One Of our typos recently read a
pipe dream in one of the papers to
the effect that a contractor could
tell to an ounce what a skyscrap-
ing building would weigh when
finished. He thinks the story is
true and believes every word of it..
Easy! Why, Mr.. E. 2. Mark is
shrewd compared to him. That a
contractor could estimate to an
ounce the weight of a building,
appears plausible but the story is
not convincing.

Some weeks ago the cashier of the
subtreasury in Chicago had trou-
BILE in making his books balance.
The difference between his cash
and his books was small, only
$4,000, but 1t bothered him some
80 he called in his brother officials
and things Immediately got good.
Every possible clue was run down
but the money could not be traced;
it was finally decided that some
genius for crooked work had fshed
the bills out of the teller's cage
with bent wire during the alb
sence of that official and Uncle
Samuel regretfully charged the
amount up to experience, or profit
and loss, which is the same thing.
Recently it has developed that the
real thief was a negro scrub woman
whose genius for high finance has,
so it is said, caused Senator Till
man to jump straight up and grit
his teeth in impotent rage.

The increased cost of living, the
demand for picture hats, peek.a-
boo shirtwaists and long distance
gloves, to say nothing of the ma
chinations Of the grocer, meat and
coal trusts is rapidly putting
polygamy out of business in
Utahland. His whiskers finds that
it keeps him busy to look out for
one wife under the present regime;
the days of calico wrappers for
Sunday wear and bread and milk
as a steady diet are no more; the
Utah maiden is growing wise;
she never was greatly impressed
with the idea of dividing her hub
by with four or five other women,
and she has gradually awakened to
the possibilities of the scheme
now in vogue, and it is proving an
amazing success; even a Mormon
cannot stand steady and persistent
touches on his pocketbook nerve.
In old Georgetown, Virginia, just
across the Potomac from the beau
tiful capital city of the nation
stands a dilapidated old house,
tumble down and lonesome looking,
that once, years ago, housed that
inspired singer, Francis Scott Key,
the author of "The Star Spangled
Banner" A society has recently
been formed to purchase and re-
juvenate this old house and make
of it one more shrine where the
patrlOtlc WOrshlpperS OF his cOun-
try's gifted sons may bow his rev.
erential head in memory of him
who wrote the patriotic words that
have cheered many battalion of
the boys in blue on to glory and
victory. As we listen inspiredand
thrilled by the swing, dash, rhythm
and rhyme of the swelling notes Of
this glorious battle hymn let us in
memory stop before this shrine the
tangible evidence of the morality
of this gifted man adding one leaf
to the lamented chaplet with which
his loving countrymen have
crowned him.

HUMOR OF THE HOUR

said. Everything looks so strange
and threatening. Where are we now?''-

strip" the guide replied. This is real
ly the only spot where pedestrians are
supposedly free from danger. The wa
ter is on one side and this embank--
ment on the other"
"Tell me-" said the man from Mars,
what are those google eyed demons,
| that fly along the road in fierce ma

'Those are the mile a minute auto

"And what are these sooty fiends
that urge the frail hulls along the

"Those are the mile a minute motor

"And what causes the wild rushing
sounds that come to me from over

"They are caused by the mile min

The man from Mars looked about
lnervolsly.
"And you say there is no danger
hereY
NO" replied the guide. THE dam
ger has been reduced to a minimum"
At that moment a detached tire flew
over the embankment and smote the
stranger grievously AT the same time
the motor boat cast off a flying eccen-
trio that smote him still more griev-
ously. AS he sank to the ground an
airship dropped a sixty pound bag of
ballast squarely on his head.
The man from Mars gasped feebly
and then made a mile a minute exit

TAFT COURTS SOUTH.
He Urges Democrats There to Change
Their Politics.

Lexington, Ky, Aug. 27.-Secretary
of War Taft opened the Republican
state campaign with discussion of
the race problem, general political is
sues from the southern standpoint and
an appeal to Kentuckians to aid the
Republican party in support of those
principles He said in part:
If only under the influence of President
Roosevelts administration some of the
southern states, including Kentucky,
could be led into the Republican column
in accordance with the real sympathies
of the voters of those states it would be
a GROWING glory of his administration.
1t will not necessarily work for the bene-
fit of the Republican party in the end,
because the closeness with which the
southern states have united in support
of Democratic candidates has introduced
a similar cohesion among the northern
states, and we might expect much more
Independence of voting at the north if the
voters there were not confronted with
the solidarity of the south. AS an Amer
lean citizen and lover of my country
long for the time when the south shall
be received again into the councils of the
nation and when the people of that Sec
ton shall resume the influence to which
they are entitled and which they deny
themselves by being frightened at a mere
ghost of the past

Telling the Health of Fowls.

