a Queer s,,l,rs..t.s,.,..

A freak of nonsense E"t noticeable in
a little child becomes decidedly queer
in a grown-up girl-e,recialiy If it
makes her run after q man. A sample
Of the small absurdities that people
half believe long after they know better
was witnessed the other day by q re-
porter of the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Two young women were sauntering
along Eighth street, when they became
separated by the crowd, and a tall man
passed rapidly between them. One Of
the girls Immediately started after him.
She didn't like to run, but his long
strides were fast taking him beyond her
reach.
"Mister!!" she called, but mister didn't
hear her.
Then she broke into that peculiar
gait which passes for running among
her sex, and catching him by the arm,
breathlessly said:
won't your
And without waiting for permission
she went around in front of him to his
other side. Then she smiled.
"That's all" she said. "Thank you"
"But it isn't ALL" said the man; why
did you want to go around me?"
why, you see, you went between
my friend and me, and that's a disap-
pointment, you know. So I ran after
you and went around you, so that it is
now just as if you didn't go between

A Mushroom Manufacturer.
mushroom manufacturer" is the
latest thing in novelties, even in these
days when a commercial license is often
carried to the uttermost possible length.
An individual living in the Department
OF Aveyron, struck by the high price at
which mushrooms were being sold in his
district conceived the idea Of fabricat-
ing the delicacy of the turnips. He cut
the turnips into rounds, dried them,
and after giving them a dab of the
paint brush, disposed of them to unsus-
pecting customers as the genuine arti-
Gle. For some time he drove thriving
trade, but unluckily for him he one day
sold q batch to q gourmet who was not
so easy to be taken in. Indignant at
the trick played on him the gourmet
brought an action which has just re-
suited in the condemnation of the mush-
room manufacturer to two months i'm
prisonment. 1t was in vain that he
pleaded that he had enabled his fellow
citizens to regale themselves on a vege-
table which they regarded as a good
specimen of the mushroom at q cost far
below that commanded by the real arti-
Gle. Vain, too, were his efforts to de-
monstrate that his mushrooms could be
consumed without entailing disastrous
consequences on lovers of the delicacy.
The Court turned q deaf ear to his
specious arguments, and has allowed
him two months; leisure to mediate On
the error of substituting dried turnips
for honest mushrooms.AParis Cor. of

anyone to answer my ring. Isolated
as I was in this large and gloomy
chamber, my mind was agitated with
vague fears, and it must have been
nearly two hours before Igot to sleep.
How long this state lasted / do not
know, when suddenly I awoke. In a
moment I was wide awake, staring be-
fore me into the black darkness. Why
was I doing this? Iasked myself, but
could not give any answer. Something
must have happened to awake me:
What was it? wondered. I looked
and listened. There was only black
ness and silence.
For many seconds I lay thus peering
and listening, and was just on the point
of shutting my eyes again, when, glar-
ing at them through the darkness l
saw two other eyes, and hot on my
cheek came the breath of something
man, or beast, or monster! l drew my
head some inches back; the eyes, to
which mine were riyeted, advanced. l
felt a form bending over the side OF the
bed 1T stopped. The eyes stopped, the
form became motionless. In the pure
agony of the moment-actuated by that
alone-I rose a little in my bed, and
bent my head forward. The form als
rose, and the eyes, which were stll1
fastened to mine, retreated. AS they
did so, to my unutterable horror, l
djscerned the outline of a human lace!

Salt Water in the Stable,

A most excellent preventive Of gall is
to battle the shoulders each evening with
strong salt water, commencing six weeks
before active spring work begins, and
continuing the bathing during the sum-
mer. An English veterinary surgeon,
who has tested the above for ten years,
says: I'm the stable keep an old fruit
can, into which l throw small handful
of salt and then add the necessary water.
This is stirred until the salt is dissolved,
and the solution is applied to the shout
ders with cloth tied around the end of
corn cob. The roughness Of the cob
holds the cloth well in place. Using this
avoids getting the salt water on the
hands-an agreeable precaution, especi.
ally if the skin on your hand is broken.
When the horses are at work wash
their shoulders clean with clear water as
soon as the harness is removed in the
evening, and then apply the salt water.
1t cools and eases the shoulders, and the
horses like it,"

fact well known to bee keepers that
other things being equal-bees will do as
well IN a section Of hollow log, nail

patent arrangement ever invented, the
difficulty being that one cannot properly
handle them in such receptacles to make
them profitable; therefore, the simplest
and least expensive hives are the best
Let them be well made Of seasoned wood

AGRICULTURAL NOTES..
DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF,
AMERICAN AGRlCULTuRlSTS,
meadows and Hay-Timothy and Glover.
When to Cut Grasses for Hay-The
opinio ns OF Several Prominent Gull
tlvators on Hay Making,

