When Charles l NorcroNH, now n well-known Wimhlngton correspondent. begun IiIh newspaper career he was sent to "cover" one of the courts. Ill business wus to look at the docket and find the facts about any case that seem ed to him to warrant lilm In writing ubout.

She kept It In a cage In her parlor, and when, tired with tin- work of the day, the martingale began to pour forth those strains of melody for which our Pittsburg martingales are famous, she found great pleasure. Such miscreants as this man Hums should not be allowed at large, especially when they descend so low as to steal harm less and melodious martingales." Sat urday Evening Post. Ilnd, Uad KIMrl The scientists make out a good ense ogainst the house cat, who, with all her charming and lovable qualities, Is shown to be an agent of disease, and n wholesale destroyer of bird life. I)r, Caroline A. Osborne, who has been con ducting experiments at Clark Unlver fiitjr, has found that cats have diph theria, whooping cough, tuberculosis, eczema and ring-worm. Kven when cats do not actually contract these maladies they may carry the contagion about with them. As nimrods they are responsible for the death of about fifty birds a year, according to K.

The fresh cream puffs In the Italian baker's window looked Inviting, and the Interested housekeeper stepped In- f lde the shop to ask the price. "Fifteena centa a doz," replied the smiling proprietor, wiping bis hands on his apron, preparatory l. wrapping the cakes. "Why," exclnfrned the lady, unable to conceal her astonishment, "that's very cheap for cream puffs ! I usually have to pay thirty. I don't see how you can make them nt that price."

Why, there is one like my husband had on his last winter's suit." "Indeed," said the minister's wife, with a slight smile.

