ADVICE TO WOULD-BE BELLES. Two Important Point Which Should Never Be Forgotten. "Yes, my dear, one could lay down rulea for the charming of the- other sex," said an old but very successful belle to a debutante who in spite of a beautiful face is, it must be admitted, a failure as far as popularity goes. (Ardent adorers she has, but of temperate tem-perate admirers and men friends she has none.) "One could lay down rules, one hundred and three of them, all good rules, too. But there are two that I'd remember if I were you, and you can afford to let the others take care of themselves. The first is when talking to a man never 'run down' another an-other woman. The second and even if you forget the first, please remember remem-ber the second is never praise another anoth-er man!" Mary Proctor, who writes of "Five Hundred Little Worlds" in the August St. Nicholas, is a daughter of the great Proctor, the astronomer, and is living at present in New York City.

A few years ago when Czar Alexander Alexan-der III. was alive, and his family Included In-cluded three sons, it almost seemed beyonda doubt that the succession to the throne was secured to his descendants, descend-ants, and that it could hardly pass to his brother or nephew. However, the eldest son, now reigning as Nicholas II., though married, is the father ol daughters only; the second son Is dead,, and the third son, now twenty-five twenty-five years of age, is unmarried and apparently content to remain so. Depopulation of France. To give some idea of the rate at which the depopulation of France is proceeding, the population of Normandy Norman-dy alone fell oft 7.5C0 during the year 1900. Chicago Has New Dairy Laws. The Chicago city council has Just passed some new and stringent laws relating to the milk traffic. There has been for a long tim much complaint com-plaint of the very loose way In which j milk was bought and sold In that city. Its handling was often conducted conduct-ed under conditions that were likely to make milk a conveyor of disease. Moreover, In some of the poorer localities lo-calities the milk sold for whole milk was both skimmed and watered. In many cases it was so nearly sour that its use for children's food resulted In much sickness and some mortality. The new laws create a milk and food department In the board of health. One of the most startling Innovations In-novations is the rule that all cans containing 6kim milk shall be painted paint-ed bright red. This Is because the sale of skim milk has been largely conducted under the pretense of selling sell-ing whole milk. It is not desired to prevent the sale of skim milk, but only to prevent its sale as unskimmed milk. The cleanliness of cans and other milk-holding utensils is to be rigidly enforced. Mixtures of any two or more of the following articles is prohibited: Whole milk, skimmed milk, cream, condensed milk and buttermilk. Cans containing any one of the foregoing are required to be labeled in three-inch three-inch letters. The caps of bottles are similarly required to be stamped. The test provided for milk is 3 per cent butter fat and 9 per cent other solids, a total of 12 per cent solids. For eream the minimum fat must be 15 per cent. No skim milk can be sold If it contains less than 8.5 per cent of solids, Including butter fat. Watered milk, adulterated milk and impure milk will not be permitted to be sold at all, nor can the milk be sold from cows diseased or kept in a filthy condition con-dition or fed on slops or refuse. Any attempt to sell such milk will result in a fine of from $5 to $200. Impure or condemned milk must be destroyed. des-troyed. Cow stables must be washed daily and diseased animals must be kept away from the well ones. Refuse matter must not henceforth be stored In - dairies. As a notice that the laws adopted Monday last are to be enforced, the milk inspectors on" Tuesday seized twelve cans of watered milk and poured their contents into the gutter. The men that sent them cannot be fined, as they- are outside the jurisdiction jurisdic-tion of the city. It is doubtful, however how-ever if they send any more watered milk to Chicago. . Errors in Milk Testing. Professor Eckles of the Missouri station says: If cream is tested by measuring out with the 17.6 c. c. pipette, as is done with milk, the reading will be too low for two reasons. rea-sons. The basis of the Babcock test Is 18 grams. The 16.7 c. c. pipette delivers de-livers this weight of milk, but as cream is more adhesive than milk, a considerable amount will stick to the pipette. In sour or thick cream this error may be as much as 1.5 per cent. This error is easiest removed by filling fill-ing the pipette a"bout one-third full of warm water, shaking to loosen the cream from the sides, then adding this to the cream in the bottle. The other cause for error is on account of the lightness of the cream, as compared with milk. A 17.6 c. c. pipette full of cream does not weigh quite 18 grams, the regulation amount, but somewhat less, depending upon the richness of the cream. If it is necessary neces-sary to have an exact test of cream, it can be obtained best by using delicate deli-cate scales and weighing out the desired de-sired amount. Scales especially arranged ar-ranged for this purpose can now be purchased at a reasonable price. The temperature at which cream bottles are