Diversified Production PAYS.

Many a farmer is poo. to-day after
ten, twenty or thirty years of hard
work, because he has confined him
self to a single line OF production. and
that line on overproduced and conse-
quently profitIess one. To this may
be attributed much o. the downright
poverty that has BETA EN- the older
farmers who are still in the field. The
dairy farmer should not depend upon
milk. alone, nor the hop. bean or to-
bacco farmer upon hops, beans or to-
baccO alone. Each farmer, naturally
and properly, should have main line,
determined by his location, his soil
and his markets. but WITH his main
line he earn have side lines that will
give him something to sell every month
In the year and thus give him hold on
several classes of consumers. The
farms that pay are largely those de-
voted to diversified production. while
the loudest complaints of Improbable
ness come largely from those who are
distinctively single line farmers

Oats and hay are the recognized feed
for horses and, undoubtedly, if one
is confined to but two kinds of feed
these are better than any others 1t
should be remembered, however, that
horses are quite as partial to variety
as cows, and If given more or less
change in their foods will do better
work and without any more expense.
An occasional fed of roots is beneti-
cial. IS is also a weekly feed of bran
as mash. In feeding a grain ration
good results come from scattering it
over cut hay after wetting the fodder.
This is better than to feed the hay
uncut and the grain separately. and es-
pecially if clover hay. which is dusty,
is used 1t is 4 good plan to cut up
about one-half of the hay ration to feed
with the grain in the manner suggest
ed. leaving tie balance uncut, TO be
fed afterward, and give the animal
/ something to keep it busy. An occa-
sional feed of corn either on the cob or
shelled also adds to the variety. but
should not take the place of oats, es-
pecially during the spring and sum
mer. in the regular ration.

T. NJ. Davies. an American. who ha :
for two years past been excavating il,
the valley of the tombs of the kings
at Thebes, Egypt, has just discovered
a previously unknown royal tomb, that
of Thothmes ", a pharaoh of the
eighteenth dynasty. This kings mum.
my has been for some years in the
Cairo museum. having been found In
the tomb of Amen-hotep fl. to which
it had been conveyed for concealmenr,
probably in the period of the twenty

Clay seals attached to the door
show that the Egyptians of the eight

ticipated the printers art. as the raisess
part of the seals had been smeares
with blue ink before being fmpressey
on the clay. An Inscription dated j
the eighth year of King Hor-em-hel
stated that the tomb had been plum
dered by robbers but restored as ia
as might be by that pharaoh TIL
robbers doubtless got away with
the jewelry and other precious object

&C. az Grain cutter.

We present an illustration of a new
lawn mover. which has several novel
features to recommend it over the
mowers already in the field. The man
who cuts the grass will remember that
every time he lets the work go too
long it was necessary to run the
mower over some parts of the lawn
several times before all the long blades
were down. or else leave the AVN
with a ragged appearance. The prin-
cipal advantage of this new machine is
that, no matter how long the grass
gets, the first cutting will bring 1t all
down TO the common level; in fact, the
longer the grass the better the cutters
win work. AS will be seen. the cut
tefs are circular. toothed wheels, re-
volving In horizontal planes and actu-
ated by gear wheels set on the inner
ends of the driye-wheeI shafts. These
cutters are in reality nothing but set

the lawn. The saw spindles are pro-
vided with ball bearings. thus re-
ducing the friction to minimum, and

A LONG FOUR MINUTES.
Jury Decided that a Great Deal CouI,
Happen in that Time.

j
Happen in that Time.
An interesting example of dramatic
appeal to human experience during
trial and a conclusive test of the appeal
closed a case that had been before a
Western court for a number of years.
AS the case is reported in the Kansas
City Journal. the plaintiff was suing
railway for damage 10 building that
had been set on fire, it was alleged, by
"A spark from locomotive.
The counsel for the railroad based his
defense on the ground that, since the
aud the train was in the station only
four minutes. the fire must have been
set before the engine pulled into the
station. Four minutes, he maintained,
We're not long enough for Ere to start
and get under way.
The lawyer for the plaintiff made this
argument: If a fellow is sitting on a
sofa holding a girls hand, the time
travels like an express train. But IL
YOU dump a lot of sparks on the pine
roof of Il dry building in the summer
time four INMATES is ample to settle the
fate Of the structure, in spite of all eff
forts to save IT,"
There were some incredulous smiles.
The attorney took out his watch. an
handing it to the foreman of the jury
requested him to announce when four
minutes We're up.
The iurymen leaned over and looked
at the watch. Then they got tired and
settled back I'm their seats, The fore
man of the jury lowered his hand as
the signal for the beginning of the four
minutes. and rested it on his knee.
The attorney shifted his felt few
times and sat down. The Judge locke
at the clock, then out of the window.
\ deputy marshal put his head In at
the door to see what was the matter.
and waited the result of the curious
scene. Nearly every man in the room
had his watch ont and was studying
the face of Il, The speaker was sacrifc-
ing four minutes of his time. but he
knew they were well invested.
At last the foreman OF the jury an
nounced thar the four minutes had OK
pred and handed the watch hack 10
the lawyer. To every man in the room
