Electric Plows.

within the last twelve months sew
eral experiments have been made by
German firms to replace animal power
by electrical power in agricultural
operations" says the Philadelphia
Record. 1.-THE German Government
has now Joined the ranks Of the ex-
perimenters, and is carrying out some
extensive trials of electric plows at the
Sillium estate, near the Upper Hartz
Some information has been furnished
by an electrical manufacturing COM
pany of Berlin, who have also made ex-
periments with electric blowing appar-
atus. The power required for this
machine was II kilowatts when plow-
ing width of "a inches, and a depth
of IA inches, at the rate of eight yards
per minute. The area ploweds in ten
hours working day at this rate would
be seven and one-half acres The ap-
paratus is so arranged that parallel to
the motor car there runs at the other
side of the field car carrying the other
end of wire rope. The plow Is hauled
along this rope to and fro, and both
cars are moved slowly on. The great
est difficulty seems to lie in fixing and
moving the pulley car. The pressure
employed is that of the usual trolley
wad standard, namely, 900 volts.

HER CONTRIBUTION ACCEPTED.
Her Brother Paid for II at Advertis.
Ing Rates.

Here Is the amusing experience of an
amateur literary aspirant which was told
70 me few days ago, says writer in
the New York Commercial Advertiser:
A young woman in New York wrote
one day short skit intended to be hu-
niorous. 1t aroused favorable comment
from her circle Of friends and she made
up her mind that 1t was good enough to
be published In one Of the humorous Pc
riodicals. Accordingly she submitted 1t
to first one periodical, then another. 1t
was brief skit, only about fifty lines
IN all, and, as her brother indulgently
said couldn't possibly have done any
harm" But still the hard-hearted edi-
tors failed to see the humor Of 1t and
kept sending it back to her. Finally the
young author lost heart completely and
was about to bury her poor little skit in
the depths Of her portfolio. Then her
brother took pity on her and said:
Here, give me your skit. I'll get 1t
published or know the reason why"
A week or two later her skit appeared
in one Of the humorous papers and the
young contributor enjoyed all the de-
lights Of first authorship, sending
marked copies of the paper to friends,
etc. The contribution did not occupy a
prominent place. 1t was among the adj
vertsements, but the author had seen
many comics among the advertisements
and she was too contented to see heI
contribution in type to inquire farther.
She never knew what that twinkle in
her brothers. eyes meant and that he
had paid full advertising rates to insert
her jskit in fifty lines space, single col
umn, one insertion"

stipulated commission to the negotiator
OF what Is In nine cases out of every
ten purely commercial transaction.
Morganatic marriages are but little
understood in this country, where they
appear to be regarded in the light Of
something immoral. This is far from
being the case. The position OF the
morganatic wife is perfectly respectable.
Her union receives the sanction and the
blessing Of the church, and the only
way in which 1t differs from an ordi-
nary marriage is that the troth Is
plighted with the left hand Instead Of
with the right, and that the rights Of
the inferior of the two contracting par
ties are limited Indeed, the word
"morganatic." derived from the Scan
dinavian verb morgan" ('to limit'')
implies as much. Thus a morganatic
wife has no right to her husbands title
or fortune.

Soup.

Owing to science-the science of cook
ing and perhaps to fashion-soup is be-
coming a part Of our daily bill Of fare.
'Tis well, for in the soup we obtain
nourishment which otherwise cannot
be readily obtained.
The making of soup is an art which
any one may acquire, but we must, In
the first place, have the wherewith to
make it.
In the first place, herbs are absolute
ly necessary, and 1t is best to raise and
prepare them at home. Sage, thyme
sweet marjoram, tarragon. mint, sweet
basil and bay leaves are all raised from
seed. Sow in boxes early in the
spring and transplant into the garden
after the frost season. Parsley and
tarragon should be dried in June just
before towering Mint is also dried
during June and July; thyme, mario
ram and savory must be dried during
the latter month or in August; basil
and sage in August and September.
All herbs should be gathered during
sunshine, dried by artificial heat and
kept in air-tight cans.
If you will add pinch of white
sugar to the soup it will impart a flavor
which cannot be obtained otherwise.
In using rice or sage l allow half a
cupful to three quarts of soup.
l have given outlines which I think
are not given in receipt book. Any
cook book will give you recipes for
stock, ETC., but / must give my re-
cipe for tomato soup, which believe
is original.
To pint of chopped fresh or canned
tomatoes add cup of milk and lit
tie butter. Let 1t boil; add teaspoon
full of -four; one Of soda; let 1t boil up
once; favor and serve. Do not add
salt until ready to serve, as the salt
combined with the acid Of the toma-
toes will cause the milk to curdle.-

COMPLIMENTS OF THE SEASON.

