Salt Prevents boating.

Mr.. Simon, of Rice county, Mimi,
says that he lets cattle go on his
clover or rape with impunity, and no
longer has any bloating among them.
His remedy, or preventive, rather, is
salt where the cattle can get it az
will. He used to notice that cattle
would leave a clover field and go to
the barnyard where they knew salt
could be found, and when they did so
they did not bloat. He has since
placed rock salt near or in clover or
rape pastures, letting the cattle
know where it is, and since that be
has had no case of bloating. though
cattle have been turned into such
pastures when they were wet. He
says his neighbors have adopted the
same plan, and with the same re-
suits. This is a good thing to re.
member and try when the time
comes.

displayed such bad taste, a fault she
was ever ascribing to men,, as the
portrait there indicates. The pair
went to New York and sailed for
London. Her Majesty's father was in
a great rage, but he sent his forgive-
ness by the first mail and followed it
as soon as he could dispose of his
property here.
"Griswold and The Rival were
soundly cured Of their folly and aft
erward became friends again. Poor
Griswold! 1t has been nearly IS
years since he died. Her Majesty is

survivor by several years.
"What is that? Who was The
Rival? Now, that is a delicate ques-
ton. But, as you have been a pa
tent listener to an old man who is
at best a bad narrator, I will tell
you. I was The Rival!"-N. Y. Times.

Heavy Loss of Nitrogen.

There is a much greater loss of nj.
trogen in stables where stock is
kept than many suppose. We know
that farmers who are careful to BED
their stock seldom think, there is any
very great loss of this valuable ele.
ment. but recent experiments show
differently. From the best authority
we learn that the loss of nitrogen
from the in stables where
only straw is used for bedding
amounts to 60 per cent, and when
peat is used, 48 per cent. Dry earth
used in stables saves about the same
amount of fertilizer as peat. The
experiment doesn't state what the
loss is when no bedding of any kind
is used, but it is very much more, as a
matter of course. In view of this fact,
it is apparent thai the quickermanure
can be carted from the stables and in.
~corporated with the soil the greater is
the amount of fertility secured.-Ru-

a Convention Chestnut.

A new twist in an old tail was re-
Gently observed in the Lewiston Jour
nal. At a Maine educational, conven-
ton Rev. Nathaniel Butler, formerly
president of Colby college, but at
present professor of English litera-
ture in the University of Chicago,
was down for an address. AS he was
about to speak, Hon. w. w. Stetson,
state superintendent of schools, said
to him:
doctor, is your address like a cats
tail?"
"Hcw is that?" asked DR.. Butler.
"Why, fur to the end," replied Mr..
Stetson.
DR.. Butler smiled appreciatively,
but kept silence. He opened his adj
dress by saying: "Your superintend.
ent just asked me if my address was
to be like a cats tail-fur to the end.
I assure him that it is like a dogs
tail-bound to occur"

WHAT He LEARNED.
Quail ON Toast Was Not Such an Un-
common DeIicacy as He Had
Supposed.

~ -. 49,. a.-E
In the wire grass region of Georgia quail
are very abundant, and are known to the ma.
tives as cartridges" says the Philadelphia
Public Ledger.
Recently one of the south Georgia "crack.
ers" sold off a lot of turpentine land and de.
cided to indulge himself in a trip to far of
New,Y York while his moley was still in hand.
Once in the amazing metropolis, there was
another indulgence he was determined on.
Delmonicp's was a name that had long ago
tickled his fancy, and quail on toast was a
high bred dish that he had long yearned to
know personally.
So to Delmonico's he hied himself, and
there ordered the 'delectable bit. It came,
he eyed it severely, then tasted, finally
sampling thoroughly. But his after com.
ment on the feast savored of that sad knowl.
edge which borders close to disgust.
"Wall, eff / hadn't come to New York I'd
never knowed that quail on toast warn't a
blamed thing but Glynn county pa'tridges
stuck up on burnt light bread"

Didn't Like Shakespeare.

A lady living in New York has a
maid of whom she is quite fond, and
whom she considers a superior young
person. Thinking to give her a great
pleasure she purchased tickets for

The next day she asked the girl how
she enjoyed the performance.

Mistake in Signals.

