mamma used to say that some of the
best houses in Blocker and Bond streets
were shut To them. But they got to
know the Manhattans, though for some
reason the Amsterdams didn't respond.
They were on good terms with the
Poughkeepsies, though the Schenecta-

Too bad that she should have died in

and they never led her into any quick

Alonzo is like both parents. He hasn't

death should have killed him, as they

person too high-bred for anything so
sensational as dying OF grief. And yet
he went within two years of poor Ty-
billa, leaving both children to the guar

ciety expected that Alonzo Van Alstyne,
their maternal uncle, would be intrust-

COLUMBUS AND vEsPucius.

How the New Country Came to BE Mana
cd In Honor OF the Latter.
Columbus was comparatively unknown
during his lifetime except in Genoa and
Spain, as also somewhat in Portugal,
for the reason, mainly, that he wrote
but little except letters to his sover-
eigns, and that little was not published
until long afterwards. Americas Ves-
pucius, on the other hand, kept an
elaborate journal of his voyages, and
wrote concise, readable account OF
them after his return. The account
found its way into print, and gave his
name TO the new continent, while the
commanders of the ships in which he
sailed, and n score of other navigators
who sailed the western seas from 1495
TO 1504-men of action, who did much
but wrote little-were forgotten almost
as soon as they were dead. Columbus

that the islands they had discovered

She limps a little or the joints of her

called carriage. When she sits down she
slumps. Her muscles, except those
that have been trained to their daily
tasks, have neither force nor direct
mess. TO the eye she has lost the
gracious presence that is q woman's
ibirthright, and become a machine ad-
dapted to the performance OF certain
sort OF work. She may have within

poses him to the irritating attacks OF

his temper in the least.
AWriter for Farm, Stock and Home
suggests from his own experience q
simple plan which allows the bull the
benefit of the open air and a little
tramping about without the risk or
discomfort OF the methods referred to
above. He suspends ropefrom high
up on the west side of.the barn, and
attaches his lead chain to this rope,
This is done in the morning, and when,
the sun gets around in the afternoon
he IS put into the stable.
But after all there is no reason why
his bovine lordship should be suffered
to live in idleness when other animals
have to earn their living. 1t would
take good deal of the uginess out OF
his temper to hitch him to q cart to
haul manure to field, or hay and
grain to the barn. The exercise OBJ
tanned in this way would increase his
bodily vigor while subduing his saw
agery, and such service would lessen the
cost OF his maintenance.

To Pull Fence Posts.

In getting ready for winter quarters
many fences will be removed. In this
work much hard labor in taking up
the old posts may be saved if the
following plan is used says the Farm,
Field and Stockman: Have a piece OF
plank, very nearly as long as the post
above ground, or any stick that will
not sink into the ground; cut a notch
in one end, fasten end of chain on post
half way to the ground, the other end
to whiff1e trees; place plank as in cut,
not too far from the post, pass the
chain over the end Of the plank. then
60 ahead with the team, let the chain
slip down on the post and then 90
ahead again.

Curing On.ons--Short
Pointers,
A Profitable Experiment..

Last year after harvest, [ went
about the neighborhood looking for
manure piles which were not wanted
or appreciated by those who owned
them. Ifound three old chip piles
or places which had been used for
keeping the wood, at each of which
got more then ten loads OF we'll rot
ted compost or as good fertil-
izer as any one could want. I paid
each owner a dollar for the lot, al
though am sure I could have got
either for hauling them away. The
owner seemed to think it good rid
dance to get clear Of the trash. Be-
sides these, I bought several loads
OF manure from barn yards
OF men who had only small lots
but kept one or two cows and horses.
This manure cost me but little cash,
yet paid every cent the owners ask
ed me and they were pleased with the
sale. [ hauled all these fertilizers
at a time when there was but little
else to do and while hauling it broke
two young horses to work we'll. In
this [ was killing two birds with one
stone and either bird was worth quite
as much as the s'stone" cost. The
actual outlay was but a few dollars.
The labor cost nothing, perhaps less
than nothing, for if I had not been
busy at this I might have been
tempted to loaf at the
corner grocery, and spend some OF
my hard earned cash. The result,
says writer in National Stockman,
is a wenty-tive-acre OF wheat
averaging twenty-eight bushels
per acre. This same field un.
der just as good cultivation never
made more than fifteen bushels per
acre. The grass crop is fifty per cent
better than I ever saw it and the
season has not been the best for the
first crop either. A neighbor who
sowed grass on his wheat in an adjoin-
ing field which was naturally as good
as mine but not MANFRED was almost
a total failure. I expect to reap an
annual benefit during the next 10
years for what I did last season. I
have already my money back more
than n hundred fold. I shall keep
this thing up as long as l can find
fertilizers within reach OF my teams
or pocketbook. 1t has paid me better
than anything have tried for years
for the amount OF expense and trouble
involved.

1t is advisable to sharpen all the

! A Word for the Bull,

~. .
There is no more treacherous
animal in the world than n bull. How
ever peaceoble inclined he may seem
to be, it is never safe to trust his good
intentions, for he is apt to Ibreak out
in the most unexpected manner. Even
a hornless bull has been known to
knock down and trample' his unsua-
pecting owner. The only safe way is
to make it impossible for him to at
tack any one. For this reason he
should never he set at large in an
open field. But q bull needs fresh air
and exercise. Keeping him shut up
in q stall all the time renders him
more savage az he grows older; and
