Economy In Feeding.

Economy In feeding Is to sell all
produce that brings fair price In
market and buy the cheaper by-prod-
ucts Corn at fifty cents per bushel
may be sold to advantage II bran.
middlings, llnseed meal, cottonseed
meal and gluten meal can be pur.
chased at $15 per ton, as the corn
would give profit OH such nm ex-
change. A pound OF linseed meal is
worth more than two pounds of corn
as food, as the lnsecd meal contains
more protein and mineral matter The
same may be claimed for bran and
mlddllngs. They are more complete
as foods than corn or oats, though
corn and oats may also be added to
the ration for some kinds OF stock.
Where the farmer makes a large gain
by the exchange, however, Is in the In.
creased value OF the manure. The by.
products being In n fine condition re.
quIre no grinding, and when fed In
connection with hay, straw or corn
fodder, cut fine, effects saving In
food and gives n greater variety to
the animals. Such foods may he
used every month In the year.-Phila.

The value Of the coat that covers

The exceedingly smart May Manton

merit of being absolutely simple and

and can be made to serve for general
utility garment, or wrap to wear

stormy weather. AS illustrated the

Proper Food For Growing AnImnis.

The growing animal requires more
lime In It's food than one thnt Is ma
tured, as the bones are composed Of
phosphate of lime. Corn and oats
contain but very little lime, while clo-
yer, bran and llnseed meal are rich In
that mineral. A strong and vigorous
animal cannot be produced from an cx-
elusive grain diet. In some sections
where hogs were fed almost exclusive
ly on grain Investigations resulted In
the discovery that disease was due to
n lack OF the foods rich In the mineral
elements. Many cases of supposed
"swine cholera" have been traced to
the feeding of corn to the exclusion OF
other foods.

is n loss of fodder when grazed, by its

which will cut and gather the grass
and take 1t to the barn cheaply enough
while the animal has only to eat and

the saving of all the manure at the sta

No Library For Architects.

"The architects of New York City"

bers of no other professional class. In

owned by individuals. Your lawyer,
desiring TO refer to rare book, has
several places to turn to and can carry
out almost any course of investigation
right here in town. What with clubs
and other organizations, he Is well sup
piled. Even physicians and the clergy
are fairly well off. But where can an
architect find any reference book be;
yond those of the most popular or rudi.
mentary sort? He must buy his OWE.
My partner and have this year pur
$1100 into n library for our office. and
there Is hardly anything to show for
1t. A small bookcase against one mar

press either clients or clerks with oui
stored-up learning. Aud when our
draughtsmen take out book of valu.
able plates and throw 1t around the
work tables there's no telling how
much of the book will ever get put
back in place. So our $1100 Is as good
rs lost in advance. If we had $i1 900
to spend, we might get library that
would make good show for an archi
tectural office, considered as furniture
merely. But it would melt away as
the books were put into rough-and
ready use. The New York architects
need not only the books for public
or seml-public library, they need a
house for it, too, and the surroundings
and special care to make the collec
tion permanently seryiceable." New

Chicago papers do not tire of sound
ing the praises OF the city's juvenile
court, and of the good work II is
doing in the reformation of wayward
boys. The reports made are ample
justification for the praise. In the
last year six probation officers. aided
by 16 policemen, 20 truant
officers, and 40 volunteers, have
handled 5000 cases of delinquents in
the slums of Chicago. The fact that
the juvenile court has Jurisdiction in
all such cases. with power to compel
obedience, has a restraining influence
on boys and a disciplinary influence
on parents. In many cases the Of

Funeral Custom in Athens.

The possibility of getting an unex-
pected view of the corpse, which Is
carried exposed in a shallow coffin,
renders a Greek funeral procession a
spectacle which nervous foreigners
would do well to avoid. Old men and
women arrayed in somber black,
young girls and children in white
and half buried in flowers--all
the dead are thus borne for the last
time through the streets of the city
which has been their bone. You are
perhaps stopping at one of the hotels,
and hear the solemn music of the
dead march. You run to the window
and look down, and there, turned
toward you in the awful calm Of
death, is a face of marble Wilderness,
and rigid form. the poor helpless
hands crossed upon the breast. In
former times high dignitaries of the
church were borne to the grave seated
in a chair placed upon an elevated
platform. But this display was too
spectacular even for the Athenians,
and it was finally abandoned. The
cofiin-lid, upholstered with richly
embroidered silk and hung with q
huge wreath. is carried at the head of
the procession. which derive adj
ditional pomp from the numerous
banners and symbols Of the church
held high in air Priests, relatives
and mourners follow on foot. and the
men sitting at the cafes or in the open
doors rise, remove their hats and
cross themselves as the corpse passes.

OLD TIME BANKING.
How New England Institution Began
Business in 1892.

How New England Institution Began
Business in 1892.
A little book issued by the Hartford
National bank takes us back to the be-
ginning of banking, for that institu-
ton dates from 1892, and there are ex-
listing in the country only -four which
are older; two of the four, however,
surpass the Hartford by not more than
one year. A strictly local demand,
not less real because recognized by
only few persons, led to the found
ing of the bank, and the antiquated
conditions of that time were very pc
culiar Even then Hartford had a
good trade with the West Indies, ex-
changing horses, cattle, woods and
farm produce for rum, molasses and
some specie. But money was scarce
and was tenaciously held for in the
last decade of the eighteenth century
land even later trade had not
emerged from the original condition of
barter The bank came in to relieve
this friction in exchanges, but it had
also to teach the nature and functions
of bank. 1t emitted notes in small
way and by redeeming them on de-
mand in ''hard" money gradually made
people perceive that these notes were
quite as effective as the other and
much more convenient.
The next discovery was that a
credit at the bank-a mere paper en-
try which could not be handled,
| . in
an entity, and transferable entity;
thus the use of checks began, and the
old Hartford bank claims for itself that
in its own community it initiated the
use of the modern system of ex-
changes by transfers of credits, leav-
ing to cash in any form only the set
Element of the small final balances.
This bank also led in introducing dec
imal notation into Connecticut. Sterl-
ing prevailed when the bank was
founded, and UNCONVENTIONAL -alues
varied widely in the different states;
but in June, 1892, the bank-following
the Jefferson resolution in Congress
in 17S5-changed to the dollar unit, al
though the State of Connecticut did
not follow until five years later.
The oldest of the notes shown in
facsimile in the booklet dates 1916
and is peculiar in phraseology: The
| President, directors G. Co. of the Hart
ford Bank promise A. Kingsbury or
bearer to receive this note for Ten Dol
lars in payment of any dues TO said
Bank" There is no promise of re-
demption, as by later and usual forms,
by only an o U issued on the bank
and receivable from any debtor to 1t.

checks. printed on coarse paper in Ga
fashioned type and with an early at
