Raising SunfowerS.

The sunfiower promises to be popular
among fashionable people on account of
its gaudy yellow color, which is admired
by Mr.. Oscar Wilde and his numerous
disciples. Last season sunt,owers sold
at Saratoga and Newport for twenty-tiy
cents each for decorative purposes. 1t
is fortunate that the sunilower has be-
come fashionable. Farmers NAV not be
able to dispose of the blossoms at the
rate of three dollars per dozen, but if
they will allow them to mature they can
realize considerable from their seed.
There is no more desirable food for
fowls than suntlower seed, and it is
questionable if any other food can be
produced at so little cost. MANY farm
ers in Michigan have raised sunflowers
as a field crop, and reported it as a paw
ing one. They cut off and cured the
leaves for fodder for horses and cattle.

The Big Hat Nuisance.

At the recent May Festival In New York, q
view of the stage was forbidden to o consider
able number of the occupants of one section
by two young women who wore hats OF the
Rubens gt9dnted 0bscurdnS variety They had
season tickets and appeared at every concert,
beginning with the first performance on Tues
day evening. Two exceptional y reckless and
rashly courageous young men, after enduring
the infliction as long as they could, finally
concocted note on Saturday afternoon,
pathetically detailing their sufrerlngs and
humbly petitioning that the obstructions
be laid aside during the concert, IL haply
they might thereby be able to tell
their friends at home how the stage
looked, and how the female singers thereon
were garmentcd. This document thcy passed
down by the hands Of another sufferer who
sat nearer the hat-wearers and then became
deeply absorbed In studying the pattern of
the chandeliers at the top OF the hall. Tho
obstructionfsts read tho note, tore 1t up, and
then glared around to see who the imperti-
nent senders were, but they did not remove
the occasions Of offense. The hearts of the
two young men, however, leaped and sang In
the evening, when, instead Of the hats, two
short and bald-headed men appeared in the
line of vision between them and the stage
The ladies had evidently turned to specula
tion and sold their tickets. The young men
hopo that they realized some pecuniary profit
