Il cannot SPEAK Of naniel O'Day
without ens91ion.' said one of his as
seciates hssl9 It'll tlse Standard Oil com
pany. 'qhae nevsr was a prayen
trller man to work with. He was a
MASTER of Ills business, master of re
sources. and one always felt that at
the call Of duty or the behest OF friend
ship lie would cross the continent at
an hours notice. This quality always
made him a picturesque figure. He was
a cavalier Of the Oil fields
Of his many beneyolences, tales
without number are told, evidencing
his mother wit as we'll as the uni
versatility Of his giving. One recalled
by friend seems worth telling:
Mr. O'nay was a Catholic and the
friend was Protestant. The latter,
finding Daniel O'Day's name down for
a humping subscription to a Baptist
charity, asked him how he could
square himself with the pope. O'Day,
assuming his quizzical expression,
said:
Well, the next world, maybe, is not
accurately charted, but between you
and me, that Baptist subscription was
a little anchor thrown to windward in
the waters Of heaven. New York

Jones' Hat or Jones,s Hat.

1t is not strange that boys and girls
are sometimes bothered over the right
way to use the sign Of the possessive
after a noun ending in S. Good usage
is about equally divided in the matter,
SO that either Jones hat or Jones's hat
may be considered correct Literally
speaking, however, Jones's hat is to be
preferred, for the possessive form is
nothing but . contraction Of his" the
original form having been Zones his
hat, ! and most grammarians say that
we should give recognition in the sound
to the contracted pronoun. GooId
Browns grammar says, "To avoid a
concurrence Of kissing sounds the S is
sometimes omitted, and the apostrophe
alone retained to mark the possessive
singular, as Moses minister but the
elisiOn should be sparingly INDUCED. 1t
is in general less agreeable than the
regular FORM" and it illustrates the
point by quoting "Hicks's" as prefera-
bic to Hicks - Exchange

Much of the boom literature Of the
day is too fowery for its own good. It
prejudices the popular mind quite as
much against new locality as it does
in it's favor Facts are what the people
want-plain, unvarnished facts. Don't
pull up until you know what is ahead
of you just because you happen to re-
ceive one Of these attractive little pam
phlets. It may be simply bait to lure
you and your money into some mining
speculation or land deal.

DRAWN AND UNDRAwN POULTRY.

DRAWN AND UNDRAWN POULTRY.
Notwithstanding that considerable
prejudice has developed against the
sale Of undraWn poultry during the
past twenty months, largely due to
several instances of poisoning result
ing from poultry that was kept for
too long a time in cold storage in this
condition, a recent bulletin issued by
the chemist in chief Of the agricul-
tural department at Washington gives
a very emphatic verdict in favor Of
marketing poultry in the undrawn
rather than the drawn condition, this
judgment being the result of a care
fully conducted experiment. Two tur-
keys, one drawn and the other not,
were hung up on the 9Th of February.
At the end Of a week it was found
that the drawn bird was tainted, while
the other was in perfect condition
Four days later both birds Were cut
open, it being found that the drawn
bird was in a bad state Of decomposi-
ton. while the enc undraWn was still
ID an excellent state of preservation A
practical recommendation contained in
the bulletin was to the effect that poul-
try should under no circumstances be
killed for market unless it had been
kept from food for the preceding TWEEN
ty-four hours. as the presence of part
" digested food in the body tended to
increase decomposition very greatly.
So strongly was this point emphasized
that it was suggested that a law be
passed imposing d heavy fine for put
ting poultry on the market in this CON
dition. The points touched upon should
be noted by every shipper Of poultry.

PAPER FRoM COTTON FIBER.

After long series of experiments
the president Of the Southern Cotton
association comes forward with 8
statement to the effect that all qualities
of paper from the finest linen grade
down can be proftably manufactured
from the fiber of the cotton stalk,
which has hitherto been waste mate
rial. 1t has also been found that in the
process Of manufacture several valua-
bic byproducts are secured, including
alcohol, nitrogen and material for
smOkeless powder. 1t is expected by
those directly interested that several Of
these new paper plants will be in full
operation by the first of the new year
Since the stalks average a ton for ev-
cry bale of cotton grown, this would
make available 100000 tons of raw
material annually, which is twice as
much as would be needed by all the
mills Of the country at the present
rate of consumption 1t is to be hoped
that when the industry develops on a
large scale it may prove all that it's
promoters now anticipate, for 1T would
rot only render valuable d hitherto
waste product, but would greatly
lessen the enormous drain upon the
spruce forests OF the country, which at
present furnish the bulk Of the mate
rial for the manufacture Of the cheaper
grades Of paper.

Too many times our interest In the
raspberry, blackberry and currant
bushes wane with the passing of the
fruit, and the rest Of the season they
are left to grow at will and choose
their own companions or have them
thrust upon them. Many patches seen
lately are SO entangled with vines and
weeds as to be hardly recognizable.
The weeds are in fine condition to
grow next season.

A BIG LEAK.

The quality Of butter which is made
in the creameries Of the dairy sections
Of the country whether gathered cream
or separator concerns, could be greatly
improved il all the patrons would take
the precaution of giving all utensils
used in the handling of the milk a
thorough scalding and summing wher-
ever the latter is possible. The col.
lective Indifference and carelessness
Of a body Of creamery patrons are be-
You'd question responsible for the loss
Of hundreds of dollars through the re-
sulting inferior quality of the butter
product Multiply the annual butter
output of any creamery by from to
5 cents and one has in cold figures
the loss that is sustained as a result
of the sloVenly handling of milk and
cream. Suppose the loss is 2 cents per
Yound. With the average rural cream
cry whose summer output is 10000
pounds week the loss resulting from
this one cause would be $780, or
enough to pay the wages of a first
class buttermaker for two months
One cannot make a whistle out of a
pigs tail; neither can the best butter
maker on earth remove from cream
the faint that is impaired through care
less handling and produce a butter
product that will fetch top notch
prices. In nine cases out of ten where
returns for butter sold are not up to
what they might be the trouble may
be remedied by scalding the milk cans
rather than scolding the buttermaker.

There is not sufficient validity in the
goose bone and muskrat house prog
nostications Of the old fashioned
weather prophet SO that one would be
justified in making provisions for any
less than the usual amount of food and

lays in fuel supplies adequate for the
coolest winter and has some left in his
bin when spring comes it is certainly
a good omen and he has that much at
least to be thankful for.

a wind break is one Of the first
things to consider when one is thinking
Of engaging in fruit raising. This is as
necessary for the smaller varieties OF
fruit as well as the orchard. The char
acter of the wind break should depend
somewhat upon how extensive ones
operations are to be. A thick hedgerow
Of eyergreens or stretch Of woodland
is best and will serve to keep out the
seVerer currents of air as we'll as keep
in the necessary moisture.

every point of view to a wilderness of

In many places brown eggs are con-
sidered more choice than white ones,
but it depends good deal upon the

Of the fancy Of the buyer it pays to
sell only fresh eggs, be the size large

best eggs for the regular customers,

along with good many other foolish
