A Singular Fact.

A horse or mare sometimes bears a
very close resemblance to a noted an
cestor, near or remote, so far as color,
conformation and outward appearances
are concerned, and when such is the
case that animal is usually valued
much more highly on account Of his
resemblance. 1t is a somewhat singu-
lar fact, however, that the best of the
get of the most noted stations bear
but little outward resemblance to their
sires-American Cultivator.

Shredded Fodder.


Many tests have shown that the
shredded corn fodder needs after
shredding to be put where 1t will be
kept dry. All attempts to stack 1t have
given unfavorable results. 1t has heat
ed and spoiled, and those who tried
it in this way have been ready to con-
denim it. This Is not SO much because
it does not pack closely in the stack,
for the bulk of the long fodder seems
to be reduced by the shredding pro-
cess, but it is so fine that the rain
penetrates easily when dry, and when
wet it swells and becomes SO compact
that the air does not enter 1t to dry 1t
out. The long fodder with its fiinty
casing literally f1inty because it is
largely silicate of potash on the out
side) does not absorb water excepting
at the ends or places where the stalk
Is broken, and then it does not pass
farther than to the joints each side.
Those who try shredding fodder should
do so when it Is perfectly dry, and then
put it where it will keep dry. II not
so, the porous center Of the stalk abb
serbs moisture, then swells so as to re-
fuse the admission Of air to dry it out,
and then the next thing Is heating or
fermentation, to be quickly followed by
mould, and a food that Is unfit for cat
tie and especially for milch cows, and
dangerous to the health Of young anil
mals-New England Farmer.

Poultry Raising Paws On Farm.

There are many reasons why poultry
raising can be made profitable on
farm. One very important reason is
that all the food necessary to raise
chickens is grown on the farm, ready
for USE A great part of the living or
a chicken can be picked up by himself;
especially is this true where cattle are
fed extensively. Much of the chick
ems living is made from things that
would otherwise go to waste. The In
sects that might be bothersome indeed
serve for old Biddy's relish. All farm
animals, to thrive well, need some

shelter from winters storms and sum-
mer's heat. This is one of the most
expensive items in the care of horses
or dairy animals, but with all kinds
of poultry a very small shelter will
accommodate a large number. Just
along the same line comes the thought
of Enclosures. All other farm animals
have to be fenced in to keep them
home or in the right place at home,
while the poultry roam over the whole
farm-Green's Fruit Grower.

big Wars-one between France and
England; another between Germany
and England; and an international i'm

These are some of the declarations
made by Ben Tillett, the British labor
delegate to the United States, before a
free labor meeting in Chicago, and
they were received with the highest
show of enthusiasm.
Comrade Tillett reviewed the labor
conditions existing in this country and
those in the fatherland, forming many
striking comparisons which met with
the approval of his auditors. He char
acterized as assinine the man who ad-
vocates violence. He laid the present
unsatisfactory Industrial conditions to
the door of a stupid laboring public
lacking the courage to better condi-

The Chinese are an unenlightened
race, much in need of our missionaries.
They deform their girls by squeezing
the feet out Of shape. Our women only
deform their bodies by squeezing their

They sell their infant daughters. We

They smoke opium and die fearful
death. We drink booze and go out in

They think their religion the best.

They eat sharks fins. We eat tripe.

USEFULNESS GONE AT FIFTY

A sectarian paper, deploring the fact
that ministers, after reaching a GER
tain age, are apt to be laid on the shelf
says:
Most of the pulpit committees that
ask us to recommend possible pastors
practically say: We do not want a
man over forty. There is no use Of
our presenting the name Of a man over
forty Now that is a condition, and
not a theory. No matter what the
theorists may say, there is a real and
growing discrimination against men on
account Of their age, irrespective Of
their ability or effectiveness. The man
of fifty does not get a chance. Too
many pulpit committees will not even
consider him. He is ruled out as soon
as his age is mentioned"
We do not know as to the ministry,
but we do know that, as to the trades,
unskilled labor, and clerical positions,

ANOTHER HARDSHIP.
The Postoffice Department Rules
Against Credit to Subscribers.

Against Credit to Subscribers.
The Postoffice Department at Wash
ington has made another "ruling." This
time the "ruling" affects every weekly
newspaper in the United States. 1t
"rules" that a newspaper editor can
not give credit to subscriber, even
though that subscriber is friend and
financially good and responsible. That
is to say, some obscure clerk in the
Postoffice Department has undertaken
to say that the editors of weekly news
papers must conduct their business on
cash business or be denied the use OF
the mails. 1t Is within the power of the
weekly papers to have this latest out
but lay aside their political prejudices
and exert their power. This latest rul-
ing is in line with the one preceding
it to the effect that a trades union
paper must not receive advertisements
outside Of the trade they represent Do
not Republicans advertise in Democra-
tic papers, and vice versa? Are we to
believe that because a daily paper
accepts advertisements from a sweat
shop that the sweat shop Is part Of
the daily's trade? If not, why not ex-
clude it from the mails? There is just
as much reason in one as the other. It
is quite evident that combined effort
should be made by the weekly press
to give the postoffice officials at Wash
ington to understand that they will no
longer permit their business to be in
terfered with by the rulings" Of SUBJ
ordinates Tot us 90 to the head of
the government at once and give our
chief servants to understand that this
business will be tolerated no longer.

