He had run in debt for it, for said ho:

'cause she didn't get the eggs 'fore din

family."
Between the store and home was a
large piece of newly cleared land that
consisted mostly of stumps. As Mr.
Spinner, in trying to miss one, tumbled
headlong over another, he muttered:
"la this blamed field wherever there
ain't one stump, there's two of 'em."
In this fall the turkey flopped itself
loose, and for the next hour played "hide
and seek" with him. Once he thought
he had it, but making a livoly spring, ho
tripped and fell, catching a black-jack
sapling instead of the turkey.
-Well, if this don't beat my time,"
said he; -don't know what M'randy'll
say, bnt it's the gospel truth, there's
more stumps than turkeys in this 'ere
field."
He was nearly exhausted when he
neared homo, and the turkey, now nearly
featherless. dodged in and out among
the girdled trees by tho house, with Mr;
Spinner hopelessly stumbling after it.
But when the door opened he threw his
bundle of eggs at the aggravating bird,
and gasped, -M'randy, I've brought jou
a Thanksgiving turkey."
You hev, hev you? 'Pears to me the
turkey' brought you: s'pose I've got to
get It 'fore I hev it " And after a sud
den bounce into the yard there was a
terrible squawking and scattering of

"There! See what a woman can do!"
And jerking her husband around by his
collar, "Now I want to know where's
them eggs I sent after?"
"Don't, M'randy, don't" oegced tbe
subdued man; "I didn't mean to, but I
flung my handkerchief at that torment,
aa' the eggs was in it ".
"Oh! you you I wish I knew some-

Mr. Spinner followed her Into the

she went out to view her prospect for

from her brought him quickly to ner

"Look! look!" she said, pointing under
the half-raised box, where lay no tur

A DUEL WITH CLAYMORES.
The Fatness fee Key CluUtoaajed
te a
Trial ef SUU.
The far-famed Bob Boy MacGregoi
was confessedly the best swordsman
of his day, says the Scottish Ameri
can. His celebrity for wielding the
claymore excited McNeil of Barra to
visit him for the express purpose of
trying his prowess. Barra was a
gentleman possessing the qualities
that endear a chief to his clan, with
the accomplishments which confer
acceptability in polished circles. On
arriving at Bob Boy's house the Mao
Neil chieftain found he was at Buch
anan attending a market, and thither
he repaired. He met several gentle
men on horseback on their way home,
and, accosting the nearest, begged to
know if Bob Boy was still At the 'fair.
Who inquires for Bob Boy?" in
quired a voice more remote.
NacNell of Barra," said the chief.
Bob Boy approached, announcing
himself, and, after exchanging salutes,
Barra said:
I have heard Bob Boy extolled as
the best swordsman of our times, and
have come a long journey to prove
whether he or I deserve that com
mendation."
"Chieftain of Barra," said Bob Boy,
I never sought a quarrel with any
man; and if it please you to think
yourself the better swordsman I have
no objection to your opinion."
This Is the language of fear," said
Barra.
Who dares to speak of fear to Boh
Boy MacGregor?" said MacOregor.
"Dismount, sir, and see if I'm afraid."
The chivalrous encounter immedi
ately commenced, and Bob Boy found
Barra nearly his match, but after
much dexterous play he wounded tbe
chieftain in the sword arm, so that he

