A Boa Mot of W. 8. Gilbert.
/ The author dropped into the opera
bux of a parvenue friend, one evening
when "Tho Magic Flute" was on the
bills. After asking him who wrote tho
music, the woman said: "Mozart? Mo
zart? Never heard of him before. He's
immense!. Why isn't he here? Why
isn't he doing something else? Why
isn't hq composing?"
"Retyuse he's decomposing, my dear
lady,"-answered Gilbert.

CATTLE AND WASTE OF FODDER.
Professor (A C. Georgcson in writ- |
ing to t lie Prairie Farmer savs: "Tho j
immense proportions of tho live stock j
iutercst iu thi3 00110113% which on i
January 1, 1891, was valued at $2,170,-
000,000, and tho many millions of
peoplo who aro directly interested
therein, combine to make tho simple
question of how to feed and what to j
feed and the proper saving of food ono
of tho most important economic ques
tions in the whole realm of our indus
trial activity. This may appear like
a startling proposition, but its truth
will bo granted when wc take a full ;
view of the interests involved. It is, i
I think, acknowledged that au extra- '
ordinary waste of food takes place on j
American farms, especially in the
West. Let him who doubts it watch !
our corn Holds in winter, where two- ■
fifths of tho food raised still remains
to bo destroyed by tho elements; let !
him watch our burning straw stacks !
and our wasteful methods of feeding; i
tho waste of manure, tho waste by iu- 1
judicious use of foods, aud the conse- ,
quent failure to get tho best returns
iu meat aud milk. Where a sum like !
tho above is involved tho proper or
improper use of food may make tho
difference of hundreds of millions of i
dollars annually."
SIXTEEN SIIEEP ON AN ACRE.
An experiment is being conducted •
by Professor Shaw, at tho experiment
farm, says tho Northwestern Farmer, j
which certainly means a good deal, not j
only to tho Northwest, but to all the ,
United States. Ho lias undertaken to
pasture six sheep and ten lambs on au j
acre of laud. The experiment is sue- 1
ceediug beyond his expectations. Tho '
food is at UlO present time nearly two |
months ahead of the sheep. They are
doing splendidly on tho food," and
have kept in perfect health from tho •
first.
lli3 plan is to sow a succession of
foods, ho theio will always bo some
thing for the sheep on one or the other I
of the plots. The aero is divided into !
four plots, and the sheep aro pastured
on these in succession. The harrow is j
generally used on each plot after it |
has been pastured, and in some in
stances fresh seed is sown. Tho sea- .
son has, of course, been very favora
ble, but to offset that, iu part at least, ,
tho land is not so good as tho average j
prairie soil, and it has not been
manured for several years.
Professor Sliaw soys ho has not ex
hausted all tho resources in this line,
and 110 is hopeful that as a largo num
ber of sheep aud lambs cau bo kept
on an acre of well prepared land in a
dry year. Let it be borne iu mind that
tho sheep aro pastured—none of the
food is cut for them. A bulletin will
bo issued giving all tho particulars at
tho close of the pasturing season.
THE BROOD SOW.
From tho present until breeding
time brood sows should be allowed tho
pleasure of largo pasturage and com
fortable sleeping apartments. She I
should have no grain. Her nutritive
system should have rest. Sbo should j
bo reduced in fat if not already so re- !
duced. The reduction should progress 1
until she is lean and lank and able to .
stand a good chase. Such training a3
this rests up tho fat aud flesh forming
functions of tho body and gives the
blood opportunity to fully absorb till
effete matters in tho system, provided
proper sanitary relations are observed,
both ns to food, drink and breath. A
sow whoso ago or ill treatment will
prevent her going through such ti
training and coming out us fresh and
vigorous as a young gilt is not a tit
progenitor for the next crop of pigs, j
Tho fat of tho brood sow should in
creaso a little daily from the dato of
copulation until farrowing time, at
which time sho should be comfortably
fat. A clumsy condition at farrowing
time is dangerous. It also detracts
from tho vitality and development of
the pig. It does not pay either for
breeder of feeding stock to use lame,
logy or decrepit sows. Hereditary j
tendencies may be great or small, but ;
certaiu it is that, with the animal as
with tho plants, nothing but perfect
forms imbued with strongest vitality
can produce desirable and profitable
offspring. The boar should bo at the
lowest state of flesh now, and should
begin to fatten and so continue until
the breeding period begins.—Rural
Life.