Half a hundred of us saw Wild JACK
as he came riding into Red Gulch on his
cayuse at 9 o'clock one morning, looking
neither to the right nor left as ne passed
down the long street and halted In front
of the Star saloon. When he had hltched
his horse he asked Of man standing
In the door of the station:
Stranger, do you happen to know a
critter in this gulch who calls hisseh
Pawnee Joe?"
IT do" replied the man. do you want
anything in pertickler of the aforesaid?'
"Jest to fill him up with lead"
"You ar agin him, take it?"
IT ar"
Hes purity slick on the shoot his
self"
Eyes; I know. Kin you locate his kar-
cass at the present timer"
II kin. He's asleep right In this we're
place and If it'll be any favor to We I'll
wake him up and remark to him that
we ar we're to put holes in him."
I'll thank we fur yer trubble."
What name shall give?"
Jest Wild Jack"
The man in the doorway disappeared
and Wild Jack moved off about 80 feet
and drew a gun. Two minutes later
Pawnee Joe suddenly leaped out Of the
door and opened fire on him and at the
third shot Wild Jack tumbled over dead
and his pistol was discharged in the
air.
ANY other critter around?" asked Joe,
as he looked up and down.
That's ALL" answered one of the crowd
"Then I'll go back and finish my nap
Durn a man who'll cum bluffln' and
BLOWN around at this time O. day! I'll
keep the cayuse, but you kin plant him
and keep the guns for pay!"
That was all. In five minutes Pawnee
Joe was fast asleep again and in hall
an hour the body of Wild Jack was I'M
der ground and the story an old one.

FARM AND GARDEN.
Savannah, Ca. News.)

(SaVannan, ia, NeWsJ
The New York Herald, in an article
In its last Sundays issue on THE
Money Question" says: IAN ample
yield of cotton maturing three weeks
earlier than last years restricted crop
Is a blessing to the country at this
time"
So it is the South that is to furnish
the means to prevent the gold in the
Treasury from being withdrawn 10 an
extent that would cause a financial
penic If the Government did not issue
more bonds for gold. The important
part which the South plays in the COM
mercial and financial affairs of this
country is not fully appreciated. If 1t
were not for the Souths cotton the bal
ance of trade would be against US all
the time 1t would take vast sum OF
gold each year to settle this balance.
While it is true we export many other
things, still we should be in a rather
sorry plight If it were not for the
South's cotton, which, in European
markets, is just as good as gold.
The banks and business firms which
have bound themselves to keep up the
gold reserve to 500, 100000 run very lit
tie risk in doing so. They know that
cotton will soon begin to move from the
fields to the great cotton manufacture
ing establishments of the world. In
fact, to limited extent, it has begun
to move already. Within a month OF
six weeks it will be going forward in
vast quantities, and those who have
bound themselves to keep up the gold
reserve will have no difficulty in sup,
plying exchange to all who need it.
Although the people of the South. as
a rule, are in favor of free silver coin
age, they cannot but feel a pride in the
fact that at this time 1t is upon the
South's great product that dependence
is placed to keep the currency Of the
country sound. Wall street, with al
its wealth, cannot do what the South Ii
| able to do with her cotton.

For Summer Cooking.

1t is a study to note the difference In
the manner different people bear the
heat Of summer and its discomforts.
Pussy, nervous people, from the very
effervescence Of their energies, suffer
much more than calm, quiet people, who
take things as they come and make
UP their minds to be comfortable under
all circumstances. The first considers-
ton is to dress lightly; the next is to
arrange the household so as not to be
heated by the kitchen cook stove. A
summer kitchen Is blessing many
housewives are deprived Of Where such
place is impossible summer stove
is the next best thing, heated by kero-
sene. gasoline or. better than all, gas.
The advantages of these stoves are too
obvious to be overlooked, whatever
their limitations.
The progressive housewife Is looking
forward wistfully to the electric stove.
which will in all probability be the ideal

and should shade all the sunny win
dows. The wire screen is the next con-

kitchen windows and at the kitchen

The honsskeeper should take advant-
age of every continuance to reduce
heat. The room should be shut I'D
from the sun from early in the morning
until late In the afternoon, when the
cooling breezes of evening should be
allowed to cool the house.
Where IT is possible, candles are
found to be good substitute for the
lamp or gaslight. which heat the apart

Profitable Dairying.
In an address to Kansas farmers A.

