THE LITTLE THINGS TIRE MOST
VALUABLE.

Comparatively few people regard themselves
as inventors but almost everybody has been
struck. at one time or another. with ideas that
seemed calculated to reduce some of the little
frictions of life. Usually such ideas are dis
missed without further thought.
why don't the railroad companies make its
car windows so that they can be slid up and
down without breaking the passenger backs?"
exclaims a traveller IF | were running the
road would make them in such a way"
"What was the mau who made this sucepan
thinking off, grumbles the cook HE never
had to work over the stove, or he would have
known how ii ought to have been fixed"
Hang such collar button!' growls the man
who is late for break asst. IF l were in the
business | make buttons that wouldn't slip
out. or break of, or gouge out the back of my
neck"
And then the various sufferers forget about
their grievances and begin to think of some
thing else If they would sit down at the next
convenient opportunity. put their ideas about
car windows. saucepans. and collar buttons in
to practical shape, and then apply for patents.
they might find themselves As independently
wealthy n the man who Invented the iron UNI
brella ring, or the one who patented the fifteen
puzzle.

Sunfower seed, it is well known,
is a good reproducing food for
chickens; it is also fine food to give
the plumage a glossy appearance for
exhibition purposes.
When swapping of echoes can
be effected there surely ought to be
commercial prosperity. Some
Americans always below when the
English cry "sook." IA fair ex-
change is no robbery" When the
American tariff committee cries
"Free Wool" the whole English peo-
pie below 'Glory."
The best method of keeping hens
in good laying condition is to afford
them scratching place. The grain
should be scattered in leaves, cut
straw, or even dirt, so as to compel
them to work. Idleness is vice
that leads to egg eating and feather
pulling, preventing that condition
which promotes egg production.
The large hog is becoming thing
of the past unless lard is speciality.
Hogs of medium size now bring the
highest prices and it has been dem
onstrated that in proportion to the
time required for converting a GER
tain amount of food into pork a
larger profit can be made from a
medium size hog than from an
extra large one.
Do not underestimate the value
of the wood ashes produced on the
farm this Winter, and so let them
go to waste. They are valuable in
the garden, and for corn and wheat
as we'll, and the value of liberal
application of them will be seen for
years. Keep covered until you are
ready to apply them to the land, so
that they do not leach.
Mrs. Jennie Atchley of Texas is
one of the most intelligent and sue
cessful apiarists of the country,
says an exchange. She has pro-
duced this year 5000 queen bees,
and on account of her Southern To-
cation is able to end them at any
season of the year, She is likewise
the mother of eight children, and
is only SO years old.
Artichokes are grown principally
for hogs. They yield largely but
are difficult to harvest as a crop,
the usual method being to turn the
hogs on the plot and allow them to
help themselves. From 300 to 600
bushels can be grown on an acre,
and they will grow on any kind Of
land that produces potatoes. Once
established they seed themselves
every year from the tubers left over,
and are difficult to eradicate.
An experienced butter maker
claims that if the churn is first
scalded with hot water and then
rinsed with cold water, the cream
will not pack into the corners or
crevices, nor adhere to the sides.
Then, after the churning and the
withdrawal of butter and the butter
milk, reverse the process that is,
first thoroughly rinse with cold
water and then scald with hot water,
and the operation is complete.

General Farm Notes.

when poured around young shrub
berry.
Buckwheat may be ground and
fed with advantage. Used with skim
milk it is one of the best grains that
can be given young pigs.
The appearance of animals on a
farm tells good deal about the
owner and his tastes. Thin COWS,
with prominent ribs in Winter or
Spring, are not much of recon-
mendation.
When the leaves are allowed to 60
to waste there is but little actual
loss in that manner, but it means
a loss of valuable manure that might
have been saved by using the leaves
as an absorbent.
More food than is required is a
waste, as much will be thrown
under foot and trampled. There is
no fixed allowance. The best rule
to observe is to give each animal as
much as it will eat up clean and be
satisfied.
Spread manure around the rasp-
berry canes. 1t will serve as a
mulch, and the rains will carry the
plant food down where the roots
will secure it in the Spring. This
plan will give large berries next
season.
The man who owns a poultry
farm and runs it according to either
Gunter or Hoyle, would never know
there was any hard times if he
didn't happen to meet some of his
neighbors who eschew all improved
methods.
Sugar beets make an excellent
feed for the hogs. So you may ex-
pertinent to find if you can grow
beets that will make good sugar and
not waste your crop of time while
you are doing it. The hogs will
pay you for them.
The small potatoes are worth
nearly as much per bushel, in food
value, on the farm, as the larger
ones. They may not be salable,
but the pigs will care nothing for
the size, and will accept them as
readily as they will the best.
Among the causes for the spread
of disease among horses and cattle
there is nothing so common as dirty
stalls in illy-kept stables. The horse
has as good right to clean bed and
wholesome stall as his master, and
prospers on it accordingly.
Even with the best of food, an
animal will lose flesh in Winter I'M
less it is we'll sheltered. This means
not close roof only, but freedom
from draughts of air. A hole or
crack in the wall is more damaging
to an animal than exposure to the
open air.
Keeping food before stock causes
the animals to refuse it at some time.
All kinds of stock prefer variety,
and will thrive better when fed at
regular periods. 1t is an indication
OF laziness when the troughs are
kept full, and it is also a waste of
food.
The question as to whether apple
orchards should be cultivated or
kept in grass has long been a subject
for discussion. The Massachuset is
horticultural Society has decided
that apples grown in grass land
will keep longer than others, and,
therefore, approve of that method,
at least for late-keeping sorts.
There are 225 canneries in Maine
devoted exclusively to the preserv-
ing of sweet corn in tin cans. The
average output of these establish
ments is 100000 cans each, making
in all 67 100000 cans annually put
on the market, each containing
twenty-six ounces of corn.

