A PAINT MANS STORY.
He Had u Line of Lies That Was Good
Enough to String Most
Anybody.

This drummer travels for paint house
and as it was up to him he told the fol-
lowing:
Il am organizing a new stock company,
and l am going to pass up the travelling
business and go to clipping coupons for
living. L was in Mexico not long ago. l
think it was the trip before last, when I
ran across the most remarkable thing in
the paint line that | have ever seen. was
riding through the most forlorn bit of
country that it has ever been my misfor-
tune to be cast into. | came to little
noticed that although it was adorned with
a coat of red paint, the paint seemed to
have been nailed on. Inside found little
man working with mortar and pestle. |
asked him about the house and most par
ticularly about the paint: He then told me
that he was an inventor; that ten years
before he had invented what he called as
bestos paint-a paint that would not burn.
He built house and laid on thick coat
of his newly-found preparation. Shortly
afterward the interior of the house caught
fire and burned up entirely, leaving the
paint standing. After he had cleared away
the debris, he spread big canvas where
the shingled roof had been and lived COM
fortably inside the four walls of paint for
three years. He then accumulated enough
money to build up the house inside the
paint again. He did so and nailed the paint
on to secure the interior of the house from
falling down. L have lived in it as you
see it ever SINCE he said. How would
you like to buy some slices of stock in my
invention?'
81 Immediately bargained for New Hamp-
shire, Vermont, North Dakota and Michi-
gan and am now organizing my company.
Can l sell you some shares of stock or
even some territory"
While the remainder of the company were
looking for their weapons, the paint man
made good his escape.-Detroit Free Press.

The Curing of Cheese,

At the New York state dairy meeting
Prof. III. HI. Dean, of the Ontario Agri-
cultural college, said that cheese is
only about half made when on the cur
ing shelf. Curing is a fermenting proc
ess, and the temptation is to hurry it
too much. He advised taking sufficient
time to ripen it properly, and this
could be done only by the control of
heat. He would locate the curing room
on the north side of the building, and
away from drains or sources of bad
odors. 1t should be entirely insulated.
He would construct the floors and walls
so as to have an air space all around it,
and provide it with double windows and
doors. The cost of building room of
this kind would be from $12O to $3.50, ac-
cording to size.

A COSTLY ERROR.
The Merchant Thought the Assessor
Was q Representative of
Bradstreets.

One of the lawyers says that a client of
his is the hero of this story, and that it
happened here within year or two. A
man from the assessors office went into
the store of a Hebrew merchant in the
pursuit of his duties. The two had slight
acquaintance, so that the assistant asses
sor did not think it necessary to explain his
business. He was rather surprised when,
in answer to his questions, the storekeeper
proceeded to dilate on the value of his stock.
DE finest in any store of de size in de city.
1t isn't wort a cent less than $1,000"
Suppose l put it down at that, them"
said the assessors man.
''Do it. Do it." said the proprietor. eyer
Won't maig no mistake
So the assessors man did it. There was
lamentation in the store when the tax bill
showed the proprietor that he was taxed
on $1,000 personal, and he rushed over to
the assessors Office with all possible speed.
'Vat ISIS dis? Vat ISIS dis?' he asked
them, excitedly. 81 have no personal but de
stock in my store. I'm liar if it's wort
$500. Come down and look it ofer.'
They told him that the records showed
that he had given the figure to the as
sistant assessor.

ror. my goodness, my goodness" he
shouted. "Vas dat your man? l thought
he vas from Bradstreet' s."-Worcester Ga

GREAT LEGAL VICTORY.
Value of an Honored Trade Name Up
held by the United States
Circuit Court.

