The margin neces sary between buying and selling prices to prevent loss from fattening I cattle on a bulky ration was $1.23 per. hundredweight, and on concentrated ration $1.68 per hundredweight. The difference in margin necessary for feeding in the shelter experiment was 17.2 cents per hundredweight in favor of outdoor feeding. ^ Feeding Corn. Corn should be fed with judgment.{ Old corn is better than 'new, and therel is a loss In the crib while waiting for ~prices togo up, as corn dries some the older It gets. Corn that is smutty or moldy should not be put in the crib, as It Is Injurious to all kinds of stock, producing a diisease styled by some the "stomach staggers.'' If smutty corn is placed in the crib with sound corn, there is a possibility of the: ound corn being affected. Thesa rule applies' to corn fodder; us -only that which is clean and -e from blemish. WThen cattle rgetuse certain -s of corn fodder tko~ chances are here is-somemlag wrong w ith It. The silo is the sign of prosperity. Choleral usually affects the younger pigs and hogs first. A mud hole Is not absolutely neces sary in a hog pen. Feeding for fat Is a business, b.ut some men go about it as though it was play. Frozen alfalfa may kill a hog as well as a cow or horse. It is usually indigestible. Corn lays fat on a hog, but the best and sweetest meat is made by a va riety of feeds. If the hogs are dying and the cause. cannot be found, have an expert hold a post mortem. At present prices, It will pay well to have as many houses as there are sizes of pigs in the herd. If ever the rams needed a little ex Itra attention by way of nourishing food and extra room, It Is now. A thorough wetting in a cold rain Iwill take off a bunch of sheep the gain of a wee-k's feeding. That's waste. The man who allows his cattle to pick their corn out of the mud cer tainly has a great deal of faith in na ture's aid to a lazy farmer. A heater to supply water for 50 head of cattle can be put in for less han $20. and it will pay for itself in a week of very cold' weather. If you allow the young stock to bump around among the older and stronger members of your herds you ny expect the little fellows to get cheated. A hog needs twice the air space in proportion to his size than does the horse or the cow. yet he cannot stand one-half of the exposure to the wind and weather. Try building a tight board fence on the Lorthi side of the feed lot and make of it one side of the feeding rack. This gives shel-er and feed at the same time. ts ponr b-s'S ts feteria: It ditog: The harmless customer leaned across the cigar counter and smiled engagingly at the new cashier. As he handed across the amount his dinner check called for he ventured a bit of aimless converse, for he was of that sort. "Funny," said he, "how easy it Is to spend money." "Well," snapped the cashier as she led his fare to the register, "if money was intended for you to hold on to the mint would be turning out coins with handles on 'em." Had Money in Lumps. Charles H. Rosenberg of Bavaria had lumps on his shoulders, elbows, and hips when he arrived here from Hamburg on the Kaiserin Auguste Vic toria. In fact, there was a series of smaller himps along his spine, much like a mountain range, as it is present ed on a bas-relief map. The lumps were about the size of good Oregon apples, and as Rosen berg passed before the Immigration -Ioctor for observation, the doctor said softly to himself, "See that lump." Then he asked Mr. Rosenberg to step aside. "You seem like a healthy man," said the doctor, "but I cannot pass you until I know the origin of those lumps on your body." "Ah, it is not a sick ness," laughed the man from Bavaria. "Those swellings is money." Taking off his coat he broke open a sample lump and showed that It con tained $500 in American bank notes. He informed the doctor that he had $11,000 in all, with which he was go ing to purchase an apple orchard in Oregon. He was admitted to the country. New York Tribune. . Why He Laughed. Miss Mattie belonged to the old south, and she was entertaining a guest of distinction. On the morning following his arrival she told Tillie, the little colored maid, to take a pitcher of fresh water to Mr. Firman's room, and to say that Miss Mattle sent him her compliments, and that if he wanted a bath, the bathroom was at his service. When Tillie returned she said: "I tol' him, Miss Mattie, en' he Aaughed fit to bus' hisself." "Why did he laugh, Tillie?" "I dunno." "What did you tell him?" "Jus' what you tol' me to." "Tillie, tell me exactly what you said." "I banged de doah, and I said, 'Mr. Firman, Miss Mattie sends you her lub, and she says, 'Now you can get up and wash yo'selfI"-Lippincott's Mag azine. Where He Was Queer. The negro, on occasions, displays a fine discrimination In the choice of words. "Who's the best white-washer i town?" Inquired the new resident. "Ale Hall am a bo'nd a'tist with a whitewash brush, sah," answered the colored patriarch eloquently. "Well, tell him to come and white wash my chicken house tomorrow." Uncle Jacob shook' his head dubi ously. ,-f h der believe, ~ah, ah'd engage le Hall to whitew sh a chicken ouse, sah." "Why, didn't you saA he was a good whitewasher?" "Yes, sah, a powe'fi good white washer, sahi; but mighty queer about a chicken house, sah, m ghty queer!" - -Mack's National Montb,1y.

