Mr. Randall was modest in all things, and that was one of the secrets of his commanding strength. Berlin newspaper correspondents were not allowed to send out the news of Bismarck's resignation on the night when it first became public. They rewrote their dispatches so as to make them say that it was rumored that Bis marck has resigned, and the authorities let them go in that shape. Then the correspondents filed a second dispatch saying: xiie rumor is a tact, ana the authorities could find no excuse for refusing to send it. Henry Lercallette and Victoria Wright were being married in a coun try church near. Salisburg, Md., and the clergyman was about to declare them man and wife when an aunt of the young woman appeared with a letter from the wife of Lcrcallette, The aunt asked the minister' to read the letter aloud. When the minister finished reading the letter the would-be-bride fell in a swoon and Lercallettc in the excitement left the church and disap peared. A rumors rcmincscence of Gambetta has just come to light. In 18G5 Emile Olliver was invited to dinner at the house of the father of Manet, the cele brated impressionist painter. At the dinner there was a young man who was exceedingly gay and amusing. It was Gambetta. Emile Olhvcr was greatly impressed with the young man's extem pore eloquence, and that evening he said to him: "Young man, if you are willing to work you will one day be a great orator. Olliver little knew how trulv he was prophesying, and what im portant results for his own career Gam betta's oratorv was to have. A few days ago a dog on the ranch of George Noble, of Hollister, Cal., treed a wildcat. Mrs. Noble went out with a rifle and succeeded in wounding the animal, bringing it to the ground. Then the dog took a hand, and in the scuffle dog and cat rolled into the Los Muertos Creek. Mrs. Noble was anxious to convince her husband that she had killed a wildcat, end leaned over the bank of the creek to secure the carcass. While so doing the bank caved in and Mrs. Noble was precipi tated into the stream. She pluckily struck out, however, finally landing the animal and triumphantly exhibited the carcass to Mr. Noble upon hia return home.

Count Aime of Yeddo now becomes plain Herr Curt, and will study at the military school with a view of becoming a Prus sian officer. Viscount Kobayakawa of Tokio will be known in the future as Herr Bruno, and intends to study for the German bai. The cause assigned for this remarkable act on the part of the Japanese is that they have fallen in love with two sisters, daughters of a good old Brandenburg family. The young ladies declined to accept the ad dresses of the young men unless they consented to become Christians and naturalized Germans. The Solomons are not all dead so long as a certain judge at Dorpat lives. A plaintiff sued for a cow for which he said he had paid, but he could bring no other proof against the assertion of the former owner that he had not. The judge, after hearing the case, pro nounced in favor of the defendant, and then invited the audienee, including the defendant, to make up a subscription or the plaintiff. The defendant will ingly gave three roubles, whereupon the judge, looking at them, said: "What do you mean by using counterfeit money? Explain how you got this or you will go to Siberia." Thereupon the defendant confessed that he had got them from his enemy, the plaintiff, and as a punishment he was .compelled to pay them back again and to deliver the cow. An Englishman who has been experi menting for a year on a metal resem bling gold, has his discovery nearly perfected. He stumbled on the com bination at first, while analysing some metals, and when he realized what he had found he soon produced a metal vhich puzzles the best jewelers. All the aluminums before discovered are lacking in weight or in some other es- sential point. This new metal is a heavy as gold and, to all appearances, is the precious metal itself. It can be manufactured at a cost of about GO cents a pound and will make the best founda tion for gold-plated goods that can be found. It is easily worked, and can be either hammered or drawn. The metal is no compound, it being only one kind, reduced to its gold-like appearance by the application of certain chemicals. Tho inventor says'therc is no use taking out a patent, as no one can discover tho secret of its manufacture by analyzing it. A St. Louih jeweler outwitted his landlord in a rather unique fashion. He desired to move, but was compelled to pay a full month's rent of $200, be cause he had not given the required thirty days notice, lie consulted a lawyer, but was assured that tho claim was valid. "I can use the store, can I not?" he asked. "Certainly," said the lawyer. His stock had nearly been moved to tho new store, but the re maining occupant of the store, who was the landlord, was much surprised when the jeweler returned with a belect as sortment of four dozen cheap alarm clocks. These the owner set to suit himself and then went out for a walk. Then the alarm clocks began to go off one after the other. Tho landlord was almost frantic with the noise, and he hunted up tho jeweler and tendered him his money in return, but the jewe'er did not want to be out the price of the clocks so he drove a sharp bargain, ac cepted $300 and moved out. A young man who possessed a knowl edge of chemistry happened some years ago to be in the northern penin sula of Michigan. While thero he ob served that the Portage ltiver and Lake Linden were of a copper color, and, when he asked the cause, was told that it was copper that had escaped from the smelting and stamping mills of the Calumet and Hecla mines. The young man donned his thinking cap, and then requested the company to allow him to experiment with a view of saving this copper. The company was only too glad to offer facilities. So the young man gave up his summer vacation and set to work, and was able to devise a method by which about 4 per cent, of the copper miucd was saved, and al most pure copper, too.

