As tbey are then partially dried, the
stalks should be got under cover as
soon as possible. If the stalks aro
wet after being once dried, the waste
from rotting goes on much more rap
idly than before. If the stalks should
heat somewhat in the mow this is bet
ter than to leave them exposed to fur
ther Injury by storms, with little chance
of drying out, except as It will be frozeu
dry by the cold of winter. This freez
ing of wet stalks takes from them most
of their feeding value.
The Ouality of Timothy Hay.
One reason why timothy hay Is a fa
vorite in the markets is Its uniformity
of quality. Not being so nitrogenous
as clover. It Is much less likely to bo
injured by being wet and beating. The
variation in quality is mainly due to
early or late cutting, though some liv
ery stable keepers prefer the fully
ripened timothy, which te least nutri
tious because the horse likes the tim
othy seeds. Clover hay is very apt to
become musty and dusty if it has been
exposed to fermentation. Timothy hay
will not be dusty unless cut in the
bloom, and the dust Is not so injurious
as that from partly decayed clover.
Sweet App'ea for Hones,
A quart or two of sweet apples jmt
day for each horse w ill be wortii more
to it than the same bulk of oats addi
tional to Its regular ration of hay and
grain. The apples are better than any
kind of roots, and this year they are
everywhere cheap and plenty. Sour
apples are nearly as good, bin the
horses prefer the sweet apples when
they can be had. In nutritive value
there is very little difference. There
is much sweet in what we call a "sour"
apple, which Is only called "sour" be
cause an acid disguises the sweet It
contains.
Handy Style of Wheelbarrow.
A deep wheelbarrow la more useful
than one built on the old plan, be
cause It will hold more, and the work
of building such a barrow Is not much
greater. Any one who owns a wheel
and irons belonging to an old wheel
barrow can easily construct one by
first procuring two stout pieces for
the shafts and mortising them together
firmly just behind the wheel. The
next mortis- must come 2 Inches from
the ground on the legs at A. From this
mortise the fhxir of the barrow must
reach forward to B, where it Is sup
ported by two false legs mortised Into
the shafts and reaching within 2 Inches
of the ground. The sides may be solid
from the floor up. or if preferred they
may extend only to the top of the
shafts, and from this point movable
side boards may extend upward. The
only disadvantage in having the body
solid te In being forced to remove most
of the load from between the handles.
BIO LOADS EASILY
This wheelbarrow is especially useful
In carting leaves, etc., and in handling
heavy stones, which are loaded ujon
it with ease, because so near the
ground. If one doalres he may arrange
a movable bottom, which will permit
the load to be deposited without tip
ping by merely raising the handle.
Farm and Home.
Watering Plant, in Winter.
There Is far more danger of giving
house plants too much rather than too
little water In winter. During the
short days and long nights, with very
little sunlight on the soil, it Is hard to
keep It at a temperature where the
plants can grow vigorously. All the
surplus water added lowers the tem
perature until It reaches a point where
the plants barely exist without making
any growth. If the soil has much
vegetable matter, huuilc acid will be
developed at a low temperature aud
this will poison the plant roots.
Paying; Dry Koad Pant.
One of the jobs which should be at
tended to before Cold weather Is to save
a few barrels of dry road dust to be
used as dust baths for hens In winter.
Nothing contributes more to the health
of hens than this. Coal ashes will an
swer, but they stick .to the feathers
of fowls worse than road dust will, and
give the birds an unsightly appear
ance. The road dust Is coarser, and
we think the fowls like to roll in It bet
ter than In thj while, line dust thai
comes from sifting coal ashes.
Phosphate for Clover.
Whenever phosphate is sown with
grain, a part of the fertilizer Is always
appropriated by the clover seed sown
with it Clover Is a lime plant, and It
also needs the phosphoric add that Is
so helpful to the wheat The phos
phate Is especially valuable when ap
plied to clover that Is to produce a seed
crop. J'otash Is also needed to make
clover seed well, and should be ap
plied in some form.

POWDER-HORNS.

