A CLOSE BUYER.
How Mr.. Putterby Got Change for Hal
a Cents Worth of Pumpkin.

How Mr.. Putterby Got Change for Half
Cents Worth of Pumpkin.
"Mr. Putterby. my old-time neighbor
of forty years ago, was what we call
in the country close fsted,'' said the
man from the rural districts. He
could drive the closest bargain of any
n | EVER met, and could keep house
with the least buying. One of our
coins in those days was the old silver
twelve-and-a-half-cent piece, v%ariously
called 'ninepence,' York shilling and
bit, according to the part Of the coun-
try you were in, and it was the exist
ence of this coin that enabled him to
make a browning triumph in the way
of a close trade.
"a farm boy came along one day
with a load of pumpkins which he was
peddling about the village at a cent
apiece. Mr.. Pntterby, after examin-
ing them, thought he would invest,
but half a pumpkin was all that he
cared to buy.
but a whole pumpkin is only a
cent said the boy. How are you 60
ing to pay me for half a one?
1.-The easiest thing in the world
said Mr.. Putterby, and SO a pumpkin
was cut and he took one of the halves
under his arm, and handed the boy a
shilling. Now give me the twelve
cents change;' and taking the twelve
coppers from the astonished boy he
walked away with his purchase."-N.
Y. Sun.
The Opelousas courier., 1895-03-16

hardness Of the bargain | was driving
with him, and swearing at his luck
generally. Then, being perhaps en-
boldened by the conciliatory manner |
thought it prudent to adopt, he tried
to make better terms, offering me first
five hundred pounds less, and finally
insisting that he ought at least to be
allowed to deduct from my two thou
sand pounds the sum 1 had used to pay
| the men.
Mr.. Bland had allowed me a quarter
of an hour for negotiations. At the
end of that time he proposed to make a
raid upon the house.
"And mind" he haA said in his joe
ular way, 1--WE don'vaind the property
still in your hands, Mr.. Corner. 1t
would be a pretty kettle of fish if we
had to prosecute you for unlawful pos
session, wouldn't it?'
In accordance with these instruc-
tons I haggled with Mr.. Hurst a little
while and then allowed him to have
his way, whereupon he, having salts
fed himself that the bag which | re-
stored to him still contained his spoils,
handed me nineteen hundred pounds
sterling in what afterwards turned out
to be very creditable limitations Of
Bank of England notes.
II suppose you don't want no reg
ceipt?" he growled.
No, thank you," said l, II think we
may mutually dispense with that for
malitv. Good mOrninp-
l turned to leave the room as / spoke,
but before I could unlock the door it
was burst open from the outside, not,
unfortunately for me, by the police,
but by the man whom the landlord had
called Bill, a powerful r%uffian, who
promptly knocked me down and knelt
upon my chest.
"Quick, Ben, get out of this" he
cried. Its a plant. No, no. The
window, you fool" he added, as Mr..
Hurst, bag in hand, made for the door.
THE police are in the bar already"
AS Mr.. Hurst opened the window he
cursed me with much volubility and
bitterness, and as oon as he was out
side OF the leads he did worse.
koCdIlu CitdI. Dill, lC Cileu. anu lis
friend obeyed him. I scrambled to my
feet, but Immediately dropped again
with a bullet from Mr.. Hurst's revolver
in my shoulder.
am not at all sorry that Mr.. Hurst
fred at me, as Inspector Bland says it
was much easier to convict him of at
tempted murder than to prove he actu-
ally stole those jewels, and the in
spector doubts, too, whether he would
have got fifteen years if merely charged
with receiving them. But | do wish he
hadn't hit me.
+. However, even the pain my wo'lnd
still gives me is not without its COM
p%ensation. 1t prevents me from feel.
ing any twinges Of conscience when I
reflect hat my furniture cost Mr.. Hurst
his liberty, for Lord Wv took it
for granted that he was the thief, and
paid me the extra reward he had Of
fered for his apprehension.
Inspector Bland won the promotion
he coveted, and is now stationed at
Lington. His wedding present was
characteristic. 1t was a black bag,
with my initials on either side in white
letters about six inches long.-All the

DIAGRAM OF sUBIRRIGATED FIELD.

