"So he's gone at last, has he?" said
my wiie, wnn r nine, p/quam* elevation
of her pretty brows. *'1 began to
think he was somehow gifted with immortality."
"Dead at last,' said J. "And what
do yon think, Jennv? He has left us
$100."
"A hundred dollars!" echoed my
wife, clasping her hands together.
"Ok! Charles?a $100!"
Now all this may sound like a twopence-half-penny
sort of affair to some
of my readers, as I am vbry well aware.
j% Bnt as I am only a clerk on a salary of
' $900 a year?a $100 <^.riftin^? as it
were, out of the sky, seemed a very j
neat little sum to me.
Jenny and I were both young people,
just beginning the world, with
no particular ricbes, except one applecheeked
baby. Jenny did her own !
work, made my shirts and cut and
fitted her own dresses. I walked to
and from business every day to save
the 20 cents omnibus fares. We did
? our best to make both ends meet?
and a tight pull we found it
||t'i So that you will easily see that this
| $100 bill represented considerable
? more to us than its more face value! <
Old Uncle Moses Manson was mor\tally
offended when his niece, Jenny
Clifford, chose to marry me instead of !
Bfi * wizened, bespectacled, old contemporary
of his own He had never
spoken to her since, aid we naturally J
entertained no very exalted hopes of
^ J any testamentary recollections on his j
Epatt. And the 3100 Dili, tnereiore,
SH possessed the charm of sq agreeable 1
surprise into the bargain. 3
figf ^'Charlie, "said Jenny, nhder her '
breath, "what shall we do with it?"
**That is the very question," said L
"Do you know, Jenny "
I hesitated a little here. j
"Yes?" she responded, interrogans
"Every fellow $i the bank, except
me, ha3 a gold watch. I've been
ashamed *of thit old silver concern
;v." more than once. And Seymour has a
nice second-hand one for sale that he
wili let me have for $29 if?"
- '"And turn the $100 into a mere i
useless ornament!" cried Jenny, with
SI a strong accent of disapprobation in i
-.her voice. "Charley, that isn't a bit
;e yon."
"Well, then, what do you sugSET
"I should so like to give a social
rty with it," said Jenny, coaxingly.
)nly think how often we've been in:ed
since we were married, and
ver havo had a chance to return any 4
the hospitalities of onr friends. '
is musicians, ihe supper, and all,
mld.eome within the $100."
"And yon are absurd enough to 3
sh to eat, and drink, and dance up
mm like that!" IcHecL "No, no, 1
nnette, it is entirely out of the 4
estion." j
"A new velvet suit for the baby?" 4
ggested Jenny, pouting a little at 4
i emphasis of my words. <
"How wonld it correspond with the 4
it of onr surroundings?" I asked, 1
t without an accent of bitterness. 4

should*like a sealskin jacket!" I
?"Jenny," said I, somewhat disgusted,
"J had no idea you con) d be (
fcoUelfish.'" j
Jenny colored and tossed her head. '
"Selfish, indeedP' cried she. "I i
would Hke to know whether you have <
yet suggested anything which was not
fo; your own speeial benefit and use!" <
We were both silent. I don't sup- ]
pose either of us had felt so vindic- i
tive before, sinoe our marriage. Clearly,
the $100 bill had worked no great <
benefit as yet i

V "let's compromise Let's bay a new j

'C 41 don't care very much for new i

haven't had a silk dress since we were ]

'1 believe a woman's thoughts are 1
always running on dress," muttered <
I, somewhat contemptuously. "I'm
sure that black alpaca of yours is j
feZ beautiful."
Wi}, 4 That*s all yon know about the j
</ - matter," said Jenny, elevating her ;
nose. "Well, I don't care. Spend
the money as you choose. Only, Uncle
Moses was my relative."
"And the money was left to me,
Mrs. Evarts," said L
Jenny looked at me with her eyes
full of tears.
iSft "Oh, Charles," said she, 44how can
|Z , J(A apeak to me so?"
44Because I'm a brute, Jenny,"said
f-. If hilly rdelted. 44Forgive me, and
'U tk* ruiky, rvlr? Kill into

the fire before we'll let it scatter the
seeds of division between us."
"No, Charley, don't do that," said
Jenny laughing through her tears.
"Let's?put it in the savings bank."
'Agreed," said I, sealing the bargain
with one of onr old-fashioned
kisses. "And apropos of savings
.banks, did I tell yon abont Greene?"
"Na What about Greene?"
