SON HAD THE ADVANTAGE.


William Scott, Of Pittsburgh, who has
been brought 90 prominently before the pub
lie recently through being Nj. Carnegie's
controversy between Frick and Carnegie,
asked one question too many the other day.
. Everyone interested in legal affairs knows
how the two millionaires have always con-
suited the same law firm because their in
terests were identical, and that when the
split came this firm, Of which Judge Reed,
president of the Lake Erie railroad, is the
head, refused to take sides with either client
and that new attorneys had to be chosen.
Mr.. Carnegie chose Mr.. Scott, a brilliant and
well-known Princeton alumnus Of the class
Of go, says the PHILADELPHIA Post.
On June Q, at the opening Of Nassau's COM
mencement, when Princeton took the base
ball championship from Yale and young
King Scott, Mr.. Scots son, had the honor
Of being substitute pitcher for Hildebrand,
Mr.. Scott was among the favored guests.
Mr.. Scott is fond of getting evidence from
people, and when a freshmen who idolized
King Scott came up to shake hands with the
father after the game Mr.. Scott asked him
what he thought was the best thingin col
lege life. .
"Athletics, sir, was the freshman's eager
answer: ITS the greatest thing of all. It
does fellow no end of good.
And why athletics?" insisted Mr.: Scott:

way: i guess you were aagood student here,
Mr.. Scott, and read a heap of books-but
nobody has ever heard of you, and thewhole
world knows about King"

CHERNSIDE AND THE CATS.

SeRvant's Dishonesty Made
Trouble.

Gen. Sir Herbert Chermside, whose
gallantry in South Africa has evoked
much admiration, has had experience
as diplomat as well as in the army.
Once he was British consul in Asia
Minor, and in moment Of weakness
sent q couple of beautiful Angora cats
as present to lady in Conktan tinople.
The lady was so pleased that she asked
him to send some more. Sir Herbert
gave his native servant some money
and told him to go and buy two or
three. Then came . demand for more
cats from the consul's friends, and he
gave his servant more money with
which to buy catA This went on for
two or three months, and the native
servant waxed exceedingly fat. One
morning. however, the general, on CONE
ing lout Of the consulate, was surround
ed BIZ d host 81 infuriated yelled women,
who sought slohammed to curse him
because he had stolen lltheir cats. It
appears that the native servant had

Hints on Pigeon Raising.

Pigeons lay two eggs, and the eggs
require from II to 10 days for incuba-
ton. The breeding season generally
lasts from March until September and
the sexes should be equal. Rid the
pigeon houses of lice, and dust occu-
pants with insect powder, or ''lice
killer" Plenty of clean sand or grit
should be furnished to pigeons in con-
finement or in runs" More eggs are
produced when confined partially.
Wheat, cracked corn, table crumbs,
scraps, ETC., are relished by them.
Squads, or young pigeons, ought to ba
ready to market in four or five weeks,
and bring good prices in city markets.
Pigeons live to good old age, often
breeding until IA years old.-Doris, in
Ohio Farmer.

THE COW IN SUMNER.
Ration Her MIX Yield II Bound
to Shrink,

Comparatively few farmers would
think of working team Of horses hard
during the summer months without
feeding a liberal allowance of grain
along with pasture. But when it comes
to feeding COWS the reverse is true.
Just as small number feed their cows
a grain ration while running on pas
ture.
The horse is fed grain from which to
draw material to supply the system
with force and energy. Farmers have
learned from experience that grass
alone does not afford the proper
amount of muscle-makers to repair the
waste and give strength to a horse at
constant hard work, and they resort
to feeding grain.
The COW, as q matter of course, does
not expend so much for muscular
strength in the elaboration of milk as
does the horse in hard days work,
but the draft on her nervous system is
greater than that on the muscular sys-
tenn of the horse. Before one can rea-
sonably expect a COW to do her best day
after day and year after year, she must
be literally furnished with food that
will supply the system with strength
and energy to stand the draft made by
the nervous forces on her system.
We hear great deal about balanced
rations for winter feeding and but very
little about a balanced ration during
the summer months. A COW needs the
same material during the summer as
during the winter. She needs bal
anced ration in May and June as much
as in December and January. During
the winter we see that her wants are
supplied. During the summer she is, as
q rule, left to shift for herself, and if
she does not respond literally when on
pasture-no matter what the nature of
the pasture, whethef>it is clover, blue
grass, timothy or wild grass-she is
condemned, when the fact is, she is do
ing the best she can under the circum-
stances.-M. E. King, in Ohio Farmer.
