This was returned to his majesty a few hours afterward by the proud "cabby," who was offered for his honesty by King Leopold the sum of 100 francs. The astute Jehu, however, begged a great favor of the king. Could he have the umbrella Instead of the money? The favor was granted, and before many days had passed the cabman nad put up the umbrella for sale, and It was knocked down to some royal enthusiast for 1,100 francs. When King Leopold heard of this he exclaimed: "Well, I've heard of an umbrella being put up to keep off showers of rain; but this seems to have been put up to bring down showers of gold!"

In my experience In fpedlng both cattle and sheep I have found I could produce mutton much chenper than 1 could beef for the amount of food con snmed, notwithstanding the fact that high class lamb nnd mutton usually sell at a fully higher value than beef of the same grade. But allowing them to sell for the same price, pound for pound, we have still a linmlsomo bal ance in favor of the profitable sheep from the revenue received from the sale of the wool, which usually amounts to from $2 to $3 per head. In the average mutton breeds kept on the farm principally for butcher's Iambs; and considering the very limited amount of care they require theso are some of the facts we must credit to the profitable sheep. Weekly Witness. Making Rone and Mnsrle. Assuming that the fowls will have more or less range during the summer, It Is n good time to experiment some In grain feeding In ordet to determine which combination gives the best re sults. With the pullets who ore to lay the coming fall and winter the main thing Is to feed them so they will get bono nnd muscle and Just the right n mount of plumpness; this they cannot do wholly on grass and a little grain. Take u liberal ration of various grains and figure that the paRture Is furnish ing only green food nnd anlmnl food Id" the shape of Insects nnd feed the grain as one would If the fowls were In con finement. If they get too fat cut down the ration or change It gradually, all the time carefully noting results. By this plan of operation and carry ing it Into the fall the pullets ought to go Into winter quarters In prime condi tion, nnd you be In a position to know to a nicety Just what combination of grains will give the best results; hear in mind, however, that the supply of green food and of nnlmnl menl must be furnished In some form during the fall nnd winter in order to obtain re sults. It is unfair to expect results when we cut oil the green food which has done so much for (he birds during the summer. Indianapolis News. Fattening Swine With Corn. While this practice Is by no means to be 'commended, for the reason that It is not so profltnblporeconomlenl, mid often prepares the way for disease by getting the digestive organs In nn un healthy condition, yet by those who persist In this way of feeding, some suggestions ns to the uses anil abuses of corn as a feed for hogs may be acceptable. In the first place, It Is necessary to grow that variety of corn which con tains the largest per cent, of protein, the flesh or muscle making constituent which is essential for the proper de .velopment of the frame of any young animal. This corn iniij be obtained by hand selection, but the better way is to purchase the seed from a repu table, seed corn breeder. There is a general opinion prevailing that yellow corn Is of higher feeding value than the white varieties. If this is true, it Is because the yellow corn contains more protein and less starch than the white, ns a class. There Is undoubted ly a difference In varieties of either color, but in all varieties it is essential that the planting should he early enough for the corn to thoroughly mn ttire without Injury by frost. Orange Judd Farmer. To Make a Wool Box. Take three boards ten inches wide and thirty inches long; the two side boards are left whole, but the centre one Is sawed twice, mnklng three pieces, each ten inches mum re. The three, pieces of the centre board .are hinged nnd the side boards also hinged to the -middle board. The side boards must have springs let Into the wood to hold the end pieces nfter they are pressed In pluce. The lumber used should be Inch, dressed on both sides. Little slots should be cut In the boards as indicated to hold the wool twine; these should be cut wedge shaped, so as to draw the string In tight. Gather up the fleece In your arms and put It with ns little mussing as possible the white side towards the board, turn the edges over so none will bung over the edgo of board and then turn the sides of the board up and with the long hooks fasten them together. Now roll the edges of the fleece In a little and press the ends up lu place or until they pass the springs and they fly back In pluce so as to hold them. Now you have Jour fleece in a square form and are ready to bring the ends of the Firing together and tie each loose onii into a loop. Unhook the sides nnd the board will fly back flat and leave a very nice square bundle well tied. For coarse wool use u twelve luch box Instead of ten Inch. C. M. Goodspeed, lu The Epltomist. liaising Calves on Skim Milk. Almost any stock can be raised with out sweet milk better than calves. Hogs inny be successfully grown on suituble grains, ground und cooked, but not so with calves. They should have sweet milk or else their appetites fall and they do no good. It Is often (he ease where cows are kept for dairy purposes that the calves tire failures. If they can have the skim milk before It sours they will do well, for the oil which Is removed In the cream can bo replaced by adding a little oil meal or oil cake. It should be scalded before mixing with the milk to render the oil more soluble. Ono of the common est errors lu feeding cairn is that of thickening the skim milk with corn ineul or bran. Our experience has bean that calves, after partnkiug of a few meals of that bill of fare, lose their appetites and have ludl.'cutlou and kin- - t- dred disorders. Onts and bran are good for calves, but we have best suc cess in feeding It in a dry condition. They eat slowly at first, but as they grow larger nnd the system demands more nourishment they ent more. Eat ing such food In a dry state causes them to need more water, especially In warm weather, but they can soon he trained to drink water by offering them clean, pure water when thirsty before feeding the milk. Calves fed this way should do well if of good, well bred, henlthy stock.