Fig. 4 illustrates style of coop in
common use in some sections where poul-
try is an important farm crop. It is
about as economical Of lumber as any
coop that can be made, and at the same
time gives the greatest possible proper
ton of floor room. In making up lot
of coops of this style scarcely any lum-
Der need be wasted. We have been &C
customed to make the roof boards 3S
inches long on one side and IS inches on
the other. By using foot wide boards
and placing two together we get coop
2 feet deep. By making the lower an

"Judge Elder couldn't sleep nights

notice in Denver paper that a suit
for divorce has been instituted by Mrs.
Alice Oyster against Nah NJ Oyster, her
husband, on the groun infdelity.
Probably she didn't knost that he was
an infidel when she married him.
She little thought when she married
Mahlon in North Platte, Neb., in 1881,
that it would result in an oyster stew SO
soon. At North Platte Mr.. Oyster was
regarded as a New York count. but he
turned out to be cove, and sly one at
that.
So she grew cold, and learning of his
infdelity, she being good member of
the church, she forbade Mahlon her bed

Nothing can be sadder than to be dis
appointed in one we love- Alice no
doubt loved Mahlon devoutly, but he
was not what she had thought him to be
or what he represented himself. Instead
of being blue blood, there was not even
a blue point about him. He was Just a
common cove oyster, and an infidel at
that.
He fell in love with member of the
Goldfish aristocracy, and Mrs. Oyster at
once smelt mice Lancashire humorl.
He was the kind that one can get at 20
cents can.
One little oyster IL years old was the
result of this union. His name was Pat.
His schoolmates call him Oysters Patty.
That's because he's not popular in the
school, for the reason that he puts on
too many escallops.

preston and poise of head very accu-

He got some guns elephant guns to
use in case he should be attacked by In
dams and had a compass to use in dis
tracing the attention of the savages in
case he should be captured, for he had
read at home about Captain John Smith
and how he worked it. He also had a
lot of taxidermy tools and things to
stuff the buffalo and grizzly bear that he
hoped to kill in case they came to attack
his young mules and carry them off.
He had read that the cost of raising a
mule in Kentucky was comparatively
nothing, but when grown $3.50 to $500
per pair was a very common price. He
wondered why no one had seen that be-
fore and taken advantage of it.
So he went to Spain and bought a
beautiful jack called Ferdinand II, and
the two came over together, the Earl of
Tinktum and Ferdinand II.
Both Of them were seasick most of the
way over. The earl suffered most, for
he did not have the mental resources
that Ferdinand did to occupy himself
with.
They landed in Kentucky a year ago
and began to sit up and take notice.
The earl bought 20 jennies and moved
out to the ranch. There they have all
been for over year, growing up with
the country.
No change has taken place on the
ranch, so the colonel told me, except
that Ferdinand II last October one day,
when the gum tree was ablaze with col
or and the blue grass soft emerald un-
der the beautiful shade of the reddening
oak. curled up in fence corner and
died.
Some said it was homesickness, but
generally it was agreed that Ferdinand
died because he had been disappointed
and deceived by the Earl of Tinktum.
The colonel got to speaking of the cal
umny against Kentucky regarding the
matter of whisky.
1--WE don't consume any more whisky
than Maine does,' he said, ''but we want
it good. Now, my neighbor, Judge FL

whisky as mine-it is 9 years old. which
is plenty old enough, think, and about
as old as we allow it to get here-so he

The girl loved him with that foolish

The less worthy he became the more
her devotion grew.
The young man didn't do anything to
encourage it either. He simply appeared
on the scene.
It was ever thus.
In time stories came to her ears, and
she told him how she disbelieved every
one of them.
They said he wouldn't pay his debts,
but she knew better, for had she not di-
vided her allowance with him for this
very purpose?
Indeed she had, and she told her papa
a story about it.
One day he had long talk with her
over his troubles, and she did what she
could to brace him up.

Kam- Corn as Fodder.

The white and red Kaffir corn are
alike in their habits of growth. They
differ, however, not only in the color
of the seed, but also in the yield per acre
and in time of ripening. The red va
riety has invariably been the best yield
er at the Kansas station, and it also
natures couple of weeks earlier than
the white seeded variety. Both points
are of importance.
Professor Georgeson says that the
Kafir corn seed is equal to corn in
feeding value, and the red variety yields
rather better than corn in all seasons
and in dry seasons will produce mod
crate crop of seed when corn only pro-
duces fodder. 1t is owing to these COM
bined good qualities that red Kaffir
corn is growing more and more in favor
throughout the west, and especially
west of the Missouri river.
Kaffir corn seed ripens before the
leaves ripen. and consequently the crop
can be left undisturbed until the seed
natures, when the fodder, being still
green, can be cut and cured. Corn, on
the other hand, must be cut before the
grain is fully ripe if good quality of
fodder is wanted. Kaffir corn is best
grown in rows 80 inches to three feet
apart and can be sown either with a
sorghum drill or with common wheat
drill. A little practice will soon show
how the drill must be set in order to
SOW the right quantity of seed. If it
comes up too thick, it must be thinned.
Good heads will be formed when the
stalks are about four or five inches apart
in the row. In all other respects it
should be cultivated like corn.

Hence his infidelity has caused her to
consider him a bad oyster.
She has put the matter in the courts,
and through the columns of the paper
she has given him mock roast.
She says she may have been goose,
but not of Oyster dressing. She claims
to have maintained herself and Oysters
Patty for over five years, and she has
decided not to be a clam. She desires
absolute divorce from Mahlon and asks
also for alimony, to be paid out of his
celery.
How sad all this is to consider! To
think that for years one is an oyster,
then to find that he has been sucker!
But enough.

A NEW VAULT.
It Will be Built in the Executive
Building.

The contract for furnishing a
burglar proof vault for the Finance
office has been awarded to the
Diebol Safe and Lock Company
of Canton, Ohio. There were three
bidders for the vault, but the above
company were awarded the con-
tract for $2350. T. w. Hebron is
the local representative.
The vault will be placed in the
small room on the right-hand side
of the entrance leading into the
Office of the Minister of Finance.
The vault will be 6 feet s inches
wide, feet inches deep, and II
feet high. The peculiar shape is
necessary owing to the smallness
of the room in which the vault is
to be erected. The lining will be
constructed of 4-inch 5ply welded
iron and steel. There will be both
inner and outer doors. The inside
doors will be double and one inch
| in thickness, with a four-tumbler
combination lock. The outer door
will be 3 feet 4 inches wide by Z
feet 6 inches high, composed of
four plates of chrome and Bessemer
steel. The bolt-work will be mas
sive, and operated by an automatic
locking device controlled by a
three movement-time lock. The
patent-locking device will OBJ
viate the necessity of any aperture
or opening through the door, which
will be one solid piece of steel two
inches thick. When the door is
closed and the pressure gear ap-
piled, the lemons and grooves on
the door will be forced tightly into
corresponding ones on the vestibule,
making an air-tight joint. The
grooves will be lined with felt
packing, which will prevent the in
