Who Caught the Fish?

50 Yesterday General WOODBURY. and
Sheriff Kinney went fishing at the riv-
Ter. When they returned they exhibit
ed good basket of fish, and in the lot
was four-pounder. When question
ed as to the guilty party who landed
the monster, they both spoke as one
voice:
Il did"

help me land him.
Never" responded the Sheriff III
WOODBURY. hadn't helped me out with
that fish it would never have graced my
dinner board"
"You going to eat that fish," said
WOODBURY., well not until you can
prove that you landed it,
About that time Treasurer Ryan
stepped in and offered to quiet the af-
fair by eating the trout in question.
This broubht the dispute to an end and
the trout was cooled off in Rosen-
brooks ice box.

Kerosene for San Jose Scale.

There is no doubt that petroleum,
both the refined and crude petroleum,
is effectual in the battle against San
Jose scale but the trouble with it is
that it produces different results at diff
ferent times. An operator may apply
it e;fectually on one lot of trees and
without injury to the trees, while the
same oprator's applications on another
lot will kill many of the trees. Nat
urally such results have brought pc
troleum into disfavor, and, as mat
ter Of fact, it is good thing to let
alone until more is known concerning
it. 1t is a somewhat general practice
among nurserymen and fruit growers
to use petroleum during the summer,
and there can be no objection to this,
provided solution not stronger than
20 per cent of kerosene is used with
water This is a weak solution, and
can not injure the trees and as a wash
it does check the trouble by destroying
the young scale and keeping the Older
scale in subsection until fall, when
stronger remedies may be applied.

Do AnnIcs Paw

A correspondent in the fruit district
Of New York, who for twenty years
has been growing apples, writes that
after thorough trial he is convinced
there is no money in apples. Another
correspondent located less than twenty
five miles from the first and known to
have made money in apple growing,
was communicated with. The reply told
the story. The man who gets but rs
cents barrel for apples is in the habit
of growing anything he can raise be-
tween the orchard rows. He neither
trims, prunes. sprays nor thins, and
his apples are of the poorest grade as
a consequence. The second correspond
ent last year sold his apples and net
ted trif1e less than $3.50 per acre from
his twenty-three acres, and admits that
some of his neighbors have made even
a better showing Apple growing does
pay If growers will do what is neces-
sary to raise fruit of the best possible
quality, and it assuredly does not pay
if the grower neglects his orchards.

living room also, it should receive all
possible care. If it is fairly large, has
hard wood floor and a deep window
or two, it may be thing Of beauty.
The floor should be polished or waxed,
preferably dark, and strewn with a
bright rug or two. The furniture should
match the floor, although lounge and
chairs upholstered in blue and white
cretonne are desirable for comfort and
cheer The lounge must be broad and
low, with several durable pillows. This

may call for a different style.

Premium Corn Crons.

The reports of certain corn crops
which received premiums at the Coun-
ty or local Agricultural Societies, as
exceeding 100 bushels of ears per acre,
not of shelled corn, which we sup
posed to have been meant by the ar
ticle to which we took exception, are
probably correct, and we would not
have questioned the accuracy of either
of them. Yet we remember when the
South Middlesex Society awarded a
premium to parties for having grown
something over 100 bushels of shelled
corn per acre on field of about five
acres. They ascertained the crop by
measuring square rod, which they
thought an average of the whole field,
then weighing the product of that and
multiplying by 16O. But after the
permium had been awarded, the whole
crop was harvested, husked and weigh
ed in December, and the field accurate
ly surveyed. The result showed that
the crop was much less than 100 bush.
els of shelled corn per acre, and we
think but little more than one-half as
much as the estimate of the committee
that awarded the premium. Many have
grown over or very near 100 bushels OF
ears, but few, if any, have grown 1OO
bushels of corn. - Massachusetts

shade;n tbe Pasture.

Two years ago an experiment was

profit there was in providing some COM
fort for mich cows in. the pasture. The

nossible to~giye treeSshade of any kind,
ca q rough structure was erected with
boards open on all sides, but hooded
In such a manner that some portion OF 1t
was at all times shaded. By the use
of some piping the current of a stream
IF water was carried into troughs, SO
that the cows at all times had supply
of cool, fresh water. The pasture was
situated on lowland, and as a conse-
ouence flies were very numerous and
annoying. It was found profitable to
use light blankets make of unbleached
muslin. arranged so that they could be
buttoned around the neck and come
down over each leg to the ankle. Later
in the season, as these summer DIAN
kets became sOiled, the fly remedies, or
which there are several good ones on
the market, were used with splendid
success. The result of the experiment
showed conclusively that it was proht-
able in dollars and cents to provide
tlrtse summer comforts for the cows.

Stringent Rules Hem the Cadet at Every
Side.

There is rule for everything that the
cadet does during the day, says LesHe's
Weekly. His walk and his bodily car
rage are prescribed by regulation. He
marches to class at the sound of bugie,
he eats by command he must be precise
IN the way in which he salutes an officer,
or the officer will stop him and call him
to task. There is even prescribed man
ner of greeting civilian. If the cadet
is introduced to one lfe must extent one
hand while lifting his cap with the
other. At parting he must again lift his
cap. There is not a step he can take, a
word he can say, not even a personal
matter in his days life that is not in
one way or another, governed by impera-
tive rule
AS soon as the police" work is done
it is time for the battalion to form and
march to breakfast at mess. Breakfast
is finished at about no Immediately
after it is over, "sick call" rings out on
the bugle Any cadet who feels that he
needs physician reports to the surgeon
in-charge at the hospital.
Study and recitation last until 4
O'Clock. Across the quadrangle formed
by the four connecting wings of the
great academy building sections may be
seen, as in the busy morning, marching
to and from recitation. 1t is another
period of the severest kind of instruction.
while at 40 p. M, weather permitting,
drill begins, lasting until $50. This is
immediately followed by dress parade.
At $50 formation for supper takes place.
This meal lasts until 7 o'clock
At this time of day our young men in
civil life would feel very much abused if
any more work were asked of them.
Our cadet has the generous allowance of
thirty minutes for recreation" At 100
to the second, call to quarters is
sounded by one of those precise buglers
who are the bane of army life every
where in the civilized world. Straight
to his quarters goes the cadet. He must
now remain absolutely in his own room.
The minutes pass in study, the time be-
ing all too short for the vast amount of
work that must be prepared for the next
day. If Our cadet is phenomenally quick
liz uldy llllu llilC SHOuSH " plSh up pen
and dash off few words to the fond,
anxious mother at home. Whatever he
does, he cannot turn down his mattress
and make up his bed, nor even stretch
himself upon the hard Stats before the
moment prescribed in regulations. Tao
teal officers or cadet officers are likely
to pop in upon him at all sorts of unex-
pected times, and the slightest infringe
ment of any rule must be at once re-
ported
Tattoo" is another call that the bu-
glers are required to sound. 1t is
equivalent to "get ready for bed but it
is not heard from the quadrangle until
the exact moment of go has arrived.
As soon as he hears this call the cadet
is at liberty to turn down his mattress
and make TIP his bed By 10 o'clock,
when the tireless bugler blows "taps,"
which means that all lights must be out,
the gas is turned off, and the tired young
embryo general falls into bed, to dream
again of home and other pleasant asso-
Citations until reveille rasps out once
more on the following morning.
