compartment had been pumped dry,
other men laid a wall of cement and
tire-brick in the openings and braced

teamed to New York for permanent

Andrew Wermilen, 45 years old.
could not obtain employment in Chi
es go. "Sot'er, industrious and a first-
class mechanical engineer," wag his
description in his letters of recoui
mendatkin, but all these qualities
counted for nothing with the men to
whom he went seeking employment
"You are too old," they told him. So
Andrew Wermilen committed suicide.
Let us assume that these tacts, as we
have them; are all the facts, and that
Andrew Wermilen had no other rea
son than mere age to lead him to take
bis life. It is natural then to discuss
his case from his own point of view.
Should he not have waited longer?
Should he not have tided himself over
his troubles for a time by seeking day
laborer's work, or doing odd Jobs here!
and there, until perhaps he could find
a place as an engineer? Should he
not even have contented himself with
doing permanently work of lower
grade and smaller pay than that in
which he had become proficient? But
what use to seek an answer? Andrew
Wermilen is dead, and the discussion
would be mere waste of breath. There
is another point of view, however,
from which the case is of interest. In
this man's death society has lost a
pair of capable hands and a trained
brain. Society is poorer by Just the
amount of productive work that could
have been accomplished by those
hands and that brain. A man of 45
should have fifteen or twenty years
ahead of him at the least in which td
make effective use of the skill he ac
quired in the early years of bis life.
We are apt to spend much breath from
time to time in denouncing the drones
and "spongers" on society whether
beggars or idle rich and often we use
the very practical argument that they
consume what they do not produce
and that tbey are consequently waste
ful members of society. What shall
we say of the waste that is Involved
when society itself can find no place
for competent men over 45, who are
thus driven either to destitution or to
ower grades of work or to suicide?
The blame rests on society, which
means on ourselves. The growing ten
dency, seen in many lines of industry.
to regard men in the prime of life as
"too old to work" is a spendthrift so
cial habit fully as much in need of
diagnosis and a cure as Is even race
suicide in its most suicidal forms.
Poor Luck with Alligator.
When I got down into Mississippi (
began to look for alligators, thinking
to find them basking in the sun on
the banks of every creek and bayou.
but three weeks passed and I had not
yet got sight of one. Then I accepted
an invitation to stay with Major Bur-
banks for two or three days. He had

gator. On the second evening I walk
ed down to the water to look In vain,
but at the same time I was somewhat
interested In a negro who sat on the
log fishing. He told tne he had never
seen a 'gator in the bayou, and that he
was expecting to catch a ca;8h at
any moment, and I had turned away
when there was a yell and a splash. I
whirled about, but all I could see was
the muddy water churned Into foam
and the waves lashing the bank. At
that moment the major joined me and
I said:
"Major, there was a negro fishing
from that log a moment ago,"
"Yes?"
"And something baa taken him."
"Yea?"
"But but it must have been an alli
gator?" "And you never caught sight of
him?"
"No."
"Shoo! You do seem to be out of
luck with the 'gators, for shore. Let'

Taking the Farmer Down,
A couple of individuals were recent
ly gazing with admiration at a fine fat
beast at a cattle show.
"I wonder what his weight might
be?" observed one of them, who, as it
happened, was a cockney without any
special knowledge.
"It'a easy enough to guess pretty
nigh it," aid the other man, a stal
wart farmer, looking with some con
tempt at bis companion,
"Oh. well," said the cockney, "I
think I could guess as near as you
can."
"Could ye, now?" roared the farmer.
"Well, I'll bet ye a sovereign ye can't"
"DoneT' retorted the cockney. "How
much do you say?"
After a critical survey the farmei
replied:
"A hundred and seventeen stone."
"Well," said the cockney, "I'll say a
hundred and seventeen stone too. Now
band over the money."
"What d'ye mean?"
"Well, I said I'd gueag as near a
yon, and I've done sa I've guessed
exactly the same."
And the bystanders taking his part
the bnmproons farmer had to give him
the money. Tld Bits.

large hole for ventilation and arrange
the oening in the front so that some
means will be had for closing it so
that the storm may lie shut off.
If one has but a few coops a slid
ing window may be used to close the
front; if many coops are made the
opening may lie closed by a sliding
door made of thin material. During
the suminer. if this solid wood door
was used it would lie advisable to
make the ventilation opening larger

Cultivating Drilled Corn.
It Is generally conceded that more
orn can lie grown on an acre in
drills than in hills, but Iu weedy land
tire great trouble Is to keep drilled
corn clean and free from weeds. The
great mistake in cultivating drilled
corn usually is made at the first
working, when shovels of medium size
re used and small furrows left close-
to the rows. We find it no harder to
eep drilled corn free from weeds
than it Is to keep bill corn clean, by
sing the smoothing harrow across
the rows lust as soon as the corn Is up.
In four or five days a second harrow-;
ing may be given and then the cultl- ,
valors be set to work.
Avoid leaving any furrow close to
the rows, and also le sure not to
ihrow a ridge of earth up to the
plants. Keep the laud Just as level
as possible the nrst two or tnree
workings and then as the plants be
gin to shade the ground they will do
much to smother out weeds. The Inter
cultivation of any corn Is best given
by a one-horse five shovel cultivator
Instead of the two-horse riding Imple
ment, as with the rormer one can go
very shallow and keep at any desired
iistance from the growing corn. We
lelieve there are too many high-priced
iding cultivators and not enough
miall one-horse implements used. The

