A Nisnbie Coin.

Can this be new confidence game?
Yesterday two men went into a drug
store. and one Of them made pur-
chase that amounted to p cents He
handed the clerk u silver quarter,
which, just as the clerk WAS about to
take 1t, slipped from his fingers. Those
present heard the coin strike on its
edge on the floor. but heard no further
sound Of 1t. Every one looked on the
floor for 1t, but 1t could not be found.
There was no crack into which it could
have rolled and nothing behind which
IL could be hiding. This caused much
establishment, for all saw it fall and
heard 1t strike the floor. After search
Ing in vain for 1t for some minutes the
drug clerk said, well. never mind; we
shall probably find It," and the two
men walked out.
A half block away the friend, chanc-
Ing to look down, saw that the other
had on Il pair OF linen trousers which
We're turned up at the bottom. There
was the solution of the mysterious dis
appearance of the coin. He called his
friends attention to il. and there the
coin WAS found. 1t had struck the floor

Raising Hares.

A new industry has Just been estab-
ished In Indiana by Nathan Meyer, a
prominent manufacturer, and his asso-
GATES. The concern Is regularly In
corporated under the title Of the Wa.
bash Belgian Hare Breeding and I'm
porting company. The company will
undertake to import large numbers of
the animals from Europe and will
propagate them on an 80 acre farm
leased for the express purpose. A 10
acre tract has been set apart for the
breeding grounds and range, and a
Well built rabbit house. l6 by 200 feet,
has been erected to shelter the hares In
bad weather. Tie 10 acres are sur
rounded by high and closely woven
wire fence, and as the business grows
the rang will be enlarged. Already 300
hne hares have been placed on the
tarln. and Herman Wolf. an agent. Ia

Meyer says that when the company
gets under way il will raise 1000. 900

used In making crush hats. The hair
suitable for these hats is high priced
aud difficult to obtain. The promoters

lily narrowed.

HOW ME ZINES ~ ~>~~'- ~-s
lily Improved.
This class Of stock can be improved
more rapidly than any other on tue
farm, says j. W. Jamison OF ONO IN
The National Stockman. Three steps
are necessary To accomplish this most
rapidly. These are selection, feedlns
and purchase Every farm herd can
be improved in part or In all OF these
ways.
Purchase alone amounts to little
without the others. Nor can selection
and feed do 1t all. Where the custom
Is to feed corn almost exclusively as
the grain ration the hogs are sure IN
time to lack IN bone. Their bones grad
ually become smaller with each sue
ceedng generation. Selection cannot
wholly overcome this. Some farmers
try to overcome 1t by purchase. but
this Is not wholly satisfactory and fails
to a great extent. We have long since
found that the best way to secure an
abundance Of bone is to grow 1t. There
nre good reasons for this-the animals
are more thrifty; again, we cannot get
satisfactory weights without plenty Of
bone.
In the matter Of selection. the best
should be retained. The best in this
case means those showing the great
est thrift and that have made the most
rapid growth. Rapid growth is the
nj % .fa ~ CT In ~ 0ntOh h.
lish in herd, and this cannot be done
by selling those growing fastest and
retaining the slow growers.
When the farmer has good stock to
start WITH 1t Is only necessary to buy
males to introduce new blood The
SOW can always be selected on the
farm. In fact, this Is better place to
do 1t than on some other mans farm.
In our own case we would not expect
to purchase n class OF sows as salts
factory as what we now have, that we
have worked years to develop.
We are not in favor OF the practice
OF cleaning up the farm Of all home
grown stock every few years and pur-
chasing entirely new. This is not the
most satisfactory way ~ secure I'M
prov enent However, 1t may be the
best practice for some men that make
Il practice Of letting their hog stock
run out" as 1t is termed. Run OUT
is the result of bad feeding, selection
unf! too close breeding. The running
out system Of management Is not
profitable. The building up of herd
should Yield an increasing profit. The
cost Of males to improve a farm herd
should not deter the farmer from max
ing the purchase.

THE VOTING MACHINE.
Records Straight or Scratched Bcl-

The voting machine is. primarily,
counting machine. or rather com
b,nafion OF counting machines. 1t CON
sists OF three parts-fp the keyboard
with one key for each candidate, and
two-a Eyes and mo" key-for each
question; (2) the counters, one for
each key, and 81 the interlOcking
mechanism, which limits the number
% keys that can be operated in any
cue office group the candidates or all

operated by n small gate or lever
which swings in both directions. 1t Is
unlocked by the movement OF the gate

keys.
| Wien ballot is cast, 1t Is counted
ut once By the voter himself, for the
total vote on the counter for each can
didate Is advanced one step by the
act. The voting is done In the privacy
Of the booth, and when the Keys OF
the machine have been reset for the
next voter the identity of the proceed
Ing ballot Is destroyed. Consequently
the secrecy Of the ballot Is absolutely
assured Not only Is the voting OF q
straight ticket simple affair. but the
mechanism Is SO adjusted that a
scratched ticket can be voted as easily
as If the voter were marking a ballot
with his pencil He cannot vote fol
more than specified number of can
diaates. because, when the full vote
has been cast for any group OF candi'
dates, all the remaining keys OF thai
group are found to be locked, and when
all the ballots have been cast every
key on the machine has become inn
movable.
Again, the machine Is supplied Will
levers which may be SO adjusted by
the Judges Of elections that the voter
cannot east ballot which he is not en-
titled to vote. For example, in certain
localities Il failure to pay the poll las
debars the citizen from voting oh 1ueS
