HEARD ABOUT TOWN

A good story is told on a trio of
local disciples of Isaac Walton the
other day. These hired rig and a
driver and armed with the necessary
implements of warfare held them
selves to place suited to their
piscatorial tastes. After working hard
for several hours and landing half
dozen measly little denizens of the
deep they bethought themselves of
lunch and a return home. They
found the wagon and the lunch but
the driver had disappeared. They
made a long and vigorous search but
failed to find the recreant Jehu. Fin
ally they persuaded a neighboring
farmer to drive them to town Each
was occupied with his own thoughts
during the return trip. Being as
one of the party wears the clothing
of the clerics, it is to be presumed
that the thoughts of at least that
one would not have disgraced him
had they been printed. AS to the
others, just ask-well, ask Doc.
Speaking Of fishing. there was a
little party that spent parts of two
days and night recently at
Birch Lake. A good haul
was made and all claimed
credit for it, but those who are
acquainted with the personnel of the
party, well, they are from the state
where the Budweiser comes from. A
little bird that was perched on a tree
near the scene of the piscatorial
operations whispers to The Herald
that one of party grew so enthusiast
tic over the sport that whenever he
had a bite, shouted: Throw out the
anchor; there's a million of EN-

people had plenty of bass to eat for
several days afterward.
Being a stranger in town l got
two good fellows all mixed up not
long ago-I know better now. They
look alike and are both all right,
but somehow or other 1 could not
tell them apart for some days. One
of them went away for day or two
and I said the other one was out of
town and thereat the latter wondered,
for he had been doing business right
along at the old stand: Finally
tumbled: and now l know that one is

Each of these two exemplary citi-
zens wondered which had been paid
compliment in the course of the
mixing process. Being wise guy

Just drawn. As he sees the women Of
to-day they are almost as warlike as

undergoing considerable notifications

dependence and the sweet unreason-

sex are giving place to love Of ad-
vertisement and taste for unseemly
scenes of rowdyism and violence. The
doves are changing into eagles. Even
the hatpin designed for innocent pur-
poses Is becoming In the hands Of
women as much weapon of damage

Prlmping among the women employees
OF the government printing office must
cease. An official order has been Is
sued removing all mirrors from the big
building In times past many of the
floors had forty to fifty mirrors upon
the walls In convenient reach of women
employees when ready to go to lunch
or to leave for the day. Each mirror
belonged to a particular beauty or to
a congenial group, and the utmost har-
mony prevailed.
"Now," complain the girls, "tbere Is
but one large mirror left and that In
the main dressing room. 1t is impos-
slble for a hundred or more women to
gather around one mirror at one time
and get any satisfaction out OF the
proceeding. Consequently, we have to
dash on our hats, guess at where our
faces need washing most and saunter
out on the street perfect frights."
''rhe women waste too much time In
fixing their hair and arranging their
hats" is said to be the reasoning of
the department officials.
"We waste no time belonging to the
government and should certainly have
the right to look decent" is the way
the women see 1t.

If the nose Is shiny use borax water
or wash it with cornmeal instead OF
soap.
For hoarseness beat up the white OF
an egg, flavor with lemon and sugar
and take some occasionally.
Hay, sprinkled with a little chloride
of lime and left for an hour in a closed
room will remove the smell of new
paint.
There can be no health without ex-
ercise and system of exercise should
be practced that will bring in play
all the muscles of the body.
For feet that persplre too freely put
a tablespoonful of vinegar in the foot
bath; the soles of the feet may also be
rubbed with spirits of camphor.
For corn or bunion paint over every
day with the following solution: Colo
dion, one-half ounce; sodium borate,
one-half dram; extract cannabis, one

One of the most irksome tasks of
moving is the packing of books. They
are heavy, hard to pack, and the bind
ings are easily married The best way,
in case there is a number to be removed,
is to provide the requisite number of
soap or shoe boxes, line them with
newspapers and pack the books In
them, filling creyices with crumpled
paper. Spread papers on top, and box
covers need not be put on. Label each
box In case there are several bookcases,
and they will be the more easily re
stored to their proper positions. For
part of the joy of having books Is to
be able to put ones hand on the wanted

