SELFISH MAN PUNISHED
Justice-Lovins Passengers
Much Joy.

Passengers on an Atlantic City train
few evenings ago were treated to spectacle
of retributlve justice that tickled them IA
mously. The car was crowded, and, as the
dust was flying pretty thickly, all the pas
senRers save one had their windows down.
Thisunpleasant exception was a disgruntled-
weedy looking whiskers, and these he el-
lowed to sway in and out of the window with
the gusty zephyrs. Of course, he got none
blow in thesseat directly behind. Two nicely
dressed women occupied these unfortunate
quarters, and, after suffering martyrdom for
about 20 minutes, one of them asked the
,'open:window fiend" if he would mind put
ting the window down. "No!'' he replied,
grufly. cts too warm. If you don't like it
change your seat"
In front of the man sat travelling man,
who took in the situation at glance. Quick
as fash he raised his window, and instant
er the flowing facial appendages of the man
behind began to perform most fearful Sc
ries of gyrations. The dust speckled them,
and the wind twisted them. Their owner,
after few moments of such violence, got
red in the face and then put his window
down. A few moments later he leaned over
and asked the other passengers to shut off
the draught in similar manner, but, to the
intense amusement and qualification of the
balance of the people in the car, who had
watched the little comedy all the way
through, the drummer, without so much as a
twinkle of the eye, replied: mo! It's too
warm. If you don't like it change your
seat!"-Philadelph Record.

Keep the Calves Separate.

In my experience, the best way to
grow calves when you want them to do
their own milking is to not let them
run with the cow, but let them take the
milk night and morning, having good
pasture for them near the barn or shed,
where they can come into the barn dur
ing the heat of the day. Have trough
there and put in fair ration of ground
oats and corn and it will not be many
days until they will have the trough
licked out nice and clean for you every
morning. Then keep right on with your
feed and you will not have to wean your
calves, but will have to wean your
cows, and by the time your calves are 16
to 20 months old they will weigh from
ten to twelve hundred pounds and will
bring you the top of the market. Short
horns are what I am talking about.
Your cows will be.in much better condi-
ton in the fall and will be more apt to
bring another calf next spring.-Wal-
lace's Farmer.

can be moved about the yard from time
to time and thus keep a nice pure
place for pigs to sleep, every time it
is moved using clean bedding, or rather
moving every time clean bedding is
used. Water is best supplied out in
the lots instead of in the feed room,
as hogs will keep the feed room more
or less filthy if water is supplied there,
if they can get TO it to wal
low. A small cistern or well is located
in storage room from which under
ground pipes may extend to the sew
eral lots. In making fences between
lots do not make them more than three
or four boards high, just SO man can
straddle over them comfortably. This
you will find very convenient in look
ing after your hogs. The outside fence
may be higher if other stock have ac-
cess to pens and are likely to jump.
Two and half feet is high enough for
all inside fences. - Orange Judd

Food of the Brood Mare

The mare with foal should have
plenty of nutritious food, but it should
not be the kind that promotes the ac-
emulation of fat. The foal is devel-
oped through the feed to the dam, and
for that Developments, needed the class
OF feeding stuff that builds up it's
frame. Aside from that it is not we'll
for the foal for the mare to have much
fat,sas there is with such condition
often certain tendency to feverish
state~which would prevent the foal
from receiving healthy support. Let
the feed contain but little corn, con-
sisting mostly of oats, bran and good
roughage. just before the time of foal-
ing the feed should have a somewhat
laxative effect, and at the same time
should have the constituents that pro-
mote milk produce ion. Texas Stock

is put over the first to cover the edge
Of the netting, and to leave room for
groove for the sliding door, G, on the

CONVENIENT PIG HOUSE.
The Plan Here illustrated Can he
b Adapted to Suit the Size and
n Condition OF Any Herd.

Concerning a modern up-to-date hog
house costing 5000 or more, large
enough to accommodate 40 or SO, would
say that in building pigpens, like every
thing else, the best is always cheapest.
The plan shown herewith needs but lit
tie explanation, as it can be construct
ed according to the means at the build
er's command and it can. be made to
suit the size of ones herds You could
easily construct a four-rOom feeding
house on this plan out of good dressed
lumber for less than $500, especially
if you are able to do your own car
penter work. When as many as 40 or
so hogs are to be kept they always do
better if kept in different pens accord
ing to size and age. It is also neces-
sary that different aged animals be
fed different ration for best and most
satisfactory results, and this can only
be done when we have our hogs prop
erly graded and separated One thing
we would have in making hog house
and that is a concrete floor. Any other
floor is objectionable in some way. All
kinds of wooden floors make bad rat
harbors unless they are built up high
off the ground, and in most cases they
soon begin to decay and make pens I'M
healthy. By letting the concrete extend
out to the walls all round no rats can do
any damage and you can scrape or
wash out your house as clean as jug
at any time. The cost of concrete
floor may be little more than wood
to start with, but it is cheapest in the
end. .
Let the sleeping rooms be made like
a lean-to, roof sloping just one way
and facing the south if possible. In
these we would have no floor. They

Fresh Water for Fowls.

