Net was first made by machinery IN
1868. The machine was an adaptation
of the stocking loom to laccmakinS
and was cumbrOus and not very effect

cr's son, evolved from consciousness
and experience the first machine to
make true bobbnet with perfect six
sided holes. 1t brought Il great hue and
cry about his ears from laccworkcrs,
who fancicd they saw themselves thus
reduced to bcggary.
The Ludditcs broke into the factory

the new manufacture TO other ana

Sort of Il Cannibnl.

An old farmer for many years got his
dinner on market days ut small hotel
kept by n widow.
She had long suspected that he ate
more than the price Qs. CD warranted,
so she determined to test him. She ac-
cordngly arranged matters so that
there was no room for him nt table, but
she took him into n private room the
table of which was graced by a steam
Ing leg Of mutton. He set to In good
earnest, and soon nothing was left but
the bones.
Highly delighted with his cheap feed,
on passing the bar he rendered 2 shil-
llngs for his dinner and quart Of ale.
The widow declined TO take any pay
mcnt on the ground of having incon-
venicnccd him so much.
Chuckling to himself, the farmer lift
ed down his market basket from o
hook, and, finding 1t rather light, he
tore off the covering and shouted:
"IIcre, Mrs. Brown, where's my leg
o muttonW
"Why, ye old silly" said the widow,
"ye have ate your leg for your dinncr"'

Miss Coleman, q beautiful daughter of

engaged to be married, when one day
he was surprised to receive from her a
request to release her from the prom

Jack Bixby resided on the outskirts
of the village of Riverside, In low
somewhat dilapidated wooden structure
which the village boys had christene,

widowed mother managed to eke out
an existence on the money derived from
dairy and farm produce which Jack
disposed Of at the city market.
The village young fellows always re-

But such course was of their own
making and wholly unnecessary, fol-

was not wanted.

many Of the townspcoplo were making
preparations in anticipation Of the grand

near the country station, awaiting the
arrival of the coach which was to bear
them to the scene Of festivities.
Presently one Of them csplcd Jack

dirt and mold and in fine condition for
eating.
Among farmers who have looked into
the matter the only question is which is
the best shredded, and what will it cost,
and where can l get one, and how much
and what kind of power will be required
These questions will be answered cheer
fully if forwarded to me at Experiment,
Ga. with self addressed, postpaid en-
velope inclosed. l cannot advertise, free,
in these columns.
Now is the time to decide the question
whether you will cut the shock and
shred; you can buy the shredder later.
Commence cutting down the corn near
the ground surface, using cane knife,
Or machine" or a sharp cotton hoe,
Put $50 to 200, or even a greater number
OF stalks in shock. Tie around the top
tightly with strong twine Let the shocks
remain until the stalks and ears are dry.
This will require from four to eight
weeks, according to the weather. Then
haul up and shred, or you can wait until
it is convenient. The corn will keep
better in the shocks than it will hanging
on the stalks.
Meanwhile decile upon what shredder
and what power you will use and get it
at your leisure. Two or three small farm
ers may club together and get shredder,
or one may buy a good sized one with
IA portable power, and shred for the neigh
borhood. II. J. REDDING.

Mayor R. j. Black, of McKeesport, who
left rather mysteriously last Saturday
night for the East. returned this morn
ing.
One Of the first things he did after
arriving at the office was to give the
strikers a permit to parade tomorrow af-
ternoon. The permit gives the trikers
permission to parade over all the princi-
pal streets of the city. Several thousand
men will be in line and there will be
many brass bands. The strikers, it is
said, will march to Duquesne and Home
stead and try to get the men who are at
work to see that they are out for better
ment of their condition. They think that
the parade will have great effect in
bringing out the men to join their ranks.

Select a lot that is not too rolling so

orchard will not suit. The Plant cannot

Stubble land, where you have cut wheat
will answer, provided you cut thirty bush
els per acre.
An old garden or Irish potato patch is
best. Turn the land at once, light, to
kill all grain that may b. lef1 on the
land, then make a good seed bed twelve
to eighteen inches. After breaking the
land, put on at rate OF rs wagon leads
of stable manure per ecre and cut in with
disc harrow. Any clods that may be
left can be broken with drag stone.
Let the land lie until all seeds
from manure come up, thea harrow until
all are killed. Take drill and drill in
200 pounds acid, 400 pounds koinit 200

have put the acid, etc. Cover with drag,
remove all stones, and your work is done.
The seeding should be done between Goth
of August and goth of September; if later
it is liable to be killed with winter.
Should this happen plant in spring on
Irish potatoes and try it again.
One acre in Lucerne sown as per direc-
ton, will feed eight horses from Septem-

IS fast as cut, and use hay caps If you
have them. A few hours of hot sun
burns it brown, then it is not good feed.
One sowing will last ten to twenty-five
years, the only thing that will kill it is
blue grass or sedge grass. 1t will not
stand tramping, don't tie your "old cow

A FREE HAND GIVEN CONsTAN.
Closing the Turish Embassy at Paris Would
Greatly Inconvenience theSultan
(By the Associated Press.)


Paris, August 23.-(5:50 p. Melville
the officials of the French Foreign Office
decline to confirm or deny the dispatch of
the Associated Press from Constantinople
announcing that the French Ambassador
has sent the Sultan a letter which is in
the nature of an ultimatum, they admit
having received a telegram from NJ Con-
STAINS.
The correspondent learns that NJ Con-
STAINS has been given a free hand. Any
step he finds proper to take will be fully
endorsed. The foreign minister, Mr.. Del
casse, if he deems it necessary, will with
draw the French Embassy from Constan-
tinople and Munir Bey, the Turkish AM
bassador, who is now in Switzerland will
be notified not to return to Paris, in
which case Munir Bey will probably with
draw the legation to Berne, as he is
also accredited as Minister to Switzer-
land
No naval demonstration is yet con-
templated, but the Sultan will probably
be seriously inconvenienced by the closure
of the Turkish Embassy here, which is
the center Of the espionage maintained
to watch the numerous young Turks and
other disaffected Ottoman subjects and
voluntary exiles who make their head
quarters in Paris, and who will have a
free hand if diplomatic relations between
France and Turkey are completely broken
off