/ Why, he and his wife have just
moved into the prettiest little Gothic
cottage you ever saw, just the other
side of the Harlem bridge, with a
lawn and a garden, and space to keep
little Alderney cow."
"Rented it?"
"No, bought it"
> "Why, Charles how can that be? !
Greene has only two or three hundred j
a year more than you, and it takes !
money to bny places in the country."
"All savings banks, my dear," said
J* "Greene tells me that he and his
. wife have been saving up for years,
with special reference to this country
home for their children. They commenced
with a 50-cent piece."
"We can do better than that!" said
Jenny, with sparkling eyes. "Please
God, deai Charley, our little fellow
% shall have a green and sunny place to
play in before he is many years older!
|| And I'll do without the silk dress."
"And I'll make the old overcoat
last another season,at the very least,"
I added.
"And we'll give np all such non
seuse as new carpets "
"And gold watches."
"And foolish suppers and wines and
everything else that isn't absolutely
necessary," added Jenny, comprehensively.
The next morning bright and early,
as soon asv business hours woulft permit,
I went and deposited the $100
a : _w
ill iae iie.'tresi saviu^t uuun.
A week afterward Mr. Manyply
dropped in, in a friendly way. Mr.
Mauyply is the lawyer who transacted
Uncle Moses Manson's financial affairs
?a plump, bald-headed, deep-voiced
old gentleman, who always dresses in
spotless black and wears a big sealring
on the little finger of his left
hand.
"So," said Mr. Manyply,' "you've
invested that $100, have you?"
"i*es," said I, with the complacent
air of one who has an account in
bank. "But how did you know it?"
"Oh, I know a good many things,"
said Mr. Manyply, oracularly, "But
what's the idea of it?"
"Economy," struck in Jenny proudly.
"We aro saving now Mr. Manyply.
We mean to have a home for
little Charley?a garden full of roses
and pinks and staawberries one of
these days."
"And a very laudable ambition,"
said Manyply iu that smooth, oily
way of his. "How much would such
a place cost now?"
"Charles thinks if we waited for a
bargaiu we could secure it for about
57000," Jenny answered, promptly.
"Buy it now, then,4' said Mr. Manyply.
"Here's a check for $8000."
"Eh?" cried J, breathlessly.
"A check," the old lawyer went on,
"signel*by Uncle Manson, payable to
the order of his niece, Jane Ann9
Evarts. Ah! you may well look astonished.
He wns an eccentric old
chap, this uncle of yours, Mrs. Evarts
?and I have written instructions to
keep an eye on the manner in which
you invested that $100 bequest of his. ~
?*? i i:.&
"II in is squandered in any iuuuau .
way,' he writes, 'there is ar end of
the matter. Pat my money .dl in the
hospital for hunchbacks. If they
show any disposition to save help
them along with this check for $8000, *
to be expended only in the purchase of
real estate.' Mr youug friends, I
congratulate yon."
And Mr. Menyply's spectacles
beamed npon as like two fall moons.
This is how we became possessed
of our lovely little country home, =>
where Charley thrives like a growing
flower and Jenny flits about in a
broad-brimmed gardening hat, trimming
roses, pruning gooseberries and
planting lily-bulbs. And the $100 bill
still lies untouched in the savings
bank.
"It sball be Charley's fortune,"
says my wife. "It would be a shame
to touch it after it has wrought us so
much good."
And I quite agree with her.
A YOUNG GALLANT'S PREDICAMENT.
Saved Hlmnelf by Eating Sugar in an
Oyater Stew.
Au amusing anecdote was recently
told by a well known New Yorker
about himself. At the time of the
story he was in a small salaried position
ou the clerical force on the same
railroad in which he is now one of the
mighty.
"On my visiting list at that time
were several charming yonng ladies.
One of the most facinating lived near
si certain fashionable theatre. I owed
this yonng lady a courtesy in return
lor an invitation to a very pleasurable
lance, so I asked her to go with me
to the theatre I mentioned. The invitation
was accepted, and I bought
the seats.
"That done, I found two dollars and
some small change in my pockets. I
was very absent-minded in those days,
30 when, daring the afternoon, one of
the boys, asked me fo: the loan of a
two, I did the natural thing?dove
lown in my pocket and gave it to him
?without a thought of how I was to
get along tnat evening.
"Later on I remembered my engagement,
and in tarn tried to borrow
some money, bat could not find aoy.
