Turning Rabbits Into Cash.

The Australians having been plagued
with rabbits for a generation, are now
trying to turn the plague to a profit.
a cargo OF ninety-six Thousand hts,
frozen, was despatched to London n
little more than a month ago. The
prospect thus held out of turning rab-
bits into cash stimulated the owners
and holders of land to great exertions
and now the rodents are arriving in
Melbourne ut the rate of from ten
thousand TO twelve thousand u day.
1t Is easier, however, to get them to
the cities than to get them shipped,
and there is already far more bulk of
rabbits in Melbourne than there are
vessels with refrigerating chambers to
take them away. Should the trade
succeed another blow will be dealt at
the poor staggering British landed in
terest; for it goes without saying that
Australian rabbits will sell NJ rate
with which the owners of British war
rens will be unable to compete. But
dead rabbit is difficult thing to keep
III condition, and there are few more
dangerous forms of food than rabbits
out of condition.

Fooled by a TPnlcrl,nnf.

According to resident of Cheyenne,
who talked with Washington Star
reporter, certain residents of Laramie
are now convinced that some eastern
men know how to shoot. TO use the
Cheyenne mans words, it happened
in this manner: "a finely dressed
young man stepped into saloon to
get drink, where lot Of cowboys
were having IL good time. The sight
OF the tcnderfoot was the signal for
some fun, and half dozen pistols
were drawn Just to scare the man from
the states. The stranger wore silk
nat, and The cry went up shoot the
tile. The man turned with his glas =
at his lips, and without tremor drew
n pistol from his coat pocket. BY the
time the drink was swallowed six
pistols lay on the floor; he bad shot
every one of them out of their owner S
hands. They crowded around him,
and the tenderfoot was not allowed to
pay for anything that night"

a cooking teacher so that the server

possible of the splashing of gravy in

middle, says the authority, and the
breast on top of it. Cross the drum
sticks, and lay them at either side,
with the second joints at the ends.
The wings should be placed outside
these. If two fowls are served, the
arrangement is simply repeated at the
other end of the platter.

May Weed I'm Fields.

May weed is not kind of weed that
5eriously troubles the careful farmer.
1t mainly comes i'll on hard, trodden
places by road sides, where if anything
else starts to grow it is crushed out
The may weed, not being so easily
killed, survives. May weed cannot
thrive where there is an undisturbed
and thrifty growth of clover, but let
the clover be trampled in the miro by
stock. and the may weed will be ready
to grow and take the vacant place. 1t
IS most often seen, aside from road
sides, at the entrance to pasture lots,
where clover and the grasses are
tramplcd to death by stock.

breeding from the apple maggot will
be greatly diminished in the localities
where this plan is followed.
From personal experience, extend
ing over many years, l can speak posi-
lively of the advantages of allowing
fowls and chickens free range in
apple orchards. They not only ma
nure the soil and destroy all insects
harboring in it, but they find, for some
weeks, considerable portion of their
own food-the windfalls, which they
devour greedily, with any grubs they
may contain.
The raising of poultry for sale may
be much more advantageously carried
on where the land is made to produce
two crops-namely, apples and eggs
than where only one is gathered.

such a furor only a short time since

truth without varnish or polish,

Miss Anna Mortland, as Trilby
makes an ideal one, and in the first
act, while she was lounging in San
dys arms smoking a cigarette with
a French uniform coat pulled over
her shoulders in easy abandon, we
imagined Du Maurier had just such
a subject before him when he wrote
the book that called forth the play
Miss Mortland is pretty, smart, of
good form and shapely arms, just
such a woman as could run any one
crazy should she desire,
Mr., Friedrich Lauder little

enough affection for Trilby in his
