Editor Too Strenuous.

The Cleaner was published at Man
chester, N. H., sixty years ago, and
was for many reasons out of the or
binary in the newspaper line. The
paper was published by John Cald-
well and bore under the headline the
legend, can independent newspaper
devoted to truth, both in politics and
religion" On one of the interior
pages under cut of a man in the
pillory is found q list of those who
were behind in their subscriptions.
This list became so long that the
paper suspended after an existence
of three years.

The Pestiferous Rat.

No place is sacred to the rat. From
a sleeping man to an elephant there is
nothing which he will not eat. Rats
have eaten their way through live
pig and bitten off the legs of living
birds. Some years ago the keepers or
the London Geological Gardens could
not understand what made the ele.
plants so restless, so uneasy on their
feet. Investigation showed that at
night the rats came out and gnawed
off the thick skin growing about the
nails on the monsters feet. Appar-
emily they must have fancied the horn
of the rhinoceros, too, for regularly
the keepers used to find flattened rats
where the rhinoceros had been lying.

"a pure food commission in Chicago
recently dissected lemon pie bought out
of stock and found IT to contain neither
lemon, butter. nor sugar. The principal
ingredients were various forms or coal
tar and glucose.-News item.)
They're making cotton clothes from WOOL
And iron things from wood;
They're making goodies out of scraps
And nasty things from good
They're making paper things from rags
And money out of sky;
But this Is sure the worst as yet
A coal tar lemon pie!
They're making combs from kerosene
And pearls from olive oil;
They're making Belgian hares of cats
And strip out of soil
They're making buckwheat cakes from
paste
And pumice stone-O, my!
But this is sure the time TO kick
A coal tar lemon pie!
They're making clothing out of glass
And butter out of grease;
While maple sugar made from sand
Is commoner than geese;
They make from scraps and chicken bones
Most terrapin you buy;
But anything We'll stand except
coal tar lemon pie!

There is no profit in raising poor
horses. Commencing with the colt you
will be able to feed him cheap enough
when growing, but after he is matured
and is ready to be marketed, if he is
poorly bred there is no demand for
and a trading horse cannot be consid-
cred as very desirable piece of prop

mand at fair prices. 1t costs but little
more. if any, to keep and feed them
and they can be turned into cash at
almost any time and may be consid-
cred as valuable property.

RAISE PURE BREEDS.

IF farmer will only try pure bred
pigs once he will never want to go
back to the mongrels again. The
pure breds will take less feed to fat
ten them and he can sell the choice
ones to others at better than stock
yard prices and send the culls to the
butchers and get the very top market
prices for them and generally at a
premium.
A strong argument in favor of the
pure bred animal is their uniformity of
color, which counts for a great deal at
the stock-yards. Recently while at
the Union stock-yards, at Indianapolis,
l met the hog buyer for Kingan's
packing house, and he pointed to a pen
of hogs that he had just bought and
said that they were the best in the
yards. | asked him why, as there
was a big market of hogs that morn
ing, and he said because they were
uniform in size and color and were
pure breds.
There are always buyers ready to
buy pure breds at a premium and a
great many farmers in this section are
falling into line and will soon be rails
ing pure breds. When the average
farmer learns how much pleasure as
well as profit there is in handling pure
breds, there will be many less scrubs
throughout the country. The farmer
who wants to get the most out of the
fec raised on the average farm must
have pure breds to eat it, as that is
the most profitable way to sell your
corn, hay, etc.

Queer Use for Mercury.

The use of mercury in the search
for a body in the canal at Brentford
this week is not altogether unprece-
denied. The advantage of mercury is
that it finds lower level than any
other substance that could be employ
ed for weighing graphing irons, and
is of advantage in searching through
mud or sand into which a body has
sunk beyond the reach of ordinary
dragging implements.-Pall Mall Ga

The time to do thing is now, not
tomorrow. Set a hen when she is
clucking. Keep all tools housed when
not in use. Everything that repre-
sents a cash outlay should be taken
care of. Feed all kinds of stock liber-
ally and the returns will usually be
satisfactory. Il pays to meet all obi
cations promptly if one has to borrow
money to do it. Sell for cash and buy
the same way. Keep up to date.

A CAT That HUNTS.

Well Trained.
Lester Kilgariff of Sausalito, CAL,

family, says San Francisco specia,
TO the Cincinnati Enquirer. Lester is
about IL years old. Lester is not a

low who has already learned how
much can be accomplished by kindli-
ness, patience and persistence. He
has been helped to train Minnie
that's the cats namely another ami
NAL companion of his in the shape OF
Don Roderigo, a dog of the species
point game and to bring to the hunt
er's feet the birds the gun brings
down.
"Mr. Osborne gave nae Minnie" said
Lester, when she was just little
kitten. That was about eight months
ago. She is half Maltese. When !
started off to shoot bluejays in the
hills here / coaxed Minnie to come
along with Rod-that's the dog-and
myself. At first she was inclined to
devour the birds when they fell, but
Rod and soon made her understand
that it was her duty to bring the birds
to me. OF course, when / think she
is hungry let her have a jay or two,
but so as not to spoil her l make her
mind me all the time, and do not
let her feed on anything l shoot un-
less she first carries it to me-"

FlSHlN' TIM e.

l do not know what day 1t is,

You can't tell bout the seasons
Cause they mix up so queer.
But there's one day you can't fool me,
When the sun begins to climb
And the sparrows start a-chirpin',
Then l know it's fishin' time.
When the breeze is soft and singin'
And the clouds are fluffy-white,
And the sunshine on the water
Keeps a-dancin' gay and light.
And you kind o. feels that workin'
Would be nothing short o. crime,
Then you needn't stop to figure,
Cause you know it's fishin' time.
