rs for his own accommodation, the

to give in brief but clear way the

of the popular magazines wanted the

Several periodicals were bidding for it.
but finally it was secured by my editorial
friend for $40, 000-this sum PURCHASING
only the serial rights. From the authors
home we went to the studio of au artist
who was to illustrate the story. 1t was
finally agreed that he would make fifteen
illustrations for the story at 500 each.
Further than this / did not go into the
transaction except that the publisher of
the magazine told me yesterday that he
would spend at least SIS. 900 in adver-
Using the story, ''for," he said, "you
know, its no use having such thing un-
less you tell the public of it." 1t will
cost at least $3.50 for engraving each of
the fifteen illustrations to the story.
Thus, the total cost to this story to the
magazine is not less than 1913, ESQ.

The Pretty "Ponnyweiyhtcr.

Perhaps the clcvercst of all shoplifters'
tricks is the "pennywcighter" game. 1t

still smaller number, for it is a difficult
one. 1t has been most successfully
worked by pretty little blonde with o
baby face, blue eyes, curly hair and the
general appearance of bewitching SOU
brette. Her professional name is "Lit-
tie Scotty." She came to grief in Bos-
ton and was given three years. Her
mode of working is to go to iewelry
store and ask to be shown loose diamonds
on tray. She pretends to be very
shortsighted, and bends over and very
close to the tray, examining the dia-
monds through an eye glass. She ex-
poses her left hand so as not to be sus-
pccted, and u. a propitious moment drops
one-carat diamond into the tray, and
with her tongue, on the point of which
she has pulverized alum, she ticks I'm a.
two-carat diamond. She cannot find
the exact counterpart of the one she
wants to match (Which she has not with
herr, and goes into another store, where
she exchanges her two carat diamond in
similar manner for three carat, and
so on nd innitum. When she was
caught she had started with one-carat
diamond and had reached six and half
carats, making three or four hundred
dollars in n few hours. Yor5s

pEkIN DUCKS,

Pelfin ducks are probably tho most
valuable breed of ducks known to-day.
They are very large, mature early, aud
have snowwhitc plumagc. Their eggs
hatch two or three days sooner than anv
other variety. The duckllngs hatch out
stronger and seem to grow faster than
the young of any other breed, and thew
can be raised anywhere that you can raise
chickens.
The young ducklings feather up rap.
idly and grow to good size in from six to
eight weeks. This makes them well
adapted to raising for the carly markets.
They are excellent foragcrs and excel
lent layers. With good range they re-
quirc but little feed, and the young are
not subject to roup, cholera, gaps, and
the like us arc young turkeys and chick
ems.
They command good prices in the
markets, and will weigh from frourteen
to eighteen pounds per pair the first year
without much fattening.
AS egg producera their record is re-
markhble, and they come rs near being
perpetual layers rs any of tho breeds of
fowls.-Farm, Field and Stockn,an.

It is the belief of the New York

1t is the belief of the New York hide
pendent that farmers should give more
attention to the raising of draft and car
rage horses. Thousands of dollars are
sent out of every county every year for
horses for various purposes. Colonel
Curtis says that New York State expends
on an average from $25, 900 to 500, 600
per county for horses, and this does not
include counties in which there are large
cities. Draft horses weighing from 400
to 100 pounds are in great demand,
aud the demand for carriage and coach
horses cannot be met. Farmers sell their
farm products at an average price OF
about one cent per pound, and buy horses
at from ten to twenty cents per pound,
which is not very profitable business.

PROPER RULE IN FEEDING.

A large part of the money made in
feeding animals for the butcher is made
before they get very fat. Lean animals
with proper care and feeding may be
made to take on flesh rapidly and there
is often good deal of profit in the pro-
cess. But when a flcshy condition is
reached all the extra fat secured is OBJ
tanned at disadvantage, rs the cost per
pound of the grain is greatly increased.
Then, too, there is constant risk of dis
ease or accident when animals are kept
in an excessively fat condition. 1t is
much safer, and in most cases is a.good
deal more profitable, to sell the stock rs
soon rs it is ready for the butcher. The
exception to this rule is found when the
supply is short and prices have strong
upward tendency. But even then the re-
suits of holding for higher prices are of
ten disappointing. --Ameriean Dairy

RAISING DRooM-coRY.

Broom-corn is not an especially diff :
cult crop to raise, requiring as it does
much the same kind of soil and culture
as Indian corn. 1t is rather more sus
ceptible to frost and succeeds best on
rich bottom lands. 1t may be drilled or
planted in hills much the same distance
apart as corn, with ten or more seeds to
the hill, to be afterwards thinned out by
leaving from four to six of the most
thrifty plants in each. The ground
should be put into fine, friable condi-
ton by narrowing it thoroughly before
planting, and should be kept entirely
clear of weeds afterwards. The plants,
when young, are very delicate and their
early culture will be much more difficult
on naturally weedy ground. When
nearly ready to harvest, looping or
bending down the top part of the stalks
is practised in some localities. Tablinp
consists in bending the stalks of two
rows towards each other, at about three
feet from the ground, thus forming n
support on which the brush can be laid
temporarily as it is cut off. Another

The craze lit is nothing else, saws the

There is no doubt that for the present
