Profit In CanonA

The best chance to profit by the pro-
duction of capons would be in capon-
izing late chicks that ordinarily would
be fit for market as broilers Or roasterS
when the prices are lowest, and too
old to sell as tender chickens in jan
uary and February. Cockerels that

ing kind, like Plymouth Rocks and
Wyandottes crossed on Brahmas or

IN March, April, May and June, when
they would have reached their best,
would be the most profitable and bring

COttonseed Meal in the Dairy.
From Farmers Review: Our ex-
perience in feeding cotton seed meal
is somewhat limited. We fed it two
years ago and one year ago during the
winter. The first season we fed some
what extensively; the second only to
very limited extent The first win
ter we had only good results, except
that some of our cows did not respond
and some of them to SO small an extent
that we took the cotton seed meal
from them, as there was no profit in
feeding it. The balance of our herd
paid a good profit on the cost of the
meal. The second season we fed it we
were troubled some by securing among
our cows; different cows at different
times in different stables. At that
time we did not know what was the
cause of the trouble, but since we are
inclined to think that the cotton seed
meal was adulterated. We fed from
three-quarters to pound and a half
per day per COW. We have had no
trouble from over feeding. We do
not know what might be the maximum
amount it would be safe to feed

Monkey Tagged the Train.

DO you see that little gray mon
key? Well, he's a hero" said John
Lover, one of the keepers of the Zoo,
as he put his hand tenderly in be-
tween the bars of the cage. That
monkey used to belong to an organ
grinder, who one day got full and fell
in a drunken stupor on the railroad
track between Manayunk and Bala-
The monkey sat on the organ beside
him, waiting patiently for him to come
to. Suddenly there was q distant
whistle. 1t was an express train still
half mile away, but advancing rap
idly. With almost human intelligence.
the monkey tore the red bandanna
handkerchief from his masters neck,
leaped boldly into the middle of the
track and tagged the train. The en-
gineer, just in time, pulled up, and
could hardly believe his eyes when he
saw that he had been tagged by
monkey. Don't talk to me after this"
ended Lover, about the lack of intel
iigence in apes" The keeper didn't
even smile as he told the affecting
tale.-Philadelphia Record.

Sinai. This is the latest Ohio scheme.

the route of the exodus, and Bible stu

After Having Naive1y Turned Good
Laugh the Judge.
A young man whose features and
ness was summoned before Judge Nc
Carthy of the city court the other day
for jury duty. He Immediately ked
to be excused. When the judge asked
him what excuse he had for not sery-
ing, he replied:
II believe it is a rule of the court
that the jury is the sole judge of the
facts and the court of the law; that
the juror should only weigh the facts
as presented by the evidence, not TAX
ing into consideration any of the rules
of law governing the case; wherefore
all lawyers are exempt from jury
duty
But are you a lawyer?" asked
Judge Mccarthy.
No, but 1 have been a close student
of the law for many years.
81 am afraid that l cannot excuse
you if you are not lawyer" said the
court, smiling.
But" continued the young man with
great earnestness, the color mounting
to his temples. II am sure, If your
honor knew as much law as do, your
conscience would not allow you to
serve on jury"
After the bench and bar had recov-
cred from this naive outburst the
Judge told the young man that If 1t
was a matter which affected his con-
science SO deeply he would excuse him.

Dairy Notes,

Whether cheesemaking or butter
making be best for community must
depend on the use being made in that
community of the by-products of milk
When there is no profitable way Of
using skimmilk the whole milk can be
made into cheese. Where the milk
can be fed to calves, pigs or poultry,
butter making is profitable. Butter
making does not impoverish a farm if
the skinned milk is fed to farm ami
mails, and in that way returned to the
land. In cheesemaking the nitrogen
and phosphorus are sold off the farm
Bad milk can be produced without
the producer being aware of it. There
is difference between cleanliness and
supposed cleanliness The methods
that have been handed down to us are
looked upon as Clearly. They are so
considered except where the light of
science is turned on them. Then they
are found full of faults. The unin-
structed dairyman milks his cows in
barn that has not been cleaned out
Tor twelve hours. The air is heavy
with bad doors. He is careful to have
the milk clean and when it is drawn
nothing but white froth covers the
tops of the pals. But when he has
MIXED one COW he hangs the pail of
milk on peg behind the cows and
goes to milking another cow. Thought
lessness is the cause of the milk being
left in the uncovered pail behind the
COWS. But all of this time the milk
already drawn is taking in odors from
the stench-laden atmosphere around it.
Eigh-favored butter will never be
made from that milk

Not Sufficient Evidence.

At Fort Scott, Kan, husband had
his wife and man arrested on a very
serious charge. When he came to give
testimony against them all he could
swear to definitely was that once he
had peeked in at a church window and
saw them standing together and sing
ing out of the same hymn-book.
However, the Judge, paying no atten-
ton to the shudder which passed over
the audience, said that as there wae
no evidence that they sang out of
tune. he must let the culprits go.

A Shower of Red Sand.

ELIZABETH, N. j., April 12.-Out Of
the clouds yesterday came the strangest of
storms-a downpour that ruined the gowns
of hundreds of women; downpour not
merely of rain, but of red sand that had
the consistency of paste.
At II o clock big bank of black clouds
rolled up toward the city from the north
west. Everybody said, big shower CON-
ing but nobody dreamed of what that
shower would consist. The streets were
thronged with women bent on their Satur-
day shopping, and in front of many stores
there were arrays of goods exposed for
SALE
The storm came so quickly that few per-
sons got indoors before it burst, and when
the women finally fed into shops and looked
at themselves in the mirrors chorus of
shrieks arose Spotted hats, spotted
gowns, even spotted faces, confronted the
women. The spots were red. and it SEEM
ed that there must have been something
acid in the downpour, for tiny holes were
eaten into the fabrics
The sidewalks and the goods set out upon
them were covered with spots that looked
like thin red paste, as if some giant bill
poster had shaken brush carelessly. Hot
water had to be used to clean the walks.
