Oo Not Let It Get Dirty and Dry a« It Will Be 8ure to Break, "There is nothing like leather." But there is nothing like knowing how to keep your leather goods in fine con­ dition, too. Leather is composed of a mass of fine tendrils, intimately inter­ locked and entwined. When in good, pliable condition, each tendril is ca­ pable cf much stretching. If allowed to become dry and hard, when the leather is subjected to a severe pull, the tendrils break Instead of stretching. But this does not mean that leather boots or harness should be kept soaked with oil or dressing. Elbow grease applied in quantity is better. "All dressings should be applied sparingly," is the sound advice of a saddlery concern. Black oil should always be used on black harness and not neatsfoot oil, as the latter will draw out the black dye and leave the harness brown. The black harness fats now on the market make excellent farm harness dressing. They contain Jbe "nourishment" accessary for keep­ ing the harness in good order. But first, all dirt should be washed off with luke warm water and ordinary soap. The black fat should then be applied with a cloth, given a short time to penetrate the leather and then rubbed dry with another cloth. Some make the mistake of oiling without unbuckling the harness. The parls that need nourishment most are under the buckles where the metal caused hardness and brittleness. If people would vary the holes of the harness occasionally it would last much longer. An ODjection to neatsfoot oil is that it inclines to wash off the beeswax from the stitches, leaving the bare thread, which then soon breaks. MISTAKE IN BUILDING. Poultry House Should Not Be Too Wide--A Case in Point. A Recently we saw a poultry breeder tearing down an apparently good poultry house. The house was built on the style of a semi-monitor top house (the kind that looks like a shed facing a shed, the front shed being lower than the back, which, as ordi­ narily built, has two or more windows across the top). The house in ques­ tion Is ad no windows in the back part, however, the owner thinking that a row «<f windows across the entire front of the first pen gave light enough to tlfc back. The house dimensions were 30x40 feet <&t was built double originally to save floor space, but after several years' trial, says Wallace's Farmer, the owner found it cheaper to tear <iown the house, leaving only a Bingle house, than to continue winter­ ing his hens in it, for the following reasons: A house 30 feet wide is too wide to allow the sunlight to pene­ trate to the back walls, as it must if the fowls are to be in perfect health. A house of this kind Sinless well-light- ed in both parts of the house by a row of toy windows is hard to ventilate. If tho roof leaks, as it will at times as the house grows older, the back part of the house becomes saturated with dampness and has not sufficient air and light to dry it thoroughly. A damp house smells bad, and will en- * courage tuberculosis. With the extra row cf windows conditions would have been bettered, but this plan of house is not the best for permanent house- "|ng of poultry. It does for temporary .'V.Quarters for stock, but should not be ::k ^bullt for the farm flock if best results are desired, because of the difficulty Of ventilating and lighting. Hogs in Confinement. Where hogs are kept in confine- * -jnent it is noticed that they crave j' - Joods like charcoal, ashes, rotten .wood. etc. It would seem as though Vfuch foods were of little value, for , .--jtrhen analyzed they show but slight -quantities of nutrition. Yet these foods are found to be excellent cor- ^ |«ctive3 for the hog's system, espe- ' \ «ially wtw* largo quantity 9t mm *r* fed, • .Jv/ , QUALITY OF MANUftg^ It lajfeaatiy Affected by the Which It l« Handled. ir-:: One important factor \s the care given the manure before it is applied to the land. The common way of throwing the manure out to a pile to be tramped in the mud by the stock and leached away by the rains is pro­ ductive of great loss of plant food. Besides, the fermentation in such a pile is destructive of nitrogen and hu­ mus. The Cornell station showed that horse manure thrown in an unshel­ tered pile lost in six summer months 42 per cent, of its fertilizing elements. The New Jersey station showed that solid and liquid manuri mixed lost by exposure in 109 days 51 per cent, of its nitrogen and phosphoric acid each and 61 per cent, of its potash. Such care is certainly wasteful and manure kept under such conditions connot give very large Increased yields. At the same time as the above experi­ ment the Cornell station piled some mixed manure so that fermentation went on* a^wly, but the pile was not sheltered frcyrn rain. Under such con­ dition the loss of constituents was 9.2 per cent. Another pile handled so that it dried without fermentation lost practically nothing. Prof. Frear of the Pennsylvania station showed that it was more economical by |2.50 per head in a period of six months to al­ low the manure from fattening steer's to accumulate under them for two months at a time than it was to clean the stables daily and deposit in the ordinary way. This saving does