II should charge the Press in the
same proportion. that lawyers. charge
for fhefrr time, I should get about a
thousand dollars for this letter. Here
is a case: Mr.. Il. l.. White Gas lovely
a fellow as ever wrote a paragraph),
now the editor of the Providence Press,

AlabaifaS Tfeaty son wh6s6 provisions
two continents hung breathlessly, had
been signed and sent to the Senate.
This was many years ago. A copy came
to us as. legitimately as any piece of
news comes into the Press Office, but it
happened so that we could not tell
where it came from. We were brought
before the Senate and sent TO commit
tee, aud we refused to answer and tel
where the treaty as printed in the Tri6-
une came from. We, were locked up
for about a fortnight. The great public
was with us, and we had more applca-
tons for our autographs than we could
pay postage on, andslwe had cases of
wine, cases of brandy, demiiohns of
whisky, boxes of cigars, woodcock, ter
rapin, canvasback. ducks, flowers and
such things galore. Senator'S came to
our rooms for drinks and lunches, aud
the whole thing from beginning to end
was great joke. But--and here comes
the point-we were, of course, released
by tremendous majority of the Senate,
but there were certain legal points to be
disposed of. We had been indicted for
disrespect to the Senate, or something
of the kind. We engaged a lawyer, and
he went into court and asked that our
Indictment be quashed. That was all,
and the Indictment was quashed. How
much, Mr.. Editor, do you think he
charged for that five minutes work
He charged and paid him $500 for that
job, and have his name on my check
to show it. Suppose newspaper man

Extra Feed.

AS our readers know. we advocate
mixed farming-raising little of ever
thing, and rs much as possible OF every
thing Spec alists dowell, but it requires
more.money to engage success ully in
any one branch of rural life, as the rails
ing of cattle, or Sheep or hogs, or any
one thing. A man with limited means
can make good living, and, at the
same time, improve an make a good
farm an home, by applying his ener-
giles to farming in general This in
cludes stock raising Every farmer
ought to raise as much stock as his
land will maintain well, and no more.
If he will study his bus ness as loosely
and carefully as the merchant and law
yer do theirs. he will find many availa-
BILE sources of profit lying loosely about
him. ert " r~Vr Il
This thing of having but one cow or
two sheep, or three hogs, to everyc Iii
waited ten acres of land is wasteful ex-
travagance. 1t co is something TO get
stock, we know, but not so much as many
think, if we only get about it right The
writer of this once bought wicked
looking sow with seven pigs. If it had
not occurred in Missouri and before the
war. he would be ashamed to mentionit.
Not that he is ashamed of having pur-
chased a SOW but-sach a SOW. Well,
that was in the fall of 1860. BY the
time the soldiers came along that way
--one year later--it seemed as if the
woods was full of good pork. and all
from that sow and seven pigs We had
thirty-odd head of fair porkers that we
had expected to feed-not the soldiers
with. The fact is mentioned merely to
illustrate that stock may be started from
small and homely beginnings. -
But our theme nowis not the increase
of stock. 1t is the feeding well OF what
we have. Put every available item of
feed into meat and wool. 1t does not
pay 10 ship corn when we can put il n-
to beef, pork, mutton. or WOOL, and ship
them, Itrarely happens in Kansas that
it is not cheaper to feed hogs or cattle
than it is to ship corn. rye, oats, turnips
and hay. Letus all study the art of
feeding. 1t is an art Some men will
raise animals ont half the food that
othersuse, II requires study, good ev
ecutive ability, patience and perseyer-
ance. For feeding hogs we ought to
have good floors and dry, warm feeling
pens. Save every kernel, OF corn, and
let the hogs eat them--not waste. Cat
tie ought to have shelter from storms.
They need feeding troughs, racks, and
dry. well-littered places to lie. Sheep
need troughs. and racks, and clean.
well-ventilated houses. lAll kinds of
stock heed shelters and clean, dry
quarters. But if we can not do as well
as we would like to do. let us do as well
as we can. At least let us save all the
feed we can and put it into our stock =

An Autograph with a Sting.

A Boston paper says that Rev. Brooke
HEREFORD, lately of Chicago, doesn't like
to be interrupted when he is busy writ
ing sermon, and so the other day,
finding himself somewhat behindhand
with his preparation for the coming
Sunday, he retired to his study, giving
explicit orders that he was not to be
disturbed by visitors, no matter who
might call. Pretty soon along came the
autograph fie-, that is, lady who was
collecting autographs and favorite texts
of Boston preachers, for a charitable
object. She was so importunate that
Mrs. Herford at last went to the study
door and tapped. "BrookeP" "YesP''
"There's a lady downstairs, and -
"But, my dear - ~ know, Brooke,
but she only wishes your autograph
and favorite text, for dear charity's
sake.'' Herford yielded, and dashed
down his name and the reference,
Timothy, 13, on sheet of paper. There
was a grim smile on his face as he hand
ed it to his wife. She took it down to the
visitor, and she, in turn, went away re-
joicing. But when, in reviewing her
treasures, she looked up MIR. HEREFORD IS
text, she read: ''And withal they learn
to be idle, wandering about from house
to house; and not only idle, but tattlers
also, and busybodies, sseaking things

r. WE are often asked, byauxious pupils of
inquiring minds, questions relative to the
value of com posers: "Was Handel as great
as Beethovenp ''Was Chopin superior to
Schumanul" etc. In order that we may be
tormented nomore, and that all doubts may be
solved forever. We have compiled the follow
ing tables of musical values: Six Millards
make one Abt; ten Abts make one Schubert;
two Schuberts make one Chopin; two Cho-
pins make one Schumsnn: four Schumanns
maxi one Handel two II iels make one
Bach; three Bachs make one Beethoven 1t
will be natural, therefore, that In future ex-