In an address to Kansas farmers A.
e. Jones said:
The farmer who is isolated from
markets and is obliged to barter his but
ter at the store for and 10 cents a
pound will never get wealthy, and the
best thing he can do is to join with his
neighbors and try to induce some one
to put in a creamery. The COW, worth
from $50 to SIS, and given $50 worth of
feed a year, If judiciously handled, near
good market will make profit for her
owner. She should produce 5000 pounds
of 4 to Az per cent milk, which sold to
a creamery at the average price Of 80
cents per hundred, would return $4S to
$54 year. Besides there would be the
skim milk, the calf and the manure.
Twenty dollars to $25 is considered a
good profit on a COW after paying for
feed and labor, saying nothing about
the by-products. The cow that will pro-
duce 300 pounds of butter year will do
so at cost of 10 cents a pound, If she Is
we'll managed. The average cost, how
ever is about IL cents a pound, based
on the price of feeds from year to year.
The COW that only produces 200 pounds
a year would do so at cost Of Is cents
a pound, and the $50 pounds year COW
at a cost Of 20 cents, taking 1t for grant
ed that the feed Is the same in either
case.
The pleasant feature about dalrying
| is the profit. If the profit is not found
there Is no pleasure in the work. This
| Is q general law, but 1t applies with
specific force to dairying, because prof
| liable dairying is fine art, and success
Is won by strict attention to business.
The man who looks upon cow as a
necessary evil, can never be a decided
success as a dairyman, any more than
slovenly farmer can make a success
| of farming The price received for but
ter depends chiefly upon the taste of the
consumer. The intelligent butter
maker studies the taste Of those people
who are willing to pay well for what
suits them, and then he learns how to
make that kind of butter. 1t is the only
way he can get their money. 1t is not
the expense of manufacture that fixes
the price. The consumer cares not that
the butter perhaps cost untold labor on
| the part of some one who churned and
prepared II for market. II inferior, It
sells for an inferior price, regardless Of
the cost Of production, and II It Is supe-
rior, 1t sells at two prices, though made
with ease and little expense. And the
beauty remains that the cost of produc-
ing the best butter need not be greater
than that of producing goods of poor
er quality, in fact the bad article is
generally made at the greatest cost Ig-
norance is expensive. think 1t will
make everyone who owns cows better
dairyman to sit down and compare the
prices of dairy goods with those Of other
farm products. If your cheap grains
can be converted into 20 and rs cent
butter and 10 cent cheese or 81 to $3.50
per hundred for milk, it will pay better
than selling the raw material and rob-

ORIGIN is OBSCURE.
The Surrender of the Wife's Name
at Marriage.
Chicago Chronicle.)

The practice of the wife assuming the
husbands name at marriage, accord
ing to DR.. Brewer, originated from a
Roman custom, and became the common
custom after the Roman occupation.
Thus, Julia and Octavia, married to
Pompey and Cicero, were called by the
Romans Julia of Pompey, Octavla Of
Cicero, and In later times married wo-
men in most European countries signed
their names in the same manner. but
omitted the "of."
Against this view 1t might be mem
toned that during the sixteenth, and
even at the beginning Of the seven
teenth century, the usage seems doubt
full, since we find Catharine Parr so
signing herself after she had been twice
married, and we always hear Of Lady
Jayne Grey mot Dudley, Arabella Stu
art (not Seymour), etc. Some persons
think that the custom originated from
the scrlptural teaching that husband
and wife are one. This was the rule
SO far back as Braeton, died 1928. and 1t
was decided in the case OF Bon vs.
Smith, in the reign of Elizabeth. that q
woman by marriage loses her former
name and legally receives the name Of
her husband. Altogether. the custom is
involved In much obscurlty.

WITH THE LEFT HAND.
Marriages Between Titled Foreign
ers and American Girls.

ers and American Girls.
New York Journal)
Left-handed or morganatic marriages
between American girls and illustrous
foreigners are exceedingly rare, the
daughters Of Uncle Sam being, as a rule.
far too high spirited to consent to a
matrimonial union which does not place
them upon social equality with their
husbands.
The first instance was that of Miss
Mary Esther Lee Of New York, who on
marrying morganatically Prince Fred
erick of Schleswig- Holsteln- Sonderburg-
Augustenburg, was created by his
friend, the Emperor Of Austria, a Prin-
cess OF Noer in her own right. This
title she bore until, several years after
the death Of Prince Frederick, she mar
ried the German General Count Valdez
see, since when she has been known
by his name.
The second case Is that of Miss Elsie
Hensler of Boston, who on contracting
a morganatic marriage with the late
King Ferdinand Of Portugal grand
father Of the present King, was created
Countess Of Edla. The third case must
necessarily be that of the New Orleans
heiress, Bertha Lewis, who was led to
the altar In London on Aug. "a of last
year by Prince Charles Isenburg- Biz
Cfa ha ht,,,oa a. try1a
of his marriage, surrendered all his
rights. prerogatives and status as a
Prince of his house, just in the same
manner as Count Pappenheim was COM
PEELED to do when he married Miss
Wheeler, of Philadelphia.
This union of Prince Isenberg has
until now attracted relatively little at
tention, but seems destined to come to
the fore in connection with the some
what sensational suit for unpaid COM
mission which is being brought against
the Prince by the broker who placed
him in communication with his Amer
lean bride. This Is the first occasion
on which an action Of this kind has
ever been brought in regard to any
of these so-called international mar
rjages-that is to say, unions between
fmpecunlous mobiles of the old world and
wealthy daughters Of the new world.
But it by no means follows that this Is
the first case of failure on the part
of the bride and bridegroom to pay the
