We came across man lately who
had several head of nice Shorthorn
young stock of both sexes, all eligible
to registry and Of good families, and
the owner complained that he could
not find market for them at so low
price as $50 per head, the animals be-
ing yearlings. He said it was almost
impossible to get his neighbors to pay
over $50 for bull. 1t is needless to
add that the top of the market was
never reached by the beef animals Of
that locality.

J The owner of a very good one hun
dred and sixty acre farm said to us
lately that he had come to the conclu-
sion that he had too much land; that
he was going to dispose of half of the
farm and work the balance better. He
struck us as being one of the wisest
men we have met for many day.

A boy friend wants to know what
four footed animal can run the fastest.
Asking some boys what they thought,
one said a deer. another an antelope
and another jack rabbit. While all Of
these get over the ground at pretty
lively rate. none Of them can go quite
as fast as the greyhound, which can
move ut the rate Of about twenty yards
in q second. Now you boys can figure
out how many miles an hour that is.

If the ladies will Just watch the

The sum Of 500 per year in cash and
what eggs and chickens the family can
use are easily obtained from what
poultry may be kept upon the average
farm homestead given ordinary care
and attention. This sum may be in
creased to $500 where more fowls are
kept aud more attention given them.

"a lady friend of ours who is very
successful with her poultry, making
about 5000 a year from what she can
care for at farm homestead. tells us
that the forcing of the hens to produce
eggs in winter does not pay her, that
by so doing the productive power Of
the hens is much Impaired and that
they are thereby predisposed to- dis
ease. Is this correct conclusion?

There are all sorts and breeds Of mi
crobes-those which give the fine flavor
to butter and cheese and those which
spoil them, bacilli which thrive at 100
degrees Il. and produce cholera and
those which multiply at 80 degrees be-
low zero and hatch out smallpox. Hap
piness and health seem to depend
largely upon what sort Of bugs man
eats and carries around with him.

!. Passing by a poultry yard In the
country not long since, we saw over
200 Buzz Cochins in one flock, as pretty
q sight as we ever saw in the line OF
poultry, sleek, stately, peaceful and
dignified fowl. looking for all the
world like a Methodist conference.

The man of sixty should have earned
and secured the privilege Of doing only
just such work and just so much Of
it as suits his fancy and his strength.
At that age work is just as much ne
cessity to his physical and mental we'll
being as at any time of his life, but he
should be exempt from the compulsory
feature of the work Of his earlier man.

quits work entirely at sixty but cuts
short his days, becomes grouty, cap
tious, snarly and unlovely, when 1t Is
his privilege to enjoy genial old age.
TIE culture of tobacco as a crop Is
extending from Wisconsin into Iowa,
400 loads of tobacco being marketed In
one day recently in an eastern Iowa
town. The crop brings return or from
500 to $3.50 per acre, is the worst SOIL
robber known and involves a large
amount of work and care as well as
special training In order to make a
success. While the crop may and prob
ably will be grown to some extent, we
do not believe 1t will in the long run
pay Iowa farmers to convert their
corndelds into tobacco plantations.
The very heavy losses sustained by
stockmen the past few months as re-
suit OF turning their cattle into the
cornstalk fields have brought out much
so called information about this trou-
BILE. After looking carefully over
what the scientists have to offer we
find that they do not at all agree as to
the cause. some assigning the trouble
to smut or fungous growth and 9th
ers to dry murrain. Cases are cited
where the smut was fed to the extent
of half bvshel per day to one animal
without injury. while the most careful
feeding Of the stalks resulted fatally.

APPROPRIATE COOKERY.

ASKED HIM WAS HE HAWTHORNE.

The Rev. A. w. Jackson of Concord, Mass,
a retired Unitarian minister, became known
little over year ago the author of the biog-
raphy of James Martineau. He does not mind
that sort of publicity. however. 1t is his strk
ing likeness to a famous townsman of his that
causes him annoyance, for he is frequently told
that he is the image of Nathaniel Hawthorne.
Not long ago the climax of his VeXation was
reached. He was standing on the platform Of the
Concord station, waiting for a train, when he
noticed two women, evidently visitors to the
historic town and evidently from the country,
gazing at him hard as they could. He started
to walk to the other end of the platform, when
one OF them exclaimed in a penetrating stage
whisper Il don't care l am going to ask him"
So up she came, grasped the retreatinS clergy
man by the coattail, and almost demanded III
her eagerness, BE you Hawthorne?'
Mr.. Jackson looked at her a moment in ST
lence. Then. it is reported, he answered sol

Now. there were gathered together at the place

Most Shocking Tragedy in a Church.

One Of the most shocking panics that
has been reported in this country oc-
Cured in Shiloh Baptist Church, at
birmingham, Ala. where the negro
Baptist convention is in session, last
Friday. The big church was packed.
Booker Washington had just finished
speaking. A negro lawyer from Balti-
more got into row with choir leader
and the people near them called
eight" which the audience mistnok
for "fire." A minister got on the ros-
trum and called quiet" waving his
arms, which the crowd took for fur
thcr warning and they went wild.
The church is about 10 feet from the
ground, the approaches being high
brick guards. which proved veritable
death trap. The people were pushed
over, mashed up against the brick
walls, ground in the earth and mashed
to pulp in many cases. while the
mass behind struggled aud fought for
exit. The trouble was increased by
people on the outside trying to break in
through the jam.
The police had to remove the macs
from the doors. 1t was So jammed
that it could not loosen itsslf any more
thar it had been composed of so many
logs. One hundred and ten people
were killed and many injured.
