prices he pays for the things he
needs.
For example, clothing for men is
shipped to these counties largely
from Buffalo and Rochester, the rate
of freight per suit not averaging over
two cents. Hats and caps may come
from New York, Philadelphia or Bal
timore, the freight rate not averag-
ing over one-half cent per hat. Like
wise the rate on boots and shoes,
which largely come from Massachu-
sets, does not average over one cent
per pair. Dry goods of various kinds
this designation including the ma
iority of articles of ladies' apparel
come principally from New York,
Philadelphia and Baltimore. II 1t be
assumed that the weight of lady's
clothing be not more than 10 pounds,
she has paid the railroad company
four cents for bringing It to her,
whether 1t be silk or wool. II it be
largely of muslin, the railroad will
not have obtained more than two
cents and a half, Out OF a lady's
hat, which is usually the greatest
burden to her purse, the railroad OBJ
tains only about one-sixteenth of a
cent. In deed, It is a very fair cal
culation that completely attired
man or woman has not paid TO the
railroad company for bringing that
complete attire so much as FIVE
cents.
The proportion of the transportation
charged throughout the commodi-
ties of ordinary use is likewise in
significant. Furniture may come,
perhaps, from Philadelphia. A din
ing room suit of dining table, side
board. six chairs and a china closet.
will yield to the railroad one dollar
and twenty-five cents, and a parlor
suit OF sofa and four chairs about
eighty-flve cents. A bedstead will
likely come from Williamsport or
Philadelphia or Harrisburg, the en-
tire equipment for the nocturnal
sojourn paying the railroad company
something like eighty-three and a
half cents. The house In which this
furniture is used, If II be of eight
room. brick variety will have brought
to the railroad company about eighty
dollars for the lumber, thlrty-seven
dollars and half for the brick, and
not more than one hundred and fifty
dollars all told. although the house
will likely have cost about three
thousand Ave hundred.

hauled over an average of 80 miles
on the railroad, paying a rate of not
more than 10 cents per hundred

tion charge on an ordinary sack of
so pounds not to exceed five cents.
OF the fresh meat other than beef
about 60 per cent comes from local
butchers, paying no transportation
charge except TO the teamster.

The following little gem was one of the experiences of Mir Benson. the Shakespearean actor:
 MT. Benson made professional visit to Dublin. and the rehearsals included the due training of body of stage assistants to represent the hurried ly retracting supporters of Richard "Crookback," when that monarch suc- cumbed to the onslaught of Richmond on the field of Bosworth. On the night of the first performance of the tragedy the army that was to fly stubbornly refused to leave the field or to &C., knowledge being vanquished, but turn ing upon the forces of Richmond gave them q severe drubbing. Nothing could be found to tame them to proper submission till one of the frank and file" said:

Silenea and Science.

Before it was determined scientific. ally that smoke Is waste, smoke was fixed as the final indication and proof of prosperity. Today smokeless chimney means nothing less than thrift and good management. Similar. ly we now hear that noise is proof of urban life, progress and activity. We may answer that noise is loss as surely as smoke is waste. Decreased comfort is loss and noise decreases comfort Disturbed minds are loss through re- duction of mental force. But these and similar consequences are indirect loss. There is direct loss also. A rat tling car means worn bearings and a short lived vehicle. Otherwise rail roads would not spend so much OF their roadbeds, and they would run trains at higher speed.-Detroit Free Pross

Never Loses His Head.

Many years ago, when William J Stillman of New York city was re. porting a disturbance in Greece for the London Times, report was sent out that he had been beheaded. One of his friends, hearing the report. tele graphed to the correspondent this mes- sage: "Rumor here that your head has been taken off. Is it true?" It was not until the message had been sent that it occurred to the sender that if the rumor were true Stillman would be the last man in the world to speak about it. But the message reached Stillman, and this was his reply: My dear boy, newspaper man never loses his head"

A Story of WheweII.

Sydney Smith said of the great Dr. Whewell, master of Trinity college. that "sclence was his forte and om- niscience his folble." On one occa. sion two fellows of the college, think. ing to get beyond his range, read up the subject of Chinese metaphysics and then disputed about 1t in the doctors presence. He listened in silence for a time and then observed, "Ah, see you have been reading paper which wrote for an encyclopedia of sci ence"

Hen Manure for the Garden.

When you are working in the gar
den remember that hen manure fur
nishes fertilizing elements in more
concentrated form than any other ma
nure. Owing to it's concentration it
should be mixed with some less act
i've material to increase it's bulk. The
character OF material to add depends
to a great extent on whether the gar
den soil is light and sandy or a heavy
clay soil. For either light or heavy
soils it may be mixed with wood ashes,
using from one to three parts of hen
manure to one of ashes. For light
sandy soils with little humus, mix
with three or four times as much rich
loan or leaf mold For heavy clay
soils use sandy loan in place of the
leaf mold. or road dust, or even coal
ashes. Either of these composts may
be applied as top dressing or directly
to the plants. On a heavy clay loan
we have used the refuse from the hen
merry composted with wood and coal
ashes in the proportions mentioned
and one part of this mixture was In
corporated with ten parts of stable
manure.