Dr. Salmon of the bureau of animal
industry lays down this rule for telling
the health Of fowl by its droppings:
The condition of the droppings fur
nishes a good indication of the hens
health. They should be of sufficient
consistency to hold their shape, but
should not be too solid. In color they
should be dark, tapering off into a
grayish white. If the droppings are
soft or pasty or of a yellowish or
brownish color it indicates too much
carbohydrates or lack of meat. If,
on the other hand, the droppings are
watery and have dark red splashes Of
mucus in them it indicates too much
meat. A greenish, watery diarrhea
usually indicates insanitary conditions
either in the surroundings, the feed or
the water.

The South Dakota experiment sta
ton has issued bulletin on the feed
ing value Of emmer, which that sta
ton continues to call speltz, giving the
cost of production of beef and pork
when the ration consisted largely of
this grain. A mixture of emmer and
corn gave better results than emmer
alone, When fed alone 1T requires
from one to two pounds more to pro
duce a pound of flesh than with the
other grains" Emmer is an excellent
material to mix with corn because Of
the improvement Of the physical condi-
ton of the food, particularly corn,
which makes the mixture just about
the right consistency for good diges-
ton.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Flocs For the Aoa House.

A successful swine breeder gives the
following account of the floor he put
into his hog house:
The floor is made of hard brick laid
fiat in sand, the sand resting on gravel.
1t is not safe to use dirt for bottom.
as 1t settles and causes the floor to
sink irregularIy. Fill in, say, six
inches with cinders and gravel, then
layer of sand and then the brick.
When laying the brick don't put them
too close together.
After you have them laid put plenty
of water on them, so as to soak them,
and then mix sand and cement in the
proportion of three parts of sand to
one of cement and use enough water
so that 1t will pour freely. Pour this
over the floor and sweep it in with a
broom until the cracks are full The
hogs will not slip on this floor and
it is cheaper than plank loor.-Farm

siIaae Good For Horses.

Horses like silage as well as cattle
do after they get accstomed to it. A
man in Michigan few years ago win
exclusively, with no grain. They
came through in fine shape, and the
brood mares all had fine, strong colts.
The Ohio experiment station tried
feeding horses on silage through the
winter and reported that they came
through until spring in the best con-
dition. w. G. Bradley of Wisconsin
says that one year during spring work
be was out of hay, and the only coarse
fodder his horses had during all that
period of hard work was silage He

The Poultry Yard.

When corn on the ear is thrown to
yarded fowls the cobs should not be
allowed to accumulate for any length
of time. They, with the other litter,
should be raked up and burned. This
will prevent to great extent the de-
velopment of scaly leg. Keeping the
chicken yards in good condition takes
little time and not only makes them
slightly, but adds to the health and
well being Of the fowls.

seours In Calves.

Professor Shaw of the Michigan
Agricultural college says concerning
the treatment of scours in calves:
One of the best things we have
used and are using almost altogether
with which to suppress outbreaks of
calf scours is a mixture of tincture
of rhubarb, camphor and opiate, equal
parts in hot water, about teaspoon
full One of the most interesting re-
coveries ! have ever seen was in the
case of calf that secured and was
so near death that the feet were
stretched out cold and stiff, and there
was every symptom of death. The
calf was treated in that way twice,
then was fed with raw eggs and milk
occasionally, and lN recovered. He
was the sickest calf l ever saw, so
sick his hair all came off after a week
or ten days, but he is one of the best
feeders we have in the bunch today.

Charcoal Good For Farm Stock.

Charcoal is often recommended for
piss and fowls, but it is not generally
understood that it is a good feed for
any kind of stock fed with corn or
other heating material. There is an
effect from charcoal which helps to
correct acidity Of the stomach, and 1t
rapidly absorbs bases. 1t is excellent
for mixing with the food of animals
that are being fattened, experiments
showing that the increase is greater
when proportion of charcoal is al
lowed.
