Many farmers will plant corn in
their wheat ground after the wheat
is harvested. Working on the suppo-
SitiOn that this country is to receive
plenty of rain from now on, those
who do this will realize a fair double
crop on their land, something which
is not possible IN but few countries.
The experiment has proven success
full here in past years.

The Valueleaa Title.

What bally lot Of idiots foreigners
must think we are, for the way In which
we jump at anything bearing a title which
they may send over herei A fellow has
only to announce himself q prince, a count
or q baron, and we rush helter skelter to
ask him to dinner, present him to our
women and make IL possible for him to
marry our daughters. Trpe, he may be a
prince in Russia, where that title increases
and multiplies at a dreadful rate, or q
baron in Germany, where barons are as
plentiful as peanuts In Georgia. or count
in Italy, where counts are all over tho
place; nobody stops to question the quality
Of the title; the mere fact Of a title at all
is enough. 1t is to be hoped that presently
we shall learn that gentlemen with titles
are very like gentlemen with none-they
vary in quality and degree Of merit, and
the title has not one atom Of saving grace.

THE MILK TESTER.


OwpsvN al MILK Cattle.
The English sgriculturist ID slow 10 take
advantage az modern scientific discoveries
and inventions. Even tho cream scpara-
tor, tho principle and utility Of which arc
universally understood, has not yet come
into general uso in this country. Az for
tho milk tester, Its very name is unknown
10 thousands Of English farmers. Yet tho
value of this simple and inexpensive ap-
pliance to every ono who owns milk cat
tlo IL incalculablc, and Its employment IL
doing more 20 advance tho dairyfng In
dustry In America and elsewhere than per-
haps even the separator itself. Nero guam
tity Of milk does not give any clcw as TO
tho butter producing capabaiiy OF n COW.
But by tho tester tho percentage Of buttcs
fat In cach cows milk IL ascertaincd, with
hardly any labor and with absolute nc
curacy before tho milk Is poured into tho
common receptacle for butter making pur-
poses.
Tho dairyman who has no tester merely
knows tho quantity OF butter his cows pro-
duce I'm the aggregate. He has no clew as
To tho value OF each individual COW In tho
herd With the tester on tho other hand,
no knows exactly how much butter each
individual cow produces from every gallon
OF Its milk. by this means he IL enabled
to Gull his herd, replacing poor butter pro-
ducers by good ones. Tho poor COW costs
just as much for food and attention as the
good one, but the annual monetary re-
turns OF the two animals show wide
margin OF difference. Moreover, a good
butter cow produces good butter stock,
and so, from his knowledge acquired from
tho use OF tho milk tester, the breeder Of
dairy stock Is enabled to select the proper
calves TO rear and the proper ones to reject.
In this way 1t becomes perfectly posi-
BILE, as has been actually done on farms in
Vermont and elsewhere In the United
States, to grade up dairy herd from an
average production per COW of $50 pounds
Of butter per annum TO an average Of 800
pounds and over. With these figures be-
| fore him, even the layman will grasp the
value OF such an invention to each individ-
ual farmer who uses 1t. But. let US reflect
| what are the money advantages OF the sys-
tern when spread over the 200 farms that
contribute to such q creamery as that Of
st. Albans, VT; what the gain to the
whole Of that great dairying state, what
the enhanced profit to the vast dairying
industry Of America. We're the milk tester
In universal use throughout Great Britain
and Ireland, the capitalized value Of our
dairy herds might be increased in few
years time fully 25 per cent. If, then, the
British farmer does not eagerly avail him
self OF such an invention, can he fairly
grumble at being ousted from his own
markets by his foreign competitorf-West-

THUNDER AND LIGHTNING.
Don't BE Frightened When You See the
Flash, For the Danger Is Past.

If you see flash Of lightning, you will
not be struck by 1t. The chances are large
ly against your being Stuck by the next.
1t Is wise, however, not to make yourself
convenient means of escape for electricity
on it's way into the ground. Therefore do
not sit or stand by an open window or
door nor In any place where there Is a
strong draft. Lightning is more danger
Gus before the rain begins, for the rain
helps to carry 1t to the ground If out of
doors, do not seek shelter under q tree or
in barn.
A recent report sent out by the govern
ment states that the popular belief that
barns are struck more frequently than 9th
er buildings and arc particularly liable to
disaster when filed with hay Is correct.
The fact Is accounted for principally by
the strata of warm air which a we'll filled
barn generates. 1t may also be due to the
absence of crops in the fields, for each stalk
acts as a miniature lightning rod. An
English lecturer states that a thunder
cloud cannot cross river, but the general
disturbance may spread SO that a similar
storm Is developed on the opposite side.
This probably accounts for showers meet
ing.
Heat lightning may be the reflection Of
a distant thunderstorm or 1t may come
from storm raging high In the air. In
this latter case the reason we do not hear
thunder is that the sound loses it's inten-
sity rs it passes through the dense lower
air.
A thunderbolt or ball of fire is q real
ity, though not Of the character generally
imagined. It is not a solid ball of fire, but
merely electricity In spherical form.
Sometimes when it plows into the earth it
vitrifes the flint or sand of which the soil
is composed, and, this substance being
found, the ignorant suppose it fell from the
clouds. Eagle.

Keeps Them Guessing.
A prevailing expression Is prevalent
among expressionable people that some
time or other, bye and bye, something vii
be done In municipal matters In severa
directions, If not more. The best In.
formed authorities are very reticent In re-
gard to the subject, but those on the out
side exercise their Yankee right / OF
guessing, and no harm is done.
Volunteer Still There.
No writ OF ejectment has yet been
served on the Vets, and the old Volunteer
still stands on the floor of the building on
Cross street, where she has stood for
"quite q considerable length Of period"
Ordinances on such subjects as the neces.
stiles of the case demand are doubtless be.
ing booked into shape by the several
Council committees, and indeed Clerk
Bowen has been overheard reading one OF
more such documents by copy. But one
man knows what those are, before they
are reported or acted upon, just as well as
another, SO honors are even.
Those Wild Flowers.
The beautiful "wild flowers" that the
pencil pusher tried to tell about the other
day, still grace the table In the city clerks 9
office. "Roses" are very fine In their sea-
son, but August is little late for most Of
them that grow out of doors. Manuscript
must be very bad indeed that makes "wild
flowers" look like "roses."

Fall Rivers to Play Two Games
Changes at Lewiston.

The Fall River team captured one out OF
the series with the Pawtucket team by
defeating the Maroons yesterday at the
Bedford street grounds before nearly 1000
people. II was far from a walkover, and
the "champs" had to hustle from start to
finish. 1t was only by punching their
hits In the fifth inning and scoring four
runs. II was we'll played game, az may
be seen by the score. The visitors made
only one error and got eight hits with a
total OF ten, Waldron getting three of
them like little man. The home team
led the PawtucKets by one hit, and as
usual "Patsy" Rollins was In the lead.
Kelley and Lincoln did good work In the
box, and II was not the iatter's credit
alone that the game was won, nor to Kel'
leys that IL was lost. Such game as the
Pawtuckets are putting up now Is good
enough to please the most exacting. The
Fall Rivers will be here again tomorrow
and great game Is looked for. The score
