by the time I got through with the mat
ter there would be some other way to
pay it. So we went to O'Shaugnessy's
store and he took the money with these
instructions. I said to Mr.. Swenson, in
case l should be away you know a man
needs money and I have not got any
money.
The Court: Where was this talk?
Mason: It was first talked at Mr..
Healy's Office, store office, before I went
down to MI. O'Shaugnessy's to pay the
money.
The Court: You and Mr.. Swenson
went together?
Mason: No sir: The second inter.
view, when he said he had the money, in
the evening, I let him out at the back
door of the office.
The Court: What office?
Mason: Healy's Office. Then I went
out to the store, and worked around a
few minutes, and went down ard met
Mr.. O'Shaugnessy and Mr.. Swenson.
The money was deposited. He says: ]
will have that ten dollars for you in hall
an hour; if I don't see you I will leave ii
at Nj. Healy's office. So 1 did a little
business for myself, and went back and
! rection.
The Court: What direction?
Mason: Mr.. Healy's store. And he
just paused and said, I left the money
for you at the store. So I went on tc
Mr. Healy's, and Mr.. Healy said, a gen
tleman left some money here for you. ]
don't know anything about it, what it is
for, or anything about it-only know he
put his hand in his pocket and took out
two five dollar bills and gave me. He
says, l suppose you know all about it

him a little and wal wanting to get SOM

The Court: On whom?
Mason: John Davidson, the agent
Of course I supposed he would send me-
up about that amount of groceries with
out obliging me to pay him any more
money just then, because I needed that
money if I went away. He was not sat
istied with that at all. He thought he
had carried me along, and said I was
owing him $15 and some cents, and
thought the matter over and concluded
would give him SIS, and I gave it to him
He said, I will send you up the groceries
I don't know what they amounted to; ht

have not seen Mr.. O'Shaughnessy since

About Hogs.

Good feeding does not consist In draw
ing a load of corn, dumping It into lot
and saying TO the pigs, now help your
selvesl Judicious, intelligent feeding
from birth to block is the only sure road
to success.
Much depends on tho right selection Of
sires. Buy sire calculated to supply
deficiencies existing in your dams; then
feed all, including the future progeny,
to still further development and improve
the type you selected:
Old corn fed to hogs should be soaked
and fed on floors, not in troughs. The
change from old corn to peas or sweet
corn should not be abrupt. Plenty of
good, clean water is prime essential to
healthy and thrifty pigs in hot weather;
not in the form OF swill. Swill should be
more of the nature Of grain ration and
less that Of a drink.
Shove the pigs toward matury by
every available means. The dragging
pig is not profitable one. Those who
planted a few acres of peas will be
able to see q new and rapid growth Of
flesh when the pigs are turned into
them.
The January, '01 prices OF hogs ranged
from SO. go to SO. 90 cwt; the July prices
ranged from S4.70 to IS. so. The July
range In 'S2 was from $500 10 5000; in
'ss, from 81. 20 TO So 60; In 'ss, from s.. 40
TO 1918. With these exceptions the
July range for 81 Is the highest since

level land it is better to raise the ground
in front of the tool house to the height
of the floor than to use an incline, as it
is easier to roll the stockin and out. An
excellent building erected for this pur-
pose saw in Worcester County, Mass.
1t is built like the drawing. The little
doors enter a shop eight feet wide across
one end. Rolling doors protect the re-
mainder of the front They are hung so
as to pass one another or the small doors
and the convenience is perfect. Wagons
or machines out of order may be taken
bodily into the shop where wrenches,
etc, quickly put them to rights wet days.
The shed is twenty feet wide and may be
made of any desired length. A rolling
platform Sxl2 feet covers an aperture
in the upper floor through which sleighs,
rakes and other light things are raised
by pulleys for storage. A piece OF
scantling fastened 10 the wall near the
floor will prevent mowers and wagons
from marring it with their hubs. Album
dance of light should be let in and the
fowls kept out the same as snow and
other destructive agencies.

