AN HONEST STREAK.
Which Led . Man Charged with
Theft to Take Himself to
the CalabOose.

Humor makes its appearance in queer
places, but one would hardly expect to find
it at the door of house of correction,
says the Milwaukee Sentinel. An unfor-
tunate fellow was recently taken before
a justice of the peace in Milwaukee,
charged with stealing quantity of wood.
There was not much of defense to offer,
but an attorney who knew him volun-
teered to say few words to the court
in his behalf.
The attorney began his talk, and, warm
ing up to his subject as he proceeded,
finally succeeded in making good plea for
leniency. The justice, of course, found
the prisoner guilty, but let him off with
sentence of 30 days in the house of cor
rection. When the commitment had been
made out it was discovered that there was
no constable present, SO the lawyer said
to the prisoner:
John, you know where the house Of
correction is, don't you"
"Yes, sir"
"Well, here's FIVE cents and this paper.
You take car and go out there and give
them this paper and they'll let you in.
Will you do it,"
"Surei"
And the funny part of this story il that
John kept his word.

MAKING BEEF IN FLORIDA.
surprising That SO Little IL Done
When the Favorable 'Condi-
tfOns are Considered.

"The wonderful variety of foods
and the quantity that can be pro-
duced in the south for feeding stock,
makes it all the more surprising that
30 little is done in this line. At the
Florida station an experiment was
made in feed beeves on velvet bean
forage, cottonseed meal and cassaya
roots. incidentally, it was also test
between native scrub and a grade
animal, and, of course, the grade beef
animal won. But the surprising thing
about it is the statement that the
velvet bean gave IL tons of forage and
the cassava seven tons. Feeding vel
vet beans and cassava in the form
used in this experiment, and in the
proportions used with the native
steer, one acre of velvet beans ap-
proximately balances two-thirds of an
acre of cassava. Fed in this way, this
area will feed Is average Florida
steers for market as fat beef. Where
an acre and two-thirds will fatten
Is animals, there should certainly be
no trouble in making beef profitably,
and with good beef animals used for
the work, the south could soon be
independent of the western packers,
If the farmers but know what their
soil and climate afford. Cassaya can
be proftably grown as far north as
southeast North Carolina; it has been
grown fairly well at the experiment
station at Raleigh. But for the great
er part of the south the cow peas,
soy bean and Indian corn will be the
great foods, and they can be grown
with more profit than in the west,
where feeders are already taking
hold of them. The southern farmer
who wakes up to the advantages of
his climate and grows forage and
feeds beeves will have a source of
wealth he has hardly dreamed of yet,
for he needs to buy no protein
whatever, as he can grow all he needs
in the greatest abundance on his own
land. Practical Farmer.

LESSONS FOR THE FoAL.
A Little Effort At the Right Tins
Will Render the Breaking
Process Unnecessary,

A young colt is joy to child's
heart and an object of much interest
to every normal person who has an
interest in the beautiful and graceful
in nature.
A foaPs very attractiveness, like
that of some specially interesting chill
dren, endangers its future value and
usefulness by reason of its liability
to become spoiled in the making. A
colt of few days of age has but little
fear of its own kind or other farm
animals, but it's first contact with
man brings out its dread of his do
minion inherited from early, wild an
cestry.
A little effort at the right time,
coupled with good judgment in ham
ding and training a coal, will prac-
tically make the future breaking"
process unnecessary.
The most essential thing for the
colt to learn very early in life is that
man is its complete, but well-meaning,
master. From the colts viewpoint
man seems kind of overwhelming
power against which it is entirely use
less to contend. The easiest and
quickest way to bring about this con-
dition is to begin the LESSONS very
early. When the foal is b a few
days old have a strong but trusty
man quietly make friends with the
shy little foal, then carefully, but
firmly, hold him fast by putting an
arm around his neck near the shoul-
ders, the other back of and around his
buttock. The youngster will then
make the struggle of his life, but for
no reason should he be allowed to get
his liberty until he becomes passive
and learned that he is powerless. Be
fore releasing him it will be well to
emphasize the lesson by lifting and
holding him bodily from the ground.
This lesson will never be forgotten,
and will convince him beyond a doubt
of mans supremacy without inflicting
any pain or injury.
Another early lesson should be the
haltering at about two weeks old,
when the colt is normal in form and
strength. Give the lesson preferably
out On the ground, where there is a
good, soft sod to prevent slipping and
bruises. Tie him to a solid post with
rope enough to allow his head to
nearly reach the ground. If the first
lesson of holding by the arms has
been well performed, the haltering
and fastening will not be much OPP
posed.
Some early stable lessons, which
should soon follow, are training the
foal to promptly stand over from
side to side when haltered at a cheer
full word of command, to promptly
back to the length of his fastening
and step up to. the manger at the
word, to readily give his feet for
cleaning and gentle tapping. Another
lesson, when halter-broken to lead,
should be to train him to travel
promptly at the side of his dam and
other horses when haltered to their
harness.
The foregoing lessons should be
given just little at time at the
noon hour, on rainy days or at odd
moments, so as not to exhaust or dis
courage the foal.-B. F. w. Thorpe,
in Farm and Fireside.