A retired naval officer took holy
orders and became rector of a coun-
try church. His parishioners. wishing
to give him a surprise, subscribed
among themselves and bought a naval
flag for the church tower. Directly
the old gentleman saw it he flew into
a violent rage and ordered it to be
taken down at once. One of his pa
rishioners asked why he did not like
it.
"Allow that flag to fly on my church
tower? Never! It's an insult! Do
you know what that particular flag
signifies, sir? 1t means: In dis
tress; want a pilot!'"-London Stand

FEED RACK FOR SHEEP.

many farmers, and especially those
who are feeding e few more sheep
than they have accommodations for.
The sheep rack shown in the cut is
one we made three or four years
ago for feeding roughage to our
breeding ewes. While we have plen-
ty of barn room and can easily ac-
commodate three times our present
flock, we like to feed out of doors
as much as possible. Sheep, and
especially breeding ewes, will OBJ
tain more exercise when fed in this
way than in any other. The rack is
ten feet long and two and one-half
feet wide. Cut four corner posts out
of two by four stuff, three feet six
inches long. The posts are then set
two and one-half feet apart and a
two by four spiked across on the in
side, 10 inches from the ground. For
Fside pieces, six-inch boards should be
used. The distance allowed each
sheep is IA inches from center to cen
ter, or ten inches In the clear be-
tween Stats: For upright pieces on
the sides four-inch strips were used
'Onsthe inside, as plainly shown iii
icut, four-inch strips were nailed, to
keep the hay from being pulled out,
These strips r about five inches
longer than the outside Stats, giving
a. slight incline towards the center.
To help keep the hay from being
pulled out, and for bracing the rack,
these Stats are very essential in the
construction of a rack of this kind.
The general construction of the
rack is crude. It was built of picked
up pieces of boards. When we built
the rack we did not just know which
design would be the most satisfac-
tory and for this reason did not
take any extra pains to make it
fancy. We have used the rack for
three or four years, along with two
other designs of racks for outdoor
feeding purposes, and can say for
economy and for keeping the chaft
out of the wool, we have been well
pleased with this one. We now have
under construction racks of a sim
liar design, that, will, when finished.
accommodate 500 sheep without
crowding.-Leo C. Reynolds, in Ohio

THE WAY OF THE WORLD.
An Instance Where Appearance De.
ceived ana Where Sympathy
Was ~Undeserved.

Such a plain, tired face framed in
an ancient bonnet; such kfotted,
dark hands and seam-worn garments
under her closely drawn shawl.
Every look was an appeal, every GEES
ture an apology, as she slipped into
the place next to me, the only vacant
seat on the L ear. I had a good OPP
portunity to observe her as she
leaned her sad, old head back against
the window casing, and it bobbed
about like the heads of candy-box
figures at every jolting of the train,
says a writer in the Chicago Post.
I had just cashed a check and
recounted the money as I took it out
of my purse and put it into my
%chatelaine. Sixty-eight dollars. What
a sum that would seem to the little
person at my side! How forlorn she
looked, how tired. Probably she had
just finished a days hard work sew
ing for a happier woman, only to re.
turn to an evenings toll sewing for
her WI children in her cramped lit
tie rooms.
The money in my bag represented
a little trip to an inland lake I know.
I could fairly see the wonderful brim.
ming freshness of it, the dark lines
of the trees that close it about. And
I was to have all that, while she must
stay under the beating heat and
breathe the city's sitting breath.
"Far as we go!" called the guard
Out struggled the few remaining pas.
sengers, among them the unhappy
looking little woman. My eyes grew
misty as I looked after her. In search
of my handkerchief I put my hand to
my bag.
It was gone!
I called the guard, who called some
one else. In ten minutes I had the
unhappiness of seeing the object OF
my tender solicitude marching
brazenly off with a blue-coated guar.
dian of the law.
IAN old customer" he said.
A little later they gave me back
bag and money. But I shall not really
enjoy that trip. She was such a tired
little figure.

AT H SUMMIT.

He started when the days were fair
And all the slopes were glad and green
When all the world was free from care
And peace spread over every scene.
To reach a goal that Hope had set
Far, far ahead upon q height,
And, Drawing all the foes he met,
Kept on tthe way with all his might.
He found a thousand cares that HI y
Was forced to bear along the way,
But Love smiled on him joyously
And, journeyed with him day by day:
New hopes succeeded those that died.
And little triumphs made him glad.
And men who fell behind him sighed
To have such blessings as he had.
AT last, one day he reached the goal.
So high, so distant at the start,
But joy came not to fill his soul.
Nay there was sorrow in his heart:
The place vas high that he had won,
And still a splendid place and fair
But after all his work was done,
He turned to find his rival there.