LofMi from Hitter Hot.
The losses from bitter rot of apples
tre seldom appreciated, but the men
hat have Investigated them declare
:hem to be simply enormous for the
ntlre country. Professor Blair of the
University of Illinois, said Inst fall
that the losses from bitter rot In four
counties of Illinois had totaled for the
past season $1,500,000. This was in
the four counties of Marion, Clay,
Richard and Wayne. Bitter rot Is a
fungous disease and can be controlled
o some extent by spraying. It Is time
(hat apple growers awoke fully to the
i'liormous tax they are every year pay-
ng to the fungous diseases that rav
age orchards. Could farmers elimi
nate even this one scourge of bitter
rot we would add millions of dollars
o the value of the apple crop.
Water for the 8 wine.
Pure water does more than quench
he thirst of the hog. It enters large
y into the composition of flesh; It as-
lists In digestion by acting as a sol
vent for food elements; It is a vehicle
for carrying off the poisonous wastes
f the system, which. If not thus re
lieved, are often reabsorbed by (he
ystem, either creating diseases or
.ondltions favorable to disease rav
iges. When the drinking water hap
pens to lie unwholesome In Itself, the
jossllile double mischief is easily un
lerstood. Treatment for Scratches.
The best treatment for scratches is
to put one ounce each of sulphate of
ne, stigar-of lead and powdered alum
into a quart bottle, fill with pure soft
water and shake well. Saturate the
tore places well once a day for a
week, then apply sweet oil to the scab
j nee a day to soften the scab and
make it peel off; then wash with
s-arm water and ca stile soap. If the
aorte Is used while being cared, al
ways clean and dry tba legs, rubbing
i:h the sawdust or a clean sack. The
long, natural growth of hair on the
lower part of the lees and fetloeks
rhouid never be cut off. and if the
burses' legs are rubbed clean and dry
when brought In from work, they will
not le liable to get the scratches.

Harding Bailey, In Jersey Bulletin.
The Cot of Makinu I'ork.
The sole purpose of finishing a
bunch of pigs ut an early age is to
make them more profitable by saving
feed. It takes n certain amount mere
ly to keep them, and the shorter the
time tbey are kept the less this will
cost. So far it Is a simple problem,
but there are other factors which en
ter in. The pushing process may be
the most costly in the end because
. 11 requires tne feeding of a large
'!"-'nitity of high-priced grain or mlll-
, """ls' "'''i iy uti.izlng the pas
, l",(H nna woods tlicy may make

UMl ul' future has value iu propor
lion to the grain. Sometimes It has
and sometimes It has not als de
pends on what something else could
get out of it In the way of gain and
consequent cash. "The point Is that
ing hogs at an early age is the best
thing only when It is the cheapest. A
man can afford to wait a couple of
months to put his pigs on the market
if by utilizing pastures or forage and
saving high-priced grain he can do it
cheaper. The cost of marketing a
pound or pork, and not the time it
takes to do It Is the vital problem.
Thiniiioii Peaches Pay.
.ot every grower appreciates the
importance of thinning peaches, but
there can be no tjucstion of the neces
sity of the practice. If best results are
to lie secured. The Michigan Experi
ment tation reports tbe following
concerning this matter:
A thinning test was started In
190.1, to iAt over a period of three
years. Of one lot, one tree was thin
ned to 8 inches; one was thinned to 4
or 5 Inches, and one tree was left un
t 111 nncd. Of the other varieties, one
tree was thinned to 8 inches and one
tree left unthinned. It was noted at
the end of the first season's test that
all trees severely thinned were much
thriftier, and their foliage much
healthier, and did not fail from the
trees as early In the season as on un
thinned trees; that peaches from the
thinned trees sold for nearly double
as much as those from unthinned
trees. The varieties chosen for the tpst
happened to ripen at a time when
there was a good demand, otherwise
peaches from unthiniied trees would
have been unsalable. From a com
mercial standpoint the liencfit from
heavy thinning was very apparent."
Little Profit In Cookltid Feed.
The utility in cooking feed for ani
mals, and fispeclnlly for pigs, was
given most attention In the days previ
ous to Investigations by experiment
stations. ('(Miking feed is no longer
regarded as an economical practice for
fattening animals. However, for breed
ing stock and sick animals, and for
animals which it is desired to put Into
the very highest condition, cooking
may be practiced with good results, if
expense Is disregarded. Pigs so fed
show marked thriftinoss and health.
Cold Main Had for Cows.
The Arizona KxH'i-iment Station re

continued until it reached 60 per cent
