TOO MUCH FOR HIS TEETH.

He Should OF Known Better: but
Her Smile Was too Much for
Him.
A very good looking drummer he
was, and he had succeeded in making
great impression upon the table-girl
at g. Maine hotel. He paid strict at
tention to the girl and to his dinner
and his performance was creditable
and thorough IN both directions. But
he did not eat his sweet corn. Finally
the girl said in her sweetest tone:
"You must have another ear of corn.
That is cold and not filled out"
sob, no" but she was gone.
She returned with a steaming ear of
corn and then waited expectantly to
see him bury in the succulent vegetable
his pretty teeth, that he showed
with such charming grace in his smile.
He ought to have known better,
but in a spirit of bravado he
responded to the mute appeal in that
Walter-girl's eyes and, set his teeth in
to the corn. The first mouthful went
all right, the second was a great sue
cess, but the third--we would that
our tale could end here, but it can not.
At the third mouthful, as he darted
a gleam Of fond admiration at the
girl, his teeth Loyalty stayed by the
mangled ear of corn for an instant,
then dropped to the floor with a rat
tie that sounded to his ears like a dis
charge OF heavy artillery. Worst of
all, as he madly scratched for them he
couldn't find his treasure. Finally the
girl recovered them from a neighbor-
ing table, after alady kindly moved her
skirts aside and revealed the truant
teeth. The look that passed between
that girl and the drummer as she
handed him his teeth had something
IN it that wilted the bouquet over
which it passed. [Lewistown Jour

Some Good Hints.

1t seed is saved, store in a dark, cool
place, where they will keep dry and
will not be damaged by vermin. ~ o..
Arrange SO that the change from
green to dry feed can be made gradu-
ally rather than at once.
Whitewash in the stable makes
things look better and tends to clean
lmess and good health.
A light feeding Of bran and oil meal
will aid materially in keeping up the
milk supply at this season.
Generally by this time it will be
found good economy to shelter the
young growing stock at night.
Sweet potatoes and tomatoes are
easily injured by FROST, and are never
safe after this time.
Get the corn cribbed early; every
day that it is left out after it is thor
ouglly matured, increases the per
cent. of waste loss.
1t is an important item with all land
plowed in the fall to provide good
drainage if the best results are secur-
ed.S}5s
The most economical plan OF man
aging the manure is to arrange to haul
direct to the field and scatter out as
fast as made.
So long as the condition of the
weather will admit feed the hay and
straw in Il the stables or sheds and
the corn fodder in the feed lots.
Many good farmers claim that grass
will catch and hold better on Ian d
plowed in the fall than on that plow-
ed in the spring.
So far as is possible have everything
i readiness for cold storm Better
be q little ahead than to have the
stock or crops exposed needlessly.

Rich Food Makes Rich Milk.

3. . . I Z +
|, Some very careful experiments have
been mad e at the Iowa Agricultural
Experiment Station, with the object
of ascertaining whether food rich in
fats does not increase the quantity of
butter in milk. It has been denied
that this was the case; but, as might
reasonably have been expected, the
Iowa experiments fully corroborate
the view that the affirmative side of
the question is the correct one. The
bulletin ofthe station, No. IA, explicitly
states that the quality of milk, so far
ns measured by the percentage of fat,
was changed by food to a much great
or degree than was the quantity. Two
thirds Of the increase in average gross
yield of butter, 1t is added, was due to
improved quality of the milk, and
only one-third to increased milk flow.
The experiments on which this con-
clusion is based were conducted with
corn and cob, meal and sugar meal,
the latter of which contains sixteen
times as much as the other, and hence
afforded an ample basis for compari-
son. rs. as B
It was found first, that the sugar
meal produced SO Of pound more