Gunpowder la Tim of War.
Powder horns have become quite
rare, and aro carious objects for the
tudy of the collector and the historian.
Like coins and inedate, from wbi-h
the collector may find out many Inter
esting facta about the past, po-wder
horns which have been decorated with
pl-tures and luwftptloDu give much In
formation concerning the geography
and history of famous placet! and
events.
The use of horns of animals for -ar-'
rying gunpowder was Introduced into
America from England and France, but
the exact date when they were first
used in Europe Is not known. Certain
ly K was not less than three hundred
and fifty yearn ago, as can be seen
from the dates on specimen In Kuro
pean museums.
Before Improved gun and cartridge
were used, the curved horn was the
lsst devl-e for carrying guniKrwder In
war time for the use of the muzzle
loaders ami flint-kx-ks, and the bonis
were ustii even with some of the later
guns those that were tir-d by pemis
tiou cups.
A durable horn could lie had easily
aud cheaply. It was quickly prepared
for holding the gunpowder, and. more
over, It was strong enough to witb
Ktaud the rough usage to which boms
wen often subjected, as in skirmish
fighting or making long marcher
through the wllderneHS. The horns
neither rust nor decoy, even if buried
in the earth for a century; and. If the
plugs are properly fitted, the iiowder
w ill keep dry, although carried for days
in the rain. They can le flouted, or
dipped In the water, without harm to
the jxnvder within, this Is-ing a matter
of the greatest importance during the
Colonial ami Revolutionary wars, when
bridge! were hardly thought of ami
armies had to wade through swamps
and streams of water, often up to the
necks of the soldiers.
In order to prepare the horn for the
soldier's use, the ends were stoppi-d by
wooden plugs and were securely fast
ened to a strap which was worn under
the left arm and over the riglit shoul
der, the curved horn fitting the left side
of the waist of the wearer; and a uiore
graceful equipment could not lie de
slriM. Iuring the eokml.-il times and during
the Revolution, w hen a soldier volun
teered or was ordered out for active
service, he was generally required to
come provlditl wlrti four articles, name
ly: gun. powder born, blankets, and
ku;i-ai k. The Government furnished
t!e rest of the iMfoutrenieiiUi and the
outfit of clothing.
A military order required every jkiw
der born to be marked with the own
er's name, so that it could be quickly
returned to him after Is-ing filled at
the powder wagon. St. Nicholas.
An Old Trick.
The amount of fun that memlters
have when out on their trips te equaled
only by the amount of enthusiasm that
they Inspire by their songs. Coming
up from Jackson the other day, one of
their old Jests was successfully played.
The word was passi-d "around and,
when the brakeman entered the car,
one member looked at his wat h and.
not lieing satisfied with the result of
the Intqiection, asked the brakeman
what time it was. The brakeman ac
commodatingly told the Inquirer,
whereat the seventy-five memliers of
the club shouted in chorus, "Thank you
kindly, sir!" The brakeman dropped
his head and sneaked crestfallen away
amid the laughter. Fretty soon he
came back.
"Say," said he, "if you will piny that
on the conductor, I won't say a word
alxmt It."
The Ikj.vs agreed to it very readily,
and, when the conductor entered he was
nuked the time of night. He pulled out
his watch :md gsvc the h ;r to the in
quirer. "Thank you. kindly, sir!" shouted the
dub In unison.
The conductor willed and went hur
riedly out. lie came back in half nil
hour with the remark:
"iKiyou know what you made me do?
I called Lancaster, when I should have
called Logan, and my head ain't exact
ly clear yet."
Heveral years ago. the amc trick was
played at one of the meetings. The di
rector turned In his place on the stage
awl asked if some gentleman would
kindly give them tle time, as they had
to catch a train. A man rose In the au
dience, drew forth his watch, doubtless
with a rhrlll of pride, and told the lend
er the hour.
"Thank you, kindly, sir!" shouted the
boys, and the man sat down as if lie
had been struck on the head with a
maul. Columbus Dispatch.
A (Singular Incident.

