St. Peter Couldn"t Keep Him Out.

'sThe brightest reporter I ever knew,
said a newspaper man, was Bill!
Gaylor, who died at Hot Springs In
1895. He was a most persistent fel'
low after an item, and that reminds MI
of q little story about the last incl
dent of his career. He had been as
signed by a certain Chicago daily to
interview an eminent bishop about 9
schism in the church. The olshoE
didn't want to talk and wouldn't see
him, but Gaylor bribed 8. servant to
let him into the hall, and he waylalo
the dignitary as he was comlDs
through. He was ordered out for his
pains, but next day he penetrated TIE
house again on some pretext or other,
and was again fired.
HE repeated the exploit threeor fou:
times with similar results, and at last
the bishop, coming home late at night
found Billy sitting in his study reading
the Bible. Nobody could explain how
he got in, but the prelate wilted and
told him what lie wanted to know, on
condition that he would so away ano
stay away.
Shortly afterward poor Gaylor get
galloping consumption and died. and,
happening to meet the bishop at a
church conference, told him that the
young man who had once so molested
him would never do it again.
"'Let US hope that he is in heaven,
said clergyman standing by.
The bishops eyes twinkled. He
loved joke.
"'No doubt he !s,' he replied, gently.
I don't think they could keep him
out '"-penver (Col) Post.

Cheap Feeds.

One authority truly says We feed
too much of the carbohydrates, or fat
forming feeds, and not enough of the
albuminoids, or faDh-forming feeds.
While this is true, we would like to
know what the brother is going to do
about it. Oats at 25 cents q bushel
are about equal in feed value to corn
at rs cents. A bushel of oats weigh
ing 32 pounds has about 16
pounds of feed in it, the re-
mainder being the woody husk of the
kernels. 4 bushel of com weighing
SIS pounds has about so pounds
of feed in it, yet today there is not a
very wide difference in the price Of
the two grains. Experiment has
shown that for feeding hogs wheat is
not greatly superior in producing
weight to corn and wheat is worth
about three times as much as corn.
Corn is carbonaceous feed, while
wheat and oats are both albuminous.
The farmer who breeds hogs for mar
ket cannot afford to feed albuminous
feeds to the hogs he sells for the price
will not justify him in doing 80. A
balanced ration is good when it does
not cost more than one that is not

The Farm HOrse,

We do not like the very large horse
for the farm, where he must be used
for all purposes, to drive to mill, to
meeting and to market, as we'll as to
pull the plow, the farm machinery and
the loads that are to be moved about
the farm. The horse of 1900 pounds
eats about twice as much as the one
of 1000 pounds, and while the large
draught horse may be cheaper for the
truckman, it will be better to have the
light horse or two light horses on the
farm, even if it is necessary to load q
little lighter at times. There are a
few draught horses Of 1900 pounds or
heavier whose legs are strong enough
to last when they are put to heavy
work, but many of them will not en-
dure, and they give out about as
quickly on the farm as on the pave
ments. One trouble with the large
farm horse is that he eats too much
hay, and the farmer is often only too
willing to give it to him. More horses
are injured by overfeeding with hay
than with grain.-Americqn Cultiva-

Why the Cook Gave Noted.

II see you printed something the
other day about the disadvantages of
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., you KNOW
said the man with glasses. Now, I'm
afflicted that way myself. A few
nights ago when 1 went home it was
raining hard. My umbrella was wet
and I carried it Immediately to the
kitchen to drain. Casting about for
something to stand it in my eye caught
some sort of receptacle on the floor
near the stove, which 1 took to be the
coalhod, so I stood the umbrella in it
and went to bed. The next morning
the cook gave notice. She had found
my umbrella standing in her shoe."

preparinr the Seed Bed.

