Tim "Home Elect i leal" demon
strates the extent to which electricity
Is rapidly adaptable for ail kinds of
domestic service where light lu.it and
power are required. These electrical
devices aro simple to uso and com-
paratively moderate lu cost. Some of
them may be operated as reasonably
as an electric iron. It is possible to
install many of them without extra
Operative costs by taking out ol
carbon Incandescent lamps und re-
placing thi m with modern Mazda
lamps which save fully two-thirds of
the current; and tins can be used to
run fans cooking devices vacuum
cleaners etc. without increasing the
monthly lighting btll.Qrand Rapids

Strategy of tho Students.
Among stories of examinations
those that are most popular With the
students arc told at the expense of the
examiners. We have two capital ones
at Edinburgh.
According to the first an examiner
had made himself obnoxious by warn-
ing the students against putting their
hats on his dl sk. The university in
the Scottish capita) Is remarkable for
a scarcity of cloakrooms and In tho
excitement of examination hats aro.
Or used to be flung down anywhere.
Tho examiner announced one day
that if he found another on his desk
he would rip it up. Next day no
hats were laid there when the students
assembled. Presently however the
examiner was called out of the room.
Then eome naughty undergraduate
slipped from his seat got the ex-
aminer's hat and placed it on the desk.
When the examiner returned to the
room every eye was fixed on him. He
observed tho hat and a gleam of
triumph shot across his face.
Then ho took his penknife from his
pocket opened It and blandly cut the
hat In pieces amidst loud and pro-
longed applause
They do say that there were other
examiners In the room at the time
Who could have warned him had they
chosen.

Varieties of rriilt for Oklahoma.
Varieties of fruits vary a great denl
in their adaptability to climatic con-
ditions. The varieties most success-
ful in New York are entirely un-
adapted for growth in Oklahoma and
their growth should not be attempted.
Oklahoma conditions are quite exac-
ting and the number of varieties
adapted for growth hero are rather
limited. Many of the disappointments
and failures in fruit growing in Okla-
homa are due to the selection of va-
rieties nnadapted to the conditions
prevalent Tins is partly due to the
fad that n great deal of the stock Is
purchased from nurseries outside the
state whe re conditions arc different.
The following varieties have proven
best in Oto'ahomai
Apples Summer- Red June Barly
Harvest. Yellow Transparent Maiden
Plush. Bummer Queen.
Fall Grimes Golden Hen
Gano Jonathan Missouri
Black Ben. Arkansas Black.
Winter Wineeap York Imperial

Peaches (arranged in their order of
ripening.) Mayflower Alexander

Family Favorite Triumph. Siberia
Crosby Baiway Levy biio or Henrietta.
Apricots Moorpark (libb.
Cherries -Early Richmond
Morel lo Montmorency
Pears- Kiel for Gnrbcr

Plums- Uurbank Abundance

Grapes Concord Brighton Dia-
mond. Catawba Norton Virginia
Moore's Karly.
Blackberries Barly Harvest Jgltta-
tinny Dallas.
DewBorriea Austin (Mayes) lA-
cretla. Raspberries (none very successful)
Black Cap Kansas Gregg Purple

Turner.
Strawberries Qandy Klondike.
I.ady Thompson Aroma St. Louis
Michel Early.
Gooseberries (none very successful'
Houghton Downing.
Currants (none very' successful)- -Missouri
Black or Jiuffalo currant.
For commercial planting the va-
rieties should be few and of tho sorts
best adapted to shipping. Eor the
home planting the varieties should be
many ripening from early to lute. -

For once youth and good looks were
nowhere. Middle age was triumphant.
The victor was hatless and she carried
a largo market basket. The car was so
crowded that she had difficulty in
pushing In with her basket but sho
finally managed it. Moreover she
found space to balance It on the back
of a seat. Then she looked out at tho
station clock. That gave ber a fright.
"Half-past five" he said. "Good
gracious! And I've got to have Jim's
supper ready at 6: JO!"
One corner of the basket was parti-
tioned off tnto a little nest and Into
that nest she tossed her green beans as
she strung them. Before half a doxen
beans had left her fingers every man
within seeing and hearing distance was
on his feet bo ;ing her to take his
place.

It Is quite an evident fai t that It is

where thn auri uundinga are anything
but an incentive to a milker to be
clean anil careful.
Naturally a cow Is a very clean

cow is forced to wade through mud

to get to the watering tank or ln;o
the barn to her feed how can she he
otherwise than dirty and filthy? If
no gutter is furnished in the cow barn
and the cows aro tied with short
halters nothing mure may be expect-
ed than that they will be coated with
filth every duy.

The milker himself especially bis
hands anil lotlilng. should be per

have a small top to prevent any hair
