A Dog that Steals Cheese,

A writer from the Buffalo Courier
has discovered a dog with a most re-
markable appetite. The other day the
dogs owner bought a dozen cheeses,
and when they came they were set on a
shelf in the laundry, the weather being
so cold that it was not necessary to put
them in the refrigerator. A few hours
later, when it came time to place the
cheeses on the table, they were no.
where to be found. The dog had q
don t-ask-me-any-questions expression
on his face, and it was believed he had
stolen them. Still, as they were
wrapped in tin foil, it did not seem as
though the dog could have relished
them, and that if he had attempted to
steal them he would have attracted at.
tention.
The disappearance of the cheeses re-
manned mystery for quite two weeks,
when the mistress of the house was one
afternoon attracted to the yard by the
barking of the dog, and on going to the
side door she saw the dog pull out from
under pile of rubbish one of the
missed cheeses. He then carefully I'M
rolled the foil with his paws and de-
voured the contents with undisguised
gusto. The remarkable part of it was
that the dog had had sufficient sagacity
to store the cheeses and partake of them
each day, instead of disposing of the
entire number at one sitting, as most
dogs and probably all children would
do. His love for cheese is accounted
for by the fact that his randparents

"why Didn't You Let Him Go:

In a city near New York, a man was
struggling to hold FESTIVE horse which
was hitched to wagon, and was trying
to break away from his control. The
ungovernable brute reared and plunged
and finally started to run.
The driver held on, twisting the reins
about his wrists, determined to control
the fractions beast.
LET him go! Let him gop' cried
the bystanders; 'EYou can't hold him
Let him go Why don't you let him
go? ?"
The driver paid no heed to these
cries; he held on with all his strength
and as last resort wrapped the reins
around his neck. The bystanders
rushed to his rescue, and after strug-
gle the horse was caught and quoted
and the poor man liberated, the blood
gushing from his mouth and nose.
'tWhy didn't you let him go" said a
bystander "Your life is worth hun

Divorced and Married.
From the Cincinnati ENQUIRER.


A novel divorce suit has just been
terminated in the Owen County lind.
circuit court. The parties to the suit
were John w. and Sarah ]. Medaris
who had lived happily as hus-
band and wife for seven years
with not cloud to mar their domestic
felicity. About two months ago third
party, named Elijah Starrett, of Clay
County, made his debut in the neighbor-
hood of the Medaris household. He
met Mrs. Medaris, and it was a case of
love at first sight. A GOODNESS sprung
up between the husband and wife. The
result was suit for divorce by mutual
agreement, which is best related as fol-
lows:
1.-THE parties to this suit agree that
they will separate by agreement and
that each shall testify in behalf of the
other" With this understanding they
went into open court and testified in the
case. The judge granted decree of di-
vorcement, and within fifteen minutes
the newly divorced lady, ACCOMPANIED
by Elijah Starrett, presented her
self before the now astonished judge
and demanded that he say the marriage
ceremony for them. Within fifteen
minutes, and by the same judge, Mrs.
Medaris was the wife of Mr.. Starrett.

Whole Grain for Small Chickens.

Much ofthe feeding of chickens is OF
soft food. 1t is easily picked up by the
little fellows, and they can quickly fill
their crops from dab of wet meal
thrown on the ground before them
This too rapid eating is one of the
worst evils in artiicially feeding young
chickens. They gorge themselves, be-
come surfeited and die. We have
found whole wheat grain much better,
beginning for two or three days by
breaking the grains in two pieces 1t
does not matter, however, if the little
fellow is forced to do this work himself.
He will struggle with a wheat or oat
grain two or three minutes, and at last,
after desperate struggle, swallow it.
The very hardness of the whole grain
keeps his food from compacting in his
crop. We would not, however, feed
whole corn to very young chicks; nor
indeed corn ground into meal, as their
principal diet.