is best to bring the water into it by a
supply ditch on the highest part, as
shown at a in the sketch, and conduct
it by a series of dams or drops b, b b b
b, to the lowest part of the field.
Then run bitches C c from above each
drop nearly along a contour Or equal
level line of the field, dyking these
bitches up to keep the water above &C.
cidental high places. These bitches
should be permanent. They should be
near together at the top of the field,
the intervals widening as they ear the
lower edge, as the seepage from the
upper bitches will necessarily make
the ground more and more moist to-
ward the lower edge of the field. The
field should be made as long as possible
along the course of these bitches, and
the bitches should be made as near
parallel as the ground will permit, so
as to obtain as large and regular an
area between bitches as possible.
Whenever it is necessary to flood
growing crops an opening a be made
in these permanent bitches at points
where the grade line of the ditch in
tersects a slight knoll. This will pre-
vent washing of dykes and the con-
sequent digging up of crops to repair
these brea ks. From these openings
the water should be conducted in zig
gag courses, in burrows prepared at the
time of seeding, thus preventing wash
ing, and keeping the water as much as
possible away from the crowns of
plants until it soaks into the soil. A
headgate d should be placed at the
source of each of these field laterals,
and then it is possible for the farmer
to SO regulate the supply in each part
of the field that a sufficient supply
may be at the roots Of every plant,
and very little OF no water going to
waste at the ends of the field ~laterals.
BY this method a comparatively small
quantity Of water can be made to up
ply a large urea. The system is
simple, and can be applied in many
sections not equipped with regular
irrigating works. A modification of it
can " be adopted on the plains Of
the central west under windmill irri-
.gation.-J. r. Patterson, in Orange

The Weight of Hav.

The Country Gentleman says in reply
to a correspondent who asks how to
measure a haylnow to find the number
Of tons of hay: Compact timothy hay
requires about 500 cubic feet to weigh
a ton considerably more, perhaps 700.
as it is brought from the field), but the
quantity will vary with the pressure
caused by the height of the now, and
with the age of the grass when cut,
ripe and stiff grass yielding less under
pressure, and requiring more in bulk
weigh a ton. Stiff, coarse hay will
be found to weigh less than fine and
flexible hay, which will pack solid.
The quantity we have stated is a fair
average for well-settled hay.

Stub Ends of Thought.

Duty undone is done the worst.
About the time a boy begins to find
out there isn't any Santa Claus he be-
gins to find out there is a Cupid.
When two hearts beat as one they
hit hard.
Two souls with but a single thought
feel the need of more before they are
through with each other.
Sweet are the uses of adversely, per-
haps, but it becomes awearying sweet
ness after long continuance.
The real beauty Of a woman never
fades.
A man may show himself to be a
greater hero by carrying coal to the
kitchen stove than by carrying a gun
to the music of a band.
A doctors bill seldom reminds us of
the comfort he brought when we
needed him.
The one man a man always has a
feeling OF sympathy for is his wifeis

WHEN BABY WANTS TO PLAY.

On Sunday afternoon I like a quiet, restful
And lounging on an easy couch give Time de-
~ .xfant slap:
Forgetting all my Office cares and troubles
OF the shop
Into the haven Of the weary, coy dreamland,
. drop.
y But that I never quite succeed I scarcely
eas~.sss=~need to say. - ~
For tits about the time and hour when baby
= . 1 wants to play.
Just when my eyes are closed and sweet for
getfulness comes DER.
"A tiny fodder spies papa with eager infant
roar;
IDA. da, gooh. gooh." his chubby face aglow
with his delight,
He knows he'll have q jolly time with pop,
unlucky wight.
1hear his joyful shout and know at once I
must obey.
Forsure there's nothing else to do when baby
wants to play.
He's tugging at my clothes and frets until I

Wherever the irrigation is necessary
80 the production of a crop, it will be
found of great advantage, at the time
of seeding, to make bitches and fur
rows at short intervals, and then to
so check the water in these bitches
that it may stand in small bodies at a
level above the general surface of the
ground to be irrigated. If the water
is held constantly in these small res
%ervoirs during the growing season, it
will not be necessary to flood the
ground SO often, and if the soil is suf-
fciently porous, it may be possible to
give the crop all the moisture it needs
without surface application. Wherever
this plan is practicable it has been
found to be Of the greatest advantage,
as the ground is kept mellow and fri
able while flooded land becomes SO
hardened that plants make but little
growth in it.

Sheep breeders will do well to recol-
lect that the improved breeds of sheep
owe their present high position chiefly
to the care and feed given them. These
must be continued if the present excel
lence of the flock is to be maintained.
English sheep accustomed to shelter
from storms ord Y" err@culent food are
unable to - living as the
common She suntry are made
to do. The i.lrsoY aent has been
made at the expense o. hardness. All
the mutton breeds are more prone to
colds or catarrhal troubles and housing
from storms is imperative.