Disk harrows are especially valuable
for the deeper work of preparing the
seed bed. They cut down through
the plowed ground and pulverize the
soil more readily than an ordinary
harrow, and also work better in trashy
fields. They can be used for covering
oats sown on mellow ground without
plowing. Where a field has been
plowed and allowed to lie for some
time, thus permitting the weeds to
start, disks are more effective in pre-
pairing this land for seeding than the
ordinary harrow. The ground will be
worked up deeper and the weeds more
effectually destroyed. 1he disk is
often run over meadows which have
become sod-bound, and also over
meadows and pasture fields with wet
places where humm ocks have become
a nuisance. By following with an
ordinary harrow, these inequalities are
removed and the pasture made more
valuable. These are few of the uses
to which the disk harrow is particu-
larly adapted.

Cranberry Culture.

Cranberry Culture.
There is vast acreage of waste
land on our farms, much of which
might be utilized for profitable pur-
poses. A gentleman came into pos
session of tract of land about IL
miles from Terre Haute, Ind. A por-
ton of it was low, wet and soggy. He
dug a big ditch through it and drained
it. A chemist was employed to
analyze the soil. 1t was found to be
particularly suitable for onion culture,
and produces enormous crops of that
vegetable. It is good land, however,
for almost any crop How long this
land had been wasted, we are not in
formed, but there is no reason to sup
pose that it was not always so. There
is now no land superior to it in the
state of Indiana, report says; and there
is waste land in almost every section
that could be redeemed by this or
some other method. Cranberry cul-
ture, under suitable conditions, is
profitable, and the natural conditions
exist in great deal of waste land to
be found here and there, conditions
that are just as perfect as they are in
the cranberry growing sections.
Farmers have sometimes regretfully
shown US low, wet meadows, resting
upon peat bed, which they regarded
as pretty nearly worthless. No bet
ter location for cranberry bed could
be had. It is ideal, if there are means
for flooding from December to May,
which is almost q necessity. On the
farm on which the writer was born,
however, there " ere couple of acres
of wild Gran berries, which bore fairly
profitable annual crops without flood
ing and without attention of any kind.
But this was in a warmer climate than
is that of our extreme northern states,
and the cranberry did not seem to
suffer from insect depreciation as it
does now. Where such piece OF
land as We have described is found,
take off the soil down to the peat and
cover with about four inches of sand,
which can best be hauled on in win
ter. The planting is done in the
spring when the weather becomes
warm. There are advocates of setting
the roots, who say that the practice of
cutting up the vines and planting the
pieces will result in failure. We pre-
sumo that this decision is the result Of
experience or observation in special
instances, but that cranberries can be
propagated from cut vines is an nm
deniable fact. Six inches apart each
way is the proper distance for setting.
The bed should be kept clear of weeds
and grass. This is not always done,
but it will pay to do it.-John G. Mil
ler, in Agricultural Epitomist.

A Small Boys Wide-Awake Conscience

"A
Zone day." says writer in the
Boston Transcript, ''the mother of a
ten-year-old boy gave him two slices
of buttered bread, telling him to give
one of them to his little sister. He
carried out the order.
'That night, when he went to bed,
he was evidently disturbed in his
mind and remorseful about something,
and his mother questioned him in a
way to bring out the truth. II
wasn't nice to Peggy about that bread
and butter, he owned. 'Why?' asked
his mother. Did you take the bigger
piece?'
"'No,' he answered; hers was a
little bigger than my piece was, but
mine was a good deal butterer p"

balanced. It may be cheaper to feed
the wide ration and waste portion OF
the carbohydrates than to feed the
more extensive ration and have all the
feed elements in it used.
The farmers of the corn growing
sections feed their hogs and cattle a
very wide ration when they give tim
othy hay and corn to their steers, but
they cannot afford to do otherwise.
The corn belt produces some pretty
fair stock, and hogs and steers from
that section have been selling at the
top of the market recently at the
Chicago stock yards. These are corn
fed animals aud have been fed on the
cheapest ration, albeit a portion of that
ration was absolutely thrown away:
The part lost to the market, however,
was not lost to the farm, for it has
gone back to the land in the shape OF
manure. The man who has good stock
to sell always takes care of bis man

Making the Most of the Garden.

