontlsily
the great force for taming the minds
of men and women toward a given

HUMBLE "BIDDY" BEST
IN THE END, MORE PROFITABLE
THAN THE OSTRICH.
Figures Would Baem to Show That
l Bird of Prized Plumage Is Prima
Invaatment, but There Are
i Drawbacks.
No. she is not one of the SIO,OOO
biddies we sometimes read about, espe
cially when it cornea to laying eggs.
She is any one of the several thou
sand ostrich hens that may now be
found in some of our western states.
You can figure It out for yourself. An
ortrlch hen, a "good" one, will lay
about 100 eggs a year, and each egg
contains aa much food-material aa 30
ordinary hen's eggs. That gives the
ostrich credit for furnishing egg-food
amounting to 8,000 hen's eggs per
year.
But let's not all go into the ostrich
bualness. There are aeveral draw
backs. One of them is that It costs
twenty dollars a year to keep an
ostrich, or thereabouts, and they do
not begin to lay until they are four
years old. Tben there Is the first cost
—no little item, as slx-montbs-old
chicks ar« r worth SIOO each, while
blrda old enough to begin laying cost
SBOO a pair. Rather, they are held to
be worth that, aa the oatrlch breeders
will seldom sell a bird at any price.
There Is also the inconvenience of
handling. Tho kick of an ostrlch#ill
discount any exercise of a mule's hind
legs about 100 per cent, and they are
said to be far from sweet-tempered,
especially during the plucking season.
Being eight feet tall, an ostrich tbst
got really out of patience at a person
would be rather more difficult to
handle than a "mad" sitting hen, and
most of us And the latter lady all we
want to tackle. On the whole, per
haps we would be wiser to stick to the
barnyard biddy for ordinary purposes,
tbough the beauty of the aristocratic
Mr. Ostrich should prove a great temp
tation to desert our first love.
Tben, too, the Lady of tho Plumes
is. If the truth were told, rather lazy.
She does not even lay her eggs In
the nest her mate has carefully pre
pared for her half the time. She
leaves them scattered about Just as It
bappena, and her patient consort has
to roll them Into tho nest himself.
Then, too, he gets fnost of the sitting
to do, as his proud wife refuses to do
nost duty except for a little whlls In
the daytime.
Often incubators are used for
hatching the ostrich chicks, and tben
there need bo no family iiuarrels on
the subject. The Incubators used must
be peculiar In construction, as one of
the eggs Is Ave Inches long. Machines
holding about fifty eggs are generally
employed.
Hsns as Barometers.
A poultry raiser In Rohemla ha* pro
duced curious results by altering and
alternating the food given to his
flocks.
It Is known to many who have
raised canaries for the market that
Cayenne pepper put into their food
rosulta in a notable difference In tho
character and shade of their plumage,
giving the feathers a smoothness snd
reddish tinge which adds very much
to the sum for which the birds may
ordinarily bo sold. If the same In
gredient be added to tbe diet, especial
ly of white hens which have been
batched from carefully selected eggs,
their foathers become palo rose, and
they flush to a brilliant red when tho
weather Is damp and a storm Is ap
proaching. These hens thus become
veritable barometers, und the progres
sion of color from pale to brilliant Is
so exact that a scarlet hen stalking
about the barnyard Is reglVdod as cer
-1 tain propheey of a storm which may
be as much as twelve hours distant—
