He Didn't Sec the Point.

lie DIDN'T see the Point
There is one story on Tim Campbell which
he himself relates and which has not yet seen
the light Of day; story the point of which
Tim has probably not seen himself yet, for he
tells it in an innocent way which, Of course,
adds much to its flavor.
Mr. Campbell has a strong appreciation Of
his dignity. 1t does not oppress-it sustains
and comforts him. Not long ago be was
walking through the corridors of the house
wing of the Capitol when 8 woman spoke to

house,"
Mr. Campbell drew himself to his full
height.

around here to do that thing and he empha-
sized his remark with a sweeping gesture,
which included in its scope the entire force Of
house employees from the clerk TO the door

Remarkable Law Suit.

PRovDEScE, X. l., September 1.-THE
basement of the county court house was full
OF cats to-day, and the halls and corridors OF
justice echoed with the bowls of the felines
who had been corralled from the several
states in New England some being brought
here in baskets from distance of 400 miles.
The presence of the caterwauling tribe was
occasioned by another hearing in she first
and only cat case brought in this stale. case
which brings into prominence the family Of
Noble d. w. Demunn and Miss Caroline
Richmond. Both families belong to the
upper crust ofsociety and both claim own
ship OF a tortoise cat. The Demunus owned
the animal and it strayed TO Miss Rich
monds house and she has kept it, The De-
munns introduced expert testimony last
Saturday to prove the age of the cat, and
they apparently won the case The other
side was given until to day to put in rebuilt
ing evidence, and this consisted of the col
lection Of cats referred to which had been
gathered regardless of ofexpense By a young
man who was on the road all week picking
up tortoise cats with pedigrees sworn to for
the purpose of springing them on the expert
and confounding him as to his knowledge Of
ages. Unfortunately for the Richmonds the
expert was not here to be confounded and
so they went to great deal of needless ex-
pense. At Miss Riehmond's instance the
reporters were excluded from the hearing
and the greater part OF the day was taken mp
with the secret inquiry upon which de-
cision is 10 be given by the master in chan
Gerry, who is acting as arbitrator.

In reply 10 numberless queries from
farmers whose grain crops have b9en

calls attention to tsle fact that this pest
has many insect enemies that prey upon
it. and In the absence Of Gny known
remedy advises farmers to encourage
these insect friends.
There are two groups Of these bene-
fetal insects. predaceous and parasitic.
Pretaceous insects are such as deYOur

their eggs on or in their victims. The

Il kas always been accepted that in

Is greater than the general death rate.
This belief has recently been contro-
Verted. as FAR as New York city is con

IL was found that last year the general

IL was found that the death rate in large
tenement houses is less than in the

seeding Tor Clover.

In seeding for clover on very sandy
soil IL viii 10 necessary to supply sut-
ficient humus in the form Of deoayed
vegetable matter or barn yard manure

with a rapidity commensurate with the
inclination and means of the owner.
A correspondent Of the New Jersey
station found that on his sandy soil. when
clover was sown alone. weeds took pos

small amount Of clover secured by late
cutting Of comparatively little value.
By sowing nliilei and glover togetheF, he

to that secured by Others who seeded
without millet and secured little or no
benefit from the first cut because of

The seed may be in fall or spring,
depending upon local conditions and eli

best results come from sowing in the
spring. and quite often on the late SHOWS.
In all cases it should be as evenly dis

should be done early, with the ground

Grass Is IA natural food for swine rs
for any other class of animals. though
this fact does NOT appear to he duly ap-
preciated. 'rbis importance of pasture
is emphasized by Mr.. F. ID. Curtis in a
recent issue Of american Agriculturist.
He says: The best results can be had
with breeding sows by turning them
into a field where there is plenty Of pas
ture. 1t is not advisable to allow them
to have pigs where other hogs run. al
though in a large range there Is little
danger Of the pigs being disturbed or in

Sows that destroy their pigs in the
spring will make good mothers in the

all these cheap foods are so natural and
healthful for swine, il seems strange
that so many farmers persist in keeping
their hogs, the year round, on grain.
An acre Of sweet corn. fed stalks and
an, will 20 long way towards fatten-
ing a lot Of hogs. Sorghum is also ex-
cellent. Weeds are allowed TO 60 TO
seed. for extra work next year, which
would make excellent pork.
Here is a maxim: The cheapest foods
make the best Rark. The reason is IL Is
the leanest. lean pork then being the
best. we should try TO make IL. Con-
finement in pens tends to increase the
fat. Exercise develops the muscles.
The muscular part is the best food. The
fat is largely wrste. We make fat to

for the fat. but for the lean. When the
fat is wasted il makes the lean cost just
so much more. Reduce the fat and in
crease the lean.
Can this be done; Certainly; in this
way: Keep the pigs all their lives in the
pasture. Feed skim iaiik and bran.
Keep corn away from them. Give them
vegetables and apples with the bran.
When the bodies or frames are grown
give them oatmeal or rye. ground entire,
mixed with bran, putting in twice as
much bran as rye. Keep pp the vegetable
and apple diet and allow them during this
time 70 eat all the grass they will. A
