Marian was equal to the occasion. Tucked away in her capacious pigeon holes of her desk, she hud numerous pads of photographs of seven varieties In both sexes. If the letter was from a gushing young woman of the debutante sort, she sent back the photo of a Claudle boy, hair parted In the middle, side board collar and nifty tie, short sack coat and negligee shirt, peg-top trou sers a regular killer.

Maid Marian operated her affinity finding institution in Elgin, III. From a modest beginning the affinity stunt speedily grew to amazing proportions. The postal note records In the Elgin postolllce show that she was gathering in the shekels of the realm at the rate of $1,500 a month. Then the vigilant postoffiee Inspectors began to tamper with the game. She was Indicted and placed on trial In the United States Court at Chicago, before Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landls, and the seekers of soul mates flocked from the uttermost points of the compass to relate their tales of disappointment Environment.

A happy and humorous example 01 sarcasm as opart from repartee is af forded by the following anecdote. I quote it on the authority of a friend, who, I am afraid, was the villain oi the incident: A most imperturbable man was followed from Westmoreland street, Dublin, over the O'Connell bridge to the general post office by two little street arabs, who importuned him for the end of his cigar. 'Throw us the butt, sir I Ah, sir, throw us the butt!" cried the youths, but as the man did not betray the slightest conscious ness of their existence they gave him up at last In despair and disgust "Ar rah, let hlra alone," said one, with the most scorching scorn. "Shure, ifs a butt he's picked up himself." 1 once beard a bumptious little man who, acting as steward at athletic sports In Dublin, was very assertive in keeping back the crowd, thus ad dressed by an angry spectator": "If the consate was taken out of yez, ye'd be no bigger than a green gooseberry, and ye're as sour as wan already I" London Standard. rhtSnY I ?. of tne ne-nfth that do escape or rW-S: -O" i vlTB lt8 ravages at least ten to Improved Ditching: Plow. A recent Invention provides an Im proved ditching plow, 'especially adapt ed for digging tiling sewer ditches or draining ditches. The device Is of very simple construction, and capable of ef fective service In any character of soil. It is especially adapted to be drawn by a traction engine or capstan, says Scientific American. As shown in the engraving, It comprises a beam A, which extends forward and with an upward inclination from the cleaner B. The latter is triangular In shape," being provided with two diverging wings. The purpose of the cleaner Is to travel over the surface of the ground and remove the excavated material from the edges of the ditch. The team A Is hinged to the cleaner, so as to provide for a cer tain amount of vertical motion. Below the beam and forming an angle there with Is a blade C, provided with a cut ting edge at its lower end, which serves jri 'tit MM THE PLOW IN USE. to enterthe earth more or less deeply as the plow Is drawn forward, and carry the excavated material to the surface. At Its forward end this blade Is braced by means of a support D, which Is fastened to the beam A. At the forward end of the beam A is a clevis bar E, which Is secured at Its upper end to draft bar F, extending to the rear of the beam A. In this clevis bar are a series of apertures adapted to receive a link to which a pulley block Is connected. This block serves to re ceive the cable that Is passed to the windlass or drum of the traction en gine, for the purpose of drawing the car forward. Owing to the lightness of this plow, It may readily be loaded upon a truck and transported from olace to place. BUFF 0BMNGT0N.

