or made up BY spiking together two
pieces Of 2x4 studding. 1t should be

the base, as shown in the sketch. The
bottom should be smooth in order to
slide freely over the ice. 1t
The sweep, @, should be about 16

on top of the upright, B, from one
quarter to one-third projecting over,
where the ice tongs are attached The
remaining portion, with the rope, D,
attached gives plenty Of leverage for
lifting the heavy cakes.
After a season" Of cutting ice, the
two icemen proceed to lift out and

catches onto the floating cakes, while
the other man presides at the rope, D.
The sleigh should be in the handiest

Profits in Pork.

Why do not the farmers put up more
of their pork, cure it and sell it in the
summer? This would bring more profit
than marketing the hog to the butcher.
The American Agriculturist has made
a careful estimate of the waste in
slaughtering hogs at home, which shows
facts that will be profitable to the pork
raiser. Take hog weighing at home
200 pounds, on a basis of 5-cent mar
ket, live weight. It's value is $40 II
fat, the hog loses about 90 per cent, or
40 pounds, leaving 100 pounds edible
portion. Approximately the dressing
will be: Two hams. 30 pounds; two
shoulders, "a pounds; four strips ba-
con, % pounds; spare ribs, head, feet
and backbone, IS pounds, leaving about
As pounds for sausage and lard. The
meats to be smoked will increase about
10 per cent in weight In the pickle,
but lose about the same as the dress
ing weight The following are very
conservative prices for a country dress
ed hog: Thirty pounds ham, at Il
cents, S4.20; % pounds bacon, at Is
cents, $500; "a pounds shoulder, at 8
cents, safe: 40 pounds lard or sausage,
at 1919 cents, $500; % pounds back

Causes for a short crop may be laid
at the door Of land deficient in fertil-
ity or plant food. Such land should
have composted manure applied and
turned under ap<@ top dress. Ashes
should also be broadcasted. Another
reason is improper preparation Of the
SOIL PloW deeply and harrow until
fine, light and mellow. Again there is
poor crop when varieties are planted
that are not adapted to that particular
kind of soil and climate. This can be
determined either by the success Of
neighboring farmers of that locality,
or by testing a limited number Of
plants. Failure often comes from set
ting poor plants; only hardy, vigorous
plants should be purchased. Careless
" setting out plants will also cause a
shortage They should not be exposed
to the sun or wind before setting.
When put out the roots should be we'll
spread and fine dirt hrmed around
them.
Using imperfect fertilizers Is anoth-
err cause. There is q sex in plants
Pistillates (female) must have stami-
mates (male) set with them to insure
good crops. Cultivation must not be

must be fine, mellow and free from

Selecting Dairy Cows.

While there may be no infallible rule
by which a man can be governed in Sc
lecting a high-class dairy cow, there
are many points that will assist and if
carefully considered will prevent dis
appointment as a rule. Remember that
a COW is a machine and is intended to
change the different products on which
she is fed into something of more value
There are two distinct types of these
machines. One manufactures or con-
yerts feed into beef; the other into
milk. There is a very decided and pro-
nounced difference in the type of the
animal that makes beef and the one
type we have an animal that is angu-
lar, thin, somewhat loose ointed and
with prominent bones. She is wedge
shaped from the front, with lean
head, moderately long face slightly
dished and a general contented express
sion of the features. The muZzle Is
large, mouth large, nostrils wide and
open, a clear, full bright eye, a broad,
full and high forehead, ears medium
size. fine texture, covered with fine
hair and orange yellow inside The neck
is thin, moderately long, with little or
no dewlap, and the throat is clean.
Wide space between the jaws, the
withers lean and sharp, the shoulders
lean and oblique and the chest deep
and wide, which indicates vigor and
onstitution.-Field and Farm.

Ice Harvesting.

