At Fuerth, which is close to Nuremberg,
a flourishing trade and industry has
likewise sprung up since about the end
of the eighteenth century. Next to Nu-
remberg and Fuerth the town and dis
trict of Sonneberg has for many years
enjoyed the best reputation for its toy
industry and trade, while in the Saxon
"Erzgebirge," a district comparatively
poor in natural products, the manufac-
ture Of toys has likewise for some time
furnished a source Of livelihood to
thousands of its inhabitants.
The toys made at Nuremberg and
Fuerth are chiefly of the metal variety,
made either of tin, timed sheet iron
or of tin and lead alloys. OF the more
than 200 toy factories established in
both of these towns, about $50 are de-
voted exclusively to metal toys, the
only part of them worked by hand be-
ing the final painting, while all the rest
is manufactured by machinery. In this
respect this toy industry of the two
Bavarian towns occupies rather diff
ferent position from that of all the
other parts of Germany, where 1t is al
most exclusively carried on by manual
labor; that is to say, by workmen and
women in their own homes. The sue
cess Of the Nuremberg and Fuerth met
al toy manufactures is mainly attrlbu-
table to the skillful manner in which
the materials have been employed, and
In which the machinery and tools used
for the work have been adapted and
gradually improved by the toy manu-
facturers themselves, thus enabling
them to produce large quantities of
articles within O comparatively short

Budding Fruit Trees.

1t is sometimes desirable to bud or
Char6 trees at time when cleft graft
ing can not be done. The work can be
done In late August, September and
eHily October. The purpose Of budding
trees is very much the same as that
OF grating. The apple, plum and rose
bush particularly, may be operated up
on to advantage and with good results.
The work of budding can be done by
sharp, round-pointed knife and a
piece Of yarn. Usually the best results
follow by selecting a place where the
branch is from ~ to u inch In diane
Ter, and where the bark is smooth and
healthy With the rounded part Of
the knife cut lengthwise of the branch,
Just through the bark q slit about ~
inches long, and at the top of this
slit cut across about y inch. as shown

and soon branches will come out along
the cane, increasing the number to take
root, and adding to the productiveness
Of the plant the next season. Leave
the bearing cane in its place until fall.
Later, when it is time for the tips to
attach themselves to the soil, the root
ing can be facilitated by a slight COW
ering Of dirt In preparing for the
crop in spring head in the branches to
two or three feet, according to their
strength.

Value of Humus.

That soils need humus is shown by
the recent test at the West Virginia
station. The ash Of stable manure,
even when applied with sodium nitrate,
did not show as large returns as when
stable manure alone was applied. In
number of cases it is decaying hu.
mus and not latent plant food ele.
ments that the farmers soil needs. See
that the soil is rich in organic matter
first, then If 1t fails to produce, apply
the plant food elements In the prepared
forms.

GERMANY's TOYS.
Their Manufacture One of the Coun-
try's Big Industries.

bAB
Some interesting particulars OF the
toy industry of Germany have been
published by the British consul at Ham
burg. Toys constitute one of the most
important branches of German manu-.
facture. In the year 1903 the total vol
ume of toys exported from all parts of
the German Empire was 34,717 tons,
valued at $13,931,370. Though there is
hardly any country in the world to
which German toys are not exported,
the most important customer of Ger
many is Great Britain, which in the
year under review received 1928 tons.
The second most important market for
German toys is this country, the ex-
ports to which amounted in 1903 to H.
055 tons, valued at $4,093, ,135.
The most important centers for the
manufacture of toys in Germany are
Nuremberg and Fuerth in Bavaria, Son.
neberg and some other parts of Thur
ingia and the Saxon "Erzegebirge. /"
Nuremberg, above all, has long been
known throughout the world for its
trade and industry, and German toys,
wherever made, still go in many coun-
tries by the name Of Nuremberg toys.

shower of Fish in Australia.