The California Fig Syrup Co., of San
| Francisco, has just won legal victory
| which is of utmost public interest, as it
| establishes judicially a fact long recog-
| nized officially that the name or the
| title of an article is valuable property,
| entitled to the same protection as chat
tells or commercial paper. The COM
pany mentioned manufactures an ex-
cellent laxative which has been extern
sively advertised and acquired valu-
able reputation under the name Syrup
of Figs" or Zig Syrup" Trading on
the reputation of this remedy other
manufacturing concerns applied the
same name to laxative medicines made
| by them. The California Fig Syrup
Co. took the matter in the United States
| courts and obtained a permanent in
junction, of which the following is the
text:
sit is thereupon ordered, adjudged and
decreed, that the injunction and restrain
| ing order heretofore made herein be con-
| tinued until final decree herein, and to that
end that an injunction be issued as prayed
| for in the bill of complaint herein, strictly
commanding and enjoining the defendants,
Clinton E. Worden & Company, corpora
| ton, j. A. Bright T. F. Bacon, E. Little,
c. j. Schmelz and Lucius Little, and each
and all of them, their and each and all of
their agents, employees, workmen, serv-
ants, attorneys and counSelors, from max
ing, using or selling any liquid laxative
| medicine, marked with the name Syrup
of Figs or Fig Syrup or any colorado
imitation of the same; from making, using
or selling any laxative medicine put up in
boxes, wrappers or cartons, having on the
same the name Syrup of Figs or Fig
Syrup or any colorado imitation Of the
same; from making, using or selling any
liquid laxative medicine put up in boxes,
wrappers or cartons, so as to be like the
cartons, wrappers or boxes used by COM
plainant in connection with the liquid lax
ative medicine made by it, or so as to be
a colorado imitation of the cartons marked
Exhibit A, and filed in this case, being a
| carton, box or wrapper used by complain
ant for it's liquid laxative medicine, marked
and named Syrup of Figs or Fig Syrup;
from making, using or selling any box,
wrapper or carton as a wrapper or case for
liquid laxative medicine, bearing upon it
the figure of a branch Of fig tree with
leaves and fruit, and surrounded by the
words in a circle San Francisco Syrup of
Figs Company, San Francisco, Cal.,' or any
similar words or figures, or any colorado
imitation of such a symbol or mark or
from making use of, in any way, in connec-
ton with a liquid laxative medicine the

any name whereof the words Fig Syrup
Co.. or Syrup of Figs Co. form part as
business name of a company, or con-
Germ, or corporation engaged in the bust
ness of making and selling a laxative med
icine."
This decision is of far-reaching i'm
portance to all manufacturers whose
products bear recognized title, as we'll
as protection to the public whose con-
fdence naturally rests in large meas
ure upon the name of the goods it buys.

Teaching Calves to Lead.

1t is often great inconvenience when
it is found that grown cow cannot be
led, but must be driven. The accom-
piishment is one that should always he
acquired in calfhood, and once learned,
it will never be forgotten. If there is
any pulling back while the calf is being
taught its first lesson, some one behind
to urge it forward will be needed, and
may be turn of the rope around the
animals nose, so as to make a halter
of it, will be advisable to prevent the
calf breaking away from the leader A
hole bored through the nose and ring
inserted will make the teaching of the
calf to be led still easier. The ring in
the nose is often great convenience as
the animal grows older.

SHE GOT IT.
But 1t Took the Bystanders t.
See the HumOr of the
Situation.

A lot of people were present at an auction
sale of japanese goods the other day.
''How much am | bid for this exquisite
vase?" asked the auctioneer, holding it
above his head.
''One dollar" responded an elderly lady,
sitting in one of the front seats.
That's shame" cried the man with the
hammer. This vase, as a work of art, is
worth four times the sum. Why, look at it.
Will an intelligent audience allow such a
sacrifce"
"A dollar and a quarter" came in the
same woman's voice.
'Well, well, well! Can't you see that this
is treasure, and you stand here and allow
it to be given away for such a paltry sum-"
"a dollar and a half" Again it was the
same bidder speaking.
"a dollar and half! The very ideal"
CALCULATED the auctioneer. 81 never saw the
like. Come, good people, what is the mean
ing of this? One of the mikado's special
designs sighted in such manner! 1t is
reflection on your TASTE"
"A dollar seventy-fve," said the solitary
bidder
Il cannot let it go for that" was the
mans reply. 1T is too costly, too precious,
and too rare in pattern. Wake up, or I'll
put it back in the box"
Two dollars" the woman said.
"Well, it doesn't seem as if | can get any
more, so here goes. Two dollars-once,
twice, three times! Sold to lady there at
that shameful figure"
The lady stepped up, paid for and received
her vase, and departed, apparently without
noticing the smiles of the audience.-Cin-

Clay Soil for Pears.

