footed companions that help was COM
ing, as he soon returned and for the rest
of the way went along very quietly in adj
vance of the two men.
When the men reached the scene OF
the trouble they found that Betsy and
her calf had somehow got into bog Or
quagmire and were unable to extricare
themselves. The supposition was that
the inexperienced calf had strayed into
the bog and Betsy, while trying to help
him out, had become involved. A rope
was needed to help the creatures to
hard ground, and in order to bring it as
soon as possible the farmer mounted on
Jacks bare back and without bride or
halter rode to the farmhouse to procure
it. Jack was a high-spirited animal
and when under the saddle used to
prance and show off, but on this occa-
sion he realized that it was no time for
play and went along as demurely as
possible. In due time Betsy and her
calf were eXtricated from their trouble,
and the farmer says that their equine
friend danced e jig for joy.-Thomas

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

The well ought to be cleaned out oc-
casionally. There are wells that are
never cleaned.
For the benefit of our farmers we
should have universal free delivery of
mail and Il postal currency.
Alfalfa is one of the best crops
grown, where it will grow. But in our
northern climate we should go slow on
alfalfa.
Never kill dog that bites a human
being or beast, on the supposition that
it is mad, unless there are unmistak-
able evidences of its being mad, for by
letting it live couple of days, it's condi-
ton can be made certain. Shut it up
and see what develops.
One of the most effective means of
fighting the Hessian fly is to burn, soon
after the harvest, the stubble in which
the larva, in it's so-called fiaX-seed stage,
is hidden, and remains during the win
ter waiting for the spring, to leave its
protecting case and ravage the Young
wheat.
In regard to the value of the winter
mulching of wheat with straw, corn
stalks or other substances the Iowa ex-
pertinent station aptly says; There is
no better mulch than dense growth of
wheat blades, which can be produced by
sowing moderately early, on good
ground, and giving one or two cultiva-
tions with light harrow as soon as up"

Vermont Farm Horse Who Was Guard.
ian of a Calf.
On farm in Vermont there are two
horses and herd of half dozen cows
The animals run together in the pas
ture and are on the most friendly terms.
One horse named Jack has a special af-
lection for Betsy, a brindled cow, and
the two almost always Craze together.
Last spring Betsy had a calf at her side,
and Jack seemed to regard the youngster
as his own special care. Hitherto Jack
had been very demure and dignified
horse, but the sportive tendencies of the
calf developed a frisky mood on the part
of the horse. Jack and the calf used to
romp and play together good part of
the time, the former being very careful
not to injure his young companion. FIRE.
quently Jack jumped over the back of
the calf and then allowed himself to be
chased by the little fellow, from whom
he fled as though alarmed for his safety.
One day when the herd was in a Gis-
tant part of the pasture Jack suddenly
appeared at the farmhouse neighing

that he wanted human assistance. He
would gallop furiously short distance
in the direction of the pasture, then
wheel suddenly and gallop back to the
house, throwing his head high in the
air and neighing with all his might
The farmer called one of his men aud
the twain started in the direction indi-
Gated by the horse. When Jack saw that
his meaning was understood he capered
around with delight, rubbed his nose
against his masters cheek and then
went off at full gallop in the direction

POULTRY FOR MARKET.


Some Valuable Hints for Dealers as Well
as Farmers.
There is class interested in poultry
that buys from farmers, and after
dressing the poultry the carcasses are
shipped to market. 1t is a very prof
table business, and such dealers are
useful in community, being always
ready to accept any of the surplus
stock offered and save time and labor
for the farmers, as they dress and ship
hundreds of carcasses at once, while
some farmers, in order to secure few
cents more per pound, do not take into
consideration the labor they bestow In
preparing but a few fowls for shipment.
A greater profit can be made in buying
poultry, however, if those engaged in
such business will fatten the fowls be.
fore killing. Instead of buying to-day
and selling tomorrow, there should be
clean quarters, with small yards at
tached, having feed and water troughs
and the birds fed on fattening foods,
SO as to increase the weight and secure
a larger price per pound. In ten days
or two weeks the birds will be ready
for market if they are given all the
food they will eat during that time.
BY allowing time for increasing weight
it becomes an advantage to buy poor
birds if they are in good condition, az
the first cost is less and greater pro-
portionate weight can be added. Only
the frame and bony structure are suf-
ficient. The food will then increase
the weight and the quality will be SUI
perior, as birds that are fattened in
short period of time are tender and
juicy. Such plan would rid the mar
ket of much of the inferior poultry that
is usually forwarded, and as the cost
OF producing one pound of poultry
should not exceed five cents the adop-
ton of the method would furnish the
markets with better stock and largely
add to the profits of the business

Yankee PeddIer's Clever Ruse.

