Lard Oil at Half Price.

The Advertiser says: "a number of
firms have lately received letters pur-
porting to come from an oil firm in
Cleveland, offering to sell lard oil, of
first quality, for "a cents per gallon. AS
this is about one-half what the oil is
worth it is expected that there is some
swindle on foot. So far as known, no
firm has consented to buy oil at this

A correspondent of the Texas Farm
and Ranch writes to that paper to
contradict an assertion that pounded
glass would prove fatal to chickens,
saying: -Four years ago a lady friend
Of mine remarked to me that she
gave her chickens pounded glass to
cure cholera and prevent disease. I
had much the finest flock of chickens
in the community, but they were dy.
ing with the cholera. l went home
and pounded up a lot of window glass
out in the poultry yard. My chickens
came around and picked up every
particle of the broken glass, from the
size of a grain of wheat down to the
finest dust. 1 have kept up the treat
ment, pounding up a big lot Of glass
every four OF five days ever since,
with splendid results. A neighbor
Of mine owned a large flock of tur-
keys. He remarked to me:
"My turkeys are dying at the rate
of two and three per day. What DO
| you do for them?"
said:
"Take a rock and a hammer and
pound up a lot Of glass for them"
A few weeks later he said:
SWELL, l thought you we're crazy,
but l went to work and pounded up q
lot Of glass in my turkey yard, and I
haven't lost a turkey since"
The glass cuts the food up in the
crop and prepares it for the gizzard,
then it grinds the food as fine as
nOWder. furnishes silfcic acid for
digestion, and cleans the gtzzard out
perfectly clean. The best thing I
have eve tried for grit and egg-shell
production is pounded crockery and
china ware.

A Cat That Killed snakcs.

"Did you ever toe a snake-killing
cat?" asked a Southern gentleman the
other day. II had one once that had
a regular passion for killing snakes. /
was running q lumber camp in Flori-
da. 1t was in a very sparsely settled
county, plenty of marsh and rotten
trees, and altogether an ideal retreat
for snakes of all kinds. We never did
know where that cat came from. It
strolled into camp one day, although
there was not Q house within ten miles
of it. The next day We found 1t en-
gagged in mortal combat with q rattle
snake. The snake did not last very
long. After that the cat would xiii
every snake it found. It would begin
by patting them softly with its paws,
perhaps scratching the skin just a
tribe. Its purpose seemed to be to ir-
tate the snake to the striking point.
When it rose to strike the cat would
jump around it, and nip it in the back
before the snake could turn its head.
1t would yank the snake by the tail,
ard keep on nipping it until its back
vas broken in several places. Then
the cat would drag the dead snake to
camp with great pride, and would purr
and sing in great shape. That cat
kept the camp itself clear of snakes.
Before that time we were almost afraid
to go to sleep for them"

A Science of Uld SHOES.

A French savant has invented a new
science which he terms scarpology,
whereby he proposes to diagnosticate
mental qualities from the appearance
of the shoes worn by the subject. He
claims that shoes that have been worn
are full of faithful indications as tc
lack of energy, fickleness, rad temper,
or the opposite qualities, as the Gaze
may be. If the sole and heel of shoe,
after months wear, are equally worn,
the owner is an energetic business
man, an employee that can be relied on,
a good wife or excellent mother. II
the outside edge is most worn, the
owner is adventurous to rashness and
of 8 bold and persistent turn of mind.
Wear of the inside edge indicates ir.
