tor In : Former student in New
Role.
Senator A. G. Hughes is remem-
bered here as prominent student
of the University for several years,
having received both the arts and
law degrees. Those who know him
will be surprised to learn of him in
the role Of fighting editor of Terra
Alta newspaper. The following story
from the Wheeling Telegraph will
be read here with interest:
Terra Altans were afforded some
diversion on Thanksgiving by one
horse Jesse James travelling troupe
and the Independent plucky editor
of the Preston Republican, A G.
Hughes. 1t seems the same play
was given here year ago under the
same management, and when they
billed here again for Thanksgiving
night the editor touched them up in
his Thursday morning paper in the
following manner.
"The Jesse James gang holds the
boards at the Opera House tonight.
This crowd bears the same ear
marks of the outfit that came here
last year, and alter reaching town,
borrowed few old revolvers from
some of the boys, then proceeded to
do a few stunts on the stage at the
expense of those who cared to blow
some change for which they had no
earthly use'
Some one called the managers at
tention to the roast and then Jesse,
with his gang, proceeded TO do one
of his wild west stunts aud stir up
the little mountain town with ex-
citement. At the conclusion Of their
parade they rode to the publishers
office, and with drawn guns asked
for the editor. Disappointed in not
fading him at home they rode on to
the next corner and fired their weap-
ons OF warfare into the air.
Later they ran up against the ed
itor, but did not find him the tender
foot they had anticipated. A part
ofthe troupe, the manager, one other
man and three ladies happened to
stop at the same hotel where the
editor stays The manager was ap-
prised of the editors presence and
proceeded to do him up. But the
plucky little newspaper man had
evidently been up against such arti-
cles before. He called the managers
bluff, and for the next few minutes
the situation was exceedingly inter
esting. The manager questioned
the editors ability to meet in deadly
conflict his famous baud of outlaws
while the editor called the manager,
in rather strong terms, anything
else but truthful man. At this
point matters were quelled and the
famous Jesse James crowd was
forced to seek shelter for the night
at another hotel. They showed to a
very small house, not quite making
expenses. They left the next morn
ing before breakfast, not drop of
blood having been shed, and the
editor alive and we'll.

lumber, say, four by four inches, each
six feet in length, allowing two feet to
go in the ground; on top Of these two
timbers is placed two by six, as seen
in the sketch. Suspend two wires from
the timber B. faSten to trough as
shown, \ A, an at each end wire
must be fastened. Let the trough hang
about one and q half inches from the
ground.
The lamb is considered the most Gu
rious of domestic animals. 1t walks
up to the trough, puts its nose in the
trough, and by so doing the trough will
gently swing from the lamb. The lat
ter becomes curious to know what this
means, and follows it up, and finally
the lamb is freely eating the food
placed in the trough for it. This
trough has been used with marked sue
cess by one of the most extensive feed
ers in the country. 1t will be best to
use locust wood Tor outside construc-
ton, as it is very durable. The trough
can be made any length desired and
can be placed in 4 sheep shed.

Chickens as Scavcngcrs.

It is always desirable that the kitcl-
en- wastes be disposed OF effectually.
If they are thrown in the back yard or
in heaps at greater distance from the
house they are sure to decay and may
he a snTcce Of troublesome disease. 1t,
therefore. seems the part OF wisdom to
dispose Of such material where it will
be deprived Of any evil tendency. and
converting them into edible meat.
either poultry or pig, is an easy solu-
ton.
Ny reasons for preferrins chickens
to pigs are that they require less Wait
ing on. are more cleaniy. their products
more health rul and generally the profit
is larger. The pig is a good deal Of an
aristocrat. and must have his servants
carry all his food to him, while chick
ems are not above going where the
meal is.
Where the housekeeper will not
waste time in picking up all the crumbs
from the floor and scraping the dishes
absolutely clean. the sWeepings and
dishwater will carry many scrap to
the yard. After the chickens once
learn where those bits are likely to be
they will expect them and clean all up
thoroughly without any trouble on
your part This hunting over all parts
OF the ground and eating everything
that would otherwise be wasted and
produce offensive odors. if nothing
worse, makes the chicken valuable
ally in the sanitary work Of every rural
home. And when we consider the dill
gence and persistence shown in clear.
ing up all waste material. the quiet
way in which the work is done. its ef-
fectiveness in keeping our premises
pure and the profitable returns In the
way Of eggs and meat. we must con-
clude that our chickens have by nature
been endowed with those characteris-
tics that make them very effective
scavengers and, therefore. our good
friends.-American Stock Keeper.

Rain and the Hay Product.

Every farmer strives to get his hay
beyond the washing influence of rain
as soon as possible. Rain water may
dissolve and remove more than ten per
cent. Of the dry matter Of hay. and
what is thus removed may represent
quite twenty per cent. Of the feeding
value. Half an inch Of rain means
some fifty tons of water per acre. and
if the crop be equally spread over the
ground, it is, Of course, subjected to the
whole Of the washing influence of this
quantity of water. But if the crop be
put into cocks that occupy only one
tenth Of the area. it follows that the
hay will be affected by only one-tenth
Of the rainfall. that is to say, by five
instead of fifty tons of water. Not
only does water actually wash out
much Of the soluble and most valuable
constituents of hay, but it also removes
the aroma. and leaves the crop much
less appetizirg as food for stock. The
color, too, suffers, and with it the sell
ing vaiue.-The Cultivator.