Worth Remembering,

When the cattle are put on grass too
early both are injured.
The note that is not due till two
years will be harder on you than the
note due in year.
Counting our chickens before they are
Matched would not be so bad did we
first candle the eggs.
The successful farmer is one that
makes ten per cent. on the money he
has lost through mistakes.
The horse with plenty of currycomb
outside and oats inside doesn't show his
ribs before midsummer.
1t is poor rule that doesn t work both
ways; nevertheless. both lending and
borrowing are Improbable.
None but good farmer can make s
per cent. on borrowed money; and he is
the last farmer to do it.
Bad tempered cows, dull ploWs, and
weak fences ought to be evils unendur-
able, for they are not immovable.
The man who allows the riyulets to
get his manure is always sure that the
government is robbing the people.
What doth it profit man if he keeps
the weeds down on his farm and allows
them to grow on the highway

Better have your heart in your work
and eighty acres, than a quarter section
and be at odds with your occupation.
There are now hundred rivulets on
the farm, yet it is cheaper to give the
animals drink from a we'll protected
from surface water.
1t is false notion that is responsible
for grlevOuS evil, that cheap teacher is
good enough for the summer term, be-
cause all the pupils are small.
It is better to take a little liver medi-
cine than to grumble and feel blue, and
the man who has had fruits during the
winter will not need the medicine.
Good highways are impossible as long
as the highway tax is worked out by
the tax payers. Collect the tax in
money and let the work publicly to the
lowest responsible bidder.--American

Chinese Wives on Strike
From the London News


The most extreme advocates OF
women's rights in the Western world
seem to be but mild and timid theorists
compared with the women folk in the
district of Shun-te, in Kuantung. In
this part of the Celestial Empire we are
told by the Chinese Times that the young
women league themselves into societies,
and solemnly vow that they will not
marry, or that if they marry they will
not live with their husbands until every
member of their society has entered in
to matrimony. In accordance with
these vows, the brides invariably 90
back to their homes after the ceremony
and do not make their appearance
among their husbands family again eX-
cept on the occasion of New Year and
other important festivals. Then they
"come over" and, after remaining for a
day or so, during which time they
partake of neither food nor drink, they
take themselves off with the greatest ex-
petition possible. Those husbands who
are able to enjoy the society of their
wives within two or three years after
marrying are, we are assured, rare and
exceptional instances of good fortune.
The darkest feature of the business,
however, is vet to come; for it appears
that upon the occasion of one of these
flying visits force is employed to detain
the ladies' They always turn this COM

summer, but it is impracticabIe under

summer, but it is impracticabIe under
these conditions.
Sad experience mas proved this Last
year deadly frost passed over our
sowed corn, and farmers cut it up to
cure it. About the last of October I
rode far through the section; the spec
tacle was appalling, most of the corn was
yet in the field and black and mouldv.
1t is true that we occasionally have drv
season, when this would be much modi-
fed, but such would be the exception.
The best part of the corn treated in this
way is gone. The wind, rain and sun
have either washed out its sugar and
juices, or converted them into indigesti-
BILE woody fibre; it's palatableness has
been destroyed and its beautiful green
color has disappeared.
But there is way in which the farm
er can take advantage of these excellent
properties of corn as forage plant by
keeping it for winter use, and that is by
preserving it in the silo. In this way it
will not be wasted, but its juices will all
be preserved, and instead of It's sugar
being rendered indigestible, the indi-
gestible starch will be converted into
sugar.
Whatever has been said against the
silo, it is most certainly coming into
favor. The more it is used, the more
easily it is found that it can be managed
and cheaply constructed. Any wooden
building reasonably strong and tight,
with the bottom we'll drained answers
the purpose. While I do not claim
that the crop of common grass should
be stored in the silo but made into hay.
I do claim that those plants which can
not be easily exposed to the weather
should be preserved in it, giving us en-
silage not as the sole food Of stock, but
only to be fed in connection with hay,

Enoch Arden, with Variations.