1t is universally agreed that heavy
clay soil is best for the pear. There are
various reasons for this, the principal
one being that clay soil is always rich
in mineral fertilizers, while a sandy or
gravelly soil is deficient in this kind of
plant food. But the clay SOIL though
rich in phosphates and potash, may not
have them in available form, and may
need a dressing in spring of these min
erals in available form. Trees on clay
may need dressings of available potash
and phosphate in the years when the
tree is bearing. On sandy soil the pear
tree always needs these manures. The
pear roots deeply, so that it is never
affected by droughts, and in clay soils
it doubtless draws mineral fertilizers
from the subsoil below where the roots
of grain and other crops usually grow.
1t is a great mistake to allow the tap
root of pear tree to be cut off before
it is transplanted.-Ame Guilt

ENSILAGE-FED COWS.
Without Them Winter Dairying Cam
not BE Made u Success Any
where Nowadays.

Those who raise ensilage-fed herds
invariably have decided advantage
over the farmer who confines his atten-
ton entirely to dry fodder and grain.
But on the other hand, there are farm
ers who do not make the ensilage sue
cess because of lack of proper study of
economy in feeding or generally poor
management of the whole dairy farm.
The comparison of such man with
first-class dairyman who believed in dry
fodder and grain is not fair. There are
plenty of good farmers to-day making
a success with herds that are fed en-
tirely on dry fodder, cornmeal, bran
and similar grains. They are too con-
sentative to take up the silo, or they are
willing to let well enough alone. But
because they make a success in their
present work it does not follow that
they would not make even more profits
by adopting the silo. Let such progress
sive farmers give the silo all the care
and attention they give to their present
system of feeding, and if they fail they
might be justified in casting discredit
upon the silo.
1t is practical to raise all the ensilage
needed for feeding dairy herd of al
most any size, and then if the silo is
properly filled the results will be more
than satisfactory. We are certainly
coming to the time when every dairy
farm of 20 or more cows will have it's
silo, and it will be an exception to the
rule not to find one on a farm. 1t is on
a par with our present systems of cold
storage for preserving food in the
cities for the human race. We find that
this not only adds to the pleasures of
eating, but it improves the health of the
nation to have green things right
through the winter and summer
months. We should in the same way
consider the cows on whose health and
good flow of milk so many of us are de-
pendent. Winter dairying can never be
carried on as it should until the silo is
built and filled. Now is the time to con-
slider and prepare for next winter if
the herd is expected to give the results
desired. There is no easier way to in
crease the winter supply of milk than
to have and feed plenty of ensilage.-E.
z. Smith, in American Cultivator.

FOREST RESERVES.
Outline of n System Which would
Give Direct and Indirect Ben
Gifts to Agriculture.

If we admit that forestry is profitable
it is desirable to develop the best plan
of forest reservation, system which
would at the same time insure the per-
sonal interest in the forests themselves
by the people of the district and all the
direct and indirect benefits to agrlcul-
ture which the forest could give.
Were it desirable to reserve one-half
of the good tillable land in forests, then
with homesteads of quarter section
each the reservation of alternate 40
acres would enable the forests to most
completely protect the farming lands
and at the same time place the wooded

ARRANGEMENT OF FOREST RE
SERVES.

acres so as TO make the least danger
from the spread of forest fires, as
shown in Fig. 2.
Should it be practicable to reserve
only one-quarter of the tillable land in
forest areas, then with quarter section
homesteads the reservation which
would secure the most equitable dis
tribution of forest influence and leave
the woods themselves at least danger
from fire would be to reserve the north
east quarter of the northwest quarter
and the southeast quarter of the north
east quarter in the north half of every
section, and the southwest quarter of
the southeast quarter of the south half
of the same section, as shown in Fig. /.
Then if systematic forestry is at all
worthy of encouragement by the state,
one simple method of doing so would be
to make certain requirements of the
owners of the land, and as a compensa-
ton for these requirements exempt the
forested areas from taxation for a peri
cd of 20 or 40 years as seemed most de-
sirable,, on condition that the require
ments are fulfilled. Such a system
would decrease the cost of the forest
crop, which is necessarily large on ac-
count of the great length of time re-
quired to bring it to aturity.-Ameri-
can Agricuiturist.
