tell where people hail from by the way
they pronounce table dhote." He
lives in a hotel where q table d'hote
dinner is served at a certain hour
daily, this fact being duly advertised
by means of card in the elevator.
When people get into the elevator they
usually ask the attendant where the
meal is to be partaken of, and the
philosopher referred to makes it his
business to ride up and down, listen
ing and taking notes of the various
recommendations of the terms. Here is
the table he has produced:
Chicago, "tabble day hote."
Louisville, "tabul dote.'
Des Moines, ''tay-bul de hotey."
Omaha, "table dough-
Indianapolis, ''table de hote."
Grand Rapids, 'tabble dotty."
Sioux City, ''tabble de hot"
This is interesting, but it would be
more 50 if it showed how the people
of New York and st. Louis get around
the trouble. It may serve, also, to
bring about a settlement that Sioux

Coon for Young Chicks

A model coop for the hen and young
chicks may be constructed at practi-
cally no cost by taking an ordinary
soap or canned goods box, and saving
out an opening in end large enough to
admit the hen. In front of this con-
struct slat coop about three or four
feet square, SO that the hen may come
from the box and have the freedom OF
the coop as desi ed. The chicks will
pass in and out of the coop and will
forage around for quite distance,
but will promptly run to shelter at
the first approach of danger.
The drinking water cup and the feed
box should be plnced on outside of the
slat coop, as otherwise the hen will
scratch them over. Iaths, if con-
venient, make splendid material for
the coop, two.inch scantling being
used for the corner posts, and one
inch strips for two top sides. on which
to nail the top laths. OF course, if
we do not object to cost, nice little
houses, with sloping roofs, may be
made, but for all practical purposes,
the common square box will fill the
bilt and we can raise just as many and
just as healthy chicks in this way as
with the more elaborate outfits
Don't fancy that the chicks will
grow faster if allowed to roam all over
ten acre lot with the hen. They
will not, and the danger of having
them caught in rainstorm or drenched
in the early morning dews is over
come when the hen is TINS confined.
Six or eight weeks of this confne'
ment will not iniure the hen,' by
which time she will have begun to
lay and the chicks will be large enough
to hustle for themselves.-H and

Rapid Development Of Lambs.

A change of pasture in the fall is

Give them plenty of nice, fresh water
every day, with good clean timothy

fair amount of grain, shelled corn,

Best Snil for Tunn ato Plants.

Here is a hint worth remembering
for tomato plants: One of the expert
ment stations has said that n mixture
OF peat and coal ashes is the best soil
to set the tomato plant into in the
greenhouse. If SO, when. plants are
set in tue field why not mix quantity
of coal ashes into the hill before set
ting the plant or put mulch of it
AROUND them afterward? We think
the best results woal.l bc attained by
mixing it in the hill, as it makes the
ground light aadporous, aud naturally
would cause larger growth of the
feeding roots Gardeners often desire
TO set their tomatoes Oh moist, strong
soil, almost peat in its nature, and the
mixing OF coal ashes with it might
prevent the vines growing too rank
and force more development of fruit,

Driving COWS in hurry is money

A scrub farmer keeps scrtb cows.
Scrub COWS will make q scrub farmer.
Cows do not eat alike nor act alike,
and the wise dairyman will make due
allowance for all peculiarities.
The best dairy COW is the one that
produces the most butter fat every
twelve months on the least feed.
Every farmer should have tool
house and every implement about the
farm should be housed when not in
use.
Keep a COW waiting for her feed or
to be milked and she worries, and a
worrying COW is not profitable. BE-
on time with milking and feeding.
Farmers who think the dairy
methods of their fathers good enough
for them had better not attempt dairy.

In many cases man may have good
COWS and not know it, because he has
always fed them just enough to get
poor yield. Pefore condemning q
COW, thoroughly test her by increas'
ing the quantity and enhancing the
, quality of her feed.
Many young men make mistake in
cultivating an antipathy for rural pur'
suits. Certainly there is no more in.

if the farmer who is out OF debt and
owns home is not happy, then We

One of the most peculiar accidents
ever heard of happened to a colored man
near New Store, Va, a few days ago.
Ed Jones took his gun and set out for
q day of sport. he was not looking
for large game, but he had not been
in the woods long before he saw an
immense deer coming at a tremendous
rate of speed Immediately TOWARD him.
He at once fell upon his knees, pre-
paratory to shot, and when the deer
was within 20 feet of him fired and
missed his aim. The deer had ac-
auired such tremendous momentum
that it could not check itself, and
with the next leap landed upon the
hunter. It knocked him down and
bruised him badly upon the breast
with one hind foot, the other going
into the negro's mouth, knocking out
a number of his teeth, tearing part
of his gums away, and passing down
his throat. The whole thing was over
in an instant, but when he came to
the deer was gone.

China seas, and an account OF its ac-
tions has been given by Lieutenant
White of the British navy. He was
engaged in some special work at tho
entrance of a river, and came to an
chor one night in shallow water. Pres
emily strange sounds began to be heard
coming up from the bottom. They
were described as resembling the clang-

The men we're demoralized and attrib-
uted the noises to spirits, it being said
that crew of pirates had gone down
there, but the officers were convinced
that the noise was caused by some sea

it came from a school of fish that
made the sounds by clapping theis
