Love making among the dusky
maids of Mississippi is not a difficult
procedure. And thus it came about
also that in months time they had
observed the common law marriage
and had taken unto themselves two
young women whose faces were black
enough to spot the midnight Then the
Endeavorers and the foreign boards
excluded them from their societies
while the negroes threw brickbats at
the two sisters who had taken I'D with
trash SO worthless as Cinnamon. But
WI and All went along about their
way. They bought fancy clothes for
their wives and gave them spending
money every evening. For the women
the world was rosy enough even If
they were being preached against by
others of their class less fortunate

TUBERCULOSIS IN cows
Is HARD TO DETECT.

For a period of four years at the
Connecticut station four cows that had
reacted to the tuberculin test were
kept and fed and watched For the
first two or three years some of them
showed not the slightest indication of
having tuberculosis. The four dropped
healthy calves and seemed to be max
ing the most of their food On the
fourth year the disease developed very
rapidly and the animals were killed
On post-morten examination all were
found to be tuberculous. Up to
year of the time of Strengthening one
OF these cows had been very sleek
and fat Yet it was known certainly
that the COW had the disease for tbrea
years previous When slaughtered on
the fourth year both lungs were found
to be badly diseased, almost solidified
with tuberculous tissue; pleural cos
tails covered with tubercies; mAdias-
final 1ymphatics tuberculous and mes
enteric Iymphatics all badly tubercu-

the rumen and diaphragm This, 1t

YARDING SPACE NEEDED
FOR PRODUCTIVE HENS.

first began yarding fowls we found
that with a balanced ration Of a va
riety of foods they invariably pro-
duced more eggs than on unlimited
range. But we soon found that the eggs
were less fertile and our loss of chicks
was greater. These yards were so small
that we had to supply a part Of the
green food. We increased the size of
our yards and provided plenty OF
shade. This corrected the trouble with
fertility and loss of chicks. We be-
lieve the ideal way would be to have
two yards for one pen of fowls and
change occasionally. = Miller Bros,

SOME GOOD POINTERS
FOR CHICKEN RAIsERs.

From Farmers Review: There are
many good breeds of chicks, sew
eral not very good, and as many good
ana as many poor handlers OF these
breeds. Why is 1t one person win
succeed with the chicken work while
another equally as we'll situated and
started will fail? The reason why
some succeed where others fail would
better be reasons why, for there are
many. Lack of business methods Is
one main reason. All know, or should
know. what Is meant by business
methodA If you are in doubt, look up
the methods OF some who have been
successful; visit some OF your neigh
bofs who are successful; then remem-
Der and profit by the points you learn;
II you can discover no points would
advise you to go out Of the poultry
business instanter.
Lack Of regularity in feeds, in time
OF feeding and in general care. The
poultry keeper who keeps his flock on
the tenter hooks of expectation all
the time will themselves be on the
expectation of profit from their focks.
Great expectations" but unlikely to
be realized.
Changes, either in the feeds, the
housings or in the focks themselves.
Now don't explode; variety of feeds
is necessary; sudden change In feed
is detrimental-the only sudden
change allowed is from nothing to
good feed, and this sudden change
should be gradual. The introduction
OF new blood is necessary once per
year, but one should not be intro
ducing new ones into the flock at
any and all times. The probabilities
are they will take SO much time get
ting acquainted that there won't be
time for them to return any profit.
The greatest harm Is in changing
from one breed to another. This is
of course necessary when one finds
the breed he has is boarding" but
when one has a fairly profitable breed
that he is acquainted with, then
changes to a new sort, more for
whim than anything else; he is work
ing havoc in the profit for several
months at least. Some of us nervous,
Americans need to be more
like some of our conservative neigh
bors over the sea: more averse to
changes than we are. If you are get
ting good returns from your breed
and from your way of managing and
feeding, make changes slowly; IL you
must experiment yard a few of your
fowls to themselves to experiment
with; you may happen upon a valua-
BILE discovery.-Emma Clearwaters.

eRowrH OF THE BRASS BAND
First One Was Organized in 1895 by
AdoIphe Sax.

First One Was Organized in 1895 by
Adoiphe Sax.
As antiquities go nowadays the
brass band is a very ancient institu-
ton That is to say, its inventor died
in 1894 at the age of 80. There were
horns before Adolphe Sax, to be sure,
but not such horns as we have now.
for they could not play every tune in
every key. They could not even play
scale in any key. The very first
band entirely of brass was organized
in 1885, and I doubt If any of the in
struments then used could be played
upon by modern musicians without
special practice 1t is only 119 years
back to 1888, when a full regimenta1
band in the British army consisted of
two oboes, two clarinets, two horns
and two bassoons. 1t must have
sounded even funnier than Tepnyson's
famous combination of flute, violin,
and bassoon."
How long a way we have come since
1888, says q writer in Ainslee's, may
be learned from this ensemble of a
hrst-class modern band, which I give
on the authority of Thomas F. Shan
non, bandmaster of the 23d regiment,
New York national guard, probably the
best regimental bandmaster in the
United States. Note that the modern
band of forty-two pieces has half as
many oboes and bassoons as the an
Gent band of eight pieces, seven times
as many clarinets and nine times as
many horns, to say nothing of the sax
aphones, which are part clarinet and
part horn.

viceroy NeedIe.sIy Alarmed.

