Corn That Catches Coons.

Eight or ten years or 80 ago there
was o lake near Morrilton covering
about 10000 acres. When the big
floods came two years ago An opening
was made by the surging waters which
carried off oil the water of this lake
when the foods subsided. The bed
Of the lake dried up and left the richest
koil the world ever saw. It is ten
feet deep, and nothing the River Nile
ever produced could excel it.
This year Mills and HALEY have q
crop of corn on about 1000 acres Of
this land. They sowed the corn
broadcast like wheat, and scores Ct
''shoots" ore also loaded down.
"It is the most remarkable corn
crop ever produced in the world" de.
clared Professor Cox, and to make the
story even more interesting, he ended
it by declaring that o ''ooon" was
caught between the stalks, aad, being
unable to extricate itself because they
were so thick, was killed by those
who came upon it.-Little Rock Ark.

Pie formation Of labor union i

Fhe formation of labor union in
Toxic Japan, and the issuance Of q
single tax paper there accent the
change that has come over the eoun-
try since the war. The fifteen-cent
wage rate appears to be thing of the
past and seventy-cent rate is en-
forced at some of the treaty ports.
There are, however, eo many laborers
IN Japan ITO sustain western wage
scales, and any great general o'gIni-
zation of workers would probably be
frowned down by the authorities.
Nevertheless the movement is an in
teresting sign of the times.

At Dr.. M'cosh's Expense.

The late DR.. McCosh, Of Princeton
University, was an excellent hand at
securing donations for that institution,
and vet It was always his boast that
he never asked any man for cent.
In connection with this well-known
trait of President McCosh's character,
d prominent educator Of this city tells
how one of the doctors friends and
Chauneey NJ. Depew once conspired to
mortify the good old Princetonian at
a Yale dinner. 1t was arranged that
the friend should accuse the doctor OF
begging. and that Mr.. Depew should
follow with a vigorous deniak In the
first speech 1t was asserted that DR..
McCosh made practice Of calling upon
brokers in their offices and remaining
until in sheer desperation, the brokers
gave him contributions to get rid OF
him; also, that he attended meetings
Of various kinds for the purpose OF tax.

AGRICULTURAL TOPICS.
Grooming the Horse.

The farm horse ought to have plenty
Of grooming, but the curry-comb
ought not to do very much. The most
work in grooming should be after the
days work is done. His legs and feet
ought to have special care. Clean his
feet out thoroughly each evening. An
old broom will do good work in this.
Give good rubbing over the whole
body with q wisp of straw, working
briskly on his legs and feet. Keep
the fetlocks trimmed closely and per-
fectly free from mud and dust when in
the stable.

CLEANING posTALs.
Process to Remove Printing from Un.
Cancelled Cards.

Process to Remove Printing from On.
Cancelled Cards.
An advertisement has appeared in
some Of the daily papers, in which a
cash payment has been offered for un-
Cancelled printed postal cards. This
was all that was stated, and as 1t SEEM
ed to be out of the general run Of ad-
vertisements, q call was made on the
advertiser to find out the object Of this
offer.
1t seems that many business houses
have occasion to have a large number
Of postal cards printed, to advertise
some special line Of goods or for the
use Of some travelling man. For some
reason or other the conditions may
change, so that perhaps only half OF the
cards are used. Being printed, they
cannot be used in any other way, and
the result Is that in nine cases out OF
ten they are consigned to the waste
basket, as the Government does not re-
deem uncanceled postal cards as 1t does
stamped envelopes.
A process has been discovered by
which all Of the printed matter may be
removed from the card, leaving 1t In
the same condition as when bought at
the postoff1ce. A charge Of y cent per
card is made for this work, or in other
words, a man sends 500 cards to be
made over" The man who does the
work charges $3.50 for his services,
and the customer saves $3.50, as. the
printed cards were Of no use to him.
The process by which this work Is ac-
compHshed Is not patented, as the in
ventor Is fearful that after the ingre-
dients become known, some one else
may change them enough to escape an
infringement, but at the same time OBJ,
tain the same result. The solution Is
made at night, after the factory hands
have gone home, and Is given them the
next day to use. The scheme has been
in operation for six months only, but
the inventor has letters from all parts
of the country from prominent busi-
ness houses, that have taken advantage
Of this offer to save 30 cents on the dol
lar, and he feels sure he has got a busi-
ness that, after 1t has become known,
will prove a good paying Investment

Good Roads aud Public Spirit.