Some years ago a mechanic, riding in a rail way train, was jolted and jarred as in early days of railway travel passengers were apt to be.

Captain Forrest, of Keokuk County, Iowa, gavQ answer to the above at n re cent agricultural institute, summing up his experience as follows: "Sheep rais ing has been more profitable than cattle in the last six years. Six years ago lust spring wc bought $403 worth, and in the latter part of the winter nve years ago we bought $4,000 worth, making a total of $803. In that time we have sold over $1,000 worth of Wool and mutton, have about $ 1,300 on hand, leaving a gain of about $3,H)0. We calculate that if we have $1,000 in tho fall that in tne year, in two installments, we will get our money out, leaving us the next full with as many sheep to sturt in again. You should always cut out the old and fatter ones and sell for mutton, leaving the youn and most desirable ones. I know a man who keeps about 100 sheep, who says he has experimented by paying $13 for a steer cult and $13 for ewes, and I when the steer matured and was ready ' for market be had cash enough from , sale of wool and mutton to buy the steer uud his $13 worth of sheep left as clear gain. It took no more feed or russ for the sheep than for the steer." J. W. Pollock, an Ohio sheep-raiser, argues the following propositions: 1. That more wool ought to be (jrowu and more mutton produced by the farm ers of the United Stutes; and 2, that more of the farmerB ought to engage in theso legitimate and profitable indus tries. If the first is proved the second will naturally follow. In support of these propositions A submit three rea sons: 1. More farmers should keep sheep because it would be profitable; it would pay. 2. It is a duty wc owe each ) sary, and but littlo attention otherwise other. 3. It is a duty we owe to our , is needed until tho chicks aro twenty country; it would ho patriotic in tho four hours old.

If the wool to clothe ourselves. It is mother is lousy, as is apt to bo the case, estimated that about 9,000,000 of our ! if care in a very special manner has not people are engaged in agricultural pur suits, and that there nre about 1,000,000 farms in the United States, and perhaps almost as many farmers or laud owners, Statistics tell us that not more than 1,020,000, or less than one-fourth of all the farmers in the United Stales, nre engaged in tho wool-growing industry, and that of the nearly 3,000,000 farms only about one-fourth have sheep kept on them. If sheep were kept in small flocks on every farm tho wool growers would number 5,000,000 instead of 1.000, 000 voters. Instead of flocks being scattered all overthe country they ought to be consolidated all over the country. My proposition is that wo have more flocks and not moro sheep moro flocks that wo may produce more wool and mutton, and that we may grow better wool and mutton. The highest grades of wool and the best quality of mutton in the world are the products of the small flocks in tho United Stutes. As a nation we boast of our ability to feed 00,000,000 of people and have a surplus for the foreign trade. why not clothe our own people as well as iced tucmr lhu farmers country ought by all means to of this . grow a sumcient amount ot wool to supply our own mills, and thus encourage tho home manufacture of our American wool. THE STOCK-KANCU. KxperlmentH in Swinn Fred ins. In the sixth annual report of the Wis consin Experiment Station, Professor Henry makes the following deductions from the results of experiments to de termine the effects of various foods upon hogs: 1. For the market price or cost of production, Indian corn is beyond all comparison the cheapest single-food ar ticle for hoes. 2. Hogs will live a long time and make a fair gain upon an ex clusive corn ration. .. When kept upon such a ration they growjpiito fat, but when yet small, have the lorm and appearance of mature hogs, being dwarfed in size. 4. When kept upon corn ration, with or without ashes, if kept in the pen, hogs seem satisfied; af ter eating they lie down in apparent comfort to await tho next meal. 5. The carcass of tho hog on corn ration con tains more fat and less water than does the carcass of tho hog on mixed ration. (J. The carcass of the hog on corn ration may contain a quarter less muscle or lean meat than that ou mixod ration. 7. Hogs, on corn ration havo less blood in their bodies than those on mixed ration. 8. The liver of bogs on corn ration weighs less than that of the bogs on mixed ration. 0. The kidneys of hogs on corn ration are smaller than those of hogs on mixed ration. 10. Tho skeleton of thejhog on corn ration is lighter than that of the hog on mixed ration. 11. The hide of the hog on corn ration weighs less than that of the hog on mixed ration. 12. The hair of the hog on corn ration may be less than that of tho hog on mixed ration. l:i. The boueb of the hog ou corn ration have much less strength than those of tho bog on mixed ration. 11. Hogs living on com meal, water and salt, did not seem to have their bones strength ened bv feeding well water, instead of rain water. 15.

