Preferred "Coney" to "Lona."

Capt. Prayer of the North German
Lloyd steamer Bres1au was constantly
annoyed on the last voyage over by a
mischieyous youngster, who shook the
foundations of the captains peace Of
mind till at last his patience gave
out.
The boy had been hanging around
the captain all day, worrying him with
his naughtiness, till finally the skip
per let loose the walls of his wrath.
'1f you don't behave yourself, YOU"
he roared with the voice accustomed
to obedience, I'll put you ashore on
Long Island and let you stay there"
But he had not counted on the ma
tive American wit. AS quick as flash
the yOungster replied;
"Oh, captain, please, Id much rather
be put ashore on Coney island"
And when they reached port the cap
tain wanted to know why one should
be preferred to the other for maroon
ing purposes.-Baltimore Sun.

VIII Wifiind, Wind Weak.

Mayor Story. of Atlantic City, was
condemning those Menhaden fisher
men who dredge the Atlantic at points
Illegally near the shore for fish that
is only used for fertilizer. At the
same time the Mayor pointed out the
difficulty Of catching and furnishing
these fishermen. He said:
"On account of the sinful waste of
good fish that they cause, we would be
only too glad to prosecute these men,
but the means to detect and identify
them are not often at hand. We have
the will but not the power to punish.
We are like the trumpeter in an At
lantic City band.
This man, a native Of Germany,
was practicing one night a trumpet
obligato, but he did not play anything
like loud enough.
Louder, louder said the leader.
"And the trumpeter redoubled his
efforts.
" Louder, louder
"And he put on still more steam.
Louder, louder, louder!'
"The trumpeter banged down his
trumpet and glared at the leader with
eyes that started from their sockets.

to say louder, louder" but ware ISIS

Coachman as Collector.

It is related of Dean Gilbert Stokes
that once, when influenza had inca,
pacitated his verger as well as the
two churchwardens, he consigned the
duty of collecting the aims to neigh
boris coachman.
''Take the what, sir?" queried that
worthy.
Take the offertory," explained the
Dean. ''The collection-the money
from the people in the pews."
The coachman seemed satisfied and
even pleased with his new dignity.
But when the offertory hymn was half
through noisy alteration was heard
in one of the transepts, and the Dean
at once called the collector to the
rails.
whatever is the matter?' he in.
CURED.
The coachman, red Of face and
wrathful of eye, then explained. He
was no half-and-half individual, and
when thing was given him to do he
did it, and did it thoroughly. He said:
"Why, sir, there's two men in the
best seats as won't pay."-London An.

SHOCK TOO MUCH FOR BRUiN.
Huaeing Bear Evidently Did Not
Know the Summer Girl.

The great performing Russian bear
had escaped from the captivity under
which he had Chafed for SO many
months; but he was finding that liber-
ty had its drawbacks. For many
weary hours he had prowled, but moth
ing in the shape of food had he seen.
Suddenly he gave growl of delight,
for, sitting on stilehe espied a tooth
some little lady. who was evidently
awaiting the coming of young man.
Bruin did not stop to ponder upon
his g0odf0rtune; he seized her in a
mighty hug. For a while she said
nothing; but as he eXerted more of his
tremendous strength she murmured:
81 don't think you are quite so
strong as you were, Gerald"
Then once more melancholy settled
upon Bruin. He had done his best;
but the young ladies of this country
were beyond him.
With a roar of despair he retraced
his steps to the menagerie, and gave
himself up without a struggle.-Lon.

FARMERS AT THE SHOWS.

Every farmer should attend the
fairs and poultry shows, and should
also exhibit, as any interest taken in
fairs leads to improvement of the
fiocks. Many farmers are afraid to
exhibit, not knowing how to prepare
the fowls. 1t may require work for
while to get the fowls in proper con-
dition, but the pleasure of winning will
be ample compensation, although the
prize money is also an inducement. To
get ready for an exhibition begin
about six weeks ahead with selected
members of the flock, and twice a
week oil the legs, combs, wattles and
beaks, using mixture of a gill of
lard oil and teaspOonful Of crude
petroleum. This will clean the legs.
Two weeks before the time for ex-
hibiting feed sunt1Ower seed three
times week. Wash the combs, wat
ties, legs and beaks once week and
sponge the combs and wattles with

fore shipping the birds make a soap,
suds from CASTLE soap. and have the
suds strong and lathery. Take the
tub and birds into room heated to
one hundred and five degrees, wash
the birds thoroughly (do not be afraid
to rub and rinse them in another tub
full of clean, warm water Put the birds
in very warm room, and as they
will puff up their feathers, on account
of the heat. each feather will dry
and fall into its place. If
this is not done the feathers will |
stick together. Now turn them into
a cooler room so as to avoid sudden |
changes. Before they start, rub comb,
wattles and legs with glycerlne, which |
will protect against frost. At the |
show wipe off the glycerine, and |
sponge the comb and wattles with
alcohol.

