At hotel not thousand miles
from Island Pond, there recently ar
rived in season for dinner a dark COM
plexioned gentl sman. He had o good
dinner, people always do that stop at
the hotel in question, and on going to
the office to pay his bill was charged
only rs cents. He expressed surprise
that SO excellent u dinner could be
furnished for this small amount
whereupon the clerk inquired if he
was not the porter of the drawing
room car. The guests surprise here
gave way to indignation, and he
shouted, "NO! - i" "Then
your bill is rs cents" quickly re
sponded the hotel clerk. The gentle
man preferred to pay this amount
rather than pay rs cents and be
dubbed porter of drawing room car.

The Ticking OF q Clock.

Slight though the ticking of clock
may be, its sudden cessation has won
derful influence upon the inmates of a
room in which the timekeeper is located.
A din realization of something wrong
steals over the senses-a feeling as if
something of value had been lost, or
friend had gone away perhaps never to
return, or as if some of the children were
sick, until suddenly some one looks up
and exclaims; "'Why, the clocks
stopped" And Immediately the ILL
defined forebodings dissipate, the little
shadow of gloom melts away, and as the
winding up process is completed, and
the CHEEKY ticking recommences, the
family circle regains its wonted buoy
ancy of spirits and the members wonder
what it was that made them feel so
gloomy few moments before. Pitts

Bringing Out AlligatOrs.

We went out to a Mississippi swamp
accompanied by several negroes, and as
the colonel had promised two bits to the
first black man who should sight an al
ligator, there was a feeling of rivalry
among them. The day was awful hor,
and though alligators were as plenty as
frogs, we beat around for an hour with
out getting 81 hit of one. 1t was their
hour for sleep. AS we finally gathered
on long spit of sand which projected
out into the bayou for 200 feet. the col
onel called up one of the blacks;
"Come, Moses, if you'll swim for it
I'll make the prize half dollar"
Sure | won't be cotchcd, NASSAU
ooh, there's no danger. Here are five
rifles to protect YOU
The negro went half way down the
spit. and then had deep, dark water on
each side OF him. He closely scanned the
surface in all directions, ana then speedily
disrobed and plunged in with great
splash.
Hes batting en-" whispered the
colonel.
"But suppose one of the reptiles seizes
him"
"Then I'll give the money to his
widow"
The black swan out about thirty feet,
kicking and splashing, and we walked
slowly down the spit. All of a sudden
he screamed out and turned for the
shore, and as we looked we saw from
ten to fifteen great saurians making a
bee line for him from as many different
directions. Everybody opened fire, and
the reports of rifles, the yclls OF the
swimmer, and the shouts of the other
blacks made an exciting scene. Two of
us took big alligator which was directly
in the mans wake, and, though we fired
ten or twelve shots at his snout at close
range, he was within three feet of the
negro when the swimmer was pulled out.
He ran his forefeet on the bank, opened
his mouth like a barn door, and as ne
snapped his jaws together q piece of
stick or tooth flew clear over our heads.
The five of us kept firing away, but he
turned apd sailed off as if the bullets
were so many peas. When the battle
ended two of the reptiles were floating
belly up, and they were hauled ashore
and left to be skinned
GLOW did YOU feel?n I asked the
swimmer when he had dressed.
Didn't have no feelings tall, sah -
he replied. at was jist like my arms
an legs war tryin to swim piece Of ice

FARM GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Butter Making.

At the State Dairyman's association
held in Moorhead, Mimi, Colonel T. ID.
Curtis, of New York, gave his views on
the question of butter making, and the
gist of his remarks were that milk should
be set as soon as possible after it is taken
from the COW. In cool weather it is
good idea to set pals of milk in warm
water before stralning, as cream rises
best in falling temperature. To pre-
vent milk from absorbing bad odors, it
should be kept at higher temperature
than surrounding atmosphere; never let
it get below fifty. The milk should
stand before skimming until it begins to
sour to get the best results, or should be
skinned as soon as it begins to sour,
and then the cream should stand twenty
four hours to ripen.
1t is a disadvantage to mix the cream
from different COWS; but when mixed
it should stand twelve hours before
churning. Feed, he said, had a good
deal to do with churning; good succu-
lent food helps TO make butter come.
How quick should churning be done,
was asked, and Mr.. Curtis said he
should do it no faster than an old
fashioned stone dash churn would do it
with forty dashes per minute. A box
churn was as good as can be had. Stop
churnng when globules of butter are
about the size of wheat kernels, and have
water at a temperature OF fifty degrees to
wash and rinse the butter first, and then
weak brine should be used, and then
wash again with clear water The salt
should be stirred in, and it must dissolve
readily. Never rub it in any way, but
use a lever worker, and be careful not
to overworll it. As to packing, always
soak the tub in strong brine before using
it, and then rub little fine salt all over
on the inside. Put the roll of butter in
the center of the bottom of the tub, and
with the stamper press it out from the
middle, and keep on doing so until the
tub is full to within half an inch of the
top, and then cover with a cloth, closely
fitted, and fill up with salt and water.
The tub should be set up from the
ground aud away from the light The
numerous questions which were asked,
Mr.. Curtis answered as follows: Corn
or corn stalks alone are not good feed
for milk cows; bran or clover, or both,
should be fed with them. Barley is good,
if fed moderately and judiciously. Ruta-
bagas will flavor the butter, if fed to ex-
cess. The Ferguson system of open set.
ting is a good thing, and more economi
cal as far as ice is concerned. -O ON

