LOSES FINE MARE.

Mr.. James Gunter, from Ander-
son county. while on his way with
a young lady in buggy to visit
their friends, Mr.. r. D. Milton
and wife, at Swallowfeld, on
Monday, had the misfortune to
have his fine young mare to be
overcome by the heat, on the
Owenton pike, beyond Mrs. Pep
per's, and to die. Mr.. Gunter
did every thing practicable to
save his mare, which he valued at
$50, but in vain.

FRANKFORT. July 27, 1901.
THE WEATHER.

Monday was the record day for
hot weather in all this section of
country, and we may cay for the
whole country. The thermometer
ran up within a fraction of 106
degrees, and what little air was
stirring felt like it had come from
over a furnace and did not cool
down as it usually does after night
but remained close and sultry all
night, rendering sleep to many
almost impossible. Tuesday was
not much behind, but that night
a northeast wind changed things
and Wednesday morning was de-
lightfully cool and pleasant.

UNAVOIDABLE MISTAKE.

Even when the greatest care is
exercised there are errors that
will creep into newspaper. We
have always endeayored to make
the Roundabout a strictly relia-
bic paper in all it's publications.
But, with all the care we can ex-
ercise, there are errors. AS in
stance, in the announcement we
made in our last issue of the death
of an honored citizen of the Farm
dale neighborhood, we stated that
he had never married, whereas he
had a large and useful family Of
children, besides bis devoted
wife. Not being acquainted with
him, we made inquiry of one who
claimed to know all the gentle
mans history, and we wrote the
announcement from his state
ments.
We regret this unintentional
error, but must admit it and make
the explanation as it is.

the farm for years. Vermont clover
seed is probably no worse than any
other; and it is better to SOW poor
seed than not to grow cloyer-within
certain limits-but in many cases the
goods offered on the general market
may as well be subjected to an x
animation.
The Vermont Experiment Station
made a number of these examinations
last year. Twenty samples of red
clover seed showed an average impur-
ity of 1.8 per cent by weight. Twelve
samples of alsike clover showed an
average impurity of 3.2 per cent. By
actual count in small samples the
seeds of noxious weeds averaged about
300 to each ounce OF the clover seed.
These were principally sorrel, plan
tain, goosefoot, quack grass, pig weed,
wild carrot and kale, in the order
named. Besides these there was more
or less mixture Of other seeds like
timothy, herds grass, etc., and Of ether
species not counted as weeds. These
samples were all secured of dealers in
Vermont. Any man with a good hand
lens car often form a very good judg-
ment of the purity or impdrity Of a
sample from which he coatenpiates
buying.

Counting In Mexico.
1t is not until a Mexican girl mas
attracted the attention of a sutton tnat
she realizes that she is a person OF
some Importance. The young man IS
not bound by the conventionalitles
that surround his brother in the
states. Without the formality OF an
introduction he dispatches letters
glowing with words of admiration ana
devotion and nervously awaits a re-
ply. In the meantime he visits the
locality of her home, hoping to eaten
sight of the object of his admiration
at the balcony or as she energies from
the house to attend church. He pa
tiently but persistently promenades
backward and forward in the street,
for custom forbids his entrance to the
house, and is happy if favored with a
glance from her lustrous eyes. No
ridicule is strong enough to dampen
his ardor and no objections of irate
parents sufficiently powerful to sub
due his passion.
Mexican lovers rarely meet, for even
IL the young man is related to the
family of the young lady and has been
a caller at the home the mere fact of
his paying attention to her puts a Sc
we're restraint on his intercourse with
the family. After a time, if things
have progressed favorably, he is adj
mitted as an accepted sutton and is re-
ceived by the girl, always accompanied
by her mother, who usually does all
the conversation. But love finds many
forms of expression, and stolen
glances, never suspected, speak vol
umes for the lovers. AS the suit pro-
crosses many an evening passes with
the girl at the window or balcony and
her lover in the street below, wholly
oblivious of the passerby or his naive
or caustic remark. The duration of
the courtship depends upon the for
mality employed, the means at COM
mand of the parties and their age.
Consent for marriage is demanded
from the parents of the girl by the
suitor's father, who is accompanied by
a priest, that the pledge may be made
the more binding.

