FOUND FARM LIFE MoNOTONOUs.

FOUND FARM LAFE MONO ONONos
The farmer and his hired man, Jake,
found life sort of monotonOus ON the
farm. it being a ceascless round of COW
milking. pig feeding and corn blowing,
and, having read about such things.
they allowed they would like to see a
wreck on the railroad which ran
through the farm, and so these crazy
fools tempered with the track enough.
as they thought, so that the first train
which came along would be derailed.
but which obstruction. strangely, the
train cleared. though their attempt at
train wrecking was discovered. The
old man and Jake are now right up
against a very hard proposition. ana
the chances are that they will find the
monotony Of life ON the farm was after
all something far more endurable than
life in a peRitentiary.

DREssING POULTRY ron

DRESSING POULTRY FOR MARKET.
The writer recently made canvass
among a number of the poultry com
mission houses of one of our large cit
les and found out that the farmers suf-
fer a great loss because they do not
properly dress their poultry for the
market. We were .hown tons of chick
ems and turkeys sent in for the Christ
mas trade which no buyer wanted and
If sold had to go at price far below
what properly dressed poultry would
bring. The consensus of opinion among
these dealers was that want of proper
care in preparing poultry for the mar
ket reduced the selling price of it from
% to 40 per cent. We saw one lot of
finely dressed turkeys which sold
quickly at - cents. while alongside of
It was another lot torn and mutilated

here which might easily be avoided.

CORN RELr MOVING NORTH.


For many years the northern limit of
the corn belt was supposed to be along
tine northern boundary line Of the state
Of Iowa. This idea is now exploded.
for. with a certain change in climatic
conditions and the selection of proper
varieties Of corn to plant, the culture /
of this crop has been successfully NOV /
ed north Of the old line at least 100 !
miles We have an authenticated re- /
port of 50 acre field of corn grown |
last year in central Minnesota which
yielded an average of 90 bushels to the
acre, Il crop which would do credit to
the best corn growing sections of Hi
nOis. Iowa. Kansas or Nebraska. We
further note that South Dakota claims,
and justly so, to be in the corn belt,
and the corn crop is also being consd-
cred by the farmers Of even North
1 Dakota. This means much for there
is no type of agriculturein the country
which rests upon so sure and safe
basis as That where the corn plant
can be made a staple crop. No other
crop draws so lightly on the soil, and
none is capable of such wide use in
the production of all cur meat foods
i and dairy products. Good corn land
Is the best land in the world.
ONE PROBABLE CAUSE OF HOG
CHOLIRA.
The following questions were submit
ted by the writer to an audience of $50
farmers, all hog raisers. at farmers
institute in Iowa lately:
First.-At what age does a Poland
China hog attain full maturity?
Second.-What is the average age of
the sires and dams, the parents of the
1901 crop of spring pigs, for this local
ity?
An interesting discussion followed
1t was finally agreed that the Poland
China hog under normal conditions
would not attain full maturity until II:
years old, and it was further conceded
that the average age of the breeding
, animals, both sires and dams. the pro
, genitOrs of the 1901 crop of spring pigs
did not exceed s months. Need W,

Married by a Woman.

An amusing incident occurred at tho
noted Squire Bales some days ago.
MI. Bales is noted rs the Marrying
Squire" He has house that stands
partly in North Carolina and partly in
South Carolina, and as the latter state
has no license law, he does rushing
business. Not long ago the squire was
away from home. and a couple drove
up to the house and wanted to be mar
ried at once. The'squire's wife thought,
as she attended to the business of the
plantation during her lords absence,
she could attend to this. else. So she
married the couple in due form. They
were satisfied. But few days later
the father Of the bride heard that Mrs.
Bales was the officiating clergyman,
so to speak, and he drove to the county
seat, procured n license and had the
couple married over again by minis
ter. And Mrs. Bales is not yet con-
vinced that the knot was not tied ex-

in the 10th company of The United

Island, killed his wife and Immediately
afterward shot himself. His wife had
been originally Miss Hattie Harvey of
this city and subsequently Mrs. Capt.
Harry Lewis. Sne was q very at
traciive woman and Eiven much to
society. Jealousy which was probably
more than justified. was the cause of
Hackerty's rash action. He ahct his
wife through the head killing her in

jealous rage was fellow soldier named
Messer. The dead soldiers body was
taken charge of by the military author

