Cut "a 3,OOO-MiIe Swath.

After eighteen years continuous SER
vice with a railway company pas
senger conductor of Chicago has been
'let out" The circumstances leading
up to his discharge by the company
are of a kind calculated to arouse the
wrath of railway employees, although
the ex-conductor himself accepts the
dismissal good-naturedly. He was
not the one," rs the comic song has 1t.
Not long ago a tall, emaciated man
travelled from New York almost to
San Francisco without paying fare.
He introduced himself to the conduc-
tor running west from New York as
an ex-conductor, and said he had very
little money, but that he hoped to get
to California, where he believed his
life could be prolonged.
He said he was suffering from con-
sumption, and his appearance bore out
the story. He showed a knowledge OF
railway business and the conductor
believed the story. He was dead
headed" to the end OF the first run,
and the first conductor was good
enough to fix it, with the conductor
who came to take his place. He reach
ed Chicago and proceeded westward
on one of the well-known lines. The
Chicago conductor had been informed
of the facts in the case and consent
ed to carry the sick man even though
it was a violation of the rules.
Within two weeks after he had been
so obliging he received his peremptory
discharge. Upon investigation he learn
ed that every conductor who out OF
the goodness of his heart, helped along
roi
been discharged. The consumptiye
was "spotter."
1t is said that in his entire journey
from New York to San Francisco only
one conductor remained unaffected by
his piteous story. This was the con-
ductor on the last run, ending at San
Francisco and he alone retains job.

The sun beat hotly upon the parch-
ed earth.
"Oh, see," he exclaimed, joyously,
trying to hit the woman with the bat,
"Oh, dear, why doesn't she run the
other way? Are those women out yon-
der the bases? How stupid in me!
You told me that before, didn't you?
Is our side going out without run?
Isn't that lovely, after the other side
had to run so much?"
Thus the pretty young man with the
blue veil prattled on and on, SEEM
ingly oblivious that the tall lady in
the checked suit sat silent and pre-
occupied beside him.-Detroit Tribune.

FOUND FER CUT AT LAST.
When Nrs. as Cat Was LIT out OF tis
Big II Did Somr Scratching.

when Nrs. B.'s Cat Was LIT out OF 81 q
Big IL Did Some scratching.
Mrs. B. was summoned to the door
one morning by an cld-clothes man,
but she resolutely told him that she
had nothing for him, until he took
out an old chamois-skin purse, and
opening it said:
'Lcok, lady, | gif you gold for any
old tings what you got to sell"
That was too much temptation, and
soon she had the contents of her ward
robe spread out for his inspection. Her
heart misgave her, though, for her
. husband had positively forbidden her
ever to sell any of her old clothes. She
only hoped he would never find out,
and with the money she could buy
such fine new ones.
There was one gown that she did
hesitate to part with 1t was flower
ed teagown with big bow at the sidei
and long sash ends Of gorgeous rib
bon, and Mr.. b. particularly liked that
dress because she had served after
noon tea in 1t for him often during
their engagement. However, the man
offered a good price for it, and it went
with the rest.
When Mr.. b. came home in the
evening his wife had a guilty look as
II something lay on her conscience.
But she ascrbed it to a headache, and
the old-clothes deal remained a pro-
found secret.
A week or two later Mrs. b. asked
her husband to do the marketing. She
usually attended to this herself, but
was going to have company and could
not spare the time.
Mr.. b. accordingly took the market
basket on his arm and went from stall
to stall purchasing supplies, when sud-
denly he saw his wife standing near
him haggling over some vegetables.
Great Scottw he said under his
breath; "and in that tea gown, too. I
wonder what next?"
He stepped up to her and gave her
a vigorous rap on the back.
The next moment he saw moons
and stars. Whackl whack! whack!
came the blows from a cast-iron fist,
and a shrill voice screamed in his ear:
You impudent wretch. I'll teach you
you to know a lady when you see one!
Take that, and that. and that!'
He escaped with his life and hurried
home for repairs. The cat was out Of
the bag, and 1t had scratched him Sc
verely. but never, never again will
Mrs. B. sell any Of her old clothes

