Just at this time when there is
a chance to do so all the implements
should be cleaned and oiled. The
"harness may need overhauling and
loose spokes or tires of wheels can
"be repaired. In the spring the use
of implements will not permit of re-

it is that he should have a good

him that he should get rid of a poor
cow as that he should get rid of the
chinch bug or the hog cholera.

If pork has ever soured or spoil-
ed in a barrel it would not be safe
to use it for pork again no anatter
how thoroughly it might have been
cleansed. The cost of a new barrel
warranted to preserve the pork is
much less than the value of the
meat which it will hold. It is true
the fault may not originally be in
ihe barrel but rather in the mode of
jnanagement; yet having once spoil-
ed a lot of pork the barrel had bet-
ter thereafter be left to other uses.
Bread Omelette. To make a
bread omelette soak a cupful of milk
or enough to make it entirely soft;
qf "beat three eggs smooth mix them
with the soaked bread season it
palatably with salt and pepper; put
over the fire a smooth frying-pan
containing a tablespoonful of butter
and when it is hot pour in the omel-
ette; with a thin knife loosen the
edges of the omelette as they harden
from the sides of the pan; shake the
;5an gently to keep the omelette

riog is to fat feeders should make it

f ing the most nutritious feed to the
exclusion of fat forming food.
Feeding Fob Strength. One of
the remarkable results in the experj-
Fments made at fcrf "Wisconsin station
was shown inhe tests of the
strength of bones. Those fed main-
ly for the production of lean meat
bore a strain of 1000 pounds. Others
apparently the same made from a
feed of corn meal broke at 300
pounds. Perhaps farmers can Eee
irom this why it is that corn alone
is not good food for horses hard at
work. It puts on fat but it does
not wear because it gives so little
for making muscle. The world-wide
preference for oats as food forwork-
ing horses is not an accident. It is
one of the best grains for giving
strength. Farmers learned this prac-
tically long before science explained
the reason.

To Planters.
Corsicana Observer.
This year has been the most re-
markable one on record so far as
weather is concerned. There has
been more cold and more rain and
snow than usual. ' It has set farm-
ers back in their preparation for
cropping prostrated business and
spoiled the public roads. It is a
long lane that never turns. Very-
little small grain has been planted
and very little land broke for the
general crop. If the weather goes
on a few weeks more as it has in the
past farmers will have to lay off
their ground and plant it in the old
Texas fashion without breaking. It
will be a good plan to have every-
thing in readiness to push the plows
when the ground is dry enough. The
planting season will soon be here
and when the time comes the seed
should go in the ground without de-
lay. The crop should be divided so
as to give time to get each serial in
due time. Oats first then corn mil-
let and cotton in regular rotation.
The crop is one of much importance
and should be larger than usual.
The demand becomes greater every
year for good hay and millet seed.
Cotton is not to be relied on as a
valuable crop when it has to be
grown on rented land and then pick-
ed by hired help. Make hay while
the sun shines is a good old adage
that is applicable thisyear especially
will it be valuable in the spring.

Does Fruit Growing Pay.
Overton stisri-Miuuler.
How frequently is the question
asked does fruit growing pay? Does
farming pay ? Does poultry keeping
or the dairy pay? Bless your souls
yes! A thousand times yes yes yes!
All kinds of business pays has al-
ways paid good profits. Can you tell
me of any.kind of business that does
not pay if wisely undertaken and
judiciously and persistently pursued?
No you cannot. If any kind of busi-
ness should become permanently un-
profitable it would be discarded.
That most kinds of business are con
tinued is conclusive that they are
profitable. The question to be con-
sidered is this : Is fruit growing (or
whatever business you have in mind)
profitable to you? and if not why
not? If others make it profitable
why cannot you? First You may
expect too large profits. You can
buy 300 pins for G cents a yard of
calico for G cents GO clothes pins for
10 cents 100 pounds of steel nails
with keg for S2.40. There is money
made in manufacturing these tilings
at such prices. Does your business
pay you less profits ? Second Your
expenses of living or of conducting
your business may bo excessive.
Third You may be a poor financier
or a poor manager. Fourth You
may be shortsighted not looking far
enough ahead. Fifth You may not
be adapted to your business or may
not possess enough capital. Sixth
Your location may not have been
wisely selected. "Whatever the cause
of your .not making your business
profitable the fault is not in the par-
ticular pursuit but in yourself or
your surroundings.
No kinds of business continues to
give the same profits for a long series
of years. This is a world of changes
and every trade has its ebb and flow
its expansions and contractions yet
is always on the average profitable.
Shall this induce you to be ever
changing from one enterprise to an-
other hoping ever to float "on the
tide of the greatest prosperity never
meeting with seasons of depression?
Some have tried this but being in-
experienced in every new venture
they were soon in distress. The fact
that everything is changeable and
liable to fluctuations gives the far
seeing man great advantage to secure
wealth while the same changes may
be the ruin of the man who sees only
an inch from his nose.
Yes fruit growing pays has al-
ways paid and will so long as the
earth is inhabited. "There will be
times when some kinds of fruit will
be grown to excess in certain sec-
tions of the country but in such
cases foolish men brinjr about a
healthy reaction by discontinuing
the business or destroying their or-
chards or the rapidly increasing
population exhausts the surplus and
all goes on profitably again. Do not
become discouraged by slight causes.
Sell your productions for what you
can get and 'accept the result like a
philosopher. I have known people
to be disheartened by a reduction in
price so far as to neglect to gather
the crops they had failed to secure.
There appears to be an element in
the affairs of all men that tests their
courage. It is the law of the survi-
val of the fittest Tho tendency is
toward the annihilation of those
easily disheartened and tho perpe-
tuation of those who Lave courage.

