ITS LEGITIMATE FRUITS.

A professor OF tho University OF Bonn,
Switzerland, has found records that have en-
abled him TO trace the descendants for five
generations of woman who died early In the
century and who was confirmed dfunkard,
The number of persons in direct line OF de-
scent to the present time has been S34. OF
these the investigator has been able 10 ascer-
tain the records of no fewer than 700. OF
these 700 the professor has found that

also been made ofthe cost TO the State OF

and lost through theft. The total has been
placed at the great sum of 81, ,260, 600 for the
whole period, or more thaa $l2,500 year.
No reason exists for supposiug that these
figures err In the direction of being too low.
On the contrary, they are much more likely
to underestimate the moral and financial cost
TO society Of the offspring OF this abandoned
woman, who died nearly 100 years ngo.

dustry of the farmer should corre-
spond.
Ifyou must double crop the orchard
don't SOW oats, but plant some hoed
crop; put on more manure that the
crop will consume and give thorough
tillage.
Superhuous branches on the trees
are like weeds in the cornfield-a use
less drain upon the resources of tree
and soil and an injury to the crop.
Cut the rascals out.

growth always Injuries the fleece. As
spring approaches watch the lambs
closely they must produce growth of
both fleece and carcaes-a double de-

attention.
1t does not pay to work with dull or
otherwise inefficient tools. Bad plows,
broken harness, poor teams aud un-
successful farmers are usually found
together on the poorest farms. The
disease OF inefiiciency is contagious
aud is sure to spread from one to an
other until every factor of the farm
problem is down with it.
Grass is king of all the products OF
the field; it nourishes more of Gods
creatures thnn all other products CON-
bined. In clothing the earth with
carpet of grass the Almighty knew
what He was about. But vain man
thinks he knows beet, and lsbors to
destroy grass enough to support two
oxen that he may grow corn enough
to feed calf.
The trouble with people who are
supplying fresh eggs is that they be-
come careless, and il they find a nest
full Of eggs that look clean, they will
turn them in whether they know their
age or not. That is no way to keep a
trade for fresh eggs. Neither will dirty
eggs help fresh egg trade. In fact,
dirty eggs sell for less than clean ones
on the general market.
If wagon for each of the riggings
is not at hand there should be some
convenient method provided to lift
the boxes and racks ON and off the
wagon. A frame for the box, hay
rack, wood rack, ETC., built as high as
the hind wheels of the wagon, upon
which to keep them, will be better
than lifting them off the ground. Con-
trivances for lifting are sometimes
expensive.
If you allow a draught of air to flow
over your fowls at night, the proba-
bility will be that you will find their
heads and eyes swollen in the morn
ing. The first thing to do is to remove
the cause by stopping up the cracks of
the ventilntor hole at the top of the
poultry house. The best remedy is to
anoint the head and eyes with a few
drops of a mixture of one part OF
spirits turpentine and four parts
sweet oil.
Chestnuts give early and regular re-
turns, with little or no cost for care
or culture, with certainty of finding
a ready market. They are a concen,
trsted product, thus lessening the per-
centage of freight deduction, and are
not perishable, like pears, Strawberries
and milk, which necessitate expedi-
tious and expensive shipping and
prompt sale. Competition is scanty,
but pioneers report such profit as to
soon insure increased numbers.

An AIliga,or,s Dinner Hour.

Miss Vera Gould, of Thirty ninth

which was sent to her from Florida.
Since the arrival of tho alligator, which
is about eighteen inches long, Miss
Gould morns the loss of her pet kit.
ten: and thereby hangs a tale. Mr..
Alligator usually receives the best of
attention, and after good square
meal is at peace with the world, doing
in his tank until mealtime comes again.
The tank Is located in the dining
room, and the other day his midday
meal was forgotten-that is forgotten
by everybody except the alligator. He
proved, however, that he was not en-
tirely dependent upon others when
his appetite was assailed. About 3
o'clock in the afternoon Miss Gould
heard series of feline yells issuing
from the kitchen, and on appearing on
the scene was perfectly horrified at
what met her gaze. There on the
floor was her pet alligator vainly en-.
deavoring to get the head of kitten
in his mouth, while the mother of the
victim was perched on the back of the
alligator, clawing and biting it in a
vicious manner. After rescuing the
kitten and chasing the other pet to its
abode, Miss Gould discovered that she
was minus a kitten and concluded
that the hungry alligator had eaten it.
It was afterwards necessary to keep
the mother cat in the cellar, as she at
tempted several times to wreak ven
geance on the destroyer of her family.
