FOR KEEPING A COW,

There is man in Chicago who
pays $4,000 year for the privilege
OF keeping a COW.
He is a sane man, business man,
a man Of family and generally re
spected in the community. His poor
relatives declare him a freak, and his
neighbors shrug their shoulders and
mumur things about rich mems whims.
The way of it is, he possesses a
valuable building lot in choice resi-
dence portion of the city, and, having
nothing else to do with it, he put a
nice little fence around it and quar-
tered therein his pet Jersey COW. The
COW was an artistic COW, and harmon.
lied well with the green turf and lilac
bushes, SO people rather admired the
arrangement. One day man came
along who thought he would like to
build a house on that particular lot,
so he hunted up the owner and made
him a spot cash offer of $3oo,o for
the land. His offer was refused,
decisiveiy and politely.
But" demonstrated a relative,
aghast, "that would pay you $rS,ooo

A Patent Fertilizer.

This invention relates 10 d comb1,a,
tion of chemicals to be used in con-
necuon with dry peat, or muck and
unleached ashes, or with any refuse
matter having fertillzing properties,
to form fertilizing compound: and
IL consists in combining dissolved
bone, ground plaster, citrate Of soda,
sulphate of soda and sulphaye Of am
monia, in proportion substantially as
follows:
Dissolved bone, three bushels;
ground plaster, three bushels; mira te
OF soda, forty pounds; sulphate Of
soda forty pounds; sulphate of
ammonia, thlrty-three pounds. This
mixture Is Incorporated with, say,
twenty bushels Of dry peat or muck,
and three bushels of unleached ashes.
The manner OF preparing a fertiliz-
ing compound from the above ingrcdi-
ents Is as follows: The peat or muck
and ashes, If such matter be used rs
the base of the mixture, are thorough
ly mixed with the dissolved bone, and
the nitrate Of soda, sulphate of soda,
and sulphate OF ammonia, after being
dissolved In water, added thereto.
The ingredients are then incorporat ted
with the ground plaster, after wich
the compound Is allowed to stand for,
say, thirty or forty days, when 1t be-
comes ready for use.

THE BRIDE KNOCKED OUT.
A Comical Incident Growing Out of n
Time-Honored Citizen.

A wcll-known drummer returning
from Southern trip relates the fol
lowing story as of actual occurrence at
Il negro wedding in Charleston, s. O.:
After the ceremony had been con-
cludcd in the most approved style, the
bridegroom who was employed in one
of the phosphate mines, few miles
from that city, bundled his bride into
Il rude cart. loaded some household
effects into it, and prepared, among
salvos of cheers and best wishes, to
take her home.
AT this stage of the proceedings one
darky, who had travelled and been
present as waiter at the wedding of
some white folks, suggested that the
proper thing to do was to throw shoes
after the departing couple as they
drove away.
The idea took immensely, and such a
scrambling as followed when the color
ed bellies and beauX began to divest
their feet of boots and shoes of various
sizes and weightsl Many of the men
had no stockings on beneath their
shoes, but that made no difference
They all hung back. suppressing their
enthusiasm until the happy bridegroom
brought bale stick down on the back
of the mule and started his bridal trip.
Then, with howl of joy, the guests
burst forth and began a fusillade
which was by no means relished by
the happy pair.
The air was filled with flying mis-
SSiles. One gigantic boot struck the
bridegroom in the small of the back
and drew from him wild yell of
agony. Another, hurling through the
air with unerring aim, struck the bride
iull on the head and knocked her sense.
less.
This was too much for the bride
groom. Leaping from his cart. with
his bale stick in hand, he set about to
thrash every one of the guests. As
might be inferred, n wild riot ensued,
or was about to. when a policeman
came up and put a stop to it. Nothing,
however, could apppase the dusky
bridegroom until the officer assured
him that he was NOT the victim of an
indignity, but merely the object of a
bridal custom such as white folks al
ways observed.-Cincinnati CONNER

Twelve Year Old Boy Run Over ly q
Heavy Land Roller.

The youngest son Of Omer Cha
flee, lad twelve years old, had a
narrow escape from death last Satur
day. Mr.. Chatfee lives near LeRays
vile, and was rolling land with a
heavy roller. He left the boy holding
the horses while he was after drink,
and returning gave the boy permission
to ride on the roller and drive the
team up to the barn In starting UP,
the boy was thrown headlong in front
of the roller, face downward, and the
heavy roller passed entirely over him.
1t is miraculous, indeed, that the
boy was not killed. The LeRaysvile
Advertiser says he sustained serious
injuries, the radius bone of the right
arm being broken about an inch above
the wrist and the wrist dislocated :
one ankle was sprained, scalp wound
on the back of the head about two
inches long and severe bruises on the
body. The boy was picked up for
dead, as blood oozed from the mouth
and ears. S.,-.1-a1o
The boy is doing well, and unless
something internal sets in, is in fair
way to recover. Being thrown on his
face and the roller passing gradually
from the feet to the head was undoubt
edly most fortunate, for had the
weight struck his head first, it would
probably have crushed that member
andresulted fatally Weekly Recieao.

sOUTHDOWN SHEEP.
Characteristics OF this Favorite Breed and
American Methods.


The revival in the sheep interest
througout the country has caused
greater importations of the we'll
known breeds. and also the introduc-
ton of several which have hitherto
been nearly or quite unknown on our
shores But amid all this, the South
downs have fully held their own. The
popularity of other mutton breeds has
not created any Injurious rivalry, and
the SouthdownS never stood higher
among intelligent breeders than they
stand now. They are comely sheep,
with small, neat heads. thin, sensitive
ears, brownish-gray faces. broad, level
backs, plump bodies, deep quarters,
and light, clean legs of the same color
as the face. Full-grown ewes and
wethers, in good condition, average
in weight from $50 to 200 pounds. The
fleece is dry and the staple of mid
ding length. somewhat harsh, but
strong and durable. The fleeces aver
age from five to eight pounds of wash
ed wool. 1t Is the quality of their
flesh which gives the Southdowns
their pre-emlnence. The mutton Is
delicate and juicy, with the lean nice

in flavor The ewes are prolific. good
mothers, and good nurses. The breed
is prepotent. impressing its character