Winter Protection,

Gardeners and fruit growers OF halfa
century ago showed much less intelli-
gent attention to the question of winter
protection than they do to-day Half
hardy shrubs and trees were tied up
with straw and made to appear tidy,
without consulting the question of the
smoldering effects of this treatment.
This applies not only to fruits, but to
shrubs and flowers. We understand
now that the plants and vines and
bushes are injured as much from too
much protection as they are from too
little. A few bows of spruce or other
conifers loosely tied around the shrubs
that are half tender will do more
good than the smolthering bands of
straw. -#
Beds OF perpetual plants often need
coverings to keep the frost from
throwing them out by the alternate
freezing and thawing of the ground.
Leaves are the best coverings for such
a bed, and they may be kept down by
sprlnkling little loose dirt or sand
over them. Sometimes the very ten
der plants will suffer from this weight,
and light sticks will be all that is nee
essary to keep the leaves in place.
Protection in winter is often needed
to keep off the sun than to keep the
cold out, for the most injurious thing
to plants is the lowering and raising
of the temperature. Often tree,
fence, or any similar thing placed so
as to shadow the plants in the winter
time will be the best protection they
can have. Ii anything is tied around
them see that it is loose and free so
that the air can circulate freely
through the plants.

her eyes fixed on the distant horizon.
Miss Maria was sleeping peacefully,
with her head thrown back, in an

brought from home. Her whole
attitude expressed intense, dreamless

OF her lover did not wake her, nor the
conversation that followed. Cecil
pleaded his cause nobly. At last,
when an hour had passed, he said to
Aurore: #
II shall wake up your stepmother

When Miss Maria regained con

1 Delay in Setting MIX,

4 The New York Experiment Station
has been making q series of expert
ments to determine the effect Of set
ting milk at once as compared with
delayed setting. The first trials were
tried with the mixed milk OF the uni
versity herd. The milk. was divided
into three portions; one was set at
once, one was delayed for an hour,
but was kept up too temperature OF
~ degrees in a water bath, and the
third was allowed to cool an hour be-
fore set. In the cases Of delay in this
trial and all the succeeding ones the
milk was stirred up just before it was
placed in the creamer, and all the set
tlngs were made in Cooley cans in ice
water. In thesetrials there was an aver
age OF rs per cent more fat in the skim
milk from the delayed settings that
were allowed to cool, and 10 per cent
more fat in the skim milk from the de-
layed settings that were kept warm
than in the settings from the milk di-
rect from the COW. Another and
more extended trial was made some
what later under the same conditions,
resulting in the following averages:
From that set at once SO per cent OF
fatwas found in the skim milk:i in that
delayed and kept warm SIS per cent
was found; and in that allowed to
stand an average of al minutes SO
per cent was found. The report says:
"It would seem that the conclusion
from all these experiments must be
that there is very slight danger of loss
OF fat in delaying the setting of milk
for considerable length OF time after
it is drawn, particularly if the temper
allure Of the milk does not fall much
below 80 degrees. - ID

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-There is a
rumor to The effect that the president in
clines to the belief that Secretary Of
State Blaine will not return to Wash
ington to resume his official duties, and
if he does not Mr.. Harrison has selected
man to take the vacant shoes. Gen.
eral John w. Foster, according to the
rumor, is next for promotion to the state
department. There is good reason given
for this action. Mr. Miller, it now seems
certain, will go out of the cabinet and
take judgeship when the new appoint
ments are made. Then Indiana will be
without a cabinet officer. The reasons
which indicate Mr., Fosters appoint
ment are equally cogent. If new man
went into the state department it would
take him six months to "get the run" of
things, whereas Mr.. Foster having really
done about all that has been accom-
plished since Mr.. Blaine left, could take
up the work where it is now and carry
1t to speedy and successful conclusion.