NOT so HARD A. 1T SEEMS

patent strikes a person as an appalliry
formidable thing The idea is that an invenr |
must be natural genius. like Edison or Be; !
that he must devote years to delving in comp,
Gated mechanical problems. and that he mu,
spend fortune on delicate experiments beforl
he can get new device to patentable degret
of perfection. This delusion the company de
sires to dispel. 1t desires to get into the head
OF the public a clear comprehension of the fact
that it is not the great, complex. and expensive
inventions that bring the best returns to their
authors. but the little. simple and cheap ones
the things that seem so absurdly trivial that
the average citizen would feel somewhat
ashamed of bringing them to the attention OF
the Patent Office.
Edison saws that the profits he has received
from the patents on all his marvellous invent
ions have not been sufficient to pay the cost OF
his experiments. But the man who conceived
the idea of fastening bit of rubber cord to a
childs ball, so that it would come back to the
hand when thrown, made fortune out of the
scheme. The modern sewing machine is mi
racle OF ingenuity-the product of the toll OF
hundreds OF busy brains through hundred
and fifty years. but the whole brilliant result
rests upon putting the eye of the needle at the
point instead of at the other end.

Bridget Jones, Alias Dolan, Arrested
on a Charge Of Infanticide.

And There . Child Was Born-When She

Throat

Bridget Jones, alias Dolan, woman
about 35 years OF age, is languishing be-
hind iron bars at the central station un-
der suspicion OF numbering her child.
She was arraigned in the sixth district
court this morning charged with infanti-
eide and pleading not guilty was held for
trial Friday without bail.
For some time past the woman has been
living In the cellar Of the house at GA
Culver street. She was extremely poor
and the cellar was bare of even the most
common articles OF furniture. A pile OF
rags in one corner constituted the bed aud
a ragged coverlid but poorly sheltered her
from the dampness OF the cold
drauRhts that sweep through numerous
breaks In the walls aud ceiling.
When the woman came into the neig b.
borhood she claimed TO be married and
stated that she had lost the husband
whose name she bore, Patrick Dolan.
nine months ago, Immediately after their
marriage. She also stated that she
had been married several years ago to a
man named Jones who had died, and her
claim was substantiated by 7-year-old
boy she had with her named John Pat
rick Jones.

bors, and she received aid sufficient to
keep body and soul together for several
weeks. Finally Mrs. Dolan was taken

she gave birth 10 male
child. The neiRhbors knew nothing
OF the Occurrences until Sunday,
when Mrs. Dolan called them in and dis
played the body OF the child. which she
claimed had lived but a few moments.
Captain Costine OF the fifth station was
called to take charge OF the body. but
something about the affair aroused his
suspicious aud he summoned Medical
Examiner Palmer.
DR.. Palmer examined the body OF the
child and came to the conclusion that a
foul murder had been COM
mitted. He discovered the
marks Of fingers on the throat
of the infant and found that every indi-
cation pointed to violent deatl. The
muscles OF tho body were contracted I'm
terrible intensity aud the blackencd
features and bulged eyes showed only
too plainly the violent nature of death.
Mrs. Dolan was very i'll, aud while
virtually under arrest from Sunday was
not notified until this morning when she
had recovered sufficiently to be taken into
custody.
This morning Captain Costine placed her
under arrest. Mrs Dolan became very
much enraged when the nature OF the
charge was explained to hsr, and per-
sisted In her declaration that the child
died natural death. She refused to ex-
plain he presence OF the finger marks on
the throat OF the infant and will be tried