1. Chant who usu
ally replenishes
nis stock once a
week takes from
the amount of
bis sales a sum
sufficient to pay
his expenses, and
invests the re
mainder in more
goods. If he can
buy more goods
than he has sold,
he usually docs
so, limiting him
self only by the
probable de
mands of his trade, and the capacity
of his warehouse to store the Roods.
If he did not or could not do this he
would find his trade falling off, and
customers leaving him until he might
justly complain that his business was
not profitable, and would not give
him a comfortable support.
But, says the American Cultivator,
how many fanners follow this method?
Do they, when their cash in hand ex
ceeds their expenses, invest it again
in the business that they best under
stand, and strive to be limited only
by the productive capacity of their
land F.nd stock, or do they place it in
some savings bank, where there are
high-salaried officials to guard it, and
to invest' it for them? Do they buy
bonds and stocks and shares in vari
ous companies, of whose management
they have neither knowledge nor
share?
Do they buy more land while that
which they already own is only
partially productive, because of in
sufficient expenditure of capital upon
it? Do they expend it for showy resi
dences, while their barns arc incon
venient and unfit for the proper
stabling of their stock? Do they buy
fine buggies when they have not good
working carts upon the farm, pianos
when they have more need of plows,
and cover their house floors with
costly carpets, while their fields are
barren from a lack of a sufficient cov
ering of manure.
Probably very few farmers are
guilty of all these mistakes in the
use of their capital, and there arc but
few who are free from all of them or
similar ones. It is true that the
farmer and the farmer's y4amlly
should have a right to all the con
veniences and many of the luxuries
enjoyed by the successful merchant,
but neither have a clear title to them
unless successful, and neither can at
tain a high grade of success if he does
not have sufficient capital in his busi
ness to conduct it properly, and each
should have a reserve fund in the
bank for emergencies when he can.
But he should use it when it will pay
in the business an interest fourfold
that paid by the bank.
When a thoroughbred or a high
grade cow will make a hundred'
dollars' worth jof butter, in a year, and
a scrub cow only makes forty dollars'
worth, while it costs but little more
to feed one thanr the other, money
invested in improved breeds of cows,
or in a pure male from which to raise
up a herd of grades, will pay better
returns to thedairymen than can
be obtained from bank stock or rail
road shares or Western farm mort
gages. When a small extra investment in
better seeds and more liberal manur
ing will increase the crop without in
creasing the labor of cultivation will
make an increase in the money re
turn four times as great as the. ex
penditure; when better tools will save
their cost in one season's labor, while
with care they will do good work for
five or ten years, then is the time
when the farmer can make money by
spending money.
When the expenditure of $25 or 935
per acre for tile drains will enable a
field that now yields less than 810
worth of poor grass a season to pro
duce $35 worth of the best, and fit it
for the growth of any crop that will
yield profitable returns, it is economy
to spend money, and so it is when a
similar sum or a smaller one will so
renovate an old pasture which now
only feeds about one cow upon six
acres, so that it will give more teed
and better for six times that number.
In short, every farmer should see
for himself the manner in which he
could improve his land, his buildings,
animals, tools or methods of work
ing, so that a dollar invested will be
placed at a better rate of interest
than any one else will pay him for ty.
If he doubles the producing capacity
of his land, it is better than it would
be to double the number of acres,
and if he spends his money judiciously,
and uses good judgment in managing
his business afterward, he has not
lost his money, but has changed an
idle dollar that only earned 5 cento
in a year for a lively one that will
earn 25 cents. And when he has
made such improvements that his
business is up to its full capacity, or
to the measure of his capacity as a
manager, than he may indulge in the
luxuries of lifaand may deliver over
his surplus profits to the bankers and
the speculators, to take care of or to
lose for him as he may choose.
LIVE STOCK.
Teed lac rampklas te Boga,
jfhe National Stockman says: The
farmer who is so fortunate as to have
a good supply of pumpkins has a valu
able food in them as a part ration for
his fattening hogs. It is claimed by
some that hogs will fatten on them
as their only food. We would not
care to risk the statement so far as to
undertake to fit a lot of hogs for mar
ket with them. We would feed as
many each day as the hogs would eat
up clean, and then give them all the
corn they would consume besides.
Young hogs with a ration of pumpkins
each day will stand a much longer
feeding on corn alone. There can be
no doubt that the mixed ration will
be much better assimilated than the
corn when fed alone. ' It is a wasteful
way of feeding, to throw but enough
corn or pumpkins, or both atone
time, to last the hogs two or three
days. Their food should be given
them 6weet and clean,. at least twice
a day.
Another plan of feeding pumpkins
to hogs that has been found to produce
excellent results, is to begin early in
the fall, while the fattening bogs are
