Although everybody goes to the
Plymouth Clothing House for wearing
apparel as naturally as they go to the
poStoffice for postage stamps, few re-
aliZe the enormous extent of the bust
ness required to make the low margins
of profit in the Plymouth Clothing
House prices, OF the great variety and
size of stock needed to suit all tastes,
all occupations.
The store itself is model. In many
respects it is without superior in the
world. Instead of spreading capital
and managing ability over branch
stores in several distant cities, every
thing is concentrated right here to
make Minnesota Institution that is
the pride of the community.
The receipts of fail and winter goods
during the past thirty days have beeu
much larger than at the same time a
year ago. to meet the steady increase in
business.
To make room for this volume of
stock, every inch of available Salesroom
in the entire building has been utilized.

all the best raw skin they can get.
The Fur Garments manufactured in
the Plymouth Fur Work Rooms find
their way all over the country to the
best city trade.
One very extensive fashion for gen.
tlemen at present day is that of wearing
fur collars and cuffs on winter over
coats. This very sensible fashion, al
ways in style in Minnesota, now becom-
ing prevalent in all the Northern states,
is being met by the leading clothing
manufacturers of fine ready-made
clothing.
The leading New York, Boston and
Chicago clothing manufacturers find it
to their advantage to buy these fur col

Proceedings in an Alleged Case
OF KidnaDing.

There was an exciting scene at the
court house yesterday morning as J. w.
Arnold, the attorney, appeared before
Judge Hooker in an exceedingly wrathy
state of mind and without his breakfast.
He wanted three-year-old girl whom
he claimed had been kidnapped by Delos
Mattson and wife, of 1903 Seventh

he had learned by accident that
MIR. and Mrs. MattSon were about to
take the child and obtain consent from
the court to adopt it. Attorney Arnold
said that he wished the court to under

outrage, but the court continued the
matter until it can be heard to better
advantage.

CARP CULTURE.
Some Hard Facts About the Raising OF

ure. AS l have had some experience,
having been in the business about six
years, / will tell you what know about
the business. In the first place carp
culture was exaggerated. Too many
had an axe to grind, and created false
impression with regard to growth and
general culture of the fish. They would
make people believe that they grew to
the weight of from two to three pounds
at two years old, and that all that was
required was pond and few fish to
start with generally costing a good
price, spring hatch selling at ten to fiji,
teen dollars per hundred, that can now
be bought for one dollar), and success
was certain. In a few cases these state.
ments may have been true, but in the
end it discouraged many who launched
into the business and were unsuccessful.
The majority of ponds are too small
They should contain nearly an acre to
raise fish without too much care. Care
and feeding are likely to make the fish
come too high. AS to quality, some
complain. i have neighbor who has
two ponds, who mas almost abandoned
their culture because he does not like
the quality, but have no complaint.
think that lover of the finny tribe will
think it very fair fish. AS to having
living water for ponds, in my expert
ence it is not necessary. l have pond
supplied by tile drains which has
proved very good. The land that sup
plies the water is ridge land, not very
wet, but there are spots that are too
wet for wheat without draining, and in
draining these l supply my pond and
have plenty of pure water for both fish
and the cutting of ice to supply my ice

otherwise would do. But you must

Hints for the Household and Suggestions
to Practical Housewives.
A small box filled with lime and placed
on shelf in a panty or closet will abb
sorb dampness and keep the air in the
closet dry and sweet.
When you are mending gloves slip a
polished pecan nut into the fingers and
see how easily you can mend it without
hurting the shape of the glove. AS the
surface is highly polished nut is very
easily managed, and you can have
no idea, until you try it, how convenient
one is in mending.
A Turkish towel joined in bag fashion
and shirred over a dress steel that is ar
ranged to form a circle makes very
pretty bag for soiled collars, etc. The
fringe is allowed to hang below the shir-
ring on the outside, and the bag is sus-
pended by wide ribbons, which may
match or contrast with the colors in the
towel.
If you are so fortunate as to possess
an open Fireplace, gather for it all the
pine cones and twigs and sprigs and
cedar you can lay your hands on, and
dry them. In the long winter evenings
throw them on the blazing logs, and
they will make such CHEEKY sparkle
and pervade the room with delicious
woody odor that will delight you.
A new process for burning coal with
out smoke has lately been discovered.
1t consists in sprinkling water contain
ing special preparation of resin over
the coal, and the result is that there is
no smoke, and the glow is as intense as
coke. An authority vouches for the
fact that it works admirably, and in its
fire is q remarkable improvement on
coke.
For luXuriant growth of green in
winter, put some Jumps of charcoal in
the bottom of suitable vessel, hya-
cinth glass will answer, and fill it with
water. Put in thrifty slips of ivy or
tradescantia. If sand is used place the
stems firmly in it, AS the water evap-
orates fill with fresh. A beautiful effect
IS produced by simply placing a handful

KILLED HIS HORSES.