Atlanta Constitution. , Some finished orators don't seem to kaow when to Quit Buff Orplna-ton Fowls. No varieties of fowls are better suit ed to the requirements of farmers and others than Barred and White Plym outh Rocks, White Wyandottes and Buff Orpingtons. Both Barred Plym outh Rocks and White Wyandottes are to be found In every locality, and eggs from them may be had at rea sonable cost. No variety seems to have a greater hold on the farming community than the Barred Plymouth Rock. The Or pingtons are comparatively newcomers, but have rapidly made their way to a first place in the utility class. Particu larly may this be said of the buff vari ety. Buff Orpingtons are one of many varieties and probably the most popular of the Orpington family. They are rap- Idly replacing many wornout strains and mongrels on our farms and have taken a front place In the utility poul try ranks as winter layers and market fowls. There is great demand for eggs and fowls of this breed. They have light-colored legs and white flesh. Chickens are hardy and grow rapidly. Eggs are of medium or larg er size, according to strain. White Orpingtons are a most promis ing variety and are likely to become popular on account of their merits as layers and table fowls. Exchange. Stndr of Blackhead Disease. The blackhead disease which has be come so destructive to turkeys In the past few years has been under Investi gation by the experiment station at Kingston, Rhode Island. A small para site, microscopic In size, Is the cause of the trouble. It lives In the tissues of the turkey and causes irritations that result in the death of the affected bird. The Rhode Island experiments showed that more than four-fifths of the young poults exposed In Infected yards die before they are six weeks old. The disease has been popularly supposed to be confined to birds over six weeks. It la notably a disease af fecting young turkeys, but one from which the older turkeys do not escape. ORPINGTON HEN. sur- twenty- five per cent may die throughout the year at almost any age. The eradication and prevention of the disease Is somewhat difficult but no reliance can be placed on any drug to cure a bird that Is already Infected. Since the blackhead disease Is less pre valent In dry situations It Is apparent that sandy, well-drained lands are bet ter for raising turkeys than the heav ier moist clay soils. The Cat Under the Ban. According to the report of the Stat Game Commission of Pennsylvania for 1907, song and Insectivorous birds In that state are Increasing and game birds becoming scarcer. Bear and deer are rapidly increasing. Bears are now protected In Pennsyl vanla by a legal close season during the spring and summer months. Dur ing the season of 1907 there were killed in the state 230 deer. Dr. Joseph Kalbfus, chief game pro tector of the state,, recommends the placing of a bounty on the scalps of the domestic cat as well as on those of tho wildcat "There Is no greater destroyer ot bird life," he declares, "than the house cat" The legislative appropriation for bounties on noxious animals and birds was insufficient to meet the demands upon It last year. A much larger ap propriatlon is called for, and the addi tion of the great horned owl and the goshawk to the outlawed class is re quested.. Starting; Seeds Indoors, Any one who Intends to start seed. Indoors needs a knowledge of various facts concerning each variety the length of time needed for germination, the time required for the plant to reach the blooming or fruitage stage, and whether it can be transplanted to the open ground with safety in early spring, or not until considerably later. For Instance, says Suburban Life, chrysanthemum seeds will germinate In from five to ten days, but the plants re quire a very long season of growth be fore flowering, and the person who gets ahead of Jack Frost must sow the seeds 'not later than March 1 and earlier, If possible. With varieties which germinate quickly, grow rapid ly and bloom early, the sowing should be delayed at least a month, to avoid the trouble of repeated transplantlngs, to prevent the seedling plants from getting "leggy" and weak. A Queer Pet. In a country town in northern Penn sylvania there lives a little old man who sells milk, carrying It from house to house morning and evening In a small handcart. There Is nothing strangg about that, but his companion on these dally trips Is the very strang est you ever heard of an old gray goose, who follows him about in the most dignified manner and stands watch over the cart, letting no one go near It In his master's absence. His name Is Major, and his master says he Is just as useful as a 'dog would be. Farm Fact and Fancies. Hogs need clean, pure water as much as the rest of the stock. See that they get it Perhaps you do not realize It, but the dearest animal on your farm is the cheap scrub. Which do you keep? The cow that makes more than she eats or the cow that eats more than she makes? It Is impossible to plant an orchard, or a windbreak In the winter time, but It Is possible and profitable to plan one or both. Fungous diseases and Insect pests can be kept from taking the profits of the orchard this" next season by faith ful, Judicious spraying. The five to eight quarts of milk a day cow will never return the farmer an adequate profit, unless the percent age of butter fat Is high. An argument In favor of the open bead in fruit trees Is that the fruit on such trees does not rot so badly as that on trees with detise heads. First the framework, then the trim mings. So with stock-raising. Feed to get the biggest kind of growth, then lay on the fat as fast as possible. The conditions under which the pigs are kept has as much to do with deter mining the quality of pork which wlU be produced as has the quality of the food. If there Is anything that makes "a disreputable outfit it Is an old flea-bitten horse hitched to a rattletrap of a buggy, when the occupant of the buggy uses for a robe a patched quilt In cultivating the plum and cherry orchards remember that It must be shallow enough to avoid breaking ths roots, for the broken roots send up shoots that suck the life of the tree.
