MOVABLK HtMilint'SK. |cureful rouBidcratinu before b« puts much oinoey in n large house. When disease oon* strikes a herti iu anch n bnuae, the problem of thoroughly disiii- (eotiug the building heronies a serious one. M serious that but u few farmers possess the skill to accomplish it. It is also known that the weather, air. sunshine, rain and snow are the best disinfectants that we ran comuiand. If we oaii ronstmet buildings an that we can expose every part, inside and nut. to the weather, we are iu better shape to ward off disease, and if once caught nan the sooner start again.

lu our exjierieoee I have concluded that a small house, easily haudled. large enough for nue sow when she farrows, or for several shotes or feeiiers, according to size, IS much belter than a large, permanent hnnae. The cuts show the bonae we use. The first represents the house as in use for all weather, except when a sow farrows in zero weather, when we cover the linuse with straw or fodder to make it nbeolutely safe against the frost and cold that destroy young pigs so quickly. The second shows the house enverrd with huudled fcslder. Btraw will answer as well, or even fnwb stable manure pileil around the bouse to one-balf its height.

The most convenient size for the house IS n feet square. The sills shoulil be talk or other durable wood of 2 by rt «ir 'J by 8 inch stuff. The rafters, of 2 liy 4 inch material, are cot 8 feet Inug. thre** on a side. If the mot is to be of plank, Ibe best quality of ronbug plank nboold lie ose<|, and tbe joints carefully covered ^ with stripe. If to be of metal, tbe sheathing should be of inatcbeil lumber. The ends, excepting tbe doorway, should be of inatrhiii lumber Wheu the ftame is put together, it should be spiked and nailed us securelv as fxissible. The lumber used 111 constrnrtinn, except Ibe •ills, should be of ligbl material. This is best to make it easily handled, and being light it will not rack to pieces so easily. Another point must not lie forgotten—the bouse must be us tight its it can be made, us all the air tieedeil can be bad through the d«>nrwny. The liesi door when one is medeil is n fertilizer sack, or something of that kind, fasten' ed above the dis rway and allowed Ic hangover it. This is always cbmeil, and then' Is no danger nr risk attarheil to its use, NS tliere would be In a wooden door. The sow ami pigs soon learn to push It in or out, as occasion reniree.

It is only III extreme cold weather that any door is iieeiliil. We always have the house st t with the dtsirway in theiiirection from winch ctmiesthe least wind When the bnusi' is made as tight as it should he. the wind driving in at tbe door will affivt them but little at any rate.

vary partial to paanuu," remarkad a large paanut plantar in Virginia to tha writer recently, "for there are nearly 4,(100.000 boahals of them consumed In tbe United States annually. Before the civil war the peanut wax only a holiday luxury to the majority of tbe people living in tbe north, the day when tbe circus was tn town, during tbe country fair and the great and glorious Fourth of July being the prin* cipal occasions that the popular yearn* Ing for the nut was In any measure sal* Isfled. The product then amounted to barely 500.000 bushels a year.

“At tbe close of the war when the soldiers returned north thousands of them had cultivated such a liking for the nut. which they had often pulled from the ground and roasted at their rampflrea while In Virginia. Tennessee and North Camllna. that the crop then raised in these statee didn’t begin to supply tbe demand. Wideawake farm* era saw tbe point, and small, garden patches where peanuts had been grown for Reneratlons were soon abandoned for broad fields, and to-day Virginia and North Carolina are growing 4,- (lOo.oOU bushels of peanuts a year—a result due almost entirely to tbe civil war and the habit the federal troops contracted of eating large quantities of tbe nuts. Naturally, the returned soldiers’ demand for peanuts placed them within reach of the rnral population in tbe north, and the nut soon ceaned to be a holiday luxury.

“When the war broke out moat of tbe peanuts consumed In this country were raised In North Carolina. A great many were also Imported from Africa. They were of Inferior quality. In fact, tbe best antebellum peanuts were poor compared with the nuts grown to-day. But tbe demand for the nuts In recent years has not bad tbe effect of Improving tbe .North Carolina product or increasing Its yield to any great extenL Virginia and Tenneaaee, however, woke right up under the increased demand, and improved cultivation has produced a nut, especially in Virginia, that la as near perfect aa It can be.