Ho&s fed ou ground bone or hard wood ashes had the ash material of their bones about double in nmouut, ground bones giving better results than wood ashes. 17. Hogs living on corn meal, salt, and water, when fed ground bone or ashes, drank more water, con sumed more food, and made much heavier gains than thoso not getting ! bone or ashes. 18. There was no iu- , crease or muscie wan tne nogs on corn j ration getting ground bone or hard , wood ashes, over those on the same reed getting no ground bone or ashes. ' U, w bile the body of the hog, perfect , or imperfect, is the result of inheritance, it can be greatly modified bv the food given. THE HAIKV. Milk Krconli WUliout,t;rln It is often asserted that the large quantities of milk produced by thor oughbreds of milking strains are due rather to good feeding than to the breed. It is true that good breeders nre gener ally good feeders as well. It pavsthem to be. The advantage ot a good milking ' strain consistsinthefactth.it it will con- ! sume a fall ration and make the best possible use ot it. This is the wav bv ' ""'u me pusBiumitcH ui initKers are cultivated and increased. But when the milking trait is fully established, cows which are naturally good milkers will do more with poor rations than will animals lesB carefully bred.

The cow for the dairy, no less than nnimais intended lormakiUL' beef, needs to be a hearty feeder. Iu fact, there is greater necessity-, since the production of a large yield of milk demands stronger digestive powers thin are re quired to lay on fiit. Ifatalf is con stitutionally a poor feeder, do not try to make a cow of it, for it will be a disap pointment. But make sure before turn ing the calf over to the butcher that the fault is its rather than your own. Poor feeding, either by irregularity or dis- Jroportioned rations, weakens the igestive organs. The most common mistake in feeding calves with other than milk is in giving too rich food, and that containing too little material for making growth. Oat meal is excel lent, especially if the coarse parts are removed, and it is then cooked. But after the calf is three or four months old it should be given as great a variety as possible. If early accustomed to eat anvtbing set before it, the habit will las't through life, and a cow thus reared will be invalsahle for families keeping only one anirJ!; to which all the eata ble refuse from"' the kitchen, including the warm dishwuler and skimmed milk. may be given. If a cow is thus trained to cat anything she will improve net dairy qualities, and transmit these char acteristics to her young. THE POULTKV-tAHD. Car In Raisins; Poultry. J. M. Rico, of Christian County Mo., contributes the following to the Prac tical Farmer: Most farmers read the poultry journals or articles on poultry in our farm papers with a great many mental reservations, especially when the question of profit is treated. As a general rulo tho condi tions as to market are not so favorable on the farm as it is to those who consti tute the majority of our poultry writers. They are generally breeders "of thor oughbred stock and live close to tho best markets, devote their whole time to the business and havo the "inside" as to both quality and prices. But aside from these we judge tlio difference in profits is accounted for principally in the question of care. We often hear it said if wo only got the prices" of some supposed favored locality "then wo could make it pay Inrgely." But they forget that generally where large prices are received, h;rge expenses in raising uro found. Now tho most pertinent points in care at this season of the year are the care in setting the hens ami of tho chicks until they are at least a mouth old. The common faults nre set ting hens where they are constantly dis turbed by tho laying ones; not examin ing tho eggs to see if they are fertile, resulting in a comparatively small hatch and many of these killed in tho nest. The littlo chicks recoivo tho vermin from the mother, weakening if not de stroying many of them; they are trailed about in the dew, caught out in many showers, in fact the disasters to the j-ouug chicks are legion in numbers. Now first, the nest boxes should bo so arranged that they can be slipped from the laying room through tho partition into a quiet apartment, where nothing hut tho other setting hens and tho at tendant enters. Hero feed and water with other necessaries are kept, and , only an occasional outing is ever neces been given to house nud fowls, put as much kerosene, or it and lard mixed, on the heads of the chicks ts will ad- j here to the forefinger in two or three . dippings, as you take them Irom tho nest to the coop. Without the mother i is a very careful one, it is better to keep . them confined in a coop in a dry place, , frequcntlv moving it, and in all cases j they should be cooped during tho morn ings, nights, r.ml in wet and cold weather. By giving them at least this much care, the per cent, of loss may bo reduced vcrv much. It would bo profit able as causing thought mi tin's subject of per cent, of loss to keep a rocord of eggs set, chicks li.'it-litd, and chicks raised. Wo judge you would be sur prised and begin t plan for a more careful mungement. TUK IIOUSKflOI.1.
