The dear little Register gets quite
peevish and exhibits a woeful lack of
that professional courtesy which is sup
posed to be normally rampant in the
breast of an editor. this week. In a
futile attempt to partly discredit THE
TINES Erie yard" story, and winds up
by saying that the news will have 10
come from a more reliable source be-
fore the story is generally credited.
AS it is matter OF common knowledge
that the Register is simply a week old
counterfeit of THE TIMES, the public
will not. of course, look to that dear
little paper for the aforesaid reliable
information. for If it does it will wait
until the Erie has paid its first install
ment or taxes on the new yards. etc
The Register, of course. has one ad-
vantage over THE TIMES, and that is
that THE TIMES has to be in at the
death. while the dear little aforesaid
paper can amble around to the coro-
ner's inquest and dish 1t up reliable
news after the corpse has been buried
This of course Is as the public desires
il nowadays, as is evidenced by the
generosity of the dear little Register

A Surprise For Horace Greeley.

In the early days of the sunragist movement Miss Susan E. Anthony had no more bitter opponent than Horace Greeley. It was for long time his custom to wind up all de bates with the conclusive remark. .sThe best women l know do not want to vote"
 When the New York constitution was being altered in 1867 Miss An thony laid a train for him. She wrote to Mrs. Greeley and persuaded the editors wife not only to sign peti- ton for woman's suffrage herself. but to circulate the paper and get 300 signatures among her acquaintances In the committee Mir Greeley. who was chairman. had listened to the de- bate and prepared to introduce to the convention an adverse report. He was just about to utter his usual settler when George William Curtis rose.
 MT. Chairman" said he. T hold in my hand a petition for suffrage signed by 300 women of Westchester. headed by Mrs. Horace Greeley"
 The chairnan's embarrassment could hardly be controlled. He had found at least one of the best women l know wanted 10 vote. but he re- venged himself later upon the leaders by scathing editorials.

A ComedX of Errors.

When Baron HauSSmanu went to Constantinople on visit to Abdul Aziz. who was then sultan. he had an interview with the grand vizier. who did not know word of French. At the beginning of the interview the old long Turkish pipes were brought in. and then Baron Haussmann began making very long speech in French. The grand vizier could not understand a word. but listened most attentively till he noticed that his pipe had gone out and clapped his hand for servant to come and relight it. Haussmann. thinking he was appIauding. rushed toward him with outstretehed hand. intending to shake hands and thank him. Tine grand yizier. seeing his hand puf forth. shook il warmly and said "Goodby'' under the impression il was Haussmann's intention to leave, hnd quilted the room

THE OLD AND THE NEW.

An interesting contest was pulled of near Dekalb. H.. early last month. The gathering was in the nature of an old settlers meeting, leading fea- ture of which was the use of old time tools in the harvesting of grain as compared with the modern reaper. Men of ninety years and over who swung cradles in their earlier years were there and cradled grain with them. Next self rake reaper was called into service, operated by gray boards who used them years ago; then a Marsh harvester. driven by the in ventor himself. made round or two. and. last, a modern reaper. with no one near 1t but the man driving the horses. concluded the interesting contest. Those who were privileged to witness these doings had placed before their eyes the march of seventy-five years of progress in agricultural methods. It was day they will remember.

A Phenomenon.

He was an odd character about town. He was known as Tommy and was tolerated because of his quaint ways. Tommy got pneumonia and had long siege in the hospital. where they treat ed him so well that he was much ayerse to the prospect of being dis charged as cured :"
 One day the doctor in charge was taking his temperature. and while Tommy had the thermometer in his mouth the doctor moved on and hap pened to turn his back. Tommy saw his chance. He pulled the thermome- ter out of his mouth and popped il into a cup of bot tea. replacing it in bis mouth at the first sign of the medleo Gurning.
 When that worthy examined the thermometer he jumped foot. looked at Tommy, then back to the thermom- eter and finally gasped:
 Well. my man. you're not dead. but. by love. you ought to be!