There was an epidemic of hard times
imong my friends. Lnckily I knew
[)f a florist who coald be stood off, so
[ ordered him to deliver a nice banch
of violets. That done, I had only sapper
to worry aboat?bat with only
fifty cents to bay it.
"After the play we were opposite a
well known oyster place, when the
idea came to me to propose an oyster
stew. I knew she wasn't a drinking
girl, and, as the stews at that plaee
were twenty cents each, there would
loo ten cents for the waiter.
"The stews were brought while I
was giving her one of my very best
stories. She was absorbingly interested,
and was seasoning the stew
when the climax of the story was'
reached. As I stopped I saw a dismayed
little face opposite. Several
I earful thoughts flashed throngh my
brain?among them illness and a cab
with a not-to-be-appe?8ed cabby. But
the truth: She had put sugar instead
of salt into her stew! *
"The only way out occurred to me
in a flash.
" You'll allow me, won't you?'I
said, changing the stews. 'I haven't
seasoned mine. I always use sugar,
so I'll take yours.'
"And I downed every drop, but I
was deathly sick that night."?Ladies'
Home Companion.

I FOR FARM AND GARDEN.!
Vain? of Snbaoiling.
One of the advantages of subsoiling
is to do away with the evil effects of
deep plowing, that is the under soil is
loosened without the necessity of
turning the humus of the surface
under, and necessarily placing it at
the bottom of the furrow below where
it will be able to do the most good.
Look Into Yonr Fertilizer*.
Thousands upon thousands of tons
of fertilizer are yearly used by some
men who do not even take the trouble
to see if it is helping them out in a
financial way, or in other words to see
if it is a payiug investment. If there
was such a thing as reckoning tip the
loss caused by this oversight the eyes
of a great many farmers would surely
be opened, and the result would be
smaller fertilizer bills and la:ger
crops.
Another thing should be doue by
all using fertilizers, and that is the
matter of looking iuto the cjmposition
of the goods they are buying. Buying
fertilizers without knowing the analysis
of them is practically buying "a pig
in a bag."
Start tlie Chick* night.
If we expect a healthy, profitable
flock of hens, we must not overlook
the fact that the care giveu the chicks
during the tirst few days of life determines
to a great extent just what they
will be iu mature life. Chicks must
be kept healthy, and in order to do
this a system must be adopted and
strictly adhered to. They must come
from the nest free from vermin and
must not be allowed to become chilled.
They must be given the best and most
wholesome food, just what is best
suited for the formiug of flesh and
boue. Those that are iuteuded for
market re juire different treatment
from the pullets that we intend for
next winter's layers. It takes time
and patience,conpled with bard work,
to make poultry raising a success, but
it cau be done.?Home and Farm.
A Few Point* on At atfa.
When sowing alfalfa seed remember
that it we ghs about 60 pounds to
the bushel and that from 20 to 30
pounds of seed is sufficient for each
acre. And if you are raising it for
seed it would be advisable to sow a
little thinner than this.
As alfalfa does not attain maturity
until it has reached its third or fourth
year, too ranch should' not be expected
of it the first year that it makes
a showing.
As it is a deep feeder plow the
land that it is to be grown on thoroughly
and it would be pretty hard to
plow too deep.
Alfalfa hay is not in itself a complete
ration so in order to secure the
best results when feeding it, it is nec
essary to nse in conjunction with it
corn fodder, wheat or oat straw, or
roots. Alfalfa itself contains a large
amount of what is known as protein to
form blood, bone and mmcle, so it is
necessary to use these other foods to
secure for the animal a proper amount
of starch and fat, which is accomplished
by using feed analvzing high in carbohydrates.
If these are not given
the ration is incomplete and consequently
a good part of the protein is
wasted.
f
Rotation of Crop*.
"While no doubt it is better to
change crops, that is, not plant the
same piece for a long series of years
to the salue crop? yet, is it not often
the case that a good crop can be raised
on the same land for a long time by
proper fertilization.
For inBtauce, take the English hay
crop, by proper top dressing a good
crop can be secured for years, and
where the field is clayey and stony, it
is very desirable to treat it so.
We have, for the past few years,
made a specialty of the turnip crop,
aud having one field which seems better
adapted than the others for turnips,
we have planted it to that crop
for a number of year--. We began
very caationsly, planting at first but
a small portion the second and third
years, as our- neighbors said they
should not like to try it and thought
we should not get good results, but,
finding that there seemed to be as
good a yield on the part that bad turnips
the year befoie as on the'other,
we thought we wonld try the whole
field, and for two years have raised
turnips on it, and the last year we
had an extra crop of good quality, and
the quantity being 550 bushels of market
size on the field cf about an acre.
