Cassius M. Clay as a Fighter.

General Cassius NJ. Clay fought many
duels in his day, usually with his long
bladed knife, meeting pistol or rifle
equally with that trusty weapon. His
physical strength was gigantic He
was accustomed to the use of weapons,
and he was always cool and never lost
his Judgment. For example, when an
adversary shot him and he supposed he
was done for he inflated his lungs to
the full, conscious that he would live
as Pong as he could hold his breath
then he drew his knife and did his
bloody work. That was when. he killed
Turner. After all, speaking musingly,
reviewing his life, he confessed. to Il re-
porter when he was above eighty-four
that he was opposed on principle to the
duel, thinking it a savage way to settle
difficulty. But there are some cases
for which it seems to be the only RENE
dy," he added.

RAISING MULES.

a Friend Of the Horses -Ialf Brother
Sings His Praises.
The advantage of mule over horse
1s he can be taught to turn shorter,
thus preventing the breaking down Of
vegetables or other plants. He can go
in rougher places, is not affected by
heat as the horse and requires less at
te/tion in the way of currying, rubbing,
!. His feet being smaller, ne can
walk closer to tie row Of growing
plants.
To make good mule worth from
$50 to $50 at weaving time or $40 to
$3.50 as a two-year-old he should be
foaled from a large mare in April or
May. He should run with the dam I'M
til Oct 1, then be weaned. At this
time he should be at least fifty-two
inches Put him in shed with plenty
of light and feed oats, with clover and
timothy hay. Too much corn fevers
the legs and produces scratches. The
next summer he should have access to
pasture, with little corn each day, I'M
til cold weather. when he should be
brought back to the barn. At two to
two and One-half years he should be
sixteen hands high, fat and ready for
market.
When feeding. care should be given
to keep the system cool with green
stuff and keep out scratches. The fol-
lowing is good cure: Take equal parts
of blueStOne, white vitriOl and verdi
girls: grind together with equal parts Of
soapstone; mix with warm water until
about as thin as paste; apply with a
swab on the end of a stick about three
times week.
Mule colts are no more troublesome
than horse colts. The colts run with
their mothers. but separate pasture
is required for two-year-old mules.-EX-

The SilO In Emergencies.

We are receiving great many let
ters in which we are asked for informa-
ton about the silo, says Stockmah and
Farmer The reason for the increased
interest in the silo question seems to
me not that more people want silos, but
that they want them this year. The
short hay crop, together with the short
age in forage crops, suggests with con-
siderable force the necessity for econ
omy in forage feeds. The silo is long
step in that direction, and many who
have had the building of one in con-
temptation for some time have conclud-
ed that now is very good time to
build it.

When the Angora goat can be bought
at reasonable price-say So each or
thereabout-it will pay every man who
has considerable quantity Of brush
land to clear up to get flock. They
do better on this kind of land than
sheep do and besides destroy more
brush. But it must be remembered
that they are not so large as sheep
and sold in the open market for their
meat alone will not bring as much per
head as sheep win, said E. Nordman
in an address before the Wisconsin
farmers institute. Their fleece also
is not so valuable on the average as
that of the sheep. On this account
would not think it advisable to pay
the big prices that have so far OBJ
tanned in northern Wisconsin for the
Angora goat. But at reasonable
price it pays to have them If there Is
work for them to do and the fences are
built in such way as to keep them in
their place.
AS l see it the Angora goat question
may be summed up as follows: 1t pays
to get goats in the place of sheep If
one is prepared to purchase fair sized
flock and has the brush land for them
to work on. The purchase price Of the
grade Angora should not, however,
greatly exceed the price of sheep, and
they should be bought in sufficient
numbers to make it pay for the extra
fencing that would have to be done on
their account, but on cleaned up farms
or where there are not to exceed five
or ten acres of brush land on the place
in my opinion it will pay better to
stick to sheep and use the ak or brush
scythe on the large, tough bushes that
the sheep will not destroy.
Experience With AngOra Goats.
am very fond of Angora goats, and
anything l say will be to their interest,
although, like everything else, they
have their drawbacks, writes contrib
utor in American Cultivator. l only
have between 200 and 300 head on
hand at present and am young in the
business, having been interested in it
only about three years to amount to
anything, but the more see Of them
the more l want them.
They have proved to me without any
doubt brush killers; they have proved
that they will live where cattle and
sheep would die, and so far as my per-
sonal experience has gone l believe the
land they clear up during the summer
pays for the cost of keeping them the
whole year. In other words, the land
is worth enough more when they get
through with it in the fall of the year
to pay for their. wintering.
Goats will eat some grass, but live
principally on brush, leaves and twigs
if they can get it, which is the way
distinguish them from sheep, as sheep
will eat some brush, but their principal
living is grass. They are very fond Of
clover, and goats are just as fond Of
brush.
l use steel woven wire fencing forty
five inches high. which will stop any
goat if put up in decent shape, yet
believe thirty-siX inch fencing will stop
80 per cent of the goats if put up prop
erly, but the disadvantage to thirty
six inch fence is it becomes sagged
down, as is the case if heavy limbs fall
on it. l use forty-tive inches to allow
for sagging and string it principally on
trees.