not consider the labor involved in haul­ ing the manure. The practice of al­ lowing the manure to accumulate for a time is a practicable one for loose stock if there be plenty of bedding to keep them clean and absorb the liquids. The constant tramping keeps the manure solid and fermentation goes on slowly. However, when the stock is taken off, the stable should be cleaned at once and the manure scattered, for there is soon a big loss cf nitrogen in the form of ammonia. The ideal way of handling manure is to remove it to the field every day and spread on the land, says the Farm­ ers' Review. In this way there is little loss by fermentation and what substance is leached out by rain is washed into the soil where it Is taken up by the roots, or re chemically combined with other minerals in the soil. For this purpose there is no better way than the using of a manure spreader. It will hold usually all the cleanings for a day and In some cases the cleanings of two or three days may be thrown into the spreader and then hauled out. Farmers everywhere have found the spreader an almost In­ dispensable tool. However, It is not always conven­ ient to haul out and spread every day. The ground is frequently too soft to go on with a team and wagon, and often the field on which It is wished to apply the manure Is occupied by a crop. Under such conditions it becomes nec­ essary to store the manure for some time. Few farmers will go to the expense of building a covered manure pit with cement sides and bottom into which the liquid and solid manure may be kept solid and damp, but every one could have a concave area with ce­ ment, or stiff clay, bottom, from which drainage would not take place. Into this the manure could be thrown In a rather deep pile, kept evenly spread, and packed down by the tramping of loose animals or otherwise. The tramping would prevent rapid fermen- tation and the rains would keep the pile sufficiently moist. It should be said in this connection that an effort should be made to save all the liquids by a liberal use of bedding. The liquids, weight for Weight, are twice as valuable as the Bolids. Whatever method is resorted to for storing, tho manure should be kept solid and damp and should be hauled to the field and scattered as soon as possible. It should be scattered at once and not be al­ lowed to lie In piles for a week or even months. It should be spread evenly over the ground and here again the spreader will come into good use. REVISITS SCENE OP CRIME. LOW DOWN WAGONS. One Farmer Who Finds Them Just the Thing for the Farmer. I would not be without my low down farm wagon for three times its cost, writes a correspondent of Or­ ange Judd Farmer. I am using mine neary every day, hauling feed of all kinds for cattle. They are handy about loading, handy in turning, as you can turn much shorter than can be dene done with a standard wagon. I have a steel wheel, wood axle and coupling. This combination makes a wagon that should last for 15 or 20 yoars. Of course, a low wheel wagon is not the thing for heavy hauling on bad roads. They are intended for farm purposes only. I would advise anyone on the farm to buy a low wagon with 4-inch tires and 3*4-Inch skein. Mine is a 3V&- inch skein, but that is too heavy. This kind of wagon will not cut up the field. The draft is bound to be heavier with a standard wagon. METHOD OF SHELLING CORN. Simple Device Which Will Do Rapid and Thorough Work. Where one does not have a regular sheller the best method of shelling corn that I have seen is to dri ve the edge of a fence plank full of nails, letting the heads extend out one-half or three-fourths of an inch. The plank Way Sheller is Made. can be laid across a tub or box and used as a seat, says Prairie Farmer, and the corn be shelled very rapidly by rubbing across it. Best Turkey Hens. * In the selection of bronr? turkeys for breeders, the body should bo long and deepest at the center, with a fall breast, bread back, strong thighs and shanks of moderate length. In young birds the shanks are a dead black, but they grow lighter with age, until they become of a pink. or fiesfe oolor. TturU^im Ghoet Story Told- : lieh Magazine, s En* This ghost story is contributed by a correspondent of an English maga­ zine: "Wycollar hall, near Colne, was long the scat of the Cunliffes, of Billlngton. They were noted persons in their time, but evil days came, and their ancestral estates passed out of their hands. In the days of the com­ monwealth their loyalty cost them dear; and ultimately they retired to Wycollar with a remnant only of their once extensive property. About 1819 the last of the family passed away, and the hall is now a mass of ruins. Little but the antique fireplace re­ mains entire, and even the room al­ luded to in the following legend can­ not be identified. Tradition says that once every year a specter horseman visits Wycollar hall. He Is attired in the costume of the early Stuart period, and the trappings of his horse are of a most uncouth description. "On the evening of his visit the weather is always wild and tempestu­ ous. There is no moon to light, the lonely roads, and the residents of the district do