Secretary of the Interior in the Con-
"gressional investigation of the Balm
ger-Pinchot row, was at one time
chairman of the State Democratic
Committee of Tennessee. During his
incumbency of this office, the report
came to him one election day that a
ballot box in a certain precinct was
being stuffed in an open and disgrace
full manner. Mr.. Vetrees Immediate
ly called in one of his lieutenants.
Dick" he said, "the ballot box in
blank precinct is being stuffed, &C
cording to reports I have just re-
ceived. We want no such scandal in
our party. Go and Investigate the
situation"
Dick, who was an ardent Democrat,
just as Vertrees was, remained away
for three hours. So long and mex
plainable was his absence that his su-
perior sent for him.

Trouble Mt Oil CITY.

a freight train ran over a skunk
above Oil City last week and the ca
boose Of the train vas left near the
Union Station in that town. The odor
of the dead skunk oon reached the
sleeping rooms of the hotels in the
vicinity OF the station and there was a
persistent call to the night porters
by guests who believed the gas pipes
had broken loose and there was dan.
ger of their being asphyxiated. Pas
sengers on the early morning express
trains which stopped to change en-
gines thought the noxious scent arose
from the oil refineries. The railroad
men whose duty calls them to the sta
ton were too busy keeping out of the
windward of the fragments Of the
dead animal that plastered the run
ming gear of the caboose to undeceive
the misguided travellers as to the real
nature of the odor and the fair repu-
tation of Oil City for purity of air and
agreeable surroundings was blasted
by the reports these travellers made Of
conditions that encountered then,
while they were en- route through the
city from Buffalo to Pittsburg.-

Farmers Cows.

On the average farm where 1t IS
not the intention to do extensive
dairy work, we find many cows that
are cross-bred animals. They have
oeen bred with the idea of producing
a dual purpose; or farmers COWS, as
they are sometimes called. These
cows are usually a cross between
some beef breed and a breed of dairy
qualities, and as a result we have
neither, but a mongrel whose good
qualities are hard to discover. We
have a cow that not only does not pro-
duce enough milk and butter to pay
for the care and feed she receives,
but produces a calf that does not de-
velop sufficiently to pay for the milk
and the feed it receives. There have
been COWS that produced a fair
amount of milk and butter, whose
calves were better than the average
dairy calf, but it must be understood
that these are exceptions and are hard
to find. There are other points, too,
that are against these cows doing
their best. The feed and care many
receive quite frequently consists only
of pasture in summer and corn, hay,
straw and cornstalks in winter. The
milking is done out of doors most of
the year and the COWS are only stabbed
during the severest weather.-Farm-
ers' Home Journal.

Candid Caddies.

Caddies, as every n knows, often
become expert golf players, and trot-
ting about the links at more than one
local club are youngsters who could
put it over the men whose clubs they
carry in a straight game. 1t often
happens, therefore, that the amateur
golfer happening to draw n of these
diminutive cracks as his attendant,
finds himself playing in a mysterious
ly depressing atmt- 0here. The con-
tempt that the caddy feels for the
plays of some Of the amateurs is
somtimes beyond his power to sup
press.
At the Philadelphia Country Club
they Nare telling a story of a swell
young beginner who appeared to
think the only qualification necessary
for golf was a lot of staggering
.lothes. He started over the links
with a young lady who had similar de-
iusions. They played awhile with one
Of the best caddy golfers as an at
Nndant.
DO you think" asked the young
man, turning to the caddy with 4
andy air, do you think We'll be able
20 get around the course before
dusk?"
IF you run, sir said the caddie,
grimly.-Philadelphta Times.

Poultry Notes.

There is much less worry attached
to duck raising than to other branches
of poultry keeping.-E. c., in the In
diana Farmer.
A pen of eighteen, fifteen duck and
three brakes, will furnish an abun-
dance of eggs. They will almost all
give a strong duckling when well
cared for and properly mated.
Another experiment showed that
the average duckling required twenty
five cents worth of feed to prepare
him for market. Those in question
were sold for fifty cents each; SO of
course there was good profit in them.
The Pekin seems to be the ~fayorite
market duck, and holds it's own we'll,
but the Indian Runner is the breed to
get where eggs are the main item.
They will make rapid gains, too, when
| we'll fed, for a duck is like a pig in
this respect; give them good feed and
they will soon show you good results.
The profit is quick, so one is able
to use the money for feeding later
matches of ducks or for chicks. The
earliest ducks bring the lest prices,
but there is a fair profit in the later
ones, where one will furnish the feed.
Unless you r situated where you
can procure reasonably good eggs
whenever you wish them, it is much
better to have a pen of breeders.
OF late years the demand for ducks
has increased greatly. That this in
crease will continue is a fact not to
be doubted, so it will be a wise in.
vestment to- procure several sittings
of duck eggs, selecting the best OF
the ducks for next seasons breeding
pen, and procuring good brakes in
January to mate. This, of course, il
conditions allow of your raising
ducks.
Where n is growing exclusively
for market, it seems there is more
profit in ducks than chicks; some ex
periments where both chicks and
ducklings were taken at the same age
and fed the same ration, show thai
the ducklings cost 10 cents a pound
This is for a pound gain; the chicks
show a pound gain, cost 4.S4 cents;
the ducklings were also ready fol
market, while the chicks were yet toe
small. 1t is almost unbelievable the
rapid gain that hearty ducklings will
make when fed right.

eggs, and are as good for table use
and cannot be told from hen eggs by
taste. Young are easily raised, and
only require water for drinking. They
require very little more feed than
other poultry and a great part of the
years will pick up much Of their iced
if given range, as they go over large
space in searching for food. But q
small feed of grain given at night will
bring them home ready to be shut up
till after laying time next morning.
They do we'll when kept in pens, and
a twenty-four inch fence will keep
them confined in pens. We have bred
them for even years and have notn-
ing but praise for them. Who would
not give them praise with their beau-
tiful fawn and white markings, erect
carriage and best of all their egg pro-
ducing qualities that is their pulling
power among poultry raisers? Farm
ers scarcely miss the amount OF FEED
given them. as they get most OF feed
while ranging yer pastures eating
grasshoppers, bugs and other insects
which injure crops, and they do not
require expensive houses to keep them
in; houses only require to be dry.
No roosts or other expensive arrange
rnents required, and do not have roup,
gapes, lice like other poultry. So
let's help up higher the best breed
of poultry that grows feathers.-G.
Frank Yates, in Farmers Home Jour-
nal.
