THE PENNIES N THE BOX. I'm Undo Sam's most . favored pet I'm hearty and I'm hale; I've nothing in this world to do But glide 'round with the mail; But one tiling almost 'breaks my heart, And my nervous system shocks; It's tho everlasting pennies That I'm lishiug from tho box. I carry stamps and envelopes, And postal cards and such; And I would like to sell a few 'Twould please me very much; But a man can't sell unless you buy, No matter how he talks; So I have to keep on diving After the pennies in the box. It's all right in the springtime, Or when summer breezes blow; But a different proposition When it's thirty-two below; ; When all your lingers and your toes Are frozen hard as rocks, It's most anything but funny Scratching pennies from the box. And now. quite confidentally, I'll tell you something more; A rural carrier (way out west) ' Forgot himself and swore; Says he, "I can stand the snow drift; I can stand the frozen locks, But blast the mcapley pennies In the blasted mcasley box." When "the roll is called up younder" And we all shall gather there, They wouldn't let a mail man in If they knew he'd learned to swear. If you want St. Peter to open the gate Buv stamps and don't be guilty Of putting pennies in the box. Wit and Wisdom. They always talk who never think. Too much is worse than want. Commend often.

GARDEN, FARM and CROPS! p3 it FOR THE UP-TO-DATE GfllOOLTO ions fmm Tobacco For t-rorses. A horseman says he has cured horses and colts of worms by pulverizing' to bacco leaves with his hands and plac ing a small quantity in, each feed of shelled oats for a few days. He says the worms will be expelled without any ill effects to either the horse or colt. Colts will soon learn to like the tobacco and eat it freely. He says that many a celt that is now kept poor and scrawny by the worms, if given pulverized tobacco leaves in this man ner, will soon begin to thrive and take on flesh. Epitomist. Poultry For Market. When scalding poultry for market, it is best to first dry pick the legs, so that they will not necessarily be placed in the' water and change color. Neither the heads nor the feet should touch the water. The water ought to be as near the boiling point as possible, without boiling. Tho way to "plump" a dresred fowl is to dip it for ten seconds in water nearly or quite foiling hot, and then immediately in cold water. Hang in a cool place until the animal heat is en tirely out. Plumping gives the fowl a much more attractive aupearance. A duck is not fully matured until it is about two and a half years old. American Cultivator.

Dow, a poultry expert of Maine, says on the subject of food: "One of the most common of the va rious wise sayings of some poultry teachers is that the first feed to the newly hatched chicks should be grit in the form of fine sand or some similar substance; but this advice is always qualified by the caution not to mix I the grit with the food, as to do so means sickness and loss by bowel trouble. If grit cannot he safely mixed with the food and fed, even in small quantities, why feed it at all? We feed the hens grit by keeping a supp'y where they can help nemselves. At the same time it works no' injury to the mature fowls if the grit is mixed with the mash, provided it is not used in excess: but since it is net possible to tell what the hen needs to reTiilat'i digestion it is wise to let her help her: self. The gizzard of the chik is free from sand or grit, and should remnin free until old enough to tearin to grind its own food. That is. usually at the age of ten days. Befce that thev should be fed on food which can be digested without the aid of grit." Constipation causes and seriously aggra yates many diseases. It is thoroughly cuied by Dr. Pierce s Pellets.

Women who suffer with backache, bearing down pain, dizziness and that constant dull, tired feeling, will find comfort in the advice of Mrs James T. Wright, cf 519 Goldsborough St.,Eas ton, Md., who ays: "My back was in a very tiad way, and 'fn not painful wa- So fc2W3 weak it felt as if bro- I vv' me to try uoan s -,, ., Kidney Pills, wlrirm i did, and they helped me from the start.