We plow in a fair quantity of stable
mannre in the spring, then plow the
ground two or three times during the
early summer, then about the middle
of July make the drills and sow the
seed, using in the drills 600 or 700
poutids of commercial fertilizers.
We have also succeeded in getting
rid of the witch grass, of which the
field was very full when we commenced
to raise turnips upon it, and
it i$ now one of the easiest fields to
cultivate that we have.?H. A. Turner
in American Cultivator.
The Lessons of Milking Trials.
Mr. Primrose McConnell in his interesting
report of the milking trials
at the London Dairy Show of last October,
which appears in The Journal
of the British Dairy Farmers' Association,
includes several statistical
statements of importance to dairy farmers.
Averaging the milking performances
of the competing animals of
the different breeds, he brings out
very clearly the superiority of the:
shorthorn or the crossbred of the
shorthorn type. These classes have
not only given splendid yields as regards
quantity, but the quality has
also been of a creditable character.
A close examination of the individual
yields may reveal lessons of more than
passing interest to owners of this type
of cow.
The enormously heavy yields produced
by some of the animals and the
exceeding richness of the milk of
others seem to us to suggest that the
farmer possesses a power in developing
or controlling the inherent propensities
of cows which is but too little
appreciated, or at all events that is
not turned to adequate account. It is
obvious that the shorthorn by a systematic
process of selection could be
made to equal even the Channel
T. 1 .. T 1 IX 3
isiana varieties as uuiter producers,
or they might be cultivated, if so desired,
to excel the Holstein breed as
heavy milkers. We do not think that
the development of one quality at the
expense of the others?as must be the
case if extremes are to be attained?
would be a wise proceeding for the
average farmer, but it is only too apparent
that the vast majority of farmers
do not pay the strict attention to
the selection and direction of their
cows that consideration for their own
interests ought to induce them to do.
Without couverting the valued cosmopolitan
breed into a one purpose
class, such as the Jersey or the Ayr-I
?s -.i ?; -
thire is, much might be done to enhance
the value of the ordinary specimen
as an all around dairy cow. ^
The Covered Barnyard,
The covered barnyard possesses
Rome advantages, but everyone must
i decide for himself whether or not the
, advantages are sufficient to warrant
| him in erecting one. The yard that
I have Seen was sheltered by two
| buildings on two sides aud boarded
; Up seven :eet on the other two sides,
| with a lived out- opening between the
top of the fence and the edge of tho
roof. If it farmer should build one it
j would be advisable, in ou1- opiuiou, to
; protect the north and west sidt s com
pletely. This might be done if buildi
ings were not so located that they
j would do it, and they would not be in
; the majority of eases, by buildiug the
fence clear to the roof, The chearest
roof would 1 o one that was as nearly
flat as possible and still turn the rain.
; These yards are not such pretentious
; atVai.s an some people think them to
j be. It seems to be a common opiuion
! that they are large enough for -10 or
| 5U head of cattle and the exprnse of
i constructing a yard of sufficient size
to accommodate such sized herds has
, caused many to ridicule the covered
| barnyard as r nonsensical conception.
; Perhaps it is, but not because of its
size.
The ono I visited would accommodate
nbottt 10 head. Of course it
could be made to accommodate more
by turning 10 head into it at one time,
10 head at auother and so on, It has
been suggested that the roof of the
yard might be carried higher and a
lolt made for the storage of fodder, n
suggestion which in itself shows that
the yard is limited in size. There is
a yard, however, in Pennsylvania, we
think, that is much larger than the
yard wo looked at, but it is entirely
enclosed, the space that would bo
open above the feDce, as nbovo described,
being fitted with windows,
which can be opened when necessary.
There is also a skylight 5u the roof.
We shonld ctxli a structure of that
kiud a building rather thsu a yard.
The manner of sustaining the loof
will readily suggest itself. The centre
of the roof will naturally require
some support and will necessitate iuside
posts, which will have to be set
substantial enough to withstand any
force which the stock might bring
against them.
The principal advantages that such
r yard would afford iu the opinion of
those who believe that the cow should
have exercise, would be in the protection
or partial protection of the animal
while she is exorcising; in preserving
the manure from damage by the elements;
as furnishing shelter for sheep,
aud, if plenty of absorbent is used, in
furnishing a dry and pleasant barnyard.