Timothy ana clover are two important
grasses upon which rests much of the
country's agricultural wealth. u. b.
Terry, the well known Ohio farmer.
whose success with curing clover makes
his statements valuable, aims always to
have the hay hot when it is drawn in.
He emphasizes the fact that when good
clover hay is desired the time to draw it
in is the hottest part of the day. He shuts
the barn doors as soon as his hay is in to
keep out cool night air In some years
there is more sap in clover than in others.
The less sap the less curing clover re-
quires. The drier the climate the less
curing. 1t requires moro experience and
Judgment to cure clover than 30 cure
timothy. The general rule for cutting
clover is to NOW just as most of theheads
are beginning to pass out of blossom. In
different localities, however, farmers
differ, some cutting their clover in full
bloom. Common red clover Iipens be
fore timothy; hence, when grown to-
gether one must try and strike an aver
age; it is better, however, to be little
early with the timothy than too late with
the clover.
Professor Roberts, of Ithaca, N. Y,
believes that hay should be cured as
much as possible in the bunch; hence he
considers it better economy for the aver
age farmer to buy hay caps than hay
tedders He names as the greatest i'm
provement in saving the hay crop
truck wagon with low broad wheels 80
inches in diameter and axles to ~
inches longer than those of the ordinary
wagon. He advises a fiat rigging made
of boards about II feet long and feet
wide. Such low, wide wheeled, long
axled truck saves much labor in getting
the hay on the wagon.
In some sections farmers are substi-
tuting alsike for red clover. The fibrous
roots of the alsike hold longer in the
soil, and when mixed with timothy it
blooms little later than the red clover
and consequently is in better season with
the timothy and remains as long in the
soil. Professor Cook, of the Michigan
Agricultural college, advocates mixing
alsike with red clover in the spring seed
ing, Hi9 argument is that it often
catches when the red fails; it is a honey
plant, and it is SO fertilized by tho bees
that it re-seeds the ground and becomes
a perennial, or, at least, lasts longer than
does the red clover.

RlPENlNe CHICKENS FOR MARKET.
The Age and Condition at which Fowls
Are Most Profitable.


Are Most Profitable.
Ripening young chickens for the mar
ket is an art. We say "rpening," be-
cause the word moro clearly defines our
meaning than any other
They should not be over fattened, nei-
ther should they he too lean. To feed a
chicken after it has attained certain
age and weight is waste of time and
food. 1t should be sold just in the nick
of time.
When the brood first comes from the
nest they should be placed in a coop
about five feet long and two or two and
a half wide. In the bottom of the coop
there should be dry dust or sand to the
depth of two or three inches. Care should
be taken not to get this dust wet. and it
should be removed at least once week
and fresh dirt put in its place,
The mother hen should be retained
with the chicks, of course, and for the
first eight or ten days the latter should
be fed principally upon hard boiled egg
and oat meal. When two weeks old
they will readily swallow wheat and
cracked corn, both of which is good for
them, especially the wheat. We have
found ii to be Il splendid food for little
chickens Meat. cooked and cut up fine.
they should have twice week, and
boiled vegetables too, potatoes, turnips,
etc.
Chickens cOoped up as described should
not be fed too much at a time, but should
be fed very often and in small quaint

will grow under such conditions. They
develop weight and feathers, too, as well
as size, and are very soon large enough
for the market. AT from five to seven
weeks old they are feathered, plump and
fat and ready for sale. 1t is then they
may be said to be ripe, and they should
be gathered without delay and disposed
of. In word, according to Tennessee
correspondent in Southern Cultivator,
the birds are then ready for broiling or
frying, according to the taste of the con-
Sumcr.

The codling moth is the orchards
worst insect enemy. This moth depos-
its its eggs in spring in the blossom end
Of the young apple as soon as it has
fairly formed. The egg produces a
worm that eats its way to the core, in.
creasing in sizeuntil about three fourths
OF an inch long. The most effectual
method against this insect is to spray
the trees with solution Of London pur-
pie or paris green soon after the fall of
the blossoms and before thenewly formed
apple has turned down on its stem.
When done at this time a portion of the
poison lodges in the depression of the
blossom end and causes the death Of the
insect. AS these substances are
both active poisons care is required in
handling them. but with ordinary eau.
ton no danger is to be feared. AS pre-
caution against poisoning bees in their
search for honey, the spraying should
not take place until the blossoms have
fallen.
One pound Of the poison TO 100 gallons
of water is about the right proportion
for the solution, which should be made
to fall on the young fruit from fine
spray nozzle. The necessary appliances
for thispurpose. that may be mounted on
wheels, can now be readily obtained
through dealers in agricultural imple-
ments. Commonly spraying for the cod
ling moth will be in time to also protect
the foliage from its enemies, SO that an
earlier spraying with kerosene emulsion
for that especial purpose may be dis
pensed with.

crops as follows;
Cold, wet and sunless weather.
Excess Of heterogeneous over readily
available mineral plant food.
Thin, or insuficiently established
cereal crops at the advent of forcing
weather.
Hence, rank manures may be expected
to aggrsvate the disease; as does long

Experiments with Manure.

Last season Investigations We're made

so great a loss, and that no appreciable
loss occurs when manure simply dries.
Professor Shelton from similar expert
ences at the Kansas experiment station
is quoted as saying that ''the moral
which such experiments emphasize is
that farmyard manures must be hauled

manure is sure to be great, the waste in