A towns streets should be the pub
lie lawns and public parks. They
should be to the corporation as whole
what the grass plot in front of the
house is to the individual resident.
There is no higher evidence of the
taste and refinement, enterprise and
intelligence of q community, than
well-paved streets, bordered with fine
boulevards and handsome shade trees.
nl-kept, badly-laid-out streets speak
of public poverty and narrowness, an
utter absence of that spirit which
should possess every citizen loyal to
his towns interests aud wisely atten-
tive to his own. Public streets, sub
stantially paved and boulevarded,
will in turn encourage q similar treat
ment of the private property adioin-
ing them. There is no departure
which would so instill patriotism and
love of home and country as perfecting
our streets and highways. These
sentiments of the Ontario (Canada)
Commissioner of Roads, are as good
in the States as in the Dominion.

From the snbyersion Of the Roman
empire to the fourteenth or ffteenth
century women spent most Of their
time alone, almost entire strangers to

Of Henry VIII. Of England the peers
of the realm carried their wives behind

London, and in the same manner took
them back to their country seats, with
hoods of waxed linen over their heads,

GOOD ROADS NOTES.
Roads Need Constant Care.

A road is miserable just after ordi-
nary repairs are made on it; then it
becomes passable, and, finally, per-
haps, good for a time. After that it
deteriorates till it is wretched again,
and the process is repeated. BY re-
pairing a road annually, or at long
periods, it is strictly good at no time.
1t needs system of constant care and
repair.

Bran For Poultry.

Bran sis excellent for poultry and
one point in favor of bran is that it
contains much larger proportion Of
lime than any other cheap food derived
from grain, and as the shells of eggs
are composed of lime it is essential
that food rich in lime be provided. 1t
may be urged that the use Of oyster
shells will provide lime, but it will be
found that it is the lime in the food
that is most ssrviceable, because it is
in form that can be better digested
and assiuilatcd than carbonate of lime.
Glover is also rich in lime, and when
mass of cut clover and bran is given
the fowls they will need no oyster
shells or other mineral matter as q
source from which to provide lime for
the shells of eggs. Do not forget that
in summer, however, the use Of all
kinds OF foods should be made with
Judgment. If the hens have free
range give no food at oil rs long as
they are laying, but if they begin to
fall off let bran be Heading ingredient
of the foods allowed. In winter the
bran and clover is even more esser-
tial, as the fowls cannot then secure
green food on the range.-Fa-m News.

AnSora Goats.

Inc following was Written lor tue
Breeders Gazette by :. R. Standley,
of Taylor County, Iowa: PCre-bred
Angora goats are scarce. For killing
brush and weeds the grade goat is as
good as pure-breds. Grades are pro-
cured by using pure-bred bucks on
common goats. The first cross makes
but little hair-about three-quarters
of pound; the second cross about one
and half to two pounds; the third
cross about two to three pounds while
the fourth or fifth cross is for hair
about as good as spure-breds. Any one
desiring to make goat-breeding bust
ness for profit should buy grade does
and pure-bred bucks and continue to
breed to pure-bred bucks. The An
CORA goat-breeding business is much
the same as the cattle or hog business
hs regards blood. High-grade COWS
or sows, if bred to full -blooded sires,
are about as good las pure-breds for
beef or pork, but to breed to grade
sires is to go backward instead of on
and up.
! The pure-bred Angora varies much
in weight of fleece, running oil the
way from two and a half to ten pounds
per head. Of course these are ex-
Iemes. A good average fleece isfour
to five pounds. The hair is at this
time worth about fifteen cents to forty
cents per pound-this is grade hair; +;
pure-bred hair is worth from twenty
fivo to forty cents.
Angora goats mature about the same
time as sheep and require much the
same treatment. They breed about
the same-the time of CESSATION is the
same. The weight for grown does is
about seventy to eighty pounds-some
weigh more and some less. High
grade wethers attain weight of 100
pounds often and bunch of choice
ones will clip seven to ten pounds of
hair on an average each.
The Angora goat in fleece pays about
twenty per cent. more than sheep, and
for cleaning qualities there is no COM
pa-isoa betsean them.
Augoras ID sheep do we'll together
and never cross breed. They do not
d, well toge.aer IN winter tthe goats
tigas tho snesp), bUs when at pasture
thew are all riga. The goats eat
lsaves aad weeds in preference to
grass, thus removing the shade and
improving the pastures.
Angors goats are grown largely in
Southwestern Texas, in New Mexico,
California and Oregon. There have
been about 10, 900 distributed in Iowa
this season.
The meat Of the Angora is by many
thought to be nicer than mutton. The
wethers or does if fat sell better than
sheep, for the reason that the meat is
equal and the pelt is worth much
more. Angora goat pelts taken in No
kember or December are worth from
81 to $3.50 each and ore being worth
more every year as people learn their
uses.