According to a French authority, M.
Trerat, who read a paper On the sub
ject at a recent medical congress in
Paris, light should not be admitted
horizontally, as by the ordinary win
dow, nor vertically, as by a skylight.
Our rooms should be so constructed as
to receive their light at an angle of
80 degrees. The objection to horizontal
light is based upon the theory that it's
rays may be contaminated by passing
through the dust and vapors which es-
cape from the soil. In any case, it is
most important that light should be
freely admitted to every floor of a
house, and, most of all, to those lower
regions which it so often fails to pene-
trate. For, according to good author
ity, it is in the lower floors that mi
crobes most do c~ongregate, and sun
shine is the enemy of bacteria.-Lon-

Royal Women on Admitting Ugly Men.
One of the fads of the bright and
beautiful queen of Portugal is a "con-
fession book" in which she p%ersuades
her friends to record their answers to
certain questions which she propounds
therein. One of the questions is, do
women admire ugly men?" To this
the empress of Russia eyes.
l believe that some women admire ugly
men-when handsome ones are out OF
their reach" Queen Margherita OF
Italy says: From Is to 80 a woman
loves a handsome man; from 80 to SO
she admires a handsome man, and
after so she worships a man in any
shape or form" Princess Henry OF
Battenberg wrote: MANY ugly men
are lovable, undoubtedly, but, then, SO
are many handsome men. However.
handsome is as handsome does,' and
a good-looking man with only his
good looks to fall back on would have
a poor chance of winning any right
minded girls affections"
In answer to another question in the
book, what quality does a woman
most admire in a MANI" the queen OF
Portugal wrote: Purity in a man is
surely as grand and ennobling as pur-
ity in a woman. The most contempti-
BILE of all things is a man with a rick

1t will be noted that the greatest
gain was made by the lots having
corn-meal as a part of the ration, the
pumpkin-fed lot being in the lead.
The least gain was made by the lot
receiving only milk and raw pumpkins.
The table shows there was a range
in daily gain from LIZ pounds in the
lot fed raw pumpkins to 2.26 pounds
in the lot receiving corn-meal in con-
nection with raw pumpkins. We also
see there was but little difference in
lot gain n average daily gain where
pumpkins were fed cooked or raw.
Again, the highest market value was
from the lot fed raw pumpkins and
corn-meal. Close to this lot in value
are the lots fed cooked pumpkins and
corn-meal; corn-meal, and corn-meal
and bran. There was but little differ
ence in the cost of the food for these
lots, the corn-meal-brain ration being
the highest.
The lot fed raw pumpkins and mllh
brought in the least money, but the
cost Of food was less by half than any
of the other lots. Estimating the cost
for each pound of gain we find the
~raw-pumpkin lot produced a pound OF
gain at a cost of only 2.39 cents, while
all the other lots required over 3 cents
worth of food to produce one pound OF
gain, and the corn-bran ration cost
over 4 cents per pound. The highest
cost to produce a pound Of gain was
in the apple-pumpkin ration, where
4.64 cents of food was required to pro-
duce once pound of gain. This was
due to the price of apples. The lat
ter, even at the low price of 10 cents
per bushel proved less economical as
a food for feeding these pigs than any
of the other rations, and where they
were used in connection with pump
kins the average profit for the whole
period was but 33 cents for each pig.
All things considered, the lots fed
pumpkins, either raw or cooked, in
connection with corn-meal, produced
the greatest profit, and at least cost
for each pound gain, live weight.
Prof. Burkett of the experiment sta
ton draws the following conclusions:
1. The cooking of pumpkins does
not increase their feeding value.
2. When pumpkins are available
for pig feeding they can be fed most
economically in connection with corn
meal.
3. While raw pumpkins fed in con-
nection with milk produced a pound of
gain at small cost, SO few pounds were
produced it Is advisable to feed corn
meal with them.
4. Apples. ever at the low price OF
10 cents per bushel. are not an econom-
ical food for pigs.
5. Bran is not desirable as a food
for pigs, eve If fed with corn-meal.
This is further considered in the fol-
lowing experiment.

Destroying the Wire Worm.

Ohio Experiment Station: The par
ent of the wire worm is an entirely
different insect from that Of the white
grub. In this case, the fully developed
insect being the slender, brownish
beetles, known as swapping beetles on
account of their habit, when placed
upon their backs, Of throwing them
selves into the air with a slight snap
and turning over and alighting upon
their feet. Their life history is very
much the same as that of the white
grub. These are also grass feeding
insects, but while the white grub is
more usually found upon higher lands,
which the female seems to select for a
place to deposit her eggs, the snap
ping beetles, or skip-jacks, seem to
prefer the lower, cooler and damper
lands. 1t is for this reason that the
lower lands are more often affected
by this pest, and it frequently occurs
that the patches Of black soil among
clay will be more especially subject to
infestation. While it would seem that
the harder and more compact body OF
the wire worm would be less suscept-
ible to climatic influences, neverthe-
less, we find no more practical preven-
ton of the occurrence of this pest than
| the fall blowing of sod lands, and, as
with the white grub, it is quite prob
able that late fall or winter blowing
will be preferable. While this does
not, In all cases, insure absolute free
dom from the attacks Of these insects,
there seems a stronger probability of
their ravages another year being pre-
vented in this way than by any other
known to lis.

