The Runa way.

A team belonging to W. d. Will
liams & Co. ran away last Monday
Starting on Main street east OF
the M. and O. railroad they ran
at top speed through to First street,
there they headed south and max
ing some short turns tilted the
wagon and threw the driver, Ben
Ridley, out at the N, c. and St. L.
tracks. At this point they pulled
loose from the wagon and sped
through First street, lined with
excited people yelling, whoa! but
the horses didn't stop until they
reached a point about two or three
squares below the post office, where
one OF them fell. He lay for few
minutes stunned, but was not Grip
pied. One man in the wagon jump
ed out before it turned without in
Jury, but Ridley's head and side
were badly bruised. Several doc
tors were on hand and the negro
was we'll bandnged an taken home,
with no dangerous wounds. Mr..
Williams informs us that Ridley is
a good driver; that this is the first
time he has lost control of his team,
and but for the wagon turning over
would have probably checked them.

EASY FOR THE DRUGGIST.
A Letter of Recommendation That
Was Taken for n Prescription
for Cough Medicine.

A young man being out of employment
recently requested a former employer to
give him a letter OF recommendation to aid
him in securing a situation. The letter was
written and handed to the applicant, who
was quite unable to read it, as was every
person to whom 1T was shown. He was
advised to take it to a printing office, where
it could be deciphered, as compositors are
noted for being able to make out the worst
specimens of writing, relates London Tit
Bits.
1t was handed to compositors in various
ofhces, and an turn given up without being
deciphered.
AS a forlorn hope it was taken to a chem
list, who, from his long experience in de-
ciphering prescriptions, had the reputation
of being able to read anything.
The man of drugs took the paper, gazed
at it long and thoughtfully, and then seized
an empty quart bottle and hurried round
the shop, taking some fluids from sundry
bottles, and finally shaking the compound
vigorously. Then, handing it to the owner
Of the letter, he remarked to that aston.

HER VIEW OF WESTERNERS.
Spinster Thought They Were Toe

Bother Her Much.

81 think that the people of the west are

she began her nightly attack with the cary

New York Tribune.
What don't you like about them?" asked
her nephew, who sat next to her and often
embarrassed the boarders by saying there
was too much water in the soup.
why, l think they are too forward, -
said the woman with the knife, as she peeled
off a thin slice for a hard working politician
and ofticeholder, who often entertained the
rest OF the boarders by telling them OF his
campa ign experiences.
Have you met many westerners?" asked
the politician, as he saw his almost empty
plate set before him.
Yes" was the prompt reply. Il was out
in California and the people out there en-
tertained me almost to death. The women
l met at noon acted as if they had known
me their whole lives by two o'clock. They
were altogether too forward. l didn't like
it."
But the men didn't bother you, aunty,
did they?" piped up the nephew.

THE FORAGE QUESTION.
The Feeding Value of Early and
Late-Cut Hay Compared-A
Matter of Economy.

One of the most common errors Is
in allowing the hay crop to become
overripe. This not only reduces the
digestibility of the crop, but also
lessons its palatability, II fact too
often overlooked in the feeding Of
farm live stock. 1t would be econo-
my, in Isl a large mount of hay
is harvested, to cut part of it even
before the crop is fully grown, rather
than to allow any considerable per.
ton to become tough and woody By
standing until the seed is formed,
Late-cut grass is not only less di-
gestible and less palatable han that
cut while in bloom, but also requires
a greater amount of labor on the part
of the animal to make the food nutri-
ents available. The labor performed
in grinding and digesting this tough,
woody material requires much en-
ergy that otherwise might be used for
such Is meat and milk. The principal
changes which take place in grass as
it advances in maturity are the in
crease in the proportion of woody
fiber and the storage of food matcri-
ais in the seed, neither Of which adds
to the feeding value of the fodder. If
the seed is allowed to develop, most
of it is lost in the harvesting; or, IL
retained, it is too small and hard to
be acted upon by the digestive sys-
TEN of the animals. The increase in
the woody fiber helps to ancase and
lock up the other food nutrients,
which are of greater value and which
might have been available before the
woody fiber had to so great an 9
tent developed. The value Of hay is
chiefly dependent upon its compost
ton and its rate of digcstibility. AS
all folders develop and advance to-
ward maturity the relative proper
ton Of protein becomes smaller,
while the proportions of fiber and
starchy materials nitrogen free IN

continue to increase in total dry
matter up to the seed stage, the in

blooming stage is in those parts of

There is an old superstition that
thunder kills the chicks in the shell,
and the hen sitting at the time of a
heavy thunderstorm is not likely to
bring forth any young. How the be-
lief originated we can not under
stand, yet it has credence all over
the world. We made a number of
tests in this direction, at one time
having Is hens sitting when a very
heavy thunder-shower came up. 1t
fairly shook the building and we be-
came curious to know what the re-
suit would be. 1t took from a week
to ten days until all the matches were
due, and yet a better lot of chicks we
never had. On another occasion we
had an incubator full of eggs, and
they had but a few days more to
come out, when a terrible storm
arose, yet the hatch was a good one.

VALUE OF SUNFLOWER SEED
A Profitable Crop for Poultry Breed
ers and One OF the Hest Egg
Producers known.

NO progressive poultry farm should
be without n plentiful supply of sun
flower seed. 1t is one of the best egg
producing foods we know of, and it
is very valuable at moulting time. 1t
loosens the old feathers, gives a fine
gloss to the new plumage, shortens
the process and aids the fowls to pass
through the ordeal with vigor and
health, SO that they are shape to
shell out eggs all winter, instead of
remaining idle for a long time while
getting their strength back. We find
that best results are obtained by
ieeding a full feed about three times
a week during the period of moulting
and about twice a week thereafter.
by a full feed we mean a handful at
night for each fowl. We would not

HERE AND THERE.

The only sure way of becoming
n successful poultry raiser is to be-
gin with a small flock and increase
as your experience will permit.
In many parts of Central Asia the
fear of locusts has caused the natives
to reduce the areas planted in cotton.
In some regions only half of last
years area has been planted.
Hog cholera may be prevented by
having healthy sleeping places for
hogs, and good, clean running water,
and a sufficient variety in their food.
This last is u very important point.
Cotton is a very expensive crop
and a very uncertain n as to any
clear profit. The seasons must be
good, the yield good and the price
good, or there will be no profit in
cotton.
Cattle will not be cheap again in
our day. The great free pastures
have been taken up out west and are
now private farms and ranches. The
future supply will have to come main
ly from the small ranches.
The worlds visible supply of cot
ton on July 5, as reported by the New
York Commercial and Financial
Chronicle, was 2,42s,272 bales, as COM
pared with 2,744, sos bales at the cor
responding date last year.
