This combination is ‘blamable for the following : A very pretty girl sat in a Long Island railroad "train. Suddenly the whistle blew. It is perhaps not necessary to say that a Long Island railroad whistle is more efficacious than otherwise. It is tuned to the key of W and is operated with a great diapason, giving out a brand of yelping shriek different from anything ..known to nature. To repeat, the en- gine whistled. “ O-o-ow I” cried the ‘pretty girl. “Isn’t that awful? I should think ' the railroad company would have those things oiled. It is an ._outrage." Her companion had often “heard of wetting whistles, but nevor be- :fore of oiling them. Think it over, 0‘. No Place for Tunnels. A Scotchman who had been employed :nearly all his life in the building of i railways in the Highlands of Scotland ' came to America in his later years and settled in a new section on the plains of the far west. Soon after his arrival a project came up in his new home for acoustructing a railway through the dis- ;trict, and the Scotchman was applied to as a man of experience in such matters. -“ Hoot, mon !" said he to the spokes- man (if the scheme, “ Ye cauna build a Trailway across this country.” “ Why met, Mr. Ferguson ?” " Why not ?” the repeated, with an air of effectually :xsettliug the whole matter. “Why not!

A good story comes from the Pincher "Creek district. Two travellers were driving through that section and met with an accident to their buggy. One Of the two went to a nearby shanty, the occupant of which happened to be a Swede, and asked if he had a monkey wrench. The astonished traveller re- ceived the following reply :_ “ No,'Ay .got a cattle ranch; may brother, Ole. haf a horse ranch ; Ncl's Nelson hafa hog ranch ba de crick oler ; and a Yan- kee feller haf a sheep ranch but five mile down the road; but Ay bet no fel- lcr fool enough to start a monkey ranch in dose country.” 0+9 Her Sentiments, Too. It is related of a clergyman who was the happy father of a charming and beautilul daughter that one day, while preparing his Sunday discourse, he was suddenly called away from 1115 desk on a mission of mercy. The sentence at which he left off was this : “ I never see a young man of splendid physique. and the promise of a glorious manhood almost realized but my heart is filled with rupture and delight." llis dough tor, happening to cuter the study, saw me >L'lllltlll, and read the Words. ting down, she wrote underneath : !

The present time of year should show to the fullest extent whatever benefits may pertain to a covered barnyard. An Ohio Farmer writer says of this : If appearances are facts, seldom in- deed is there a farmer who appreciates the real worth of a covered barnyard. At any rate, those seen by the writer in his travels over and about the country have been exceedingly few and far be- tween. A covered barnyard, just the same, is a very important factor in farm management, it not only being possible with it to keep manure from leaching, even in the slightest degree, but preserve it to a certainty from that hateful con- sumer of the majority of manure heaps, “ fire fanging.” With a covered barn- yard one should simply wheel out the manure daily and throw some litter over it. Thus dealt with, the cattle will run over it and keep it so closely packed that too rapid heating is an im- possibility. A covered barnyard also affords stock a chance to exercise and secure fresh air without exposure to storms and cold winds, no matter what the period of the year may be, and for sheep that lamb in the spring it is just the place in which they can winter, the opinion of many being that sheep, cloth- ed with a thick fleece of wool as they are, thrive better on an average when they have a cool situation. To justify this, howevor, it is imperative that the barnyard be enclosed all around except that part facing to the south, with food racks for the animals arranged at the sides. Sheep can be wintered in this manner with very little trouble. 6-.- Common Cows for Beef Cattle. It is not only possible to start with common cows and build up a good herd of beef cattle, but it is one of the best moves that the average farmer can make, provided, of course, that he has the common cows to begin with, says a Kansas farmer in American Cultivator. There is no earthly reason why ‘ he should sell such a herd and proceed to put a lot of money into well-bred cows. I should advocate building up the herd every time from common stock, so that ‘ one would gain experience while making improvements. Put the average man without experience in possession of a fine herd, and he will in most cases abuse it through ignorance. If a man cannot breed carefully enough to build up a herd, he cannot handle fine bred animals well enough to keep them up to their standard. If there is going to be any failure, it is better to have it' out with the common herd so the loss will be less keen. . 0a.». Draining Wet Places. â€". Frequently wet places that produce more frogs and mosquitoes than any crop that can be planted, can be drain- ed with a good plow and team and a day or two with a shovel or hoe, says Farm and Ranch. It will pay to do such work, because such places, well drained, are very fertile ; also such areas frequently cause the neglect of the crops on either side, because when it should be cultivated the wet ground will not permit it, and when that becomes dry enough the other will be too dry for best results. We once drained a pond of about two and a half acres by dig- ging a wall in the lowest point down to a sand bed. All the water ran into this hole and disappeared. This will not work at all places. But the wet places should be made dry or dredged and converted into fish ponds. â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"o+q ' Treatment of Sore Tests. The proper thing to do is to treat each case on its merits, but perhaps the most useful dressing to keep on hand for general purposes is camphor and elder ointment. Any chemist will sup- ply you with such a compound, or it may be made by mixing one-half ounce of finely powdered camphor with four ounces of elder ointment. Another use- ful dressing, especially when flies are troublesome, is the glycerine and car- bolio acid. in many cases it is neces- sary to draw off the milk by means of a teat tube or siphon. A laxative dose, 12 to 16 ounces of Epsom salts, is use- ful in cases of erythema mammillarum. 0-9 Cleansing the Fowlhouse. Spraying the poultry houses with a solution of sulphuric acid, one pound to twenty gallons of water, is an efficient remedy for lice, mites and all disease germs if it is put on so as to cover walls, ceilings, floors, roosts and nests, and forced into cracks and crevices. It is better than some other sprays, as it is not necessary to keep the fowls out more than an hour or so, and it will destroy the as well as the develop- ed insects if it touches them.