MEASURING HAY IN THE STACK.
Wo are ofteu asked how to measure !
ha)', and while wo havo had some ex
perience, wc prefer to adopt that of !
others to our own. The Northwestern
Agriculturist on this subject very cor- 1
rectly says that measuring is a very j
crude, unsatisfactory method of esti- !
mating the weight of hay. There are !
times, however, when it is irnprae- |
ticublo to use the scales, and a close
approximation to tho true weight will
answer all purposes. Then, by taking
into consideration that tine, soft hay
will pack more closely than a coarser,
stiller quality, that wheu cut early iu
tho season it will become more solid
and still than late cut hay, that the
degree of dryness when stacked will
affect tho weight, that the compact
ness of tho lower part of tho sack or
load is affected by tho height, tho
time it has stood, or tho distance and
kind of road it has traveled over, it is
quite possiblo for a person of ordinary
experience and judgment to make an
estimate of the quantity iu a load or
mow. It is estimated that with the
abovo mentioned conditions at an
aveiage, timothy, in stacks of ten
feet high and upward, measures about
500 cubic feet to the ton, clear clover
between 000 and 700 cubic feet. To
find the cubic foot in a circular stack,
multiply the square of tho circumfer
ence by four ono-hundrodths (.04) of
tho height. Below is given a set of
rules lor computing tho number of
cubic yards in a tou of bay in tho
Held, stack or load, which can be
easily reduced to cubic feet by multi
plying the result in cubic yards
1. The number of tons of meadow
hay in the windows is tho quotent of
the produce of the length, breadth and
height, in yards divided by 25.
2. To line the number of tons of hay
in a mow, divide the product of the
length, height and width by 15, if the
stack bo well packed. If shallow and
the hay recently stacked, divide by
Id, and by any number from 15 to 18,
according to the density of the stack.
In squares or long stacks the number
of tons is the quotent of tho product
of tho leugth of tho base, tho width
ami half of tho length, in yards, di
vided by 15.
3. In loads tho number of tons of
hay is found by multiplying together
the length, width and height, in yards,
and dividing tho product by 20.

RAISING OF IIORSES.
Tho price of horses has of laio been
so reduced that farmers arc discour
aged iu horse raising. The low prices
now prevailing are due to a want of
demand, on account of tho electric
car system, which has been so gener
ally established throughout tho cities
and tome parts of tho country for
rapid transportation. This is, no
doubt, in some part tho causo of tho
weak demand for horses in the markets.
Theio is, however, another cause,
winch will bo found iu over produc
tion. A few years ago tho horse craze,
us it may bo called, prevailed among
farmers, and there was scarcely auy
ono who was not brooding either first
class road.-dti's or blooded drivers.
For these for a few years first-class
prices were obtainod, and tho demand
which was at tho time a fictitious one,
produced by a sort of boom in horse
flesh, produced an oversupply, and
now there aro too many horses for tho
market, which has for tho tino been
somewhat diminished by tho electric
car linos.
But good horses aro always desira
ble, and will in the near future bring
better prices than now. Farmers will
understand what they need, and for a
while, perhaps, tho supply will bo
short of the demand, but the prico
will again settle to a fair compensa
tion for tho trouble and risk iu rais
ing good horses. Good family horses
will always bo in demand in tho cities
•and in tho prosperous villages. Cars
may carry men to business, and wo
men to do their shopping, buttlierois
a demand, in hours not spout in busi
ness, for a carriage horse to supply a
need, felt by almost every well-to-do
family, that may liavo a restful airing
in tho country or in tho parks anil
suburbs of tho city. Farmers would
do well to turn their attention to rais
ing horse?, to supply this want. Horses
should bo raised of tho best blood,
not for tho turf, but for tho carriage,
and as much care should bo taken in
their training for this purpose, as is
necessary to produce good condi
tioned, quiet, trusty horses suited to
driving through all the bustle anl
noises of the city.
