The trader's brother , a London physician , happened to be building a 'house , and his brother suggested that the logs would serve for ceiling beams. Acting on the proposal , the doctor gave orders to his workmen accordingly , but their tools were not able to make an Im pression on the hard wood. The doctor ordered fresh tools to be made , and at length succeeded In finding implements which would cut the timber. Delighted "with his discovery he ordered a bureau to be made , and so beautiful was It that It attracted general attention , New "fork Tribune. - Btnte of Ohio , City of Toledo , Lucas Coun ty , ss. : Frank .T.

The metropolitan racing ; season , which recently closed in New York , was the most remarkable in history in m'any re spects. Attendance figures have beaten sill records. No officia. figures have been announced , but a caln estimate is that 4,000,000 attended the meets of the vari ous associations that make up the metro politan circuit. Most of these paid ad missions to the grandstand were at $3 a head. This would foe up $10,000,000 for tlic race tracks. Figuring a racegoer's expenses at $ o a day , aside from losing wafers , $20,000,000 more was thus con tributed , most of it toward the coffers of the jockey flub. There is small chance of figuring the losses' and winnings in the hotting ring Only ustiinate-j can be given and these cannot be relied on. It is known that five of the big bookmakers are about $100,000 winner on the season , which would mean that at least $500,000 of the public's money has been lost to them alone. All tokl. the only sure winners have been the racing associations. Tliej have rweived 11101103- from various sources , not to mention , $480,000 or more con tributed by the average number of 200 bookmakers for the privilege of doing business in the ring. The attendances constitute a feature of the season. It was by far the greatest year in the history of eastern racing from the gate money point of view. MOUNTAIN OF GOLD. Tlie Illclie.-st Find in the History of Yellow-Metal SeeUlnj ? The uncovering of what promises to b' ) the richest find of gold since mining for this metal was begun , is reported from the province of Saskatchewan. Man. A prospector named Hughes ran across a vein which he found was ten miles long by one mile across , and a good part of it lies only ten feet below the surface. Thi ore has been assayed at Ottawa and shows $051 to the ton. Tn the fissures in places can be soon ycll. v. ' trcaks in dicating large quantities of gold. The discovery is near Birliug , in the Battleford district , and 42 miles west of North Battleford. Birling is 550 miles west of Winnipeg , 450 miles north of Great Falls , Mont. , and 150 miles from the northern frontier of the latter State. It is 100 miles away from the nearest railroad station and lies on the north branch of the Saskatchewan river. The strike among the Chinese coolies in Singapore continues and is delaying shipping. The trade unions in the Tranpvaai re port that 20 per cent of the skilled work ers there are idle. South Bend ( Ind. ) Central Labor Union has voted to maintain a Sunday reading room for members. The Garment Workors' Union is the largest in the United States which is composed chiefly of women. The western railroads are willing to raise the wages of their employes , but de cline to concede the eight-hour day. The annual report of the new Zea land labor department shows that that country absorbed thousands of new ar rivals last year. Japanese papers are urging their coun trymen to give up going to San Francisco and the Pacific coast and turn to South America. Brazil gives greater facilities to Japanese than to other races- while Chile holds out special inducements. In comparing the pay of Maine women teachers with the wage of cotton mill operatives in the State it was found in favor of the former ; the 0,530 women working in the cotton mills of Maine get an average weekly wage o $5.99 , while the women school teachers get an aver age weekly wage of $0.90. An official of the American Federation at Chicago anounces that the policemen j of that city are to be formed into a union , the union taking the place of the benevo lent order which has been maintained in the department for many years. The fire men and school teachers of Chicago are affiliated with the Federation. Recent official returns to the American Federation of Labor from 577 unions , with an aggregate membership of 69,177 , showed but .8 of 1 per cent out of employ ment. In the preceding month TBS unions , with a membership of 70,700 , re ported 8.2 per cent unemployed. Indi vidual reports of unions show universally j excellent conditions. The bill posters i report "trade good , and prospects bright j for the coming year , with no strikes or lockouts. " That women are taking a more promi nent part in trade union affairs than for merly is shown by the election of Miss Rose Pfanstill a few days ago on the executive board of Cigarmakers' Union No. 14 , the largest local in Chicago. Miss Pfanstill has been a member of the union for five years and she is the first woman to be elected to a responsible position in the organization. She is credited with being one of the fastest cigarmakers in the 'city and is an enthusiastic union worker. For eight hours each day she makes cigars in the factory of Peter O'Brien , at Lincoln and Fulton streets , and attends meetings in connection with the union almost every night. She is an accomplished musician and is popu lar with the other members o'f the union , who say she has more executive ability than most of the men in the organization. The International Cigannakers' Union has $700,000 in the treasury. The mem- btrs pay the highest dues of any union in the country. Stratford ( Kan. ) entire City Council and Mayor were recently threatened