Cheaper shelter will answer
for fattening cattle in many cases
when they need shelter,aud the feeder
is likely provided for in this direction,
without finding Limself under the
necessity of building tf covered barnyard.
However, now that we have
given the principle of the thing, it reremains
for everyone who reads this
article to decide whether or not he
wants one.?Agricultural Epitomist,
A MAINE COAST LIGHT.
It Was in an Invalid'* Window, bat
Gnided a Wrecked Crew.
A pretty story comes from the Maine
coast.
Southport at its lower end! spiudles
off to Cape Newnggen. There is a
scallop iu the end of the mainland
and a corresponding Rcallop in the
little island that lies off shore. And as
a result tiiere is a bit of harbor there
that before now has been a blessed
haven to storm tossed mariners. If
one is able to make that harbor there
is safe anchorage. If one misses it
there is no shelter between there and
the mouth of the Eennebec or the
black rocks of Damanscove.
There is in the little settlement on
the half moon of beach at Newaggen a
honse in which there lives a kindly
featured woman with an invalid husband.
One night during a storm she
was obliged to be up through many
hours of the dark tempest attending
to the wants of the sufferer. And she
looked out of the window against the
whirling drift of the storm and noticed
that nowhere was there a glimpse
uf light. So she set in the window
her lamp and there the tiny ray shone
forth.
After awhile there was a knock at
the door. She opened it unhesitatingly,
for there are no criminal prowl*
ers down that way.
There, with the storm eddying
about them, were five desolate look*
iug men, standing in single file, all
in oil skins?shipwrecked mariners.
They humbly asked if they might
come in and get warm.
She threw wide the door in welcome
aud in they stamped.
By the side of the fire they told that
their craft, a schooner bound along
the coast to Nova Scotia, had struck
on "The Bantam" some miles off
? ' n
shore?bad crasnea uign on me rocss
and had crnmbled in pieces almost before
they had time to scuttle into their
dory. Off they had set .into the
night, having only a general idea of
the direction they should row to reach
the Kennebec.
At last some uncommon draft or
eddy in the storm dragged aside the
curtain of snow and showed to them
a glimmer of light They turned their
dory's prow in that direction. At last
riding past reefs that roared on the
right and on the left, they had surged
safely into a snug and sheltered little
harbor. There were wharves there?
and fishing .boats riding at anchor?
the harbor of Ne wag gen. And the
cold and hungry men, their oil skins
snapping as they walked, had followed
up into the fan shaped radiance
of that light that shone from the window
of the good woman.
They slept that night around her
kitchen fire and the next day they
rowed away in their dory to Boothbay,
reported and were forwarded to
their homes.,
Had it not been for that little light
they would have swept upon a dark
shore and?well, would it not have
been death??Lewiston (Me.) Journal.

Therefore the answer which a teacher
recently received from her class of
small children was not altogether surprising.
"Which is further away?" she asked,
"England or the moon?"
"England," the children answered
quickly.
"England?" she questioned. "What
makes you think that?"
" 'Cause we can see the moon anfl we
can't see England," answered one of
the brightest of the class.
A Hint tft Advertisers.
[From N. Y. Town Topics.]
Business men who put their advertisements
in the big dailies on Snndays
must have money to throw away, and,
therefore, need no advertising. Who
is to find or read your advertisement
.when it is hidden away in "section
17, column 5," separated from other
announcements in the same line, and
nndiscoverable without the aid of
mathematics and a microscope? Nobody
sees it, even by accident. Ton
are obliged to ask the clerk in the
newspaper office to hunt it np for yon
so as to be certain that it was published.
The same advertisement in a
good weekly paper would reach thousands
of first-class families and be
noticed and regarded by everybody.

Sensible Poultry.
A great many people who hare
chickens are as careless in the matter
of supplying them with green food in
the winter as they are of keeping their
own tables supplied with succulent
vegetables. But it is nevertheless just
as important in odo case as in the
other. Referring to this subject, a
farmer's wife in Nebraska says in TriState
Farmer on the subject:
The poulterer on the farm possesses
every advantage over the man confined
to one or two lots in the city. While
In our experience, free range of the
farm is not the best way to raise line
poultry, yet we do not duly appreciate
the foods we may raise anil feed fresh
from the garden to our poultry. In
our experience the fowls at large do
not confine themselves to picking up
the waste but rather choose to take
their rations from horse mangers and
pig troughs. They fatten on the corn
and perhaps the men complain with
justice that "the hens eat their heads
ou.
