RAZOR IN HAND,
CLINGS TO TAXI
Irate Husband Unbidden Guest in
Machine Occupied by
His Wife.

New York July 12.-Charged by his
pretty young wife. Marion. with leap
ing on the running board of a taxica b
in which she was riding and threaten
ing her life with a razor. James Dudley
Sturrock. of l6l East Thirty-seventh
street. and connected with the English
cutlery firm of Sturrock Sons. was
held in $1,000 bail to-day for further
examination by Magistrate Herbert. in
the Yorkville Court.
A razor made by his family firm had
been found in his possession and this
resulted in an additional charge Of
carrying concealed weapons being made
against him.
Sturrock's arrest was made under
rather melodramatic circumstances. Po-
liceman johnson, of the East Thir-
teenth Street station. was standing on
the corner OF Lexington Avenue and
Thirty-seventh Street when the taxi
cab, containing Mrs. sturrock dashed
UP to the curb. Sturrock. wild-eyed
and only partially clothed, was cling
ing 10 the running board
Please arrest this man." cried Mrs
Sturrock. Historically. He wants to
kill me-"
She told the policeman that she had
been out TO dinner with friends OF the
family. and that upon her return home
in the taXicab her husband had rushed
out of the house and begun to abuse
her.
She said she had tried to get him to
go back into the house. saying that
she would stay with friends. But he
refused to leave her.
He jumped on the step of the cab
then" she continued. and said he was
going TO kill me and then commit sui
eide"
Sturrock denied his wifes charges
and the policeman tried to get both TO
return home. The wife refused. insist
ing that her husband be arrested.

They need not strain to throw curve.
The hobbies used out in the country
To hobbe mules with too much nerve.
Our milkmaids do not wear high heels
But they don't have that Broadway stru
That makes one think of a giraffe
Or fat duck waddling in rut
Our milkmaids are sweet, fair and rosy.
The beauty doctors they don't need.
The city girls must pad and paint,
Because they quickly go to seed.
Our milkmaids waste no time on fudge,
The one thing city girls can make,
But no one on the great big ball
Can beat them on pie, bread and cake
Our milkmaids do not hunt for beaux,
Like city girls for men a-gunning.
The town and country dudes fight duels
For mikmaids. they're SO awful stun
ming.
Our milkmaids do not marry counts,
Because they only wed real men.
Their husbands they don't have to buy,
Because the men are stuck on them.
Our milkmaids marry and raise boys
That high position do attain.
The town girls marry and parade
With bull pups fastened to a chain.

FEATHERS AND EcesHELLs.

FEATHERS AND EGGSHELLS.
Certain Pennsylvania fanciers have
become so excited because some editors
Judge poultry at the shows and at the
same time solicit advertisements that
they have jumped to the conclusion
that under such circumstances these
editors can't give exhibitors a square
deal and so they want the A. P. A. to
pass a law that no editor may Judge.
These fellows are getting the "Hal
Har everywhere. To come down to
brass tacks, we'd sooner any day trust
an editor with our chickens than a
preacher.
Little turkeys have more appetite
than capacity and most turkey feed
ers have more generous kindness than
sagacity. The result is whenever
poult runs at them and peeps they ill

Gravitation is one of natures enig-
mas. The great Newton himself did
not pretend to know what gravitatlon

what it was in and Of itself he never

VARIETY OF FEED TO MAKE
GOOD.

VARIETY OF FEED TO MAKE
GOOD.
Seems awful for men to work in a
fertilizer factory-to skin, carve and
cook dead horse-but their smeller gets
its edge knocked off. Same way with
the palate. When this watchdog Of the
stomach must taste the same food
every day the dog figuratively kiyis
and runs. The palate deadens on the
food, the appetite fails, and finally a
distaste develops, and the food becomes
disgusting.
That's why boarders knock at that
hateful hash and omnipresent prune.
Same with the hen. She has her
likes and dislikes. Like man, the way
to make her pony up Is through the
stomach. Her natural inclination is to
select just what her system needs. She
will balance her own ration for best
results if the variety is there to select
from. If she wants to make eggs,
mostly protein, and some bungler
throws down corn, more corn, all corn,
he will not feed her egg machine, but
will clog it with fat. She will become
hog fat, her stomach will rebel, and
she will die of Indigestion or apoplexy.
The practical feeder feeds for a rea-
son. He wants Biddy to enjoy her
food, to have snappy appetite. He
tries to feed so that her ration will not
be one sided, but serves such variety
that her food may be we'll balanced be-
tween protein and carbohydrates. He
feeds a mixture of grains, supplements
these with byproducts, meat foods and
greens. This increases palatability,
promotes hen health and produces the
maximum of fine eggs.

In selecting potatoes for seed pur-
poses it is not only best to get those
of desired type and size, but equally
important that the seed chosen shall
come of prolific stock-that is, from
seed that produced as many good
sized tubers as possible in the hill. The
only way such seed can be selected is
by hand digging, which gives time for
the inspection of each hill as 1t is
opened. The selection of seed potatoes
from the bin promiscuously has just
about as much to commend 1t as select
ing seed corn from the bin after the
crop Is husked
