Have Scales Mt Home.

The weights and measures law
has gone into effect. After this, II
you buy anything, expecting to get SO
much, you are entitled to get it or the
manufacturer or producer can be fined
for the short weights. II the weight
is below what the package says, the
only way it can be legally sold is for
the dealer to tell you the weight.
This will hit all short-weight packages
and commercial weights" OF every
nature.
Everyone should have scales at
home. The man who handles much
grain or stock should have five-ton
scales. He is quite apt to secure bet
ter weights from some stock buyers II
they know he has scales at home. To
know what the stock that is being full
fed is doing Is also one of the great ad.
vantages of having scales on the farm
Small scales in the house will also
help to enforce the law of weights and
measures. Flour, meal, sugar, in fact
everything, must weigh OUT or the
one responsible for the short weight
is liable to fine. See that the law
Is enforced, now we have it.-Farm.

His tone gradually softened he took
on an air of patient magnanimity. Sny-
der broke in with sneer.
look here, Jim, don't try the goody-
goody business on me. You think you re
mighty smooth and you're mighty good
and you're gettin' on pretty fast. Your
picture in the papers is mighty handsome,
and you looked real swell In them fine
clothes up at the bankers talkin' to that
girl"
That's another thing said Wheaton,
still standing. II ought to refuse to do
anything for you after that Getting

luck that you weren't turned over to the

hard jar"
You ought to be Jared. You're no
good. You haven't even been successful
in your own particular line OF business
There amt nothing against me any
where" said Snyder, doggedly.
"I have different information" said
Wheaton, blandly. "There was the mat
ter of that postoffice robbery in Michi-
gan; attempted bank robbery in Wiscon-
sin, and a few little things Of that sort
scattered through the country, that make
a pretty ugly list. But they say you're
not very strong in the profession" He
smiled an unpleasant smile.
Snyder drew his feet from the table
and jumped up with an oath.

Wheaton made haste to follow up his ad-
vantage.

Snyder.

had followed him. They were the same

That's too much money to trust you
with"
THE more money the farther l can
get,o pleaded Snyder.
"I'll be here at tomorrow night
said Wheaton, land you stay here until
| come"
Two or three men who were sitting in
the office below eyed Wheaton curiously
as he went out. The thought that they
might recognize him from his portraits
in the papers pleased him.
He retraced his steps from the hotel
and boarded a car filled with people of
the laboring class who were returning
from an outing in the suburbs. They
were making merry in a strange tongue
and their boisterous mirth was an ofense
to him. He was gentleman of position
returning from an errand of philan-
| thropy, and he remained on the plat
| form, where the atmosphere was pureI
| than that within, which was conta minat-
ed by the rough young Swedes and their
yellow-haired sweethearts. When he
reached The Bachelors the doing China
man told him that all the others wer,
out. He went to his room and spent the
rest of the evening reading a novel which
! he had heard Evelyn Porter mention the
night that he had dined at her house.
The next day he bought ticket to Spo-
| kane, and drew one hundred dollars from
| his account in the bank. He went al
! 8 o'clock to the Occidental to keep his
appointment, and found Snyder patiently
waiting for him in the hotel Office, hold
ing a shabby valise between his knees.
At the railway station Wheaton step
ped inside the door and pulled two sealed
envelopes from his pocket. Here's your
ticket, and here's your money. The tick
cts good through to Spokane; and that's
your train, the first one in the shed. Now
| want you TO understand that this is the
last time, Billy; you've got to work and
make your own living. | can't do any
thing more for you; and what's more, /
won't"
"All right, jim" said Snyder. "You
won't ever lose anything by helping me
along. You're in big luck and it amt
going to hurt you to give me a little
boost now and then"
"This is the last time" said Wheaton.
firmly, angry at Snyder's hint for fur
ther assistance.
Wheaton stood inside the station and
watched the man cross the electric-light-
ed platform, show his ticket at the gate,
and walk to the train. He still waited,
watching the car which the man boarded,

When corn Is planted after the first
week in June the land needs more at
tention than when prepared earlier.
If plowed early the weeds will have
made an appearance. which Is an ad-
vantage. as they can be destroyed be-
fore the corn is planted; but the late
corn will be more easily injured by
drought than that which has made an
earlier start. The crop should be cul-
tivated after every rain SO as to pre-
vent loss of moisture. Another point
is to thin out the plants II they are
too thick. 1t would be difficult to in
duce many farmers to thin out" their
corn, as they would claim that the

avoiding the overworking of the but

clear water should be left to dissolve

done there will be but little danger Of
streakiness in the butter, but to get

Diseases Of Mexican sheen

For several years past the sheepmen
of the Southwest have suffered serious
losses from a disease known among
the Mexican herders as "pingue."
"Pingue" is popularity supposed to be
caused by eating either the leaves or
roots Of a plant which has in the
last few years been quite prominent
in the public eye as the rubber plant
or rubber weed. Hot water and salt
is an efficacious remedy.

up to the average. 1t is, therefore,
better to remove every stalk that
shows lack of growth and If the hero
ic remedy OF reducing the stalks to
two in a hill could be tried on plot
by way of experiment, the result
would be satisfactory, as we'll as con-
vince farmers that there is nothing
gained by endeavoring to grow three
or four plants in space which only
two should occupy. If rainfall con-
tinues to be abundant, as has been the
case for June. there will be no neces-
sity for reducing the number of
plants.

Sore Shoulders on Horses.

The hide and flesh of young horse
are more tender than those of an old
work horse. If the shoulders of the
young horse are allowed to become
sore during the first seasons work it
is likely that they will be sore or ten
der all the rest of the animals life.
If the young horse passes through the
first season without injury the shoul-
ders become tougbened and with good
treatment are likely never to become
sore.-Field and Farm.

LANCASTER, Pa, Nov. 80, 1909.
The trading in 1908 goods in the local
market the past week was not brisk,
and was mostly confined to the sales of
small lots. Among the large sales re-
ported were Samuel Beamesderfer,
Petersburg, 270 cases; John McAllister,
Lancaster, 400 cases; John Grosh, Ore
gon, 500 cases; M. III. Ranck, Lancas-
ter, 210 cases; John Mclaughlin, 755
cases to Allen R. Cressman, Philadel-
phia. The local packers could get rid
of their holdings in short order if they
would cut prices, but they understand
quite as we'll as do the foreign packers
that the 1908 is good stuff to have in
stock, that it will increase in volume,
and be noney-maker. 1t has been
selling lately mostly at 16 to 18 cents
and the holders believe the price will
go to 20 cents before January /.
So little 1906 and 1907 goods are in
stock, ard so little is selling, that they
cut no figure in the market. Some
stripping of the 1909 tobacco has been
done lately, but not much, as the con-
ditions are not favorable Rumors are
heard of few sales, but they do not
appear to have any foundation, as
names and prices are missing. New
