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."

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

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 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.

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

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.

In cultivating the plum and cherry
orchards remember that It must be