in the pasture lots, give them all
they will eat as the supply lasts, then
begin with corn,
Pumpkins alone will fatten hogs
quite rapidly, but the irk from such
feeding i soft an: n. ih'sirable, and
needs a finishing with corn to make
it fliBtrClass.
fi I
UfJiL.
Pumpkins are cheaper than corn-
besides being a specially health giving
food, hence the fat and flesh added in
the beginning is more economically
produced and the profits proportion
ally increased;
The Dairy
Keep Eeeaeaaleal Cew
The cow for economy is one that
from a quantity of feed will produce
the most and best milk or butter.
This cow will not be anv larger than
is necessary to do her work and she
will not store up a lot of fat that will
be of no particular use to her owner.
She will cat much more feed than
a wasteful cow; but here one point
showing her real economy comes in;
while she cats more feed she gives a
larger per cent, in return than the
wasteful cow. and if we take a herd
of economical cows and compare it
with a larger herd of wasteful ones
we will only have to furnish the food
of support for the smaller herd while
we get as much milk or butter as the
larger herd gives. The difference be
tween keeping a herd of economical
cows and a wasteful herd may be the
difference between profit and loss; it
certainly will be a difference of a wide
margin in .the profits. The best is
the cheapest, whether it be cows,
feed or care, and the economical cow
is the best cow no matter what her
breed may be or whether she is of any
breed; for dairy work alone we must
look to the individuality of each cow.
Stockman and Farmer.
Dairy MoUia,
Calves fed milk like a drink of
water occasionally.
Provide a regular supply of salt
for your cows. Let them help them
selves. If the cow's teats get scratched or
cracked grease them after each milk
ing. We believe a regular time for milk
ing is more important than a regular
milker.
Cream that stands till there is a
green mould over it can never pro-duccgilt-cdgc
butter.
Remember that the eye often con
demns butter that would be relished
if put in neat packages.
In practice, one of the chief uses of
the milk tester is to mark the un
profitable cows for the butcher.
A scant supply of milk fresh from
the cow is a never-failing cure for
scours in calves fed upon skim milk.
Don't bo surprised that you do not
get as much cream as your neighbor
though your cows are the same breed
as his, if yours are on slough pasture
and his are on tame grass, fed hay J
and some grain. Feed has much to
do with the quality of milk.
THE POULTRY-YARD.
Why Cni Spoil.!
Eggs spoil of ineffectual attempt to
hatch. Whenever a fertilized egg is
raised to a temperature of 92 degrees
the hatching process begins, and
when the temperature falls much be
low tnis point the process ceases.
After three or four alterations of this
kind the embryo chick dies, and" the
rotting process begins. Now it is
evident that if the eggs were not fer
tilized the hatching would not begin,
neither would the rotting, and hence
there would be an absence of rotten
eggs. The remedy, therefore, is to
prevent fertilization of the eggs, and
this can be secured by the destruc
tion of the rooster.
Every rooster not intended especi
ally for breeding should be killed or
sold to the huckster as soon as big
enough to cat. Not over one rooster
should be kept on any farm, and that
one cooped and mated with not to
exceed ten hens, and the eggs from
those hens should be kept or sold ex
pressly for hatching. The other hens
should be kept especially for cegs for
market or table use, and no rooster
should ever be allowed among them.
On the ordinary farms about one
tenth of the fowls are roosters, which
is about nine times as many as there
can be any possible use for.
Unfertilized eggs are much sweeter
and better for table use, and will
keep from two to four times as long
as fertilized' ones. Hens not
kept with roosters will lay louger and
set less than others. It is safe to
say that in the United States alone
there arc 20,000,000 roosters, and that
19,000,000 of them area positive and
expensive nuisance, except for the
table at the right time. If these
roosters were killed and their places
supplied with hens, and each hen
laid 200 eggs per year, the aggregate
would be 3,800,000,000 worth 1 cent
each $38,000,000, every cent of which
would be clear net profit to the far
mer. Stock and Home.
THE HOUSEHOLD.
A Regular Allewaaect
One method would be the granting
to the wife of a stated weekly or
monthly allowance, for the household
and other uses, in proportion to the
income of the husband. To the man
who says, "But I cannot pay my wife
like a servant," the answer must be,
Certainly not." She Is a partner,
and as such is entilted to a share in
the dividends. To the end that she
may make the best use of such moneys
she should know what she is to ex
pect each week. Undoubtedly, the
ideal remedy is perfect trust, confi
dence and a higher moral develop
ment of both men and women; but
while mankind is moving steadily on
to this, the weaker must bealways-go-ing
to the wall for the lack of a pro
tecting hand.
No woman .atught to marry without
having some understanding with her
future husband on this point. She
need not take pencil and make him
set down the exact figures of her
weekly allowance, but should let him
thoroughly understand that she ex
pects one. Any young girl should
beware of the man who considers wo
men irresponsible creatures; for, no
matter how tender and considerate
the master may be, no enlightened
human being is a 6lave. Farmers'

