FOUND OPIUM JOINT.
Police. Make Accidental Discovery on
Lower Kansas Avenue.

In arresting four negroes last night
for disorderly conduct, the police dis
covered an opium joint, and arrested
two more for being inmates.
John Evans, Clarence Reed, Lulu

land depot and arrested by the police.
Evans was using a knife and had
carved Jessie Branch on the chin The
four were thrown into jail and the Off

sisting Of pipe. lamp, dope" and
number OF small tin boxes which show
ed plainly that Evans or someone con-
neeted with the place was retailing
opium to local smokers.
The same place was raided several
months ago, and the same inmates cap

at that time.
This morning two of the women, Lulu
Brown and Jessie Branch, were released
on a bond signed by Col. H. c. Lindsey,
ana presented by Thomas, q. negro law
yer. In q few minutes Col. Lindsey
telephoned the police that he wanted the
women rearrested and the bonds re-
turned to him, as he said Thomas had
induced him to sign them by means Of
a falsehood. Thomas represented to
Lindsey that he had been sent to get
the bonds by Judge Joseph Reed, and
nothing to do with the case. The police
were rather angry at the deception, and

POOR COWS.

When a man increases the number
Of his cows at the expense of quality
he does very unbusinesslike thing.
Better not keep cows unless they are
good ones. Take better care of what
you have and be content rather than
buy poor cows. When one raises his
own cows he should test out the heif-
ers that do not promise well as posi-.
BILE, no matter If they are registered,
and have good pedigree. We must
have something in the dairy barn be.
sides breeding to make success. We
want individuality. When this is well
backed up by breeding all the better,
but the profitable cow we must have.
1t is not always judicious to sell a
heifer II she does not come up to the
standard the first season. provided she
gives promise of better work later on
One must use judgment, as well as the
scales and Babcock test with heifer.
1t is good plan to have an animal
clearance sale and dispose of the un.
desirable cows to the butcher.

ARRANGING CUT FLOWERS.
Cut Stems a Little Every Day, Put in
Fresh Water-Should Look as
IT Growing.

First of all, little salt put in the
water In which cut flowers are kept
will lengthen the lives of the flowers.
The water should be changed each
day, and the stems cut trifie, and
washed by being held under the faucet.
Remember, whom arranging punches
of flowers that the most effective bou7
quets are those made to look as nearly
as possible like the growing plant. Use
plenty of green foliage and put the
flowers In loosely. never In tight, set
bunch. The best way to arrange them
is to put the green In first and then
fill In the blossoms. Sometimes two
or three long stemmed flowers, or even
n single flower, in long, slender vase
is more effective than a large bunch
of the same flowers.
Little wire screens for holding the
flowers are fitted over the top Of bowls
and baskets, and make the arranging
of the flowers very easy matter. This
is specially necessary II the bowl Is
a shallow one. An ingenious woman,
who did not wish to go to the expense
Of having silver wire screen made
for this purpose, bought wire screen.
such as Is commonly used for the sink,
and fitted It over a bowl herself. This
made an excellent holder and was, Of
course, much cheaper than the silver
one.-Brooklyn Eagle.

NEATNEss IN BUTTER PACKAGES

The careful packing Of butter has
good deal to do with the fostering Of
the butter trade whether that trade
be with few private families or with
large commission houses. This matter
has been frequently referred to in these
columns, and without doubt some i'm
provement Is being made. The COM
mission men report that the manner In
which butter is put up helps or hinders
them In making sales. A creamery
that has the reputation Of neatness
in packing finds itself sought not only
by the commission men, but by large
grocers that want an article that looks
well. This matter of looks Is especial
ly important In butter that goes to the
homes of the wealthy. They will form
opinions on the looks Of things. Two
packages of butter may be similar In
quality. but II one Is put up In better
style than the other the buyers are
prejudiced In favor Of that package,
and the eaters, II they have seen the
package will actually imagine that
the butter is of better flavor.

A FEED YARD.

The most useful and economical de-
vice about our farm yard Is our feed
yard. 1t is a small space about so by
100 feet, inclosed on the north and
west by tight. high board fence; on
the south and east, the fence is lower
but some buildings serve as wind
breaks. When we commence hauling
up our hay in the fall we stack all
along the north and west sides. This
gives us a well sheltered yard where
cattle can be fed when II is too cold
for them to go out in the pasture and
where the young stock can be kept
at night until late In the season. as
they are protected from the wind.
We can feed from stacks around the
yard, and though the yard will need
cleaning occasionally. We find 1t q
great saving of feed, time and labor.

MAKE A NOTE OF THIS.

Commission merchants say that on
an average there is difference Of
four cents dozen between soiled eggs
and those that are sent to market
bright and clean, and 1t Is not neces-
sary that all the eggs Of shipment
shall be soiled in order to make a
consignment rank as such. Even
very small proportion Of soiled eggs
in package will cause the whole TO
be rated several cents below the mar
ket price. The trampling on the eggs
by the dirty feet Of the hens. fresh
from the moist earth Of the yard, and
the discoloration produced, does not
affect the contents, but 1t gives the
eggs an uninviting appearance. and It
is not expected that people will be
Indifferent to the looks of things which
they buy for their table. Poultry
keepers can afford to take time to
clean the shells Of the eggs which they
send to market when the failure to do
so means the loss of four cents
dozen.