read is . of great Importance. A difference of over 1 per cent can be made by changing the temperature from 110 degrees to 180 degrees; extremes ex-tremes often met with in various testers. The exact temperature at which reading is correct has not yet been determined, but should be somewhere some-where about 120 degrees. The best way to get bottles at a proper temperature tem-perature is to set them in a pan deep enough to bring the water up near the top of the bottle. Wh Buttermakers Quit. It is a fact, I think, that butter-makers butter-makers leave the business after a shorter period of service than men do In other lines of business, for we- see very few old buttermakers. Is it not that the daily grind gets monotonous, monoton-ous, and the risk of one's health in the too often unsanitary conditions that surround the creameries forces itself on the buttermaker's attention and reminds him that he can stand but a few years of such labor? He reflects on the early rising, and the long days be has to put in in order that everything shall be ready for the next day's run, and the uncertainty that he should be so fortunate as to remain in one place for any length of time, and that when the time does come when he will be unable to get around with his old time vigor that his employer will be casting around to find another man for the place, forgetful of the responsibilities which have been so manfully borne, and the fact that through him alone was the success of the business possible. J. S. Moore. Fattening Horses for Sale. Fattening horses so that they will reach market in good condition for sale is quite an important industry in some regions, says C. F. Langworthy. For instance, In Iowa, there are a number of feeders who thus prepare large numbers of horses for the Chicago Chi-cago market, and officials of the Iowa Experiment Station have gathered some data on the subject. The general gen-eral practice is to feed generously and give little exercise. With proper feeding feed-ing and care, as many as a dozen horses of a lot fed for market have In some instances made an average gain of 3.75 pounds per head per day Somewhat larger gains have been made under exceptional circumstances, throughout a period of ninety days.

Anyone, upon opening after death the body of a hen, will find a cluster of eggs in formation much like a bunch of grapes, and called the ovarium ova-rium (see cut). These, however, are but rudimentary eggs, says the Agricultural Agri-cultural Gazette of New- South Wales. Each of these eggs is contained within with-in a thin, transparent sac and attached at-tached by a narrow. pipe or stem to the ovary. These rudimentary eggs have neither shell nor white, consisting con-sisting wholly of yolk, on which floats the germ of the future chicken; and as they become larger and larger they arrive at a certain stage when, by their own volition, weight or other cause, they become Individually detached de-tached from the bunch, and fall Into a sort of funnel leading Into a pipe or passage way called the oviduct this organ in the hen being from 22 to 26 inches long. During the passage pas-sage of this egg or "ovum to the outer world it becomes coated with successive succes-sive layers of albumen the white which is secreted from the blood-vessels of the oviduct in the form of a thick gliary fluid, and 13 prevented from mixing with the yolk by the membrane or sac which surrounded it before it became detached from the cluster. It is also strengthened by a second and stronger membrane, formed around the first Immediately after falling Into the funnel, and having hav-ing what Is like two twisted cords of a more dense albuminous character. The Oviaby and Oviduct of a Latino fttti .called by anatomists chalazes, which pass quite through the white at the ends, and being, 'as it were, embedded embed-ded therein, thus preventing the yolk and germ from rolling about when the egg is moved, and serving to keep the germ uppermost, so that it may best receive the heat imparted during incubation. It is during the passage of the egg through the lower part of the oviduct ovi-duct that it gsts covered with the two skins which are found inside the shell. These, although lying close around the egg, at the thick end become be-come separate, and form what Is called the air-bubble or chamber. When the egg has advanced more than half-way down the oviduct, it is still destitute of shell, which begins be-gins to be formed by a process of secretion, and wnen about completed the various shades of brown and tinted tint-ed coloring matter is imparted in those breeds In which colored eggs are peculiar. Value of Soft Feed. From Farmers' Review: My experience ex-perience in feeding both mash and cooked feed to fowls and chicks is that it is the best morning feed one can give. I have obtained better results re-sults from feeding mash once a day than by feeding all hart' grain. My hens lay more eggs, the eggs are more fertile and my fowls are healthier when I feed a mash once a day. I think it necessary because it furnishes variety, is economical and allows one to utilize feed' that would otherwise be wasted, and it is beneficial bene-ficial because it permits one to mix certain ingredients that will keep your fowls healthy. My experience has been that the right kind of a condition powder is of as much benefit bene-fit