THE BUYER OF BEEF.
De- Is n Man of Consequence About
the ckynrds.

the StOckynrds.
The buyer occupies a position Of con-
sequence in the stockyards community.
He is an expert. usually a man of mid
die age. who has obtained his educa-
ton and technical ability partly in the
packing houses and partly on the ranch.
An experienced buyer is likely TO re
ceive a salary of $1,000 to 5000
year, and he is worth all of that, for on
his ability to tell by moments in
spection what quality of beef will be
produced by a steer that he never be-
fore laid eyes on depends primarily the
excellence of the product issued by his
house and hence the increase OF its
business.
The buyers work IS not arduous, and
to all appearance his task is simple
one. He walks along the fat board
laid along the top of the fence, glanc-
ing keenly at the cattle in the different
pens. Some he passes by without a
pause, others he stops to inspect more
closely, and occasionally he displays
his interest in a group by asking
question or two Of the man in charge.
Long experience enables him at
glance to distinguish between a grass
fed steer and corn fed steer, to de-
eide whether an animal is entitled to
be classed as "fancy," good" or COM
mon" and to guess within few pounds
of an animals exact weight by glanc-
ing at him. The buyer makes his pur-
chases ION the hoof," paying the mar
ket price ruling for the day for the
grade in which it is decided each group
Of cattle belongs. In a few words the
transaction is completed, and the buy
er's interest in the affair Is ended

The Duke Of Saxe-Weimar once invit-
ed John Sebastian Bach, the Nestor OF
German music, TO attend a dinner at
the palace. Before the guests sat down
to the feast Bach was asked to give
an improvisation. The composer seat
ed himself at the harpsichord and
straightway forgot all about dinner
and everything else. He played so long
that at last the duke touched his Shout
der and said, 1--WE are very much
obliged, master, but we must not let
the soup get cold"
Bach sprang to his feet and followed
the duke to the dining room without
uttering word. But he was scarcely
seated when he sprang up, rushed back
to the instrument like one demented,
struck a few chords and returned to
the dining room, evidently feeling much
better. 81 beg pardon, your highness,"
he said, "but you interrupted me in a

SAFES FOR THE HOME.
CunninsIy Hidden, Even From the
Eyes of Servants.

The clumsy safe which Formerly held
the precious stones and documents of
the wealthy has practically been abol-
ished in the homes of those who can
afford 10 keep abreast of the times in
such matters, and in its place have
been introduced curiously wrought
places of concealment which the pro-
fessional burglar would have great
difficulty in finding. 4 little secrecy
has been found to be worth more than
a foot of chilled steel. The old fash
ioned home or office safe is 4 direct in
yitation to n burglar. He knows that
the diamonds, jewelry and spare cash
and valuable documents areNept there.
Otherwise, why have a safe in the
home? There is hardly man-$Tho
does not at some time have considera-
bic valuables in his home which he
must intrust to his private safe.
The most Ingenious method OF mod
ern safe builders is to construct a re-
ceptacle for valuables in the walls,
floor or ceilings of the house. The
work is as ingenious as it is effective.
An expert examines the different parts
of Il room selected for the purpose and
finally hits upon Il place wGere conceal
ment can be made the most effective.
A square Of a couple Of feet or more is
taken out of the plaster. and n chilled
steel safe is made to tit in the hole thus
made. The inside of the safe is lined
with plush for holding diamonds and
precious jewels. and there are compart-
ments for bills and valuable docu-
ments, When fitted in its niche in the
wall, ceiling CT floor, the most ingen-
ious part of the contrivance is then
made by an expert. The opening Of the
safe door is made SO carefully that it
appears as If the side of the wall moves
outward as if by magic. The spring
which controls the mechanism is often
concealed in the picture molding or
cornice some distance from the safe
itself
To make it doubly sure so that no
one would accidentally touch the spring
and reveal the hidden safe, with its
treasures, there is usually n second
spring. The first one consists chiefly
in removing a small piece Of the mold
ing or wooden base of the rim, and this
discloses nothing but bare surface of
wood. A little examination will show,
however, that this wooden surface is
divided into little square lines. One of
these squares holds the second hidden
spring. BY pressing it in a certain way
it will spring open the door Of the safe,
located probably half a dozen feet
away Consequently il workmen or
servants should accidentally knock off
the piece OF moding or wooden base
which reveals the second spring the
secret would still be intact.-Philadel-
phia Ledger.
