Tiger Skins Not Popular In One Family.

Mrs. Richard Croker of New York city tells some funny stories of her ex- periences with people who have heard of Tammany tigers. One day a country man came to the Crollers' Richfeld Springs home to do some odd jobs. Mrs. Croker noticed him peering around the floors, and about the time she began to grow suspicious of the man he asked:
 "Where are the tigers?:'
 "Tgers! What tigersy'
 "Why, the folks around here say you kept tigers all on the floor"
 Mrs. Croker had to smile, but earnestly told him the tigers were out at pasture The man looked relieved. The fact of it is tiger skin rugs are not popular in the Croxer mansions.-Washing Post

Destroying Catcrpillnrs.

A writer for Orange Judd Farmer
says: A number of years ago the or
chard on our old homestead was liter
ally eaten up by caterpillars. In au-
tumn they would crawl up the door
step into the house, on rails, up trees
in the woods, and in fact everywhere
to pupate. The moths would then lay
their eggs on the fruit trees where the
worms did the most damage. The
spring after l took possession, about
June when their nests We're the size
of a quart cup, 1 got up early in the
morning before the catcrpillars We're
out of their sleeping places. collected tn
nests and burned them. This must be
done before sunrise or some will be
out feeding. This method although
requiring some little work was very cf,
fective, for since 1872 1 have not seen
n caterpillar on the place. If the work
is thoroughly done and persisted in fol
several years, they can be completely
cradicatcd. \ small orchard can be
gone over in two or three mornings.

Prize. for Good Farming.

The Royal Agricultural Society of
England las done great deal for Eng
lish agriculture both in the way of di-
rect educational work and in the con-
duct Of experiments for the benefit Of
the tiller Of the soil. BY these means
it has become distinct force in soly-
ing the problems that perplex the Eng
glish agriculturist.
One of the recent methods adopted
by this society for the encouragement
Of good farm management, is one which
might be advantageously introduced
into this country by agricultural So
cieties. 1t offers prizes for the best
conducted farm in the county or district
in which the annual summer meeting
of the society is held. The prizes have
amounted to from $1,000 to $1,000 a
year, and the expenses OF the judges,
or committee of award, have been
about as much more.
Local societies in this country that
could not afford to pay as much as this
could still offer very strong induce
ments to thrifty farmers to endeayor
to improve the condition of their farms
Besides the gain In the condition of the
farm, and the larger return in money
for increased crops, one or two hundred
dollars In solid cash would be a COM
Portable addition to the income OF the
year.
The principal points considered In
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1893-05-11

making the awards are as follows:
1. General management, with a view
to profit. 2. Productiveness Of crops.
3. Goodness and suitability of live
stock. T. Management Of grass lands.
5. Condition of gates, fences, roads,
buildings and general neatness. 6. The
farm book keeping.
Under the scheme laid down by the
society the farms entering the compe-
tition have been examined three times
a year, and the reports and unofficial
descriptions published in the agricultur-
al papers. This gives wide publicity to
the methods followed, and other than
competing farmers are thus benefited
by them. Agriculture in this country
needs improved methods practically ap-
piled more than anything else, ana we
don't know of any way of stimulating
their adoption more feasible and direct
than this or an adaptation of it to our
conditions

THE DUAL NATURE,
What Wigan Said Regarding Mans
Two Brains.

What Wfgan Said Regarding Mans
Two Brains.
Wigan was of the opinion that every
man had two brains, and that the most
powerful mind was that in which the
two brains, both being healthy, were
nearest to each other in capacity; but
he believed that that was also good
condition in which one brain took the
leading part, and which the other brain,
in accord with the stronger, lent the
stronger its assistance. A mind sus-
tanned in this manner was one strong
for endurance, and one that was able to
undertake, with certainty Of success.
full work, the most difficult and haz.
ardous labors. The minds of men like
Cromwell, Washington, Wellington,
Franklin, would be Of the last named
cast; while the minds Of the giants
of intellect, of Napoleon, Newton, Col
umbus, would be constructed on two
brains of equal power, both in unison
in their capacity and will for action.
II think it may be assumed" says
Wigan, "that the fact of each brain
being perfect and complete instru-
ment Of thought is abundantly proved.
That each, while in health, corresponds
in action with its fellow, is obvious
from the fact that this unison and cor
respondence give only one result as
in the case of two eyes producing sin
gle vision. That when, from any cause,
one brain is disordered, a discrepancy
in the two processes of thinking takes
place. That the healthy brain aided

GrcnI mems Love for Their Wives

The late eS-Presidcnt Hayes said of

more things than any woman have

sPoRTsMEN NUMEROUS.
Tho En1tcd States Coming to the
Front In the Matter of Gun Clubs.

