Tom, Dick and Harry.

"Some folks have hard time to find
odd enough names for their children"
said a man in an uptown club the
other evening. They will search
through all kinds of books on the sub
ject. consult all their friends and rela-
tfyes and finally burden the youngster
with something never heard Of before.
Il know one man. hoWeyer-he Is d
banker and lives on West End avenue
who, while he did not spend much
time in search of names, adopted a
scheme which is very novel. 1t took
FIVE years to carry out the scheme,
now complete. The first boy he named
Tom. the second Dick and the third
Harry. This particular trio is about as
much talked about In the neighbor-
hood as the noted Tom. Dick and Har-
ry Of whom nearly every one has
heard."-New York Times.

SiIaqe For Beef Production.

An Iowa experiment station bulletin
concludes that a trial only is neces-
sary to convince stock raisers in the
corn belt that silage is an economical
feed for the production of beef as we'll
as for the production Of milk. Silage
when included in the ration for steers
makes it more palatable and in this
manner is an active agent In bringing
about more rapid gains. Also in many
cases well preserved silage has been
found cheap and successful feed for
sheep, swine and horses Our system
Of feeding in the west will be hope
lessly lame until we recognize the ne
cessity Of giving our live stock as
nearly as possible winter ration
which closely approximates the sum-
mer feed Silage comes nearer than
anything discovered to date.-Farmers

HINTS FOR. FARMERS
Feed Charcoal to Hoas.

Nearly every hog feeder practices
burning the coEncobs. knowing that
the hogs relish eating the charcoal
made of the cobs. says Farmers Ad.
vocate A splendid way to dispose Of
the cObs and make all excellent quality
OF charcoal is to dig hole in the
ground about five feet deep. After the
cobs are dry they can be placed in this
hole, starting a fire in the bottom as
they are placed in the pit and add
ing cobs, so that the flame is grad
ually drawn to the top until the pit is
filled with cobs. Then the pit should
be covered with a sheet iron cover
made so as to fit over the entire hole
and close up the cobs that are on fire.
The edge Of the lid should be sealed
by throwing loose dirt over it. Cobs
will burn this way into fine quality
Of charcoal and after standing about
twelve hours may be uncovered and
taken out. A better way to feed this
charcoal is to mix it in about this pro-
portion: To six bushels of cob char
coal add eight pounds of salt and
about two quarts of air slaked lime;
also one bushel of wood ashes. The
charcoal should be broken into small
pieces and the mixture thoroughly
stirred. 1t should not be fed upon the
ground but placed in box where the
hogs can get it at will

judged, of difficulties between them.
The young husband gave every evil
dence of being able to make a living
for himself and his Wife except for
some especial obstacle. The wife had
sweet face and was very pretty.
While sitting on the seat of Judgment,
sending hardened criminals to their
punishment. | kept my eye on this
couple. Experience told me that one
had come to make some complaint of
the others treatment; but, familiar as
| was with real guilt, l knew that it
did not belong to either When | had
disposed of the bulk of my cases i
called the couple before me and with
out inviting either to state the diff
Guilty between them l asked:
How long have you two been mar
ried?'
Just one year today" replied the
girl sadly.
And this is the anniversary Of your
wedding day. You come here with
what you consider a trouble Do you
know that you have no trouble:"
There was no reply to this. Both
stood mutely belying my statement by
the misery Of their appearance and the
expression on their faces
How old are you?" l asked the hus-
band
Nineteen, your honor
"And your" Of the girl.

What should / do with this boy and
girl to turn their antagonism into for
glveness and affection? Suddenly it
came to me as an inspiration from
heaven
"Sit down there. side by side and
think pleasant things of each other.
Mind. you are not to think ANYTHING
dlsagreeable. If such things come into
your heads, drive them out at once and
begin again on something affectionate.
They did as bid them, while 1 pro-
ceeded with the remaining cases to
come before me. I still had my eve
on them and found them an interesting
study. The husband sat for awhile
with lowering brow, but he was eyi.
IDENTITY trying to do my bidding, and
after awhile I noticed that it had re-
Taxed. The wife apparently found it
easier to think pleasantly Of him. and
presently / saw her steal a glance at
him. It was anxious. pleading loving

His hand was on the seat and partly
covered by her skirts. Hers disap
peared from view, and I knew that It
rested on his. / waited a moment to
see If he would withdraw his. and
when he did not l knew that the case
was won.
A pleasurable feeling came over my
hardened judicial heart, and, looking
from this comparatively innocent pair
to creatures into whom only divinity
could inject mite Of the good, I
wished that I might be endowed with
such divine power. I sent one who
had Inherited sin and had lived since
birth in it's environment to jail, anoth-
err to the workhouse, third dismissed
with a warning. Men and women,
even children, disposed Of mercilessly.
Then when 1 had attended to all
called the young couple before me.
This is the anniversary Of your
wedding" I said "You remember
how happy you were on that day.
You remember" to the husband, "how
pretty she looked. Well. she Is as
pretty today, only senseless bieker-
ings have kept you from work, and she
is not so we'll dressed. And you," to
the wife, don't bother him about I'M
important things, nor importune him,
but dust trouble of him every day as
part. Now go and celebrate your first
wedding anniversary"
They turned away, but noticed that
there was something on the mans
mind. The wife came back and whis-
pered to me:
HE has nothing to celebrate with"
put my hand in my pocket and
drew forth some bills. "This Is for
the supper" I said, land this for the
alter tickets. Have a good time and
don't ever come here again on such an

AS they left me the man had an
abashed look, while his young wife's
face was wreathed in smiles. As /
looked at them felt the justice IN
my charge to the girl that it was her
part to ward trouble from her hus-
band Whatever he felt he had no abn-
ity to show: what she felt WAS as plain
as the sun In heaven.
The case, though different from the
thousands that came before me and re-
freshing as it was, had passed out Of
my mind when one day on taking my
seat for my days work l saw on my
lesk a cheap glass vase containing q
bunch of ordinary flowers. Before it
rested a card OH which was written:

is earthed over, and each time the leaf
appears more earth Is filed in until
after five or six coverings the holes
are level with the surface. The plant

stalky shoots which make a very stout
straw and, it is claimed. yield enor

Flowing the Orchard.

The proper time to pillow an apple
orchard is in early spring, as soon as
dry enough. 1t is usually bad practice
to pillow in the fall. There may be no
harm done, but there is always dan

There is also danger Of erosion by