not venture out of their cottages. When the wind howls loud­ est the horseman can be heard dash­ ing up the road at full speed, and, after crossing the narrow bridge, h« suddenly stops at the door of the hall. The rider then dismounts and makes his way up the broad oaken stalra into one of the rooms of the house. Dread­ ful screams, as from a woman, are then heard, which soon subside into groans. The horseman then makes his appearance at the door, at once mounts his steed, and gallops off by the road he came. "His body can be seen through by those who may chance to be present: his horse appears to be wild with rage, and its nostrils stream with fire. The tradition is that one of the Cunliffes murdered his wife in that room, and that the specter horseman is the ghost of the murderer, who is doomed to pay an annual visit to the homo of his vic­ tim. She is said to have predicted the extinction of the family, which, accord­ ing to the story, has been literally ful­ filled." Youthful Sport. There is a certain western congress­ man, a golf enthusiast, who when he came to Washington for the first time was accustomed to get to the Chevy Chase club's links early in the morn­ ing, when there would be no one tc witness his lack of skill. On one occasion a caddie had fol lowed him to the tee and offered to go the course with him for the modest compensation of 50 cents. "I don't need you, my boy," said the representative, "I'll go it alone;" and as he spoke the westerner, making a tremendous swipe at the ball, missed it by a foot. "I'll go around with you for a quarter, sir," said the caddie. Again the amateur declined the cad­ die's attendance; and again he swung at the ball, with the same result. Til go with you for 15 cents," said the boy. This so rattled the newcomer that he made three more wild swings. The caddie, as he retreated a bit, called out: "Say, mister, won't you take me round for nothing? I'll go for the fufh of it."--Harper's Weekly. BEST EVER WRITTEN The Fringe of Art. Elihu Vedder, the noted painter, lives in Rome, where he has a beauti­ ful apartment, and in Capri, where hi^ white villa looks down on the sea. "Elihu yedder," said a New York illustrator the other day, "is as Bohe­ mian as ever. Fame has not spoiled him. I visited him last year, and his Bohemian ways were delightful. "You know they tell a story of a visit that he once paid to Alma Tade- ma in London, to Alma Tadema in that glittering house which Mrs. A. T'a money, made In grateful, comfort­ ing cocoa, bought. "The morning after his arrival, very early, before even the servants were up, Vedder began a thunderous knocking on his host's sandalwood door. "Alma Tadema turned in his gold bed, throw back the lace coverlet, sat up. "•Who's there? What Is it?' he cried in a startled voice. "I say, Tadema,' shouted Vedder, "where do you keep the scissors that you trim your cuffs with?' " Toothblacks. "Ae we have bootblacks so they've got toothblacks in the Sanda islands," said a traveling man. "What is a toothblack?" "Don't you know? A toothblack is an old woman with a pot of black paint, a gold leaf book, and a lot of vegetables brushes. From hut to hut she passes, and for a small fee-- a yam, a bunch of bananas, three cocoa- nuts--she paints the Sunda Islander's teeth a glistening black. All but the two front teeth; these she gilds. And the Sunda islander thereafter goes about with a self-conscious smile re­ vealing a truly knock-me-down dental display, a black and gold symphony. "It Is a common tjick amopg the semi-clvlllzed to color the teeth. In Macassar dark brown is the popular hue, and in Japan among the unen­ lightened classes, the teeth of wives are always painted black. "In such countries the toothblack Is an institution. She goes from house to house, as full of gossip as a barber." Philosophical, Indeed. Uncle Porter is very philosophical. I sympathized with his toothache and he said he was glad he wasn't an ele­ phant." "How funny!" "Then he said he had corns and bunions on both feet and I again of­ fered my sympathy." "Did he accept it?" "No; he said not to waste any sum- pathy, as he was only too glad he was not a centipede." "The idea? And did he tell you that he had rheumatism in every bone in his body?" "Yes, and when I "started to eliosr him he grinned and said he was as happy as a clam because he wasii t a shad with a couple of thousand bones." PRESCRIPT! oA WHICH ANYONE CAN EASILY MIX. 8akf to Promptly Overcome Kidney and Bladder Afflictions--Shake Staple ingredients Well in Bottle. Mix the following by shaking well in a bottle, and take in teaspoonfu] doses after meals and at bedtime: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. A prominent physician is the authority that these simple, harmless ingredients can be obtained at nom­ inal ^ost from any druggist even in the smaller towns. The mixture is said to cleanse and strengthen the clogged and inactive Kidneys, overcoming Backache, Blad­ der weakness and Urinary trouble of all kinds, if taken before the stage of Blight's disease. Those who have tried this say it pos­ itively overcomes pain in the back, clears the urine of sediment and regu­ lates