If food is not furnished the hen in
her own domain, she will go hunting
and soon find enough to keep her busy,
but she is not so successful in getting
water to drink. The farmer or his wife
will usually provide some feed, but
'*biddy' many times takes her chances
to find water. Yet chemists state that
81 per cent. of the egg is water. In view
of this, fowls to- lay well must be fur
nished with an abundance of fresh wa
ter. Drinking vessels should be thor
oughly cleansed every day, and if pos
sible so made that the hens cannot
stand in them. In winter these drink
ing vessels should be emptied at night
to prevent freezing. It is advisable to
give fowls a warm drink in the morning
when they first come from the roosts,
as at this time they usually drink free
". If you will practice this, the hens
will come for water as quickly as for
feed. Maine Farmer.

STANDARD VARIETIES.
Why Farmers Should Select Their
Poultry from Breeds Known
to BE Satisfactory.

Z. F. McGraw, in the Reliable Poultry
Journal, sounds the note of alarm by
asking this pertinent question: 'Will
we ever perfect few good varieties, or
will we continue to drift into new?''
This is, indeed, serious question and
one of vital Importance to. practical
poultry breeders everywhere, COM
ments the Southwestern Farmer. The
question plainly stated is, will we re-
tain the practical features of poultry
culture or drift into exclusive fancy?
In the past decade there have been
many new varieties introduced, and
among them all there are none with
more good qualities, or that have
proven more profitable to the practical
breeders than those we had before. If
all the effort and money spent booming
new breeds had been directed toward
the improvement of the old varieties it
might not be necessary now for breed
ers to want to remove color and other
Disqualification from the standard.
They practically admit they cannot
breed them true and want authority to
conform the standard to their flock.
1t is true that many who are merely
"fanciers' have made money from new
varieties, but there are none who have
succeeded in bringing more desirable
points than existed in the old breeds.
Brown Leghorns are superior in every
way to the buff, but there has been
thousands invested in this variety, and
may add, there are hundreds of disap.
pointed breeders, also. The same may
be said of nearly any of the new ones.
Farmers, especially, will find it to
their interest to make their selection of
breeds from the old standard varieties
and thus avoid the trouble that will
surely follow in attempting to breed
any of the new additions to anywhere
hear the standard requirements.
Let us perfect few varieties first,
increase their laying qualities and
size, and greater profits will be realized
than from any other course.
We are now neglecting breeds which
have merit and looking for something
new and of uncertain value, from q
practical standpoint.

PLAYFUL HARBOR SEALS.
Antics in Their Pool at the aquarium
-One Seal Learning from
the Other.

Nellie, the larger of the two harbor
seals at the Aquarium, long ago devel-
oped in her play very pretty Juggling
trick, which consists in tossing things
on her whiskers, the bristles that pro-
ject from the sides of her nose like
cats whiskers. She would find floating
IN the water a fragment of fish skin
that had become detached from the
pieces of cut-up fish fed to the seals as
food, and juggle that, putting her head
under it in the water in such a man
ner as to get the whiskers on one side
under it, and then bearing the scrap up
on them and balancing it on them.
After awhile she would throw her head
up and toss the scrap over and catch it
on the whiskers on the other side and
balance it there for time, and then,
perhaps, toss it back; and sometimes
she would take the scrap between her
teeth and toss it up and catch it on her
nose or whiskers and then juggle it
about in like manner. Now the smaller
of the two seals in this pool has taken
up the juggling trick, having appar.
emily copied it from Nellie. The lit
tie one, indeed, appears to be learning
all of NelIie's tricks.
One thing that they both do is to
straighten themselves out in the wa
ter and then begin to turn like spin.
die. When one of the seals gets to
turning in this manner it turns so
rapidly that it seems to elongate, and
it's rotation is so rapid that it's eyes
cannot be distinguished. They both
turn somersaults in the water, both
forward and backward. For general
skylarking they are both alike, swim.
ming and dashing about with remark.
able swiftness, jumping almost clean
out of the water.
Another form of play that they have
is to make rings of themselves and
whirl around. In this play the seals
bend themselves pretty nearly into a
hoop and chase their tail flippers
around, just as a kitten would chase
it's tail, round and round, and every
now and then one of the seals will get
one of its tail flippers in it's mouth.
