1,100 Francs for King's Umbrella.
The king of the Belgians once left
his umbrella In a hansom when driv
ing In Brussels. 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!"

Profitable Sheep Ralslne.
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

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

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

Niagara Knlls, August 7. The vol
ume of water being diverted from the
historic Niagara Tails Is reaching such
proportions that the people of the State
are trying to pass laws which will pre
vent the possibility of 11 practlcul wip
ing out of this sublime natural spec
tn... Water sufficient to develop nearly
five hundred thousand horsepower
continuously, twenty-four hours per
day. for Industrial purposes. Is now be
ing taken from the river above the
Falls, and further developments re
quiring more water are contemplated.
Probably the largest user of the elec
tricity produced by the waters of the
mighty river Is the concern which by
the five or six thousand degree heat of
the electric furnue-e brings lime and
coke Into unwilling union, thereby pro
ducing what Is known as Calclnm Car
bide. Pry calcium carbide Is lifeless ns so
much broken rock, but In contact with
water it springs into activity and be
gets abundantly the gas Acetylene-.
Thr light resulting from the Ignition
of acetylene Is the nearest approach to
sunlight known.
These facts, though of comparatively
rpcent discovery, were soon seized by
men with nn eye to the commercial
possibilities nnd to-day calcium carbide
is being shipped everywhere and used
for dispelling darkness in buildings of
nil descriptions, rr;n the ordinary barn
of tho farmer to the country villa of
the wealthy, ns well as for lighting
the streets of a large number of towns.
Acetylene can be easily and cheaply
Installed, and the manufacture and sale
of acetylene generators has become n
business of recognized standing, has
assumed large proportions and Is stead
ily growing.

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.

had female trouble and would daily have faint

my monthly periods were very irregular and