A Vermont paper recalls the story
of man who started out in the eastern
states, just after the war, to sell oil
cloth table covers for so cents apiece.
After tramping all day without SELL
ing one, happy thought struck him,
and next day he offered them for one
dollar, taking half his pay in old shoes.
The result was magical. People i'm
agined they were getting something
for nothing. There was a general ram
sacking of closets and attics, and the
table covers went like hot cakes. Then
the peddler chuckled to himself and
threw the old shoes into the first hole
he came to.

Stranger in a Strange Land.

An army surgeon, stationed with his
regiment on the Mexican frontier, was
very popular, and his Mexican friends
one evening gave a grand ball in his
honor. The ball began early, as Mexi-
can balls do, and the surgeon danced in
the first set. He danced in nearly every
set, in fact, and after few hours be-
came tired. But the dancing went on.
and the doctor danced until he was COM
pletely worn out. Finally, in despera-
ton, he drew one of the men aside, and
asked If the ball was ever going to end.

taken to police headquarters by kind
hearted policeman. At police-head-
quarters Scratch made friends with eX-
Superintendent yrnes, who took great
fancy to the skeleton cat and made
sleek puss out of her. And then Scratch
went back to her Mulberry street home
and began to exhibit her bones again.
In one way and another Scratch got
rid of her eight remaining lives, and
then came to an untimely end in Il
Chatham Square fire. Everybody was
talking about Scratch for a week after
she was burned to death, for she was
true hero. An Italian baby was in the
flaming building and Scratch sat on the
window ledge and walled to the firemen
below. When they finally paid atten-
ton to the cat she leaped back into the
burning room, followed by n fire.

Another noted feline, whose master
WAS among the obscure of earth, was
Felice, whose extreme fondness for fish
led her to commit burglary and theft.
Feiice had her home i'm a cheap res

duties were to keep the eating place
free of four-footed vermin. Felice's
master was a Frenchman, and he was
the keeper of the restaurant. One day
Felice wandered over to Fifth avenue,
und made her way through a back door
into very swell mansion. Inside the
palatial house Felice crept upstairs and
cnsconeel herself snugly in fine bed
of beautiful lace and linen, after the
fashion of Carney. After a quiet nap
Telice made an inspection of her quar-
tiers and thought them better than the
grimy kitchen of the Sixth avenue shop.
Then she espied bowl in which
swan half a dozen gold fish placid in
their luxury. Felice knew fish when
ehe saw it, and promptly ate two of the
shiny, inny creatures. Her eagerness
caused her to upset the globe, and then
chaos reigned in the mansion. Serv-
ants chased Felice, and the latter es-
capped unframed and died of old age

or ground floor. Pieces of rope or wire
are securely fastened about the box at
a a, about two feet from either end.
AT the point it is desired to elevate it,
two pulIeys are secured to the joists,
also two other pulleys at some con-
venient point along the side OF the
driveway. Through these two, pieces
of rope % b. are passed, they being
for convenience provided with hook
at one end to attach them to the circles
of rope surrounding the box. 1t is
plain that if a weight greater than the
box is applied to the rope, the box will
be elevated. When at the desired point,
the loose ends of the ropes are secured
about the pins, at C C. By elevating
one end of the box at time, one man
can handle it with ease. The best plan
is to drive the wagon under the pulleys
for unloading or replacing, as required.
By removing the wheels and using a
stronger rope, the whole may be raised
up out of the way. Sleds, hayrack and
similar tools may be stored away in
the same manner. This operation may
be made easier by substituting block
pulley where the hook is attached and
also above. With rope properly ar
ranged, one man can raise several times
his own weight, simply requiring a
greater length of rope.-Orange Judd

THE DEATHS-HEAD MOTH
When 1t Attempts to Steal Honey 10
Usually Loses Its Life.

