A PRETTY SCHEME

1t has leaked out In Memphis that
the purpose of the Populites Is to de-
feat both Cleveland and Harrison,
not by the election Of Weaver, but
by forcing upon the Republicans the
alternative of election OF either Sena-

to defeat.

was Paul's conservation to God.

In an old tower in Nuremburg there
is room set apart especially for the
preservation Of the curious instruments
of torture used during the uncertain
period historically referred to as the
Middle Ages. In that room you can
see thumbscrews Of the most approved
pattern closely arranged along shelves
filed with "liar helmets" and 'bridles'
for gossiping women. One horrid relic
called the "spile wheel" is heavy
cylinder. on one side of which stand out
two or more score of sharp iron spikes.
In days of old, when an offender had
been sentenced to undergo a trolling
he was stripped naked and firmly bound
on plank, face down. In this position
the "spike wheel" was slowly dragged
up and down his back, the number OF
times depending upon the gravity of the
crime and the wording of the sentence.
In several instances the poor victims
were prodded SO full of holes that they
died before they could be removed from
the plank. When death was intended
the number of "rolls" was not speci
fed, but double length spikes, heatef
red hot, wero put in the surface of tn,
cylinder. This mode of carrying GU
capital punishment was hardly as expc
ditious as tho guillotine, but it wa
equally as certain.-St. Louis Republic

A Dog worth Having.

A women living in q fat on Gates
avenue near Stuyvesant is the owner Of
q dog that is worth having. It 10 a
mongrel cur as devoid Of pedigree as a
paving stone Is of hair. Exactly how
she came in possession of the dog she
cannot say. He happened around one
day in forlorn and hungry condition,
and being fond of animals she took pity
on him, fed him and at once the dog
located on the premises. He Is good
deal in appearance like Smiley's frog,
that Is to say, there are no points about
this dog to indicate that he is better than
any other dog. But, as the sequel will
show, he proved to be an animal Of sin
gular judgment and good sense. The
other day while roaming in the vicinity
he found o five dollar bill. Now by
what process of reasoning or by previous
observation that dog had learned TINT
money had q value or that five dollar
bills were worth having, is impossible
to say.
The fact remains, however, that this
intelligent mongrel dog took the bill in
his mouth and, in spite of the efforts OF
number of. street boys who saw the
performance and tried to get the money
away from him, scooted with it to the
Gates avenue fat and deposited 1t safely
at the feet of his mistress with wag OF
his tail, as if to say, You see, I'm able
to pay for my board" The woman
would not part with that dog now for q
good many five dollar bills. This singu-
lar story Of an animals sagacity may
look doubtful, but it is absolutely true.

There Is principle in seed saving that
applies TO potatoes as well as to other
plants. This principle is selection, and
selection means choice in all that relates
to a crop, no matter what it may be. 1t
is essential in its relation to earliness
quality and productiveness. In few
years distinct type will be secured that
for long time will remain constant,
even when grown under other condi-
tions. The proper time to commence
this important work Is not in the early
spring, but before the crop is dug, says
The American Agriculturist, which
gives the following advice: ut is the
best way to go over the field, select the
hills with the most vigorous vines, espe-
cially those that are growing singly, the
shorter and more stocky the better. Dig
these before the main crop is disturbed,
and save such only as produce the most
potatoes to a plant, and such as are the
most uniform in size and shape, not
those that yield the largest tubers, but
those that give the greatest number OF
good, salable potatoes and the least
: small or poor ones. Vitality is an essen
tial element In all plants, as upon it de.
ponds productiveness. When a hill is
opened, if there is single potato that is
J not perfect, discard the whole Each
tuber should be carefully examined as
/ to form, color and shape, and what is
more important still, see that it has a
clear, thick skin"

CAckles,

The poultry products of tho United
States had a farm value of at least $780,
100000 last year, and no less than 49,
100000 dozen eggs were imported at "a
first cost of fifteen cents per dozen, or
nearly $4,000, 600, while the average an
nual value of such importations during
the past four years has been $2,216, 326.
The Farm Journal says: "For choice
table poultry, especially capons, we
would advise crossing Langshan females
with La Fleche male. SrGh poultry
would sell equal to Ward McAllister's
famous mutton"
1t is reported that three factories in
the United States devoted to making
albumen paper for photographers con.
sumo upward of 10000 eggs annually.
The Poultry World advises: "Give soft
feed IN the morning and tho whole grain
at night, except little wheat or cracked
corn placed in the scratching place to
give them exercise during the day."
Sour milk will bring better returns in
eggs than in any other way.
In buying birds or eggs go to some re.
liable breeder who has his reputation at
stake.

Professor Massey sees possible bo-
nanza for the southern farmer in grow.
ing second crop potatoes, and among
other demands for them he mentions the
northern market for old potatoes in the
spring, as they would be unsprouted and
superior to green new ones. There
might be q greater demand for them for
seed, as truck farmers find them earlier
than northern seed. Louisville mer-
chants now furnish some Ohio garden
ers with second crop seed, and while il
is less productive than home grown
stock, the high prices of the first ten
days of the new potato season makes i,
a paying business to use the southern
seed, according to correspondent Of
The Rural New Yorker, who writes fur
ther as follows: .
This seed now costs too much. 1t ii
brought north in small lots, and every
middleman adds very substantially to
the charges. II southern growers would
ship their product north in CARROTS, just
as we ship ours to the southern markets
in the fall and winter, the price and
convenience Of getting the seeds would
induce northern truck farmers to give
them wide trial. A leading trucl
farmer in our market orders them di
rectly from the south every spring, pay
ing round price, but he prefers to dc
this rather than plant home seed AND
get later crop. 1t pays us in southern
Ohio to go north for seeds for the mair
crop of potatoes, as they are more vigor
GUS growers, and to the south for seed,
for early crops, but half the profits from
this exchange are reaped by railway
companies. They should have all the,
earn. but when they take all the traffic
will bear it prevents such an exchange
of products between the farmers of this
broad country as would be advantageous
