grand larceny which was sworn out by

Squires on an eight-acre piece of land at
Fruitiands, had cut certain trees alleged by
Squire to be worth 800. A subsequent dis
agreement resulting in an abandonment OF
the lease by Priore had caused Squire to

question was how to get that fish down to

about o'clock at night and changed the

to be sick | went to the old Bull Head

it. I never made such an offer, he said,
and more than that, it won't weigh five

weigh five pounds.
"'Well anyway said Barnum, you bring
it around tomorrow morning, and if it is
alive I'll pay you Sl25.'

think about it. The fish was dying. |

 which is neither in keeping with Ter dignity as a royal princess, nor with her status as wife and a mother O. young children. For the first time since her marriage she has quilted her husband, and has been staying at vari- Ou5 German watering places. where her eccentrici;ies, and especially her readiness to embark upon an exceed ingiy rapid irritation with every good locking man she encountered, have aroused no end of talk at the various European courts, and serve to still fur ther embittar the quarrel which has taken place between herself and her husband. In fact one would almost l;e tempted to believe that she is resolved to give her husband some real cause for jealousy, since it was his renloI- stra1ces as to her conduct that led her to quit Eo;lnania quite as suddenly and as senSationallE as when her sis ter, the grand duchess of Hesse. bolted year ago from Darmstadt, after 2. viO- tent quarrel with the grand duke.
 King Charles sides with his nephew in these matrimonial differences, while Queen Elizabeth, better known by her pen name as Carmen Sylva,' who has never liked the crown princess. is Of course delighted with the opportr;ll- ity Of pointing out to the crown prince how very much happier he would have been if he had married her maid Of honor, Helene Vacarescu, whom he was compelled by the king to jilt un- der the pain of forfeiting his rights Of succession to the throle.

GEESE FOR MARKET.
A Branch of the Poultry Business
which Possesses n Number of
Special Advantages.

If there is abundant pasturage little
other food is required, as a goose de-
ponds largely upon grass for susten-
ance during the summer months. Dur
ing winter there should be some in
closure or protection provided, and
the geese should be fed twice day.
Shredded hay or silage is suitable,
giving corn at least once a day or so.
If geese are fed too much grain it
will induce laying too early in the sea-
son and the eggs will probably not be
fertile. Geese seek mates in February.
Among the many varieties we think
the Emblem, African and Toulouse are
most profitable. a good cross is OBJ
tanned by mating an African gander
with Embden geese. The cross secures
better layers and the color of the flesh
is improved. The green goose" as
the goose is styled when about four
months old, is in demand in the mar
kets if fattened nicely. Sometimes
Young geese are sent to market at two
months old, if of good size and well

KEEP FENCES TIGHT.
A Good Part of the Injury to stock
from Dnrbs Is Due Almost
Altogether to Neglect.

One of the most common causes OF
breachy animals on the farm is poor
fences, and we may go further and say
that good part of the injury to stock
from barbed wire fences, is due to n
poor condition of the fence. The
wires get loose and sag down, and
stock get tangled up in them and in
iure themselves much worse than they
would if the fences were kept up prop
erly. Low tumble down fences are a
constant temptation to stock to
break over, and once they get started
it will be much more difficult to re-
strain. The safest plan in all cases is
to keep the fences in good condition.
especially those around the pastures.
If the stock are to be changed CON
stantly from one pasture or field to
another, provide good gates, as lay
ing the fences part way down and
compelling the animals to jump over
what is left up, is giving them the first
lessons in jumping or becoming
breachy. If an animal seems inclined
to he brcachy, get rid of it as soon as
possible, as one mischieyous or breachy
animal on the farm will soon teach
the greater part of the others to be
like them. With wire fences properly
built. care being taken TO have strong
corner posts well braced, it is not
much work to keep them in good con-
dition. But no matter what kind Of
fences there may be on the farm it is
good plan to go over them every few
weeks and see that they are kept in
good repair.-prairie Farmer.
