Y BARGAINS IN DRY GOODS.
 Some lively changes have occurred in the dry goods business in Bridgeport, during the past few weeks. A. E. Lo- gie, the hustlng manager of W. B. Hall x Co.,, has been looking for home for some weeks, knowing that they must va- cate their present quarters. At last he has secured a desirable location, by bay ing out the dry goods firm of the Cope land Brothers Co. The store is to be re- fitted for their occupancy, but before it can be done the large stock of dry goods must be gotten rid of, and as they don't want to move the Hall stock the com blned stocks of the two stores are to be sold for cash during the months of April and May. This is rare chance to buy dry goods at a bargain and the people will not be slow in taking advantage of it. U

BY the use of electric light Hon W.
W. Rawson, of Arlington, Mass, claims
that he makes gain of five days in
each OF his three crops of lettuce
that is, two weeks in season-that
the gain on one crop pays all the ex-
penses of the electric lighting for the
season, thus giving him the gain on the
other two for extra profit. His atten-
tion was first called to the usefulness
OF the light by the advance made in
the growth at the ends of his green
houses next the street and in the glare
of the electric light. This was so
marked that he introduced the light
through his lettuce and cucumber
houses. DIR. Bailey, of Cornell univer.
sity, says as the result of his own ex-
periments that the influence of the
light is greatly modified by the inter-
position OF a glass roof. Plants in
jured by a naked light were benefited
by the protected light. Five hours
light per night at distance of twelve
feet fastened maturity week or ten
days, but proved injurious to young
plants and those newly transplanted.

which the barrel is placed and will re-
main firmly upright If after time the
barrel seems inclined to slip down, this
may be prevented by putting on a
couple OF cleats. Legs are put on
wheelb arrow fashion merely for sup
port. In No. Q the barrel is so placed
as to more nearly balance. First make
a square by firmly mortising together
four 2x4-inch timbers the desired
length. To put on the wheels bore
holes in the side pieces about the mid
die of each and in these insert pieces
of hickory shaped to fit the opening in
the wheel hub. Bolt handles to this,
put on legs and braces and the cart is
complete. In making both these carts
they must be so constructed as to per-
nit the barrel bottom to be several
inches from the ground, but not so
high as to make it difficult to remove
the slop with pail. An old kerosene
or vinegar barrel with the head re-
moved and used as cover serves very
we'll. II is not necessary to use plow
handles, but they are the best. Ordi-
nary straight pieces of lumber with
the one end slightly rounded off will
do. The size of the square, length OF
the axle, etc, will depend upon the
barrel to be used. - Orange Judd

Three and q half miles west Of
Aldie, Loudoun county, Va, is the To-
cally famous ''blacl1 swamp" and a
strange story has been current there
abouts for the better part of this cen
tury. Jesse McVeigh lived long agoin
an old stone house on the edge of the
swamp, and there came to him once
stranger asking shelter. The stranger
was taken in and he lived there for
five years. He never went beyond the
pond for exercise, and he took elaborate
precautions at night to guard against
surprise. When he died a stranger from
a neighboring village came and claimed
the body, processing to recognize the
dead man as an acquaintance. The
stranger who claimed the body was
the dead mans son, and he afterward
became chief justice of the United
States supreme court. The man, a
wealthy and educated Marylander, but
man of ungovernable temper, had
slain guest at his own table by
breaking his skull with a decanter.
The homicide's place of hiding was
hardly more than fifty miles from the
scene of his crime.

HOME DAIRY PRODUCT.
Unless 1t Is of the Best There Is No
Profit In 1t.


In the fight against oleo every dairy
man has part to perform. Not the
least of this with many dairymen is
the Improvement of their own product.
Oleo advocates claim, not without some
show of reason, that oleo finds ready
sale because there is SO much poor but
ter on the market. Oleo, favoriess, or
nearly SO, colored and put up in at
tractive form in imitation of the
choicest butter, is fraudulently offered
to consumers as butter Thinking that
it is butter, consumers buy it in prefer
ence to genuine butter that is off fla
vor. For months past, during the low
est business depression ever known,
choice dairy products have brought re-
munerative prices. What stronger in
ducements than good prices and fair
profits are needed to encourage i'm
provement in the quality of the product
of the farm dairy? Better care OF the
cows, better methods OF handling the
milk, cream and butter will make the
desired Improvement, and they are
within the reach OF every butter-maker.
Improved dairy apparatus saves time
and labor and makes it comparatively
easy to turn out gilt-edged product
There is no profit now in anything else
There are profits in making choice but