TWO HIRED MEN

We have in mind two hired men who n a way are fairly representative of two types to be found in most every neighhorhood in the country. Some Facts about them aDd the war they do 5heir work may be instructive. One gets S31.50 per month and board and lS known as the best hired man in the township. He can not only load a manure spreader and curry horses when it is necessary, but be has an intelligent idea of the planning and ex- eeution of the farm work and opera tons. In the spring he talks matters over with his employer as 10 the gen efal plans for the season. and this is about all the directions he gets. Quite naturally be is steady, absolutely re liable as well as honest. More than this, he makes his employers interest and welfare his own Carrying out this idea. he sees that the stock is carefully handled. that the machinery Is kept in good repair and put under cover when he is through using it
 All in all he's gem and. notwith- standing the wages he receives, is cheap at the price. The other man gets S22.5o and board, and he's an ex- pensive proposition at that figure. In charity to him it may be said that his heredity and environment were not the best. However. he has done nothing whatever to pick up and improve His employer has 10 give him directions at the beginning of most every half days work, and there are mighty few days when he does not get balled up In the scenery in one way or another. He is careless and rough with the horses and machinery. Is mighty careful not to work overtime and shows prae- tically no interest in his work or the welfare of his employer. He pounds and eusses the cows on occasion and is worse than drought and flies as a milk shrinker. For this reason the en- ployer does most of the milking Semi occasionally he gets jagged up on trips 10 town and is worse than nothing for day following these functions. He kicks on the wages paid him and doesn't seem to understand why he is not worth S10 a month more than he is getting But nearby farmers have him spotted and would not h,re him except in direct extremity The truth is, he's a punk proposition and blot on the agricultural landscape Read ITS may think these two hired men are extremes. They are, but in every farming community are hired men who approach the one type or the other There are never enough of the first class to supply the demand, while the cheap kind seldom stay four months with one man and are a drug on the market The boy who plans to hire out in later years would do well to read this hired man story twice

THE MARKETING OF PRODUCE.

It's too bad it is so. but producing crop is only little more than half of the job. The other important part is getting rid of it at a price that will pay expenses and give margin of profit. Many grower gives his crop vegetables or fruits-every attention
 it requires. only to be caught in the windup and skinned because of an ignorance of market conditions. The writer has found it advisable some three weeks before the time to market a given crop to write to several nearby market centers and get quotations from commission men for ones stuff The replies will indicate the hungry market and where it is likely the best prices can be obtained It is far bet ter for the novice who is not on to the tricks of the commission men to sell f. o. b. shipping station rather than to ship on consignment. The latter plan is followed very satisfactorily by some, but it should be adopted only by those who have had experience with market methods and who know beyond question that the firms to which they consign produce are re liable.

nINoRcEp AT SiXTY.

It is well nigh beyond comprehen- rion on any rational basis how two people who have lived together thirty pr forty years-reared children, shared ;ov and sorrow, stood together in ad- versity and prosperity-can bring themselves to the point of severing their marital bonds in divorce court. Life may have had little for such pair that was wholesome and bright, but separation would seem to offer less. At such an age it is too late to ,tart life over again. Far better Is 1t to arbitrate differences, which are in ninev-nine cases out of hundred traceable to seIfishness. make the best of what may in sense have been bad bargain and finish the journey to- gether.

 A young married couple attended such a session at the home of neigh bor out on the edge of Coliinwood the other night And when this young couple got home the female end of the sketch said:

Just as the cotton boil weeyfl was blessing in disguise to the cotton grower. in that it showed him the ben afits of 2 diversified agriculture. so the present droughty season, following on fbe heels of that of last year blds fair to be a godsend to the corn belt farmer. for in the absence of sum ,ient hay 1t has practically forced him to erect silos in order to realize maximum value from his corn crop. Hundreds of farmers are installlhg tbese fodder savers, and silo compa- nies are swamped with orders. one season will be enough to prove their worth. and hereafter they will be filied whether the season be wet or dry It is likely that in years to come many farmers will look back and thank the drought of 1911 for forcing them to erect silos.

Many husbandman who has level ed land for purposes of irrigation has been surprised at the fact that the growth of crops was slight on soil from which the surface had been scraped, he naturally supposing that such soil, being new, would also De rich and cause plant growth. The ueager growth noted is due not to lack of fertility in the soil so much as to an improper physical condition and lack of humus or decaying vegetable matter. Such soil should be fertillzed with barnyard manure and should be sown to some legume, such as yetch, SOY beans or peas, and this growth turned under Such treatment Will give the necessary humus and make the soil productive.

A suggestion made short time since in these notes is worth repetition-to the effect that any feeder who is so fixed that he can finish cattle, hogs or sheep for market during the next eight or nine months is sure to be well paid for his efforts. As a result of widespread drought many sections have been virtually depopulated of the kinds of stock mentioned. This has meant in the past a glutting of mar kets with underfed stuff in poor con dition, which has tended to demoralize prices on all grades Now, however, with most of this emergency stock sold, prices gre improving, and they give promise~ of reaching very satis- factory levels.