II9l0 United States CominE to the
Front In the Matter of Gun Clubs.
Had the compilers Of the last census
given the same attention to collecting
the statistics and data of the sportsmen
as they did to all branches Of trade
the result would have furnished some
startling information, bordering on the
incredible. Harper's Weekly thinks it
is safe to say that there is more wealth
among the fraternity, more capital in
vested, more money spent annually, by
the sportsmcn Of America than by any
guild, society, order or whatsoever in
corporated body in the United States.
During the last ten years the increase
and development Of the sportsman
have been phenomenal. A decade ago
only the large cities had a gun club.
To-day it is a small town, indeed, which
does not boas. Of it's Zine team" In
fact, the modern gun club seems to
have taken the place of the old-fash-
Toned debating society, and the crack
of the double-barrel has drowned the
last echo Of sky-scraping eloquence.
The makers of fine guns in this country
could be counted on the fingers Of one
hand ten years ago; now they are nu-
merated by the score. The guns turned
out by these factories, in which mill
ions of dollars are invested, are Of the
very best, with all the latest improve
ments, and it is needless to add that
the American manufacturer keeps pace
with the world.
OF late the manufacture Of fixed am
munition has increased. Formerly
most sportsmen preferred to load their
own shells, but it became apparent that
the trade which made speciality Of
that business could, by buying the am
munition in large quantities, furnish
the shells loaded cheaper than the re-
tail buyer could obtain the material to
fill them, to say nothing of the time and
labor expended. 1t is exceptional now
to see any one who lives within reach
Of railroad attempt to charge his
shells, and even the small country
stores offer loaded ones for sale, where
only powder and shot could be OBJ
tanned. The amount of ammunition
used annually by the gun clubs would
supply the armies Of Europe. All this
has awakened an enthusiastic love of
real sport among the people. The time
when the city youth fond Of sport had
to steal through the dark streets on his
way to or from the country has passed
away. The young man who confesses
to q love of hunting is no longer pointed
out as ''neer-do-wen." America is
fast becoming a nation Of marksmen

Poultry Raising.

Poultry raising on large scale de-
mands special study. One cannot rea-
son that if one hen makes Il profit Of
$3.50 year, therefore 1000 will make
$1,000 clear Profit. In large flocks it
will be necessary to increase the size of
the farm, so that there will be Il larger
initial outlay, and the interest of this
money must be considered. There will
be great deal of loss from deaths
and crowding if one is not careful.
Different sanitary conditions will come
into existence. A dozen or two chicks
on a farm will not breed any disease
to speak of, but when several hundred
are kept there new and strange dis
eases will break out.-Coleman's Rural

The Farmers Vegetable Garden.
Every farmer should have a vegeta-
BILE garden says writer in Farm, Field
and Fireside Nothing will contribute
to the health and well being of fam
lily more than an abundance of fresh
vegetables, and the cost and labor Is
comparatively SO small that even the
busiest farmer can find tine to give the
garden the necessary attention.
Perhaps the best situation for the
average garden is an open, unshaded
piece of land, sloping slightly to the
south. Abrupt slopes In any direction
are undesirable because of their lia-
bility to wash in heavy rains.
The best soil is deep, rich, friable
loan, and the nearer your soil can be
made to resemble this the better If it
is impossible to put in tile drains,
cheaper system may be had by leaving
smooth-bottomed burrows at intervals
of from ten to thirty feet, which Will
carry off the surface water.
The best form for Il garden Is rec
tangle, several times longer than wide,
and if arranged for horse cultivation,
much time and labor may be saved.
AS soon as the ground can be worked
manure and plow under. Use the har-
row until the soil is thoroughly pulver-
lied so that the seed may be sur
rounded on all sides by minute par
ticles of soil from which to absorb
moisture. Plaster, wood ashes and
other commercial fertilizers may be
used to advantage. Sow the wood
ashes broadcast just before planting
and harrow in.
After the ground is prepared the
different seeds should be sown as early
as possible in the rotation in which they
mature, so that as soon as one crop
ripens it may be cleared away and a
later one planted. Whe selecting seed
be sure to procure it Of 4 scotsman who
has reputation for honesty and fair
dealing and select the old approved
| varieties rather than new untried ones.
1t is Of the greatest Importance that
| the rows should be perfectly straight,
not only on account Of their improved
| appearance, but because of the greater
ease with which they may be cult
waited.
Do not thlHk that as soon as you have
planted seed your work is over, for, in
truth, it is only just begun. Destroy
every weed as soon as it appears. II
this is done the later work will be mucf
lighter, and the Improved appearance
Of the garden and improved quality OF
the vegetables will amply repay yor
for your work. AS the roots Of the
plants grow larger and stronger cult
vate shallower so as not to injure them
Last, after all the vegetables art
safely stored, clean up all rubbish ant
burn. Give a liberal application o.
coarse stable manure and plow under
SO that the frosts and SHOWS Of winter
may benefit it as much as possible.
