Some of them are almost as fam ous as Christie’s, in London, where they have sold single jewfels for a million dollars, and some are of the catch-penny type. One of the latter, right in the heart of Times Square, has a nove’ method. We can all recall the hoarse-voiced auctioneer at farm sales, ready to drop from the effort of using his voice. Well, this nan sells from early nomine: to 'ate a night and his voice holds out all week. How does he do it? Why he has a microphone in front of him witl- six receivers around the big rtor and his lowest \tfnsper carries v. the back wall. It is de luxe sell mg. Second-hand Goods This city sells more goods second hand than many cities sell new, xc cording to an analysis issued by the Merchants’ Association the othe: day. The total sales run $14,000 - 000 a year, of which 936 stores sell close to $10,000,000. Second-hand book stores do a business of $800,000, nearly $100,000 more than used automobiles bring. A straw showing how many are doing business here on a “shoe string” is shown by the fact that second-hand office furniture is sold to the amount of $636,000 each year. Kindness to Blind All New Yorkers are kind to blind men. One sees them tapping their way around the most crowded parts of the city and, when they halt at a curb, waiting to cross the d street, almost anybody will volun teer to lend" a friendly arm and aid them to cross. A newspaper man here told me tunny thing about that.

C. iitls for the by Nancy Mart vaiting at the curb while a friend bought a naper. While waiting he xbsentmindedly started tapping with his cane on the walk (all newspaper men in this city carry 2anes—it’s a trade mark.) As he stood there a nicely’’dress ed woman seeing a blind nan apping the walk, as she thought, stepped up to him, took his arm, and remarked, “Let me help you across the street!” Embarrassment all around was avoided by the friend’s appearance. He took the newspaperman by the arm, thanked the kind hearted woman and told her he would help him over. Valets’ Graft One can pick up wonderful suits, if you know where to go. Valets of wealthy men get their masters’ old clothes and they have certain stores where they can sell them. The suits are of the best material and practically unworn. It is up to you as to what you pay. It varies from $5 to $20 a suit and for that you get clothes that make you look ike a millionaire. It is pretty hard ,o find out where to get such bar gains as those who are already pat ronizing those shops don’t like to et you know they are wearing cast off suits and, besides, if they take you there it means they have a harder time getting bargains them selves. £till, there are those places and if you don’t mind wearing somebody else’s clothes, you can dress like a lord on little money.

L. Jeffords, extension ag ronomist, who reminds us that the old method of scattering the burrs over land without compost or any oreparation iz very uncertain and unsuccessful. The method followed by the •essful burr clover growers r Cherokee and elsewhere i i ;.b state, Mr. Jeffords explains, i* fill a wagon bed about six inch deep with fresh hdrse or mul manure, on top of this about i four-inch layer of burr clove: burrs, then another four to six inches of manure. Having nixed these layers thoroughly with v pitchfork, they drive out to the field where the clover is to be es tablished and place a large fork ful of the burrs and manure every three feet in each direction, with care that the forkfuls are not toss ed out of the wagon and thereby scattered but placed on the ground each forkful in a compact pile. If the burr clover is to be established in a field where corn or cotton is growing, the piles of mixture should be placed in the drill and not in the middles between the rows.

Wash and pit large, sour, red cherries. Add three-fourths of their weigh or measure of sugar. Sprinkle the sugar over the fruit in layers and let it stand over night. In the morning stir until the sugar is dissolved and then press the juice well from the cher ries. Tie a small quantity of whole spices in a loose cheesecloth bag, drop this into the juice, and boil it down until it is three- fourths of the original quantity. Pour hot over the drained cherries and add 2 tablespoons of vinegar to each pint. Salt and keep two weeks before using.

Department of Ag riculture, in co-operation with State agencies, has located and slaughtered more than two-thirds of all the infected cattle in the country. • Today there are fewer than 1,000,000 tuberculous cattle in the United States. x Milk is excellent for fnHening chickens. It helps to develop the tissue and improve the quality of ’he meat. Use about 2 pounds of nilk to 1 pound of mash.

X Don’t put hot foods in the re frigerator. Cool them first to room temperature. Don’t use ice to cool such things as the tops of carrots, or thick paper on parcels from the market.
