HE DIDN'T BUDGE.-One time a
Quaker in a carriage met young
man in a buggy driving in narrow
lane, where they couldn't pass.
~ shan't make way for you," said
the young man.
~ am older than thou art" replied
the Quaker, "and therefore have q
right to expect thee to give away SO
that can pass"
"Well, 1 won't" resumed the young
fellow. Then he pulled out a news
paper and began to read, as he sat still
in his carriage.
The Quaker, observing him, pulled
a pipe and some tobacco from his pock-
ct, struck a light, and sat and puffed
away very comfortably.
"Friend," said he, "when thou has
read that paper I should be very glad
if thou wouldst lend it to me-"
The young man gave up the con-
test.

SORGHUM FOR FEED.
Says F. Hudson, in Home and F.

Says F. Hudson, in Home and Farm
I have seen several writing of sorg'
hum as forage crop; but they do not
tell the people how to raise or how to
feed it. They think it has to be cured
ed and fed as they would fodder from
corn, but not 80. 1t must be kept as
green as it can possibly be kept, and
fed in a green state. planted one
acre this year, planted it thick in the
drill, and made drills about three feet
apart. I hoed it once and plowed II
twice. The preparing of the land and
working it cost me about four days
work, and when it began to head out
I began to feed it. had three horses
and four hogs, which I fed on it for
three months before it was gone. My
hogs were poor when I began to feed
them, and when the sorgum was gone
they were fat enough for meat, and ]
had not fed them bite of corn, and
had them in a close pen all the time,
As long as the sorghum lasted my
horses did not eat a bushel of corn
and they were in better condition than
my neighbors' horses that had been
eating corn all the time. My horses
would not eat the sorghum until il
had headed out and got sweet then
they eat stalks and all. 1t may take
a horse that has never eaten any sor.
ghum a week to learn how to eat it.
Then I assure you they will eat il
every time they get chance, and il
will never hurt them. I never cut
any more sorghum than wish to feed
until there is danger ola freeze. Then
cut all that is left in the patch, haul ii
in Immediately and rick it.
How shall I rick it? Stand up
forks about three feet high and about
ten feet apart in row, and lay poles
on them, or stretch wire as you wish
Then stand your sorghum against that
and it will keep sweet all the winter
This is the way the farmers of West
Texas keep it, and it is about all they
feed. 1t will make three times as
much feed on an acre as corn will

How TO GRow.-This is the advice
which the New York Press gives to a
young man who wanted to know how
to increase his height by 8 inches
"In the first place, eat beans. They
have an upward inclination, and we
observe that the giants of Maine, who
live almost wholly on them, don't care
rap whether their parents are long or
short. People who live on turnips the
broad fat variety, generally partake
of the nature of that watery root
they became rotund and dropsical. II
beans do not aid your stature try tying
a cannon ball to each ankle, and when
you sleep hold to the headboard with
your hands and let the weights swing
over the foot. Lie down great deal.
Sleep on the small of your back on a
horizontal bar"

The COMING BLACK SHEEP.-The
Rev. DR.. Meredith, a well-known
Brooklyn clergyman, tries to cultivate
friendly relations with the younger
members of his flock. In recent talk
to his Sunday-school he urged the
children to speak to him whenever
they met.
The next day a dirty faced urchin,
having a generally disreputable ap-
pearance, accosted him in the street
with: "How do, Doc?"
The clergyman stopped, and cordial
ly inquired: "And who are you, sir ?"
"I'm one of your little lambs" re-
piled the boy, affably. "Fine day."
And, fitting his hat to the back OF
his head, he staggered off, leaving the
worthy divine speechless with amaze
ment.

might try the ingenious invention of a
Glasgow journalist. Finding that his
eyes became so tired that he could
write only with great difficulty, he hit
upon the plan of having some strips OF
colored paper pasted on his desk close
to the inkstand, so that every time he
wanted dip of ink his eyes fell upon
the colored strips. The result was
surprising, and the inventor claims
that by this simple device he not only
avoided the use of glasses, but also
improved his sight.

condition is not due to any great and

earnings so far this year over those of
the corresponding period Of last year
as was the case Of 1893 over 1897. All
the railroads which build their own
freight cars have kept full forces at
work in the shops, but they could not
turn out cars fast enough to supply the
demand, and orders were placed with
car manufacturing companies which
will keep most Of them busy for the re-
mainder Of the year, If not longer.
Here is q curiously suggestive fact
stated by an official Of one of the big
Western railways:
More pianos were shipped over our
road from Chicago to the West and
Southwest in the last three months than
the entire numbN in the years from 1893
TO 1897. This is good proof of the pros
perity of the farmer, for a piano Is a
luxury IN which he does not indulge as
soon as he gets few hundred dollars
ahead. Our trafflc in farming machinery
was never so large as il has been this
year and our crop reports made it GER
tain that the investments in machinery
were well made.
When the farmers buy pianos they
are ION Easy street" No doubt of that,
Another railroad manager said: IF
we could borrow or hire from 5000 to
10000 box cars we could find immedi-
ate use for all Of them"
At Detroit an official declared that In
twenty years his road has never seen
a condition like the present. Ordinarily
at this time of the year we are not bur
dened with a surplus Of business and
rather have difficulty in finding place
to store our empty freight cars than to
employ all our energies to find cars
enough to carry the business offered to
us. We are certainly behind on a Wis
ible supply Of cars requisite to carry the
freight which we can get without any
solicitation"
Baltimore reports a scarcity Of cars
with which to remove the tremendous
business, present and prospective. At
Buffalo the freight traffic Is far In ex-
cess of the supply Of cars. Thousands
Of extra cars could be used. but they
are not to be found. At Philadelphia
a trunk line official testifies to great
increase on all the lines Of his road.
Speaking Of the lines east Of Pittsburg,
he said:
I am convinced that the present pros
perity Is lasting for the reason that the
increase Of business Is not confined to a
particular locality. 1t Is general. For
instance, on all the stations of our road
there Is substantial betterment. Some
of the offices report an increase Of per
cent, others Is per cent. many from so
to IS per cent, some 100 per cent, and
one as high as ZIG per cent. t
While, as these reports show, our bust
ness Is much In excess Of that Of last
year, we have not experienced any great
difficulty In getting cars to handle the
freight thus far. but there win be a
scarcity of cars In the later part Of Sep
TENDER or October. How serious II will
be l have no means Of telling at this
time. As a matter Of fact we have very
largely increased our equipment this
year, and, Of course. that has aided us
In handling the increased business, but
In some kinds OF cars there has already
been n scarcity.
