 Uncle Dan Hummer got afraid he would starve this winter and rushed off and bought a lot of navy beans and planted them and now he's going to subsist this winter on navy beans and sugar cured hams.
 Bratton and PIumner are set ting good example for their neighbors to follow by cutting the weeds on the utside of their farms along the public highways and making their p5aees look as clean and neat a $ pin.

 That turkey gobler tale was pretty good in last weeks News. Don't Worry once had an old rooster that took charge of some orphan chickens whose mother had died and left them without protector, and he went about with those chickens and cared for them like an old hen with her brood, till they were large enough to be weened and look out for themselves. That old rooster showed such intelligence and manifested So much affection for those motherless chickens that he won our hearts to love him and a place in our memory for all time

REPLIES TO SENATOR
COMMISSIONER WEST ANSWERS
RECENT CRITICISM.

Commissioner West takes exception to
the statements made by Senator Burkett
on the floor Of the Senate last Tuesday
charging the Commissioners with failing
to do their duty in the interest of better
car service for the residents of Bright
wood and vicinity.
while / don't desire to engage in any
controversy over the matter" Commits
sioner West said today. 1.-The record of
the Commissioners regarding the service
of the cars on the Brightwood line is
perfectly clear. In fact, it was due to the
complaints of the people living at Pet
worth, Brightwood and points along
Brightwood avenue, which were presented
at several hearings accorded by the Com
missioners. that the latter submitted to
Congress bill which proposes to give the
Commissioner control over the schedules
of the street railways. The Commission
ers have repeatedly appealed for the
enactment of this law. but it has never
received the consideration of Congress.
I'm the particular case referred to in
the discussion of the District OF Columbia
appropriation bill a proposed amendment
was submitted to the Commissioners
which provided for six-minute Roadway
between cars on the Brightwood avenue
line running through to the city at all
hours of the day and night. and a prompt
reply being requested, the Commissioners
declined to indorse without consideration
a schedule which would result in cars be-
ing run at six minutes apart even at 3
o'clock in the morning. along BrightWood
avenue; besides which the proposed
amendment did not carry any penalty.
and therefore would no thaveN been worth
the paper upon which 1t was printed.
Facts Presented to Senate.
These facts were brought to the atten-
ton of the Senate committee with an addi-
tional statement that the bill which the
Commissioners had submitted to Congress
was intended to give jurisdiction over
complaints of this character and that il
such authority was vested in the Com
missIoners every complaint of every sec
ton regarding the lack of adequate trans
portatiOn would be made the subject of a
thorough and careful investigation and
that If the requests for additional facili-
itch were shown to be well founded. the
Commissioners would take steps to see
that the service was rendered.
AT the hearings given by the Commits
sioners the record shows that l publicly
called attention to what seemed to me an
inadequate service on the Brightwood line
and / suggested that II would be a great
public convenience If the railroad COM
pany would run through cars from Bright
wood To 9th street and Pennsylvania aV-
enue. exactly as the Chevy. Chase cars
are run TO the Treasury. There is, how
TONERS to compel any railroad to observe
this or any other schedule, and there
would have been no such authority, even
IL the proposed amendment had been
adopted. except, as suggested by the Com.
missioners, with a penalty clause.

A blind newsman stood in the early
evening on the curb at Forty-secOnd
street and Third avenue. The papers
he sought were at a depot on the Op-
poSte side Of the avenue. He stood
silent Presently young man slipped
out OF an 'le group near by, took the
blind man by the arm, plloted him
across the car tracks. left him and
passed on. Neither said word.
Having obtained his papers, the blind
man turned again to the curb, standing
patiently. A woman, bareheaded and
evidently 4 tenement dweller near by,
walked up the avenue, paused, stepped
aside, took the newsman by the arm,
cy".,&rted him back across the avenue
and resumed her errand. Neither spoke.

OATS FOR HORSES.
Comparative Value Of Heavy and
Light Grain.

Comparative Value Of Heavy and
Light Grain.
F. W. Taylor OF the New Hampshire
experiment station has been investigat-
Ing the comparative value Of light aud
heavy oats for draft animals. Three
pairs of work horses Of Percheron
blood were used in the test, one In
each lot being fed heavy oats for thir-
ty days and the others light oats. Dur
ing an additional period Of thirty days
the conditions were reversed. In eV-
cry case sixteen pounds of the oats
that Is five pounds in the morning. Eve
pounds at noon and six pounds at night
were fed with mixed hay Of average
quality ad libitum. All the horses
were used for farm work, requiring
average exertion and endurance. As
shown by weighings taken twice a
week, one horse lost on both light and
heavy oats, five gained on heavy oats
and four gained on light oats. The to-
tai gain or loss in any case was not
material. The practical results Of this
experiment seem to indicate that
pound for pound, the light oats have
nearly the same feeding value as the
heavy oats.
Although the two grades are practical
ly equal pound for pound. they are
not equal quart for quart. and In feed
ing by measure, as is usually done.
due allowance should be made for the
heavy oats and less quantity given.
Since oats are bought and sold by
weight instead Of measure. there seems
to be no gain made in buying the
heavy oats at much advanced price
over the light oats.

she was tempted to answer that all

said simply. They are mostly the

he kept on toward the basement. and

"Will you and Miss Walllng figure
the exact sum? am afraid that it is
worse than we thought"
Barker took his seat at the table Op-
posile Daisy, and the president re-
turned to the upper floor. AS they
worked Barker explained that he had
suspected that the former old cashier
had resigned in fear of discovery. 1t
was ut his own request that the count
was being made before he became re-
sponSible for the surplus.
1t won't hurt the bank" continued
Barker "Bryan's father will make
good the shortage. 1t is not as bad as
| had supposed. OF course you will
say nothing of this to any one in or
out of the bank?'
"Why did Mr.. Greenwell tell me to
tell you?" she asked curiousIy.
"Probably that the others might not
overhear your message" explained
Barker rs that why you warned
me?' he went on. Did you think
that perhaps had been meddling
with the reserve?"
Il didn't think that" denied Daisy,
with reddening cheeks, but it was all
50 strange and mysterious to me, and
Il didn't want to feel that perhaps
hadn't been-faithful."
Il meant faithful to yourself" ex-
planned Barker, remembering his
words. WAS it because"-
He did not complete his question.
There was no need. Eyes answered
eyes. But some days later. when the
gray haired president suggested that
married man was preferred by the
directors as cashier, Barker agreed
with him.
ITS all arranged" he declared. II
am going to marry Miss Walling, the
young lady who counted the reserve"
Greenwell nodded approvingly.
She will make an excellent Wife"
he declared oracularly. You have
made an excellent choice. George"
And Barker agreed with him.

STABLE MANURE.

How to Handle It With Least Loss.
The Servicsable Spread0r.
By w T. L. TALIAFERRo Maryland.
In order to reduce the loss In manure
to a minimum and also to economic
in handling 1t. the general aim and
practice should be to haul it directly
from the stable to the field and spread
it at once. On the average farm the
following Of this practice all through
the year would result in less loss than
any method that could be pursued.
The use of rotted manure rather
than fresh manure Is desirable In con-
nection with many market garden or
vegetable crops, as 1t gives quicker
results and with root crops will give
a smoother and nicer product.
Manure should be spread as soon as
it is hauled to the field. The practice
