Short and Useful Paragraphs.

DRY a1les add just about double to
the labor of the team. Wagon grease
is cheap and few minutes does the
work.
There is an over-production of
weeds. As soon as the farmers re-
duce their acreages devoted to this
crop they will be great deal better
off,
Ducks are ready for the market
when eleven weeks old. Show me
ANYTHING else raised on the farm that
can be turned into money 80 soon and
sure.
There is such thing as over.man-
uring, for when soil is already we'll
supplied with plant food there will be
no perceptible gain by using fertll-
izers.
There are great many who are be-
ginning to think that with we'll
planned rotation manure is practically
unnecessary, and there is no doubt
something in it.
Where a grass for close cropping is
sought after, there is nothing that can
beat the kentucky blue grass. as it
stands large amount of tramping
and close pasturage.
There is large money IN small
things. One dewberry grower in
Maryland during the past season sold
40, 900 quarts of that delicious fruit,
on which he cleared $1,000.
It is almost impossible to apl ly too

the earliest of vegetables, it will soon
be time to get about the work.
If we had specimen of some good
variety of carrot in place of every
wild carrot plant that we see on the
farms, wouldn't the stock have fine

shine.
Some farmers believe straw to be
nuisance. Nothing of the sort. Use
it around the stable and barnyard,
and whatever you do, don't burn it,
as its usefulness as fertilizer is too
great.
Every farmer who wants to keep up
the fertility of his farm should make
1t point to put back on the land in
the shape of fertilizers of some some
sort whatever the previous crop has
taken from it.

Indian Understood the Malay.

Former Representative Springer
tells q curious story that is worthy OF
investigation of the bureau of etnol-
ogy. He says that Greek Indian
from Indian Territory, who was q
member of the rough riders, re-en-
listed in the regular army at the close
of the Spanish war and was sent to
the Philippine Islands. While cam
paigning with his regiment in the
southern part of the archipelago he
found q tribe of Malays whose dialect

Grating Wax and How to Make 1t.

Here is recipe for an excellent
grating wax: One pound tallow, two
pounds beeswaz, four pounds rosin.
Slowly melt all together, stir we'll and
when partially cooled pour into pans
which have been moistened or oiled to
keep the wax from clinging too tightly
to them. When thoroughly cold
break into convenient pieces.
Raw mot boiled) linseed oil is often
preferred to the tallow, and IN very
warm regions much larger proper
ton of rosin will make the wax less
apt to run, reducing its cost also, as
the beeswax is the most expensive
though an indispensable article in its
composition.
For use it should be melted and ap-
piled carefully over all exposed cuts
and often cracks around the gratis
A small paint brush is the most con-
venient for this purpose. 1t can be
applied safely much warmer than can
be borne by the hand.

Ills TEETH WERE HIS OWN.

Ordinary.

And Yet the Facts Were Rather Out Of the
Ordinary.
Four or five travelling men around
the hotel stove had been talking about
teeth. when one Of them got up ana
sayiag good night" went off to bed.
Did you notice what fine teeth that
party had:" said man from st.
Louis. He won't acknowledge they
are false, or rather he insists that they
are his own, and yet he doesn't quite
tell the truth. My brother Is den
tist in Kansas City, and this man lives
there, and my brother does his work
for him. Not that he tells me any
thing. but merely as an incident, for
everybody who knows the man knows
the circumstances. His teeth are his
own. and at the same time they are
false. You don't understand, so I'll
explain. He always had unusually
fine teeth, but about five years ago
they showed signs Of Riggs disease,
an affection which causes the gums
to recede from the roots, leaving them
exposed some distance down from the
enameled surface. In aggravated
cases or where the person Is very SEN
sitive the disease is very painful and
it is almost impossible to relieve 1t.
To cure it is practically impossible, for
the gums will not grow back again.
This man was Of the sensitive kind,
and although physicians and dentists
tried their skill on him they could do
nothing, and he suffered 50 that at last
he told my brother to extract every
tooth in his mouth and put false ones
In for him. AS nothing else could be
done my brother followed instructions
and pulled every tooth. They were
all in perfect condition, and as my
brother looked them over, regretting
that his patient was forced to give
them up, a novel idea occurred to
him, which he at once told to the other
man, who agreed to 1t willingly. This
was that instead Of making artificial
teeth, rs was the usual custom, these
same teeth be used exactly as If they
were artificial. Ny brother, who is a
first-class dentist always, was more
than ordinarily careful on this job, and
when he had mounted the teeth In q
plate measured to a hairs breadth
and slipped them into his patents
mouth they fitted as II they had grown
there, az it were, and now there isn't
one man in a thousand can tell that
they are false, If, indeed, false they
are. At the same time there isn't any
more Riggs disease to trouble him."