In communication to the Royal So
ciety Of Queensland, Douglas Ogilby re-
cords the occurrence of a shower of
fishes which fell in Brisbane during a
severe hailstorm on Oct. 7 last.
They were identified as the species
known as the trout gudgeon (krefftius
adspersus). Such showers of small fish
are not unknown in other parts of the
world. Sometimes after a heavy rain
they are found swimming about in the
pools formed ON the surface of the
fields.
The explanation is that the waters
of a pond or lake have been drawn up
into the clouds by whirlwind, carry
ing some of the smaller fry with them.
The latter, of course, promptly descend
again In the rain.-London Globe.

Testing the Health of an Animal.
The pulse of a horse when at rest
beats forty times per minute; of an
OK from fifty to fifty-five; of a sheep
and pig about seventy(to eighty.
The pulse may be felt wherever a
big artery crosses bone. 1t is gener-
ally examined in the horse on the cord
which passes over the bone Of the lower
jaw in front Of Its curved position, or
in the bony ridge above the eye; and
in cattle over the middle of the first
rib; in sheep by placing the hand on
the left side. where the beating of the
heart may be felt.
Any material variations of the pulse
from the figures given above may be
considered as a sigh Of disease. If
rapid, hard and full 1t is an indica-
ton of high fever or Inflammation; lf
rapid, small and weak, low fever, loss
Of blood or weakness If slow the pos
sibilities point to brain disease, and If
irregular to heart troubles.

The black raspberry has its peculiari-

Getting a Start with sheep.

When the farmers in the corn ano
grass states reach the point where they
have their fields all fenced hog tight,
they should not delay for any consider
able length Of time getting a start in
sheep, says Wallace's Farmer. 1t Is
not necessary to have large flock. 1t
Is good deal better not to have it for
two or three reasons: One is that sheep
do not do well with hogs and cattle.
This is the reason why so few sheep are
kept in the hog and cattle country.
Another reason is that those who have
had no experience in sheep would do
well to advance slowly, and, If need be
retreat rapidly. Twenty-Five ewes and
a good buck are as many as the mex
perienced farmer should start with. The
expense of these is comparatively small,
the possible loss therefore not great in
case the man should prove not to be a
fit man to handle sheep. There are some
men of this kind. The chances of loss,
however, are very small where the
farmer has any kind Of sheep gumption
about him.

Rounding up Bad Characters.

The police have been gathering
in several undesirable citizens"
who have been making a temporary
residence in the city. The gentle
men were ordered to leave, but
failing to decamp, were arrested and
brought to the bar of municipal
justice. They will probably leave
or be given jail sentences, at hard
labor. The labor is very desirable,
as road work is very much desired.
Mrs. Brown, who lives in Nymore,
and two girl companions were taken
into custody yesterday and given
a hearing. Mrs. Brown was charged
with lettering about the rear of the
saloons and becoming intoxicated.
She was given sentence of SIS fine
or thirty days in Jail, taking the jail
sentence. Her two young compan-
ions were given strong talking to
and released.

Liquidation at the Burroughs.

H. P. Burroughs may lose control
of the Merchants hotel of this city.
Thome & Mayer, the owners of the
block, served papers yesterday on
Mr.. Burroughs for possession of the
building alleging that Burroughs had
broken the lease by failing to pay
one months rent, amounting to $235.
The case will be taken before
Judge Simons Tuesday morning at
10 o'clock, and in case the decision
is in favor of the plaintiffs, new
man will take charge of the hotel
soon after that date.
Thome & Mayer received tele-
gram from the Boutell Bros Furni-
ture company of Minneapolis, who
own part of the hotel furniture, stat
ing that their representative would
be here Monday to take charge of
their interests.
The rumor which has been going
around to the effect that the state
inspector of buildings has condemned
the Thome & Mayer block is false.
The building is in a sound condition
and is perfectly safe, according to
Thome & Mayer.