Not a Single Stone Has Formed Since Using Doan's Kidney Pills. J. D. Daughtrey, music publisher, of Suffolk, Va., says: "During two or three years that I had kidney trouble I passed about 2 pounds of gravel and candy sediment in the urine. I haven't passed a stone since using Doan's Kidney Fills, however, and that was three years ago. I used to suffer the most acute agony during a gravel attack, and had the other us ual symptoms of kidney trouble lassi tude, headaches, pain in the back, uri nary disorders, rheumatic pain, etc. I have a box containing 14 gravel stones that I passed, but that is not one-fourth of the whole number. I consider Doan's Kidney Fills a fine kidney tonic." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. FoBter-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. OpMmI While Hark. Hiilletin No. 01 of the Department of Agriculture suys of the Crested White duck : The Crested White duck is what may be called an oniajnental duck, much the same as Polish chickens. They are not bred to any great extent in this country, and they are very seldom seen In the Hliowrooms. They have no es pecial value to the fanner, s better and more easily bred birds are to be found in the I'ekln and Aylesbury. These ducks have a medium-sized head; medium-sized bill, a large; well hu In need crest upon the crown of the head ; a rather long neck ; a medium length back ; breast, round ami full ; body, round and of medium length ; inedlum-lengtili wings that smoothly fold; hard, stiff tall feathers, with well-curled feathers In the tall of drake; and short and stout thighs and slinfiks. Their eyes are large and bright and of a deep leaden blue or gray color. The shanks, toes and webs are of u light orange color. CltKHTKI) WHITE IHX'K. The standard weight of the itdiilt drake Is seven pounds; adult duck, six pounds; young drake, six pounds, and young duck, live pounds. A Nplendld Wheat Crop. The annual crop and business report of the Commercial National Hank of Chicago, covering the Mississippi Vol ley, and a few of the more Important States of the Pacific coast, says, In part: "The wheat crop of 1000 will be among the largest and best ever pro duced. The yield not only will be great, but the weight and quality will be far beyond the ordinary. In these respects it may be considered nearly perfect. The period of uncertainty is closing rapidly and the crop may now be called practically out of , danger. J he yield of soft winter wheat is large quality the finest and movement free Inasmuch as this movement has begun early and all grains are now nearly or quite on an export basis (with the ten elency of prices downward), a large ex port business may be expected." Mnrkrlliiu; I'nrin Produce. A small fanner who has made a suc cess of marketing his produce gives sound and ingenious advice In a recent magazine. His preliminary work sug gests Hannah Olasse's famous preface to her Instructions for cooking hare: First find a lady customer," is his ad vice. To her sell nothing but the choicest of fruit and produce. It will not be long before she will acquaint her friends, and they In turn will pass along the word to others. It pays to sell nothing but the best; the inferior produce can be fed to stock, and In a short time the farmer will find he has a good market and a good price, with no leakage of profit to the middleman. Cncnmbera. - I raise five crops Instead of one on the same ground, and on the same vines with hardly any extra work. Plant in the usual way. AVhen a cucumber Is taken from the vine let It be cut with a knife, leaving about an elehth of nn Inch of the cucumber on the stem. Then slit the stem with a knife from its end to the vine twice, leaving a small por tion of the cucumber on each division. On each separate silt there will be a cucumber as large as the first. P,y this method you will only need one-fifth the ground that you would need If grow ing cucumbers In the old way. Walter Strosnider In Epltomlst. Soot and Smoke Kill Cattle. What was at first thought to have been a contagious disease among cows belonging to Allanson Hallcock, of Washlngtonvllle, near MIddleton, N. Y., has been discovered to be the result of too much smoke and soot. Eight cattle died and post-mortem examinations have shown large quantities of soot In their stomachs. Near the place where the cows were pastured a large steam shovel has 'been operating and clouds of smoke from the engine settled upon the wet grass upon which the animals fed. 1 Profit of Middleman. Consumers of fruits and vegetable In large cities are charged high prlees by the hucksters and grocers. In Chi cago peaches are selling retail for thirty-five or forty cents for a small basket containing about twenty to twenty-five peaches; other fruits and vegetables In proportion. It would be interesting to farmers to know Just how much of this is booked as profits. Fanners get no such prices; In fact they nre lucky If they get one4hlrd of the prices now prevailing In Chicago. Either some class of handlers Is invklng exorbitant profits or there Is nn unnecessary ex pense attached to the business of dis tribution. It costs money to handle produce. , It requires storage, horses and men, and none of these things are cheap In the city, but there is no good reason why the consumer should pay three hundred per cent profit on what the farmers sell. Farm, Field and Fireside. The Itohlier Cow. Two cows cost $40 each n year for keep. One of them yields 4.000 quarts of milk n year, that bring $.K0. The other yields 1.2(H) quarts, that bring $20. The latter loses about $14 and reduces the gain on the former from $4(1 to $32. Why do you keep that 1,200 quartcow? You would be better off with the one that clears $40, for you would have only half the Investment, half the work and half the feeding, and you would gain $14 each year. There would be no surplus butter on the 'market for years to come and prices would rule strong if all the cows were eliminated which are kept at a loss. Dairy fanners have not yet half waked up to an understanding of the great practical Importance of weed ing out fhe unprofitable cows from their herds. Many a man would make a fair profit, that now faces constant loss, if he would keep only such cows as pay a profit on their keep. Heavy llorxe. The weight of a horse is an Import ant lleni in estimating his value for dnlft purposes, for the fine-boned horse, with well-developed muscles, may do as much work as the heavy-boned one for a short time, and Is even better for road purpose. Hut In plowing, or other heavy, steady drawing, the light horse Is less useful. Then, In price, the weight Is an Important Item. If a good horse weighs, over 2,000 pounds he may possibly sell for as much as $1 per pound, and from 1,800 to 2,000 pounds, for less, the price rapidly declining, 1,200 to 1,500 pound horses selling at from 10 to 30 cents per pound, though It Is considerably more tban any other grade of stock on the farm will bring If the horses are well bred. Waler Needed by Corn. Much Interest has lately been manl fested In determining the exact amount of water required for the growth of plants.. This is Just as Important In the east as In the Irrigated region, for we often have droughts which made necessary the most careful cultivation to prevent plants from suffering. Pro fessor Clothier has found that after corn becomes two feet high each stalk uses up three pounds of water a day until the ears mature. This Is enulva lent to an Inch of rain a week. In regions where the average rainfall Is lower, and where n good, milky quality of sweet corn Is desired In the garden during August and September, It Is ob viously necessary to have the soil In the most perfect state of cultivation so as to retain as much moisture as Is needed.

Barley has as yet been little used for horses in the eastern part of the Unit ed States, probably because of Its gen eral high price. On the Pacific coast it is extensively used for breeding horses nt nil kinds of work. Where the horse's teeth nre good and the labor not severe, barley may be fed whole. Ground barley Is unpleasant to the horse while eating, and if, Instead of grinding, the grains are crushed to flattened disks between Iron rollers, they are more palatable and acceptable to the horse. ft 1 he Kind Ynii Iliivn A lu'-itra m. jm mm rrf 'ji a ms im ' at :m m. m mm m m -i ture of Clias.