Thanks to Burnt Cork. "Gosh! But the colored race is a comin' to the front fast!" whispered innocent Uncle Hiram, at the vaude ville show, as the black-face comedian was boisterously applauded. "Yes, indeed," smiled the city man; "anyone can see that that fellow is a self-made negro." '. Lo, the Rich Indian. The per capita wealth of the Indian is approximately $2,130, that for other Americans is only a little more than $1,300. The lands owned by the In dians are rich in oil, timber and other natural resources of all kinds. Some of the best timber land in the United States is owned by Indians. The value of their agricultural lands runs up in the millions. The ranges which they possess support about 500, 000 sheep and cattle, owned by lessees, bringing in a revenue of more than $272,000 to the various tribes besides providing feed for more than 1,500,000 head of horses, cattle, sheep and.goats belonging to the Indians themselves. Practically the only asphalt deposits In the United States are on Indian 'lands.-Red Man. No Slang for Her. "Slip me a brace of cackles!" or dered the chesty-looking man with a .bored air, as he perched on the first stool in the lunchroom. "A what?" asked the waitress, as she placed a glass of water before him. "Adam and Eve flat on their backs! A pair of sunnysiders!" said the young man in an exasperated tone. "You got me, kid," returned the waitress. "Watcha want?" "Eggs up," said the young man. "'E-g-g-s,' the kind that come before the hen or after, I never knew which." "Why didn't you say so in the first place?" asked the waitress. "You'd a had 'em by this time." "Well, of all things-" said the young man. "I knew what he was drivin' at all the time," began the waitress as the young man departed. "But he's one of them fellers that thinks they can get by with anything. He don't know that they're using plain English now in restaurants." The League of Politeness. *The L'eague of Politeness has been formed in Berlin. It aims at inculcat ing better manners among the people of Berlin. It was founded upon the initiative of Fraulein Cecelie Meyer, who ,was inspired by an existing or ganization in Rome. In deference to the parent organization the Berlin league has chosen the Italian motto, "Pro gentilezza." This will be em blazoned upon an attractive little medal worn where Germans are ac customed to wear the insignia of or ders. The idea is that a glaance at the "talisman" will annihilate any in clination to indulge in bad temper or discourteous language. "Any polite person" is eligible for membership.

How One Learnea. The mother of a family of three mall children was discussing their :omparative precocity with a friend. 'John was very slow at everything," ;he said, referring to her oldest. "Tom vas a little better, and Edith, the )aby, is the smartest of all. She picks ip everything quick as can be." Master John, who had been listen ng, now contributed his share of the :onversation. "Humph!" he exclaimed. "I know rhy her learns so quick. It's 'cause ier has us and we didn't have us." Economy. The late former Governor Allen D. candler of Georgia was famous in the south fbr his quaint humor. "Governor Candler," said a Gaines ville man, "once abandoned cigars for L pipe at the beginning of the year. Ele stuck to his resolve till the year's end. Then he was heard to say: "'By actual calculation, I have saved by smoking a pipe Instead of :igars this year $208. But where Is It?', Moslem Traditionis. Ramadan is the month exalted by Sloslems above all others. In that nonth the Koran-according to Mos em tradition-was brought down by ;abriel from heaven' and delivered to nen in small sections. In that month, Kiohammed was accustomed to retire rom Mecca to the cave of Hira, for ;rayer and meditation. In that month Abraham, Moses and other prophets -eceived their divine revelations. In :hat month the "doors of heaven are Llways open, the passages to hell are ;hut, and the devils are chained." So -un the traditions.--The Christian lerald. A Medical Compromise.
