Military Plumber.

In 1889. when Delhi was sacked by
Nadir Shah, after he had defeated the
Moguls at Karnal. 100000 of the in
habitants were put to the sword and
treasure was carried off to the value
of at least $750.0O0.OOO. Some say the
value was $1,5OO.OOO,O0O, and one
writer says $3.OCO,OOO,OOO. Again,

TuRKEsTAN ALFALFA.

The unusually severe winter Of 1889
killed off probably half Of the alfalfa
of western Kansas, Nebraska, Colora-
do and Wyoming, and many fields in
the central prairie states to the east
ward were badly damaged, but the
Turkestan alfalfa grown in the states
mentioned was not affected. At the
Wyoming experiment station plat Of
Turkestan alfalfa was exposed for two
weeks without injury to a daily tenn
perature of IS degrees f., the lowest
point reached being 45 degrees. In
California it was subjected without
damage to O drought which seriously
injured ordinary alfalfa. In view Of
the notable success of this plant in
withstanding drought and cold it has
been decided to purchase a large
amount Of seed grown in America
from our imported stock and to distrib-
ute it widely over the arid west until 1t
has been thoroughly tested under all
the different climaticand soil conditions
existing in that region. From the re-
suits already secured 1t is believed that
this one introduction will add millions
of dollars to the annual hay product of
the United States, says Secretary VIII
son in his last report.

THE MAN WITH THE GUN.

The man with the gun has become
altogether more Of libel upon our
modern civilization than the man with
the hoe. This man with the gun has
no mercy on any living thing in the
way Of wild bird or animal. This man
sees an eagle and is crazy to shoot it,
a flock of pretty quail in the fence cor
ner and longs to pot them all at one
shot. If he can make 2 cents the cost
of his cartridges. he would, if let alone,
not leave even a robin or dove or
thrush in all the country. He hesitates
not to shoot tame squirrels - family
pets-if he has the chance and will
raid lawlessly any mans premises like
some barbarian of old. If he chances
where game is plentiful, he will slaugh-
ter all in sight and is Il fish hog and a
game hog just as he may have the OPP
portunity. He dynamites and seines
the rivers at night and. as he can. vio-
lates all laws for the protection of our
fish and game and our little feathered
friends. He belongs to frontier condi-
tons and is every way an undesirable
citizen for any well settled and civil
lied community. You know him? Well,
SO do we. We would like to write his
obituary.

THE PLUM ORCHARD.

There are over 100 varieties of plums,
taken from the native groves Of the
northwest or propagated from the pits
grown in such groves, now named, all
of unquestioned hardness and of
greater or lesser merit as fruit trees
for all the northwest. We recall find
ing 30 years ago a solitary plum tree
in dense woodland thicket which
bore large yellow plum of exception
ally fine appearance and favor, which,
had we been wise enough to have
marked and later on ltransplanted it,
would have been a valuable addition
to the list of native plums. These
plums are being constantly improved
upon until in the matter of size. flavor
and appearance they bid fair to equal
the plums Of any country. These plums
do best in a thicket or grove, mixing
the varieties. They are gross feeders
and after the trees come into bearing
should be heavily fortified and mulch
ed. The plum tree feels the effect of
drought more quickly than does any
other of our fruit trees. There is a
general tendency among all varieties
to overbear, and If one would have
thrifty, long lived trees and large fruit
the trees must be thinned of the sur
plus fruit.

SOME PACKING HOUSE SECRETS.

= : !
We had an interesting conversation
with the representative of one of the
large packing houses recently. Ex-
planning the working Of the dressed
beef trade, he said that the packers
had a clean profit of $3.50 on each head
of stock killed and dressed over and
above what it was possible for the To-
cal butcher to realize out of the ami
NAL, this profit derived from the utili-
cation of what would be entirely waste
products at the country slaughter
house. He further said that the shrink
age the packers were able to get OH
the animal more than paid for its
transportation to Chicago. He also
kindly told US what became of the
"canners," stating Chat tie hams of
such animals were converted into
smoked beef, the best loin meat made
into rolls which were used by the 20
cent restaurants for roasts and steak,
the tenderloin taken out and sold as
such, some rolls Of cheaper grade
taken from the fore shoulder and the
rest Of the carcass boiled down, the fat
taken off for oleomargarine, the lean
meat canned and the broth put into
beef extract, and that is the end Of the
"canner."

GIGANTIC CORN CROP.