The Connecticut station sugests that accounts be kept with cows to tee whether they ate profitable boarders, or not, crediting each cow with all the milk given by it, put at the local mar ket price for milk. Measure the milk by weight, reduce this to quaita by dividing by 2.15 and then multiply by the price per quart. Credit her with $2 for the value of tho calf and $10 for the value of the manure. This will make the total credits, except the p ofit you make in selling her, the feed you have raised on the farm, as shown by the difference between its actual cost and the market prica. Charge 'the cow with the cost of feed at market rates and the following f.xea charges: Bed ding for one year $2, service cf bull $1, labor $27, interest on investment $G. taxes GO cents, insurance 41 f"'. depreciation ?8. Total $43. In flgir ing the interest on investment the cow is given a value of $00 and her share of the value of the tan, too:? and other equipment is rlaced rt the game figure. Five percent cn $120 is $G. In figuring the labcr item, it is estimated that cne man, receiving a salary of $45 per month, could do all the necessary work in the ca- e of twen ty cows and the marketing of their product. This would make the labor item $27 per cow. Weekly Witr.e:s. 'trftr pttnif I Remember the name; Doan's. by all dealer?. 5 0 cents a box. ter-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y.

A Canadian feeder of large experi ence, has this to say on silo ccntt. mo tion in one of oar Cmadim exchanges: Do not on any consideration build a square or oblcng silo. The wal's of such a silo are not strong enough t stand the pressure caiued by ti e great weight Gf the silage; end the amount of dlao lost in the corners wil! amount, in a few years, to a consider able value. The bast chape is circu lar. A si!:) should he mere than t vi-e as high as it is w.'de. 'Do net bv.ihl a siio too largo in diari?t?r as t'.ie amount of silage spoiled iron clay to day will more than pay ti e interest on the ocst of an extra mailer cr.e. The main cHi-h'ties o! a s'li c,ic tliit the walls fhall lo s trenn ci;o':rh to w.'th stand the prcrsr.ro end it fha'l hi tight. To pet. thin, the iv:t rlt) :'s t built a go:;.l solid lovridaii;:, ccm meuced he low the fort I.'r.?. Perhaps the simp'c c and crsia't style of silo to be built is th? tt?.ve silo. It should be made from two inch narrow plank p:oprIy beveled, aid held together by strong ircn bnd-. The staves, after bevelling so that when fitted together they will fcrm a circle of the desired size, are p!ad on end, on a solid foundation and prar erly fitted. These ate strengthened find held in place by strong iron hoops which are so made that they may be tightened cr loosened at will. Doors should be built at intervals from the top to the bottom to that the silage may easily be got out. It is not. neces sary to put a roof on this silo, but t Is much to be preferred. This style of the silo should be kept well painted, both inside and out. If properly built and taken care of a stave silo is dur able, rigid and air-tight. Arsenate As Insecticide. Many gardeners and fruitmen advise the use cf paris green in connection with Bordeaux for trees, potatoes, etc. After using paris green and also arse nate of lead in conjunction with Bor deaux some have found that it was very difficult to get just the right amount of paris green, as a little too much will kill the foliare and only a slight amount less will fail to kill the bugs. With arsenate of lead one dees not seem to damage the foliage, how over much is used, and it sticks bet ter to the leaves. Both cf these poisons are excellent Insecticides, each possessing certain advantages. Faris green is cheaper, as far as poisoning qualities are concern ed, and is also more rapid in action than the arsenate of lead, and hence is preferable where hordes of insects are inflicting great daily losses. Ex perts generally advise the use of paris green wherever immediate results are desired, and when Bordeaux mixture is used with this poison there is a good chance of its remaining on the foliage for a little while at least. On the other hand, arsenate of lead though slewed in action and more cost ly, is very adhesive and is specially useful wherever it i3 ciesired to protect the fol'age from leaf feeders during a considerable time, and particularly where there is no pressing need of im mediate results. Furthermore. rrsen ate of lead cm be us3d in almost un limited quantities without injury to tin foliage", something which is net true of paIs green. Some advocates cf arsenate! of lead advise its tse in very large quantities where immediate results mr-ft be obtained" nnd t:b wisdom of follcin3, thin course rmrt he dete-minod largely by loeil coi tions since the cost is considerably greater. Pome grmvprs of notaf'-es have ex perienced difficulty in killing pctati beetles with arsenate cf lead applied with certain horse sprayers. This trouble is due to the fact that certain machines make a small amount, of water po a great wav, and. as a con seonence. unless the noisen is very con centrated form there will not be a s-'iPcient quantity on the foliage. It is simrdy a oiwstion of adjusting to conditions whe'her- one or the other is employed. Both harp thpir advo cates and both ae exf,e?d,'nn,ly useful vhpn properly applied. Indianapolis News.