"I don’t suppose there are many people who know that the peanut a-ame to this country with the first cargo of slaves that were landed on our shores. It la a native of Afrtct, and tn its original state as full of grease almost us a bit of pork. Cultivation and change of soil have greatly reduced the oleaginous quality of tbe nut, although the North Carolina variety has enough grease yet to find a ready sale In France, where It Joins Its African ancestor and cottonseed In supplying not a little of the olive oil we find In the restaurants and family groceries. .Norfolk. Va., la the greatest peanut center In the world, and handles annually {Oi'i.oOO liags. or S.IXKi.OOO bushels.

“It Is a pretty sight to see a |»eanut plantation when the vines are tn blossom. Tbe blossoms are a bright yellow and the vines are a vivid green. As soon aa the blossom .iptiears a line branch forms on the vim- and shoots down Into the ground. The peas, as the nuts are called oin the plantation, form on the shoot beneath the ground, like potatoes. When the crop is gathered In October the vine Is plotigheil up, and the nuts hang to the riaits. Vines and all are plied In cocks In the field, and in twenty days the huts are ready to be pulled off, placed in bags and taken tn tbe factories. There they are cleansed of dirt, assorted, polished In revolving cylinders and put into bags ready for the market.”

“Hut you’ve just said that 1 have a mlky dtspoaitioa. sad that tlmt sccouats fm my haring so many little tiffs with Dick,” pro- Icwtcd oae of tbe yoaag asatroas. “sad I kaow I’la not all of those tbiags."

“Aad you biotcd that I have occaasoaal (Its of Bulks," remarked tbs other aewly- msmtsl girl, in an obêctins tone.

"True enough,” aaswered tbe woman of tbe world, with s knowing Isugfa. "I did anv and hint tboae thfngs, si^ 1 meant them. We've lieeo here logelher in tbu hotel for ■ix weeks now, and I do not make my charges without good reasons. There’s no place like a Biuamcr hotel for «hBCovcnug the wenkueane* of womsii nature, sod Itolh of you are .alky women. How I’ve pitird yuur huBbands and do pity them and absll continue to |Mty them unless you nd yourself of Uie Bulking iiabit."

“Hut everybody myt that Dick and I arc the most devoted couple here,*' interrupted one of tbe matrons.

“No, they say that Ned and 1 are,” ia- sistMl the other.

“Of course, you are both devoted couples.’’ went on the elderly woman, buti- ly, “but ail the same you two women sulk, and so do tune-tenths of tbe women in this hotel, and the world over, for that matter. If I were a man, engagrtl to s young woman, and diM-overed that she bad s sulky disposition, I should first try to break her of tbe tendency, and if I couldn't do that rrHueuk tbe engagement. Men srrn’t often justitied in breaking a lietrothal (neither are wum- FO, mind you), but they’d be in that rase. Sulky women cause more friction in home life tiisn any other kind of disagreeable wives. .Sulkiness grows on one. It’s such an insidious trait, or, as I believe, disease. It takes iwFsaion of the mind liefore one is aware of its presence, and can only be mnil by the exercise of strong will power and reason."

“What makes you think I sulk?” asked Dick’s wife.

“N\*hy, I’ve eeen you have 40 fits of sulks since I’ve lieen here. You never sulk with anyone but your husitand, and how you can sulk with him is beyond me. Hut tiisl is a peculiarity of one Alfiirtcd with sulkiness. The iMtient often makes the one she loves Itest of all the nctim of her attacks. Per haps it is because the sulks render one a bit cruel, and she enjoy* seeing him suffer.