How a Coroner's Jury was Enlightened.
Toronto Globe;
At this juncture the Coroner de-
sired to show to the jury the course
taken by the ball and for this pur-
pose produced the corset worn by
3Irs. Burkhart at the time of the
tragedy. ''You see" said he and
here he drew the corset around his
waist with the lace in front "the
ball must have gone in here from be-
hind. No that can't her either for
the doctor says the ball went in
front. Confound it. I've got it on
wrong. Ahl this way.' (Here the
Coroner put the corset on upside
down.) "Now you see'' pointing
to the hole in the garment which
rested over his hip "the ball must
have gone in here. No that can't
be either for "
Here Mr. Mather the handsome
man on the jury broke in. "Dr.
Stillman" said he "you've got that
corset on wrong." Here Dr. Still-
man blushed like a peony. ""Well"'
said he 'Tve been married twice
and I oufjht to know how to rig a
corset." "Yes" said Mr. Mather
"but you don't. You had it right in
the first place. The strings go. in
front and the ladies clasp them to
gether at the back. Don 1 1 know?
I think I ought to. I've been mar-
ried. If you doubt it look here
(pointing to the fullness at the top)
How do you suppose that's going to
be filled up unless you put it on as I
suggest? "That" said Dr. Stillman;
"why that goes over the hips.
"No it don't said Mr. Mather
"that fullness goes somewhere else
this way" and here Mr. Mather
indicated where he thought the f ull-
nell oujmt to ko.
Here another juryman discovered
that Dr. Stillman had the corset on
bottom f-ide up.
"Doctor' said he "put in on the
other way."
Then the Doctor put it on in re-
verse order with the laces in front.
This brought the bullet hole directly
over the tails of his coat.
"I don't think" said Mr. Mather
'that the bullet went in thcie Doc-
tor." "I don't think it did" was tho re
ply. "Confound it it's mighty fun-
ny six married men in this room
and not one that knows how to put
on a woman s corsets.
Keep Warm. Eose Terry Cooke
says: "If you want to be happy
keep warm. Women are eaten up
with neuralgia says tho doctor. JNo
wonder. They sit all tho morning
by a hot register and thon tie tho
five or six-inch strip of bonnet over
their back hair a bit of lace film
ovo- their bangs put on kid boots
with silk thread stockings under
neath and dowdle along tho pave
with bitter winds of winter smiting
their temples their delicate ears
their throats and the bases of what
should be their brain. Their out-
raged nerves shrink and quiver
under this barbarous exposure.
But no matter; their chests arc
well-covered with fur cloaks and
sacques but cold feet the numb
ears the roddened temples the ex-
posed neck will have their own
story to tell. Then you won't
wear flannel next the skin. Why?
Because your waists will look too
largo and it is the style to be as
near in shapclinebs to that delight
ful and lovely insect the wasp
as humanity can bo forced. Do
you really like to ache and groan
and to be laid aside every few days
with agonizing headaches or pant
ing. laboring hearts? Strange if
true!"
Grotsbikq Out Trees. 'Wherever
time is an object in clearm land
no stumps should be allowed. A
stump is unmanageable and 11 green
is quite as apt as not if cut in win
ter to send up suckers which will
keep tho roots alive and prolong the
nuisance indefinitely. Jut a tree
may be dug around with compara-
tively little labor and its top used
as a lever to turn its roots up out of
the ground. As the tree bends the
roots that adhere in the soil may be
cut with an old axe that need not be
very sharp for that purpose. "When
it lies on the ground hitch a team to
its top branches and twist the body
around so as to loosen more roots.
In this way a tree of moderate size
may be cheaply grubbed out. "When
tho hole made by excavating the
root is idled the whole may be plow
ed and seeded.
