HOST WAS EAGER TO PLEASE
Fastidious Guest at Philadelphia Ho-
tel Who Preferred Axle Grease
to Butter Is Satisfied.

One of the smaller hotels in Market
street serves meals very cheaply.
They have table d'hote there for 80
cents, and, as might be imagined, the
viands are not the best. The proprie.
tor is jolly good fellow and is not
ed humorist This keeps him from be-
ing annoyed by the frequent kicks
made to him by his touchy patrons.
The other day a most fastidfous gen
tleman complained.
What do you call that?" he asked
of the hotel man.
Butter, sir; what else?" retorted
the boniface
why, I'd as soon eat axle grease as
that butter" snapped the patron.
John" called the hotel man to one
of the walters, run out to the kitchen
and get the gentleman some of that
axle grease we use on the elevator. -

ORCHARD AND FRUIT GARDEN
AFTER Trees Are Trimmed Trunks
Must Be Scraped-ShouId Be
Scrubbed on Mild Day.

Scraping the dead bark from the
fruit trees will add much to their APP
pearance and produce a healthy
growth the coming season. A steel
hoe ground sharp, with short han
die. Is an excellent scraper. Only
the rough old bark should be re.
moved. After the trees have been
scraped and the dead and broken
limbs sawed OF, scrub the trunk and
larger limbs with luke-warm soap
suds; mix one quart of hardwood
ashes In each bucket of soap suds.
The scraping and scrubbing of the
trees should be done in the middle Of
mild day. Spread thick dressing of
rotted manure around each fruiting
tree. The manure should be plowed
or forked under If much wood is
burnt in the coal stove, the fine ashes
should be spread around the trees, as
there Is considerable lime and potash
in the ashes, just what the trees need.
Have sharp saw and knife, make
a clean cut close to the limb, the
wound should be brushed over with
grating wax or shellac varnish to
prevent the rain from entering and
rGtting the wood. If a new orchard
is to be planted the ground should be
deeply plowed just as soon as the
ground Is in good condition for plow-
ing.

SOME ODD SKINS AND HIDES
Qv ser PeIts That Find Their way
Into American and Canadian
Markets.

Among the skins and hides which
find their way into the American and
Canadian markets are the boar skins,
which come from Mexico, and the hide
of the Mexican peccary, with fur or
brist]es of pepper and salt mixture
IN color, the beast being savage look
ing animal alive. Like deer skins,
boar hides are shipped dry. The boar
skin makes a heavier leather than
deer skin and Is used for glove trim
mings
Goat skins in large numbers are i'm
ported from the various Latin Amer
lean countries, including the West In
dies: but the great sources of the
worlds supply of goat skins are
China, Russia and the East Indies in
the order named. From those cOun-
tries there are imported annually mil
lions of goat skins which are made
into leather, 80 per cent. of which is
used In the manufacture of shoes.
Goat skins are shipped principally
dry.
From the countries to the south OF
the United States are brought annual
ly some thousands Of alligator hides,
mostly from Mexico and the United
States of Colombia, with some from
Ecuador. These alligators are shot
or are speared from boats. Alligator
hides are shipped wet sailed. If they
were once dried they never could be
softened sufficiently to be made into
leather
To be kept in perfect condition in
the hot countries the alligator must
be skinned and the hide sailed right
away. The supply is still sufficient,
but in the countries from which the
hides are now mainly brought alliga-
tors are diminishing in number. There
are too many hunters and too many
young alligators are taken
Formerly some alligator leather was
used for shoes and boots, but now 1t
is used chiefly in the manufacture of
handbags and suitcases.
Occasionally few manatee or sea
cow hides, which come from Mexico,
find their way north These hides are
shipped wet sailed The manatee hide
tans into very thick leather, cheap
er than walrus leather but used like it
for the making of buff1ng wheels for
polishing purposes.
From Mexico also come a few tiger
cub skins, which are tanned and made
up into rugs.

Result Of TESTING Corn.

Had the farmers of Nebraska, in the
spring of 1910. planted their fields with
INFESTED seed corn from the crop of
the year before, as they had been &C.
customed to do. It is figured that there
would have been a shortage of 25,O0O,.
600 bushels in the crop of that state
for this year. But, fortunately, the
commercial club of Omaha discovered
the poor terminating quality of the
1909 crop. Tests showed that only 81
cars out Of an average of 100 would
furnish seed which it would be Ger
tainly safe to plant The alarm spread
and vigorous measures were taken to
secure the planting OF only tested seed
in every part OF the state. AS re-
suit. instead Of a threatened deficiency
Of 25.000,0O0 bushels, the Nebraska
crop is estimated at 100000 more
than that of the year before. With such
showing what farmer will venture
hereafter, to plant INFESTED seed?

When Col. w. A. Toombs returned
recently from the old homestead near
Coiltown he brought back with him
his fathers squirrel rife, which has
been continuously in possession of the
family since 1916. 1t is handmade

generations ago.

rified several times it now carries 60

action type and it in as good condition
today as when it left the makers

of that kind known as double" or
