He admitted having bad temper and that he was lined some time ago for disturbing the peace of his home, and also for striking lit- tie girl on the head with brick. Mrs Payeur's story was borne out by her daughters. Josephine Payeur and Rose Duffy. A fine of e20 and costs was imposed.

Poultry Department Added to the
Agricultural College.

In response to the urgent demand
for Institutional and investigation
work along poultry lines, the board
Of trustees Of the Iowa agricultural
college, at recent meeting, created
a new position in the animal hus
bandry department-that Of in
structor in animal husbandry in
charge of poultry. Mr.. Howard
Pierce, a graduate of Cornell uni
versity, has been placed in charge of
the work. Mr.. Pierce is one Of the
best trained men in America along
all lines of work pertaining to the
poultry industry, and the college
authorities consider themselves most
fortunate in securing the services of
SO competent a man to build up this
new and most important line of
college work.
Plans are now being prepared for
the erection Of the most modern and
complete POULTRY plant to be found
at any educational institution in
America. Thc plant will be located
on the farm recently purchased for
the dairy herd and poultry work.
Both instructional and Investigation
work will be commenced with the
opening Of the college year. During
the first few years special attention
will be devoted to the most econ
omical methods of feeding for egg
production, and Of offattening chickens
for market.

Millet as a Late Crop.

There is still time to fill up any
vacant places on the farm with a
crop of millet. Such varieties as
German, common and Hungarian
millets are good forage producers
They head out in from As to GO days
after seeding, hence there is plenty
of time to secure a good hay crop
When seeded for. hay, drill in broad,
cast at the rate Of one bushel per
acre. Remember that millet should
be cut in the dough stage. If it is
cut much later than this the stalks
become coarse and rough, the boards
on the heads stiff, and, in fact, the
hay becomes generally unpalatable
If it is to be cut for seed, this should
be done when the seeds are in the
stiff dough stage. If it is allowed
to become fully ripe it shells badly
and much of the grain will be lost.
AS grain crop millet is meeting
with considerable favor both in
South and North Dakota. 1t has
been fed with much success, at the
stations in these two states, to cattle,
sheep and swine. In a recent feed
ing experiment at the South Dakota
station it was found that it required
only 81 of a pound more of ground
millet to produce pound Of gain
in steer than it did of ground corn;
hence where a crop of from 80 to 80
bushels per acre be produced, as it
can in many sections of both the
states mentioned in average years,
millet becomes avery profitable crop.
If millet is fed as hay to cattle it
ought not to be fed as exclusive
roughage. From 10 to l2 pounds
per day is probably the largest
amount that should be fed per head
to mature cattle. Millet is not a
good feed for horses and the less
there is fed of it to the equine race
the better.-Farmer's Tribune.

1t all done he showed it with great en-
thusasm to his father, who at once

hnTe no boy about him who would
spend his time on such foolish things.
The boy was sent to u blacksmith to
learn Il trade, and his master took a
lively interest in him. He made a
loom of what was left of the one his
father had broken up and showed it to
Ills master. The blacksmith saw he
had 10 common boy as an apprentice.
and that the invention was Il valuable
one. He had loom constructed under
the supervision of the boy. 1t worked
to their perfect satisfaction, and the
blacksmith furnished the means to
manufacture the looms, and the boy
received half the profits. In about a
year the blacksmith wrote to the boys
father that he should bring with him
Il wealthy gentleman, who was the in
ventor Of the celebrated power loom
You may be able to judge of the as
tonislment at the old home when his
son was presented to him as the in
vcntor, who told him that the loom
was the same as the model that he
had kicked to pieces the previous year.

A Nattle In the Sen

Did you ever see bluefish charge Il
school Of menhaden at sea? That ia
something worth seeing The blucfish
throw their lines forward until they al
most surround the menhaden, and they
attack them flank and rear. The men
haden fairly make the water boil in
their efforts to escape, while all around
the enemy is at them tearing rclent-
lessly. Into all this commotion comes
great shark. It's picnic for the
shark, a school of menhatlen all herded
up for its benefit. 1t swins leisurely
into the midst of them, opens its mouth
and takes in half dozen menhaden at
gplp. 1t swims around and bites out
half dozen more from the school, 1t
gorges itself without effort. But the
menhaden are not nearly as much dis
turbed by the presence of the monster
swimming about among them as they
are by the charging bluefish. The shark
takes half a dozen fish or more at a
bite, while the bluefish only bites a
piece out of n single fish, but there is
only one shark, while there may be
thousands of bluefsh plunging and
tearing incessantly and killing and
manning at every stroke. The sharks
brute, but under such circumstances
the menhaden have less of fear than
they nave OF contempt for him.

Louis Napoleon Answered.

Lady Blessington did not always
meet with gratitude from some whose
position at last enabled them to serve
her. She sheltered in her London home
Louis Napoleon after he had escaped
from his prison in Ham. After Louis
Napoleon became president Of the
French republic he seems to have
turned the cold shoulder on Lady
Blessington and Count D'Orsay when
they approached him in Paris. There
was n story going at the time, for the
accuracy of which we certainly will
not vouch, but which appeared in sew
eral of the London papers. Shortly be-
fore Lady Blessington's death she met,
SO the story goes, the president driving
in the Champs Eiysees. He stopped
his carriage, she stopped hers, and they
conyersed for few minutes. His
manner seemed to her dcterminedly
chilly. "Do you stay long in PARISH"
he asked as he was about to drive on.

A Photographs Warming

The following story of a young lady
living in the country who came to
London to be photographed is told by
NJ. A. ?. and vouched for by a well
known London photographer. After
some days the lady, Miss b., was
Informed the photograph was not a
success, and another sitting was suc-
gested. This she agreed to, but again
was Informed that the photograph was
failure. There was n third sitting.
In two days time she received an
urgent letter from the photographer
asking her to come up to his studio
and to bring friend with her. Miss
B. went, accompanied by her mother,
and was shown the amazing results of
the three sittings. The pictures of the
girl herself were quite good, but In
each plate there was to be seen stand
Ing behind her the figure of man
holding dagger in his uPlifted hand.
The features, though faint, were clear
ly discernible, and Miss. B. recognized
them as those of her tiancee, an officer
In the Indian army. The effect Of this
experience was so great that after a
few days she wrote out to India, break

Don'toppose your creamery if it

against inferior cream. The butter
market has reccntlybeen flooded with
inferior products that could not be
disposed of at any price. The lead
ing creameries have all decided that
they must no longer pay as much for
poor cream as for good cream. This
is what they have been doing in the
past and to the detriment Of both
themselves and the dairym; n, but
particularly to the detriment of the
dairymen. 1t is to your own interest

A report comes from the New En-
gland states that never in the his
tory of that country has the demand
for well bred cattle, especially for
dairy bulls, been as great as it has
been during the past year. The
New England farmer is known the
world over as thrifty man and he
has evidently become convinced that
if he is to make profits out of his
dairy herd he must have good cows.
