Long Service Of Farm Laborers.
rr,p, tho London STANDARD

There are some remarkable records Of
long service in the annual prize list just
issued by the Huntingdonshire Agricultural
Society. which makes monetary awards to
the laborers who have been longest in the
employ of their members on the same farm.
The list shows that there Is one man still
so employed In the county who has reached
the age of seventy-eight years. His name
Is Peter Sheridan. and he has been en-
gagged on the estate of the Dukes Of Man
chester at Kimbolton for forty-five years.
But he does not take prize as his length
of service is exceeded In another case by
ten years.
Another old servant still at work is sew
enty-six; there are two seventy-four years
old one sixty. one sixty-eight and several
ever sixty among the competitors. The first
prize goes to Thomas Allsop. who, now
sixty-five years Of age. has been on the
farm of Mr.. Harry Cranfleld of Buckden
for fifty-five years. The second prize taker
Is George Allen. seventy-six years OF age
who has been fffty-one years with the
Heathcotes Of Connington.
The third In honor Is Philip Winterton,
sixty-eight years old, who has been with
Messrs Coleman and sons of Woodwalton
lust half a century. His son Edward
thirty-pine takes prize In the junior

years on the same farm as his father. There
are other cases Of laborers having COM
menced work at eight years of age.

MULES ARE PROFITABLE.
Farmers Find They Pay Better Than
Horses

From the Sarcoxie (Mo:) Leader.
The average farmer Is probably not
aware of the fact that an average mule
sells for $40 a head more than horses
Such Is the case, and the price has been
gradually rising for a number of years.
There has never been what would be
called an overproduction of mules, while
the market has often been unable to
fully supply the trade.
The ability of the mule to endure great
heat has brought it into most general use
in the southern states. where large farms
are devoted entirely to raising Gotten;
also the farmers of this country find the
mule stands the work in the hot season
In wheat fields much better than the horse
All men that have used mules know this
to be fact.
The mule natures more quickly than
the horse. and can he placed on the
market from one to two years sooner
than the average horse. This means a
larger profit to the producers and quicker
returns for the investment. A wcll-fed
mule can be worked at two years of age
with safety. If proper Judgment is exer-
nervous than a horse. thus not SO liable
to accident or blemish. A blemish that
would make fine horse unstable would
take but trife from mule. The mule
for the reason that he Is more care
full about running into anything than a
horse. You will see six or eight horses
biemished and SCARED from wire where
you will see one mule SCARED from 1t.
The mule Is taxpayer and mortgage
litter for the farmer: he is ready sale at
weaving time. at one year. two years. or
when he Is broke to work The mule Is
ready money at any age. The horse colt
does not sell well until 1t is three or four
years old and broke to work and drive.

Indiana's Anti-Cigarette Law.

From the Terre Hauie Tribune Gazette.
So far as the facts already gathered in
dictate. the anti-cigarette law of the last
legislature Is not bowling success. lie
law Is being circumvented by what APP
pears to be undetectabie schemes. The
express companies and the mails are
carrying tens of thousands of the little
coffin tacks' into the homes and offices
of boosters. In packages marked Perish

or DISQUALIFICATION" any one can get

ages" The things cannot be detected IL
the smell Of the tobacco is covered. AS
means of avoiding this cigarettes are
shipped in glass tubes. k.ass bottles. coffee
cans and anything that will keep In the
smell. Shipments are made even in fruit
crates along with the fruit itself The
risk has put up the price OF cigarettes.
but as the smokers will have them. cost
or cost, the trade goes on, and dealers
outside of Indiana who are shipping into
this state are making big pronts. Another
thing the law has done: 1t has driven
boys from cigarettes to cigarros. cigars
and pipes. and even tar rope ,stogies. 1t is
very questionable what good the anti
cigarette law has done. or will do, much

FOREST P1GM1Es
Found in the Congo, the Most Curious
Tribe Ever Discovered.

