is a paradise of
comfort aud con-
veuitnee. The
lonely logbouse,
remote from mar-
ket and devoid of
advantages that a
half cycle of time
lias made possible,
would scarcely ap
peal to the pres-
ent day farmer
The twentieth-
century soil tiller lias practically uu
the modern comforts. His mail is de-
livered daily. He lias telephonic con-
nection with the buying and selling
world, affording the best opportunities
for marketing to advantage. His
home is of recent architecture, con-
structed of wood, brick or stone, and
well furnished He has modern plumb-
ing and modern heating, and with the
advent of ace'ylene gas, he has mod-
ern lighting At night his home is as
attractively illuminated as that of his
city brother, for it is a suggestive fact
that "acetylene for country homes"
has so appealed to the farmer, that of
the 80,000 users of acetylene gas in
the I'nited States, the farmer is one
of the largest of all classes. Ever
seeking the best, lie has not hesitated
iu availing himself of this new light.
The continued growth and progress
of this great country. ever a cause of
wonderment, has no greater exempli-
fication than evolution on the farm.
Already the farmer is becoming the
most envied of men—the freest, the
healthiest, the happiest!
SCOTLAND'S NATIVE NOBILITY.
Scotland stands exactly where she
did In the matter of precedence for her
native nobility. The new law has al-
tered nothing, according to a London
exchange. The treaty of union clearly
lays down that all peers of Scotland
shall from and after the union be peers
of Great Britain, and have rank and
precedency next and Immediately after
the peers of the like orders and de-
grees in England at the time of tlio
union, and before all peers of Great
Britain who may be created after the
union. So that If the old nobility are
shorn of glory in one direction they
gain it In another. But Scotland, if
she has a grlevtnce In a new departure
front custom, has herself to thank. She
should lake more interest in her dukes
and less pride in reciting, "The ranic
is but the guinea stamp."
GREAT AMATEUR FARMER.
Mr. Austen Chamberlain's favorite
bobby is amateur farming. He lias at
Highbury (at his father's country resi-
dence, for the same home serves for
father and son), a little farm, sepa-
rated from the garden only by a high
wall. He has stocke<i on this farm
some of the choicest cattle to be found
In England; in particular, a herd of
Jerseys, which he obtained originally
lrom Lord Rothschild. His model farm
supplies the home with the best quali-
ty of milk and butter.
Hunting Bad Flavors,
The farmer that sells his butter to
the corner grocer lias little trouble
with what are known as "flavors." If
liis butter has all kinds of flavors he
is likely never to hear from it, because
the butter goes into the same lot with
| othor butter and loses its Identity.
Not so lb)1 farmer tliut delivers his
butler to select customers, who gener-
ally pay him something above the rul-
i lug price for it. If his butter develops
flavors not desired by tin consumers,
. the maker Is sure to hear from it.
In such a ease it Is of little use to
itteuipt to reason with the consumer
whether or not they are mistaken.
The best way Is to assume that the
I customers have grounds for their
complaints and begin looking for the
source of the bad odors. A careful in
spectlon should be made of the part
of the farmhouse in which the cream
Is kept and the butter churned. If
they are found to be in the proper
condition next Inspect the cans, pans
ami milk vessels in which the milk is
kept.
Some of our enterprising farmers
have learned how to make a curd test.
This is the setting of milk In a glass
t'be or bottle, allowing it to ferment
and then applying the nose as a tester.
I If the milk is bail the nose will dis
I cover it quickly. The test of the curd
lo the eye also tells something. II
j the curd is full of holes it shows the
| presence of undesirable ferments in
j the milk. If the milk curd is from
I clean milk it will lie smooth and quite
| compact.
Pig Weaning Points.
When pigs are some three weeks
old (hey should be given a blood warn:
slop made with skim milk and mid
dlings. Adding a little blood meal will
show good results This must be fed
in a small trough to which the mothei
has no access. The little fellows will
not eat much at three weeks of age
yet we generally begin to feed 'here
then and think It desirable to do so
After six weeks the pigs will eai
fairly well and many then wean them
This is really too soon. Tiiey should
stay with (heir mothers till they ar«
ai least eight weeks old. It Is verj
seldom thai some are not weaker thai
others, and it is a good plan to removi
the strong ones and let the weakei
ones suck a few weeks longer. Thii
will make the whole lot more even
and they will sell better in the fall
j When weaning the pigs do not pet
j theni, but give them all the freedom
j possible.
For several years we have let oui
pigs run with their mothers until tht
old sows undertook the weaning them
selves. Pigs treat) d in this way wil
make a remarkable growth. Of courst
when a fall litter is lo be raised sucl
a practice can not be followed. W<
are able to feed our sows cheaply witl
skim milk and pasture, otherwise i'
might be cheaper to separate the pig!
from the sows after eight weeks ant
fatten and sell them as soon as pos

