stole into the garden, where George
had taken refuge after dinner. She
was sitting in his favorite place, under
the old apple tree at the back of the
lawn, unconscious of her presence.
Noiselessly she stole up behind him,
and stood Watching him, as he moodily
puffed at his pipe.
a ladybird had dropped from some
~overhanging Dough. and was crawling
SLOWLY up his back, in the direction OF
his collar.
Had she really made George look 2
fool? And did he mind looking Il fool
for her sake? Surely the ideal, the
perfect husband, hould shrink from
nothing. not wen ridicule, incurred in
his wife's service. And yet-and yet
no ma likes to be made to look 4 fool.
1t isn't in human nature.
Thoughtfully she stared at the lady
bird as it made its slow, laborious jour
ney across Georges light coat.
After all, perhaps she had expected
him to do a little too much fetching
and carrying, and all that sort Of thing.
OF course, man should wait on
That was perfectly right and
proper, but-there are limits to every
thing. Was George beginning to rec
ognize this? Was that the reason way
he had not been as ready as usual to
patch up their last little sQuabble?
Now she came to think of it, she re-
membered how the squabble had orig
mated.
She had commissioned him to get a
certain back number OF an illustrated
paper that contained a portrait which
she admired.
The offices of the paDer were in Fleet
street, and George had an office in
Holborn, go that it would have been
the easiest thing in the world for him
to get that paper. But no, he had sim
ply forgotten al! about it. He had had
Il busy, harassinG day, he said. He
was awfully sorry, and he would be
sur to remember tomorrow.
Now, she had particularly wanted
the paper that very day, but what up
set her most was not SO much the want
CT the paper, as the fact that he should
'!ave forgotten to fulfill a wish of hers.
His business worries had, for the
time, cbl:terated the remembrance OF
her, The thought was unendurable
She had told him so. and that is how
the squable had begun.

Running a Railroad by Balloon.

Running up the side Of a mountain,
near Salzberg, Germany, is the most
unique railroad in the world, says
Technical World Magazine for Sep
TENDER. A single steel rail has been
aid from the base to the top of the
mountain, ana over it runs q sliding
steel shoe. Between this shoe and a
big hydrogen gas balloon, which floats
about forty feet above the ground, is
n heavy steel cable. Below the bal
loon is suspended a car fer the on
veyance of passengers to the top of the
peak. The descent is caused by the
pressure of water, which is poured into
Il large tank at the upper end Of the
road and serves as ballast on the re-
turn trip. Ten passengers may be car
ried at a time and the speed OF the
car, in either direction, is regulated by
the conductor.

A Bad Mixup.

Clyde Fitch was reading extracts from
one Of his many volumes OF newspaper
clippings.
Here" HI said, SIS an account from a
Bay City paper Of the presentation of a
~gold-headed cane to the Rev. John Hop
kins, D. D. The story must nave gotten
mixed somehow with another about a pat
ent hog killing machine. AT any rate, this
is how 1t appeared:
.'Several of the Rev. DR.. Hopkins
friends called upon him yesterday, and
after a brief conversation, the unsusp.-
cious hog was seized by the hind legs and
Slid along a beam until he reached the
w~atertank. His friends explained the OBJ
ject of their visit, and presented with a
very handsome gold-headed butcher, who
grabbed him by the tail, swung him round,
silt his throat from ear to ear; and in less
thar a minute the carcass was in the wa
ter. Thereupon he came forward and said
there were times when the feelings over
powered one, and for that reason he would
not attempt to do more than thank those
around him for the manne in which such
a huge animal was cut into fragments was
simply astonishing. The doctor concluded
his remarks, when the machine seized him,
and IN less time than it takes to write 1t,
the hog was cut into fragments and
worked up into delicious sausage. The oc-
.asion will long be remembered by the
doctors friends as one OF the most de-
iightful of their lives. The best pieces can

are sure those who have sat so long under
his ministry will rejoice that he has hcen

WHEAT AFTER POTATOES.