horses cannot be kept in good condition.
with moistened hay.
1t is not uncommon for well bred,
coarse-wooled sheep to farrow twins, and
if well cared for the number of these will
exceed the losses from accident or cold.
The Down varieties OF sheep are most
likely to bear twins, and the ewes have
vigor and milking qualities sufficient to
enable them to rear two lambs until old
enough to eat other food. But unless
additional food is given early and regu
larly the extra lamb will be no profit. 1t
is much better to have one good lamb
than two poor ones.
AS stock in running ever large field
trample down quite as much as they con-
sumo, there is considerable advantage in
dividing pastures so that while one part
is being eaten down the other will be
growing unmolested. Not much of
fence is required to do this, as there is
no great temptation to break over before
the farmer will voluntarily make the
change. But it is not good plan to
accustom stock to poor fences anywhere,
as when once taught to be breachy it is
difficult and often impossible to break
the habit of jumping.
Much of the watering Of cucumber
vines is so injudiciously done as to result
in more harm than good. If cold water
is thrown on the vines in large quantities
it hardens the surface soil and runs off
without beneiiting, except for very lit
tie while. The proper way to water any
vines is to dig a hole in the side of the
hill, fill it with manure water two or
three times and allow this to soak into
the soil on either side. Then replace the
loose earth in the hole and hoe the earth
around the vines to the depth of one or
two inches to retain the moisture.

removed long distance because OF the
indiscrction of cook, who has
broken an egg instead of tapping
knife; and it is said that the stencil of a
very sntique one can be heard for several
miles. When an egg is tapped and
found to be rotten, the hole is immedi
ately covered with quid of tobacco if
the cook happens to have one in his
mouth, otherwise he claps on chunk of
mud, and Immediately digs hole in
which the cause of oifense is buried.
The flesh of the young ostrich is
wholesome and palatabe, having a gamy
flavor, however, resembling that of the
wild turkey of the North American
woods. The tongue and brains are much
coveted by epicures, and used to be set
before the potentates of ancient times
when they gave swell dinner parties.
The breasts are the best part of the body,
and are roasted or broied, while any
portion makes an excellent soup or stew.
He who happens to tackle an old bird,
however, if he is in hungry and quar-
rclsome mood. will discover that there
are other things tougher than sole lcath-
err.
The ostrich is very docilc, tractable
bird, and can be easily domesticated, but
it is sensitive to changes of climate, and
seldom thrives when taken from his ma
tive heath. Those that are shown in
manageries and geological gardens do
not fairly represent the Species and no
one can judge by their appearance of the
beauty of the bird in its wild state.

Vilifed the Eagle, the Pheasant and all
other Birds even to the IIumming Bird.
This continued until Sage had his Gu

Foul Bird and Inquired;
"Why is it that you abuse all the Bird
Creation outside of your own Species !!
Have any of them Injured you?n
"Why, no." replied the owner of the
Smut Machine, "The fact that none of
them will stop to notice me is what
Punctures my Cuticle."

Amy one who has ever visited Kings
ton, Canada, will recall the round towers
which torn part of its extensive forti-
tications. These, it is supposed, were
copied from the similar structures on the
coast of Ireland. which are about to be
demolished. The Irish towers were built
at the time when Lord CORVALLIS was
viceroy of Ireland, at the suggestion of
the Duke of Richmond, who had heard
that the town of Martelo, in Corsica,
had by means of similar defenses sue
cessfully resisted the attack of fleet.
This duke of Richmond afterward be
came governor-general of Canada, and it
was during his career that these Martello
towers were tuilt for Kingston, then
the capital of the united provinces OF
Upper and Lower Canada His death
occurred in 1919 from hydrophobia by
the bite of fox.