to poultry as it Is to horses or cattle or as a blood purifier or a tonic is to people. Powdered sulphur and linseed meal is given at the proper time and is one of the best muscle and bone forming feeds. Feeds of this kind should be fed in the mash for best results. I was born and raised on a farm' and have always had poultry, and my fowls have free range now. I take full charge of all of them. When i feed hard grain la the morn ing the fowls In summer will hunt a shady place and sit around for a couple of hours and In winter some of them will even go back on the roost, but when I feed mash they don't seem to be satisfied and so have to scratch around for more. I find the mash to be the best morning feed because it is very nourishing and digests much quicker than hard grain or any other feed. I have obtained better results from this method than any other and have never had any disease among my fowls. David O. Bootz, Peoria County, Illinois. Hogs on Sweet Potatoes. Bulletin 122 of the Alabama Station Sta-tion says: From November 13 to December De-cember 18, 1900, a period of 35 days, two phoats were penned on sweet potatoes po-tatoes growing on poor sandy soil, and furnished daily per head with two pounds ground corn and one pound ground cowpeas, which was regarded as a half ration. The total weight at the beginning of the test was 231 pounds, and during the five weeks the two shoats made a total gain of 67 pounds, requiring besides sweet potatoes, po-tatoes, 3.13 pounds of grain per pound of growth. The potatoes were not eaten with much relish, and after being be-ing rooted up they were left on the surface, some of them remaining there until they decayed. Probably the waste would have been less if less grain had been fed. The composition of the sweet potato leads us to expect that it Would be advisable not at any time to confine shoats to sweet potatoes po-tatoes alone, but to give them while on the potato field a little nitrogenous food, such as cowpeas. peanuts, etc w .t -r - ; Value of Stable Manure. In a recent report of the Oklahoma station Director Fields makes the following fol-lowing statements regarding the value of stable manure, which apply to other oth-er portions of the country as well as to Oklahoma: On the outskirts of every town In Oklahoma may be seen a collection of manure piles tht have been hauled out and dumped in waste places. The plant food in each ton of this manure is worth at least $2 that Is what eastern farmers pay for similar material, ma-terial, and they make money by doing It. And yet, almost every liveryman has to pay some one for hauling the manure away. This is simply because be-cause farmers living near these towns are missing a chance to secure something some-thing for nothing because, perhaps, the profit is not directly in sight. But from most soils there is a handsome profit possible from a very small application ap-plication of stable manure. On the farm of the Oklahoma Agricultural Agri-cultural Experiment station Is an acre that has been in wheat for eight years. It had never been manured. In the fall of 1898 one-half of the acre was manured at the rate of 15 tons per acre and the other was left unmatured. un-matured. When the crop was har-VTeG, har-VTeG, In the summer of 1899, the manured piece yielded at the rate of 30 bushels per acre and the unma-nured unma-nured yielded but 12 bushels per acre. An increase of 18 bushels of wheat was secured the first year from an ap- plication of 15 tons of stable manure. If all of the effect of the manure were exhausted the first season there were 18 bushels of wheat to pay for hauling about 10 loads of manure. But the effect' ef-fect' is lasting and extends through a period of several years. Here 1b a feasible plan to Increase the wheat crop: Put every bit of manure ma-nure obtainable into the soil. Eighteen Eight-een hundred bushels of wheat will pay for one man and team hauling manure for 450 days and the profit is directly in sight. Water for Plants. Our friend the scientist states that for land to do its best its water content con-tent should be steadily maintained to within from 40 to 50 per cent of saturation. satur-ation. Prof. King tells us that where this has been maintained by the application ap-plication of the needed water their smallest yield was four tons of dry matter per acre, and the largest seventeen seven-teen tons, and an average of over seven tons when tventy-two cases were tried. We all know that that Is very much in excess of what most of us are doing. We also know that all plant food In the soil is soluble in water under certain conditions, and that all plant food (with perhaps one valuable exception, that of carbon) is taken into the plant through the moisture mois-ture that Is in the soil. This being the case, no matter bow rich our soil may be, if it is perfectly dry the plant has no means of getting hold of the plant food. The vegetable matter is made available through the millions of bacteria that are in tht soil. Our flint corn takes 8,750 gallons per acre each day less moisture to bring it to perfection than any other crop we grow, using some 230 tons of water to grow one ton of dry matter; Dent corn 300, and other crops varying amounts, till we reach oats, which use from 500 to 700 tons. An apple tree, during the time it produces its fruit, will use 250 gallons