LIFE IN NEW YORK.
Any Gentleman Can Become a Million
aire if He Gives His Mind to It.
One night last week Henry J. Smith,
who inherited fifty million dollars, had a
real live duke in his box at the horse
show. It so happened that the very next
evening he was in the same box with his
butler. This shocked New York society,
and the following interview about it with
another rich man’s butler appears in the
New York World:
What? I sit in Mr. Vandermaster’s box
.at the ’orse show? Hoh, no. sir. Never,
i hope I know my place better, sir, and
what I owe to my social position.”
It was Hennery Bowker who spoke—
Hennery, the most envied man below
stairs; Hennery, who for ten long years
has deigned to be chief butler for J. Won
derly Vandermaster. His pale but bluo
ehinned countenance expressed horror
grave. modified, decorous horror—at the
question the reporter had, just put to him.
‘‘I am aware, sir,” Hennery continued,
"of what you w-ere thinking when you
arsked me that question. 1 know, I know,
sir, all about Mr. J. Henry Smith—’im
they call ‘Silent Smith’—'aving his head
butler In his box on Thursday evening.
It was a shock to me when I ran across
the item as I was looking over our papers
this morning. Don't think I’m presuming
to criticise Mr. Smith, sir, which he’s a
good, kind, generous gentleman, sir, I’m
sure, and was obeying, as you may say in
a wray of speaking, the dictates of a wery
generous ’eart.
“But I arsk you, 'ow could his butler so
far forget ’imself as to commit such a fow
par, as we say? You know as well as I do,
sir, I’m sure, that any gentlefnan can be
come a millionaire, if he gives up his mind
to it, so to speak. But ’oo could become
a butler, sir? 'Ave you ever thought of
that? You know butlers is like I’ve ’eard
about poets, as the saying is—they’re born
to do It.
“Why, I wras second man to my Bord
Ashburnham for five years before I con
sented to come out to America, considering
only the ’igh wages, which I assure you,
sir, it was a ’ard trile to leave ’ome and
prospects of being ’ead. butler some day.
And my father was head butler to Sir
Ponsonby Crawford, and ’is father before
’im, ’e was a butler. We’re born, as you
might say, to the ’igh dignity.
“And so when 1 see that Mr. Smith’s
head butler goes out of ’is clahss and
acksh’lly sits in Mr. Smith’s box it gives
me a shock.”
‘‘Well, what should Mr. Smith’s butler
have done?”
“Why, sir, since you arsk mo a fair
question I can only give you a fair an
swer. It Mr. Vandermaster was to offer
to me to go to the 'orse show, I’d say:
‘Yes, sir. Thank you kindly, sir, which it
is a most entertaining offer. And what box
were you purposing to give me, sir?'
“There, d’ye see. sir, Mr. Vandermaster
having all the feelings of a true gentle
man, would give me a ’ole box for the
show. And then I d arsk a few choice
friends to enjoy the evening with me. But
above all. I’d remember the golden rule—
never mix the elahsses.”
A Teacher’s Testimony.
Hinton, Ky., Nov. 2S.—(Special.)—
It has long been claimed that Diabetes
is incurable, but Mr. E. J. Thompson,
teacher in the Hinton school, has
pleasing evidence to the contrary. Mr.
Thompson had Diabetes. He took
Dodd’s Kidney Pills and is cured. In
a statement he makes regarding his
i cure Mr. Thompson says:
“I was troubled with my kidneys foi
more than two years and was treated
; by two of the best doctors in this part
• of the State. They claimed I had Dia
: betes and there was little to be done
: for me. Then I started to use Dodd's
Kidney Pills and what they did for me
; was wonderful. It Is entirely owing
j to Dodd’s Kidney Pills that I am now
enjoying good health.”
’ Many doctors still maintain that Dia
1 betes is incurable. But Diabetes is a
kidney disease and the kidney , disease
[ that Dodd's Kidney Pills will not cure
i has yet to be discovered.

KEEPING MILK COOL.