The ignorance which foreigners have
to combat in their efforts to open up
trade with China is well illustrated by
an incident which occurred not long
ago. Sir James Mackay is the English
high commissioner to negotiate trade
treaties in China. He wrote to one of
the viceroys, earnestly pleading that
the trade barriers in that province be
removed He received a reply from
the viceroy saying that he could not
think OF removing these barriers for
the reason that If he did the water
would all run out of his province. The
viceroy's idea of the barriers was that
they were physical dams along the
water courses over which the trade
was carried

POULTRY POINTS PICKED
UP BY EXPERIENCE.

No man that has not handled hun
dreds of fowls should start in with a
big poultry plant 1t is better to be-
gin the poultry business as a side is
sue and gradually develop it. The
side issue will teach many lessons that
will be valuable when 1t becomes the
main issue. The cost of learning is
considerable even with a small flock
With a large flock it free uently be-
comes SO great that the wnole enter
prise is abandoned.
The man that is about to build
large poultry establishment should
own his land. If not that, th.,n he
should have a long lease. To own is
better. The writer Knows of a wom-
an that built 500 worth of poultry
hoases on a rented place. In a little
over a year she concluded to move and
sold her buildings at a sacrifice, the
same to be moved from the place. Had
she owned the place she might at least
have sold them with the place or
rented them il she rented the place.
AS it was she threw most of her mon
ey away One advantage in poultry
culture Is the constant improving of
the land The owner usually gets the
benefit of this-not the renter. By all
means build expensive houses only On
your own land.
Builders of poultry houses should
consult many plans before building

WATTfRSON FIRES ON ROOSEVELT.

Henry Waterson, the great editor of the Louisville Courier Journal, re- turned to his home few days ago from a visit to the national capital. The public always reads with great inter- est whatever Mir. Watterson writes about public matters. He is convinced that President Roosevelt is playing boldly for the presidential nomination in 1904. h au editorial headed Rough Riding in Washington" MT. Waiter son says:
 'President Roosevelt is the first American who has united the elements of the devil-may-car soldier and the ready writer in the successful politi- eian. Already he has made monkey of Tom Platt. What be is going to do to Mark Hanna is, at least in his own mind, a plenty and there are 'oth- CTS.
 With these things Democrats have sothing to do. Decidedly it is not their funeral. But there are some matters going forward at Washington that do interest them and concern them not a little, because they relate incl dentally to the army and navy and arise out of certain p caliarities of the chief executive of the nation.
 ''lf it be true that the president per sonally affronted the lieutenant gen. eral of the army-if it be that in yer bally repeating department censure, questionable at best, he showed his temper or elevated his voice so that others present might hear-if it be true that even in the privacy of the council chamber he used his chance official rank to arralgn 6 veteran, a brilliant and brave officer who was fighting the battles of his country whilst he himself was ;ackliug the tin soldiers in the nursery, then not merely Demo ocrass, but all good citizens, all patriotic Americans, have to do with it.; and all such with one voice cry 'Shamsn

MARK HANNA secured the election of his favorite for speaker of the house in the Ohio legislature. The election of speaker precipitated bitter fight between the Hanna and Foraker fac tions in Ohio, which ragged with in- creasing fury for week. It was gen. era'ly believed that without th- help of a national administration Hanna would go down in defeat before the Foraker forces, but the old Ohio boss still reigns.

ARIZONA IS
 RICn IN GOLD.

During the past few years it has been hard to interest eastern capitalists in any other :hsn a copper mining propo- sition in Arizona. This was caused by the inviting price of copper and she great successes achieved in the pro- Austion of copper in this territory. Notably st Bisbee, Jerome, Clifton and Morenei. This has caused prospectors and mining operators to give their ex- elusive attention to the location, de- velopmsnt and sale of copper proper. ties. This has been the rule to the neglect of many gold properties of un- doubted value. Now that copper has suffered . decline in price mining men will give more attention to gold prop critics.
 There is scarcely doubt that if the tine and money which were expended in she hun. for copper and the dsvel- epment of copper minss in Arizona during the year of 1901 was expended in 1e03 in she search for and the devsl- spment Of gold properties. the world wenld be astonished as the result and the territory would become as famous ipr gold ss it recently has for copper. The Daily Star, speaking of "Arisona's Gold Ira," says:
 During the last six months gold veins have been discovered in many
  districts, which have been Prospested for silver and copper for years. Now it appears that gold is the predomina- ting metal. Such is the fact in the Gro Blanso and Arivaca districts, in a section of the Santa Ritas, the Qnijo- Soss. In the copper ranges of Cochise, Graham and Pinal counties gold is be- ing found and developed. In Graham county the Gold Mountain of the Gal luros promises to surprise the financial world with it's marvellous output. That will prove to be an immense gold re- zion, the product of which will put the value of the copper output of Arizona far in the shade.
