NOT LOOKING roH ADVICE.
"Phln" Had His Own Reasons for
Most Peculiar Action.


Some years ago there lived in the
village of Vienna, Me-, a man by the
name of Phineas Jones, commonly
known at "Phin." Among other faults,
"Phin" had an unfortunate love for
something more fiery than soda water.
On one occasion he had driven to
Augusta, about 20 miles distant, and
during his day in town had imDibed
more than was good either for his
equanimity or his clearness of brain.
Returning at nightfall to the livery
stable where he had put up his outfit,
ne undertook to harness his own
horse, to the delight Of the stable
boys.
He managed to get the harness on,
after much trouble, but when he I'M
dertook to place the horse between
the thills, he led her in with her aston
ished face toward the dasher One of
the stable boys, convulsed with laugh
ter, called out:
Here, 'Phln, hadn't you better turn
your horse 'round?"
"Phin," in no mood to brook inter
ference, faced the boy with maudlin
dignity, and, steadying himself against
the wagon-wheel, replied, solemnly:
Young man (hic), p'raps you don't
know (hic) which way I'm goin'i"

The Feeding Platform.

has been in use for over five years
and has repaid for itself many times.
The platform was made by laying
down oak 4x4's and banking over
with pine two-inch stuff of fair quail
tty. The trough is V-shape made of
2xS-inch stuff The platform fronts
up to a fence whereby a slanting
board was fitted so that all the feed
ing is done without interfering with
the hogs while eating. Stats four
inches wide are firmly nailed nine
inches apart to prevent the hogs from
getting into the trough. The trough
is so arranged that with a broom it
can be thoroughly cleaned before
each feeding.

A Great Outside Remedv.

Most pains are of local origin-a
"crick" in the back, a twinge of rheu-
matism, a soreness all over arising
from cold-are all cured by outside
applications. The quickest, safest and
most certain method is Allcock' S
Plaster, known the world over as a
universal remedy for pain. They never
fail, they act promptly. they are clean
ana cheap. You can go right ahead
with your work while the healing pro-
cess goes on. Sixty years use has
given them a great reputation.

WARMING and Cooking Feeds.

In cold weather the value of warm
food is easily noticed, but the cost is
more than the increased value when
compared with the increase of the
flow of milk. Silage may be fed warm
without much additional expense, and
nrove valuable. Cooking feed for
cows was strongly recommended 40
wears ago, says Farm and Home, but
recent experiments have proved the
fallacy of this doctrine. Cows have
never been bred up to appreciate
warm feeds. Actual experience in
cooking feeds has shown that the I'M
cooked feeds proved to be more d.
gestible. the average in different feeds
giving a loss of six per cent by cook
ing.

Money in British Banks

In the last Is years British bank de-
posltors have doubled in number, from
less than 100000 to 10000 900, and
the ratio of depositors to population
has increased from in to l in Abs.
Deposits have increased from $780,
140,S61 to $740,24S,1S15O, and the num-
Der of postoffice banks from 10000 to
$4,000. The average of each account
is now s74.30. The scope of the bank

the total deposit of any one individual

HARVESTING CORN WITH SWINE.
Il is Economical and Wise Under Ger
tain Conditions.

In these days of scarce and expen-
crops can be done by animals, this
method of handling them should be
given due attention. The practice of
hogging down corn as it is called, is
growing in favor. But the present
practice can possibly be improved
upon. If some short variety of corn
were grown which produces ears
abundantly, and if a crop of pumpkins
were grown at the same time in the
corn. the combination should be a
good one. The corn being low of stat
ure would not hinder the growth of
the pumpkins as tah corn would.
There is a decided advantage in
grazing or feeding off these two to-
gether. says Orange Judd Farmer.
One advantage is. that the pumpkins
feed we'll along with the corn for
pigs that are being fattened, and espe'
ciallv along with new corn. They ex.
ercise a healthful influence on the
digestion. A second benefit is the in
creased nutriment obtained from an
acre by thus growing the two crops
together, and a third benefit resulting
is the harvesting OF the pumpkins as
well as the corn, without labor.
When growing this crop it will pay
we'll to have the land we'll enriched.
Pumpkins, if they are to grow we'll.
must have rich soil The yields are
usually proportionate to the high con-
dition of fertility in the land.

Return in Age to Childhood.

Attention has recently been called
to the curious fact that the shells of
certain animals, such as cephalopods,
brachipods and some bivalves, are
commonly marked by retrogressive
changes as age advances. THE old
mind and body states a well-known
scientist at Washington, and the
shell of the cephalopod has, in old
age, however distinct and highly orna-
mental the adult, very close resem-
blance to its own young"

Money in PopuIar SONGS.

According to a celebrated compos
er, the popular song, though sneered
at by the superior, is in reality the
ambition of most composers. Thou
sands of them, he says, would give
their ears to write a tune that
reached the barrel-organs" And when
it has been on the organs some little
time good many other people would
wish to dispose of their ears.