Uncle Sam to Make 1t For Himself
General FlRGler's Laboratory.
New YORK, Oct. ia Washington
dispatch says that the establishment Of
laboratory for conducting experiments
with smokeless powder and high ex-
plosives is project General Flagler has
had in view since he became chief of
ordnance. Lack Of funds has been tho
chief obstacle in the way of carrying it
out. 1t has been finally arranged, how
ever, to start in small way and it will
probably not be long before the army
ordnance bureau will be quite as well
equipped in this direction as the navy
and some Of the foreign services.
The army laboratory is to be estab-
lished at the Frankford Pa) arsenal.
General Flagler made visit last week
and perfected the necessary arrange
ments. He is now looking around for
suitable officer to be placed in charge.
The work of the new laboratory will not
be confined only to the development of
governmental ideas, but experiments
will be made with samples Of powder
and explosives submitted by private in
ventors, the sole object being to get the
articles which native talent can pro-
duce.
Up to this time the army has been
compelled to depend on foreign invent
ors for all the smokeless powder used.
Numerous experiments have been made
with samples submitted by Americans,
but with the exception of the brand
submitted by Mr.. Houghton, OF Massa-
chusetts, none have been satisfactory.
This exception, however, was n notable
one, the results SURPRISING the best for
eign inventions.
The bureau hopes to obtain an Amer
ican powder equal to the best made
abroad. Three or four large powder
firms have expressed their intention of
providing the necessary plant just as
soon as the government has discovered
what it wants. The Duponts of Will
mington, are already engaged on plant
for the manufacture of powders under
foreign patents, and have made a small
quantity from the formula submitted by
the naval authorities. The California
powder works at San Francisco, have
also notified the ordnance authorities
that they are preparing special plant

NEGOTIATIONS
For Reciprocity Between Ger
many and the United States.
The First Reports Somewhat
Exaggerated.

Germany Has Not offered to and Cannot
Admit All Our Cereals Free in Consid-
Grafton of Our Admission of German
Beet Sugar Free--Would Endanger Her
Relations with other Nations.
NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-.The Sun Mon
day morning said:
The following dispatch was received
from Washington last night at too late
an hour to permit the making of the
necessary inquiries to obtain an official
confirmation of it:
The government of the United States
has just concluded q convention with
Germany, through the German minister
here, by which all our cereal crops will
be admitted into the German empire
free of duty in consideration of free ad-
mission into the United States of Ger
man beet sugar after Jan. l, which, un-
der recent law, the president could then
stop. This year the wheat crop of all
the German states, except Prussia, i5
very poor, and the rye crop is failure
throughout Germany. The present rate
on wheat imported into Germany is
thirty three and one,half cents per
bushel of sixty-eight pounds.
This is duty of about one-third the
present price for wheat in the Uni ed
States. and it is believed that in view of
the failure of the wheat crop in Ger
many and the necessity for large ex-
ports from this to that country, wheat
will take another jump upwards.

NOT YET COMPLETED.
The Reciprocity Negotiations Between
Germany and the United States.

The Reciprocity Negotiations Between
Germany and the United States.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-Germany has
entered into negotiations for reciprocity
with the United States. but the conces.
sions to be made are not nearly so com
prehensive as a published report has
made them out to be.
A United Press representative learned
Monday from an authority whose thor
ough knowledge of the negotiations
cannot be questioned, that Germany has
not offered to admit all American
cereals free in consideration of the ad-
mission Of German beet sugar into the
United States without payment of duty.
This concession, it was stated would
cause Germany serious trouble with
other European countries and it was too
broad O concession to be offered or
asked.
Under the Mckinley tariff law the ad-
mission free of duty to this country of
beet sugar manufactured by foreign
countries was authorized, but proviso
gave the president authority to suspend
after Jan. /, 1892, the operations of the
law with respect to countries that did
not grant the United States some con-
cession in return for allowing their beet
sugar to free entry.
Germany sends more beet sugar to the
United States than any other country
does, and the removal of the duty on
that article has proved large item in
German trade. No effort was made by
Germany, however, to remain within
the concession granted by this country
until the negotiations resulting in the
removal of the restrictions on the ad-
mission of American pork into Germany
had been concluded.
These negotiations opened the way
for treating on the beet sugar question,
and matters have assumed a position
where the admission into Germany
free of duty of some one cereal, wheat
in all probability, or of more than one
cereal at very low rate of duty, will
probably be negotiated.
This government will not endeavor to
secure from the German government
concessions of so broad character that
Germany's relations with other nations
will be endangered.
