Think how much good those heaps
of manure you have allowed to accu-
mulate in the hen house would do in
the orchard and garden. IL is doing
harm there, 1t is needed for tho land.
Why, do you know IL has been esti-
mated that the manurial value of the
droppings of each fowl per year has
been estimated at fourteen cents?
The New Jersey station values the
fresh manure Of fowls at s4.96 per
ton; the Massachusetts, station values
II at s5.2S. The farmer don't value II
at all, yet fresh hen manure is con-
hdered nearly twice as valuable as
fresh cow manure. II Is claimed that
the poultry manure II sold or used
would cover the cost of the care OF
the fowls. Left in the hen house to
dry. the dust breathed in by the fowls.
II costs the farmer more than he
would willingly pay did he know.

PROVED HIS ABILITY.
A Tenderfoot's Wonderful Feat In
Herding Sheep.

In the west they tell this story about
the east, perhaps by way of retalia-
ton for some of the tall stories about
the west that they tell down east.
A young man, just graduated from
an eastern institution of learning,
went to the west and applied at a
large ranch for a job.
What can you do?" asked the
owner.
Nothing much, but I'm willing to
work and can learn" replied the eager
applicant.
"Know how to ride a horse?"
mo, 1 never rode one in my life"
Rather a slim chance for you to be
useful here, I'm afraid
What have you to do for man if
he could ride?"
"Herding sheep"
II think l could get along at that
very well without a horse"
Young man, I'm afraid you don't
know much about this business. / have
a large ranch here and some thou
sands of sheep. a man without horse
would make a pretty poor show"
"Well, I'll tell you; when / was at
college 1 was the champion sprinter
of the institution. / believe 1 could
do you some good service. 1 have a
long distance record too. / wish you'd
give me a chance and let us see what
L can do"
With a good natured but plying
smile the ranchman said all right and
babe his new man to get some supper,
turn in and be ready to go to work
early the next morning.
When the employer rose next morn
ing he saw the new employee coming
in from the direction of the sheep
quarters. Somewhat surprised at the
young fellows enterprise in getting up
so early, he accosted him:
'Well, you're up and ready to go to
work, are you?"
"Oh, my, yes! I've been at work
for two or three hours
Then the ranchman noted that the
tenderfoot was dressed in working
clothes, a sweater, and already looked
rather flushed. What have you been
doing?' he asked.
Driving those lambs into the cor
rail-"
What lambs? have no lambs. This
is not the lamb season."
"Well, l chased eighty-five of them
in, and 1 tell you 1 had a time of it
too
The ranchman went with the young
tenderfoot to see what the story he
told was about
And, sure enough, huddled up togeth
er. frightened and tired out, were
eighty-five wild jackra bbits.
"All right, young man; think you'll
do" said the ranchman.-Chicago Rec

WILL BE NO EXTENSION.

1t is understood from local railroad
men in position to know of what they
are speaking, that the c., /. & f., now
owned by the Pennsylvania, will not
be extended from Muncie, terminal
point, to Hagerstown, as was planned
when the bigger corporation took over
''the road of many troubles" 1t was
planned to run branch from the
GLASS City" to Hagerstown or New
Castle and by so doing shorten the
Chicago branch of the road. Such an
extension would also give the Penn
sylvania better shipping facilities out
of Muncie, one of the largest manu-
featuring cities in the gas belt.
Since the Pennsylvania secured con-
troll of the Harry Drew road, low-
ever, the freight business has increas-
ed wonderfully, the Pennsylvania be-
ing able to handle freight to Converse
and thence east, as fast as other roads
running eastward out of Muncie. The
passenger business OF the road has in
creased since the road has been under
the guiding hand of the Pennsylvania.