Retail Poultry Dealers Trick.

Butchers in most large cities draw
the poultry after selling it to the con-
sumner, and deliver it either to the
waiting customer or to the residence
drawn and head and feet removed
Some INSCRIPTIONS butchers find 1t
profitable to insert "sinkers" into the
poultry, which increases the weight
half to one pound, and while the
poultry is being drawn the sinker is
removed. A city salesman for
butchers supply house tells in the Ma
tiona1 Provisioner of butcher who
worked the scheme little different.
While in a butcher shop a customer
came in and asked the price of poultry.
The butcher replied 16c and 1Sc., and
when the buyer asked to see the poul-
try he first showed the 1Sc fowl, and
then went into his ice box and brought
out a fowl almost the twin of the one
he had first shown. The second bird
he said was the 16c grade. The GUS
toner could see no difference, and
bought the cheaper bird. The butcher
weighed it, took the customers name
and address for delivery, and gave her
check which she paid at the cashiers
desk, and departed satisfied. After she
had gone the fixture salesman asked
what was the difference between the
two birds. In reply the butcher wink
ed, and Sitting open the bought bird,
he fished out large lead sinker weigh
ing at least three-quarters of pound.
And" continued the salesman, "the
fool seemed proud of his trick, and
hadn't the faintest idea that once his
scheme was found out his business in
that neighborhood, at least, would be
DESTROYED"

oats. hull and all. are ground to the
fineness of flour. In Belgium, the feed
consists of ground buckwheat, and in
France it is ground barley. OF the
ground oats a great deal can be said
in it's favor. 1t contains per cent of
fat and plenty of phosphates or limey
matter, which go far towards whiten-
ing the flesh. Buckwheat ground is
not considered quite so good. 1t Is
rich enough in carbohydrates, but it
lacks in albuminoids, or f1esh-forming
elements.
In the countries named where fowls
are being prepared for market the
fiours named are always mixed with
milk, but not made sloppy. In England
skim milk is used, and also in some
parts of France, but in other localities
the whey is used for the purpose of
mixing the feeds The butter fat of
whole milk is not required. In all the
feeding processes, fat is added to the
milk during the last ten days, the OBJ
ject being to soften the flesh and by
causing a distribution of the globules
of fat throughout the tissues, making
it much more palatable and likewise
increasing the weight.

RAISING Young Turkeys.

Many lose poults when few weeks
old, writes Mrs. VanOgle, of Douglas
county. After three years test of my
own feeding in which | have raised
for market an average of twenty to
each hen-two settings-I find no bet
ter treatment than the following: The
first two weeks, give one hard egg to
each ten young turkeys, mixed with
dry rolled oats-same as used at table
after mixing with this feed a n tea
spoonful cayenne pepper, three times a
day, adding occasionally some chopped
onions. Gradually disseminating the
eggs, but keeping on with onion, pep
per and oatmeal. | never have lost
any with lice, believing the onions and
pepper affect the skin and keep away
vermin The roosting place is chang
ed often. The youngsters are allowed
range at one week old.

Hens Bleeding to Death.

Henry Pearman, of Deer Harbor,
writes that he has lost some fine
Leghorn hens during the very colo
weather that visited his section lately,
and he lays it to getting their combs
frozen and bleeding to death. The
fowls were in good shape when the
cold snap came and some of them were
laying. AS soon as they got their
combs frozen they would begin bleed
ing and die in about day. Our cor
respondent is considerably puzzled
about the case and would like to have
some reader of The Ranch explain to
him.

A California lady who takes care Of
the poultry on her husbands ranch
makes the following suggestion for her
sister poultry raisers: Mix your
mashes in an iron Wheelbarrow which
is lighter and runs easier than wood
en- barrow. 1t is also easier to keep
clean than a trough and handling it
is also lighter work than carrying
the poultry food in pals. By using
this barrow a woman can feed hun
dred and fifty fowls, day in and out,
yet have strength left for Homework.
Use a grocer's metal scoop to put the
mash in the feeding trough.
The White Wyandotte Farm, of In
glewood, Cal, has issued it's first cata-
logue, and those who desire a copy
should write to Anna l.. Pinkert0n,
the manager, for one. This farm was
established last summer and was
planned with the greatest care and eX-
actness. The founder had been in the
business of raising White Wyandottes
in the east for fourteen years, and she
brought with her all the best birds
she had or could procure, with the re-
suit that today she has at IngleWood
flock that cannot be excelled in any
other section.
We quote from Farm Poultry sim
pie remedy for canker given by Ida M.

mouth of the fowl with a soft cloth on
stick. In few days the sore will
turn black and drop off. l have cured