A Maryland Farmer Fed Corn and Glover
Silage with Costly Results.

silage some two winters ago with good
results, but subsequently came to the
conclusion it was much better for cattle
than horses, and have not fed it since to
horses, except occasionally as change.
am feeding my dairy COWS on corn
silage at this time with great success.
Expecting to have number of hogs to
winter on an adjoining farm and not
having silo, dug pit in the field,
cut and packed sixteen wagon frames of
green clover into it, most of it perfectly
wet and green. (The rain at the time

hogs, but losing all my hogs by cholera
in the fall i determined when opening
the pit, If in good condition, to feed the
silage to horses and cattle. / omitted
to say, after packing it in the pit we
covered the mass with wheat straw and
returned four feet of dirt on it. In this
way it remained until in December,
when it was opened and found to be in
good condi tion, the bio ON and leaf of
the clover perfect in form, in color

well on it for about four weeks, when
we found two of the horses down in their
stalls and before midday they died, We

AN OUTLYING PRoFEssloN.7
One of the Curious Features In the Trade
In Old Hats.

One of the Curious Features In the Trade
In Old Hats.
No one would ever imagine that there
could be any caste in the old hat busi-
ness, but there Is man in this city en-
gagged in that humble calling who would
be disposed to knock you down If you
named him in the same day with the
peripatetic vagabonds who go about
buying up old hats. This man is an
artist in his profession. He is a prac
tical halter who finds there is more
money in buying and selling old hats
than in making new ones He does not
cry out his wares or go from door to
door. He has his regular customers, and
they are confined exclusively to the hat
jobbers.
When an out-of-town customer visits
the city to buy goods the first thing the
jobber does is to remark that the hat he
Is wearing is little shabby.
'Just little dusty" the customer
will probably remark remembering that
he had put on new hat when he left
home.
But the jobber, knowing that a little
personal attention is always profit table,

mans hat, throws it under the counter,
and presents him with one of the best
he has in stock. These old hats soon
accumulate in the busy season, running
up to as many as dozen day. In the
majority of cases they are practically as
good as new. 1t has been remarked,
however, that customers from Connecti-
oft, New Jersey and Philadelphia, know.
ing that they are sure to get fine new
hat free of charge, always put on their
most dilapidated headgear when they
are leaving home. How our friend, the
old hat man, ever caught on" to this
peculiar feature of the hat business will
never be known. He knows he has
soft snap and can not be prevailed
upon to talk shop, for fear that COM
petition might some fine day make
him realize, with Othello, that his oc-
cupation is gone. He is good busi-
ness man. He buys cheap and sells
dear. He never grades the stock when
he buys. Even though a hat has been
worn only one day, it is an old hat with
him. A quarter apiece is the orthodox
price he pays, though he mas been some
times known to give one dollar for three
extra fine hats Every day he makes
round of the jobbing-houses, and sell
dom goes home without getting his bag
filled.
Once at home his trade as a halter
serves him in good stead. He has all
his tools and materials at hand, and it
is pretty bad hat that he can not make
look as good as new. The best hats are
supplied with a new sweatband and
lining, and many of them find their way
into the smaller hat stores, where they
are sold as brand new. The others are
disposed of to the Baxter street dealers,
who are well able to get for them as
much as they are worth.-N.Y. Evening

1t will be seen that barley holds its own
in flesh-forming constituents, and in
fattening properties it almost equals
corn and rye and has nearly three times
the value of oats in this respect. 1
have grown barley for several years
as a feed crop and have fed it to horses,
cattle, sheep and hogs with very salts
factory results. Especially do consider
ita valuable feed to fatten hogs for early
fall markets. 1t can be had very soon
after harvest is over, before new corn is
fit for feed, and when ground and fed in
heavy slop form it is unsurpassed as a
flesh and fat former. These two quail
ties are so nicely combined as to mako
very quick returns in intelligent feed
ing. I have fed 1t mixed with bran to
ewes and lambs with good results. The
spring barley known as the Meusury is,
l suppose, the most profitable kind to
grow. With fairly good land it will
yield forty bushels per acre, and with
the twine binder to harvest it the crop
is easily secured and the handling of it
a small matter. have had good success
in getting a good stand of clover with
the spring sowing of barley, much bet
ter than where attempted with oats.
Taken all in all, l think it is one of the
most profitable farm crops for the farm
er to raise.-Orange Judd Farmer.

FRUIT CULTURE.

This Is "a Short Article, But Well Worth
Reading.
There is charm about fruit culture,
says the Western Rural. People go to
California and pay hundreds of dollars
an acre for fruit lands. They 60 to
Washington and pay two hundred dol
lars an acre for land that would not sell
for more than forty dollars per acre at
the outside for other purposes. And yet
none of us need be told that fruit cult
ure does not always pay. Still it is per-
haps true that years together, If proper
ly managed, it will pay we'll. As is
frequently remarked, one great obstacle
to successful fruit growing is found in
the increasing insect enemies. But they
are an enemy that increased knowledge
and persistence will enable US to con-
quer. The necessary knowledge to do
this is being rapidly spread. Our exper-
iment stations are giving constant at
tention to finding the best means of
fighting insects, and they are doing
grand work in that direction.
When the kerosene emulsion was rec
commended very excellent insecticide
was found; and now the arsenites have
been tried and found to be about perfec-
tion as insecticides. We can get the
best Of the insects If we try.
1t will not do to attempt to grow fruit
without the necessary knowledge to do
1t. People in the city often go into the
country and try it They imagine that
all there is to do is to plant tree, and
lol the fruit will coma. They are disap-
pointed, as every ore with knowledge of |
fruit growing expects they will be. But
unfortunately lack of knowledge IL
not confined to the amateur fruit grow
or A good many people who were born
ON q farm and have lived on farm all
their lives seem not yet to have learned
tbat II crop of fruit is to be grown,
the plants that grow II, or the trees that
grow 1T, must have attention ~ we'll as