Plovinp Wet Ground.

When the upturned furrow presents
a slick, newly varnished-like appear
ance it is a good indication that the
plowing should be postponed few
days. If plowing land when wet IS
followed in day or 80 by a heavy
freeze, the damage is not 80 great as
when it dries out and becomes almost
as hard as brick. This Of course
can only occur in clay or sticky soil.
In no case does the gain in two or
three days time compensate for the
injury done the land by plowing wet.

The latest information is that there is
some foundation for rumors that nego-
tiations are pending for a closer alliance
between the Erie and the Wabash lines
through connections at Buffalo and those
in touch with these interests say that the
recent fluctuations in Erie stock were not
due to reported transfers of stock to the
Vanderbilts, but to the increased earnings
of the New Erie, as it is now called. and
the excellent prospects for the closer
traffic relations with the Wabash lines.
The New Erie is in splendid condition.
Under the direction of 4. b. Thomas mil
lions of dollars have been expended to
bring the roadbed and equipment to the
same excellent standard as its competitors.
1t is said hat the traffic deal between the
two roads is part and parcel of financial
transactions between the two companies
by which it is expected to ave them more
closely allied, and the Erie and Wabash
are in a position TO help each other. The
new talent on the board of directors of
the Erie is stronger than at any former
period, and hereafter the Erie will be
strong enough to dictate to some of its
competitors. In connection with the Wa
bash the Erie would be greatly strength
ened in securing business from st. Louis,
Kansas City and other Southwestern
points.

Council agreed on one, providing it is ac-
ceptable to his company. Mr.. Henry said
arrangements with the Indianapolis Street.

and the Union Traction cars will enter
Indianapolis over the College-avenue line,
the latter line having been extended to
Thirtieth street. The cars Will use the
College-avenue line to Meridian street,
then south to Maryland and then TO IL
linois street. The board said IL would
agree to allow the Union Traction Com
pany to use Maryland street for one year
only, SO that all of the interurban COM
panies may have the opportunity to get
together and build or rent a station. The
interurban franchise will be considered by
the board the latter part of this week
when the water contract will also come up
for consideration.
The board accepted the bid of the Sun
Vapor Street Lighting Company for go

Plan to Stop Rate Cutting.

Executive officers of the Western roads
held a meeting in Chicago yesterday to
provide measures for the strict main
tenance OF rates after Jan. /. Notwith-
standing the formation of district commit
tees or pools about six months ago, for the
purpose of securing an equitable distribu-
ton of traffic, freight rates between Kansas
City and Chicago, and st. a and Chi
cago, nave been badly manipulated, some
of the roads having refused to carry out
the agreement. Failing to bring about
stability of rates the presidents. at their
meeting in New York a week ago, decided
that an advisory committee of members
of the big financial interests now control
ling most OF the railroads in the country
be appointed to aid the executive officers
I'm their efforts to bring harmony among
the rival railroads in the West and North
west. President jeffrey, of the Denver az
Rio Grande, who was the chairman of the
New York conference, has, in accordance
with that action, selected the following
as members OF the advisory committee of
bankers and capitalists: E. H. Hartman,
chairman; Jacob H. Schin, of Kuhn, Loeb
& Co.; Robert Fleming, of London, one of
the organizers of the Santa Fe SYSTEM:
Robert Bacon. of ]. PierpOnt Morgan Il
CO.. and James Stillman. president of the
National City Bank of New York. Aldace
r. Walker, chairman of the Atchison
board, is Mr.. Fleming's alternate. The
object OF this committee is to represent
whose interests are sacrificed in rate-cut-
ting wars. 1t is believed that a commit
tee of stockholders. whose. votes might
carry the balance Of power in the annual
elections OF the roads, will receive more
respectful consideration from the traffic
officials than orders from the presidents.
1t was decided yesterday that no more
freight is to be carried at cut rates be-
tween Chicago and Kansas City, or Chi
cago and st. Paul after Jan. 1, and traffic
officials will be held personally respon-
sible for violations of the agreement.