per day, or on an acre, with the trees 35 feet apart, 8,750 gallons per day. Prof. King tells of four stalks of corn that used In thirteen days as they were coming to tassel 150.6 pounds of water, or nearly three pounds for each stalk per day. This gives us some Idea of the Importance Im-portance which moisture has In the growth of plants. Castor Beans. The castor bean is a tropical plant; hence, it cannot be successfully cultivated culti-vated at. the North. It Is frequently seen growing there, however, as an ornamental plant. It Is a perennial in warm climates and sometimes attains a height of thirty feet, and will live for several years. It is a native of Southern Asia and Northern Africa, and has been naturalized in Southern Europe and other warm climates. In the West Indies it grows with great luxuriance. It has been cultivated to a limited extent as a field crop as far north as 40 degrees; -but the climate of the Southern States is best adapted to it. In Texas and Southern Florida it strongly shows Its perennial tendencies. ten-dencies. A castor plant is said to have been grown in a garden in Galveston, Gal-veston, the stem of which attained seven inches in diameter. The plant continued to yield for seven or eight years. A hundred bushels of beans have been raised per sere in localities in Texas adapted to its culture. The value of the beans consists in the oil which they yield. When pure the oil Is of a light yellow color, but when Inferior in quality it has a greenish green-ish and sometimes a dark yellowish tinge. "Exposure to the sun's rays bleaches It to a certain extent. It is used in medicine as a cathartic. It is also used in lubricating machinery, carriage wheels, leather, and so forth. In Hindostan It is quite extensively employed for burning In lamps. C. L. Flint - Prof. Thomas Shaw says that Ayrshire Ayr-shire cattle form the only class of i dairy stock in the counties of Ayr, Wigtown, Bute, Argyle, Dumfries, Kis-cudbright Kis-cudbright and Perth In Scotland. Reducing Water in Butter. In order to decrease the water content con-tent where It is necessary, the following follow-ing rules should be observed, says a Swedish buttermaker. Churn at a low temperature, wash the butter thoroughly and drain well. Add the salt before the working is commenced. After the salt has been added, do not work the butter more until after it has become hard, prefer ably the next morning, but then! thoroughly and not In too large pieces. Place the butter in an Ice box or refrigerator after the first working and not in water. At all times in making and working the butter the quality must, of course, be considered in the first place and the water content con-tent only In the second. High water per cent is no hindrance for high quality qual-ity but must not be gained at the expense of the quality. As one of the requirements for high water per centage Is that the butter Is to be worked while it Is still soft, the butter after It Is packed in tubs must necessarily neces-sarily be kept at a low temperature. If there are no affective means for cooling cool-ing the butter at hand, a method of working must be employed, which, at the expense of the water content, gives the least grain to the butter. Locating the Peach Orchard. In spite of, the disasters experienced by peach growers during the last five years, peach orchards are being be-ing planted In considerable numbers and on large areas. This 13 a wise thing to do, as a big crop now and then help to average up the lean years and the years when the freezes destroy large areas of peach orchards. Gradually localities are being found in most of our states where the disasters dis-asters come rarely and where crops of peaches are common. Soil for peach orchards may be of almost any character, except swampy. Wherever situated It should contain enough sand to permit of a sort of natural drainage about the roots. Where there is a hard, compact com-pact clay beneath, peach trees should not be planted, as the roots of the trees find it difficult or impossible to penetrate it and are compelled to feed only In the surface soil. When the water in the surface soil Is gone, the roots are exposed to the drouth. When they go Into winter In this condition they are more easily affected affect-ed by the cold. It is now believed that moisture In the soil has a very important influence in bringing trees through severe winters unharmed. In addition, where there Is a hard pan that will hold water, some of the trees will most likely be set in basins that will keep their roots Immersed for weeks during the wet weather. This often results in the destruction of the tree, as the roots of peach trees must have air as well as water to enable them to grow. The texture of the subsoil has much to do with the success of the peach orchard. It must not be so Impervious to water as to hold it for long periods and it must not be so porous as to permit it to leach away too readily. The soil should be loose enough to permit the passage of water but must be close enough to keep the law of capillary attraction in operation. A good peach soil is neither too rich nor too poor. A too rich soil gives wood growth at the expense of fruit. A Lesson from the Forest. If the forest fails to coax a greater amount of rain from the clouds, It does not fail to make good use of what does fall. The