KING'S SIMPLE LIFe.
The habits of no other monarch are
more simple thar those of the King o?
the Belgians, liis majesty rises at G
o clock, and works for n choice of
hours before breakfast, a meal which
consists of coarse, dry bread, tea and
an apple. The morning Is spent in the
transaction of state business. Lun-
cheon is of homely fare The king
usually ill-inks tillered water, rarely
wine. He takes outdoor exercise in
the afternoon. Dinner Is a plain meal,
for the king is fond of simple joints.
JAPANESE MOTTO.
The Japanese Imperial Educational
Rescript says: "Advance learning and
regulate your pursuits, developing tlie
intellectual faculties and perfecting
the virtuous and useful elements In
any emergency, exert yourselves in tho
public service, and exhibit voluntarily
your bravery " This exhortation hangs
mi the walls of every Japanese school-
house, and is read iu unison aloud
dally.
MEXICO INDIAN GOVERNOR.
Colonel Chauantzi, governor of the
Mexican State of Tlascala, is the onty
fullblooded Indian, holding such a posi-
tion In the Republic on the other side
of the Rio Grande. It is the smalle. t
of the twenty seven States, but is rich
in historic interest. Colonel Cahuatitzi
has been governor for twenty years
and has ruled with such a combina-
tion of tenderness, simplicity aud
firmness as to win the greatest respect
from fellow citizens.
CHANGES IN NILE VALLEY.
The.Nil© valley in Egypt has experi-
enced remarkable climatic changes
since the completion by the British
of the gnat Assoman irrigation sys-
tem, and there have been electrical
storms of a character hitherto un-
known to the country, during one ct
which tho Khephren pyramid, as was
cabled weeks ago, was struck by light-
ning, an occurrence that ha* never La-
fore been rvcurdtd.
Develop Frames.
It is desirable to develop th<
i frames of the young pigs, am
for this reason they should not b)
! fed on too much corn. Those tha:
have begun to awake to the danger o!
feeding too much corn to breedinj
pigs, that is, pigs intended to be de
veloped into breeders later, yet mak«
the mistake of beginning the too earlj
feeding of a corn ration lo (he pigi
intended for pork. The latter musl
have good strong bones or they maj
"go down behind" long before thej
: have reached the end of the fattening
period. We have seen hogs that had
been fed on corn alone lor month!
| so weak in the bones that long befort
i the slaughtering day came they could
not stand on their hind legs. Develof
the Irnme and a strong one and linisfc
off on corn.
Hellebore.
This is one of our best insecticide!
> for use in chi eking currant worm and
asparagus beetle. It has the ad
vantages of not being highly poison
ous, though it is poisonous tc
some extent and should be kepi
away from children and animals.
It cun be scattered on the wet bush
es or may be dissolved in water for
sprinkling on dry bushes This latter
is probably the best way ta use it and
the way in which there will be least
waste. It is so effective that it is a
wonder that anyone will try to keep
down the worms by hand-picking.
The Steer on Feed.
To make good gains, steers should
*ie kept in absolute quiet. Anything
which tends to rouse them or make
them nervous interferes very serious-
ly with their gain in weight. It should
iiiso lie noted that they are free from
; lice, as a lousy steer will not make
tin best use of his food. Cleanliness
with regard to managers is extremely
important, and the animals should be
fed only what they will eat up clean
before leaving the manger.
The Successful Feeder.
It is not necessarily the mil
who gets the animal to eat the
largest quantity of food who will
get the largest gains, but it It
tho man whose whole interest is
I centered in the animal's, who watch-
es everything In connection with them,
and who is willing to sacrifice liis own
comfort and convenience to that of
| the animals under his chars#

had been his stenographer, in trust to :
pay herself the income for life, with \
the right to give such of the annual |
income as she felt she did not want
to such of his three sons as she might
select, anil to dispose of the trust!
estate after her reath among these
sons and their heirs as she wished. !
The sons contested, alleging fraud and !
undue influence, and a Jury so decided,

