"HEY RUDE"
Marinette's Carnival Has an Exceedingly
Exciting Incident.


MENOMINEE, MICH.-A free for all
fight and probably a murder was narrowly
averted last night at the carnival in
Marinette. Deb Flynn, who is a porter at
the Mar1nette hotel very narrowly es-
capped from having his head smashed in
by a blow from a hammer. Flynn was
walking on the grounds with num-
Der Of his friends who were white, and
among the crowd there were two or three
girls AS they were passing cane stand
one of the showmen in charge made some
insulting remarks about "nigger'' walk
ing with a white girl. Flynn turned
around and asked the men who he meant.
and the man replied, II mean you"
at the same time picking up a hammer
and aiming blow at Flynn's head. He
would have hit him and probably crushed
his skull had it not been for the pres
ence of mind of one of his friends, who,
seeing the danger, hit the Snowman full
in the face, knocking him down. The
Snowman got upon his feet and started
for the colored boy again, but the carnival
police held him and Flynn made for a
dressing tent, where there were some
other colored persons His pursuer
started the circus mans cry Of "Hey
Rube," and soon there was crowd of
his fellow fakirs assembled. The mem
bers OF Company I, who were acting as
police also ran to the scene and for a.
time it looked as tho there would be a,
fierce free-for-al fight. The coIored lad
however, succeeded in getting over fence
and made his escape to town. He was
followed for a considerable distance by the
enraged man and several Others

THE PROFITABLE cow

II Is not always the COW that eivea

~ words. In answer to the statement
mat certain lot of cows gave milk
80 rich that Is pounds of it would
make pound of butter, he said: Yes.
ana 1t would take 16 of them to make
the pound of butter
Inc fact is, quality is not the only
tnlng we must seek in the COW. There
must be quantity as we'll. Suppose we
ngure on this a little. Here is COW
mat gives milk, AZ pounds of which
Will make pound of butter. In q day

butter is sold at rs cents a pound.
This the cow does 300 days in the year.

is another cow that gives milk re-

THE TRAMP OF THE PLOWMAN
Things to he Considered i'm Getting
the Best Results With Least
Expenditure of Energy.

Fall blowing time is at hand, and
the plowman will do well to consider
how he can get the most work accom-
plished with the least effort. The hit
or miss method means immense loss
of energy, large part of which may
be saved by careful computation. The
width of the furrow plowed has much
to do with the expense of energy. A
man who walks ten miles on good
road feels tired. How much more tired
will he feel after walking ten miles
over plowed ground holding onto the
handles of plow? A man, in blowing
an acre of land in burrows seven inches
wide, will travel 1875 miles; in 8-inch
burrows he will travel 12A miles; in
9-inch burrows, II miles; in 10-inch
burrows, 1910 miles; in 11-inch fur
rows, 9 miles; in Pinch furorws, 81
miles; in 13-inch burrows, ~ miles,
and in 14-inch burrows, miles. The
widest furrow possible, that will thor
oughly pulverize the soil, should be
plowed. A good team is an economizer
of labor, for man will not have to
travel as far in following a heavy
team as light one, for the reason
that a wider furrow can be turned

WHAT HE DIDN'T KNOW.
Him, but He Got Along All
Right, However.

Once there was boy who never put
things back where he found them, who
used to sit around and dream, whose
clothes never seemed to fit and who was
naturally lazy, relates the New York
Herald.
One day an able financier, who was
visiting the family, said:
THAT chap may become piano tuner
or hack writer. but there is one thing
certain he doesn't know anything about
business"
When the boy got old enough he was
put in an Office, set to add up columns OF
figures which he never got right and
shown how to run system of accounts
which we're never correct, SO the man
who hired him said:
my boy, you will have to go. You dc
not know anything about business.
And SO the boy vert out, brushed ur
against all sorts ard conditions of men,
.tarved little. failed a good deal, paid
in advance for good running stock of
experience. wrote book, wrote another,
got married. made pot of money and
one day took it into Il brokers' office to
exchange it for some gilt edged stock
that later On doubled in value and left
him high and dry on Easy street
And the correct and snpercilious finan-
c!er who handed hi1n back the papers
said:
Here, you have not signed in the right
places. Anyone Of the slightest expert
ence or g2mption would know that these
lines here should be filled out with these
words here. My dear SIR, do you not know
anything about business"
And the other man replied gently:

authorities of the Texas college saw
mat they can not fill all the demands
LOT young men qualified for positions
In agriculture, mechanics. civil ene,-
neerlng, etc, and that every graduate
OF the college can have a good posi-
tlon open for his acceptance upon
leaving the school. Before agricultur-
al colleges were established the onin-
Ion prevailed that the only education
farmer needed was reading. writing
and 'rithmetic; that the chief qualifi-
cation was to know how to handle a
piow, or hoe, or an ak, coupled with
the alb ty to split 200 rails per day.
or drive unruly oxen on q hot sum-
mer day, or break in wild mule by
thrashing all the spirit out of his hide.
II was considered matter of muscle,
and not of mind. Education has SO far
enlightened the dark places in rural
life that it is now conceded by all In
telligent people that it is even more
important to know than to do, for il
one knows how thing ought to be
done, but lacks the physical ability to
do the actual work. he can still direct
others how to do 1t to best advantage
There is no field of human effort that
Tor best results requires more scientific
learning than that of agriculture. A
civil engineer must be scientist, and
yet he may dispense with botany,
anatomy, animal physiology, entomolo-
gy and many others, the practical
farmer has daily use, and the best re-
suits can not be attained without
their aid. A complete education in all
the natural sciences is hardly prac-
ticable in this hurrying age, but a
practical knowledge of climatology,
soil physics, plant physiology, ento-
mology, animal physiology, hygiene
and nutrition, chemistry, and other
branches can be obtained and prac-
ticed by any intelligent persons, and
should form a part Of the education of
every farmer. Remember that the
schools are merely a preparation for
the acquisition of knowledge; that Gu
ucation is to be acquired afterwards.
Therefore, a full appreciation of the
value of knowledge is the first step in
the pursuit thereof, a pursuit that
should cease only with life ITSELF

