HOW HE MANAGED 1T.
An Almighty HalleIujah Kind of a Man
on Growing Pumpkins.

A writer in the Farmers Home
journal tells the following story:
Pumpkins are an uncertain crop.
Some farmerssay that all the pump
kins you get are so much corn. ]
do not believe word of it.
l had failed in my pumpkin crop
several years, and 1 was mad about
1T. One day, when | was riding
through Acton, Mass, 1 saw a fine
field of corn all full of pumpkins,
and man walking around in it
looking as if he was the happy own
er. So 1 left my horse and went
into the field.
"Good morning, sir. Do you
own this corn?"
81 suppose l do"
"You must be an almighty splen-
did hallelujah kind of a man to have
such field Of pumpkins as these,
and nobody else on the roadhas any.
How do you manage it?"
He laughed. "Of course you
plant your pumpkins when you do
your corn?"
eyes, sir"
"And of course you don't get any
pumpkins"
Exactly So
"Now, don't do it any more. 1t
is too early. Then, again, the
pumpkin bugs eat them. Not that
the pumpkin bugs like them, but
there is nothing else for the pump
kin bugs to eat so early; the bugs
eat what the cold does not destroy.
But at your first hoeing you stick a
pumpkin seed, point downward, in
one side of every sixth hill of corn.
Then the seed will not have to shift
ends Of itself and roll over in the
ground, but will come up and grow
like weed and make you laugh"
The next year [ had four acres
of corn in one piece and many cart
fuls Of as perfect pumpkins as l ever
saw grown.
Fine grained pumpkins make the
best Of pies, and, in moderation, are
an addition to the feed of cattle
Too much pumpkin is not good, as
the seeds are too strong a diuretic
They had better be cut in a root
cutter and sprinkled with meal OF
middlings.

A remarkably good story was
current about Judge Jackson at

trial of the Fidelity Bank case in
Cincinnati, says the Enquirer.
Many years previous, when he
was a vice-president of a bank in
Tennessee, a run was set in against

BOARD OF HEALTH.
Health Omcer Miles Putting the Town in
Good Condition.

Health Ofiicer Miles Putting the ToWn IN
Good Condition.
The local Board Of Health acted wisely in
selecting Edward Miles as Health officer Of
this town. His work, beyond a doubt shows
that he is the right man in the right place.
Since his appointment to this important posi-
tion he has made daily investigations Of mum.
erous complaints, and within a short time he
will have the town in good sanitary condi
tion.
As a general rule he finds property holders
and tenants willing TO carry out his insuuc-
tions in removing the filth from their prem
ises, and he is seldom compelled to issue the
second notice. This is gratifying to the
Health Officer, and will materially aid him
in the performance Of his duties.
Market alley, which heretofore was one Of
the most filthy streets in that part Of the
town, now presents an entirely different APP
pearance. The same can be said Of the alley
at the rear Of the Catholic church. The Rob
bins and Beddall properties, on West Centre
street, are both undergoing a thorough clean
ing process, as well as number Of other
properties in different parts of the town.
The Health Officer has also inspected a
number of cellars that are in anything but a
healthy condition, and these will receive i'm.
mediate attention. In fact, number have
already been placed in a sanitary condition.
The Board of Health viii hold its regular
meeting Friday evening, when the report of
the Health Officer will be received and acted
upon and other business that may come up
for consideration transacted.