Natkinal Bank of Troy, New York. A

and the sum of S13f.0i0 was drown out

A GARRULOUS MAN CURED.
The Inaealona lie rice of a Tortara-I
Landlady.
He thought he waa Infallible, and
' would argue for hours with any one
; who had the impunity to contradict
blm. Everything about bim indicted
( the man of Iron will and unchangeable
diissitkin. His features bore traces
1 of the Indian warrior, while bis tower
. ing form and grim mustache increased
( his resembhvne to the mtui who knows
it all. His name In Smith. He te a
bachetor and lives In Raveuswond. But
. he has been cured of his ailment, and
the good suburbanites wonder who
caused the change. He does not argue
any longer, but walks alsiut with a de
jected air, showing that his spirit baa
leen broken.
The miracle was acconipUfhed by his
landlady, and this i the story of bow
Khe did it.
After the banks closed it was Mr.
! Smith's cnotoin to sit each evening ou
j the porch of his Ravenswood home for
hours. Visitors would come and go,
but Mr. Smith would bold the fort. H
had opinions of his own and woe to him
who dared to dispute tlieiu. Any npjio
sitkin to his views would lw met with
a flood of orator)1 which would cower
the dissenter Into obedience.
One evening he argued the folly of ex
pensive dreiwes with his landlady. She
laughed at him, and he liecame furious.
"Now. don't excite yourself," she
said, "for I have beard the doctor say
you re subjct to spasms, ami we will
let the matter nt for the night."
Mr. Smith, flushed with victory so
easily won. retired from the scene.
Imagine his surprise, liowever, the
following evening, when he was en
gaged in conversatkm with an old
friend, win) assented to all of Mr.
Smith's view.
"Hut why ik) yon agree to every
thing?" asked Smith, after a pause.
"Well, confidentially, between yui
and me," whispered bis friend, "I have
heard you are subject to fits aud that
arguments of a violent sirrt are ait to
bring thern about."
Smith ail nothing that night ami
went home. Several nights later a
young wtnnan came up to him and he
ls-gan to talk to her.. She apeaivd to
le afraid of him and only nodded to
bis assertions. She ket a respectful
dlstam-e all the time, ami when he
asked her if she was afraid of blm she
asked li i in soinewluit pityingly:
"Have yon hnd tbctn i .,.
"Have I had w!:.:!?" M;:-t -d out
Slinlli.
"Why. fits, of course. I heard you
had them every time you were contra
dicted; Isn't it true?"
Smith turned on his heel and left the
young woman standing and wondering.
She thnu not know If the rumor Is
true, but Mr. Smith's landlady finds no
trouble with her t-oardcr. He 1s-b not
argue any more, and now believes that
others know Just as much as he does.
Chicago Chronicle,
The French iioy.
Our lsiys do not take the social polish

of big iKiys whom they saw playing at

their Isiys play foot-ball. It is because
these Iroys ' allow themselves to lie

by timid mothers much longer than
theirs, and the boys theiiuudvtit are not

saying this, he made the gexture of

Yewterday happened the first act of

greatest conttdeiK-e. One of my men
was bathing In a pool near by, and left
his cloth and knife near the trail; a
party of natives passing seized the
knife and ran away; hearing of this, I

There was a novel wood-cutting con
test In the Seventh Ward of Wllllams
port. Pa., the other day, In which five
young women took part. The girls are
all employed In the Lycoming rublier
factory, and, having a holiday, they
turned their time to good account, be
sides settling a much-disputed ques

Dunlap, Belle Oouldy ami Mary Rus
sell, all pretty, vivacious young women,
who earn their own living and make
good wages In the rublier factory. In
a banter the other day one of the girls
promised that they have a wood-chopping
contest, aud the one who proved
wooD-notrixo match.
herself to lie the champion cutter
should be entitled to a husbuiid. while
the others. It was agreed, must wait
two years lief ore joining fortunes with
her best beau.
The girls, each with a br.nid-ncw ax,
bedecked with red, white and blue rlb
tsins, marched Into the back yard of
Widow Ilanmau's home aud made an
assault on the woodpile. Widow

ing fallen and hurt herself qnite badly
last winter. Her daughter 1-ou works
In the rublier factory, too, and she was
one of the movers In the wood-cutting
scheme, although she took no part lu
the contest.
Five loads of hemlock slab wood, cut
to stove lengths, had been delivered at
Widow Hurt man's place the day before
the girls paying for it so there was
plenty of material for them on which
to test their strength and skill. Hut the
way the ribboned axes flew and tongue
wagged was only equaled by the shower
of split sticks that gradually piled
themselves up around each chopping
block. William Raskins and Joseph
Schell were there as referees. One of
the young men, however, hnd a more
direct Interest In the contest than being
judge, for one of the glils was his
sweetheart, and, necordlng to the com
pact, If she proved one of the losers In
the contest ho would lie compelled to
wait two long years before she could
become bis wife. For four hours the
wood-chopping went ou; the girls got
red in the face; they rolled up their
sleeves until their plump, pink arms
were bared almost to the shoulders,
and whacked away at the hemlock
blocks as though their lives Instead of

Ianuer in Mock Marriasea.
Not a few giddy girls thluk it Is a
huge joke to participate In a mock mar

to serious embarrassments. Marriage
is a matter too serious to be trifled
with. Judges In the courts have fre
quently lieen called upon to dissolve the
ties thus thoughtlessly entered Into,
sometimes. It is sad to relate, with the
connivance of ministers of the goel
and magistrate who ought to know
better than to play the part they do In
these affairs. If a clergyman were to
announce that a baptising issil would
lie opened some vening, fitter lu the
church or elsewhere, and that he would
perform the rite of baptism as a public
entertainment on the fattest woman or
the tallest man In the nelghlsiSjood,
theje would le no more sacrilege than