Only the surface of the earth Is cul-
tivated and used for growing crops,
and the food of plants Is derived ac-
cording to the depth 10 which the plow
reaches. Nevertheless, there is un-
told wealth beneath the surface, and
which is just as valuable as that near
er the top. If it could be reached and
made available for crops. The vast
stores Of mineral matter in the lower,
or sub-soil, portions are insoluble, but
are capable of being rendered avail
able If not too far down in the earth.
III the farmer can bring some of this
mineral matter 10 the surface he will,
of course, really add nothing to his
land, but he will draw on a deposit
which Is remaining idle, and which
should be put to some use, instead of
remaining dormant. The plow cannot
reach 1t, nor can he remove the top
soil and grow his crops in the next
layer The wealth beneath his feet Is
as great as that in the mines, and
must be reached in some manner or
1t will avail him nothing. Yet it Is
not difficult to secure a large portion
of it If he will use the proper agents
of nature for so doing.
gen, phosphoric acid and potash-the
first is mostly derived from the air,
though it exists in the soil also, but
the phosphoric acid and potash, being
inorganic substances, must come from
the soil. When crop Of clover Is
grown on the land the roots extend to
a great depth, exert a chemical effect
down in the sub-soil and store mineral
ftar. in 10 to hn MI d.,
mostly derived from the air, either in
the form Of ammonia or nitric acid, or
by the use Of the free nitrogen of the
atmosphere, but the mineral matter
comes from below. That the clover
plant, though highly nitrogenous, does
not derive but a portion Of its nitro
gen from the soil, has been Demon
strated by the fact that applications of
nitrogenous fertilizers exert but little
influence upon such a crop, while min
eral fertilizers rapidly promote its
growth. The conclusion is reached,
therefore, that If mineral matter Is
lacking in the upper soil, the roots OF
the plants, which penetrate TO a great
depth, bring it up from below, and
deposit it in the plants. When a crop
is plowed under this mineral matter
is transferred to the surface.
IL is in the storage OF nitrogen to
the land that clover is so valuable,
however, and an application OF min
eral fertilizers enables 1t to appropri-
ate larger proportion of nitrogen by
Increasing the weight of the stalks
and leaves. But when 1t is consider
ed that clover works from the air and
from below the surface its value as a
renovator OF the soil cannot we'll be
estimated, unless the capacity of the
soil itself is understood Clover is
not alone source for Obtaining such
results, as nearly all plants can be of
service to some eXteat, but clover is
considered superior 10 all others. The
farmer, while buying fertilizers and
applying manures, should also use the
natural agents at his command for
drawing upon the air and the lower
store houses down below the Sell and
thus add fertility to his farm and in
crease his profits.

THE DAIRY.

A balanced ration is one in which
the different necessary elements of
food are equally present. Properly II
is made up of FIVE pounds of starch
and one of protein. The former Is
best found In bright corn fodder and
good clover hay, and the protein in
bran and oil meal, though it is OBJ
tained in oats, peas, cottCnseed meal
and the like
When men who have spent their
years in investigation confess that
milk is to-day a great mystery TO
them. what must 1t be to the man who
has never given 1t an hours study or
reading in his life? There are many
little secrets being ferreted out Of
which the world is contemptuous, and
1t is these little things that it will pay
to read about and acquire.
II COW has a pedigree. no matter
what her worth as a dairy COW, the
usual plan is to raise calves for the
purpose OF keeping up the numbers Of
the breed without any regard to ex-
celence. but the whole matter of breed
ing should be governed by the excel
lence OF the parents. and the pedigree
used only to keep track of the family.
Fodder can be as truly wasted when
put in the stomach as when trodden
under foot. Unhoused cattle have a
continuous battle for comfort. and all
their stuffing Of food shows no re-
suit, for the reason that II Is used
wholly In keeping life. Moreover,
they are stunted by their stay at this
unthrifty stage, and will never show
as good results afterward.

How to Cook Green Corn.

Although our seas IN of green corn has
passed bear the following in mind when
corn again comes into market. A physi-
clans advice on cooking corn is:
Corn. like green peas, loses its sweetness
iflo1g separated from the pant, so it should
be cooked while fresh; if possible the same
day it is pulled. Plunge it into boiling
water and keep closely covered for twenty
minutes. Then lift it into a vessel with
suffi cient water in it to cover the ears, and
cover again. From this water, which should
be ofsuch temperature as to bring the corn
to that heat pleasing to the teeth, the ears
are lifted only as needed by the individual
eaters. This treatment preserves its juice
an aroma. The other good way is to crate
and scrape out the hearts of dozen ears.
Beat in tablespoonful of four, teaspoon
full each of salt and sugar, AMI lastly a
quart of milk. Turn into a buttered bread
pan or pudding dish, and bake slowly for
one hour. Sir from the bottom once or
twice at first. Brown the top Ind serve from
the pudding pam