HERE AND THERE.

When farmers learn to produce
the best quality of poultry. there will
be buyers ready. to pay the price it Is
worth. It is said that nine-tenths of
the poultry sent to market is not Of
good flavor nor is the flesh Of good
texture.
The new methods in agriculture
utilize what once was wasted. At one
time cotton seed was deemed worth
less. Now there are millions in it. The
farm crops are bing fed upon the
farm, and the finished products are
the ones sold.
The rural free delivery is the ad-
vance agent heralding the coming of
the telephone, post-check currency
and the limited-parcels post. With
these and good papers the farmer and
his family will find the farm home the
ideal one.
"A hundred pounds of rich, grow
ing pasture grass is supposed to con-
tain about as much food-potentiality
as hundred pounds Of ordinary
milk. A hundred pounds of such grass
will make about days feed for a
medium COW.
1t is claimed that we are COM
PEELED to purchase from abroad eggs
that should be procured at home Gov
ernment reports show that there is
NO overproduction in eggs, and it is
not creditable to US as a people that
we buy eggs from other countries.
Thousands of incubators have
been put in use since 1880, and the
cold-storage process CT preservation
has enabled merchants to hold poul-
try for months, yet prices have been
greater than ever before. There's
plenty OF room in the poultry burt
ness.

Fresh Egg. Always i'm Demand.

Fresh eggs are not easily obtained,
even when the market is well stocked.
1t is only when eggs are used that
the consumer learns that they are not
fresh, and az rule he is always
willing to pay large sum for eggs
that he knows to be good and that
are delivered to him from the yard.
In order for the farmer to procure
double prices, customers should new
er receive an egg over one day old.
Secure their confidence, and deliver
the eggs to them in person. Invite
them to visit your farm, and give
them every opportunity to know your
methods. Hide nothing, and never al
low stale egg to come on your place.
When once you have secured the con-
fdence of your customers, they will
pay high price rather than buy else
where.-Farm and Fireside.

FARMER AND PL LANTER.
THE "BLUEs" AND HUsTLERs.
Different Men Show Different Meth
DDS in Meeting the Emer-
Eencies of Life.

WI HlIe was trimming an dTDOf-
vitae hedge, two farmers. met on the
road about thirty feet from me, and
after exchanging greetings they be-
gan to talk farm. One said he had
over three hundred bushels of corn
still in the field, and he did not know
how he was going to get it out be-
fore plowing-time. The continued
wet weather kept the ground in such
q condition that a wagon would sink
to the hubs in the field. He said it
gave him the "blues."
IF had three hundred bushels of
corn still in the field" remarked the
other sit wouldn't give me the
blues it would give me the hustles!'
would get it out if had to pull it
out on sleddrawn by dogs"
He then told how he once got out
five hundred bushels with home
made sled. This sled, he said, had
runners made of pine plank two
inches thick, and these runners had
shoes four inches wide made of oak
board one inch thick. The shoes were
spiked to the bottom of the runners,
and prevented them from sinking
down in the soft soil. The box held
fifteen bushels when full, and team
of horses could draw it without much
difficulty. He husked about thirty
piles, then hitched to his sled and
hauled it out. He said it was slow
work, but he got the corn out just
the same. Il wouldn't let a little
thing like soft ground keep me from
getting out my corn. If 1 couldn't get
it out one way I would another" he
added, as he started on.
What appears to be insur1nounta-
BILE difficulties to some men merely
stirs up inventive genius and in
creases determination in others. Some
farmers think they are not getting
along unless the are doing things in
wholesale way. They must do their,
framework with whoop and hur-
rah or sit down and do nothing. The
idea OF pegging away at a big job,
like the man who got his corn out of
the field with a sled, is too slow for
them, consequently they fail where
the pegger succeeds. I knew one
man who was unable to get help in
haying-time, to haul in and put in
the barn five tons of hay by himself.
He was able to put considerably
more than half load on his wagon
in the field, and on reaching the barn
he would manage the horse hayfork,
having d neighbor's little boy to lead
the horse, and when the load was in
he would go inside and level it down.
He saved his hay crop, and afterward
declared that it was not half such a
job as he feared it would be when he
began. It made him feel almost in
dependent of hired help. 1 knew an
other man to dig and wall up two
wells, each eighteen feet deep, by
himself. I once needed a well very
badly myself, and was unable to OBJ
tain help from any source, 50 1 dug
1t and walled it myself. 1t is twenty
feet deep. After DIGGING as deep as
l could throw out the earth, put in
ladder, went down and filled buck
ct, came up and hauled it out then
went down and filled it again, and so
on until l reached water I would
lower the bucket Of brick even with
the top of the wall, lock the windlass,
and go down the ladder and lay them.
1t was not such task as many seem
to think it would be.-Mrs Grundy, in
Farm and Fireside.
