Jimmie Michael is training harder this
year than he has ever been known TO do,
remarked his advance agent. when in
this city a few days ago. He has the
reputation Of being one of the most care
ful workers and faithful observers of all
the requirements necessary TO keep him
in condition. This means that Michael
has determined 10 do in America as
Americans do. and that is 10 make sue
cess of competition riding. The little fel-
low has been approached by his friends,
who have warned him most solemnly TO
beware Of the evil of competition. you
are sure TO lose at IT," they declare to
him, "and, as your friends, we hate TO
see you 90 down in defeat. Stick to
paced work. and you are all right"
Though Michael has not as yet started
in competition work there IS a possibility
that he Will. He knows bit more about
himself and his ability TO do good work
than some of his friends do, and he has
goone right ahead in his training. He
may or may not make a success in COM
petition this year, but the prediction is
ventured that he VIII. AS an unpaced
rider he can do a mile so close to the
record that it would make Cline Coui-
ter's back creep If he could see him. If
Michael has that ability the rest will
come by experience, and experience only.
The midget is a marvel. He has been
successful in everything he has attempted
and if he embarks in short distance COM
petition and fails he will surprise his
friends indeed.

Known at the time of his trip 10 EuYope
last Winter, when he crossed the pond

hour while on the "Trip. He was very
prominent man IN New York in conse-
quence OF this ride, and OF his great repu-
tatiOn in Europe. a laughabIe instance
occurred upon his arrival in New York.
He registered at the Everett House and
was assigned 10 a room. This was about
noon, and Michael at once started out to
purchase Souvenirs for the loved ones at
home. During his absence the clerks be-
hind the counter changed and upon his
return, laden with bundles he met with a
rebuff, et which he laughs meFrily to this
day Going up 10 the desk. his bundles in

Michael glanced at him, and following di-

Waste in Butchering.

There are many lessons which the
majority of farmers would learn by a
visit to the abbattoirs or immense
butchering establishments of some of
our large cities. The ease and rap
idity with which hogs or cattle are
killed and dressed are perhaps as i'm
pressive as any. But hardly less so is
the care everywhere taken that moth
ing be allowed to go to waste. Every
thing about the hog is said to be put
to some use in the Chicago stock yards
except his squeal. The hair, feet and
ears are made into what is called
"souse," and is liked by everybody,
while the intestines are cleaned and
saved to hold the sausage meat. With
beef cattle a great deal is saved in the
packing house which in most farmers
yards is allowed to go to waste. The
four feet of the animal are boiled SO as
to extract the oil, of which the four
will usually furnish about one quart.
The horns and the bones are valuable
as they can be worked up into great
variety of useful articles. 1t is in such
savings as these that a great proper
ton of the beef-packer's profits are
made, and they enable him to sell meat
much more cheaply than would other
wise be possible.

Remedies That Have Been Tried In
the Infested Districts.
In view of the destruction caused by
this new enemy to fruit and ornament
al trees and shrubbery, and the alarm
ing spread of the disease, coupled with
the fact that no effective remedy has as
yet been found, the following method
for detecting the insect is especially
timely. On account of it's small size,
most persons in looking for it pass it
by unnoticed. Tie female scale is
only about one-twentieth of an inch
in diameter, while the male is only
about one-half that size. The shape
of the female is nearly circular, while
the male is more elongated. The fe-
male is sharply convex or conical in
the centre This last characteristic
will help to distinguish it from many
of the more common species. Its color
is nearly like the bark on which it is
found. Another distinguishing char
acteristic is found in the reddish dis
coloration of the bark Immediately
surrounding the scale and extending
through both the outer and the inner
bark. These characteristics will en-
able one with an ordinary pocket mag
nifying glass to detect the presence Of
the insect.
Several remedies have been tried in
infested districts with more or less
success, and among them the old-time
remedy for scale insects of any kind,
that of painting the trunk and branch
es of the trees with thick white paint.
This has proved more or less success
full, but in some cases the trees were
killed, probably because turpentine or
similar oil was used for mixing the
paint, which will kill trees about as
quickly as anything which could be
put on them. White lead = It thin
ned with linseed oil is the only safe
thing in the paint line to use on
trees.

EnsiIaxe Crops.

Although corn is the principal crop
used for ensilaging in the United
States, there are many other plants
suitable for this purpose. The first ex-
periments in this line were made on the
continent of Europe with sugar beet
leaves. In this country millet, rye,
sorghum. oats, peas and other crops
have been ensilaged with satisfactory
results.