The great violin. makers. says an ex-
change, all lived within the compass OF
hundred and fifty years. They chose
their wood from few great timbers
feiled In the South Tyrol. and foated
down In RATS, pine and maple, syca-
more. pear and ash. They examined
these TO find streaks and veins and
freckles, valuable specifically when
brought out by vanishing. They
learned to tell the density OF the pieces
OF wood by touching them; they weighed
them, they struck them, and listened to
Judge how fast, or how slow, or how
rosonantly they would vibrate In answer
to strings.
Some portions OF the wood must DO
porous and soft, some of close fiber.
Just the right beam was hard to find:
when IL was found, 1t can be traced all
through the viollns OF some great mas
ter, and after his death In those OF his
pupils.
The piece OF wood was taken home
and seasoned, dried In the hot Brescia
and Cremona sun. The house of Stradi
varlus. the great master Of all, is de-
scribed as having been as hot as an oven.
One was there soaked through and
through with sunshine. In this great
heat the oils thinned and simmered
slowly, and penetrated far into the wood,
until the varnishes became part Of the
wood itself.
The old violin-makers used to save
every bit of the wood when they had
found what they liked, to mend and
patch and inlay with II. So vibrant and
40 resonant is the wood OF good old vio-
Inns, that they murmur and echo and
sing in answer to any sound where a
number of them hang together on the
wall, as IL rehsarsing the old music that
once they knew,
1t was doubtless owing to this fact
that when the people could not account
for Paganini's wonderful playing, they
declared that he had a human soul i'm
prisoned In his violin; for his violin sang
, and whispered even when all the strings
| were off.
| There have been experiments made
with al sorts of woods by the various
makers. An Earl of Pembroke had one
made OF the wood OF the cedars OF
Lebanon, but the wood was so dense
that vibration was deadened and the
violin was poor one.

THE POULTRY-YARD.
Asserting tho Hens.

1t is one of the most important mat
tiers that hens be separated according to
the requirements, says Farm and Fire
side. If you have a flock of hens. and
some OF them are laying while others
are unproductive, separate the layers
from the others, or take out the extra
fat hen. This Us especially necessary on
those farms where the hens are confined
to limited area. Then laying hens and
the fattening hens do not require the
same food. For instance, a hen that is
intended for market may be allowed all
the grain she can consume, but the lay
ing hen will require a more heterogeneous
diet, such as meat, and IL they are to-
gether the laying hens may not receive
the food Intended for them. as the others
will also take portion. There is also a
difference I'm hens in another respect
age. The old hens will always domineer
over the younger. 1t Is best to have a
flock OF the same breed and age. The
layers should never be with the non
layers. Always observe the condition of
eachhen. II possible, and feed according to
circumstances, as there is no rule that
can be followed In feeding.

THE DAIRY.
B,tter Cream.

When the milk or cream are held too
long, although it may be in cold tenn
perature in which the ordinary acdity
may not be developed, bitter taste is
often developed which is impaired in
butter and destroys its value. 1t is the
opinion of our experts that this bitter
ness is another form of putrefactive fer
ment, which is peculiar to cold tenn
peratrre not active or marked as the
acidulous ferment but more insidous and
sure to manifest itself moro or less
rankly according to the conditions. The
remedy is never to hold the milk for the
cream to rise longer than twenty-four
hours. Under specially favorable con-
ditlons and surroundings the time may
possibly be extended. 1t is not, how
ever, a safe rule to insure sweet and good
butter, the earlier churning and skim
ming are recommended. III the condi-
tions for butter making will not admit
of these safe rules being applied, the con-
ditions should be made to conform to
them. n. Y. Dairy Commissioner.

Item Of worse than useless expense, he
will be surprised to see how much his
wasteiul methods are losing him. Now
that the harvest season is over, the val
liable machinery used in this work should
be cleaned up, oiled and put under good
shelter. And so of all other implements
when the season is over.
An old farmer who reformed on this
line several years ago, and kept account
of his implements, says his former waste
fulness and careless manner OF keeping
implements he found would cost him
more than all the taxes he had to pay an
nually. Now he carefully cleans and
oils his implements and stores Their. in
dry places, and whom the season comes
again uses first coal oil TO cut the hard
ened oil on the working parts, and he Is
ready with new light-rnnning machinery
to go into his fields. His own experience
has been to make his farm implements
last and do good work twice as many
years as formerly.
1t is these little wastes, which in them
selves seem trifling, but are many sided,
and become a great burden to those who
do not note and avoid them.

says:
1t Is not to be wondered at that manu-

would do vastly better to go in debt for
means with which to build tool and
machine house, than get trusted for new
implements with which to work his land
and then leave them to Natures mercies.
The indispensables in tool house are a
tight roof and dry floor. For the former
it is doubtful II anything is superior or
in the long run cheaper than shingles.

Poultry Notes.

In wet weather keep the fowls in out
OF the wet.
EXAMINE the chicks few days after
birth Tor lice.
THERE are sixty-eight standard breeds
OF chickens, ten of ducks, nine of turkeys,
and seven of geese.
WHERE tobacco leaves can be obtained
without much cost they should be used
around the poultry-houses and especially
in their rests, to keep off lice.
III the yards are low, so that water
stands in them after a rain, dig an open
ditch that will carry of the water. IL
you do not do this tho fowls will soon
make of the wet portion an unhealthy
slough.
Do NOT imagine that the fowls need
dainties to develop them. Good, healthy
food, fed regularly and in moderation,
will accomplish the work; and what can
not be accomplished In this way cannot
be accomplished at all.