Harvesting Muskmelons.

One hundred and fifty crates Of mel.
ons an acre is fair yield. I find there
is some difference Of opinion about
picking, and it is really necessary to
pick them greener when they are to be
several days in transit, but will give
you my way Of doing it. The first half
of the season pick them as soon as
the stems can be forced with the thumb
to part from the fruit without breaking
out piece of the melon with it-that
is, it must come off smooth and not
tear or break in the flesh. This condi-
ton should prevail before the canta-
loupe has begun to turn yellow, but a
cantaloupe that is in this condition and
just right to ship today will be quite
yellow and unfit for transportation the
next day.
After the season is one-half or two
thirds gone and the weather is very
hot, as is usually the case, find it safe
TO cut them off with stems after they
are full grown and have become dense
ly netted. 1t requires careful help to
pick a crop Of cantaloupes without con-
siderable losses from picking too green
or too ripe. In either case those TOO
ripe or too green should not 60 in the
package. An expert should follow just
behind every fifteen or twenty pickers
to see that they are doing their work
properly. Wagons should be ready to
take the cantaloupes to the packing
shed soon after they are brought out to
the end Of the rows.

Colonel Brigham on Federal Aid.

Colonel ]. H. Brigham, Assistant
Secretary Of Agriculture, in a recent
speech at a good roads convention,
said:
81 see no reason why the general
Government should not appropriate a
certain sum Of money to be expended
in this great work. OF course the
States, counties and local communities
should be expected to cooperate. A
little aid from the general Government
would be a wonderful encouragement
to all the people.
II hear a number Of speakers here
saying that we must stir up Congress.
Now I want to impress you with the
idea that We must first educate the
people. When the people are in favor
of national aid in building good roads,
Consressmen will be in favor Of it,
and not until then. They are not
going ahead of the people.
when one of these great popular
movements gets started. it acquires
wonderful momentum Once let the
good roads movement get thoroughly
started and nothing will be able to
stop it. or stand before it, till its great
work Is done.
II see no reason why the general
Government should not reach out its
strong arm and help the people Of this
country get better means of communi-
cation. I want to see the movement
pushed with all the energy that is
characteristic Of the American people.
When we undertake to do anything In
this country We do It, and do 1t well
We have started out for better roads.
and we are going forward on this line
tin We have as good roads as can be
found anywhere In the world"

Valuable Property Burned.

The most disastrous Ere in the history of
Gaithersburg, this county, broke out shortly
after O'Clock last Friday afternoon in the
mill of the Galthersburg Milling and Manu-.
featuring Company. When the alarm was
given by the footing of the engine whistle
the whole fourth story of the large building
was ablaze. Most likely the fire originated
In the separator, which was running at full
blast. Five thousand bushels of wheat had
just been elevated.
President j. B. Diamond and the office
force OF dozen men had but few moments
In which to save the books and important
papers, when down went the building with
a crash. Hundreds of men, women and
children from Gaithersburg and the sur
rounding country were fighting the fire
within fifteen minutes alter the alarm was
sounded.
The flames leaped to the storage ware.
house, and only very little of the mill work,
builders hardware and implements therein
were saved. Next the fire leaped to the resi-.
nence OF Mr.. Charles Smith, which was con-
snmed in few minutes, but most of Its con.
tents were saved. The live stock was taken
from the stables adjacent to the warehouse
before they also were consumed.
Mr.. G. F. Hogan's residence was soon
consumed. In this building were located

Meantime the bucket brigade was fight.
ing the spread of the fire at Mr.. W. H.
Coomes' residence and Mr.. N. II. Darby's
furniture and grocery stores, on either side
of Hogan's home. These were saved. But
while successful there the fire broke out in
the fertilizer house Of the milling company.
This, with its contents Of 800 tons of fer
tilizer, was destroyed. Attention was then
directed to the store Of Mr.. W. G. Byrne.
The stock was removed. For time 1t was
thought the whole business section OF Gath.
ersbnrg would be destroyed, including the
First National Bank, Baltimore and Ohio
depot, etc. The fire was fortunately gotten
under control here.
Messrs, Diamond and Fulks, the manag-
ing officials of the milling company, stated
that their probable loss would foot up $780,
900 TO 100000 They carried an insurance
Appropriated at $4,000, the larger portion
of which is on the mill and warehouses de.
stroyed. Mr.. Hogan's loss is about $500,
insured for 5000. 1t is considered fortunate
that there were no accidents, save to Mr..
Arthur Bowie, of the bucket brigade, who
was overcome by the heat while fighting
the fire at the Coomes home. The milling
company has resumed business and will re.