Russian Farmers Coming,

A crowd Of Russian farmers, the first
of this class of immigrants to arrive
at Philadelphia in any considerable
numbers, reached there recently on the
American liner Frlesland, from Liver
pool. There were many who had
fought for their country against Japan
and who still wore the military =
forms in which they had been dis
charged.
There were In all $50 Of these much
sought-after farmhands, nearly all of
whom are members Of the Greek ORTIZ
odox church. Most of the immigrants
left last night for Illinois, Minnesota,
Nebraska and the Dakotas. Though
llliterate, they are Industrious and
thrifty. The leader Of the party stated
that, owing to the political and eco
nomic crisis, 100000 farmhands will
leave Russia this year for the United
States, coming principally from the
Dnelper and Don districts the richest
farming districts of the country.

When to Haul Manure,

Several of the State experiment sta
lions have shown by their tests loss of
fertility in barn and stable manure by
the old methods of handling it, which
suggest the Importance Of daily or
weekly hauling and spreading on the
fields The latest experiments made by
the Ohio station prove that when ma
nure was thrown into the open barn
yard and permitted to lie there for
five months before being hauled to the
field it had value of $40 per ton.
When drawn directly to the field as
fast as 1t was made the value was
1925 per ton. When the manure was
sprinkled with ground phosphate rock
as fast as it was made in the stable,
thus preventing some loss Of ammonia,
the value was S5.1S per ton.
The claim Is made that at least one
third of the value of the manure Is lost
as it Is usually put on the land with a
fork and that ten loads put on with a
manure spreader go as far and do as
much good as fifteen loads put on In the
old-fashioned, careless way.

FertiIizinr for Fruit.

The growing of fruit demands labor
at the proper time, and considerable
work Is done before spring opens
Where growers have combined to keeI
insects and parasites in check the re
suit has been beneficial If the labor
and cost of fertilizers must be consld'
cred 1t is safe to assert that fruit
growers derive larger profits from rasp-
berries and blackberries than many OF
them deserve, as 1t Is only when pick
ing and harvesting the crop that the
real labor Is performed. After such
crops are harvested some fields receive
but little care and cultivation, and 1t is
seldom that manures or fertilizers are
applied, though the strawberry is treat
ed differently. Enterprising fruit grow
ers maintain that 1t pays to give black
berry and raspberry canc~ good Guilt
walton, and to apply fertilizers LIBERAL
ly, as the increased crop Of berries and
vigorous vines more than pay the ex-
pense. During periods of drought the
grassy rows Of canes must compete for
moisture with intruders, and 1t often
happens that dry period sets in just
at the time the berries are rlpening,
and when moisture Is greatly needed.
When the soil Is clear of grass and
weeds, and the surface of the ground
loose, the loss from lack of moisture Is
greatly reduced.

The Tobacco Crop.

That the United States has become
the largest producer Of tobacco in the
world is shown by an official bulletin
containing an estimate of the extent
and value of the crop raised last year.
In all about 796,O99 acres of tobacco
we're grown, producing an average
yield Of 1912 pounds to the acre, or
total Of $50 ,42S,530 pounds The av-
erage value Of the crop was 10 cents
per pound, or total of about SOS, 1872
647. While 1t is almost impossible to
comprehend the magnitude of the val
ue of the manufactured products of
tobacco, glance at the total figures
may convey some idea Of the develop
ment Of this great and distinctive
American industry.
In 1900 the total value of the manu-
featured products of tobacco was
1888, 076, 546. In the manufacture 1872
1T people were employed who earned
total wage OF $49,s52, 4S4.

partially founded on fact. Still, If 1t

The Interior of a beehive was a seal

allowed man to scan the wonderful
pages. This was the first, the revolu-

To-day bee culture Is almost an ex-