This will require tirno aud care iu
tho trainer, bat such horses will al
ways have a good sale, aud can bo
profitably raised.
Give us good family horses and tho
demand will oo sufficient to pay tho
producer a good profit.—Farm News.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
A few acies seeded to rye will fur
nish au early and late succulent bito
for the cows in milk.
See that your early pullets aro in
their winter quarters and fed nourish
ing food that they get at their winter's
work in good season.
Letter wait a mouth or more yet be
fore having tho cow served, so as to
bring tho calf later in tho season. It
pays better to have tho cows calf in
tho fall mouths, when milk and butter
| aro not so plentiful as iu May and
' June.
This is a good year for tho stock
feeder, for while the prico of grain is
low, the supply of feeding stock is not
groat enough to depress tho market
below fair prices. If you can securo
stock to fed, by all means koop your
grain and turn into meat.
Scouring in calvos usually indicates
indigestion aud is to lie prevented by
rational feeding and good care. It
may bo checked by a teaspoonful of
lime water iu each feed. Regular at
tendance and attention to all tho wants
of tho animal lio at tho foundation of
successful stock management.

Dog nnl Shark in a Death CSrlp
Farm Hand Hugged l>y a 15Ig
Snake—A Strange Case.
I | I yilE strangest encounter ever
I f seeu in Connecticut took
_ I placo a few days ago on tho
| G* shore near Bridgeport. It
was a fight to tho finish, and was so
eavago and tho antagonists wore so
evenly matched, says a Bridgeport let
ter to tho Now York Recorder, that
tho two spectators could not even
guess at tho outcomo until tho very
end.
Myron Bradley, of Oyster River,
! and his father-in-law, Deacon .Tared
| Scuddor, of Woodmont, had sailed
over to tho Mil lord Point shore in
their big sharpie, the Jeanette, to dig
a mess of long clams and try tho snap
per bluofish off tho Charles Island bar.
They bad with them Mr. Bradley's two
prize bulldogs, Mike and Dan.
Tho sharpie was beached and tho
two men were busy forkiug big, fat
clams out of tho sand, when, all at
once, they heard a wild commotion
down by tho Jcauuette. They couldn't
seo anything, for the trouble was hid
den by tho sharpie, but the spray was
flying and thero was an awful splash
ing. Running to the spot, thov saw a
big fish thrashing around iu not more
than a foot and a half of water and
shaking and crunching iu his jaws a
bloody "object.
"A shark! A shark!" yellod Mr.
Bradley. Aud so it was, an eight
footer, and the thiug in his mouth was
all that was left of Dan. They could
see, coming nearer, that the dog had
died gamo, for thero was a groat,
hanging slice of flesh torn from tho
shark's jaw. But it was not the dead
dog that was causing tho big pirate so
much agony, nor the rapidly falling
tide that had now cut off his retreat
by a long, low sandbar. It was Mike,
and both men uttered a cheering yell
as they saw the gritty dog hanging to
that tender spot under the shark's
throat, with his iron jaws tight sot and
every now and then, when ho was up
permost in the struggle for an instant,
emitting his fightiug growl, a deep,
thunder like rumble that meant no
good to his opponent.
Every now and again tho shark
would bury tho dog under tho water
aud apparently roll on him, aud that
not succeeding ho would riso half out
of tho water and shako his wounded
head furiously. It was evident that
the dogs had been swimming around
tho boat and had tempted tho nion
stor into shoal water, aud ho had prob
ably seizod Dan before his presence
was suspected. Miko had como to tho
rescue and was now fighting tho bat
tlo of bis life. Out of his element, and
With au antagonist that outweighed
him twelve to ouo, it seemed a desper
| ate attempt. Deacon Scuddor rau
j back and got tho digging-fork and,
| wading in, watched for a olianco to
deal tho shark a crippling blow with
out hurting Mike. So swiftly did they
; turn and shako and tumble, however,
j half concealed by discolored water aud
j spray, that ho couldn't seem to got a
chanco for a thrust.
