AUTUMN FARM NOTES.

Remember that the hens as we'll as
the horses want water and want it
pure.
Fence posts and fxings cut now
will come handy for repairs in the
spring.
Have dry shelter for the reaper
and mower and all other farm i'm
plcments.
See that all animals on the farm
are protected from cold rains and
chilling frosts.
Ship only the solid heads of cab
bages. Take off some OF the outside
leaves and stems. Pack tightly.
Shoes may be made nearly water
proof by rubbing into them mix
ture of rosin, beeswax and lard.
Take rides in the country in these
sunny days, to inspect neighboring
farms, and have the wife go too.
Attend now to the opening OF
drains in the wheat field and fol-
turning of the washings of the high
way over the low land when the fall
rains and spring floods come.-Farm
and Home.

the end post, which should be eight
inches or more in diameter, and set
SO to 40 inches deep. B is the brace
post, which may be some smaller
than the other post, and should be
set eight or nine feet from it. C is
the brace-rail, of four by four dur
able timber, or one inch gas pipe
may be used. D is the anchor wire,
preferably Of three No. 10 galvanized
wires, which pass from top Of B
down around the anchor E and upon
the other side of end post A and
the ends fastened together at top
of B. The anchor E should be dur
able timber, six inches in diameter
and two feet long. Or suitable
stone may be used. The hole for the
anchor should be dug so that the
timber will fit we'll against bank on
the side next to the post, and should
be two feet deep and three feet from
the end post. After anchor wires are
in place and the ends securely
fastned, then, with short, fiat stick
the wires should be twisted between
the posts until quite tight.-ohio

QUALITY COUNTS.
1t Regulates Prices Quite as Enec-
lively as the PrOverbial Law
of Supply and Demand.

We say that prices are regulated
BY supply and demand, but we are
apt to lose sight of the important
part which quality plays in stimulat-
ing consumption and thus maintain
ing prices. Breeders who have
placed themselves in the van of the
movement to improve the live stock
Of this country have not only raised
the standard of production, but have
stimulated the demand for the best.
In other words, their work has been
two-fold; it has educated the taste of
the consumer, while it has striven to
meet the demand thus created. Eng
lishmen who came to America ten or
fifteen years ago and who interested
themselves in live stock statistics, ex-
pressed great surprise over the small
consumption of mutton by our peo-
pie, but after they had sampled the
cooked article in The hotels of the
United States they ceased to wonder
that Americans had little appetite
for that kind of meat. Farmers
raised sheep for wool and the NUT
ton disposed of was by-product.
The quality of the meat was on par
with the beef retailed in certain out
of-the-way dairy districts whose mar
kets are supplied from the local
stock Of old COWS fattened and sent
to the shambles.
With an increased supply butchers
and packers have learned that the
best of mutton must be killed and
dressed so carefully that no faint
from the oil always present in the
wool reaches the meat to give it the
flavor so unpleasant to many fastidl-
Gus palates, and this careful dressing
has also helped the trade. The i'm
provement of export facilities has
likewise encouraged the raising of
mutton sheep, but that, as Kipling
says, is another story. Though the
growth of this branch of live stock
Industry has been rapid it has been
permanent. Mutton now holds high
rank with other meats in the estima-
ton of our people, and it's popularity
is increasing.-Farmers' Review.

NEVER before had the town re-
~ ceived such shock as on the
morning when it was discovered that
the First national bank had been
robbed and the cashier found sense
less and bleeding in the alley back
of the building. Our firm repre-
scented the bank legally, and we were
notified at our homes.
The injured cashier had been carried
to the directors room and laid on the
lounge. All he had to say was that he
had been detained at the bank late the
might before trying to find an obstl-
nate error in the balance sheet. 1t
was after midnight when he had COM
pleted his task. AS he was about 20
lock the vault he was startled by a
noise behind him, and, turning, found
himself face to face with masked
man who had him covered with re-
rolver. Realizing his disadvantage, he
had determined on desperate course
and leaped through the door of the
presidents room, only few feet away,
slamming the door behind him, I'M
barred the iron shutters of window
and jumped into the alley, intent upon
giving an alarm. But the robber was
equally quick, and no sooner had the
cashier landed on the earth than his
assailant was on top of him. Then en-
sued desperate struggle, in which the
robber, fearing to fire his revolver, had
used a knife. The result was that the
cashier sank unconscious and there re-
manned for some two hours until he
was found by the night Waterman.
This was the story told incoherently
by James Morris, the cashier, and his
bLood-stained garments and Jagged

an otherwise honest German for selling

tanned certain member of the bar who is

THE IDEAL FARM HOME.
1t Must Have Scores Of COnvcnie NJ e .
UnthOuGht OF = Score of
Years Ago.