BREAKER BOY RISES HIGl .
Former Mine Worker Gets Important
Post on Panama Canal Staff.
C. Lewis Gable of 811 West Alle-
gheny avenue, who has just been ap-
polnted private secretary to the chief
of the engineering staff of the Panama
Canal commission, came to Philadel-
phia a poor boy in 1902, says the
Philadelphia North American, and
owes his present plai e to hard work
and pluck, with a total absence of
;i illtleal pull.
He was born In Shenandoah. Dec
. 1882, and, without opportunity for
schooling, worked as a breaker boy
in the coal mining district. In May.
1902, he came to Philadelphia, and
since then lias worked as a general
helper In uptown factories. At night
he attended the stenographic and
ether classes at the Temple college,
graduating from there at the end of
last. year.
Early (his year he took the I'nited
States civil service examination for
a place as secretary and stenographer
and obtained such a high average that
hi- attracted (lie attention of the ex-
aminers. He was favorably recoix
mended by them out of a large niiti-
her of candidates who obtained quali-
fying marks, and on March 24 receiv-
ed notice of his appointment to the
place he now fills on the Panama
canal engineering staff.
PAID TOO MUCH FOR A HAT.
London Judge Makes Ruling on What
Husband Must Buy.
A Slreaiham woman whose husband
had forbidden her to pledge his credit,
says (he London Mirror, pleaded at
Bloomsbury county court the other
day that an account owing (o a firm of
Oxford street drapers was for "neces-
saries," for which her husband was
liable.
Judge Bacon — "Can a stole be a
necessity for a woman? Can a sun-
shade? Can laces and gloves at fifty
cents a pair?
"These are all mere extravagances,"
he continued. "Here is $9.99 for a
woman's hat. Surely for $1.80 she
could get a hat which would fascinate
all the neighborhood. All these arti-
cles are not dress, but superstruc-
tures on dress.
"She must have been provided with
i ecessary dress or she would not have
put on gloves. She could not have
wandered about in gloves and a sun-
shade."
The woman was ordered to pay tie
bill.
WORTH HEMEMBERINQ.
GREAT CHANGE
From Change in Food.
The brain depends much mi re on
the stomach than we are apt to sup-
pose until we take thought in the mat-
ter. Feed the stomach on proper food
easy to digest and containing the
proper amount of phosphates and the
healthy brain will respond to all de-
mands A notable housewife in Buf-
falo writes:
' The doctor diagnosed my trouble
as a 'nervous affection of the stom-
ach.' 1 was actually so nervous that
I could not sit still for five minutes
I to read the newspaper, and to attend
to my household duties was simply
Impossible. I doctored all the time
with remedies, but medicine did uo
good.
My physician put me on all sorts
of diet, and 1 tried many kinus of
cereal foods, hut none of them agreed
with me. 1 was almost discouraged,
and when I tried Grape-Nuts I diil so
with many misgivings—I had ro faith
thai it would succeed where every-
thing else had failed.
"lint it did succeed, and yon don't
l;noi>- how glad I am that 1 tried It.
I feel like a new person. 1 have gain-
ed in wight and I don't have that
terrible burning sensation in my stom-
ach any more. I feel so strong

mind is so i lear that my household

Creek, Mich. •
There's a reason.
Now why was this great chance
; made In this woman?
The stomach and the brain had not
been supplied with the right kind of
food to rebuild and strengthen the
nerve centers in these organs. If is
absolute folly to try to do* this with
medicine There Is but one sure way
\ and that is to quit the old food that
has failed and take on Grape Nuts
i food v.hich is more than halt digested
r in the process of manufacture and is
rich in the phosphate of potash con-
tained in the natural grain, which
unites with alhumen and water—the
only three substances that will make
up the soft gray filling In the thou-
sands of delicate nerve centres in the
brain and body. Grape-Nuts food is a
sure road back to health in all sucb
cases.
Woman's Dress.
But. my diar. good Odo, a woman's
husband is not the man a wife dresses
for. She makes herself as attractive
as she can for everylsitly worth know-
ing. You must be an extraordinary
person if you suppose that I am going
ic for (he red and green transforma-
tion treatment for you—simply for
! int. A woman who is really a woman
and not a hockey player has to watch
the fashion as closely as a cook
watches a pet; and the married
woman of the present day musl do all
she can to look like the unmarried
woman of yesterday. It is the mar-
ried women who are the most popular
with men. It is the married women
who control politics, the army, litera-
ture and the stage. Therefore can't
you see how necessary it is for them
to do all they can to remain attrac-
tive? lied hair and green eyes? Yes.
Bute teeth and amber eyes, if neces-
sary. or black tic th and white eyes.—