with imprisonment by the State labor commis sioner because they refused to comply with the eight-hour law. The Union Laborers' Protective So ciety of New South Wales is being block ed on legal technical points by the Com monwealth Portland Company from hav ing its claims for better conditions brought before the arbitration court. A pile of cobs burned and then sprinkled with salt makes a nice ap petizer for hogs. He who leaves the leaves of the clov er plant on the field robs the cattle of the best part of the plant. Keep a few sheep or goats and learn to eat fat mutton part of the time in stead of pork pork pork all the time. Guinea fowls are good layers , and when not too old their flesh is tender and pleasant to the taste , but darker than chickens. In shocking grain the bundles must be set down in a vigorous manner or they will not stay. It is surprising what poor shockers we have on farms. Tame hens sit and lay better , and fowls of all kinds fatten better when not subject to sudden fright , as is often ' ten the case with those that are-tame. In making the best quality of butter for market there arc five essentials : Uniformity in color , in texture , in saltIng - Ing , in packing and In leaving no water in the butter. Do the boys turn the horses out of the barn by scaring them out and mak ing them run ? It is not the best plan. Slapping them with the halter and saying "Get out of here , " makes fools sf them. Fall is as good a time as spring to set out fruit trees. Get good trees and plan to give them good care in the future. This is the only way to have nature's medicine fruit , to keep set ting out trees ; it does not take long to get your reward. To those who are familial- with trans planting operations , the best time to transplant rose bushes is In the spring. Autumn planting may sometimes be done to advantage by those who live in a mild climate and are familiar with such work , but beginners had better do such work in the spring. Nut trees , as a rule , have long tap roots , and it has been handed down i'or years that to cut thin tap roots when transplanting them meant death to the tree , but experience shows differently. If the long tap root is cut many lat erals are sent out , and thus a fine , Strong root system is established , which will make a good tree. Relative to the time of harvesting apples , the author of a bulletin , issued by the Idaho station , calls special at tention to the necessity of harvesting Jonathan apples when the seeds have turned a light brown. If the fruit is not picked until well colored and the seeds are dark around the edges , it Is likely to rot at the core while still sound on the outside. One of the most Important factors In Increasing the wheat yield is early plowing. If you don't believe it , plow a portion of. the field early in August and the balance at the end of Septem ber , and in the part plowed first , you may have an increase of ten bushels an acre over the other. Early plowing is especially necessary In clay lands. Gen erally speaking , the field should lie rolled as soon as it is plowed. The dewberry. Is propagated by tips , the same as blackcap raspberry ; and , with the creeping propensities of its canes , the grower will have no difficulty in increasing his stock of plants very rapidly. If the natural rate of increase , however , is not sufficiently rapid , the method of propagation fi-oin cuttings of the canes when in a proper state of ripeness-will satisfy the most exacting propagator. It is said that some vari eties may be propagated very readily from root cuttings. Excellent Fattening ? Ration. Alfalfa hay and corn and cob meal form a most excellent ration for fat tening , and unless future experiments change these results we shall have to admit that this combination gives bet ter results than the use of a greater- variety of roughage. This is the ver dict to which a steer feeding experi ment leads Professor Erf and others at the Kansas experiment station. Six-Year Crop Rotation. A six-year rotation of grain crops only , and of grain crops with clover In the rotation , is reported by the In-1 dlana Experiment Station. With con tinuous grain cropping the average yield of wheat for six years was 20.0' bushels per acre. With clover in the rotation the average yield of wheat was 26.6 bushels. The plots used in this experiment were unfertilized with reything but the clover. What Testing : Crenin 31 can.t. Our grandmothers never had to cou- ilder the question of thickness of cream. To them it was all one whether the cream was thick or thin. Since the test has been brought into use , it is discovered that a cream that contains about 35 per cent of pure but ter fat is best for buttermaking. The cream that is only about 25 per cent pure butter fat often develops too much acidand makes poor butter. Tne Farmer's Day. The statistics up to this year show that since 1900 farm real estate val ues have increased 33 1-3 per cent. Fewer men are going in the business. All the good land is in hand. The growing population demands more of the products of the soil and with the constant desire of Immigrants to re main in cities or in small manufactur ing centers , the farmer finds a sale for all he can produce. This Is the day when the tiller of the soil can buy automobiles for his family. -Xe\v Yorlc Lends In Dairy Products. . According to figures compiled up to the 1st of July by the dairy division of the Agricultural Department at Wash ington , there are 207 cows to every thousand of population in the State of New York , and the annual output of milk reaches 772,799,000 gallons , which is greater than that of any other State in the Union. Wisconsin has 483 cows to every thousand inhabitants , yet its production of milk reaches only 472- 275,000 gallons. In the District ef Co lumbia the