Cost of Amusement.

1T costs a lot Of money to build and
operate an amusement park on large
SCALE" says Frederic Thompson, in
Everybody's.
II suppose that more than $25,OO0,-
600 are invested in these parks in this
country. Dreamland on Coney Island
cost about $2,5OO,OOO. Riverview Park
and the White City in Chicago cost
about a million each.
Luna Park cost $2,4OO,OOO. The to-
tai annual expenses, including the cost
Of rebuilding, of putting in new shows
and the operating expenses, average
about a million dollars, and the season
lasts four months. I spent $4,000 on
one show, Of which $68,0OO was for
animals, mostly elephants and camels
1T was the representation Of the In
dian durbar-and I lost 100000 on 1t.
7 charged the loss up to education,
and It was worth it. 1t costs $500 q
week to light Luna Park, and $4,000
for the music. The salaries Of the free
nerformers this season are $1,000 q
week. And all Of these expenditures,
as well as a good many others, go SIM

van Springs Ice Company. He was a
goodly young fellow, standing six feet
one in his stockings, with counte-
nance deeply bronzed by weather out
Of which his wide, blue eyes laughed
increasingly. His flannel shirt, open
little at the base of the strong,
round throat and his broad felt hat,
indented with a veritable Denver
poke" gave him a cowboy effect. He
was perfectly cognizant Of this and
traded on it with the maids at the va
riOus houses on his beat, before whom
he staggered not a little, dropping
hints of a western past, strewn with
Indian scalps.
"And was you ever there, now, Mr..
Brannigan?" one Of them once asked
him, and he answered, ambiguously:
Jaw, an if 1 harn't been, how
would 1 get the wownd on me crown? ~
what wownd on your crown? Go
on"
"I1l show it ye If yell step over
here"
Brannigan bent his FURNISHED curls
and pretty Nora stretched on tiptoe
to meet them. But just as the two
heads reached one level the hero lifted
his own quickly and kissed the fresh
colored face that looked so intently at
him.
'Sure, the situation was that con-
vaynient 1 couldn't help It," he urged,
fleeing to the door with smart cuff
ringing in his ears. Brannigan called
this sort Of thing Passing the time"
1t is only fair to add that he passed
1t in no worse ways. But he was to
learn that there was a type Of woman
hood demanding more differential ap-
proach.
The first time he saw Alma was on
q hot afternoon in August, when she
had just come down from Nova Scotia
and was feeling the atmosphere Of the
south end oppressive. Her mother,
who kept boarding house, and had
combined with that responsibility the
care of a shiftless second husband and
his two small boys, had written to
Halifax that Alma was needed; and
Alma, who had good place there, had
dutifully responded to the maternal
summons. She was a slender, dark
haired girl, with delicate complex
ion, and slim, ladylike hands.
Brannigan, swinging in with his
huge ice-block, took swift, apprecia-
tive look at her, dumped the ice in its
receptacle, and stopped on the return
swing for conversation.
"'Tis q warm day!"
Dreadful" said Alma, listlessly.
" didn't see we before?"
mo, I've just come"
"Yell not stay here; the old lady
can't kape no gyurl more than a
week; tits hole of a place!'"
Alma looked gravely at him, and he
wondered, until she said:
I'm Mrs. Browns daughter from
Halifax"
Brannigan went away at that, sud-
denly speechless.
He saw her nearly every day after,
but did not seem to make much head
way. A packet Of chewing gum, which
had appeared to him graceful atten-
ton suitable from any gentleman to
any lady, was received with disap-
pointing GOODNESS.
Its very kind Of you," she said,
sbut never use it. Mrs. Daily, where
I lived in Halifax, though it was COM
mon"
But Brannigan was hard to snub.
Like Antaeus, he rose the lustier for
his falls.

Nv.

The ride out on the open car was
very pleasant. Alma enjoyed every
bit of 1t, though she asked herself fire.
Quently, What was she about?
Brannigan was not retrospective !;
besides, he knew what he was about,
perfectly. He paid Alma's fares with
an authority she dared not gainsay
and sat with his arms on the back Of
the seat behind her, his eyes travelling
delightedly from her Sunday hat, with
it's impossible decorations, to her
sweetly embarrassed face and back
again. He felt the end in view.
"She's my gyurl," he was saying to
himself, proudly, "an' If she don't
know 1t yet, she's goin' to-"
His heart swelled he almost wished
some man would do something for
which he could knock him down. He
had the primitive instincts Of the tri-
bal lover; he wanted to and to have
her know that strength would always
stand between her and danger.
This feeling increased as time went
on and he saw more and more clearly
that Alma was unhappy at home. Her
eyes were often red. She complained
of headache and on being pressed con-
fessed that "the boys were tiresome."
Brannigan ono heard one Of them
The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1908-11-07

