HERE N THERE.

Chickens seem to have a craving
for animal food when noting says a
poultry journal. They also seem to
have a similar craving at all other
times, except, perhaps, when their
crops Ear not hold any more.
-Dairying is unquestionably the
most clearly defined, the clearest cut,
the most Investigated, the best under
stood of any branch of agriculture. 1t
is founded on the bed rock of scientific
facts crystalized into a successful art.
No Angora goats have been i'm
ported into this country from their ma
tive land since 1881, for in that year
the sultan absolutely prohibited their
expectation. Later importations have
been from South Africa, and they were
very few.
The feed supply of the southwest
is now abundant, but one-half OF this
great boon will be wasted. The feed
crops now made are capable of produc-
ing just double the number Of pounds
of pork, beef, milk, ETC., that our peo-
pie will actually secure.
Good pasture is not only the best
feed for mich cows, but also the
cheapest. Perennial p~asturage affords
the cheapest possible feed for cattle
of any kind, and during the season
when pasturage is at its best no grain
ration is needed.
The best way to save corn for feed
ing cattle is the silo method. This
keeps it in practically a green condi-
ton until it is fed, and cattle are very
fond of it, winter aud summer. and
there is less waste than in any other
way except by shredding.
NO matter what degree of accuracy
the government crop report for August
reached, nor how favorable weather
conditions may be from now on. a
shortage of corn is unavoidable.
The mich COW converts feed into
human food with less waste than does
the beef steer. This fact is attested
by the markets as well as by science.
For this reason older countries prac-
tice dairying- 1t takes a long time to
show any people
1T is highly probable that grain Of
all kinds will reach record-breaking
prices this year. High authorities In
the grain market confidently predict
dollar wheat at an early date. The
wheat crop is short and the quality
good This will render corneriug com,
paradvely easy.

THE SELF.MADE A

He Escapes.

Now and then We encounter a natural
born ice.man, says Puck. i,
Some men always seem SO very new, and
others SO very parvenu. !.
The self-made man is often a very good
sort-when he's finished.
He rarely has the govt, but he sometimes
suffers from over exertion of the egotism.
Somehow, the ears of the self-made man
often have the look of having been stolen
from a grab-bag.
The self-made man escaped one great Attic.

preached at him.
And, oh! if he could only remember that
there are always others just as insignif'
cant as himself.

own fortune who seems to have mislaid the
blueprint when he was about halfway

A R A SEPARATION.
The Dear Little Lamb was Afraid
Her Father Might Be Put
with the Goats.

~ Her father had read her the parable OF the
sheep and the goats at the day Of judgment.
She made no comment, but that night a
sound of weeping came from her room. Her
mother went as consider, relates Brooklyn
Life.
why are you crying, dear"
about the goats! On, I'm so afraid I'm
q goat" an.
"Why, no, dearie, you are a sweet little
lamb, and ii you should die tonight you
would go straight to Heaven With this
and like assuI ances she was finally pacifed.
The next night the snme performance was
repeated, and again her mother inquired the
reason,
ITS the goats! I'm afraid about the
goats!"
Didn't | tell you, dear, that you were a
little lamb"
"Oh." she sobbed, "I'm not crying about
myself. but I'm 'fraid you may be a goat.'

An Ice Cream IdyI.

Gentle reader, didst thor ever order one
plate of ice cream with two spoons? Honest,
now. in the dear old days when you were young
and there was only one girl in all the world,
and she had a round face like the full moon
and as full of freckles as the skin of a brook
;routy Did you, now? Come, W up! II
was down in the little ice cream shop, the
only one in the village, and you were dread
fully angry when the lady who waited on
you smiled, as you thought. You would
have been glad to get along with one spoon
and take turns in licking, but you were too
bashful for that. Still, you used to share
licks when you thought the smiling lady
was not looking, and love went with them,
and the ice cream was twice as sweet and
favorsome. What! You never did? You
really never did? Well, then, son.. you have
never known what Heaven on earth is; Your
education fas been neglected.-N. Y. News.

TREASURE IN CHICAGO.
Downtown District Is Weather
Than Any One Locality Heard
OF In Fact or Fiction.

Anybody can start out tomorrow
and in the course of a half hours walk
in Chicago's downtown distric, can
see more treasure than ever was
stored in that fabulously rich neigh
borhood, King Solomon's mines, says
the Tribune.
The sub-treasury in the Rand-Mc-
Nally building in Adams street is one
center of priceless wealth. Money Is
stored there as casually as lumber is
piled in a lumber yard.
In the department stores and jew
elry shops in State street and the
streets lear by n can see more gold
and silver and precious stones than
Croesus ever set his eyes on.
In a little basement in Fifth avenue
between Madison and Monroe streets
six men sit all day hammering gold.
They work with a stock of metal that
they handle as easily as a window
cigar-maker handles the tobacco out
of which he makes cigars. yet many
men work for years and do not get
money enough to buy one-tenth of
that stock.
The express wagons which roll
through the streets with grim-faced
men sitting upon the end of steel cas-
kets with rifles in their hands contain
treasure as rich as any that ever
freighted a Spanish galleon. The post
office is filled with money.
Pirates have fought and died for
prizes that did not equal the amount
of money that can be seen any day by
looking into the door of a bank.
Outside Of Wall street there is no
richer street in the world than La
Sale from the stock exchange at
Washington street to the board OF
trade at jackson boulevard, and the
entire downtown district is weather.

why Some Grow Rich.

The great profits accruing to manu-
facturers arise from the fact that OF
their raw material every particle pos
sible is utilized SO that there is pos
itively no waste that can be avoided.
In the big packeries, every hoof. hair,
bone, the scurf that is scraped from
the skin, the contents from the III
testines are all used and made into
something that will sell for cash. II
farmers would turn their attention to
preventing waste there would be more
profit in their business. Frequently
great crops of weeds are sacrificed that
would make excellent food for stock.
Valuable fertilizing material is left to
stink in heaps and have the soluble
matter leached out of it by rains. In

The Cotton Don Weevii.

Reports concerning the cotton boil
weevil are conflicting and consequently
not to be relied on, for we really know
not what or what not to believe. The
weight of testimony, however, is to
the effect that the pest is not doing
as much business as it was feared he
would. This may be because the cot
ton is late and small, and there is not
much work for the weevil to do. All
over south Texas there are weevils,
perhaps awaiting the development Of
their favorite host plant. But it Is
business to speculate, for we know not
what a week may bring forth. Let the
fight against the weevil proceed.-Farm
