Profitable Selling.

ST. Louis Republic: Selling of the vari-
Gus products and stock 10 the best advan-
tage is OF as much Importance as growing
of them. Often the farmer who sells we'll
will be able to realize profit where an
other will not. With quite number OF
products the difference of afew cents per
pound will often determinesthe question of
profit or loss. OF course appearance and
quality are important items, and judgment
as to when it is best to sell must always be
used. One can keep posted as to the prob
able SUPP ly and demand by reading the
papers, and this will be great help in de-
terminiDg whether or not tits best TO sell and
when. In fact, an intelligent farmer cam
not afford to farm without a good news
prper, so that he may be kept posted, not
only as to methods of farming, but also as
to the condition ofthe markets for his vari
Gus products. The risk ofloss in selling is
too much for the average farmer to take, as
there remany buyers always ready TO take
advantage of sellers ignorance, and fai.-
ure to get all that product is worth i'll the
market is direct loss that should always
be avoided. With the majority of the
products, whether farm or stock, the time
TO sell is when the products are fully ready.
1t is only i'll exceptional cases that the av-
erage farmer can afford to run the risk of
loss by holding or storing for an advance in
price. Yet at the same time, every farmer
should be able to sell every product at the
best price obtainable.
Grow the best and then sell for the best
price is the way to get the worth from the
farm. Send the stuff to market in the form
that will command the best price. Take
every advantage to sell we'll.
II it is deemed best to store, arrange so
that there be as little waste as possible in
handling and in storing SO that the risk of
loss or DANA &c will be lessened as much as
possible. In storing as in selling, judg
ment must be exercised. No rules can be
laid down as to the best times or manner of
selling. There are so many conditions
that the owner must Il e his own judg ent,
and it is the exercise of this that determines
the ability to sell well.

A PLEASANT CUSTOM.
Where Young Men May Freely Stare
at Beauty.

Where Young Men May Freely Stare
at Beauty.
In compliance with an ancient Rus
sian custom, all the young men and
women of the mercantile class in st.
Petersburg assemble on Whit Mon
day, theformer to stare and thelatter
to be stared at. The young girls,
dressed as richly as their means viii
allow, are arranged in long rows by
the sides of the flower beds in the
summer garden, with their mammas
standing behind them. The ward
robss OF their mothers and grand
mothers are laid under contribution,
and everything bright and gaudy is
carefully brought forward to enrich
the drapery, the head-dress or the
girdle.
Some of the young ladies are so
covered with gold and jewelry onthese
occasions that their natural charms
are altogether concealed; indeed, the
ludicrous excess to which this sort of
decoration is sometimes carried goes
beyond what has ever been attempted
elsewhere. Thus bedizened, the blush
ing damseis are drawn up in mute
rows, while the papas, in flowing CAT
tans and curling boards, parade their
sons up and down. Here and there
the papas and mammas try to lead
the Voungfolks into conversation with
one another, in the course OF which
certain little looks and emotions may
arise, pregnant with future circum-
stances. Eight days or so after this
bridal exhibition private family meet
ings take place, at which those whose
hearts are captivated at the grand
show are more formally affanced to
one another by their parents and rel
atives.

PLEASED WIFE rHe oulLLoTlng.


Tonquinese Regard the French Ma
chine as a Means to an Easy
Death.
The guillotine has recently been in
PRODUCED by the French into their
colony OF ronquin, says the London
Globe. Our neighbors, as all the
world is aware, have had, and still
have, plenty OF work to do in the way
OF DISCRIMINATING piracy in that vast
and as yet unremunerative possession.
And the method by which they en-
detvor to exterminate the pirate
when they catch him, which, as a
rule, they do not-is that OF decapita-
ton. That ceremony has, hitherto,
been performed in the primitive and
rather barbarous native way.
The culprit, being placed in con-
venitnt position, used to light a
cigarette and wait for the executloner
to take shot at his neck with big
sword. Sometimes the headsman
aimed straight and sometimes he did
not, and feeling has long existed
among gentlemen of the pratt
cal profession that an execution
thus executed was distinctly an
unpleasant process for the patient.
Consequently the introduction OF the
"wood of Justice" has by no means
produced The effect which the French
authorities desired and expected. In
stead of being impressed with the
horror of this mode of execu lion, the
natives of Tonquin are said to be
highly delighted with it. In fact, they
regard the guillotine as most in
genious article de Paris, and they
have already witnessed one execution
with every demonstration of enthu-
siasm.
Dying, they say, is made so delight
fully, easy by this admirable inven-
tion of the superior European intelli-
gence. The result is that consider
able satisfaction is expressed in pira-
teal circles, and it is confidently an,
ticipated that piracy will shortly in
crease very considerably, as nobody
in Tonquin would mind getting alb
breviated instantaneously by the
guillotine. Death, in short, has lost
most of its terror, because the pro-
cess OF dying has been rendered SO
simple.