FALL PLANTING.

AT convention Of nurSerymen held
not long ago the question as to
whether trees and plants were dug
too early in the fall While il is d
question that more nearly concerns
the grower OF trees and plants than
the planter it is worthy OF close con-
siderati0n on the part Of the latter.
That fall planting of nearly ali trees
and shrubs is preferable 70 spring
planting has long been the feeling
among growers WHO have studied the
varied phases Of nature. Unfortunate
ly, planters who set cut trees, either
fruit or ornamental, shrubs or roses.
In the fall, are apt to Want them 50
early that the grower. satisfy the
demand, is obliged to dig and ship
them before they have troperly ma
tured. The result is a rge percent
age Of loss, which, Of a e years, has
hadt the effect of practically doing
away with fall planting, a serious
miShap.
Trees and shrubs which have reach
ed proper stage of maturity are best
planted in the fall from the fact that
they are dormant or nearly so, SO far
as the trunk ard tops are concerned.
The sap is stored in the roots and
hence the tree or shrub planted in
the fall will take hold of the soil and
make strong root growth before the
severe winter weather sets in,
When, however, these trees and
shrubs are taken up in the fall before
they have reached the proper stage of
maturity, that is, the maturity Of the
past seasons growth. they are weak
ened and unable to stand the winter
While the grower and dealer are
largely to blame for this state of
affairs, by reason of taking up these
trees and plants contrary to the laws
of nature, which, in this connection,
they thoroughly understand, the
planter should bear the most blame
for demanding an early delivery of
the trees and plants.

HARVESTING ONIONS.

The onion crop must have intelii-
gent care at harvest time if they are
Intended for winter storage They
cannot be handled like potatoes and
still remain in condition for winter
use. Onions must be allowed to ripen
naturally in which event the bulbs
will remain dormant until spring and
retain their moisture inside the peel
or skim They must also be perfectly
cured in the sun before they go into
storage. which is best secured by
allowing the crop to remain few
days in thin windows after they are
dug. Do not remove the tops until
the crop goes to market. If they are
thoroughly dry and cured the tops
will SO protect the onions that the dan
ger Of bruiSing will be largely over
come; also that Of heating, either of
which will greatly decrease their
value as market product. Sheep
shears are a most valuable implement
10 use when topping onions. Don
cut TOO close to the bulb or it will be
injured and will leak while in stor-
age and thus cause others to become
wet and spoil.
Onions for winter use should be
handled and stored in bushel crates
made Of lath which can be piled in
such a manner as TO secure perfect
ventilation; however, they will keep
in fair condition in dry quarters. when
sacked in coarse coffee sacks. such as
potato shippers use. that hold two

onions deeply because the mass will
be quite sure to heat and decay in a
short time. Spread thinly on a dry
floor where the damp night ali. can be
excluded.

TEACHING CALVES.

A subscriber has trouble in teaching
his young calves to drink. We con.
TESS that this is not one of the easy
things to do. especially if we are in a
hurry and want to accomplish the feat
quickly. A little patience is neces-
sary. Bear in mind all the time that
the young calf is not very different
from what we We're at an early period
in cur history, and we do not know
but what it may be truthfully said of
some of use that this continues to be
our normal condition. Gently place
the calfs nose into the milk, which
must always be blood heat. Put
very small amount of milk in the pail
or receptacle in which your calf is
fed, one half inch is sufficient. and
push the little bovine's nose down onto
the bottom OF the pail. 1t will soon
learn that you are performing
friendly act, and will get taste of
the milk and begin to suck, sip and
bunt the bottom of the pail. Add to
the milk and continue the good work
until the calf gets enough. Do not
put in enough to cover the nostriIs.
One or two such lessons and the calf
will rapidly take care Of all the milk
it should have.

Capt. Burns Cured Of Pea Scum.

The following was frequently told

The captain was very fond of spIit
pea soup, and before leaving port he
always put in good-sized stock of
split peas, On this occasion, however,
his negro steward got whole peas, and
so the soup that the captain called for
on the first day out was thrown away.
The next day pea soup was again
served, and this time the captain, after
having eaten hearty meal, said to his
steward: Steward, that's the kind of
soup like; Wen have some more Just