Wasp as a Meat Packer.
That remarkably self sufficient in-
sect. the hun(ress wasp, knew how to
preserve fresh meat firr I he use of her
children long before man invented his
canning processes. In the May num-
ber of Harper's Magazine Dr. Henry
C. McCook tells the wonderful story
of "The Huntress Wasps" who cap-
ture spiders, administer to them an
anesthetic sting that leaves (hem alive
but unconscious for a period of about
two weeks, and then "cans" them in
the tubular cell where she deposits her
eggs. The preserved spider lives just
long enough to furnish fresh meat to
the young wasps. These mother wasps
are not only skilled in the arts and
sciences, but are most valiant hunters.
Even the dreaded tarantula succumbs
in fear to a wasp of a large and hand-
some species known as tarantula kill-
ers.
Pertinent Query.
Rev. Henry C. McCook, pastor
emeritus of one of the oldest and most
fashionable churches in Philadelphia,
tells of a Scotchman who left the
Presbyterian church and became an
independent. The deserter was taken
to task by the Presbyterian minister.
"Sandy," began the minister, "I'm
sorry to find that you have changed
your religious inclinations. A rolling
stone gathers no moss, Sandy."
"Ay, minister, I ken," responded
Sandy, "but canna ye tell me what

There are three entirtly different
kinds of ingredients used In making
the three different varieties of baking
powders on the market, viz: — (11 Min-
eral Add or Alum. (2) Bone-Acia
Phosphate, and (3) Cream of Vartar
j made from grapes. It is important,
j from the standpoint of health, to
! know something about these ingredi-
ents. and which kind is u. d in your
| linking powder.
(1) Mineral Acid, or Alum, Is mad
from a kind of clay. This is mixed
with diluted oil of vitriol and from
| this solution a product Is obtained
' which Is alum. Alum is cheap; costs
i about two cents a pound, and baking
nowder made w ith this Mineral Acid
1 .ells from 10 to 25c. a pound.
(2) Bone-Acid, ;n Phosphate, Is the
! basis of phosphate baking powders
and the process is fully described in
| the patents issued to a large mantifac-
| tutor of a phosphate powder. The U.
J S. Patent Office Keport gives a full
and exact description, but the follow-
ing extract is enough:
"Burned bones, after being ground,
are jiut into freshly diluted oil of it-
riol and with continual stirring and
in the following proportion," etc.
From (his Bone Acid phosphate bak-
ing powders are made; such powders
sell from 20 (o 30 cents a pound.
(3) Cream of Tartar exists in all
ripe grapes, and flows with the julee
from the press in the manufacture of
wine. After the wine is drawn off the
tartar is scraped from the cask, boil-
ed with water, and crystals of Cream
of Tartar, white and very pure, sepa-
rate and are collected. It differs in
no respect from the form in which it
originally existed in the grape. Cream
of Tartar, then, while the most expen-
sive. is the on'y ingredient that
should be used in a baking powder to
act upon the soda, as its wholesoine-
ness is beyond question. Cream or
Tartar baking powders sell at about
4ii to 50 cents a pound.
Such are the facts, and every one,
careful of the health of the family,
should remember this rule:—Baking:
powders selling from 10 to 25 cents a
pound are made of Mineral Acids;
those selling from 20 to 30 cents of
Bone Acid; and those from 40 to 50
cents of Cream of Tartar made lrom
grapes.

KNEW WAYS OF TURKEYS.
"Some years ago 1 was the guest of
a friend who owned a ranch away
dowu on the Nueces river, in tha
isouth, west of Sail Antonio, ' said Mr.
11. J. Itlce of New Orleans. "The re-
gion abounded in game, and wild tur-
keys were t specially numerous. Never
having bagged one ol' these birds, t
was keen to go after them, and my
ho t piotnieed to take me. We start-
ed out on the hunt, and I could al-
ready tii a magnificent gobbler fail-
ing lo my tir . After walking several
miles my friends remarked that it was
wi ll to list wi,iie. aud threw hini-
seil down under the shade of a mes-
quite bush. This did not suit me at
all, for 1 whs eager to go on, aud I
remonstrated with him about losing
valuable time. For answer he rolled
over on the grass and went to sleep
at which 1 was fired with anger anil
half a notion to go bock lo the house.
It was well along in the afternoon be-
fore he aroused from his nap, and
then, with an apologetic smile, he
said: We won't have to wait long
now. for thi.-, is the place the turkeys-
come to roost, and all we will have
to do is to hide and shoot them down."
It was just as he said, and about sun-
down there came a superb drove of
wild turkeys. Unconscious of danger,