rom Airicn
Colonel ]. J. Harrison who has just re-
turned to London after a four months ex-
petition to the Congo forest. has received
permission from the British foreign Office
to ship for England six of the pigmy deni-
zens of the forest who have accompanied
him of their own free will. and with the
permission of the Congo government. as far
as Cairo.
Naturally the adventurous explorer did
not get into touch with this curious tribe
without some interesting experiences. which
he has related as follows:
When once had gained their confidence
they were quite friendly. and eventually six
of them-four men and two women-volun-
teered to come with me to England. They
freely conducted me to their little villages
and at night time erected leafy structures.
tremeiy low order OF intelligence. and know
absolutely nothing of what goes on around
them. They seem to have no religious In
stincts and possess no idea of Supreme
Being. Their average height Is from four
feet to four feet three and half. and.
curiously enough. as a rule. the women are
taller than the men. The women have also
better physical development. The men
seemed to me to be starved to death. A
noteworthy fact was the prevalence of a
terrible cough. due, perhaps. to the damp
ness of the atmosphere. All the pigmies
alike suffered from this to such degree
that 1t was difficult to sleep at night l had
quite expected to find that serious lung
trouble prevalent but surprised
to discover, as a result of medical exami-
nation of the pigmies who accompanied me
back to Egypt. that the lungs were quite
healthy.
"A striking characteristic of the people Is
their extraordinary silence: they Will sit
for hours without uttering word. They
are nomadic, and their only wealth Is in
spears. The number of spears determines
the number of wives these people can af-
ford They are practically nude. The
womens only clothing is a few leaves,
while the mems attire consists of scrap
of skin round the waist. Their whole per-
sonai belongings consist of a poisoned
spear or two and old clay cooking pot.
The women carry their infants slung across
their sides.
They are fearless hunters. and Will bold
ly attack an elephant by rushing up to 1t
and planting a poisoned spear in the brute.
They are also very warlike little people.
and only short while before my arrival
in the forest they had sailed out. attacked
and looted a Belgian caravan and killed
seventeen porters. There were no white
men with the caravan. and the native SOL
diers bolted. They eat like animals, even
gna wing the bones Of their prey. When an
animal is caught they cut 1t up. skin and

CACTUS FOR CATTLE.
A Kind Found in Hawaii Which is
Spineless.

Honolulu Cor New York Tribune.
The announcement that Luther Burbank
of Santa Rosa had developed or was devel-
oping a spfneless cactus which, IL spread
throughout the arid regions of the southern
United States. would add greatly TO the
value of stock food and render the fear and
damage of drouth in those southern cattle
regions needless has led to some remarkable
results in Hawaii.
The announcement recalled to some of the
older inhabitants the fact that in their boy
hood spineless cactus was found in these
islands. Strangely enough however and
curiously confirming Luther Burbanks
opinion of its value as a cattle food. the
specimens discovered always grew where
they were protected from cattle. Not a
single cactus was found where the wander
Ing herds had access to It, When one Of
these plants was brought to the cattle. how
ever. they ate it, even to the roots.
The spineless cactus was thus shown to be
a cattle food. and further experiments have
proved still more fully the same fact. The
result has been that several cattlemen es-
pecialiy those owning grazing lands subject
to drouths have planted thousands of cut
tings from these spineless cactus for the
purpose of providing forage and drink for
their cattle in time of extreme drouth, for
1t must be remembered that the cactus
stores moisture and Is source of water
for cattle, well as food In all cases
however these paintings have been pro-
tected from the depredations of cattle by
fences, and are expected to be used only in
times of extreme drouth.
Cattlemen in these islands are familiar
with the fact that when driven to it by
hunger and thirst cattle will browse on even
the prickly cactus. the gigantic prickly pear
which grows in these islands. The younger
growth of the cactus, though just as prickly
as the Older. is not so harsh. and the cattle
are able to eat 1t. though their tongues
throats and the walls of their stoma chs
soon become filled with the prickles These
seem to do them no particular damage, ex-
cept In occasional instances though they
must be source of more or less Irritation
Samples of the spineless cactus found
here have been sent to. Mr. Burbank. with
all the information about 1t obtainable. He
mas replied that this is probably a species
which Is found in Africa and has been
brought there at some time. 1t has a longer
ana thinner leaf. so called. than the prickly
cactus and is less juicy and nourishing. Mr.
burbank says that the spineless cactus he
is developing will be the more succulent
variety. anording much more valuable cat
tie food than any of the spineless varieties
winch have been found in various parts of
the world N "
Inc demand for cuttings Of the spineless
variety found here has become extremely
great. as the grazers more and more recog-
nize the value Of plant that affords both
1000 and drink during periods of drouth.