Tho dog was becoming weakened by
his repeated immersions in tho f-alt
wator, and choked onco and let go his
grip. Tho shark rollod aud tried to
strike him with its powerful tail
flukes, but Miko was too nimble. Ho
dashed to ono side, and as tho fish
rose, quicker than thought ho had fas
tened in his old position with a deeper
hold than boforo. The water was rod
with tho shark's blood, which was
streaming from tho torn throat aud
tho fight had lastod fully twouty min
utes, when Deacon Scuddergot a good
opening and drove tho sharp-tined
fork into tho side of tho shark. It
was not a vital wound, but it weak
ened tho fish and ho was now strug
gling in loss than a foot of watty. Tho
two men throw r. rope over liiiu after
several attempts, and, taking a turn
around his tail, dragged him tail-first
further up tho sand, so far, in fact,
that ho lay almost entirely out of
water.
Hero tho maddened dog had things
his own way, and, tearing and biting
iuto tho stomach of his groat enemy,
ho shortly killed him. Shaking him
self,ho rau to tho water's edge, jumped
in and dragged ashoro tho floating,
mangled body of his brother and life
long playmate. Then ho lay down in
tho sand from exhaustion.
Hugged by a Blacksnake.
Arthur Wogg, a resident of Now
York, who engaged as a farm hand
last Juno on a farm betwoen Bingham
ton, N. Y. f and Susquehanna, Penn.,
met with an exciting adventnro which
will lay him up for some lime and
which nearly cost him his life. The
rocky hills of Northern Pennsylvania
abound iu snakes of all kinds, promi
ucut among them being the rattler
and blacksnake. When Wegg ap
peared tho farm boys began their
sport by filling him up with snake
stories.
Some of tho reptilian anecdotes told
by them would havo scut a blush to
the chocks of Ananias, but the country
youths kept their faces straight and
their victim for a timo accepted tho
talcs as gospel truth. As time went
on and tho largest reptile that met
Wegg 'a eye was a grass snake, ho came
to doubt the veracity of his inform
ants, and when they told him of a
black chaser which had boon scon in
tho fields ho laughed and said it had
probably crawled out of tho bungholo
of the molasses barrel at tho corner
grocery.
Uecently tho mou wero at work in ft
fiuld when one of them dropped his
scythe and started on ft gallop toward
the fence shouting "chaser, black
chaser." Tho other laborers with the
exception of Wegg understood the cry
nod scattered iu all directions. The
black chaser is a species of blacksnake
that is very pugnacious and will chaso
its victim with incredible rapidity,
and, when within reaching distance,
strike and coil itsolf about the arms,
legs or body with crushing force.
Wegg had been warned of tho ex
istence of this species of reptilo in this
section, but set tho story down as a
fable, and when his companions
shouted "'black chaser" and ran, ho
smiled to himself and said: "This is
a trap to fool me, and I will turn tho
tables on them." As ouo of the men
dashed past Wegg saw a black streak
coming through tho grass toward him
at a rapid rate, and beforo ho had
time to realize tho situation, tho rep
tilo was coiled about his legs and
winding itself around his body.
Screaming for aid, ho fruitlessly
struggled to free himself from the
ever-tightening folds.
Gradually tho breath was being
squeezed out of his body. His shouts
for aid seemed to him to como from
some one at a distance, while a horrid
odor that emanated from tho snake
was choking him. At last, with a dull
roaring iu his cars and millions of
lights dancing beforo his eyes, ho fell
to the ground.
Two of his companions who saw his
dilemma came to tho rescue with a
scythe au l sickle. Tho folds of tho
serpent were rapidly cut from tho
body of the unconscious man and ho
was carried to the farm-house, where
it was fouud the boaos of his left leg
were badly crushed and two ribs frac
tured. The lower portion of tho
body was swollen to twice the natural
size and turne I black aud blue.
