Incident in the Life of Veteran,

Incident In the Life OF Setera4
Snowman.
The death of Col. w. G. Coup, the
veteran Snowman, was noted recently.
Willie in his bed at the Carleton Hotel,
jacksonville Fla, last week, the old
~howman told correspondent how
happened to lose so heavily in the
AQUARIUM venture in New York City,
i'll 1870.
He and Henry Reichc, the foreign
animal dealer were partners in the
concern. and each had more than$ 3OO,-
600 cash tied up in it. For the first
few months of the Aquarium was a
big success. Then the subject of open1
ing on Sunday led to bitter fight
against it by the clergy of New York.
Reiche wanted to keep it open ami
Coup opposed it. They could not agree
SO Coup suggested that they dissolve
partnership. But this was no easy
natter and finally Coup said:
Lets flip up a penny; the winner
gets the whole layout; the loser gets
OUT
1t was agreed. All Coup's money
was in this thing, and Reiche didn't
have II dollar outside of it. The throw
of a penny meant poverty to one and
big load to carry for the other.
Coup took the penny from his pock-
ct and told Reiche to call it while iHs
the mir. Then Coup tossed it.
Rciche called "heads."
The copper fell to the floor and spun
around for few moments, while both
men stopped eagerly over 1t. They
were the only witnesses. Finally the
penny began settling with the "tails,"
side underneath, and Coup saw that
he had lost.
81 didn't wait for the copper to STOP
said the old man, "but told Reiche ne
had won fairly. Then I picked up the
penny and got out as per agreemeu(,1

The thistle had settled so firmly in the
stack that the cattle could only pull
out Il mouthful at time, so they vast

loose in the yards, going into the sheds

but have kept in good condition and

there has not been 200 pounds Of the
thistle wasted during the winter. l
think may have fed about tons of
| hay besides the stack of thistles.
10 sum up my idea of the Course of
our state it is about like this. Fire
and water are excellent servants, but
hard masters, SO also is the Russian
thistle. few years ago the buffalos
were running wild over these broad
prairics, but their value was not fully
known until they were ruthlessly eX-
terminated. SO also now is the Russian
thistle running wild and choalsing out
our fields of grain, and nearly all vegc-
tation, and when it does not go fast
enough to suit some farmer. he takes
his drag or his pitchfork and starts it
along and virtually says, ssmultiply and
replenish the carth," whereas he
should takc the mower, horsc-ralse and
hayrack and gather it into his barns,
or stack 1t to be fed to his stock
through the long winter months.
Our wild upland hay is for growing
stock. second to none that grows, but
the thistle. if properly cut, cured and
stacked, is in my opinion worth at

Feeding Wheat.
Foster g. Thompson, Huron, S. d.,
write us:
''As SO many are interested in the
feeding of wheat, we will give some
of our experience. We sold the best
of our thorough bred Poland Chinas to
our customers for breeding purposes
and fed nine of the "culls" remaining
until they were nearly ten months old
and sold them, at which time the nine
weighed 5000 pounds, or an average of
$685. pounds each. Some of them were
from very young sows ano were smaller
than the others, while two or three
weighed about 400 pounds each. They
had no milk or corn and no special care,
and during three weeks of the worst
weather their house was SO cold that
they made but little growth if any.
We fed fine ground soft wheat twice a
day and then let them run in large
lot. When not too cold we soaked
meal twelve hours.
We have had good luck disposing of
Shorthorn bulls. but have few left
that will be in good shape for service
any time now and they are nice ones
too, all red and hardy. Our young
calves ny Kentucky bull are indeed
things OF beauty.
