Nay, Mr.. Lee, doing what is right

The Columbia Herald says that
Booker T. Washington has been
promised a position Of some kind
by President Roosevelt, and asks
what it can be. First of all we
think the Herald is mistaken
about any snch promise being
made Mr.. Washington, by Presi
dent Roosevelt, and it is not at all
probable that the great educator
would accept any position were it
rendered him, as he already has a
position of which he has every
reason to be more proud of, than
any the President might tender
him.

HERE AND THERE.

A north Texas farmer says that
from eight acres of alfalfa he Sc
cured a thousand dollars worth of
feed during the past year. G..
1t is said that Rhode Island
farmer has succeeded in raising hogs
for market at a profit, thus. showing
that hogs can be grown profitably in
close confinement. &Ez4 III
"A hen, after laying an egg needs
drink of water,'' says a poultry
writer. They also need water before
laying. }i A.* 1+& ha&t4
If dusting box is kept for the
chickens it should have as much sun
shine as possible without exposing it
to rain. An old hen never enjoys her
self better than when shuffing dust
and turning on her side in the hottest
August sun. IT $gsst
l. All the entomologists who have
studied the boil weeyil, agree that by
no means can we hope for its EXTERN
ination. It is. here to stay, and all
we can hope for is to adopt such
measures as will enable the farmers
to grow cotton notwithstanding the
weevil.
David Rankin, farmer of Tarkio,
Mo, last year fed and sold $150,000
worth of cattle and $111,500 worth OF
Nhogs on the products of his
farm. His motto is: "Thou shalt not
sell corn.'' He might add to this wise
maxim-nor any other feed.
Some of our readers will be sur
prised after reading the poultry liter
ature of the day, to learn that it is
possible to raise chickens and have
hens lay without feeding cut alfalfa
hay or green cut bones, and yet this
has been done ever since we can re-
member. ls@,.-
-"The fancy poultry mans lot is
one continued round of pleasure, "
says an exchange. We heard of case
once where this w ould not apply, for
the fancy poultry man kept thirteen
different breeds, and he stood the
mental strain as long as he could and
then went off and drowned himself.
Those who wish to raise more
than 'ta few chickens" should have al
incubator, and also q brooder. Hens
are not always ready to sit when you
want them to; the incubator is ever
ready, and one incubator is no more
trouble to, manage than, two or three
hens-ands oftens less trouble than ons
peryerse old biddy.

Animals and I'OisOns.

Certain substances which are deadly
in their effects upon men can be taken
by the brute creation with impunity
Horses can take large doses of anti
mony, dogs of mercury, goats CT to-
bacco, mice of hemlock, and rabbits OF
belladonna, without injury. On the
other hand dogs and cats are much
more susceptible to the influence OF
chloroform than man, and are much
sooner killed by it. If this invaluable
anaesthetic had been first tried upon
animals, we should probably have never
enjoyed its blessings, as it would have
been found to be SO fatal that it's dis
coverers would have been afraid to
test its effects upon human beings. 1t
is evident, then, that an experiment
upon an animal can never be the means
of any certain deductions so far as
man is concerned.-Family Doctor.

BETTER THAN DYNAMITE.
Powerful Blasting Powder RS That Arc
Not So Dangerous and More
Durable.