Around tho thighs and waist were
huge ridges resembling tho welts of a
mammoth whip. Considerable nausea
and vomttiug followed his return to
consciousness, aud tho physiciaus
stated that had Wegg remained auoth
or moment iu tha folds of the snake
ho would have inevitably bcon crushed
to death.
The reptilo was tho largest of tho
kind over seen in this section. When
its decimated folds were joiue.l it was
found to measure six toot four iuohea.
A Strange Case Recalled.
In the paper of last Saturday, says
the Cincinnati Enquirer, appeared an
account of a strange accident, in which
a man was killed by tho discharge of
a gun while lying asleep on a lounge
in his room, tho weapon being dis
charged by reflected rays of the sun
falling upon the cartridge chamber ol
tho firearm.
Since tho publication of tho story a
correspondent from York, Penn.,
writes concerning tho accident, and
refers to a similar case, in which,
through tho efforts of a clever Cin
cinnati lawyer named C. C. Wallis,
the person accused of murder and sen
tenced to bo hanged was sot at liberty,
tho circumstantial evidence on which
ho was convicted being entirely ex
ploded by a witnessed demonstration
as to how the accident really occurred.
The York correspondent referred to
volume 13 of tho Criminal Law Maga
zine, page 007,0n which a full account
of tho casD appears. Tho caso was
that of the State of Tennessee against
Avery, tried in Ilcury County, that
State, and is one of the most remark
able iu the history of criminal juris
prudence.
In .Tunc, 1897, Charles Ensley, the
cousin of a man of the name of Avery,
was killed iu his room while lying ou
a lounge, about 3 o'clock in the after
noon. Tho weapon which caused
death was a small rifle, sending a
thirty-two-caliber ball through Ens
ley's brain. No one was iu the house
at tho time but Ensley. An empty
rifle was found lying oil a rack on a
wall of the room in which tho killing
occurred, aud tho bullet iittod the
tube.
Avery was arrested for tho crime, as
he was tho only living close rolative
to Ensley, au l by his death profited
to tho amount of about SIOO,OOO.
Avery was tried, pleaded not guilty,
but was convicted of murder iu the
first degreo and sentence I to be hanged,
lie appealed to the Suprome Court,
and engaged Mr. Wallis to defend
him. Tho Supreme Court romande 1
tho case back to tho Circuit Court ou
technical errors. Two mistrials were
brought about, an I thou caino the
strangest part of tho story. Tho brill
iant Wallis struck the keynote to the
mystery. In August, 1801, ho had
tho rifle loaded and hung oil the wall.
A white sheet, with tho form of a man
marked on it, was placed in exactly
the position occupied by Avery whou
lying asleep, and a heavy cut glass
pitcher of water like the one found in
the room was placod ou tho shelf above.
Tho temperature was ninety degrees
iu the shade, ouo of tho hottest days
of tho year.
Tho pitcher acted as a sun glass and
tho hot rays of the suu shining through
tho water were refracted directly on
tho cartridge chamber of tho rifle.
Eight witnesses wore in tho room,
aud a lew minutes after 3 o'clock a
puff aud a report occurred aud tho
bull struck tho outlined form back of
tho ear, iu tho exact location whore
Ensley was shot, and tho theory ol
circumstantial evidence wont to pieces.
Tho incident being witnessed and
sworn to, readily explained itself to
tho jury.
Treasures Dug Up in Greece.
The excavations which are carrying
out near Athens by tho Greek Arcli
luological Society have recently
yielded some exceedingly important
results. In ono well preserved tomb
tho workmen recently came across tho
skeleton of a woman with a groat as
sortment of jewelry, together with
Egyptian scarab mi and a porcelain
statue of tho goddess Isis. Tho relics,
it is believed, provo that many ot the
important religious rites of tho Greek
liavo been borrowed from tho Egyp
tians, which has for years been a dis
puted point.