REPORTER WON.
Beef MaEnate Paid Heavily to Cues

Beef NIaEnate Paid Heavily to Cues
tlon Genuineness Of Dispatch.
Some years ago a dispatch was re-
ceived by a New York editor from the
editor of Chicago newspaper which
had not reputation for spotlessness,
but which frequently published some
startling truths.
The dispatch gave the outlines of a
reported Wall street scheme in which
the Armours were deeply concerned.
and it asked the cooperation Of the
New York editor in ascertaining the
facts. A reporter was assigned to this
work, and he called upon the late H.
O. Armour who was in charge of the
Armour interests in New York.
When the reporters errand was stat
ed, Mr.. Armour was furious. He de-
nounced the story Of the receipt of
such a dispatch from Chicago as lie
and the reporters errand as part of
some malicious stock jobber's scheme
to affect the Armour properties.
The reporter replied that when he
said that such a dispatch had been re-
ceived at his office he meant exactly
what his words indicated, and he re-
quested Mr.. Armour again to tell him
something about the story the dispatch
was false.
But Mr.. Armour wouldn't do it. He
only inveighed against the reporters
chief and repeated that that gentle
man had not received such a telegram.
'I'll bet you $1,000" Mr. Armour ex-
claimed, that your editor cannot show
me such a dispatch, and you tell him
SOL"
''Mr. Armour" was the reply, II do
not carry $1,000 or checkbook, but if
you will hold that bet open fifteen min
utes will 60 out into the street and
come back hero and take it up with
cash. It will only be necessary for me
to see one of my nearby friends"
Mr. Armour mellowed somewhat after
looking intently at the reporter for a
moment Then he said:
"Your word for it. The bet is good.
The reporter went back to the square
of the printing houses and recited his
experience He also made a strong
request to be permitted to teach Mr..
Armour a lesson, as he put it, not by
printing anything about his experience,
but by showing him the telegram and
forcing him to pay the bet.
The request was granted, and when
Mr.. Armour saw the dispatch he turned
and wrote check for $1,000 forthwith
and handed it to the reporter. Then he
said that the dispatch lied, and at any
rate the reported scheme did not mate
rialize in Wall street.
From that day Mr.. Armour was a
constant friend Of the reporter and in
turn had a friend in him, but no fiery
denial of the genuineness of his err
rands ever again met the newspaper
man in Mr.. Armour's office, and he
had often to go there.-Exchange.

INGERSOLL KNOCKED OUT.

Robert G. Ingersoll used to be fond of
telling how, when he first came to
Washington from the West he once
encountered in one Of the corridors
Of the Capitol an old negro woman
vigorously scrubbing the floor when
steps died away, busily reading her
Bible. He slipped up on her very
quietly one morning, and, taking her
by surprise with her precious book.
said: Mary, do you believe all you
read there?' II sutanly do" she re-
piled; "ebery word, Colonel Ingersoll."
do you believe that God made man
out of dust?" I'm coase I does" Say
it happened to rain hard about that
time and the dust was gone and there
was nothing but mud?" To which the
aid nanny retorted: "Den de good
Lawd knowed enough to know dat it
was time to make dem lawyers and
infidels, Colonel Ingersoll." ~. l. j: IL:

Men can belong to labor unions, at

sisters to purchase articles made in

to be. If you want to be a union man..

read it himself, but he should have

LARGE SALES OF BESSENER PIG
FEATURE OF IRON MAR
KET.
THIS METAL is VERY FIRM
GERMANY SHIPS CONSIDER ABLE
SPIEGEL TO THIS COUNTRY.
More Ii Expected as Shortage OF
Coke in Valley Furnaces Has
Curtailed Production.

CLEVELAND, Jan. 16.-The Iron
Trade Review will say this week:
Sales Of 125,000 tons of Bessemer pig
iron for delivery largely in the pres
ent quarter Of the year, are the fea-
lures of the week. The bulk of this
iron was taken by the U. S. Steel cor
poration at $15.75 at Valley furnace,
or $3.50 at Pittsburg.
Other makers were also in the mar
ket, paying in some instances SIG at
the furnace. and on smaller lots as
high as $16.25 has been paid. The U. S.
Steel corporation took all the iron Of
fered by the Associated Bessemer fur
naces for the second quarter, and 9TH
er purchases were made from outside
interests. The situation in respect to
this metal Is thus very firm, with
every indication Of higher prices. The
cutting off production due to the coke
shortage has compelled importations
and these are expected to increase in
the next few months. A large amount
OF German Bessemer iron has been
sold for this country, and among re-
cent sales in England was one Of 1000
tons of a west coast Bessemer for
delivery in the United States.
German Spiegeliesen Sold.
recent round sale Of German spie-
geliesen for export to the United
States indicates that our steel makers
have not been able to supply their
wants from such of their furnaces as
ordinarily run on spiegel. The import
movement in pig iron is apparent in
the November statistics Of the treas
ury department, which reported 49,
953 tons brought in Sin that month
against 1887 tons In November, 1900
The importation Of steel is also expect
ed to grow steadily, in the coming
months.
Independent sheet, wire and tube
mills will be compelled to seek foreign
steel In view of the announced ina
bflity Of steel corporation plants to
furnish steel in the next six months
except to customers having long time
contracts.