We find It better to have yards of
medium size, and we have about made
! up our minds that hens at large are not
I much improvement on hogs at large,"
land what women can put up with hogs
in the back yard? But if hens are
yarded they must be fed, and there is
room on the farm for a garden for the
chickens. JVhat shall we plant? We
must have 1< 0 uce, of course. One can
cut a surprising amount of feed from
a few square feet of lettuce; then there
is the giant Southern mustard. A fewrows
of that and you have a green
food greatly relished, and in quantity
for a numerous flock. Winter onions
are egg producers. Perhaps we can
find a corner for hemp and sunflowers.
Then we must have some vegetables
for winter. Cabbage and artichokes
come first. Watch the biddies eat raw
artichokes if you do not believe they
like them. Then we may raise some
carrots to cook and mix with bran for
biddy's winter breakfast to make her
lay. We can cook them and mix with
corn meal to fatten the poultry for
market* quickly. Probably po vegetable
we raise gives less trouble or is
more certain to yield well than sugar
beets. Then the beets keep well, which
is more than we can say for carrots in.
this locality. We put the beets through
the bone cutter and feed raw.
The hens greatly relish the raw
vegetables and the ducks must have
them if you wish eggs in January. The
mustard will stay green long after
frosts, and when it is gone begin on
the beets. The mustard will not appear
the second year nor in any way
resemble the old fashioned sort. A
great many places where the vegetables
have been taken off may be
sown to the mustard for fall feeding.?
Florida Agriculturist
Brain Force in Bicycle Riding,
Messrs. R. E. and C. Crompton recently
presented to the Cycle Engi-j
neers' Institute at Birmingnam, England,
the results of a remarkable investigation
concerning the efficiency of
the human body considered as a motor.
Heretofore the body has generally been
treated as analogous to a heat engine,
work being obtained from it through
chemical action on the muscles. But
the Messrs. Crompton believe they
have demonstrated that the greater
part of the energy-yielding processes
go on within the brain, or in the nervous
system directly connected with
the brain. In bicyclc-Hders they find
that the greatest waste is from the
brain and nerves, and not from the
muscles. The n^rve waste, they aver,
iz proportional to the number of times
that the nerve centres energize the
muscles in order to make a stroke, and
hence the craving for .high gears,
which diminish the number of strokes
and thus economize the nerve waste.
They advocate, instead of high gearing,
an increase in the length of the
cranks, for the purpose both of reducing
the number of strokes and of inpressing
their efficiency.

A Test Case.
I might mention the exper'ence of a
farmer who a few years ago entered a ?
corn contest. The first thing he did
was to buy the latest work m corn culture.
One fact alone was worth all ,
the study he gave; he learned that, ,
contrary to the general Impression, the ,
roots of the corn plant grow to a great ,
depth; that experiments in Wisconsin ,
proved that when the corn plant is ,
eighteen inches high its root* cross in m
the middle rows forty^two Inches ,
apart; when the plant Is tasseling the
roots go three feet deep in the ground,
and when the ear is ripe they have
gone four feet and literally filled the i
soli irom the surface to that depth. He
learned enough to win a prize, and in
consequence of that book his crops
have steadily increased until in 1S9S
' i-1 3 * ? ~ m aiia
lie garnereu iruui uue urcasuicu. av.i?
163% bushels (shelled grain), and his
entire crop averaged 115 bushels to the
acre. This result a few years ago
would have been regarded impossible.
The same farmer gave his son, a 12ycar-old
boy, the turkeys on his farm
to raise on shares and furnished him <
the latest work on turkey-raising. The
boy read the book, pursued intelligent
and up-to-date methods, and raised
about $200 worth of turkeys; from one
flock of 08 he raised 64. It pays to
know how. and this is all that scientific
means.?Atlanta Journal.
Problems.
"Henrysaid the master of the
house to the cook, "I heard a baas
voice in the kitchen last evening."
"My sister, sir!" replied the cook,
in some confusion.
"No, Henry, I believe it was the
policeman on the beat!" said the master,
severely.
Mere social permutations, albeit the
Chicago custom of: hiring men to do the
housework becomes universal, may
not be expected to obliterate such
problems as find their elements in the
human nature inherent.
Millions for Baseball.
A million of dollars are spent every year upon
the came of baseball, but large as this sum
is it canuot begin to equal the amount spent
by people in search of health. There is a sure
method of obtaining strength, and It is not a
costly one. We urge those who have pent
