prefers that the complete story of his

Christian Herald rather than in any

question his sincerity. He said he was
delighted to meet and talk with me as
a friend, but desired that he should not
be quoted in the first person save on
specially stipulated points, as anything
beyond this savors of egotism. He de-
MES absolutely that he has given out

him as saying that any signed state

STAR POINTER TO RACE.
Great PAGER Receivers From Wrenched
Tendon Received Last Year.

New York, March 13.-The general
impression among harness racing men
last fall was that when Star Pointer
wrenched his tendon at the Empire
City track he would never be able to
race again.
The only PAGER that ever paced the
two-minute mark was sent back to
Congressman w. J. Whites Two Min
ute stock farm, where he has been ever
since, and was sent to rest in the in
door paddock with the result that he
is now as sound as ever. His driver,
McClary, has driven him recently
number of times in 2:10, which is suff1-
Gent proof that he will race again.
Charles Klein, the manager of Con-
gresham Whites farm, says the IA
nous PAGER is in excellent shape.

sylvania. It has been grown on the ex-
pertinent grounds of the. department of
agriculture at Washington, D. c., and
has proved to be thoroughly adapted
to and valuable for this locality. The
seeds terminate poorly when they are
more than two years old. Most of the
seed used in this country is imported
from Europe, so that particular care
should be taken by importers and deal
ers to handle none but such as can be
sold under guaranty as good, fresh
seed.
Cultivation.-Hairy vetch may be
sown in autumn, from about the middle
of August to the middle of September,
or in spring from the latter part of
April to the middle of May. It should
be sown broadcast or with grain drill
at the rate of one to one and one-half
bushels of seed per acre. The drill
method of sowing will require less
amount of seed. When the seed is put
in broadcast, bushel of rye, oats or
wheat should be sown at the same time
so as to furnish support to keep the
vines up off the ground. If it is sown in
drills in the latter part of August, the
crop should be cultivated several times.
It will furnish some forage in autumn,
end where the winter is not too severe
will start to grow again in the spring,
thus producing forage in late autumn
and early spring, at the two periods
when it is most needed.

Science in Stock Breeding,

Every intelligent breeder and raiser
of stock who is a thinking man and
a reader has been astonished at the
progress made in the great industry
of stock raising and stock feeding
during the past quarter of a century
Science has been brought into requi-
sition and the slip-shop methods have
been swept aside. Guesswork has
been superseded by weights and
measures, and instead of the scrub we
have the thoroughbred and an increase
year by year of prosperity in the hus-
bandman's domain. 1t is an admitted
fact that each individual farmer or
stockraiser has n. own peculiar
methods, and these methods may diff
fer widely from those of his neigh
bors, yet the great majority are NOV
ing along with the spirit of the times
and keeping pace with the age in
which we live.-Farmers' Review.

ZANGwILL AND THE BULLY.
DOyhOOL's Encounter of the Now
Famous Author and Play
wright.

When he was a boy, Israel Zangwill,
the author and playwright, was the
same thin, long-haired, specialized per-
son that he is to-day, only then it took
more courage to be eccentric in appear
ance than it Goes now. Twenty five
years ago Mr.. Zangwill was pupil
in the Jewish Free School, Bell Lane,
Spitalfields, London. His singular face
and still odder manner led the older and
larger boys to make a butt of him.
Tor the first few months he was cuffed
and boxed, builied and kicked by a
number of playful youths, but especial
ly by the bully of the school-a broad
shouldered, noisy young rufian.
One day, after school, Zangwill at
tracted not only the attention of the
school children, but of the neighbor-
hood as we'll by turning on his persecu-
to: and replying to him in kind. When
the bully recovered from his amaze
ment he threw off his coat and hat and
made rush at the lad. Zangwill was
ready for him. He had laid down his
books and doubled up his angular fists.
down the bully three times, and two
minutes later he had him suing for par
don and begging to be let up.
From that day until he went to col
lege he was severely let alone, and it
was not until years after that the Sc
cret of his victory became known. Dur
ing all the period of. his persecution
Zangwill had been taking boxing les
sons privately of prize fighter and he
did not offer battle until he was rea-
sonably sure of the result.-Saturday

cull Your Poultry Now.

The flock of poultry, no difference
how pure its blood, should be culled
every fall just before winter; no small
weaklings or late fowls should be kept
over winter, for, if they get through
successfully, they are not lit for breed
ing purposes in spring. Put all the
chickens in a pen or in the hen-house
and assert them as you would potatoes
apples or onions, rejecting for winter
keeping all that fall below a standard
which the poultryman should have
fixed in mind. It is good idea to weigh
each fowl and determine its vitality
and usefulness by that standard. Some
very large-appearing pullets are ligh,
and lean and of small bodies; they are
practically all feathers. Throw all such
out. Keep the best.-Farmers' Voice

"You might infer from this that there

if you should, your inference would be quite
correct; indeed, such unanimity of senti~

of rigidly observed neutrality, with the re-
suit that my second warehouse has already
begun to fill rapidly.

STRAW REPLACING WOOD.
Many Uses to Which the Refuse OF
the Grain Field Is Now
Being Put

The serious inroads upon the timber
forests of this country of late years has
directed attention to the probable ex-
haustion of that source of lumber sup
ply and scientists have set about de-
yising substitutes. One of these that
promises to be satisfactory is the in
vention OF New York man. The ba-
sis of the substitute is straw, which,
with certain chemical combinations,
produces material cheaper and more
durable than wood. The new mate
rial, which is very solid in structure,
can be nailed, screwed, sawed and gen.
orally manipulated as easily as lumber,
and it is expected to work revolution
in the matter of interior construction.
1t is said that the chemically pre-
pared straw has been tried and found
to be highly satisfactory by railroad
companies, blackboard manufacturers,
makers of picture frames and packing
boxes, by decorating artists and others.
For all practical purposes, it is the same
thing as lumber, but with these impor-
tant differences, that it is very much
cheaper and lasts longer. Every year
the forests of America are diminishing
to lamentable degree, and the for
estry question has become one of the
most serious ones confronting the coun.
try. If all that is claimed for the sub.
stitute for lumber is true, the impor.
| lance of the invention can scarcely be
overestimated, an dit deserves to rank
with such productions of mans ge-
MUS as the electric light, the cotton
gin and the telegraph.
The inventor of ''straw" lumber, it is
said, only succeeded in perfecting his
invention after IL years of experiment.
ing. The new material has, however
been in practical use, although in a
small way, for considerable time
and the knowledge of it thus obtained
would seem to demonstrate its value