When 1t Attempts to Steal Honey 10
Usually Loses Its Life.
There is a large moth, commonly
known as the death's-head moth, from
its having a curious mark on its back
like a skull and cross-bones scuiptured
on an old tombstone, which makes
very free with the bees honey. 1t flies
in the dusk of the evening when the
bees are at rest, and enters the hole in
the hive, pokes its long sucker through
the wax walls which surround the
comb, and draws much honey to it's
stomach. Very often in the long even
ing there are many lees lingering
round about the hive, but if the DEATHS
head alights and moves towards the
door, they do not take much notice;
yet one sting would kill it, and it has
no means of hurting the bee in return.
SO much troubled are some hives by
these curious visitors that the bees
erect a fiat wall of wax juht within the
hive door, allowing a small opening to
exist on either hand. This, as a rule,
puzzles the moth, and it cannot enter.
On the other hand, if a moth gets right
into the hive the bees do not kill it,
but either let it alone or use all their
ingenuity to stop It's honey stealing
propensities. Whilst the moth is en-
ioying the meal, the bees occasionally
pull down some of the honeycomb be-
hind it, and mold the wax quickly so
as to form a dense wall. When the
moth has finished its meal, and turns
to get out of the hive, it finds itself
walled up and imprisoned for life

How Sleigh Bells Are Made.

1t is mystery to many how the iron
ball inside of sleigh bells gets there.
In making sleigh bells the iron ball is
put inside a sand core, just the shape
of the inside of the bell. Then a mold
is made exactly the shape of the outside
of the bell. The sand core, with the
iinglet inside, is placed in the mold of
the outside, and the melted metal is
poured in, which fills the space be-
tween the core and the mold.

WOMAN'S WIT.
Told by a Society Girl
Something About Morphine, Sulphur, Mo-
lasses and Other Things.


From the Ercntn0 NelcS, NeDdrk, N. j.
Among the popular society leaders in
East Orange, N. j., Emma L. Stoll, charm
ing young maiden, stands in the foremost
rank. She is of lovable disposition and
the light of the social set in which she
moves. For two years she has been a sicl.
girl from internal troubles peculiar to wom-
en-, and having recently recovered, has
given our reporter the folio wing interesting
account:
"Instead Of improving under the care Of
my physician l became worse. For five
weeks | was unable to get out of bed and
about six o'clock each morning | suffered
horribly. My lips were sore and lacerated
from the marks Of my teeth, for in my eff
forts to keep from screaming l sunk my
teeth deep into my lips. At such times
rolled and tossed until the bed shook like
an aspen leaf and it finally got so serious
that the DOCTOR won't tell you his name
gave me some morphine pills to take. The
very thought of them now makes me SILVER.
These morphine pills simply put me to sleep
for awhile and when / became conscious
again my agony was renewed.
1.-The pain in my stomach and back was
more than l could stand. Your blood is
poor said the doctor, take sulphur and mo.
lasses, and did until twas great wonder
that was not molas ses cake. 1t was time
wasted in taking it because was not bene-
fitted in the least; my suffering continued,
but by mighty EFFORT after being in bed so
long, got up. Oh, but | was a sad sight
then From J IL pounds, had fallen to
ninety, any cheeks were pale and sunken
and limped; yes, actually hobbled from the
extreme pain in my side. Then read of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
and the testimonial in the NeuS inspired me
with hope. l got the pills and took them.
Before many days began to improve ard
before had finished one box | felt as if
stopped limping and through the Pink Pills
l soon bid goodbye to my headaches while
the pain in my stomach and back slowly
these pills that seem to be able to persuade
az pain to leave ones body. Now am as
l used to be; well and strong, light-hearted
and merry but never without the pills. See
l have got some OF them now" and from
a nearby desk she handed out one of the
boxes.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills contain, ia a con-
densed form, all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves. They are also a
specific for troubles peculiar to females,
such as suppressions, irregularities and all
forms of weakness. They build up the
blood, and restore the glow health to pale
and sallow cheeks. In men they effect
radical cure in all cases arising from mental
worry, overwork or excuses Of whatever
nature. Pink Pills are sold in boxes never
in loose bulk at 80 cents box or six boxes
for $3.50, and may be had of all druggists,
or direct by mail from DR.. Williams Med
