The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1895-10-03

This has not only been year Of
plenty all over the United States but
especially so IN East Tennessee.
Better corn was never grown and
Providence has given special bene-
diction to every crop grown. The
weather has been very dry of late but
it happily occurred in the ripening
season and has put things well out of
danger of frosts. One can go into
the woods and find a good living
there at natures hand for the next
month. Wild grapes, persimmons,
chestnuts, walnuts, chincapins, etc.
abound plentifully, and if one had a
gun he could load up on squirrel,
rabbit, opossum, etc galore. FIX.

The sick man was DIR. Harris, Of
Kansas City, who went over to Mt.
Nebo three months ago and while
there contracted trouble which will
cost him one Of his legs. He had a
habit of resting his leg across the arm
of a chair, and this from regular habit
stopped the blood's circulation, the
result being that modification, has
set in and his leg must now come off.
He was put ON the Cincinnati special

where the operation was to be per
formed. He could not raise himself
in the least upon cot and he was
carried. He is perhaps seventy years
old.

The Ex-Duluth Banker Before the
District Court.
Duluth. Oct. 3.-TO-day began the
most important part of this terms
calendar in the district court, the trial
of George n. Elder for grand larceny
in the first degree. The indictments
We're found last fall, and the cases,
four in number. have been continued
from time to time. The Indictment
upon which he is to be now tried
accuses him of embczzling the small
est amount OF the four-$5,OOO. The
Indictment alleges that on May %,
1892. while Elder was vice president
of the American Loan and Trust COM
pany and it's active managing officer,
he embezzled $1,000 of the company's
funds to his own Use and that of Thos.
Dowse. The case will probably be
hard fought, and will be quite sensa-
tional. Two other indictments charge
him with appropriating $56, 7739 of the
company funds to his own use and
that of the Security Investment COM
pany. and a fourth with embezzling
S14.SS7 from money belonging to the
city of Duluth on May 81, 1893. This
money was deposited with the COM
pany to take up certain matured bonds
Of the city. Elder is now in the city,
and has been here for some weeks
awaiting his trial.

QUEER SHAMPOO.

Joe, the Whiskbroom Boy, Got His
Instructions Rather Mixed.
In one of the hotel barber shops q
small Italian boy named Joe otticiates
with the whisk broom. The other
day, says the Buffalo Express, the
the hotel housekeeper sent down to
the proprietor Of the shop and asked
him to fix her up a bottle of sham
poo. He fixed 1t and told Joe to take
1t up to the housekeeper.
"You tell her," said the barber, ito
take half q teacup of the shampoo and
put 1t in two teacups of water and
apply"
Joe took the shampoo and went up
to the housekeeper with it. In
short time he came back, and the bar.
Der asked: "Give it to her all right?"
YES" said Joe.
"With the directionsy"
EYES," said Joe, again.
Half an hour later the barber no.
ticed the housekeeper out in the hall,
looking %curiously into the shop. He
walked out to where she was.
"Hello," she said. (which is it?
Are you drunk or crazy?"
"What do you mean?" asked the
barber, with much dignity.
"You must be one or the other, judg-
ing from the message you sent up
with that shampoo"

Natures Pottery.

One Of the most peculiar vegetable
products Of Brazil IL the Moquilea
utilis, or pottery tree. This tree at.
tains a height of 100 feet, and has .
very slender trunk, which seldom ex-
ceeds a foot in diameter at the base.
The wood is exceedingly hard and con-
tains a very large amount Of silica, but
not so much as does the bark, which
is largely employed as a source of
silica for the manufacture of pottery.
In preparing the bark for the potter's
use it is first burned, and the residue
ia then p%ulverized and mixed with clay
in the proper proportion. With an
equal quantity of the two ingredients
q superior quality of earthenware il
produced. inis is very durable. and
is capable of wlthstandlng any amount
Of heat. The natives employ 1t for all
kinds of culinary purposes. When
fresh the bark cuts like soft sandstone.
and the presence of the slick may he
readily ascertained by grinding a piece
Of the bark between the teeth. When
dry it is generally brittle, though
sometimes difficult to break. After
being burned 1t cannot, X Of good.
quaiity, be broken up between the
fingers, a mortar and pestle being re.
quired to crush it.-Public Opinion.

