Mrs. Benton, the next witness,
testified as follows:
II am the wife of the defendant.
I saw Duffy but once before the
shooting. He was in q short time
Sunday and I was introduced to
him. l did not see him on the
night of the shooting until he came
into the house. He came in the
back way through the barn. A dog
was barking in the passage way.
About 2 o'clock the dog woke me
up. Jimmy my son, woke up and
called me. jimmy was sleeping in
the same room with me. He took
the lamp and went to the door and
I followed him. The boy had his

A Bog Miser.

Dandie was a Newfoundland dog, be-
longing to gentleman i'll Edinburgh. 1t
frequently had money given it, because,
besides other proofs of sagacity, it would
go to the bakers and buy its own bread.
But Dandie received more money than
his needs called for, and so he took to
boarding it. This his master discovered
in. consequence of the dog appearing one
day with breakfast roll when it was
known no one had given it any money.
Suspicion aroused, search was made in
the room who're the dog slept Dandie
appeared quite unconcerned until his bed
was approached, when he seized the ser
want by her gown and tried to drag her
away, and became so violent that his
master had to hold him. Sevenpence-
halfpenny was found hidden in the bed.
Dandic did not give up his saving even
after this; but he Showed great dislike
forsthe servant who had discovered his
hoard, and in future was careful to select
ii different place OF conceaiment.
Stories of dogs who carry money to
shop in order to obtain food are quite
numerous; but the following incident,
which was communicated to the Bristol
Mercury, is, if authentic, probably I'M
paralleled even in canine records. A Bris-
tol dog was allowed by certain butcher to
receive his meat on trust, the butcher
scoring each pennyworth supplied on a
board with q piece of chalk. One day
our canine friend, observing the man make
two marks with the chalk instead of one,
seized another piece of meat, and, de-
spite all the efforts of the butcher to de
tain him, ran off home with both pieces
in his mouth.

A DeeD Scheme.

There lived for some years in Brook
lyn, N. Y, boarding house, gentleman,
his wife and their pretty daughter. he
was a salesman in a Broadway dry-gooos
house, and his salary was three Thousand
dollars year. He had saved ten thous-
and dollars in the course OF thirty years
of hard work. Last summer the vile
and daughter went to Brldgehampton,
Long Island, for little recreation, and
there met Young man from Chicago,
who instantly fell completely in love with
the Young woman. He seemed to nave
money, and the father was sent 1or TO
,ome down and look him over. The man
of business ascertnGed IN hall an houf
that the youngstcr WaS the son OF rlch
merchant, who was rated among the mill
lions bv commercial agencies. Indeed,
the Chicago merchant and his wife were
at that moment at dgehampton. The
BROOKLYN man formulated scheme ana
hurried to Brooklyn to put 1t into exc
cution. In that city of churches there
are to be let full appointed mansions, IN
which arc not only furniture, but bed
ding, tableware, silver service, china,
lace curtains, piano and library. The
vcrv best of them come high, to be sure.
but they are exceedingly sumptuous, and
to live in them is to enjoy life as though
YOU owned them. Our dway sales
man at three thousand dollars year
hired one of these elegantly furnished
houses for six months, paid two months
rent in advance moved in and sent word
to his wife and daughter to invite the
Chicago folks home with them. This
was done, and the Chicago folks found
their newly-made Brooklyn Appropriateness
living in one of Brooklyn's finest dwell
ings. The lractised eye of the Chicago
merchant saw that it must require an III
come of least fifteen thousand dollars a
year to even live III such q house--more
likely it would require double that sum.
rhe Brooklyn man evidently was very
rich, and his daughter was doubtless
well worthy to be the wife of his son.
They had very pleasant visit. The
boy pressed his suit. He was asked to
come again in few weeks and get his
answer. lie did SO and was accepted.
The girl could not then be married too
soon, and December was named. Accord
ingly, just before the holidays there was
a grand wedding in the mansion. There
was large number of Chicago guests,
who congratulated the young man from
Chicago on his good luck in getting SO
pretty bride, and one apparently with
such well-to-do parents. 1t was very
successful wedding, and the bride is very
happy presumably, in her Chicago home;
but the Brooklyn mans lease IAN out on
the middle of last month, and he is noss-
back in the boarding house, and still
selling goods in the Broadway house, at
three thousand year. Almost

saved'is gone, 4oo. But he has married

Value OF S;Ai;alIaled Wink.

Professor Manly Miles a few years ago
conducted Il series of experiments for the
purpose of ascertaining the vslue of
skinned milk az food for pig. He
found that by feeding it to pigs six
weeks old it took to make one poUnd
gain in weight the first week about s!x
and three four, h pounds of the milk; the
second week about pound more, the
amount steadily Increasing until the
fourth week, when it took ten and II
half pounds to make pound of flesh.
From this experiment of Profess r Mi cs
and many others made since. we may
conclude that in feeding both pigs and
calves it constantly takes more food Of
airy kind to put a pound gain the older
the animal grows. SKINNED milk may
be worth one or two cents a quart to
feed yourg pigs or calves, and not one
fourth of a cent for feeding older animals
of the same kind. The same rule holds
good in regard to fattening young or
old animals with any other kind of food.

Suggestions for Spring.

1. Judging from experience Of our most
practical horticulturists, backed by the
recommendation of noted chemists, it
appears that wood especially from
hard woods our most valuable fertil-
izer for universal application. In the
case OF potatoes, however, it is claimed
that while by use of potash we may in
crease the size and quantity, we lose in
quality. Possibly this may be So but
the rule is not universal in its application
on all soils. One of the latest illustra-
tions of the value OF wood ashes is that
the cherry may be caused to bear abund-
antly by applying liberal dressing to
the soil. That it is of greatest advantage
to apple, pear and peach admits of no
argument, and we have abundant proof
Of its value as fertilizer for the smaller
fruits, as well as for the vegetable gar
den. Cline upon line, precept upon

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.


In considering the value of fertilizers,
the recent report of the Pennsylvania
board of agriculture states that pure raw
bone, or raw bone and potash, are, under
all varying circumstances, the most trust
worthy fertilizers for farmers who are in
doubt, to buy. Regarding the action OF
bone, occurs the following: ''Bone is
more rapid and satisfactory in lis opera
tons in moist seasons, and is scarcely
perceptible in its action in dry ones.
When more rapid action is required than
raw boue is known to possess, dissolved
Eone-i. c., pure bone and acid only
may lie used, as the acid renders the
bone more soluble"

How a Large Crop OF Potatoes was

Mr.. Alfred Rose gives, the following
statement as to the method OF culture by

from one pound of seed:

consisting of three tubers. They were

flesh part below the eye a bud started on
either side of the first. In time | cut
these apart. in many instances making
seed enough for four hills from one
fourth of a single eye.
The land used was strip between
the rows of grapevines, eight feet wide
and fifteen rods long The soil was a
sandy loan intermixed with mari. l

sowed broadcast 400 pounds Of Bradley
fertilizer Gas the using of this was part
of the condition of the contest and har-
rowed it in thoroughly and deep. Next.
l opened burrows nine inches deep on
each side of the center and graded them
them to eight inches. The sets had now
started to bud, and planted one to each
hill by hand, carefully covering them
about one inch deep. In time they came up,
and soon laterals started; pushed these
as far from the main stalks as possible,
and drew soil to the hills covering them
up. This | continued until the maia
stalks had reach sufficient height, and
the soil was drawn about them to level
with the surface of the land. Soon the
laterals came up from six to ten inches
away from the main stalk, and as these

OF the tubers weighed two and one half

with two shoots each, yielded forty two
pounds, or at the rate of 1924 bushels
