SAME OLD STORY.
A Ruiler Farmer Played Cards
for $4,000 Once Too Often.

About two weeks ago a business
like man called on Farmer Nicholas
Mangel, living six miles south of
Butler, and talked of land invest
ments and departed leaving pleas
ant impression with Mangel. He
returned one day last week, and
played cards with Mapgel who won
$4,000. Mangel came to Butler and
drew $4,000 from the bank, then
joined his friend, who was to pro
duce like amount. Mangel's
money was deposited in a tin box,
which was placed in buggy, and
the twain started back to Mangel's
house to finish the game of cards.
Along the road they met a man
anxious to catch a train at that
place. The box supposed to con
tain the money was given to Mangel
who went home, while his friend
obligingly drove the strange man
to the train. Mangel opened the
box and found a board wrapped in
paper.

Drawings for the new court
house will be presented to the coun-
ty commissioners by several archi-
tects, this Friday. 1t is more than
likely that one of the number will
be accepted and that the contract
for the erection of the building will
be awarded as soon as properly
advertised. In our judgment the
material used in the construction
of the building will he of stone and
of brick. The first story of stone
and the remainder of brick. This
will be some odd, but architects say
it will present very satisfactory ap-
pearance. We can positively say
to our readers that the building
will not be "Cheap John" con
struction. Neither will it be an eX-
travagant affair. We favor the
total cost of the building at twenty
five thousand dollars. This figure
with a stone quarry within two
miles distance ought to erect first
class building. These are oul
sentiments of the matter and as one
Of the commissioners shall advocate
the same at our next meeting. We
find that in public office you can
not please all, hence you must dc
what you consider right in all mat
ters brought before you, regardless
of the changeable ideas presented
you by the public.

Two Things to be Kept in Mind In
Making u Permanent Pasture.

There is no question of more inn
pOrtance to the dairyman and general
stock breeder than that OF securing u
good, permanent pasture 1t is so
rare that we see such pasture that
il il worth while to consider how
we can obtain it. The desired per-
manepce Of grass Tor pasture is Sc
cured only when the grass will stand
continual cropping, is hardy, and
will prOdIce n succession OF good
grOwths. 1t must naturally form q
thick, close turf in order to resist the
injurious effects OF dry weather and
at the same time to form such a thick
mating overhead late in the season
as will protect the roots from the Sc
we're cold of winter. The danger to
good grass lands lste in fall cropping
comes from the alternate irerZing
and thawing which breaks up the
ground and exposes the roots Of the
grass to the cold, aud il the tops OF
the plauts are all eaten off there ia no
protection left. Where there is 3
good covering, however, the grass
roots are kept from being winter
killed, and the turf Is also so thick
hat frost will not throw tue roots up
to any great extent.
On low, heavy soils a permanent
pasture should, as Il rule, be little
different from one situated upon a
high, dry soil. On the low, neavy
soils redtop, alsike, meadow fe@cue,
and some of the cloverH do well for q
permanent pasture.
Glover itself will not. stand much
pasturing, but even in permanent
pa5ture field it helps to fill up with D
great amount of nutritious herbage
and it is valuable to mix it with
other grasses For the first two sea
sons it will yield an abundance of
gcSss for cropping. Red clover, how
ever, is not very good in permanent
pasture, and it is better to leave it

They were as good melons as one

for dinner l was curious enough to

from the offspring it will make its
appearance in the way OF thumps,
which bears resemblance to heart

Bran For Hogs.

II is strange, says an exchange,
now men differ ia regard to some
thugs concerning which it would
seem as if they could do nothing else
than agree. 1t sometimes seems a-
if experience teaches Que mao one
thing and another directly opposite.
For example, some SWINE feeders are
loud in their praises of Orau rs food

The Philosophy of Curing HAY.

The hay cured in the COCK, says q
contemporary, is OF faI better quail
~ than that entirely sun-dried. The
long exposure to the Sun has au iu-
furious effect on the soluble matters
vi the grass, and changes these into
woody tiOre that is iudigestlble and
innutrltiOus. But when dried in
the shade the grass retains all its
nutrttive quality and the nay Is of
the greatest value for feeding. Hay
caps are necessary for this method of
curing. When the grass has been
thoroughly wI4ted and the surface
dried by few hours exposure 10
the wind and sun it is gathered into
cocks four feet nigh and two feet
wide. In this condition it ferments
ald heats, aud this to some extent
cooks the grass or clover aud changes
some of it's fiDre into starch, and
some OF the starch into sugar. This
adds to It's value. The heat passes
off easily through the one foot of
grass and no harm Is done 10 the hay,
which cures bright green and re-
quires sweet OdUr. Ii the heELing is

on top by the caps, these being fas-

TO leave the hay alone, and not dis

to a remote part of the farm, and pill
ing some brush over 1t, left it to the
disposal OF nature.
Five days after he was surprised to
see horse grazing in his pasture.
He went to see how the strange AMI
NAL got into his field, and was almost
.paralyzed to perceive that 1t WAS his
faithful old Bess that he had cast for
the crows She WAS rather worse for
her experience, but lacked good
deal of being dead. He approached
her and che evidently recognized
him, and submitte quietly to be led
by the forelock to the barn. The
farmer called his wife to identify the
horse, which she did, and then hur.
ried off to the place where he had
deposited the supposed corpse, to
make sure he was nOt deceived. He
found the brush with which he had
covered her altered about, but the
body was not there. Old Bess had
evidently risen from the dead or had
nevet been dead ut all.

Wheat ShrinkHge,

station, in test made with stored
wheat it was found that when grain
is threshed dry from the field the loss
in weight by storage is only 2l5 per
cent on the average. The last weigh
ing was made when the grain had
been in the bins three Years. An
other experiment proved that con
dition of weather affects weight of
stored grain. Twenty bags Of dry
wheat were put in bin in January,
1892, and left through the extraOrdi-
nary, wet spring and early summer
that followed, being re-weighed in
July. 1t was found that the aggre-
gate weight of the 20 bags was few
pounds greater than when stored.
