How the Boy Escaped.

A young man was tried for murder,
having killed member of a rival fac
ton in a faction fight (writes Aubrey
de We're in his "Recollections"O The
Judge, reluctant to sentence him to
death, on account of his youth, turned
to him and said: "Is there any one
in court who could speak as to your
character" The youth looked round
the court, and then said, sadly: There
is no man here, my lord, that I know"
At that, my grandfather CHANGED to
walk into the grand jury gallery. He
saw at once how matters stood. He
called out: "You are queer boy that
don't know friend when you see
hint" The boy was quick-witted; he
answered: ooh, then, it is myself that
is proud to see your honor here this
day!'' well" said the judge, "Sir
We're, since you know that boy, will you
tell us what you know of him." Il
will, my lord" said my grandfather,
land what I can tell you is this-that
from the very first day that ever / saw
him to this minute, never knew any
thing that was not good" The old
tenant ended his tale by striking his
hands together and exclaiming: "And
he never to have clapped his eye on the
boy till that minute!" The boy es-
capped being hanged.

The Garden as a Help.

1t is the women folks who best appre-
ciate the garden, for it is they who
have to provide the variety Of food re-
quired oy their families, including too
often one or more hired men. Nothing
so much helps to provide varied diet
as good garden. In the earliest spring
there will be lettuce, radishes and
onions from sets, and then in order will
follow asparagus, peas, beans, sweet
corn, intermixed with which will be alR
kinds of roots, most of which are bet
ter gathered when small, from the thin
nings of the main crop, than If left to
grow until fall, when they will lose the

Hog Raising.

It is neither profitable nor always en-
tirely safe to keep great numbers Of
hogs together. Besides the liability to
disease getting among them, there is
always a certainty that the stronger
will crowd the weaker from their feed
ing places, so that the inequality in
size will increase instead Of decreasing.
I'm every litter there are always one or
two weaklings that We're born runts,
and unless given better chance than
their fellows they will always remain
runts. The best way to manage this is
when the pigs are or weeks old, take
out the strongest ones and wean them,
giving them plenty of the best food that
can be got to make growth. Then the
runts left to suckle the SOW alone will
in two or three weeks more take start
that may make them as good as the
others, so that in later life all can be
fed together. No other feed, without
the sow's milk, will 90 this, though
such other feed should be given and
the pigs be encouraged to eat all they
can be made to eat.-American Guilt

Overlooked Crop,

A great many suggestions have been
made in favor of renovating the land,
and to secure improvement at small
cost by blowing under green crops. Of
the crops recommended may be men
toned clover, COW peas, sofa beans, rye
and even corn and millet. There is an
other crop, however, which has been
somewhat overlooked, and which can
be grown on almost any soil, and that
is turnips. The turnip crop need not be
planted until July, or even August,
and it grows rapidly, being off the land
in a short time. On medium land from
thirty to forty tons can be grown, and
the tops are more valuable than the
bulbs for turning under. The English
farmers grow turnips, allow sheep to
feed on them, and turn them under as
a manurial crop. Turnips may be broad
casted on well-prepared land, using
plenty of seed, and will soon cover the
ground. Crops are grown in that way
in the Southern States, and the cost is
but little, as they require no cultivation
when the seed Is broadcasted.

Seeding Strawberries.


The amateur fruit gardener may find
in the production of Seeding strawber-
ries an occupation Of fascinating inter
est. 1t may be easily done. At fruit
ing time select the best berries from
plants of the best varieties Obtainable.
Crush the berries and carefully wash
out and dry the seed. Plant the seed
In a protected spot, in rich ground, par
TALLY shady. Transplant the most
promising plants after the fourth leaf
appears, and afterward cultivate them
the same as other plants. Probably
there will be no two plants exactly
alike. They will differ in foliage, fruit,
time of maturing, and in the manner OF
their growth. They may bear but
slight resemblance to the plants that
produced the seed. There may be no
variety better than that from which 1t
originated. And yet there may be one
new Seeding Of superior quality, to OBJ
tain which may richly reward the
efforts of years.

HER OPINION OF HIM.
A Lawyer Who Was Caught Up With for

Once.
If there is anything exasperating in
this life it Is the lawyer who delights
to bullyrag and otherwise despitfully
use witness, more particularly when
that witness is woman. 1t is on this
account that there is a general rejoic-
ing when that kind of an attorney is
smote hip and thigh by one of his sup
posedly helpless victims. Of such is
the following tale:
The woman was on the stand and she
was very nice-mannered respectable
woman, who kept a cheap boarding
house, and it was the desire of one of
her guests to be dishonest that had
brought her to the court to make him
pay his board bill
"How old did you say you were,
madam" inquired the lawyer, with no
reason on earth, for an elderly lady is
no more anxious to lose a board bill
than a young one.
II did not say, SIR" she responded,
flushing to the roots of her hair.
"Will you be kind enough to say,
MADAME"
"It's none of your business
"Objection sustained" smiled the
court.
"Um," said the lawyer, rubbing his
chin, "how much did you say the
amount was the defendant owed you?"
twenty-five dollars"
"And for how long was that?"
Give weeks
That's five dollars week, isn't it?

Give weeks at five dollars per week

The witness was patient but her tenn
per was not improved under the strain.
isn't that an extravaganza price to
pay for board in that locality, madam
inquired the attorney, severely.
HE didn't pay it, sir" answered the
worm, beginning to turn.
The lawyer gave little start of sur
prise, then became indignant at the
very thought of a witness talking like
that.
stand, madam" he said, assuming a
tone of warning. "This is serious
matter, madam. I have asked if your
prices were not exhorbitant and you
have seen fit to answer lightly, madam.
Now, madam, ask you in all earnest
ness if you mean to tell this court that
your prices are moderate and that it |
should come to your house to board you
would charge me five dollars week?
Answer directly, madam and the at
torney sat back in his chair and as
sumed an imperial manner.
The witness was not at all abashed.
"No, sir" she said, simply, II would

II thought not, thought not" in
terrupted the attorney, bending over
and rubbing his hands.
"No, SIR" continued the witness, 81
would not charge you at all. I would
make you pay in advance"
Then the court forgot it's dignity and
everybody laughed except the attorney.

days after being planted. They can be

Gates in Place of Bars.

A gate that easily swings ON its
hinges is not much more expensive in
first cost than a set of bars. If all the
put them UP again is reckoned, the bars
must be seen to be much the most ex-
pensive. When stock are driven
through bars let down on one side only,
stock driven Through will often jump
over the part of the bar in the midle,
and will thus learn the habit Of jump
ing. When a gate swings open it
leaves clear passage, and the contrac-
ton of bad habits is impossible.

While there is no food that is better

1t is much too expensive to feed to any

are to be raised, whole milk Is much too