“Soon after you msrnetl Dick you made up your minil not to like his family. Hr hod always liecn a devoted sou, and hul almost taken a husliand's ami a father's place in his fstberiesB home. Instead of your encour aging him to keep on in the same way you conceived an intense miuginsp' dulike for his family, and every time he goes to sec them, does anything for them, even mentions them, you have u fit of sulka. You shut up like a clam; you frown; you will not speak, iniile or in any way shoiv anv interest in what your husband oaya or does for hour*

“I’ve watrhed it all over and over. He is siways so gentle and patient, but 1 warn you that one of these *iiik\ tils of yonra wears him out. ’tnzzie*’ him completely, and if you keep them up you will drive him from you. How Would you fee] if iJiek ailed touani vour famiiy a* you do towaril his? Put Ui« shoe on the other foot an' and iiurreat aa a (.'hmese god when you men- tiomd your family?

“You my that sulkineva gmwa on one?” asked Xctl'* wife, lo .i »iil*lue«l voice.

“It most assun-ilh doe*.’’ an*werc«l the woman of the wnrid. “Kun over your at <|uaintaneen of middle-aged and elderly women and think how many of them indulge in sulks, liver luUf? Yes. I thought you'd find It so.

“I used tn Ite a great sulkrr myself, hut I wns completely rurrti hy my husband during the first year of our roamed life. At first when I li«d a fit of sulks he’d pet and rt'ddle and humor and lieg for forgiveness when he hadn’t done anything, and ail this onli made me iiiort- sulky, mode me love to exhibit ray (tower over him more vigorously. Suddenly iie tm <1 a new plan. If he left roe sulky in the morning lie came home to lunclienn in a state of sulkiness that out- raatciied mine. If I sulketl in tbe afternoon he sulked aJI evening, and the result was that there wsaa’t a minute when one or the other of us wasn’t sullenly siicnt, sonr or obstinate.

“.It the end of a week I’d cned myself siek, thought of gittiug a divorec. of returning home, even of suicide, when it sud- lieniy lUshrd over iny mind that half of the trouble was my fault, and I went and told him so. He fuidnl inc in hia arms and said that it hod near.y killed him to lie suiky, Imt tliat he had to do it to bniig me to my aeoses. The plan worked I have never sulked a minute from that day to this.”

“For heaven’s sake don’t ever tell Ihrk that story,” pleaded Dick’s wife. “I’ll stop of ray own serord.”

"Awl so will I,” declared Mrs. Ned. "C'ome to think of il, sulkinese is the hardest of all States tn put iqi with, and ray only wonder i± that men stand sulky woaoen as wull as they do.”—N. Y. .Sun.

Tlii* is the story ot Klien Brewer. Life is not meskuird hy the years we live, but by th«- deed* which crowd thoo*- yeari.

tgan legialalure ha* abut up ahop un* til next Tueaday, that ia. ao far aa tbe actual making and unmaklnx of law* Is concerned, and the members are Juat at present engaged In lh«* equally Im* (•ortant busineas of familiarising them* aelvea with the condiliona and needa yf the varioua aiate liutltutlona ao that they may lie In poaltlon to vote Intelligently on bill* concerning them. When it ia rellec-ted that not lo exceed one In ten of the leglalalur* have ever vlalted more than one or two of these inatitution* the dealrahlllty of a vlalt of this kind will be the better appreciated

The vlaltors to the upper peninsula are the «ine* who will have their eye* opened tin mtiat, for acart-ely any of them have ever liefore traveled north of the Straits of .Mackinac, and the vast resource* ami Interests of the state In that territory ha* lieen a closr<l book to them. That section of the state demands a great deal at the handa of the leglaialors and the state can well afford to have the latter reasonably w«-ll posted, so that they will he able to give the**- demand* proper attention.

The Uudivy Tamalivn Blit.Tbe adjournment of the legislature

last Friday saw another lm|>oriant change In the ■Ituatlon relative to the question of taxation in uhleh all the people of the state are ao greatly In- ter>*sted. As matter now stand the so- called anti-administrutlnn tax bill ham been |>laced ahead of the Cheever-At- klnaun bill which la not to be reported until Feb. S. It uaa a quick ‘'hange which landed the former measure on the general order where It will have preceflence when that onler Is next rea<h«d Therr.mmlitee •n general taxation had le-en In iHtssesslun of the measure but a very brief time, but Chairman Dudley, who Intnduced the bill, surceofled In having It re|>orted with the refommendallun that It be passed, and lo.uoo . opiea of It were ordered printed fur distribution throughout the slate