A romantic story is reported from An
derson County, S. c. In June, 1865,
William Smith, young Georgian, ar
rived in the neighborhood of Stony
Greek on his way home from the war.
Here he met Miss Mary Manly, the
belle of the village, and Immediately
fell in love with her. After a brief
courtship they were welded and lived
happily together until August of the
same year, when Smith left his bride to
pay brief visit to his parents in Georgia
He promised to return in 10 days
Days, weeks and months passed by, but
Smith failed to return. In the course of
four or five years Mrs. Smith, still be-
ing unable to obtain any tidings of her
missing husband, mourned HIM as dead,
and eventually married another man,
also named Smith. With the latter she
lived happily Is years, when he died.
Mrs. Smith was working in the garden
last Saturday afternoon, when stranger
walked up the path, and approaching
her, addressed her by her Christian
name. She stared at him in amazement
a few seconds, and then recognized her
long lost first husband. The meeting
was an affectionate one, and the two are
now living together as man and wife al

sowed Corn for Winter Use.

In the whole catalogue of forage
plants there is not one that possesses so
many good qualities as Indian corn. In
all countries from the equator
to the temperate regions it can
be grown with profit. It succeeds on
all foundations. producing, abundant
crops on the most sandy soil or stitfest
clays, and it's management is simple
and we'll understood. When properly
cured, its feeding value is equal to the
best hay. 1t is an excellent food for
mich COWS, not only increasing the
quantity but the quality Of the milk. It
will repay heavy manuring, and en-
dure the effects of it better than most
plants, and the quantity of corn fodder
that can be grown on a single acre,
when thoroughly cultivated and ma
nured, is surprising.
Corn is much grown in this section for
soiling stock during the later months of
summer when the flush of feed is over.
But possessing all these good qualities
as a forage plant, the farmer is contin-
ually looking for other ways in which
he can use it. IF he can grow it for
winter use, it will be Of material adj
vantage to him. Thereby he can in
crease the amount of fodder put in
store for winter, winter more animals,
make more manure, increase the pro-
ductiveness of his soil, and enhance the
profits of his business in general. Thus
many grow sowed corn, and attempt to
cure it for winter use. Some seasons
frosts come early and kill it, when it
can be saved from damage by curing for
winter use.
But all attempts at curing a large sue
culent corn stalk, containing 81 per
cent of water, at season of the year
when rains are frequent, dews are
heavy, days are short, and weather
cold, are sheer nonsense. 1t would
answer quite we'll with any other plant,
or ripe corn, and containing not half as
much water, or during the heat of the

An Incident of the Blizzard.
From the Worcester Spy


1t was Tuesday morning. and the
scene was the railroad office of one of
the roads leading out of Worcester
The manager was up to his ears in bust
ness. His Office was thronged with
people, some of whom had and some of
whom had not, legitimate business with
him. There were conductors asking
for orders, engineers on the same err
rand, laborers seeking employment,
snow-plough men to know whether they
should start or not, would-be passengers
anxious to find out when the road
would be opened, and newspaper men
impatient to get the latest information
from stalled trains The manager pre-
served his equanimity pretty well, is
sued orders coolly, took reports from
the telegrapher and occasionally
vouchsafed a word or two to the
reporters The telephone bell rang re-
peatedly, but in the activity of the mo-
ment it did not receive much attention

Soured Milk as Feed.

Many people can safely drink sour
milk, while their stomachs are too
weak to digest that which is still sweet.
This is true of animals. The calf put
upon diet of slightly soured milk may
scour, but it is usually not from the
sourness of the milk, but from it's lower
temperature. A pailful or half full of
cold, sour milk chills the digestive or
gans, and diarrhea is the only way in
which the stomach can dispose of it's in

These Are the Facts.
From the Detroit Jonrnal.

An exceedingly timid and conserva-
tive morning paper says: Games
Mayo, one day last week. killed a rat
tie snake on his farm in Penfeld. The
reptile had seven rattles and was TWEEN
ty-six inches long" The facts in the
case are that Mayo first picked up the
snake one cold day last fall, when the
reptile was frozen almost stiff, and af-
ter hammering the kinks and crooks
out of him, and finding him still tough
and reliable, he used him all winter fol
sled stake. Last Tuesday the sled
was placed under a warm shed, and
the snake thawed out. Mayo didn't
like to kill him, but thought best to do
so on account of the children, and he
knew he could get another next fall.