Forty years ago this subject would
have meant something quite different
from what it does at present. Then q
plain frame building with plastered
walls and brick chimney would
have seemed great advance on the
double log cabin with it's stick and
mud chimney at either end, the we'll
sweep in the yard, chickens roosting
in the trees or on the rail fences. A
pile of logs in the front yard was not
deemed out of place in early days,
and shade trees, shrubbery and fow-
er beds were exceptional, if not UNI
known. The ideal farm home as we
now regard it must have many orna-
mental features, and numerous con-
veniences that in pioneer days were
unthought of. AS to externals our
first thought is regarding walks and
drives. They should be dry and
clean. Mud should not be tracked
into the house, and to prevent this
gravel should be used freely, not only
to make walks to barnyards and
outhouses, but to build drives from
the road in front to the wagon shed
in the rear. A shed or covered way
ought to extend from a side porch
of the house to the drive so the Ia
dies can enter or depart from the
carriage dry shod. Cows as well as
horses must be shielded at the model
farm and the mixers need bring no
dirt with them indoors. The stables
and sheds will be cleaned two or
three times each week and the refuse
drawn out to the fields. A row OF
hothouses, sheds and covered ways
will extend from kitchen to barn, so
there will be no need to tramp
through mud and rain at any time.
The ideal home is possible only when
built upon good well-graveled road,
because the people who dwell in it
are sociable and must visit and at
tend meetings, lectures and concerts.
It must have telephone connecting
with all the neighborhood and the
towns and villages near. 1t must
have daily mail, which it easily can
have if the roads are what they
ought to be. 1t must have shade
trees, vines, shrubbery and flowers
in the bluegrass lawn, and small
fruit as well as vegetable garden,
we'll stocked with the best varieties
and we'll tended, and it should be
convenient to the kitchen so as to be
most available and useful.-Indiana

wounds bespoke its truth, as did also
the damp ground in the alley, which
showed plain signs of hard struggle.
The missing money amounted to $780,
600, and Mr.. Guilford, the president,
was frantic. AS +he hours wore on and
the police appeared to be accomplish
ing nothing, Guilford summoned my
partners and myself to a conference.
Nobody could offer suggestion. All
at once an idea flashed across my mind.
! remembered Daniel Draper and his
singular success in ferreting out the
mystery of Simon Gilbert's will, and it
occurred to me that it might be worth
while to call in this peculiar young
man. With some trepidation, being the
youngest member of the firm, I made
this suggestion. 1t was not received
with much enthusiasm, but Guilford
was ready to grasp at straws, and in
the absence Of any other plan asked
ME to find Draper, who aspired to be
private detective.
He was the same shock-heade star
ingeyed, dull-looking, loosely-dressed
individual | remembered, and insooth
was somewhat ashamed of him as I
took him into the bank. With pa
thence and deliberation which amount
ed almost to stupidity, he went over
all the ground we had gone over be-
fore, asked innumerable questions
about all sorts of matters having no
apparent connection with the case,
roamed over the bank in a desultory
manner which made Guilford suspi-
cious that he was looking for chance
to purloin something himself, talked
with everybody in sight, clerks, police
men, watchnen, reporters, bank Off
Gals and doctors, and finally dropped
himself into the alley and got down
on all tours and measured the foot
prints, procured one of Morris shoes,
then the other, and fitted them to
prints in the earth; tried to fit other
shoes to them; went back to the doc
tor who had dressed Morris wounds
and asked him for minute statement
OF the INJURIES; went again into the bank
and talked long and earnestly with the
employees; then went to the corner,
bought an apple, returned and sat in
q dark corner of the presidents room
for fully half an hour. Finally he
arose, shuff1ed over to where l was
talking with the president and said:
"Will you go with me? 1 think you
can help me-"
"Where?" I asked.
"To arrest the thieves" he replied,
mildly tossing the apple core in a spit
toon. 1T is time to act, and act
promptly, if we wish to save the
money. Will you come, sir?"
/ followed him. Once outside, he
said:
II desire to get search warrant for
Q certain house and warrant for the
arrest of certain person from some
justice who will keep it quiet until we
finish our work. Else we will miss one
Of the birds. Can you arrange it2"

Money in Diversified Crops.

Agricultural experiments in the
middle west for a series of years prove
that diversified farming pays best
When the farmer plants but one thing
and it fails, his work for the year is
practically lost. Fortunately this is
not often the case, for farmers as a
rule raise such variety of products
that the loss of one is not calamity
A farmer should study his conditions
carefully and plant those things best
adapted to his soil. Whatever pays
best should be given the most space and
tho best car~.-Chicagc Daily Sun.

The Family Home Run.

The national game is frequently produc-
tive of "home runs" and one of the most
interesting of this variety of talles was
made by Philadelphia batsman in Chicago.
He hit the ball squarely, and drove it over
che right field fence. 1t entered the window
in the second story of house, rolled down
the back stairs into the kitchen and lodged
in pan of dough under the stove. The nat
ural inference is that the family partook the
next day of ball-bearing bread.-Youth's

Nh SENATORS

The General Assembly adj
iourned at 3 o'clock yesterday
afternoon without electing a Sen
ator for either of the vacancies.
While this was not unexpected,
it is very unfortunate. We had
heard that in the final round up
there would have been conces-
sions on each side, which would
have made possible an honorable
compromise. But with the Union
Republicans the ultinatum was
'.Addicks or nobody" while the
seven Regulars we're as firm in
their opinion that it could be
anybody but Addicks. Now
it remains to be seen what Of the
future. That is a question that
only the future can answer. We
hope for the best and believe
that the common sense of the
great mass will prevail and that
the party can still go on winning
victories in spite of a divided
leadership.