The administration I* already preparing to right the Dudley bill to a tln- lah. This measure is an exact ropy of the bill lntro<luced In the senate by Senator Clraham, and in view of the prominence It haa obtained and the fact that It will form the l>aala of the fight against the ('heever-Atktnann bill. It is lmi>ortant that the pe«>ple of the ■tate understand what Its proviston* are. The friends of the bill claim that It does all that will be accomplished by the administration bill, and much more. It provides for th* assessment and levy of taxes upon the property of railroad, express, telegraph and telephone companies, and for the assessment. levy and colleetlon of taxes upon the shares of stock in all other corporation* organised under the state, and In banks organised under the laws of the TTnIted Htates. The rate of taxation provided la the same aa In the Cheever-Atkinson bill and the revenue derived Is to Ite devoted to the same purpose, going Into the primary achool fund The rate provided Is the average rate of taxation In the state, which Is alKiut 2.8 per cent. The hill, which Is very volumlnoua. provides for a l>oard of assessors to conslat of the secretary of state, state treasurer, auditor general and two to be elected.

FrineipsI Chaage* Haoght.In this It differs from the Cheever-

Atkinson bill, which provides for the appointment of the two civilian assca- aura by the governor. The principal changes sought arc as follows:

1. All persons subject to asoeesment must make a sworn statement of their property on blanks to be furnished by the board of assessors.

L The exemptions are materially reduced. being, outside of the exempt- tloDs of the property of religious and charlta.ble Ituititutlons, t2& for each householder.

8. All other corporations than those named In the ('heever-Atklnson are taxed on the cash value of their shares of stock, after deducting the value of tbe real estate, which Is to be taxed aa other real estate.

4. The tax Is payable In the county In which the i-orporallon la locatsd.

These are all the change* contemplated In the general tax law, and ths system of railroad taxation Is the same as provided In the Cheever-Atkinson. except only in the composition of the board of aasssaora.

The object of tbe bill to declared by Its friends to be to put all the property of tbe state on a basts for the purpose

• of aoaeaament, to get on the tax rolls ' a large amount of property that now escapaa taxation altogether, and to give the aaeeseing board adviaory control of all aoaessing offleers In tbe state so that the som** minds that assess the value of the corporations named In the Cbaever-Atkinson bill may superviae the oanesatnent of all other property In the state upon which the rate of taxation provld^ for to computed. Tbe state board. It will be observed from tbe above, to charged with the duty of exeretoing advtaory control over all aa- BooBlng oMrers in tbe stnte. nnd of toeing tbnt tbe noneonment laws are enforced.

(totoottao* r»wM CNUss.One of the prtncipni object iom mad# to

the anti-admlntetmtton MU comes from the Mtlea It to that the Mil will take all the vast property of oorporailons from the tooal tax rolla, and by patting the taxes paM thsmen In the pn- mnry arhoel fand will lanve tbe other pi nperty at the Httoe to make vp this great deltcteney. la Detroit thia pton iroald take mlllloae of deUnra froafi the toeal tax rolla. and at tha eatoe time It wooM Increaet the rale of taxation lo be pnM by these oerperatlene rally oHe-tbtrd. for the tax rate of Detroit Is cMMedad by the aeirai rate ef the Plato hr awre than M par mmL Mtm

beavieet the taxpayers are called upon to pay. the fact that tbe Mil would la- rroaor tbe revenue ai-nltoble for the support of the arhuolo. would. In a measure, at Isuat. overrome tbe first objection cited.

The question Is a great one. and the ’ people of the state appear to be devoting considerable time to Its conaMer- atlon. The governor propoaes to have aomethinx lo say about th* Dudley bill,

i and the people will doubtless hear from him before the legislature reconvenes.