On many farms one of the chief
troubles Is keeping the milk cool and
out of the reach of rats and mice. This
Is readily done when one has an Ice
house or a milk room so arranged that
the vermin cannot get Into It. The ordi
nary milk room is, as a rule, over-warm
or else no plan has been found of keep
ing rats and mice out of It. Try the
1 following plan and see how nicely it
works, particularly in the cellar, which
is usually cool. From the beams sus
pend a number of long wires with one
end bent into a long hook and on these
hooks hang the pails of milk. If a lo
cation near the middle of the cellar is
chosen it will be difficult for the rats
or mice to get at the milk. Anything
else may be suspended from these
hooks in the same manner by first
placing it in a pail or tying it into a
package; any way in which the hook
i may be attached will answer. The il
lustration shows how simple this
plan is.
SELECTING SEED CORN.
While the writer believes that the
: selection of the seed corn should be all
through the growing season rather
than at the time of ripening, if this has
not been done it is an excellent plan to
save the seed corn at the time of husk
ing or soon after. If selected at husk
ing time much labor is saved later,
j Most of my neighbors have a basket
■ into which they throw selected ears
as they husk; these ears are placed
later by themselves in a portion of the
barn where it is warm and then leisure
days are spent in reselecting, going
over the pile and selecting the very
choicest ears. These are then removed
to another portion of the barn or some
place reserved for seed storage, where
it is dry but not sufficiently warm to
shrivel the kernels. If the corn is
damp after this second selection it
should be spread out on the floor and
well dried out before being placed in
the store room. This method of se
lecting and caring for the seed corn Is
I not hard and the result will be a splen
did lot of seed which will bring good
j crops.
FEEDING COWS LIBERALLY.
j It has been demonstrated time and
again that In order to make the dairy
cow pay she must have heavy feeds of
well balanced rations. Indeed, statis
tics show that a cow fed on about thir
teen pounds of digestible material daily
made a profit of 3 cents a day for her
owner, while one fed on nearly sixteen
pounds made a profit of nearly 25 cents
a day. While this may not seem rea
sonable it Is so when we consider that
each animal requires a certain amount
of food to enable it to exist in good
: health and the amount the cow eats
beyond this she converts into milk. If
the amount received beyond what is
necessary for her existence is small
the milk return will be small; if the
amount be liberal the milk return will
; be libepal and every ounce of this ad
ditional food counts heavily in the net
result. This is why it is found that
heavy feeders among cows are the
most profitable. It is worth while for
any dairyman to work out this prob
lem for himself along this line, bearing
in mind that the cow that is a heavy
eater is also a heavy drinker, and wa
ter, clean and fresh, with the chill re
moved in winter, should be supplied
liberally. If handled In the manner
suggested together with a clean, com
fortable stable, it will be surprising
what results will be obtained. It may
pay to reduce the herd in order to do
I this liberal feeding at not too much
, sacrifice. At any rate it is worth con
| sideratlon.
HIGH CORN, BETTER HOGS.
Whenever the crop of corn is high
enough so that the grower is tempted
to turn a part of his crop intd money
then he is forced to feed his hogs
something besides corn, with the result
that they are the better for it. The
writer had an experience of this kind
when floods destroyed his corn crop
and it became necessary to buy grain
for all the stock. Not until that time
would it have been possible to persuade
us that any feed was better for hogs
than corn. As the feed had to be
bought we concluded to test the, to us,
theory and the ration that year con
sisted of about one-third corn until we
approached the fattening season. Dur
ing the season the hogs had the range
and their indoor feed was all sorts
of grain mixed, whatever could be
bought at lowest prices, not the very
best way to feed, of course, but it was,
apparently, better than the all corn
diet. A close record of cost was kept
; and we found that by reason of the
fact that we were able to market the
hogs considerably earlier owing to the
ration, the expense of raising them was
less than when corn was cheap. Since
then we have sold a portion of the corn
crop for what it would bring and put
the cash Into a variety of grains; then
too, we have grown and fed root crops
and found that helped (he profit very
materially by reducing the cost for
grains.
BUILDING CHEAP POULTRY
HOUSES.
Attention has been called to the
necessity for comfortable poultry houses
and the lack of necessity for anything
beautiful In the form of architecture.
