Live Stock Points.

All over the southern half of the
great American corn belt the sofa bean
will grow luxuriantly and it is one of
the best stock feeds ever discovered.
The difference between it and corn is
that the sofa contains protein and oil !;
the corn contains starch and oil For
fattening hogs mixture composed of
two-thirds cornmeal and third sofa
bean meal makes the ideal food for hogs.
The sofa bean will grow well in lati-
tude as far north as line cutting off
the upper third of the states of Indiana,
Illinois and Ohio SOFA meal makes lean
meat. 1t is also muscle making, hui
man food. Try it next year
The American fat stock and horse
show at Chicago will not last SO long
as was at first intended 1t will begin
Nov. and continue only one week
Did you know you could not drive a
hog across railway track?
When animals are to be transported a
short distance, it saves much time and
bother to haul instead of driving or
leading them
Secretary Wilson of the national ag-
ricultural department is getting infor-
nation from foreign countries in Europe
and elsewhere that will enable him to
tell American horse breeders exactly
what kind of animals are wanted for
the markets outside of our own land,
from cavalry steeds to plow nags.
The draft horse is in demand again
There is no doubt of that Those who
have good number of Peroherons,
Clydesdales or other fine, large pullers
will get profitable price for them
Place rack upon a wagon box that

high enough to let sheep or hogs stand

Toll Your sheep or hogs into the rack,
then lift it upon the wagon box and you
viii have no trouble in hauling the ami
mails anywhere you wish to take them
This is much better than trying to drive
them.

Worked the Officers.

A sailmaker's mate in the navy who
into business with some money he had
fallen heir to made a success of the
monomania dodge. It is the business of
a man-of war sailmaker's mate to sew
up members of the crew who die at sea
in hammocks preparatory to their be-
mate appeared on deck one day with a
queer look in his eye and announced to
his shipmates forward that he was dead
and that he was going to prepare him
self for burial in the deep. Some of the
men watched him as he went to the
sailmaker's storeroom and began to sew
himself up in new hammock. When
he had got the job about half finished,
the men informed the officer of the deck
of the case, and the sailmakers mate
was put under observation in double
irons. When he was released from the
brig, still under observation, but appar-
emily not aware of the espionage, he
went direct to the storeroom, got an
other hammock and began to enshroud
himself again. The skipper of the ship
reduced him to the rate of seaman for
this, for the purpose of keeping the man
away from the sailmaker's storeroom,
thinking that if he was removed from
the sight of the stored up hammocks
his mania might leave him. The night
of the day he lost his rate the ex-sail-
maker mate broke into the storeroom
where the new hammocks were kept and
sewed himself up for burial again. Then
the feet surgeons held survey on him,
and he got his discharge He started

navy yards, and for some time he made

A Bee Was Kept.

A girl from town is staying with
some country cousins who live at a
farm On the night of her arrival she
finds. to her modification, that she is
ignorant Of all sorts of things connected
with farm life which to her country
cousins are matters of everyday knowl-
edge. She fancies they seem amused at
her ignorance.
At breakfast the following morning
she sees on the table dish of fine hon
ey, whereupon she thinks she has found
an opportunity of retrieving her humil-
iating experience of the night before
and of showing her country cousins that
she knows something of country life
after all So, looking at the dish Of
honey, she says carelessly:

Points About Parks.

Among those who came to Rock
Island to attend the diocesan con-
vention Of the Episcopal church this
week was E. j. Porter, of QUINCY,
president of the Park association in
that city. The Gem city has been
perfecting park system for 10 year
and has 100 acres laid out and con-
verified into park purposes. The sys-
tenn is supported out of the munich
pal fund and not by an Independent
district, as is proposed here. MIR.
Porter says the investment made at
Quincy has come back to the citi-
zens many fold. Yesterday after
noon in company with Messrs. E. II.
Guyer and Phil Mitchell, Mr.. Porter
visited the Watch Tower and other
places OF interest in the suburbs, and
was amazed and delighted with the