urination, especially at night, curing even the worst forms of blad­ der weakness. Every man or woman here who feels tliat the kidneys are not strong or act­ ing in a healthy manner should mix this prescription at home and give it a trial, as it is said to do wonders for many persons. The Scranton (Pa.) Times was first to print this remarkable prescription, in October, of 1906, since when all thje leading newspapers of New York, Bos­ ton, Philadelphia, Pittsburg and other cities have made many announcements of it to their readers. Model Tor Rest of the Force. While Oil City cannot, perhaps, boast of being a strictly cold-water town, she can, we believe, lay claim to having among her residents the champion temperance man of the state, if not of the entire country. Not only has he never drank any kind of spiritous or malt liquors, but he has never allowed any tea, coffee, soup or any kind of milk to pass his lips since he was a child. He is a colored man, was born in slavery, and because his father frequently drank more whisky than was good for him, he re­ solved when a boy to never drink any­ thing but water. And he has reli­ giously kept the resolution. He is a rifember of the Oil City police force, and his name Is Major Franklin.-- Oil City (Pa.) Blizzard. To Err Is Human. Robert Browning once found him­ self at a dinner, at a great English house, sitting next to a lady who was connected with the highest aristoc­ racy. She was very graciously in­ clined, and did her utmost to make conversation. "Are you not & poet?" she finally asked. "Well," said Browning, "people are sometimes kind enough to say that I am." "Oh. please don't mind my having mentioned it," the duchess hastened to say, with the kindest of smiles. "You know Byren and Tennyson and others were poets." Pat Was Going Some. . An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotchman were one day arguing as to which of the three countries pos­ sessed the fastest trains. "Well," said the Englishman, "I've been in one of our trains and the telegraph poles have been like a hedge." "I've seen the milestones appear like tombstones," said the Scot. "Be jabbers," said Pat, "I was ohe day in a train in my country, and we passed a field of turnips and a field of carrots, also a field of cabbage and parsley, then a pond of water, and we were going that quick I thought it was a broth." No Decoration Required. It was Mr. Hobart's first experience with waffles, and he liked the taste of them. When he had been served twice, he called the waiter to him and spoke confidentially. "I'm from Pokeville," he said, "and we're plain folks there; don't care much for style, but we know- good food when we get it. I, want another plateful o' those cakes, but you tell the cook she needn't xstop to put that fancy printing on 'eni; just send 'em along plain."--Youth's Companion. HER "BEST FRIEND.'* A Woman Thus Speaks of Postum. We usually consider our best friends those who treat us best. Some persons think coffee a real friend, but watch it carefully awhile and observe that it is one of the meanest of all enemies for It stabs one while professing friendship. Coffee contains a poisonous drug-- caffeine--which injures the delicate nervous system and frequently sets up disease in one or more organs of the body, if its use is persisted in. "I had heart palpitation and nerv­ ousness for four years and the doctor told me the trouble was caused by coffee. He advised me to leave it off, but I thought I could not," writes a Wis. lady. "On the advice of a friend I tried Postum Food Coffee and it so satis­ fied me that I did not care for coffee after a few days' trial of Postum. "As weeks went by and I continued to use Postum my weight increased from 98 to 118 pounds, and the heart trouble left me. I have used it a year now, and am stronger than I ever was. I can hustle up stairs without any heart palpitation, and I am cured of nervousness. "My children are very fond of Post­ um and It agrees with them. My sis­ ter liked -it when she drank it at my house, but not when she made it at her own home. Now she has learned to make it right, boil it according to directions, and has become very fond of.it. You may use my name if you wish, as I am not ashamed of praising my best friend--Postum." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to Wellvllle," in pkga.

Picturesque People That Are Found hi the Philippines. Among the wild tribes to be found In the Philippines are the Bogobos, the most picturesque people in the tropics. Their origin is unknown, and all sorts of opinions have been expressed concerning them. One tale told of them Is that their first ances­ tors were all poets and musicians, and that the dislike for the practical which is always noticeable among them has come down through the gen­ erations. Those that have taught among the Bogobos say that given a song or a poem to learn and they will study and dream over it for hours, but give the Bogobo a problem in arithmetic and he immediately becomes ill and wants to go home. Living at Santa Cruz, in the Davao district, is Miss Benedict, a Chicago university woman, who is collecting S everything peculiar to the Bogobo.
