GIRL AND DOG CAUSE PANIC.
Ugly Canine Responsible for Big Scare
in Louisville

An ugly bulldog and a pretty girl at
opposite ends of slken cord caused
panic among shoppers in the busiest part
Of Market street, Louisville, in which
three women tainted, team ran away
and a motorman strained his neck in an
effort to stop his car in time to avoid
fatality
The dog refused to give his name, but
he admitted, at least by implication, that
he belonged to Miss Marjory Weissinger,
who, in addition to being considered one
of the most beautiful women in Louis
vile, has the distinction of being. the
daughter of one of that city's wealthiest
men. Miss Weissinger and her pet were
out for their daily constitutional. All
went well until the bulldog spied an in
offensive terrier in the middle OF the
street.
He was enraged that any other dog
should have the presumption to walk the
same street, and gave a frantic lunge to
get at his foe. Miss Weissinger hung
gamely to the cord, but as the two strug-
gled about the pavement, three women
tainted and other shoppers scattered IN
alarm. Finally the bulldog. got away
and started down the street after the ter
rier, yelplng defiance as he went, A
team of horses ran away and colllded
with a street car, but the bulldog had no
time to pay attention to such trivialities.
He caught the terrier in the middle of
the car tracks and proceeded to give him
a lesson in etiquette A street car was
stopped just in time to avoid running
over the dogs. In moment, however,
Miss Weissinger arrived, pried her pet
loose from what was left of the terrier
and led him struggling away.
"How terrible" murmured a woman.
Then she tainted at sight of the terriers

Finishing on COOps.

One of the economics in the poultry
business is to have coops which may
be used for any desired purpose with
out making it necessary to in any way
subdivide the main poultry house.
Coops for sick fowls, coops for the
ROSTERS, coops for the broody hen and
coops to finish off the birds which are
to go to market later. One of the best
designs for the latter purpose can be
built on the sunny side of the barn or
the poultry house proper, thus saving
the expense for lumber. This coop Is
three feet in width, and any length de-
sired, but figured so that the lumber
will not cut to waste,
Hake the frame of rough lumber,
using any odds and ends one may
have around the place; cover roof and
sides and ends with tarred paper. For
ventilation, six-inch space is left the
entire length of the house at the lower
end and this is covered with wire net
ting. For further ventilation holes are
bored in one end at the high side near
the top. At the lower part of the
house under the ventiatinG space the
boards are arranged SO that the one
nearest the ground is hinged to the
one above 1t for ease In cleaning the
coop. The door Ia one end is made

Mailing the Ghost.

An extraordinary instance of rustic
superstition has been brought to light in
an Hungarian village. Owing to sinister
rumors as to the cause Of death, the au-
thorties had the body Of a peasant ex-
humed, and were Mortified to find the
hands and feet nailed down to the coffin,
while long nail had also been driven
through the heart. An inquiry was at
once held, with the result that an old
woman confessed that the act had been
perpetrated under her directions. The
man had died sudden death, and, there
being a superstition in Hungary that per-
sons dying under such circumstances
haunt the house in which they die, the
further superstition has grown up that
post-mortem Temperatures can be pre-
vented by mailing the body in its coffin,
The old woman further admitted having
done the same thing in all similar cases
for many years.-LondOn Globe.

buying Mixed Feeds.

Why any feeder Of farm stock
should buy mixed grains is more than
one can understand unless he is too
lazy to do the mixing himself Time
was when screenings were just what
was claimed for them, the smaller
grains which dropped through the
sleeves when screening was done for
the first grade Of grains. Now screen
ings are quite likely to be the sweep
ings from the mill floors and contain
anything from nails to tobacco guilds.
Any Of the grains used for feeding
stock Of any kind can be bought with
out mixture and one can tell by exam
nation II they be reasonably pure.
They cost some more than the mixed
feeds, to be sure, but they are cheap
est in the end, for less has to be fed
OF all the bad mixed feeds the ground
feeds are the worst, for it Is practical
ly impossible to know what is in the
mixture, that Is, for the ordinary OBJ
server to ascertain. In feeding poul-
try It has been demonstrated time and
again that it pays to pay % per cent
more for the grains by themselves
than TO feed the mixtures bought In
that form

Temperature has great effect on

necessary to increase the quantity Of
food in order to maintain the warmth

and rather than go to the expense of
providing warm stys for the accommo-