One of the best poultry houses the
writer ever saw was a dug out in the
hillside. This was selected because
the owner had a certain amount of
lumber he could use, but it was not
in shape to make even a passable look
ing house if built in the open. Es
| peclal care was taken In this case to
! have the house dry and warm and as
it faced the southeast glass windows
let In all the light that was needed.
I A run of considerable size, partly shelt
I ered by a portion of the hillside gave
| aiiiplo room for fxercls*. In building a
poultry house for winter occupancy the
main thing Is to have It dry and more
time should be spent on this than any
other portion of the work. To make the
house warm and free from draughts
Is easily accomplished with the liberal
use of newspapers. Have the floor dry,
arrange the house so that the fowls have
light and you have done much for their
comfort. Feed and water them prop
erly and they'll do the rest.
GRAIN AND ROOTS FOR COWS.
A number of experiments have dem
onstrated that the best results come
from feeding the grain to dairy cows
after It Is ground and there is also
considerable advantage In feeding a
number of grains either mixed or by
themselves. In the matter of root crops
feeding mainly carrots und mangels
our best results have come from slicing
the roots so that the cow may begin
to masticate at once without waiting to
bite the root to a proper size. While
ihere may be some doubt ubout the
wisdom of feeding dairy cows heavily
on roughage. It Is a good plan to give
them enough so that they will have it
before them to take when they please.
We find It a good plan to furnish this
roughage in small quantities so that
after the grain Is eaten the cow can
make a few cuds; then, in the middle
of the morning and afternoon other
sntall quantities are given her. In this
way she not, likely to over eat of bulky
food and be unable to eat properly of
the grain ration. This sort of feefling
combined with the sunny stable, warm
and clean with plenty of fresh clean
water will fill the ntllk pall.
WATCH THE OLD HENS.
So long us the two or three year old
hen lays a, fair number of eggs she is
profitable to ke^p, but the week there is
a decided break In her layl.ig and she
shows no indication of resuming then she
should be put in rather small quarters and
fattened for the carcass market. It Is
hard sometimes to thus dispose of a hen
who has turned considerable money Into
the treasury, but when her usefulness as
a layer Is over she will quickly turn protlt
Into loss by eating mnch more than the
value of the eggs she lays. If she Is one
of the larger breds like Plymouth Hock,
Wyandotte or Brahma the carcass will
bring a good price In the market and it
will not take a great deal of corn to put
her In good condition. By the way, In fat
tening fowls for market do not make the
mistake of feeding corn wholly. Let the
corn ration be a little more than was
given her when laying Increasing It slight
ly each day until Just before marketing
the corn is about two-thirds of the ration.
Fowls fattened In this way are tender and
I have an excellent color that the over-fat
I bird does not have.
HOW ARE THE HORSES?
Farm horses that have had a busy sea
con are not likely to be In the best condi
tion at this season of the year. Generally
the trouble Is indigestion due In a meas
ure to Impaired condition generally and
sometimes they are troubled with worms.
Here Is an Ideal formula for horses In the
condition described. It is used by many
horsemen and Is, to all Intents and pur
poses, the same as a famous "condition"
remedy sold in large quantltes to horse
! owners. Have mixed at the drug store
l live drams of emetic tartar In five ounces
I of granulated sugar. Divide In live pow
1 ders and give one In wheat bran brash
I every morning before the regular food,
I which should be given an hour later. Aft
! er the last powder has been taken wait
j an hour and then give the horses a pill
1 composed of an ounce of Barbadoes aloes
and a quarter ounce of ginger. This treat
ment will bring out the worms if there are
any. Here is the after treatment which
| will act as a tonic. Take one pound of
ground flax Beed and mix with it four
ounces of powdered sulphate of iron, five
j ounces powdered gentian root, one ounce
' powdered nux vomica, four ounces pow
I dered nitrate of potash, two ounces of
; powdered charcoal and two ounces of
powdered anise seed. Mix thoroughly and
I stir It well. The dose is a tablespoonful
| this mixture three times a day in the
grain fed the horse. By the time the
quantity mixed Is taken the horse will be
In fine condition.
THE CLEAN POULTRY HOUSE.