food for hogs Is that 1t is a grain pos
sessing more of the elements of
growth rather than fattening pro-
perties, and the people now demand
a bacon hog. The day Of large fat
hogs is over. and there is a call for
lighter and better developed pigs Of
but 200 pound weight.
We must grind the rye for our pigs
but it is not wise to feed 1t dry. 1t is
too sticky to eat with comfort, and
there iS danger of choking. 1t is
doubtful IL 1t is a wise thing to feed
any young stock on dry food. Make
a slop and have the pig take a good
''helly strctcher" ration every time,
remembering, too. he a be over fed.
Give the young pigs a fair start in
life by feeding the sow upon milk pro-
ducing rations. There is nothing
much better than skim milk mixed
with shorts. Mangolds are excellent,
having a cooling effect upon the sys-
tenn. and stimulating the milk glands.
After weaving give the pigs q trough
Of their own.
The farmers who take pride In their
work, and read. study and systematic
are the class who will win. The poet
ry of farming las settled down to a
more beautiful prose. The genii Of old
which accomplished so much in a sim
gle day have become materialized, and
they take the form Of a sulky plow.

Cottonseea Feeding.

The Texas experiment station has
reached the following conclusions rela-
tive to experiments on the effect Of
cottonseed feeding:
/. Cottonseed increases and main
tains the milk flow.
2. 1t maintains the per cent Of fat in
milk.
3. 1t enables churning to be done at
higher temperature, thus largely TAX
ing the place Of ice.
4. Renders the butter harder to COL
or. salt evenly and print satisfactorily.
5. 1t gives the butter a more greasy
appearance, a stiffy, waxy consistence
and a fiat and somewhat tallowy taste.
6. These defects, however, are not
marked, and have been highly cxag-
gerated by many, and since cottonseed
and its products are so cheap and val
liable as food for dairy cattle it is poor
economy not to use it more freely.
These seem wise conclusions, and
using judgment always in the amount
fed not to injure the dairy product, it
| should be worked into the ration as
much as the traffic will BEAR" or as
the COW will assimilate to the best ad-
vantage and protit.-Dairy World.

Meat for Hens.

From 10Y on, the supply Of insects
will begin to grow smaller, until there
will be none left accessible to the poul-
try. During the summer months and
until frost comes. the insects that are
picked up by fowls that have that
liberty, serve as a meat ration to a
large extent, and it is not necessary
as u part of their ration as 1t Is, dur
ing the cold months. 1t has been es-
tablishcd beyond doubt that meat must
be fed to hens, If they are expected
to do their best. and there is no grain
that will fully ill its place. An egg is
largely albumen and lean meat con-
tains a large percentage OF this and
ii 1t Is fed regularly to a flock Of hens,
and they are made otherwise comfor-
table. they will lay in winter better
than they will if fed OH any other food.
We have reason to believe that a flock
of hens fed on a heterogeneous diet, such
as lean meat, wheat. and other nom
fattening foods will lay we'll even
when very fat and we believe this is
because she is we'll supplied with the
sort of food that is rich in the ele-
ments that enter into the composition
of eggs. Corn may be used as a part
Of the ration, but meat is the food that
will show its effects in the egg has

FOLDING BEDS.
Few Made Nowadays. but the Iron
Bed Ii Popular.