THRILLING CIRCUS ACTS.
Each Year the Effort Is to Secure Mere
Startling Sensati0ns-Where
VIII 1t End1

It was about three years ago, say
the New York Post, that the circu
performers passion for making a hu
man gyroscope of himself became al
acute mania. In most of it's feature
the circus of to-day is the same a
the circus depicted on the Assyria1
monuments. There has been, how
ever, one innovation in the last hal
decade. It is absolutely necessar!
now for every first-class circus Il
contain some peculiarly hair-raisin,
feat performed with wheels or som,
sort of whirling things on some rather
elaborate piece of apparatus which
can be built up in the middle of tn,
ring. First it was the descent of 6
long flight of steps on bicycle, mex,
the ascent of narrow spiral without
any handrails on a single wheel, ther
the thrilling "loop-the-loop," then the
riding Of bicycle around the inside
of q vertical cylinder.
For the first year newly invented
feat is usually one mans property, be-
ing so difficult that no one else can do
it. The second year there are schools
to teach the act, and every third-rate
circus can put on the great act if il
cares to. Danger-loving young men
in every quarter of the globe now
spend the winters in inventing new
sensations for the circuses of coming
years. Two additions to the stock OF
feats have already been announced
First comes man who proposes to
''loop-the-loop" on roller skates. This
should be an interesting act to watch
because of the likelihood that the
man will fall on his head when he
gets halfway round. The tornado" is
even more spectacular. There is a
scaffold so feet high for the start, two
wire ropes to serve as track lead
ing down to a double loop" of wood
at the bottom and net at the wood
en- pathways end. The performer
gets inside of a hollow rubber sphere
and the assistant places the ball on
the two parallel ropes and gives it a
gentle push. It goes down, makes two
revolutions in the loop and finally
bounces into the net, when the per-
former steps out giddy but uninjured.
Twice around the loop is the best per-
Torrance yet. 1t staggers the mag
ination to conjecture what the COM
ing years will bring forth in the way

creative intellects are applying them

HERE AND There.

Free rural delivery is helping the
country wherever it is used. One OF
the conditions is that the roads must
be kept in good condition.
The heaviest tax on the farm comes
from ignorance. It may be largely
lessened by intelligent study of good
farm papers.
The well-bred steer pays you q
good profit on every bushel of corn
and every pound of hay he eats. Does
the scrub do it?
Lime is cheap, is good disinfcct-
ant, is esasily secured and is one of
the best purifiers, and should be usel
often as q wash for coops, perches,
nest boxes and the sides of the houses.
The best managers on the farm
are not those who work all the time,
but those who find some time every
day for little rest. A man will wear
longer and better if he does.
Dust for the chickens is essential.
Put boxes of fine, dry, floury road
dust where the fowls can battle" in it
Sprinkle it freely on perches, on floors,
on droppings. Furnish it in abundance.
Cattle feeders often purchase infe-
rior grades of steers because they can
buy them SO much cheaper than they
can good, high grades. This shows
that high grades sell at higher prices
than do scrubs. It costs no more to
raise the high grade than it does the
scrub.
There is no specie of poultry that
can be raised with as little grain feed
as geese. They are natural grass eat
ers, and after the young goslings be-
come large enough they will run in a
good pasture, with plenty of pure
water, and will need but little grain.
The whole mission Of the steer is
to convert feed into beef. and the
quicker he converts given amount of
feed into beef, the more pounds Of beef
he will get for the food consumed.
Keep the animal busy every day at it,
proper 1ork, from birth to sale day.
There is one thing that prevents
he farmer from adopting regular
hours for beginning and ending his
laws work. He has no roof over his
fields, and frequently rains interfere
With the progress of his work. Since
1e can not make 1t rain nights and
sundays he has to have more or less
Irregular hours.

Reputation mt stake.

In handling fruit and vegetables one
of the common tricks is in facing the
packages, but the deception is soon
discovered, and the buyer, nine times
out of ten, is pretty sure to find out
the trick, and the sellers reputation,
ii he has any, is badly damaged. If,
on the other hand, care is taken to
grade and uniformity is adhered to,
an enviable reputation can be built
up which is lasting. Buyers, whether
in the local or distant market, soon
learn the brand of the honest shipper.

A Fashion Fancy.

The smart girl has a new use fol
heavy silk cord. She is again demon
strating her cleverness by converting
it into novel corsage-decoration The
silk cord is thick and preferably black,
and here and there she sews to it big
black passementerie balls. These balls
are sometimes of silk, and sometimes
are studded with Jet beads. To look
effective the cord should be at least
five yards long. She winds it loosely
about her neck, crossing it in the back,
and keeping one end longer than the
other; she does the same thing over
and over again. until she has four
loops arranged in festoon-fashion
over the front Of her waist, with each
loop longer than the last. After she
has made four loops. she ties the two
ends at the left side in bow, the ends
of which are either finished with black
silk tassels or passementerie balls.
This cord corsage-decoration gives a
touch of charm and newness to plain
waist. and is happy variation from
the bead chains.-Woman's Home