The next moment she was startled
and scandalized by the clasp Of an
arm about her waist and the touch Of
a brown mustache on her cheek.
"Ah, cheer up" whispered Branni-
gan tenderly, 1T don't sthorm livery
day!"
Alma freed herself with a quickness
that threw him on the defensive. In
his experience, where there was no re-
Spouse in kind, there were active rec
prisals. He stepped back to avoid the
expected slap, but the girl made no
sort Of demonstration. She simply
stood there with a white face and
looked unutterable reproach.
Tactics Of so novel kind were dis
composing. Brannigan's bronzed cheek
famed and the laugh died out of his
eyes.
"Say, I'm mighty sorry!" he muir
INJURED; II niver thought but ye'd like
it! The gyruls mostly does, an tits no

"I'm not that kind" said Alma,
sternly.
Brannigan was already convinced OF
this. He regarded her sheepishly and
ran his hand through his jungle OF
sunny curls.
I'm mighty sorry" he repeated,
and, as Alma showed no signs Of re-
lenting, went dejectedly to the door.
"'Twas sweet, what I got of 1t" he
unused, IAN tits bad luck I'll get no
more She's not that kind, It's true
for her."

The next few times that he carried
ice to the house he did not see Alma,
and when he did, on the fourth day,
her manner was excessively dignihed.
But as has been said before, Branni-
gan was hard to snub. And now he
was more so than ever, for the spirit
and self-respect Of Alma had wrought
in his impulsive heart the mystery of
love. Instinctively he reconstructed
his too orid vocabulary, and altered
some Of his ways.
"She's worth takin' trouble for" he
said to himself.
An unfailing instinct apprised Alma
of his new feeling toward her, and
she was aware, though she would not
allow it to herself, that she liked the
young iceman. His gentle persistence
had it's reward. and after while they

Alma's delicate color deepened. She
gazed fixedly at the handle of the
door. A more sensitive admirer than
hers might have suspected a hint of
dismissal in the direction Of her gaze
but Brannigan was not sensitive. He
came a step nearer.
"Ah! Say now, won't ye go?"
Alma was silent still.

experiments with Stable Manure.
At the Maryland agricultural sta
ton two sets of experiments with sta
Die manure-one covering three years
and the other seven years-have been
conducted.
The results as a rule favored the
use of fresh manure applied directly
from the stable as against rotten ma
nure The best results were obtained
by applying the manure as long in adj
vance of the time the crop was to use
1t as possible. As between APPLYING
fresh and rotted manure before and
after blowing. the results favored ap-
plying fresh manure as a top dressing
after blowing. In comparison of
ploWing under manure in the fall and
spring, the differences were slight, but
uniformly in favor Of allowing the
manure to remain on the land during
the winter and blowing it down in the
spring. Subsoiling In addition to deep
blowing did not show sufficient advan-
tage to warrant the extra expense in
VOWED. The use of kainit with the
manure seemed to exert a beneficial
influence every year, and 1t was more
marked in dry than wet seasons. The
growth of crimson clover was better
on soils receiving fresh manure than
on those treated with rotted manure.

The ,deaI Ear OF Corn.

Authorities have decided that the best
form for an ideal ear should be as
near a cylinder as possible. 1t should
be about 10 inches long and about Z
inches in circumference, or at least this
ratio should be maintained. The rows
of grains should be as near parallel as
possible and the grains should grow
well over the tip and butt. The grains
should be wedge shape and their length
should be at least twice their width
The cob should be small, from 81 to 30
per cent of an ear of corn should be
grain. In yellow corn the cob should
be red and in white corn 1t should be
white If one desires his corn to have
high protein content, the germ or
heart should be large. If meal is to
be made, the white or starchy end
should be firm, solid and heavy. The
grains of the dent" varieties win be
more or less wrinkled on the outer tip,
otherwise the surface of the ear should
be smooth and glossy. A dead color
usually indicates low vitality.-S. w.

Water for Fowls I'm Winter.

Many who supply their fowls with
water regularly during the summer fail
to recognize that it is just as necessary
during the cold months. Do you not
often want to drink more in cold wealth
err than in warm? Just fill the foun-
tain and feed trough at the same time,
and note where the crowd is at once
gathered. The food is as q rule dry
and tends In no way to satiate the
thirst. In summer dew, fruit and other
substitutes satisfy in measure, but
now the fowls are entirely dependent
upon their human friends at this point.
Always remove the chill from the wa
ter and let it be pure. Do not allow 1t
TO remain in the dishes over night and
freeze. Freezing water does not mean
pnre water, even though some germs
are killed by freezing. Exercise TIE
same care regarding cleanliness, which
was the rule during the summer, and
the fowls will not only drink with
greater relish but you viii likewise eat
their products with similar apprecIa-

however, that if fed to cows at all they
should be given in conjunction with

limited quantities. When fed thus the
pumpkin is valuable as a fall feed for
cows. 1t has one distinguishing feature
