LUMBER MARKET.

While the demand from Texas retailers
has not perceptibiy mproved-probably on
account OF continued bad weather--there
has been good inquiry from the North
west, and with open weather the belief Is
generally held that the expected rush OF
orders would promptly materiallae. A num-
Der Of orders for large quantities have been
submitted with prices attached, and ms,
In some cases, the figures were not consid-
cred large enough, they were declined.
There has been weakness In the markets
of the Missouri river country for some
time, and as a result this section has not
been selling to any considerable extent in
that territory, but II Is noticeable that the
prices now offered are an advance upon
those heretofore prevailing. But as stocks
are not increasing at any point In the
Southern Pacific district. manufacturers are
not inclined to sell at a low figure. Timber
and tie orders continue to come in. and
the variety of saw bills is leaving little to
go upon the yards. There has been an
Improvement In the export demand. and
two or three cargoes have been accepted
by mills In this vicinity.
Shingles are moving slowly. but there
has been no cut in prices.

THE CLUB DANCE.

The Dixie Social club gave Its second
dance at the city hall last, night, and
though the unusually cold weather and
disagreeably damp streets prevented a
large attendance, the affair was pleasant
and highly enjoyed by participants. Tho
programme consisted largely Of waltzes
and two-steps. but there was a cotillion,
led by Mr.. G. r. Bone and Miss Ada
Stone, which was pronounced exceptionally
delightful. Four figures, all new TO those
present, were introduced. but owing TO the
quick perception and tact OF Miss Stone
each was danced perfectly and whetted the
appetite for the big german which will be
given by the club next month. Those pres
eDt were Misses Elba de Blanc OF Liberty,
Ada Stone, Minnie Malcolm, Sihble Hebert,
pirgie Cummings. Lizzettc Caswell, Edna

COUNT YOUR CHANGE.
Twelve Hundred Dollars Which Care
less People Left Behind at
the Box 0Eice.

Certain windows where tickets are
sold here in town bear above them the
sign: Count your change before you
leave the window" Of course it's good
advice, not for you. we understand, but
for the next man. And just to show
you how much the next man needs to
count his change let me tell you some
thing a theatrical manager told me,
says writer in the Washington Post
He was once employed in the box Of
fee of Boston theater during an II
weeks run of BLACK Crook" in those
long ago days of our theatrical inno-
cence when BLACK Crook" was counted
wicked and drew as things considered
Nicked-and BLACK Crook" is kinder
garten pastime compared to them
draw nowadays. At the reckoning at
the end of the engagement the box Of
fee Golfers contained 1920 that they.
were not entitled to-$1,20 of money
that people who didn't count their
change before they left the window lost.
OF course the ticket seller didn't give,
short change Intentionally. Far be it,
from me to insinuate that anybody ever
does that, but accidents will happen,
and they are just as likely to happen
here as in Boston, so just tell the man.
next to You to count his change before,
he leaves the window.

Hens like the blood meal which is
prepared for egg food, and it is one
of the cheapest which can be bought.
1t furnishes all the elements needed
to make eggs, and pound will last
a dozen hens month.
Milk is worth more when fed to
hens than it is when given to pigs,
and is nearest to meat of any food
the farm produces. 1t is time now
the fowl should begin business IN
earnest. Hens, when laying are
prone to seek secluded places of
their own choosing; it is, therefore,
gOoding way to have the nests so
arranged that they will be part dark
By all means change the turkey
cock once year. No domestic fowl
is more easily degenerated than the
turkey. Hens, like all other stock
require more food when they are
giving us the benefit of their prod
uctive pow ers. Remember this, and
| from this time on feed more of the
kind of food which makes eggs.
We should keep our wits at work
| to learn how tn have eggs when folks
want them. A month or two latel
the chickens will get all the insects

water they want. We should SEE
that they have their equivalent now

CEREALS AND GRASSES.
Astonishing Results of Experiments
Lately Made by English
Farmers.

It is said that the discoveries in the
cultivation of cereals and grasses made
by the sons of Lancashire England
corn merchant bid fair to revolutionize
agriculture. In 1850 John and Robert
Carton began their experiments in the
production of new varieties of cereals
by means of cross-fertilization at New
ton-le-Willows. Hitherto the improve
ments in grain had been brought about
by carefully selecting the best ear in
the field and the best grain in that ear,
and then keeping the product of that
variety for seed, or else a change OF
seed from one section of country or dis
trict to another, but the labors of these
two gentlemen have been productive of