Possibly the best preparatory crop for
wheat is a field where clover sod has been
turned under, although wheat following
potatoes that have been grown in a soil
which was we'll fertiliZed and which is
reasonably rich in humus will bring good
returns. Next in Importance to the proper
seed bed Is the preparation of it, and here
is where many wheat growers, and cspe-
cially those who grow wheat on a small
scale, fail. AS a rule, provided the pota-
toes have been well CultiVat ted, it is I'M
necessary to ploW the field for wheat, har-
rowing -four or five times being sufficient.
What is necessary In the way OF addition
al fertiliZlng must be largely determined
by the richness of the soil, although, as Il
rule, 1t Is generally safe to drill in with
the wheat three or four hundred pounds
of fertilizer, of which 40 per cent. is phos-
phoric acid. 1t Is also a good plan to
cover the wheat field in the spring with
$50 pounds of nitrate of soda per acre,
which will stimulate the growth.

~cAPoNIzlNG FOR PROFIT.

1t is an open question whether it is prof
table to caponiZe. In sections where the
.demand is considerable for capons, and
such sections are only near the large cities,
it undoubtedly pays to learn the art. 1t IL
quite simple and all people VIII not learn
it so extensively as did the writer who
killed fifty-six birds before he operated on
one that survived. However, the lessen
was we'll learned for we rarely lose q bird
now. There are a number of books on the
subject of caponizing, more or less valu-
able, but the best plan is to buy q good
set of caponizing instruments and follow
the directions which come with them. I'M
less there is a good demand for capons it
pays better to give the young ROSTERS the
range as long as possible then fatten them
quickly for the late fall market and sell
them for what they will bring; this is US
more profitable han to feed them
longer for the holiday trade unless one has
a great abundance of home grown grain.
COVERING FOR LIGHT SOILS.
Whether in orchard or not it is rot wise
to allow light soils to lay fallow during
the winter and this month IS the time to
SOW the cover crop. which should be one
of the nitrogen-gathering sort If possible.
If a stand of crimson clover can be OBJ,
tanned this is by far the best crop to SOW,
but ii there is any doubt about it then
SOW the vetch, which makes a large
CROWN ana is more certain than the GRIM
son clover. For the best results the soil
should be well prepared and this prepar-
: alton consists in the thorough loosening
and filming of the soil and the sowing,
with the seed, of a commercial fertilizer,
rich in potash and phosphoric acid. OF
vetch ten pounds OF the first grade seed
to the acre will be sufficient.
CHESTER WHITE SWINE.
Breeders who have grown the Chester
Whites believe them to be more profitable
| than any other breed and largely SO be-
caus they are comparatively small feed
ers, yet fattening readily and quite willing
to thrive on almost anything that they
can eat. Ii is probable that the breed
comes nearer to being the ideal bacon hog
than any other, with the possible excep.
ton of the Tamworths. In certain mar.
kets they are favorites. especially when
marketed at about 1T5 to 200 pounds, al

COMMENT ON ATTRACTIVE PACK
ING

Commenting on our insistent articles
urging that growers of farm produce pack
atractively, a reader says: THE one trou-
bic with your idea is that we lose fruit,
that is. If ! have a bushel Of Strawberries,
for example. by packing them after your
plan, l find a number of quarts which can
not be marketed at any price, and this
does not pay We do not agree with our
friend for If, out of a bushcl or 80 quarts
Of berries we sell 40 per cent. at y cents,
30 per cent. at 8 cents, and have 80 per
cent. left as unstable, which, by the way,
Is a very large per cent, we make more
money than If we sell the entire 80 quarts
for 6 cents or less per quart, and we have
the added satisfaction of knowing that
our selected fruit found a ready sale and
that there will be a demand for more Of
it, while on the other hand we might have
found considerable difficulty in selling the
mixed crop even at 6 cents a quart. Think
1t over before marketing the fall fruits
and vegetables.
CURING COW PEA HAY.
There Is always more or less difficulty
in curing COW pea hay, but the crop is
well worth the trouble of going about cur
Ing it In a careful manner. The general
rule is to cut the COW peas when the
leaves first begin to turn yellow, the cut
ting being done as soon as the dew has
dried In the morning and always on a
sunny day. Rake into small, rather fiat
piles, and by the afternoon of the follow
ing day 1t will be ready to haul into the
barn. If one has a number of sheds which
are open at one or two sides the curing
may be finished under cover, should a
storm threaten. Unless the sur is very
warm and bright during all the period
from cutting to the next afternoon we
always cart the hay under a shed and
le@Ve 1t there two days, turning three or
four times during that period, and find Il
well worth the trouble. The idea in cur
Ing COW pea hay is to retain all of the
leaves possible and thus cured it makes
one of the best possible rough feeds for
cattle