It Is simply impossible to win a'ny degree
of success In the poultry business unless
the houses are kept clean; not fairly clean,
but absolutely clean. It Is safe to say that
fully one-half of the troubles of poultry
raisers are due to unclean houses for filth
begets disease and very quickly too among
poultry. Naturally the droppings are the
most fertile source of the trouble, hence
great care should be paid to this. The
best way is to have the dropping board
under the roost and after sprinkling dry
soil over the droppings each morning use a
hoe and scrape them off to be put away
in boxes for use on the garden later. Then
sprinkle a little lime and soil over the
dropping board and it Is ready for night.
Clean the nests, frequently burning the
nest material and whitewashing the nest
box, sprinkling In a little carbolic acid
each time. The clean poultry house will
do much toward tiling the egg basket.
TWO HANDY TOOLS.
A fodder shocker, as it Is popularly
known, is easily constructed by using a
piece of one and one-half by one and one
half Inch stuff ten feet long. Make legs
and fasten to one end at an angle so that
It will staeid firm. About three feet from
the end to which the legs are attached
bore a hole through the long strip, using
an inch bit. Make a hickory pin three
feet long to fit easily Into this hole. When
using place the shocker where the shock
of corn Is to stand, the one end resting on
the ground, and set the corn In all the
corners made by the pin and the shocker.
After tieing the shock draw out the pin
and pull out the shocker, and It is ready
for the same operation again. The other
device Is for use on a stone boat or for
handling logs, and consists of a large hook
and ring made by a blacksmith. The cen
ter doubletree clevis Is put through the
ring and the hook attached to the chain
or ring on boat. The illustration shows
both these devices In detail and how read
ily they can be made.

■ Many women are denied the happiness of™
children through derangement of the genera
tive organs. Mrs. Beyer advises women to use
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
“Dear Mrs. Pink-ham: — I suffered with stomach complaint for
years. I got so bad that I could not carry my children but five months,
then would have a miscarriage. The last time I became pregnant, my
husband got me to take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
After taking the first bottle I was relieved of the sickness of stomach,
and began to feel better in every way. I continued its use and was
enabled to carry my baby to maturity. I now have a nice baby girl,
and can Avork better than I eArer could before. I am like a new wo
man.” — Mrs. Frank Beyer, 22 S. Second St., Meriden, Conn.
Another case which proves that no other medicine
in the world accomplishes the same results as
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
“ Dear Mrs. Pinkitam :—I was married
for five years and gave birth to two pre
mature children. After that I took
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound, and it changed me from a weak,
1 .nervous woman to a strong, happy and
healthy wife within seven months. With
in two years a lovely little girl was bom,
who is the pride and joy of my household.
If every woman who is cured feels as
grateful and happy as I do, you must

Juvenile Gamblers.
j The World Today for December: Any
: morning In Chicago or New York one
may see girls of 16 or 17. with their heads
I close together over a newspaper tabula
' tlon, trying to figure out “winners" during
their street car or elevated road ride to
the factories or offices where they are em
ployed. Listen to them and you will heal
ths language of the track. They know
the relative reputations of the Jockeys,
and can talk glibly of their riding weights
and of their seats In the saddle. They
know the horses and their supposed lik
ings for track, weight and distance.
Meet them on the way home and you
will hear them say sadly that "luck" had
not been with them that day, and will see
them tear up the tickets and throw them
away. Only one thing is worse for these
girls than losing, and that is winning.
| Losses may bring a tardy, dejected re
! form. Winnings lead to the frenzy of daily
trips to the race courses themselves; to the
spurring of all wild emotions; to the
plunge into the black, engulfing chasm
where life is the least of all things lost.
Observation will show that boys take
their first gambling lessons earlier than
girls. If they have sucked the poison, they
will be hardened gamblers when not half
way through their teenB. The idea of
working for a living Is lost as soon as the
fever of chance Is in their blood. In pool
rooms, on race trains, at the tracks, the
majority of -'regulars" are young In years,
I though old In everything else.
But though their schooling is sooner ac
quired thun that of girls, It Is begun at the
same place—the handbook kindergarten,
and the Instructor Is the same—the news
paper "dope sheet.”