Every year the use Of ice increases.
It is not merely a luxury, but becomes
necessity as soon as it's value is
known by experience. Ice in the dairy
Is almost Indispensable for holding

Ice should be cut with a saw into
blocks of regular size, so that they will
pack solidly into the ice house without
leaving spaces between them. A regu-
lar cross-cut saw with one handle re-
moved will answer the purpose.

of new dies, which are expected to
correct a fault discovered by local
bankers. With one ground of COM

Oakland. Sept, 1.-THE police
have finally admitted that they were
unable to solve the mystery of the
murder of Mrs. Alice Donohue, on
June Il, in Emeryville.
Last week Captain Peterson was
given a letter written by Joseph
Berry, the woman's former consort,
to Daniel Donohue, which reached
Oakland after the latter's sensational
suicide. 1t was taken from the post
office by Deputy Public Administra-
tor Flood The letter is from Knob,
Shasta county, and bears date of
September 4, and in it Berry asks
Donohue to tell everybody who the
murdered woman was and to make
public the fact that she was not his
wife, threatening, if he did not do
so, he would himself notify all the
lodges and newspapers One quota
ton in particular from the letter Is
considered pertinent. 1t is:
Il thought that such a thing
would happen a long time ago, since
the last time seen her, on the 10th
day of April, 1901, at Forty-sixth
street, Oakland"
This had reference to the murder
of the woman.

Olympia-Mandamu proceedings
were begun before the state supreme
court Monday by Judge Charles A.
Riddle, of Seattle, against Samuel Fl.
Nichols, secretary of state, to COM
pei him to place the nominees of the
Socialist party ticket on the official
ballot without fee. The purpose of
the party in appealing directly to the
supreme court on summary pro-
ceeding is to obtain decision on the
question at the earliest possible date,
and in the highest tribunal OF the
state. Socialists claim that IL they
paid this fee in all cases in the state
the expense would be over $4,000.
After the nominations, which the
Socialists conducted last week among
themselves, on the same day as the
primaries, Secretary Of State Nichols
was given a list of the names of the
nominees with the request that he
give them their proper place on the
ballot to be voted in November. The
application was not accompanied by
the required fee, and when the So
cialists refused to pay it he declined
to comply with their request.

and IS persons injured in wreck
at Chesterton, Ind. on the Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern railroad

covered consciousness and it was
stated that all would recover. Prac-
tically all of the injured live in In
dianapolis.
An ofic-l statement issued by the
Lake ShuAs railroad declared that
the accident was due to the engine
man on the suburban train disre-
garding the automatic block signal.
This was probably largely due to the
mixture of fog and smoke from the
Northern forest fires obscuring the
light No one on the suburban train
was hurt.

Bold Thugs Rob Merchant.

Spokane-"Put down that baby
and dig up your money" was the
command given by the leader OF a
pair of masked thugs to e. w.
Adams, proprietor of the Kenwood
grocery store, Saturday evening. In
the store purchasing goods were two
women and the groceryman was
holding his baby in his arms. The
demand on the grocer was backed
up by a revolver, and Adams put
down the baby, who toddled about
the store while the father trembling
ly emptied the till and his pockets.
Meanwhile the other thug terrified
the women, but their terror was not
the sort that ties the tongue.
you ought to be ashamed OF
yourself" said one woman to the
holdup. She had picked up a banana
which the thug for moment evil
IDENTITY thought might be a weapon.
I'VE don't intend to harm you." he
said to her, you put down that
banana and quit your ragchewing.
The women and Adams then held
up their hands in the air until the
marauders had taken all the money
the grocer had. The women were
not robbed. The Kenwood is a cor
ner grocery in a well populated sec
ton of the residence district.

INTERSTATE COMMISSION TO
PROBE PULLMAN RATES.

Chicago, Sept. ia general In
yestigation of the Pullman Company,
its schedule of rates and it is alleged
determinations, is to be begun by
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion In Chicago this week. The case
grows out of complaints filed with
the commission by George S. Lotus,
a former railroad man of St Paul.
He declares that the rates charged
by the Pullman Company can be
reduced SO per cent and still yield
large profits. He also maintains that
a smaller charge should be made for
an upper than for lower berth.
Mr.. Lotus first complained OF the
Pullman rates between Twin Cities"
and Chicago. The hearing on this
complaint was begun in st. Paul
year ago, but was adjourned to be
taken up again in Chicago. A little
later the second complaint was filed
by Mr.. Lotus, asking for general
investigation.
Commissioner Lane will probably
hear the case.