THE sULTAN's SPIES.
YAels NaAbsY = Legion sAd IAsy Ase
Doaad In All Glasses sf
0OoiOty.

In no country ana no time Of the
worlds history has the spy system
been developed to the point it has at
tanned in Turkey to-day. 1t il most
elaborate organization and costs an
immense amount of money. There are
spies and counter spies. and counter
counter spies to the fourth or fifth de-
gree, says the London Chronicle.
Their number is legion, and they are
to be found in all classes of society,
from the highest to the lowest. Be-
sides the minister OF police, almost
every high dignitary has his own serv-
ice Of spies. These are all rival or
ganizations, and spend most Of their
time in spying and dsnouncing each
other. All prominent persons are
closely watched, and followed even
while shopping, and should they meet
another person Of note and exchange
few words the fact is carefully
noted. Turks no longer dare assemble
in parties of Ave or six for the pur-
pose of spending their evenings to-
gether. 1t is impossible for three OF
four of them to sit down at a table in
coffee house without having a spy
at the next. On such occasions they
always speak very loud, so that every
body might hear them. Should Eu-
ropean converse with Turk in the
street, a spy will follow them and try
to find out what they are saying. The
result of all this is that the Turks
avoid one another's company as much
as possible. and whenever they do
come together the conversation is on
the most futile subjects, and quite
childish. The Turkish nation is grow
ing more and more demoralized under
the present spy system.

SNUFF-TAKING DYING OUT.
Story 10 That Eject Revived In Lon
Aoa L. without Much
Foundation

Stories have been in circulation re-
Gently in regard to the new vogue OF
anuff taking in England. The habit is
supposed to be becoming most preva-
lent in aristocratic quarters in the
West end. London, and is even ascribed
TO the most august personages, but
there is little real foundation for these
stories. The London snuff dealers do
not report any noticeable increase or
new sales. The manager of the larg.
est snuff factory in London, according
TO recent report, says;
"The trade has been decreasing one
for many years. There is tendency
recently in an upward direction. but
am afraid that snuff taking is a dying
habit. attribute the decline to the
advent OF the white handkerchief. In
the days of the yellow and red ban
dannas the snuff did not show, but
nowadays il is mostly old gentlemen
who use snuff frequently.
81 hear from dealers who do not
want more supplies, as their old gen.
tleman customers have died. Other
wise, the people who work in places
where they cannot smoke often carry
snun, such az compositors, and also in
many factories,"
Outside of the snuff takers indicated
above snuff is often served in England
in clubs and saloon bars, What slight
increase has been noticed in carrying
Of snuf boxes has been attributed to
the influenza epidemic, snuff being rec
commended to effect the same purpose
for which it retains its place in saloons,
and often on the dining table Of the
old-fashioned public banquets, namely,

Kerby well attended celebrations were
held and an enjoyable time was had
in games and other amusements.
Every naighborhood on Applegate had

in cool shady place, enjoying fine
dinner and games. Wildervile. Muir.

picnics az also did New Hope. The
latter place though had program Of
exercises Of more than uslual merit
and interest. In the forenoon shor
program was rendered that embraced
some well sung scigs by the New
Hope Glee Club, several pleasing
recitations and carefully prepared,
able address by Rev. A. J. Starmer Of
Williams. A dinner, such only as
the skillful housewives that are In
each American neiRhborhood, can
cook was then served. The long
table had everything to tempt mans
appetite even to large dishes of the
most luoious strawberries, for New
Hope is land of plenty, and after
the 30 people present had been fed
there was enough left over for 10
more. In the afternoon another short
and very pleasing program was rem
