Even the home product newspapers

had more local advertising.
Newspaper men make lots of poll

a ringster would rather lose his
own job than to lose control of the
Grand juries and the prosecutor.
The paper that sells its advertising
space at less than cost, must necessa-

If it pays TO advertise our home

advertise our home made brick and
cement?
There must be fat pickings in the
sheriff and constable's offices, as there
seem to have the most applicants for
these jobs.
You can't keep up good free lunch

There was at one time barrel and

The American tramps who have

The new Democratic candidate for

"OLD SUBSCRIBER"
1t may be remarked that Mr.. Aub-

the national free silver ticket, and is
going to support the state free silver
ties are hardly consistent, to say the
least.
1t was the San Antonio correspon-

a Coffin For His Foe.

The Earl of March, who was known as
"Old o." on one occasion was challenged
to fight by an Irish sportsman. Lord
March appeared ON the ground accom-
panied by second, surgeon and other
witnesses. Great, however, was his sur
prise to see his opponent appear with n
like retinue to his own, but increased by a
third person who staggered under the
weight OF n polished oak coffin, which he
deposited on the ground, end up, with it's
lid facing Lord March and his party. Sur
prise gave place to terror when his lortlship
read the inscription plate, engraved with
his own name and title, and the date and
year OF demise, which was the actual day
as yet scarcely warm. The earl at once
approached his facetiors antagonist and
upbraided him for SO unsecmly n joke, to
which the Irishman replied, why, my
dear fellow, you are, Of course, aware that
l never miss my man, and as find myself
In excellent trim for sport this morning,
have not shadow of doubt upon my mind
that this open box will shortly be better
calculated for you than your present
dress " Lord March was 50 impressed by
his antagonists confident manner that q
peace was patched up between them.

Has Cancer Its Special Asscrobc:

A highly interesting discovery, which
will perhaps afford n clcw 60 the cause
Of cancer, has been made in Professor
Won Leydcn's university hospital here.
A young woman Of % and a man Of o..
both suffering from dropsy and cancer
of the stomach. were brought 20 the
hospital last spring. In order to remove
the accumulated fluid, tapping was &c
sorted TO in both cases The fluid was
examined under the microscope, and
hitherto unknown living organisms, be-
longing probably to the protocol, were
discovered.
Professor Waldcyer. to whom the
preparations were submitted, advised
that they should he sent 20 Dr. Schau.
dim, assistant Mt the Geological insti.
tute Of the Berlin university, who has
been investigating the protozoa for years
past. He began his examination ON July
10. and ascertained that in both cases
the fluid contained a rhizopod, which
he named Leydenia gcmmipara schau-
dim. He inferred that IL is rathogcnic
organism. but both he and Professor
Won Leyden still abstain from deciding
rs to the connection between IL and can-
Ger, though they admit the possibility
OF such connection. They have made
n preliminary communication ON the
subject TO the Berlin Academy Of Sci.

Frequent Stirring Aids in Securing Satis-
factory Results.
A bulletin from the Iowa expert
ment station makes the following
statements in regard to ripening
cream: 1t will be seen from expert
ments that the right degree of acidity
largely governs the flavor of butter.
all other conditions being favorable
Another essential feature in making
good butter is, that the cream should
be frequently stirred during the ripen-
ing process, as many of the Tactic acid
germs are acrobic and require free
oxygen. Where the cream is warmer
than the surrounding atmosphere,
odors are given off; where the cream is
cooler, odors are taken on. We have
found the best results to be obtained
by quick ripening, with frequent STIR
ring. Our highest favored butter
was produced when the acidity was
about 81 and the cream ripened at a
temperature above 20 degrees. The
writer could not say that 81 would do
for all localities, no experiments
have been conducted outside of the
college creamery. We found no diff
Guilty in changing the flavor of butter
from one to three points where the
same cream was divided and ripened
10 o1Herent degrees Oh acldIty at vari-
Gus temperatures. 1t was found when
the cream was ripened to an acidity
above 40 that it took on bitter flavor.
The same results were noticeable when
the cream was ripened for a long Pc
Rod, at a low temperature. without
much stirring. Low Temperatures
seem to be favorable to the growth of
germs that impart bitter flavor to
the cream.

SIMPLE GREENHOUSE.

Plans and Specifications for Three
Quarter Span Structure.
The plans as here given represent q
Z-span house, and will assist anyone
to make a handsome greenhouse
The size of the greenhouse is IL feet
wide by 20 feet long, and the boiler
house six feet square The glass used
in the roof is IA inches wide.
The greenhouse can be made with
either wood or iron rafters and puriins-
Iron is the better, as it makes lighter
house and lasts much longer than
wood. The rafters are made fast to
iron foot pieces that extend into the
ground. and run up to the ridge, which
IS also of iron; these are capped with
cypress, in which to bed the glass. The
ridge also receives a cap of the same
wood. The sash bars are made of cy-
press.
The inside of the house can be sealed
with cypress, then builders paper
should be put on and the outside COW
cred with novelty siding.
The ventilation shown on the plan is
continuous and 80 inches wide, and is
placed next to the ridge. 1t should be
operated by ventilating apparatus.
such Is can be purchased from any
maker of greenhouse material.

range the manager somewhat on Mr..
Woodward's plan here illustrated. He
says: IF pair of posts or stakes be
firmly set in the ground or made fast to
the floor like pair of stanchions, just
far enough apart to admit cows neck,
and hole be bored just high enough so
that pin put through will prevent the
animal raising her head quite level, it
will be impossible for the apples to roll
down into the throat and choke her. The
same apparatus will prevent animals
choking when eating potatoes or any
other food. What makes the animal
choke is raising the head so high that
the pieces slip, by their own weight,
into the gullet." L think that the in
structions and information. as here
given, should induce those among our
apple-producing friends who have yet
been in doubt as to the advisability of
feeding apples to relieve the country OF
the otherwise undesirable surplus by
turning it into milk, butter and meat.