Few Made NOwaLays. but the Iron
bed ls Popular.
The folding bed. once an immensely
popular institution. Is losing Its grip,
says a dispatch from Grand Rapids,
Mich. Not one is called for now where
two or three years ago n dozen were
ordered. Two big factories here, which
three years ago had difficulty in keep
ing up with orders for folding beds,
ever by working night and day, are
nov making other lines of furniture
in addition to folding beds, and the
folding bed production in all factories
is steadily declining. In their earlier
days folding beds were made for the
houses Of wealthy people, and were
often of mahogany and other expen-
sive materials. and cost all the way
from $3.50 to 500. Later, hotels and
boarding houses were equipped with
them, and they gained great popu-
larity for apartments and flats where
space Is small. But they have gone
out of favor.
The accidents which frequently oc-
cured with the folding bed doubtless
had some bad influence on it's popu-
larity, but this was not the only dis
advantage the multum in parvo furni-
ture had to contend with. The beds
are heavy. clumsy affairs. Even un-
der the most favorable conditions
many are hard to handle without a
derrick or a yoke Of oxen, and they
are also hard to keep clean.
Another interesting fact manifested
at the recent furniture season opening
in this city is the increased call for
beds of brass and iron. Such beds are
practically the only kind sold in Eng
land, and they have steadily increased
in popularity in this country during
the last five years. The demand for
metal beds has not yet progressed far
enough to make serious inroads upon
the market for wooden beds, but fur
niture men are looking forward to the
time when wooden beds will be SUPER
seeded. Metal beds have the advantage
Of being easy to handle. easy to keep
clean, not easily married, and lend
themselves readily to dressing up to
present a different appearance when.
ever q change may be desirable. The
furniture manufacturers, recognizing
the tendency Of the times, are offering
many new patterns in special bureaus
and dressers to match with metal beds.

Marked Cent Reappears.

Ross Gillespie. a well known silver
smith, was displaying with great
pride an ordinary copper cent, one of
the cartwheel variety, to his friends
last night, says the Philadelphia Rec
ord. The coin bore the date of 1861,
the year Mr.. Gillespie began his ap-
premiership. On the reverse side was
stamped q wreath, in the center of
which were Mr.. Gillespie's initials,
'R. a. G." The design was placed
upon the coin thirty-four years ago
by the then young man, who turned
it loose in the world of commerce with
a remark to his friends that he ex-
pected some day to see it come back
to him again. Like the bad penny it
was, it did turn up, but in a rather
unexpected manner Passing up Tenth
street one day Mr.. Gillespie paused to
look at the display in the show WIN
dow of a numismatist. One moldy
looking copper cent attracted his at
tention and q close inspection re-
vealed the coin that had been marked
by him years ago. 1t took % cents to

Fall Sowing for summer Feed.

Fail Sowing for Summer Feed.
Pastures have been very fair for
this season in many localities, while
in others they were and are still short.
Where dairying is carried on to any
considerable extent, urofits are almost
wanting If %succulent feed cannot be
supplied during the entire spring and
summer. This emphasizes the neces-
sity of providing a succession of soil
ing crops. Sow rye in autumn. This
can be cut and fed in the spring If
pastures are backward. AS early as
possible SOW oats OF a mixture of
oats and field peas, which will take
the place of the rye. This will supply
green feed until early corn is far
enough along to do for soiling. Clio
yer ONE in early and can also be
used to supplement pastures. Any
time from the middle of June until the
middle of August rape n be seeded.
This crop has been tried extensively In
the northern states and Canada, and
is most promising. 1t may be sowed
where the rye used earlier in the sea-
son was grown. BY the above prac-
tice a very simple succession is obtain
ed and one which any farmer can sue

rrotectins strawberrie..

a correspondent writes us that a
good protector for strawberry plants
is an earthen saucer a foot in dame
ter, with n hole in the center for the
plant to grow through. The advan-
tage claimed for its use are as fol-
lows: A much larger crop a be raisA
ed and the berries will be much finer,
clean and free from dust or dirt Of
any kind. 1t acts as a mulch to. keep
the soil from drying out, and the rain
that falls, soaks into the soil directly
aboat the roots of the plants. 1t saves
time in %cultivating because no weeds
can grow next to the plants, and the
berries are easier to pick. If the sau-
GERS are inverted over the plants In
the winter they act as a protection to
them.
We see nothing against this sau-
Ger, and should think that they would
be a very good thing for the purpose.