A communication from the Vermont

seed absolutely pure is an unknown
article in the market. In buying clover
seed it is just a question of how much
Impurity there shall be and what the
lmpurity is. 1t is not necessary to
have a great quantity of foreign mat
ter in order to have a very undesirable
mixture. If there is a half ounce of
seed of some bad weed in a bushel of

is ready to top. In some seasons they
occur in large numbers and damage
the tobacco considerably. In the early
part of the season, as a general thing,
but few of them are found, and in or
binary seasons they are not especially
noticed during the early "worming"
of the tobacco. In August they begin
to be more abundant, and generally
leave the plant about the end Of the
month, entering the ground, trans
forming to pupae and issuing as moths
toward the end Of September.

horticultural Observations.

An apple grower in Pennsylvania
tells about a hail storm that swept
over his orchard when the fruit las
only partly grown. Where a hail stone
struck an apple a little hard knot
formed hat seemed to extend to the
ore. 1t ever remained a blemish on
the apple. While the rest of the ap-
pie would color up, the spot hit by
the hailstone remained green in color.
Have any readers of the Farmers Re-
view had a like experience?
A cherry grower says that if a sweet
cherry could be produced that would
prove remunerative it would take the
market. But the soul varieties are
the only ones that can be depended
on to give good crops. It is the same
condition of affairs that confronts us
in the growing of almost every other
kind Of fruit. The varieties of inferior
quality have the most profit in them
simply because they can be depended
On to give fair crops every year.
1t is not possible to inspect fruit in
the same way that grain is inspected.
When a barrel of apples has been head
ed up, the apples having been pressed
down as much as possible, it would be
very destructive to the apples to have
them opened and exposed to the bruis-
ing of repacking, REFRESHING and re-
heading. Nevertheless, the laws should
be stringent enough to protect both
the purchaser and the grower. Much
of the rascality complained of in the
handling of fruit is due to the repack-
ing by men that retail the fruit.
The question of what is the best
apple to evaporate is being considered
by some of u growers. To some ex-
tent it partakes of the nature of the
question, what is the best apple for
market?" In other words, it cannot
be answered except with a good deal
of modification. If good-favored ap-
pies are used the consumption of the
ev%aporated product will be stimulated,
but such good product cannot be put
on the market at as low a price as
can fruit like the Ben Davis. The ideal
apple for evaporation is a number two
or three of the first quality apples.
That takes all but the best Of those
varieties off the market, and at the
same time does not lessen the quality
of the ~evaporated product.

mand. 1t is because the middle-aged
woman is in great danger Of falling
into the commences of life-of filling
her waking hours and dreams with
nothing better than the whole world
does and ceasing to care about it. Says
DR.. Mahan, a celebrated mystic Of the
Church of England, whose keen in
sight has an enlivening gift of ex-
preston: What I dread most for
myself and for others is the gradual,
almost unconscious, descent into an
air of worldliness, which quenches the
ideal, without making one, however,
less useful, less moral, or less re-
spectacle in every way"
To hold your ideals at 80 as reso-
lutely as you hold your marriage vows
that is the one bit of heroism in a
woman's life most worthy of admira-
ton and achievement.

Analgn,nn,ed Copper Case.

New York, June 1.-THE case of CAL
win o. Geer against the Amalgamateo
Copper Company was recalled before
Vice Chancellor Stevens. i'll Newark, n.
j., yesterday. George Alfred Lamb and
Robert Carey presented a petition on the
part of Mrs. Silas +. Smith to be allowed
TO intervene in the action. Mrs. Smith IS
the owner of stock III the Amalgamted
company, which she has held as an in
vestment since the organization of The
company. There was no opposition to
her intervening in the case. The suit
was brought by the c. H. Venner Com
pany, of Boston, and CALVIN o. Geer, to
restrain the Amalgamated Copper Com
pany from acquiring the Boston and
Montana and the Butte and Coston com
panies. r.. V. Lindabury, attorney for
the Amalgamated company at the open
ing of the hearing, presented the COM
pnny's answer to the charge of the con-
plainants. He denied that the directors
of the Amalgamated Copper Company
owned $4,000 shares of the Butte and
Boston stock now. or that they had
owned 1t at any time. He denied that
they were interested in the Boston and
Montana company, with the exception
of Henry H. Rogers and William G.
Rockefeller. each of whom. he said
owned $50 shares of stock of the COM
pany and had owned them for long
time. Mr.. Lindabury further claimed
that the assets Of these companies, as
stated by the complainants. were not
properly itemized. and that there were
additional assets that would bring the
total up to s2o.0O0,00O. Counsel denied.