Mrs. J. P. Grovj, a marriel In ly with

Baltimore. She would easily pass for ti
woman of half hor age, :in>l owes hor present
stnlo of good health and probably hor 11 fo to
tho usoof Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. A Herald
reporter called at tho house a fow days ago
and was informed thai Mrs. Grovo had gono
out for a walk and wotildsoon bo back. Tho
seribo was ushorod into tho parlor to await
hor arrival. Tho room gave evory ovidcnco
of rennomout and tho caro and alloulion of
a good housowifo. Choice books lay around
giving proof of tho intelligence of tins furaiiy, i
and tho walls wore decorated with mauy rare
arlieios or virtu and bric-a-brac from South
America, Japan, and other countries. When
Mrs. drove was announced tho reporter was
astonished to llnd her such a youug looking
and healthy woman. She is well educated,and
is a fluent talker an I interesting to listen to.
Bhe, however, declined at first to speak of
tho results sho had experienced from taking
tho Pink Pills as, sho said, she did not like
to have hor name appear in print in any way.
"However," she added, after some little hesi
tation, "tho pills did me so much good that
I might bo doing wrong by not letting somo
other sufferer know what they did for me."
Than she said, "Dr. Williams' Piuk Pills are
certainly all tho proprietors represent them
to be. I never had such relief from any
other medicine. A short time ago I had an
attack of peritonitis which left mo in such a
prostrated and nervous condition that I dc-
Bjmtrod of recovery. I could neither sleep, I
eat or read with niiy degree of peace or sat- j
isiaetion, and life was absolutely a burden, j
Having heard that others had been cured of
I lie same troubles by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, J
I secured several boxes and began to take ,
them. As if by magic I at onco began to j
improve. Thev cured me, and now I have
no symptoms or nervousness or of the diseaso !
which so prostrated me. Now that's enough." j
said Mrs. Grove, in reply to another ques- ;
tiou. Bhe walked to the door as lightly as a •
youug girl and, with a pleasant goo I morn- j
lug to the reporter, disappeared within tho
portals of her happy home with a little j
grandchild clinging to her skirts.

•A new shoe for soldiers is being test
ed in Germany. It consists of a kind of
paste of linseed oil, varnish and Iron
tilings with which the soles of new
shoes are painted. It is said to keep
leather flexible and gives the shoe
greater resistance than the best nails.
Already, in many regiments, the usual
iron nails have been exchanged for
nails of aluminum
No set of men in Hi> world more aptly Il
lustrate a certain important point than

tho punishment they give aud have to take.
Whether victors or vanquished, they coma
i out of a contest bruised from head to foot.
That suoh men should be seen with all the
: blue spots cured seems marvelous, until we

In Olden Times
People overlooked the importance of pcrma
neutly beneficial effects and were satisfied
with transient action, but now that it is gener
ally known that Syrup of Figs will permanent
ly cure habitual constipation, well-informed
people will not buy other laxatives, which act
lor a time, but finally injure the system.
To Attract Custom.
An Ingenious device for attracting
custom was that of a fruiterer In a
I Midland town. Instead of the ordinary
| plate glass, a large number of rough
1 magnifying glasses formed the window.
' Seen through one of these panes an
I orange looked as large as a pumpkin,
j and cherries as large ns apples. A great
disadvantage attaching to this novelty
j was the fact that at the distance of a
i few yards from the window it was quite
I impossible to sec into the shop. Kv
| cry body knows that you must hold a
| magnifying glass close to the eyes to
! see anything through It. Nevertheless,
for some time, at all events, the enter
, prising proprietor did a rushing trade.
Spilled 120 Tons ol" Molten Glass.
i A costly accident occurred the other
morning at the Marion, Ind., fruit Jai
works. The bottom of a largo tank slid
! denly fell out, spilling and ruining a
mass of molten glass weigningj 120
tons. Since the accident four streams
j of water have been playing constantly
| upon the molten mass, thus preventing
i what might have been a disastrous fire.
Tho factory was compelled to shut
down two weeks*