I Heveral somewhat unusual matters ' were presented to the legislature on tbs ^ day of adjournment, and all are still to be acted upon. One of them to, per-

I haps, the moat unique bill that will be presented to th* legislature this ses-

i Sion. It was prefiared by Kepresenta- I live Tasiman of Livingston, and seeks j to make men discharge the highest duty lieiialning to cttlsenship. The bill pro-

I vide* a iienalty for neglect nr refusal I on the i>art of a qualified elector to vote at any township, city, county or state

I election The penalty provided to a fine I of 8100 and tmprtsnnment In the county jail for ten <laya. and the only persons who ran escape It are electors who arc either sick or absent from home on election day, or who have passed TO years of age. It to not a pleasing commentary un our Institution* that any one has seen the necessity for such a law. but then* are few who will seriously contend that If electors will not wllilnxly go to the polls they should not he made to do so.

Anti-l'oIjrgaMtyr Hill.The other measures referred to have

to do with the antl-|Htlygainy agitation that Is sweeping over th ecountrv’ just at present, one of them Is a concurrent resolution, which was offered by Itepresentative ('haml>erlaln of Kala- masoo, and which expresses the judg-

' ment that the seating of Congresaman- { Klect Itoberts of Ttah would be "In conflict with all those standards of high

I clvlllxaiion for which our nation star.ds I and an offense to the good rltlxenshlp of I the nation and contrnr)' to sound pui>-

I will reach enormous figures In th*I course of a year. The present bounty I to 1 rvnt a |Mtund. ,ind Itepresentative I McCall of Katon has given notice of a I bill to reduce this to 4 cent. The bill also c-ontemplales taking the duty of administering the law from th* commissioner of the state iand office and placing If upon the secretary of state. The reason for the latter amendment to

i not apitarent and In all proliabllity no I good reason exists.

Considerable excitement his heencre- ! ated among the legislators from the rural districts by a hill providing for the condemnation of rights of way for telephone lines across private property. At present these lines are required to be built along th<- highways, hut parties who are Intersted In an exchange projected In the rpper Peninsula have had Introduced this bill. They Insist that their sole desire Is to fix things so that they can extend their lines across territory along which there to no highway often for a distance of thirty miles or more. In order to reach desired points It to absolutely neceasary that they crooB these vast tracts of private land, and the hill providee that In case th* parties cannot agree upon a prio-t for this right of way. the way may be condemned just as Is don* In caaes of railroads The farmers aee In th* bill, however, an opening to force a right of way six feet wide across their lands whether adjacent to highways or not. If the companies concluda to emas. for the law doe* not apply to any particular part of the state and will affect southern Michigan, with Its nuaemua highways. as well as the sections of the Upper Penlnsuia where no highways exist.

The same thinga might just as well liarebeen written to seme one elaa But she keeps the letter that refera to tha dainty pink and wbita springtime bloa- aotna—and heraalf. Whyf Oh, wall, that to just a woman's way 1 Maybe down In her heart she lores the one who saenriateo her with tha beauty ol the apiingtlme. Maybe aometlnae she will tell him how happy she was to know that she, and she alone, floated thmugh hla day dreams as he watched the tender white wind Ilowera nodding on their alawdar aSema and the peiala of the apple bkwanma falling down like loot fairy wings to the ground. And maybe that ho will nover know that a bit uf sentiment unlocked the woman's heart. Men. you know, are aomattmea very stupid.— Margarei lUuinls In Mt. Louis He- public.

McCormick McCormick

NO name in more familiar to the farmen of Clinton county than the name IVIcComilck, neither in the familiarity and popularity of

thiH name confined to Clinton county, to Michigan or even to the Tnited Stiiten, but in known in every land where grain and

grutiH is grown. History records that Cyrus Hall McCormick was the in- vent<»r of the first grain and grass cutting machinery. For 66 3^MU*5 of con

tinuous manufacturing of one line of gof>ds the name ricComiick has never

licen associated with a failure. He never has ex|>erimented at the farmers* expense, that is done at flcCormick's expense. He was never comfielled to confess after the close of one harvest and before the commencement of another that a McCormick binder was found lacking in capacit3',

consequent^* had grown a few inches (between August and December.)

Beware of ex|icriiiients and failures and cheap job lot machines. Your onh*

safety in the future lui in the past is to buy the McCormick. Last week was a banner week for taking McCormick orders.