production of milk is SuO- 000 gallons yearly , and the District has but four cows to each thousand of population. A Creamery Fakir. An agent of a creamery company , who has been operating in a sensa tional manner in central Indiana , Is reported making such claims as man ufacture of butter that would keep for twelve months , and then sell at top market price , or could stand out in the hot sun all day without melting. The buttermilk was to be used for feeding chickens , and live-pound chick ens would be made to weigh ten pounds in ten days' feeding , the im proved quality of meat selling at six teen cents a pound. Evidently this agent thinks the farmers of the Cent ral West are easy marks. American Cultivator. SprayingTor Potato Bliglit. After briefly describing the cause of potato blight , C. A. McCue , of the Mich igan experiment station , gives the re sults of experiments inwhich potatoes were sprayed with Bordeaux mixture and comparisons made with similar plants receiving a spraying of lime wa ter. Where the potatoes were given fourteen sprayings of Bordeaux mix ture at intervals of four days a net gain of $11.90 per acre is reported. Where they were sprayed at intervals of ten days , six applications being giv en , a net gain of $15.44 per acre is giv en. On plats sprayed every fifteen days a net gain of $13.38 per acre Is report ed , and where four sprayings at inter vals of twenty days $11.03 per acre net gain is reported. For the plat which received fourteen sprayings of fime water at intervals of four days a loss .of $1.70 Is reported. The cost of spray ing Is said to have been 72 cents per acre for each application. This amount , the author believes , could be reduced to not more than 55 cents per acre. The author gives compiled informa tion relative to spraying by individual farmers , the results obtained at other stations , etc. , and notes that the sta tion expects to carry on experiments for the prevention of late blight for at least five years. Alternating Crops. In connection with rotation of crops the laud should be improved every year. There is a point beyond which soils can not be permanently enriched without an improvement of their con stitutional organization , which , however - over , may be done by supplying artifi cially those ingredients of a good soil of which they are deficient , such as lime , and even sand or clay , if possi ble , for without ; clumgqs in the consti tutional organization of the soil we can not hope to carry its fertility perma nently beyond what it has acquired In a state of nature. Soils which have been reduced merely by cultivation , where they have not been injured by washing rains , may be easily reno vated , and this must be done by again supplying them with those ingredients of which they have been deprived by bud husbandry. This may be done in part by the application of manures , whence we are to draw much of the necessary supply of vegetable food , and to this end farmers should freely culti vate those crops which derive most of their food from it. In soils adapted for its cultivation , red clover is most .suitable for this purpose ; it Is by far the most convenient and the cheapest mode of renovating exhausted soils , not only supplying much vegetable matter to soils that have been much reduced , but it is admirably calculated to pulverize and reduce Its component parts to a finely divided state , thus producing a condition favorable to a combination with those elementary substances which are furnished by the Jitniosphere , thereby greatly increasing its capacity for absorbing moisture. Even weeds , previous to the time of L-ipeuing their seeds , derive much of their nutriment from the atmosphere , and by destroying thorn before they produce seed their product in vegeta ble matter goes to renovate that soil upcu which they have been grown. KCTT Bill * Kurd to Count. "Do you mind taking new bills ? " In quired the paying teller. "Do I mind new 'bills ? Certainly not In fact , I prefer them. " "Everybody doesn't care for new greenbacks , " said the 'bank cashier. Then he added : "It is a common idea that bank tellers do not care to give crisp paper money. As a matter of fact nine cashiers out of every ten try to get rid of new money as quick ly as possible after receiving it. There Is grave danger to thb average paying teller In handling unusued money. "New bank notes stick together. Frequently the ink is not thoroughly dry. During our rush period we han dle a great deal of money. It is the easiest thing in the world to nuikf mistakes with new bills when In a hurry to relieve a long Ijne of wait ing patrons. When possible we give out the new bills during hours when there is no rush. I'd rather pay out 1,000,000 old bills than 100 new ones. " "These bills are new enough , that's sure. But I seem to be a lvvy short. I'll count them over 1. - j-iiie sure. No , they are nil here. Tue two were stuck together. " "That's just it , " laughed the cash ier. "One cannot be too careful iu handling them. I count old bills over twice. I have to count a pile of new bills half a dozen times. " New York Sun. Excluding American Students. The authorities of the University of Berlin say that statements published abroad to the effect that the stringent regulations concerning the admission of students are designed to exclude many Americans altogether are untrue. Any graduate of an American college who presents a passport and the diplo ma of bachelor of arts or any other equivalent degree will be admitted without any questions. It is true that the diplomats of some of the smallest institutions bearing the name of col leges are omitted from the list of those recognized. The new regulations are directed against Russians not having sufficient means of support or who are academically unqualified. SECURITY.
