His Game Spoiled.

For some time past there had been
a slick individual about town who ex.
listed by taking unsuspecting house.
wives into camp. His scheme was
to call at house and ask to see the
sewing machine. When it was shown
to him he would claim to have been
sent by the manufacturer to examine
the machine and clean it, if he founc
necessary. He always found it so,
and. after wiping around it for a few
moments, would demand a dollar for
his work. The woman of the house
would pay IN most cases, and when
she refused, the "lnspector would
roundly villify her. Chief Pusey had
several complaints during the past
week of the fellow, and Tuesday
morning he hunted him up. When
he was arraigned before Squire Bare
he gave his name as William H. Car
Isle, and his residence, Sunbury.
Carlisle was accused of the perform
ances complained of against him. but
he denied them all, and said he never
represented himself as the agent of
sewing machine company, but that he
turned an honest dollar whenever he
had a chance. There was no evil
dence, and he was released, after be-
Ing advised to leave town. He seemed
willing to do this, and started at once
to walk to Sunbury.-Dans1lze In

from Madrid say the provincial &C un-
Gil elections have resulted in the return
Of the ministerial nominees, except at
Bi!bCa. where the Basque patriot Sa-
rama has been elected by an overwh, l.
ming majority.
Serious street disorders ensued.
Madrid, Sept. 21.-Captain General
Blanco cables from Havana that he is
not in accord with the Cuban colohiai
ministry, to which the government
here replied that while Spanish sover-
eighty existed in Cuba. he must apply
autonomy, and therefore he could not
turn out the colonial government now
in Office and appoint a new one.
Madrid, Sept. 21.-The workmen Of
Bilboa, where the cruisers which be-
ionged to Admiral Cerveras fleet were
built. have decided to go TO Santander
in order to make a demonstration
against the defeated Spanish admiral
on his return to Spain.
The government, however. has taken
measures calculated to prevent the
plan being carried out, and the minis

The Duke of Tetuan, who was minis
ter for foreign affairs in the cabinet Of
the late Premier Canovas del Castillo,
is quoted as saying in an interview:
"Senor Canovas, IL he had lived.
would never have accepted war with
the United Statets. Canovas and my
self were convinced that war would
lead inevitably to the ruin of SPAIN"
Continuing. the duke blamed the Lib
erals, who, he said, could have avert
ed war, either by accepting the profit
cred good offices Of the United States
minister, General Stewart L. Wood
ford, or by treating with the insurs-
ents on the basis of Cuban independ-
ence, or by selling Cuba.
In conclusion the Duke Of Tetuan re-
marked: "Senor Sagasta is RESPONSE
BILE for all our disasters and must be
ejected from power"

Cattle for Feeders.

Last year many who engaged In the
business OF feeding cattle were anna
teurs. most of them farmers who re-
sorted to 1t as a method of getting
better prices for their grain, says the
Farmer" 1t was the inexperienced
men who fed at loss and who have
supplied the market with cattle which
they had not been able to bring to a
finished condition. Many of this class
will not again enter the market as
buyers. There will be a marked dis
elimination in favor Of well bred cat
tie. The best informed men were
those who bought the best cattle last
season, and as the men of this class
will form a larger proportion of the
buyers this year than last the sale Of
scrub stock will be more difficult than
1t was then. The range cattle feeders
Of the West seem to be determined to
get their stockers this fall for much
less money than was paid last year.
Last year stockers, as rule. were not
in as good condition as they are this
year, owing to the pastures being bet
ter. In that case they will be worth
more for feeding purposes. In addition
to this, stockers are not so plentiful
as last season, and feeders may find
1t difficult to get their supplies at the
lower prices determined upon.

Dirt IN the Dairy.

The whole science of butter making
seems to reyolve around the question
OF cleanliness. The problem of dirt
is the one that is hardest to solve.
The man that thinks that he is dairy
ing In a Clearly manner is almost al
ways mistaken, for cleanliness re-
qulres far greater effort than most
oil us suspect. The microscopic comes
along and looks into our "clean"
utensils and finds microbes there that
will certainly corrupt the product. He
looks into the stables and finds other
microbes there, but In greater num-
bers. he goes into the milk-house and
be finds the dirt there, and, mixed
with 1t, swarms of microbes. This is
so, though to the eye all is clean.
We do not take into proper account
the smallness of the particles of dirt
nor the smallness of the minute plants
we call bacteria. We wash the pals
TIL they are clean to all appearance,
but time and events show that they
are not clean. We wash out the milk
cans and think we have removed all
remains of the milk and dirt and mi
crobes. But put in the top to the can
and let the can set for a day. Then
open it, and the nostrils will be sa-
luted with the foulest and rankest of
smells. The very air inside the can
seems to have become a breeding
medium for these bacteria. Scientific
dairying requires the scalding cut OF
these cans by steam, and even steam
will not do the work unless the time
element be taken into consideration.
We have an illustration of how hard
1t is to keep dirt out Of the dairy by
the way in which the bottling system
has come into disrepute in some Sec
tons Of the country. 1t was believed
that bottling the milk was a great
Improvement over the old way of dip
ping milk for each customer out of
can. This was on the presumption
that the bottles would always be prop
erly and thoroughly washed, as any
defect Of this kind would be made
known in the unclean appearance of
the bottles. The trouble proved to be
that the bottles were not sufficiently
washed to kill any disease germs that
might have obtained a Judgment in
them. Thus at West Point ard in
Philadelphia it was believed that
scarlet fever was spread by this
means. The bottles, after being emp
tied of their contents, stood open in
the houses where this disease was
present. AS the bottles were not
washed by the people that used the
milk, the little milk left in the bottles
became a good breeding medium for
the germs of the disease. When the
bottles were washed at the bottling
establishment the baptism of heat was
not sufficient to kill the bacteria, and
when the new milk was put into them
the disease germs found q new and
enlarged medium for their multipli-
cation. The same is true of the germs
that cause milk to sour and butter to
spoil. Heat and acids are necessary to
give the cleanliness required in the
dairy.

