THEY WEIGHED MIR. FRESH.

very fresh young man has been hang
ing around Fulton Market of late. He
has made the boys very tired these
frightfully hvt days. lie is quite Joker
in his way. He likes to stop market
man who has Il quarter section of n Texas
steer on his back and say:
''That's great trick, isn't III"
"What trick?H asks the markctman.
Then the fresh young man, with a
tantalizing smirll on his face, answers:
Patrick"
Yesterday afternoon Mr. Fresh amused
himself by going around Boosting about
his weight.
'I'll bet you don't weigh more than
40 pounds" remarked one of the bows.
"What'll you bet 1 don't?' inquired
Mr. Fresh, who really tipped the scales
Mt twenty pounds more than that, and
who was tickled to death to have a
chance to make little sure money. :;
"Ill bet you ST." said the market
boy.
Il hear you talk" replied Mr.. Fresh,
putting the bone in bystander's hand.
''Lct's go over to the ferry house"
''Pshaw!" exclaimed the market boy.
II wouldn't bet cent on those nickel
machines. If you win my money you'll
have to get it on the square"
''But there are no scales around here"
argued Mr.. Fresh
''That's all right, young fellow"
spoke up strappng big marketman,
who thought nothing of putting whole
carcass on his back. 'sJust leave it to
me and Ill weigh you. 1 lift so many
quarters every day can tell your weight
to pound. Let me catch hold of your
hands and raise you Off the floor"
As the market boy was perfectly will
ing TO settle the bet in this way, MIR.
Fresh consented. The human scales
turned his back toward Mr.. Fresh and
reached out his hands behind him. He
steadicd himself IL moment, and, secur-
ing firm hold on Mr.. Frcsh's wrists.
had him spread out on his back in mo-
mcnt.
Just when Mr.. Fresh felt that he had
been held there long enough to ascertain
his weight whistle was heard, and n
score ~ market boys, all armed with bar
rel slaves, swarmed around the scene.
Each raised his stave in the air, and as
the human scales bent his back and gave
his live burden the proper tension, there
was sound of dull, sickcning thuds,
mingled with series of shrieks, the like
OF which had never been heard in tho
market since the day of its construction.
When Mr.. Fresh once more touched
terra iirma the slaves and their wieldcrs
had disappeared as mystcriously as they
came, and nothing but suppressed roars
OF laughter gave evidence that the hooks
and crannics served as hiding places for
lot of frolickcrs.
With tears in his eyes and his clothes
we'll busted, Mr.. Fresh sneakod away.
without as much as asking for his share
of the stakes.-NeD York Sun.

Ducks when properly handled pay
even better than chickens.
When you wcan the lambs give them
rich grass OF clover pasture
The farmer is harvesting hi; wheat
and oats Tine hens will help him clean
up stray grain.
Land plaster is Il cheap absorbent
and renders the stable much purcr and
the manure much more valuable.
Lice and kerosene oil fail to harmon
nc. II YOU notice the former apply the
latter vigorously over roosts and nests.
There is no advantage in sowing the
seed unless there is sufficient moisture in
the soil to induce Il quick termination.
Get ready for early lambs. Oxford or
Southdown make Il good cross. What
ever breed you Use. it will pay to use II
pure bred ram
a seed bed three inches deep, made
thoroughly fine, will be much better
than six inches of loose soil not thor
oughly prepared.
lncubators are nov made so perfect
that even the hens look OH them with
wonder and amazcmcnt Pretty hard to
lose ones trade, isn't it.
The time for sowing must be de-
tcrmincd by the season, the condition
OF the soil, and the danger from grass
hoppcrs, flies and chinch bugs.
Do not invest too largely in new, I'M
tried varieties. There is no harm i'll test
ing them on n small scale, but use Il
standard variety for the main crop.
BE sure that the seed wheat does not
contain cheat, rye, cookie, or other fine
seeds. There IS usually sufficient
quantity i'll the soil without sowing.
The custom followed by great many
farmers of using spring pig in November
and December to sire their next spring
crop Of pigs is not to be commended.
The day of stockcrs, kept on the farm
as such, is gone by, or at least should be;
from the tcat to the shambles every pig
should be considered fatteninp animal
To produce good wool, the sheep must
have the proper food. There is no better
hay than clover for sheep, and no better
grain than oats and bran with little oil.
meal
Poultry culture is one of the most
healthy employments that any one can
be engaged in. If you want exercise
and pleasure combined, try flock Of nice
fowls.
The quantity of seed should be gagged
by the time of sowing, the fertility and
condition of the soil and the quality of
the seed used, as we'll as the way it is
sown.
Corn land that has been we'll cultiva-
ted during the growing season can often
be properly fitted for wheat without
blowing, if care be taken to harrow
thoroughly.
Owners of horses and cattle are realiz-
ing more than ever before the necessity
OF keeping their stalls clean and healthy.
Land plaster makes one of the very best
absorbcnts.
Don't forget the calves during hot
weather. They would like the privilege
of having drink OF water once in a
while through the day, as well rs milk
night and morning.

EXTRACTED or COME uoxrT

The greatest yield of honey can be OBJ
tanned by extracting, MS it can he cx-
iractcd from the combs without awaiting
their sealing up. II seems to take the
bees about MS long to seal over the combs
as to fill them with honey. We can,
therefore, get double the number of
pounds OF extracted honey that We can
of comb. Beside keeping the combs
cmpticd of their contents, there is the
additional advantage of keeping the bees
working right along filling the combs.
Bees thus treated are not so liable TO
swarm, MS they have at all times album
dance of room for storing honey. 1t is
true we may give them large surplus
room, but when this is filled with comb
honey 1t is not completed. Several days
are necessary to ripcn the honey and seal
the cells. With limited storage they
make preparations to swarm, and then
plentiful storage room will not prevent it.
Of the two methods of producing honey.
comb aud extracted, the latter does not
require more than half The labor. II has
been said that extracted honey does not
bring as high a price. But in the ma
Iority of cases the apiarist is making
more money from extracted honey, be-
cause he is producing three or more
pounds to one. True, there are few
specialists who make the raising OF comb
honey study, and those probably re-
ceivc the greatest profits. But the masses
find much difficulty in producing comb
honey. when they can easily produce
large crops of extracted. TO succeed
properly in raising profitable crops OF
honey requires the greatest skill and study
of anything connected with the apiary.
1t Is beginning ut the wrong end to raise
comb honey first, instead of the more
simple and easy method of using the OK.

TIE TYPOS REyENcE

Jack 1ioDcrts tells funny yarn about
the rules OF printing offices. 1t had been
posted Oh the bulletin board of New

the time of day in figures. This was
done to secure uniformity. Jack had de-
parted from the rule once and been adj
monishcd by the foreman. He said it
would never happen again. The next
night an editor, in reading over the proof
of an article, thought to Improve it by
inserting the we'll known line of
poetry
Meet me in the lane, love, at half-past
nine"
Well, the proof was passed over to
Jack for him to correct and this is how
it appeared the next morning:
