not produce seed abundantly.
The Colman, also a cross between
Early Amber and Kansas Orange, is
generally preferred because it produces
canes of good size, not tall, with juice
Of good quality.
Variety 161 originated in cross be-
tween Early Amber and Links Hybrid.
1t is slender, which is fault derived
from Links Hybrid. 1t ripens rather
early, much earlier than Links Hy brid.
Its juice remains good ordinarily long
after the canes are ripe, though stand
ing uncut in the field The juice has on
an average as large content of sugar as
the average juice Of Louisiana sugar
cane and much less glucose or uncrys-
tallizable sugar.
Folger's Early is also cross between
Early Amber and Links Hybrid. 1t
ripens not long after Early Amber and
remains good standing uncut in the
field much longer than Early Amber. 1t
yields more cane and more seed per acre
than Early Amber. 1t is considered the
best early maturing variety for general
planting.
The Early Amber variety, quick
maturing cane, is liked better in the
north than in the south. 1t is the best
variety for early ripe cane or for late
planting and for sections in which the
growing season is very short.

SiIo Building.

In the course Of series of articles
on silos and ensilage in the Ohio Farm
er John Gould gives concise and clear
directions for building the now popular
round silo. He says:
In setting up stave silo it is neces-
sary to make staging, so that it will
nearly conform to the cylindrical form
Of the silo. To do this it is best to set
four posts solid in the ground close to
the outside Of the silo and mount on
this a frame, as shown in Fig. of the
first cut This can be readily made of
16 feet boards, with the corner boards,
as shown.
Make the inside measure of this
frame just as large as the outside d.

No Use For the Alligator.

The colored prisoners in the peniten-
tiary are acquainted with the habits
of crocodiles and fully realize that they
relish a pickaninny. Under these cir
cumstances they are not anxious to
make the acquaintance Of crocodile
that inhabits the fountain of the pris-
on. The other day one Of them who
had committed some offense was taken
to the cellar to be punished. After he
had been blindfolded one of the men
called out to the other, keep that al
ligator back or he will bite this man."
That caused the colored man to COM
mence to plead, and he said, go de
Lord, Mr. Deputy, eff yOuse let me so,
III neber come back here ag'in."
But you told me that the other
time" replied the deputy.
But dis is de time I tells you de
truf, and neber Will come back ag'in."
On leaving the tub he declared that
the animal had bitten him few times,
Notwithstanding the fact that the croc-
odile had been in the fountain all the
time. The colored man has kept his
word up to date, but he is liable to
soon forget the lesson of the crocodile
that is the deadly enemy of the colored
men in the south.-Columbu Dispatch.

A woman's Bluff.

OF course you know the story of the
woman who heard two men at a hotel
table discussing her very impertinent-
ly in German, whercupon she very po-
litely asked one of them for the salt in
German. It's very old story, and
sometimes the language Is French, and
the salt is Left out, but the story is the
same, and goodness only knows how
many writers, from Howells up and
from Howells down, have told it with
variations. So old it Is that when q
woman | know began to tell it to me
the other day as personal experience
felt the joy that one feels at meeting
anew an old friend.

two men sat opposite me. OF course
knew they were talking about me. I'd
have known 1t even If they had
been speaking Sanskrit, which they
weren't. They were gossiping in Ger

then | dropped my purse. One of the
men instantly picked it up. Thank
YOU said in German. My dear, If
you could have seen those mems faces!
They didn't say another word for six
blocks"
But what were they saying about
you"
"Oh," said she cheerily, II haven't
an idea. don't know one word Of
German but Thank you"
And wonder If the woman in the
story who asks for the salt--well, per-
haps her request, too, was what in the
vernacular one calls bluff. WV

piller.
| got 'em all SO mixed up that ]
never did get 'em straitened out.
Once on one corner two fellers
was tryin' to get the same piller.
They was comm like creased
lightnin' one from one way and
one from the other, and the way
they come together was caution.
Down they went into the dust and
most ruined their clothes but l
wasn't a mite sorry for 'em for
there was two more pillers besides
the one they was runnin' for and
believe in totin' fair enyway.
From what could see it looked
like if they didn't get on a piller
somebody would hit 'em with the
ball so they had to run from one
to another while the ball was goin.
Every once in while the crowd
would yell like they was goin'
wild, but | couldn't tell what it
was all about.
The folks around me talked like
the game was gettin pretty close
and directly slim sort of a chap
hit that ball and away he went.
He ran to the first piller then to
the second and everybody KEEP
yellin "go on, go on" SO he start
ed up again and run to the third
piller and the people KEEP yellin
and he KEEP runnin till he got back
where he started from. Some
thing had gone wrong with the
ball was the reason he had run so
far. 1t KEEP bumpin along on the
ground and when q feller standin
off by himself tried to get it he
stumped his toe or got over bal
lanced or something and he
couldn't get it back in time.
That man had jest as well a run
some more as not but he didn't
and the way the folksyelled was
something awful. l lidn't jest
like for the man to get yelled at
that way because he couldn't get
that ball but from some cause it
broke up the game or they was
ready to quit anyway. Am / goin
again? Well ] am. I wouldn't
miss the next game for ten cents.
don't know what its all about
but I'm goin till find out.

men all dressed up and looking as
pretty as a clock.
And lot of fellers was inside
of the ring, | suppose you would
call it a ring, all dressed up in up
holstered knee pants. They
throwed the ball and ketched it
and run around the ring till l be-
gan to get some interested tryin'
to find out what they was doin',
when if you'll believe nee they
was runnin' and throwin' in the
hot sun jest for fun. Directly they
commenced scatterin' around all
over the place. One of them got
ball and another one got bat
and another one put an uphol-
stored front on and wire cage of
some kind on his head and got be-
hind the feller with the bat. |
couldn't see what he was so fixed |
up for till / see how close the bat |
would come to hittin' him after |
they got to playin.' You know
how a lick in the stummick will |
lay feller out and when | see that
| was powerful glad he bad put it
on. While | was still lookin'
round slick lookin felier standin'
behind the man with the ball hol-
Tered "play bali" Then they be-
gan. The man with the ball sud-
denly jerked up his foot and COM
menced to draw up in the most
painful manner till | thought he
was took violently sick, when all
of student jest as he got about
straitened out that ball flew over
to the feller a holdin' of the bat
and the upholstered feller ketched
it. The slick lookin' feller in the
ring hollers out, one ball. | sup
pose he was the feller that KEEP
one they call the en-
pire.
The man got his ball back and
went through all them twistins
and turnins again and the feller at
the bat struck vicious and power
full at it but missed it fair and
square. The slick lookin' feller
vells out, one strike. l expected
% see trouble right there for
everybody could see as plain as
lay that the man hadn't struck
hat ball at all. l had heard a
rood deal about how they would
beat up the empire when he didn't