ste tx and who gets from one TO rve
| dollars q sitting for his eggs, and the
same figures for his fowls-has no
need to count the cost so closely In
the production OF his stock. as the
prices obtained are sufficient to cover
even extravagant outlay, and to leave
good margin of profit. With the
marketer, however, 1t is quite differ
ent. He must bring his bill OF ex-
penses low in order to realize any prof.
it in eggs. In this connection we
would suggest the free use OF one OF
the modern inventions for the poultry
yard-the bone cutter; not the dry
bone crusher, but the green bone cut
ter, and the liberal use of green cut
bone in feeding the laying stock. With
the writer, green bones, fresh from the
butcher, are obtainable at fifty cents
per one hundred pounds, and their
value as food, in the production Of
eggs, Is worth from three to five cents
a pound. In fact, in fresh cut bone we
find the best and cheapest egg food
that we can buy. There Is certainly
a good margin of profit in selling eggs
at market prices when the hens are
fed plenty of fresh cut clean bone. OF
course it must not be fed exclusively;
but it may, We believe, constitute one
third of the feed given the hens with
out any bad effects. Too much bone
will cause dysentery or bowel trouble;
but with the coming Of cooler or cold
weather the hens can eat great deal
of it to advantage. The cut bone is
cheap, and it stimulates laying won
derfully. We believe that every per-
son who is producing eggs for market
should utilize, as hen food, the cheap
and wholesome bones that can be had
at eny butcher shop.

Business Fowls

In the human family we find oc-
casionally fine physical specimens of
the species that are OF no practical
use in the world, and the same rule
will apply in some degree to all ami
NAL life; and l have concluded that it
depends largely on the breeder wheth-
er domestic animal or fowl is sim
ply thing of beauty or built for bust
ness, says writer in Indiana Far
mer. II fancier's aim Is wholly with
a view to have q fowl of handsome
feather and comely appearance, or in
other words, "a winner at the show"
it is not surprising that such a bird
may not be a success as a layer of
eggs. Ny experience teaches that If
person wants money making bust
ness hens, he must keep that point in
view, culling closely all drones, loaf
ers, and doubtful characters, and
breed only those that are most prolific
in money making qualities, without so
much regard for fine feathers. l want
eggs and plump meaty hens, for in
them there is money, and while these
requirements are filled, it matters not
whether they are pure blood, or of any
fancy strain. Disappointment awaits
the poultryman who buys eggs for
Matching on the recommendation OF
others. My hens may do we'll for ne
under the diet and peculiar condl-
lions they are accustomed to, but
transfer them to another climate, diff
ferent feed, surroundings changed, and
they perhaps will prove very unsat-
isfactory, and 1t is for this reason that
/ In some degree account for the oft
repeated accusation of misrepresenta-
ton on the part Of sellers. Therefore,
don't depend too much upon others;
read good sound poultry literature,
and be guided by your own good sense
and experience. Raising poultry Is a
legitimate business, but needs to be
studied, built up, and taken care of
as any live merchant or manufacturer
takes care Of his affairs, and keeps up
with the times. 1t is by no means
simply chance or luck, but hard work.
that brings success, and he who thinks
otherwise had better look elsewhere
for soft snap"
There is money In the business, we
have ample proof. There are some
failures the same as in every other
line of business; but this is no reason
why the hen should retire from bust

At the present time there is only
one railroad in China, which was built
by Ii Hung Chang and is under the
control Of the government. The
trouble now threatening between Eng
land and Russia has arisen through
the reputation by China of contract
with the Hongkong and Shanghai
bank to build a road from Tientsin via
Shan-Hai-Kwon to New-Chwang. The
bank is owned almost entirely by
English capitalists. although a few
Americans hold stock in it. The pro-
posed new road was an important
part of the railroad system under de-
velopment in China. At it's northern
terminal it was to have connected with
the Manchurian road, which formed
the connecting link with the great
transsiberian route. On the south 1t
would have tapped, through Tientsin
and the road reaching to the Yang
tse river, the rich valley which is
China's chief source of agricultural
wealth. The proposed road, which the
Hongkong and Shanghai bank held
the contract to build, ran through the
Russian sphere of influence. Con-
sequently Russia brought great infiu-
ence to bear upon the Chinese govern
ment to prevent the carrying out Of
the terms of the contract.