ARID REGIONS OF THE IVES T.
Much Money varnly Spent in Look


Much Money ValnIy Spent in Look
ing for Water--Some Erroneous
Beliefs.
Underground water is too abundant
in theeast to attract muehattention,
but in the arid regions of the western
states and Mexico it becomes mat
ter of the utmost Importance. Areas
exist there as large as New England
for example, the Llano Estacado-
without a stream or permanent pond
upon their surface, while other areas,
aggregating one tenth of this whole
country, have not o stream with the
volume of the Connecticut and are
entirely lacking in laterals and springs.
Great railway lines, including the
Southern Pacific, haul water hundreds
Of miles for their engines and have
spent millions in the search for under
ground water, and the government
has spent large sums in similar ex-
periments. Most of these efforts have
been the result of exaggerated expec=
tations whose nonfultilment have re-
suited in the apathy of the people. 1t
was soon learned, according to the
Engineering Magazine, that the great
est possible use of surface water, aid
ed by the best systems of storage,
could not water a hundreth part of
the western area. and popular atten-
ton turned to the underground sup
ply. Investigationnext showed that
artesian foods could not be obtained
everywhere.
The laws of distribution and utiIi-
cation of underground waters are as
simple as those controlling surface
distribution, but the popular fallacies
concerning them are appalling-for
instance, the erroneous idea that all
underground waters flow in streams
'like the circulatory system of the
human body" supplying every we'll
and spring. 1t isacurious thing to see
the "waterwitch" plod over a farm
with his forked stick trying to locate
"the current" In the vast area be-
tween the Rocky mountains and the
Mississippi the belief prevails that all
the wells are supplied by the water
precipitated upon the mountains
which disappears beneath the surface
to rise again q thousand miles away
along the coastal plain, while beneath
the vast intervening region is an mex
haustible store Of water waiting for
mans invention to bring it to the
surface.

Good Points of Corn Fodder.

There are many good things about corn
fodder that are not always estimated at
their true value. One is that it is crop
that is soon grown and is quickly avaIla-
BILE, and if at all properly cul ivated rarely
fails of at least moerately good yield.
Anoth good thing about it is that when
corn is planted for grain, as it usually is,
the fodder may be said to be chiefly gain.
1t is quickly harvested and easily cured
when shocked up in the field where one
can leave it and take his time for husking
it, with but little loss to the grain or
the fodder. Corn when raised for both
grain and fodder should be cut as soon
as the cas- are mature enough to keep
we'll if the fodder is to be in the best
condition. Objection is sometimes raised
against corn fodder on account of its bulk
compared with the portion actually con-
sumed by tie animals. When it is tied in
bundles as soon as it is husked l do not
consider it at all difficult or expensive to
handle. The best of it is that when it is
bright and sweet all kinds of stock like it
so we'll that very little will be lett of it ex-
cept the large butts. These should be raked
up in the spring after they have been tram
pied by the stock all winter, and be thrown
into piles where they will soonrot and be-
come manure. For cows giving milk corn
fodder, ii we'll cured, is at least as good as
timothy hay and, while it cannot be COM
pactly stored away as hay, it can be pre-
served out Of doors in an upright position
with but little loss until it is wanted for

The Wise TonsorlaI Artist Talks
but Never Argues.
Customers who show by their man
ner that they prefer to be alone with
their thoughts while under the razor
are never annoyed.
A great deal has been said about
the talkativeness of BARRIERS, but il
those who tried to be funny on that
subject were better posted they would
find reason. for it other than the
mere loquacity of the barber.
1t is infinitely easier to handle a
customer who is interested in con-
versation. Thisis particularly true of
nervous or fidgety man, who, if the
operation goes on in silence, becomes
restless and growls at the razor, or OBJ
lects to the way in which he is being
shaved. The talk takes his mind
away from his face, so that he is often
surprised to find the work finished
when he thought it had scarcely be-
gun.
A barber never gets into an argu-
ment with his customer. His opinions
veer around like weather vane to
suit the particular man upon whom
he may be operating at the time. The
conversation dodge is merely one of
the tricks of the trade. Of course,

judgment in talking to customers,