naval attache at London throws some
light on the subject. There have been
some recent tests there in which a tur-
ret containing two 1S.inch guns be-
longing to the Canopus was fired upon.
The results of the shots fired at the
turret were carefully noted and a plat
of their effect has been sent to Wash
ingtOn. Taking the area within which
the nroiecti!c struck anu applying it to
the space presented as target by the
double deck turrets of the kentucky
and kearsarge, the naval experts find
that of the 104 6-inch lyddite shots
fred no less than eighty of them took
effect. If the same attack had been
made on either the Kentucky Or Kear-
sarge fifty eight of the shots would
have hit the 13-inch turret and the re-
mainder the upper turret containing
the 8-inch guns, any one of which
would have put both turrets and all
four guns out of action.
The views of wholes sale dealers in
tobacco and cigars on the effect of free
trade with Porto Rico upon their busi-
ness are extremely varied. Some be-
lieve that the competition OF the cheap
labor of Porto Rico with the better
paid armakers of the United States
will lead to the removal of American
cigar manufactures to the island and
the reduction of wages of cigar makers
in the United States. The popularity
of Porto Rico tobacco is not regarded
as sure result of it's general sale in
the United States. Many dealers think
1t does not meet the requirements Of
American taste in tobacco and will
never do 30. Others believe that few
months will see established in Porto
Rico factories where American grown
tobacco will be made up into cigars
and sold as Porto Rico stock on it's re-
turn to the United States. AS mat
ter of fact, the conditions existing in
the trade with regard to Porto Rican
tobacco products are so new that ell is
surmise and no positive predictions are
made, all the country can do is to wait
and see what will happen.

Bride Danced Herself to Death.

MCkEEsPORT, Pa Aug. Mrs. Anna
BrudOwicz, % years old, and bride of
twenty-four hours, danced herself to
death at her wedding feast hero to day.
She was married yesterday morning
to John Brudowicz, one of the leaders
in the Polish settlement.
The celebration of Polish wedding
usually lasts several days. This was
scheduled to occupy the remainder of
this week. 1t is customary at these
celebrations for every male guest to
dance with the bride, which honor
costs the guest 81. In this way sew
eral hundred dollars are usually raised
to pay for the celebration and help tho
newly married pair start in house
keeping. The dance is n wild whirl
about the hall in which the festivities
are held, and the bride is passed from
one man to another as rapidly rs the
round of the room is made.
Mrs. Brudowicz had finished the
ninety fourth round of the room with
as many, different guests when the
company was called to supper. The
bride complained of feeling sick and
almost Immediately dropped over in a
faint and died before medical assist
ance could reach her. Physicians
stated that death was due to heat pros
tration caused by over eNertion.
The young husband is almost pros
trated over the death Of his bride and
is being closely watched to prevent
him from committing suicide.

Good Health in Havana.

WASHINGTON, July 31.-The official
reports to the Secretary of War from
the sanitary office in Havana present
q gratifying show of progress in re-
deeming the city from the unthrifty
and neglectful state in which it was
kept during Spanish occupation. For
three months there has not been q sin
gle case Of yellow fever-something
that has not happened before since the
year 1861.
The death rate for juno from all dis
eases was twenty three in the thous-
and, about one-third what it used to
be. No city or tropical or SUBJ tropical
latitude has such record. The result
Is due to the able administration of the
sanitary Office under Major Gorgas, en-
cOuraged by the hearty cooperation of
Governor General Wood, who has
taken up as personal study the causes
of infection and the remedial condi-
tions necessary to establish the immun-
ity of the city from the usual fever
menace. t
During the past three months it ap-
pears yellow fever has three times
been carried to Havana from the out
side; once from Tampico once from an
army transport that had visited several
coast ports end once from'a case COM
ing from an interior town. The eff
cient quarantine service took these
cases'out Of the gone OF infection and
no spread OF the disease occurred.
Beginning in February the sanitary
Office L.s based its management Of yell
low fever on the theory that the dis
ease was spread by mosquitoes and the
:ssz;itts results aTo strongly corroborative of
this theory. The health. authorities
hope to be able to go through the sum-
mer without the usual epidemic OF yell
low fever. There has been NO small
pox in Havana since Jhly, 1900. For
merly there was no month in the round
year when there were not scores Of
cases. There werc in New York last
month 1876 cases of smallpox. In fact,
! the chief danger of infection from this
disease is from steamers coming from
New York and New wOrleans.-f fkiiadet-