The state of Iowa has raised this
year 00,000,000 bushels of corn. Talk
about gold mines! We would like to
know if this is not one? This crop is
worth, to sell by the bushel, not less
than $75,O00,O0O. Fed out, as most Of
it will be, 1t is worth more than $780,
100000. 1t would require $4,000
freight cars of a capacity of 686 bush
els each to transport it. These cars,
if connected, would reach distance
of 426 miles. But only small part Of
it will seek n market in this way. it
will go to market in refrigerator cars
us fine creamery butter, in stock cars
filed with fat steers and hogs. 1t will
go to market in egg cases and Christ
mas turkeys, as sirup, cornstarch and
other forms. 1t would, If made into
whisky, keep the people of the entire
commonwealth drunk for 40 years. 1t
will pay mortgages, beautify homes,
educate the boys and girls and allow
of a plane of living among its pro-
ducers hardly reached by any other
people of the world. And most of it
was stolen from the sun and the sun
left none the poorer. Corn in Egypt
was all right in its day, but corn in
Iowa beats it. Any county in the state
could feed all the tribes of the He
brews. The work is done. Cover the
corncribs, put away the throw boards,
go out and size up the bursting cribs,
then go in the house and watch mother
take golden brown johnnycake from
the oven and set it before you for the
evening meal; then return thanks that
your lot is cast in the great corn belt
of Iowa.

WELL RODDED.

had been struck hard by some light

crib and six OH his house, the buildings
looking like a squad Of soldiers al

And, while his buildings were thus ap
parently fortified, the chances are that

his rods were far more of a menace
than a protection to his property OF

LICENSES AND THE Law.

A Pennsylvania judge has handed
down an opinion holding invalid city
ordinance prohibiting the killing of
animals on ones own property and
selling to individual customers with
out license has first been obtained
from the city authorities. The judge
holds that such an ordinance is q
trade regulation and not police reg
ulation and that it is not merely to
prohibit peddling from door to door,
which would be within the proper po-
lice powers of municipality, but for
the benefit of few resident traders
and thus deprive the entire meat con-
Stunning population Of the privilege Of
buying wherever they can get prod
iucts cheapest. Such an ordinance he
pronounces unquestionably invalid. Il

PETER
M'ARTHUR.
COURTSEIIP.


o.,
One evening about the middle Of Feb
ruary Will Harlow harnessed his road
ster to his new cutter, specially pur-
chased for purposes of courtship, and
drove through the frosty moonlight to
call on Mary Burnham, country CO.
quette with whom he was desperately
but bashfully in love. He had progress
ed so far with his wooing that he was
not afraid to be seen in public with his
idol, and on this occasion he was pre-
pared to go the length Of taking her to
an olio that was to be given in a coun-
try schoolhouse about five miles dis
tant. He had made no arrangements
with her for the outing, for. like all re-
firing backwoodsmen. he considered
his attentions a declaration of love

troubles he had caused himself could
not hope to progress with his lovemak
ing, and he dropped out.
A few days later Mary sent. peni-
tent little note to Harlow, and he came
back to her, bashful and awkward as
ever. But she knew something of his
mettle from the way he had command
ed her and Eakins at the time of the
upset, and she waited for him to assert
himself again. A few evenings later
they went to another olio, and there
were no accidents to mar their pleas
ure. In fact, they got along so well
that it was decided that Mary should
go through life with the protection Of
the strong arm that supported her so
cozily during the drive, for Harlow
could not only drive well, but he could
do 1t with one hand.

You'd better come with me and let me
take you home"
"No," said Mary. "Mr. Eakins
brought me out, and I'm going home
with him, Mr.. Harlow"
ooh, If that's. the way you feel about
it, guess it won't do you any harm to
stay here till you cool OFF, And he
turned his horse again and prepared to
go home alone. But before he had
gone many rods he stopped and came
back.
"Here!' he said gruff1y. LET me help
you get into shape again! Why. you
fool. what made you take your mitts
off? That frosty iron is peeling the
skin off your hands just as if it was
redhot! Stop it, or you'll have your
fingers frozen Off"
Unstrapping the broken shafts from
the horse, Harlow prepared to bind
them with his halters, but while he
worked the cold again began to i'm
press itself on him, and he decided to
take things in his own hands
Here" he exclaimed. You two get
into my cutter and get home as quick
as you can! don't want you to freeze
to death even if you are fools enough
to do it,!
NO" said Eakins sullenly. 81 won't
take your cutter"
But say you Will" roared Harlow,
who had changed suddenly from a
in me h,yl-
ly. You get into that cutter right off,
or I'll give you warming up that will
take all the cold and concrit out Of
you! Here. Mary, you get in first!'
And before she could enter a protest he
had picked her up in his arms and
placed her in the cutter. There was
nothing for Eakins to do but to obey,
and he sneaied in after her.
Now drive for your lives" he shout
ed to them. 'or you will freeze to
DEATH" When they had started, he
hurriedly patched the wrecked cutter
so that it would hang together and
urging the horse to gallop, started
after the almost frozen couple.
"Keep slapping your hands togeth-
err" he shouted as he whirled past
them, "and rub your ears and noses If
you feel them getting numb. am

The most satisfactory way in which
to get rid of the manure from the
farms where stock is stabbed for the
winter is to haul it direct out on to the
fields and spread it as hauled. A far
larger per cent Of the fertilizing ele-

and utilized as plant food than if the
manure is piled up and allowed to heat
and become fire fanged, or left to rot
