handle them carefully SO as not "

1ations On sound judgment. Many cat

MARK TwAlN's RENTED CAT.
Humorist Furnishes Something TOT
Scribes to Puzzle Over.


Mark Twain, as is his custom, hides
himself during the summer from the
head hunters, those persons seeking
autographs, photographs, or intel'
views. This year he selected Tuxedo
Park as his retreat, renting an oia
colonial house until the latter part OF
September, when he returned to ms
New York home. There, during the
heated days, Mr.. Clemens wandered
about the country byways or spent
the time in various shady hooks In
his grounds.
A visitor who succeeded in discov'
ering his whereabouts found the greas
author in his famous suit or white
iannels, seated under tree pettine
q kitten.
where did you get it," queried the
friendly intruder.
For a moment there was a twinkle
in the aged humorist's eyes; 1t wa
succeeded by solemn look as he re
piled: Il rent it from a neighDor

THE FACULTIES OF JUSTICE.
Blind. Perhaps, But No Reasonable
Proof of Deafness Also

Judge Harlan, who lives up on the
hill, was a passenger on Fourteenth
street car the other day and was seat
ed next to a couple Of clerks who were
deeply interested in some discussion,
which caused one of them to raise his
voice to quite high pitch, says the
washington Star. This appeared to
make the other man rather cautious,
as he glanced warily around to see
If any one was listening to the tax
of his friend. At this moment he dis
covered the presence of the dignihed
Justice and turning hastily to his loud
talking comrade, he said: FOR
heavens sake, lower your voice; you
may have heard that justice Is DINO
but that doesn't necessarily mean
that it's deaf Also" Whether Judge
Harlan heard the remark 1t Is I'm
possible to state, yet, all the same,
calm smile fitted over his face a
the conclusion of the young fellow
admonition to his friend.

Manurino in Winter.

When coarse stable manure Is

does this all the better in early spring
as the manure under the furrow hoids

which is Just what is required TO cause
active fermentation. The release o.
ammonia as the manure ferments en-
riches all the soil above 1t, as the

Corn EnsiIage.

II is too commonly supposed tha'
ensilage made from fodder corn must
he uniform in its nutritive value. ms
As by no means the fact The ensiiage
nut up the last few years is much pet
Ger than that which was made al nrs'
when a large quantity rather than
quality was what was mainly sousn.
for. All corn ensilage requires .ha'
some supplementary food pc given
with it. for corn is not a well-oaianced
ration. But some corn ensilage re-
nuires more of other food as It's sup
nlement. 1t is possible to ensilage
corn when it has reached the caring
stage. cutting up the ear with the
stalk. This is worth two or. three
times more for the same bulk than
corn fodder sown or drilled too thick
ly to allow it to form ears ana cut d.
soon as il gets into tassel.