-Thomas W- Lloyd, in Tribune-Farmer. It Pays to Raise Fanltry. Iou I try Is and 1ms been, since the "feathered flock In the dooryard" be came known to the human family, a needful adjunct to the table; produc ing pggs and meat, according to the need of the day. In ahundnncp. After one decides to raise poultry, the next question arises, What breed shall I raise? Can I make scrub stock do! Yes, you can make scrub stock do, if you are so situated or located that you cannot get the pure bred stock--for home use the common fowl does quite well except it may not lay as many eggs as a pure hred hen would. There Is not quite so much meat on them, nnd when you wish to sell pggs Tor setting tf w only bring you the market price, whr. thoso of pure breeds of recog nizpff'Wck will bring twice the mar ket price when sold tiy the "setting." Now for mother hens I prefer such hens as the Buff Cochin or Dominique or Brahma. They cover the eggs more comfortably whe.n set and have nlso the advantage of being able to cover the chicks until they are feathered. And when they are us-d for meat on the table you have more of It than you could get from a Black Spanish or Brown Leghorn. But for laying quali ties, I bet on the Spanish and Leghorn bens every time. They like to forage, nnd if they are placed on a good range will pick up a large part of their food. True, they lay a smaller egg, but it brings as much In the mar ket ns the Cochin eggs, and they have the advantage of "keeping on," laying an egg every day, year in nnd out un less allowed to hatch and rnisp chick ens. I always keep some Cochins for mothers and use the Cochin eggs on the table. 1 keep these hens in a run by themselves with a few cocks. When they set I put Leghorn eggs un der them. The Leghorns or layers I keep in a large park or the orchard where they may range to suit them selves. I sell all the eggs the Leghorns or Spanish hens lay only reserving enough eggs to use for hatching pur poses I buy "settings" of eggs from poultry breeders to furnish cocks every year or two so that my flock will not become diseased or puny from lnbr-ed-ing.-Cecll Abe Todd, in The F ::o mist. Making Good Honey, The modern npinrlet must of neces sity use foundation if he wishes straight combs that can be emptied by extracting, or choice, fancy section honey comb honey, and nothing else will sell in the markets to-day. The broken, dark honey of our grand father's days cannot be sold at any price. Sugar syrup could be fed to the bees to put In boxes, but it would still be sugar syrup nnd taste like It, and not like honey, and so much of It would be used by the bees for Increased brood rearing that it would not be profit able even if it were honest. Extracted honey can be best raised by the farmer nnd comb by the spe cialist, since It requires more skill and experience to produce the latter, and when raising it the bees usually swarm In the farmer's busiest season, the haying time, and if not immediate ly hived go to the woods and the profits ure gone from that colony foR the sea son, for It is the first swarm that us ually gathers most of tho honey. Bees dislike very much to work In the small section boxes and sometimes sulk and refuse to do so until the best part of the hoi.ey flow Is over, and If more than one swarm Is allowed to Issue while working for comb honey, very little honey is obtained from any of them. With extracted honey it is very different. If plenty of empty combs are given to a colony in the be ginning of the season they seldom swarm, nnd with such n large working force, a much larger amount can be obtained. In the full, when the press of farm work Is over, the combs can be removed from the hive and placed lu the honey extractor and the honey thrown from them by centrifugal force, very much as cream Is separated, and tho frames of comb con then be stored away until auother season. We have combs that have been In use for twenty years hs good as ever for that purpose. Never destroy a good frame of worker comb, for they ore good property for the beekeeper to have. Store them In a cold, dry cellar mid the wnx-motli will not trouble them. They should be wired, however, or they break from the frames while extracting. Extracted honey sometimes docs not sell quite as readily as comb, and why? It Is the pure honey without the Indigestible wax. Physicians tell us that wax Is no more digestible In the human stom ach than leather or India rubber, nr.d I believe was uo more Intended by our Creator to bo eaten than the Bklns of fruits or the shells of nuts. I'ure extracted honey will alwoys granulate or cuudy when exposed to continued cold, and this Is the only positive proof of Its perfect purity. It should bo sold In that form, and then tho public could be sure of what tfcey were buying. But ns long as there is so much distrust of granulated honey It will have to be heated and senled like canned fruit to keep It liquid. Most honey producers put It up that way at the present time. To sum up, If you wish u pure article of honey, buy It In the granulated state or of some beekeeper who has a reputation to sus tain. -Mrs. II. 8. Stockman, in the Massachusetts Flotigbmuu.

THEY SHOOT WHERE YOU HOLD A VOMAjjPS ORDEAL DREADS DOCTOR'S QUESTIONS Thousands Write to Mra.Plnkham, Lynn, Maaa, and Receive Valuable Aelvlos) Absolutely Confidential and Free There can be no more terrible ordeal to a delicate, sensitive, refined woman than to be obliged to answer certain questions in regard to her private ilia, even when those questions are asked by her ' family physician, and many continue to suffer rather than submit to examinations which so many physi cians propose in order to intelligently treat the disease ; and this is the rea son why so many physicians fail to cure female disease. This is also the reason why thousands upon thousands of women are corre sponding with Mrs. Pink ham. at Lynn. Mass. To her they can confide every detail of their illness, and from, her great knowledge, obtained front years of experience in treating female Ills, Mrs. Pinkham can advise women more wisely thun the local physician.