Making the Most Of the Garden.
We sold sweet corn last summer at
q cent an ear, enough to more than
pay for growing the corn, and as fast
as the good ears were picked the
stalks and small ears went to the COWS
instead of sowed corn, writes R. s.
Hinman in New England Homestead.
If you market for yourself to con-
sumers you will find than an occasion
al basket cf fresh picked string beans
or peas will do no harm, especially If
you are getting top prices for what
you sell. If you sell these things, by
products to you, worth little or moth
ing if left at home, never undersell
people who make q living by growing
such things. It is fair neither to the
truck grower nor your customer.
Give away anything you please, but
when you sell, sell at market rate. If
you do not do your own marketing,
whoever does it for you will ind it to
his as we'll as to your advantage to
add to the variety of his stock.
The man who goes to market with
butter only will often lose customers
to one who sells fresh eggs, cream and
seasonable vegetables. No customer,
especially if it be woman, likes to
buy, every ten minutes of morning,
a dozen eggs of one, few pounds of
butter of another, and some vegetables
of a third, while if she wants pint of

How to Raise Cool Beans.


"Most people imagine that any kind
of worn out soil is good enough for
beans. This is mistake. My first
experience with beans was in an old
garden that from much manuring and
blowing had become heavy and
soggy. I plowed it early, titled it
and kept it clean till July then planted
the beans. got big crop, and later
experience has proved to ME that early
tillage and late planting insure good
crop and freedom from bugs.
'But the main secret of good beans
is in the curing. AS usually cured.
pods and vines piled up together for
Indefinite length Of time, the vines
heat and give rank favor to the
beans. Pick all ripe pods from day to
day, dry and shell them at once. MY
first crop in that garden was handled
in this way. When I took some to
market some Italians cautiously
bought quart or two for test. The
next time I came they lugged off my
beans by the two bushel bagful. pay
ing me 81 bushel. They evidently
knew a good thing when they-tasted
it. Later experience convinces me
that this is the proper way to raise
and cure beans.
The above is the answer of keen
farmer and hotelkeeper to my ques-
tion, "Where in the world did you
get these beans? They are fit for a
president" The beans would fairly
melt in-the mouth, with very pleasant
taste.-Anton Leister, in New York
Tribune.

Give Your Stock Access to Water

It is of the utmost Importance, both
from q practical and from humani-
tartan point of view, that stock be
provided with an abundant supply of
drinking water, and it also should be
of good quality. The loss from made
quate water supply, though possibly
not very evident, is certain, and in the
aggregate amounts to considerable
sum. When the stock are in the pas
ture, it is probable they do not suffer
much. But now is the time to con-
slider the matter of providing for an
abundant supply next winter. If you
already have the supply, see that your
help properly attend to the matter.
A test recently conducted in Europe
I in watering COWS shows that dairy cat
tie always in their stable, gave much
better results when allowed constant
access to water than when allowed a
drink only twice day. 1t was found
that the milk yield increased, and no
decrease of fat content occurred. The
daily increase of milk was small, but,
as estimated, it would improve the
yield forty gallons per COW Per year.
A noticeable feature of the experiment
is that the COWS drank little less
when permitted to drink at will than
when furnished water twice day. By
drinking often there was less chilling
of the stomach than when furnished
water twice day, and each time in
large quantities. The digestion was
improved, as with each small draught
of water some gastric juice was Sc
creted, which was not the case to the
same extent where large draughts OF
cold water had to be taken.
J. a. Conover tells Wallace's Far
mer that in order to determine how
much water o herd of 13 calves
at the Kansas agricultural college
would drink, the water given them
for week was weighed, and put in
barrel for letting it out as fast as
needed. In seven days the 13
calves drank s6s pounds of water, or
an average of eight pounds a day.
The weather during this time was
warm for the first three days and
cooler the last four days. In addition,
the calves got an average of IA
pounds of skimmilk, besides grain.
The calves drank several times
day, not much at time, but often.
I noticed several times that they took
only two or three swallows. At other
times they would take few mouth
fuls of grain, 60 and get two or three
sups of water, then back to their grain
again. Even after their ration of
milk they would take few swallows
of water.
This experiment shows that calves
need water in addition to their milk
ration; it also shows that they like it
often and not so much at time. AL
ways see that it is fresh and clean.