water which reaches the ground may follow two distinct courses. Part of It may run away upon the surface, to quickly swell the streams and produce the spring 'or autumn freshet. Another part percolates into the soil, being held there to be used again by plants, or, passing downward, supplies the underground flow of springs and streams. The proportionate amount of these two factors is of the highest importance to the welfare of the farmer farm-er and of the adjacent communities. This proportion Is determined by the topography cf the region, the nature of the underlying rock, the character of the soil and of its surface covering. Of these only the surface conditions are within the control of man. No better surface conditions for Inducing underground flow are to be found anywhere than those which the forest floor presents. Its irregularity. Its hollows and hillocks, its mulch of leaves and its coating of moss, the loose, granular condition of the soil beneath, and the large admixture of humus near the surface, all tend to hold back the rain and afford it an easy entrance into the soil. It may be said in passing that this large admixture admix-ture of humus is one of the most important im-portant factors in rendering virgin soil so productive. It not only permits per-mits water to penetrate the soil more readily, but It also enables more water to be held. It furnishes the mechanical mechani-cal condition best adapted to plant growth and least favorable to hardening harden-ing or baking. The farmer may well take a lesson from the forest, and embrace em-brace every opportunity to add humus to his soil. Rhode Island Station Report, Re-port, . Clover in Failing Orchards. Western prairie lands are generally sufficiently fertile for an orchard growth and need no enriching until the trees begin to show signs of weakness in vigor from crop bearing, and, even then, may be Invigorated by use of crops of red or crimson clover grevn among the trees, allowing the crop to fall and decay upon the ground each year. By this treatment a large amount of decaying vegetable matter will accumulate upon the land, rich in plant food and forming a moist protection pro-tection from hot summer sun and deep freezing during winter, a condition con-dition conducive to health and vigor In trees. All lands lacking In humus can have this element restored to a great extent by such treatment, and orchards which have been treated thus with red clover maintain greater longevity, lon-gevity, fruitfulness and greater excellence excel-lence in fruit product, besides such treatment dispenses with the costly necessity of using special fertilizers. As to the Indications when a bearing bear-ing orchard needs stimulating, the eminent pomologist, Dr. Warder, once said: "When the growth of the terminal ter-minal branches fail to make an annual extension of at least one foot In length, the trees should be stimulated by manuring the land and giving it thorough thor-ough cultivation." Where the Grange Thrives. A report made by Bro. J. H. Satting of Manchester Grange No. 501, Ontario On-tario County, N. Y., to the Ohio Farmer states that the county named boasts of 16 granges, the largest having hav-ing ' 117 members. The total grange membership Is 821. Relative to meetings meet-ings he says: "Current topics are discussed; bills before the state legislature and congress con-gress are often read and discussed; resolutions are drawn up- and signed and sent to our representatives rnd are often effective. Thus we influence influ-ence for the good of all. "Exchange of seed and stock often occurs at meetings; methods of producing pro-ducing the best crops are asked for and freely given.

A stranger admitted below the bar of the British house of lords was required re-quired to deposit his umbrella with one of the attendants. The umbrella was not to be found afterward and the owner brought an action in court to recover its value. He was successful success-ful and was awarded $5. But this was a violation of sanctuary which the lord chancellor would not tolerate. Summoning the plaintiff and his attorney attor-ney to the bar of the house, he only refrained from committing them both to prison on their making a humble apology and refunding the amount they had gained.

Unfortunate Occurrence That Caused Insanity of Musician. Among the lot of inmates at the asylum the most conspicuous was a long-haired man, who sat by the window win-dow drumming his fingers excitedly on the window sill, as if playing a piano. "What was the cause of his aberration?" aberra-tion?" I asked of the keeper. "His Is a peculiar case," , was the answer. "He is a German musician. He was in Hackensack once, playing the piano. Mosquitoes were thick; they got on his music sheet 'and he unob-servedly unob-servedly played the mosquitoes for notes. The harmonies resulting were more beautiful than any he had ever heard before. He became enraptured, tut the mosquitoes flew away and a repetition was impossible. Ever since then he has been seeking for the combination, but can't find it. It was the lost chord.

If the wise King Solomon could be again Invented with his robes of state and be permitted to hear evidence and render Judgment in certain vexatious vexa-tious cases which puzzle modern Solons from time to time, he, too, might find his proverbial wisdom put to a cevere test.