Blasting powders are now coming
into use which are as cheap and power
full as dynamite, but safer. Dyna-
mite is mixture of nitro-g glycerine-
the true explosive agent-with spe-
cial kind of earth designed to give it
body. It is not uncommon for the
nitro-glycerine to leak out Of the COM
bination. \ single drop of the fluid,
falling on solid surface, will often
cause an explosion. Dynamite easily
freezes, and attempts to thaw it fre-
quently result in overheating and ex-
plosion. Soaking iD hot water or ex-
posure to sunshine for several hours
will rot it. When this deterioration
begins, the stuff is more than usually
off prematurely.
Some Of the modern blasting pow
ders are solid. SO that there is nothing
to leak out or to freeze, or to require
thawing. They are practically unin-
fuenced by weather or exposure. At
least one is so tough that it can be
hammered on an anvil without ignit-
ing. Ihe thrustlng CT red-hot iron
into this variety will cause it to burn,
but not to explode. 1t can be fired
only with a detonating. cap. The En-
gineering News mentions another sig
nificant test. A stick of this particular
powder was exploded in the proper
manner outside and on top Of box
containing so pounds more of it, and
the latter was unhurt. The fumes left
by dynamite make ore sick, while
other powders are less liable to do so.
Wide-awake contractors, who have
blasting to do, especially in winter,
would do well to look into this matter.
It seems to be possible to reduce the
danger of their work by selecting
proper substitutes for the means for
merly employed.

COULDN'T LOCK THE DOOR.
COurtly Old Virginian Wanted Pri-
vacy at His Hotel and Had 1t nt
Els own Expense.

He was an elegant old gentleman
from Virginia. Anyone would have
known that he came from that state
without even asking. His aristocratic
face and bearing, his white hair and
mustache, his courtly manner and soft
elision of certain syllables, all pro-
claimed him of type becoming more
and more rare with each ensuing year.
No one was surprised when the clerk
of the hotel which he had just en-
tered addressed him as colonel The
title certainly fitted him. The writer
afterward discovered that he is bona
fde colonel, having served through
what was until recently called the late
unpleasantness, relates the Washing
ton Post.
swell, colonel" said the clerk, who
came from the old gentleman's town
in Virginia, you want the best in the
house, of course?"
Certainly, certainly, suh!" an
swered the colonel, to whom money
mattered not. "About how much, sub.
did yousay per day?''
Twelve dollars, suh.'
''Very good. suh," said the Virginia.
"Perfectly satisfactory, suh.'
Then he was shown upstairs.
After he had been at the hotel
few days his son, who happened to be
in town, called upon the governor"
and found him in very comfortable
room. but nothing very elegant. at
least not luxurious enough to be pay
ing $12 day.
Il have nothing to complain OF"
said the colonel, Except that that stu
pid bell-boy neglects to lock this door
leading from my room into that of
the Lord knows who. So it is that l
am obliged to fasten the door by chairs
and things. It's good thing I've
served my time in the army, my boy.
Who knows whether a burglar or
some siren occupies that next room?
I laid awake last night wondering who
is in there, and whether he or she
might get it into their heads to in
vestigate this room"
"I'll speak to the clerk" said the
son, but by the time he had gotten
downstairs his mind was fixed on other
things.
Two or three days later the colonel
asked the clerk for his bill.
"And were you very comfortable,
colonel?"
Perfectly, suh.''' ..,-z .. 20.
'And didn't you like the way your
rooms were fitted up?''
''My rooms!" exclaimed the colonel.
'Why, I only had one room. suh.'
''Oh, no. I gave you a suite. Parlor.
bedroom and bath. What did you sup
pose you were paying $12 a Gay for??''
Then light dawned upon the colonel
and he understood all about the room
that wasn't locked.
t''By Jove. sub" he says in telling the
story on himself, 81 barred myself out
of my own bedroom and parlor for
nearly week"

Provided the slop is Good.

81 ps are good and wholesome food
for hogs when properly compounded,
but the putrid mass hauled by feed
ers from city hotels and restau-
rants. are vile enough to poison not
only the hog, but those who eat the
flesh thereof. Much of this stuff is
so foul that scavengers and others
who transport it are required to ham
die it in air and stink tight recepta-
cles for the safety of the community.
It is hauled away to suburban feed
ing pens, and dealt out to the hogs.
For time they seem to thrive on it,
but they soon sicken and die. The
trick is to butcher, them as soon as
the first symptoms of disease appears.
This food is extensively used in and
about all large cities, as it costs moth