After ntahtfal', a'ong 3,000 mi'es of
the Canadian Pacific Ballroad, no mat
ter how bare the prairie nor how wild or
desolate the mountain or lake shore, aay
one standiag on the rear p'atform can
see every few miles a lantern in the
hands of a track-walker, who, after the
train passes, resumes his.dnty along tho
track. -.
- It Is a rale on this road that after the
passage of each train tin roadway shall
be carefully inspected, and particularly
the bridges for fear that ;omo .'park
f.ora tho lo.omotive may have cet fire to
them Along hundreds of miles be
tween Ottawa and Winnipeg, over tho
prairies of AssJulbuino and Alberta, and
through taa mountain range far west,
the humble hat of thj railroad track
repairer or guard !s o'ton the only hu
man habitation that is seen for lonj
strekhes.
In tbe wild region north of Lake Sa
por or one sees these log cabins every
few miles. Cftcn tho dmployo has a
fatnl y, who lives with him in this al
most uninhabitable country, practically
cut off frt-m human soe'ety.
The log ab'ns are only one story high,
and very low at that There Is no sUn
of a garden near th-'m, abd all supplioi
aro brought by tbo trains.
Sometimes t is neccs-ary for the men
to travel tw.-nty to thirty miles to per
form a task a s'gncd them, and for those
Journeys they use tho railroad bicycle, a
contrivance with two wheels to fit the
rails. A sQat is rigged between them,
and a lever Imparts motion to the small
ccgwhools, which rapidly turn the
wheels on the track.
The men can easily travel twelve to
fiftcon miles an hour on thes? little ma
chines. When thoy hear a train c minr,
off they jump, take their bicycles off
tbe track, and no sooner has the train
passed than they resume the r jonrnoy.
The lives of these railroad hands are
particularly 'oneso:no and unenviable
Tho women who share the solitary lot of
the track-walkers must find II fo ery
dull. If th?y care anything for the co-n
pa.iionitrp of their own sex. Probably
many of them do not see another woman
for six months at a time, except through
the car windows as the trains whiz past

Matrimonial Ctefc House.
A matrimonial club-house is among
recent innovations in a European city.
It is a largo, roomy building, divided in
to several apartments, In one of which
portraits of each woman subscriber are
exhibited, with descriptions of her age,
ta ents, fortune, co'or of hair, eyes, eta,
si e of hands and fcot, and mcasure
irents of tho busts, and general con
tour. Thcro is also a brief account of
her life
In another room are the portraits of
men candidates for connubial bliss
A general reading room provides a
medium for mutual moet'ng, and Is pre
side I .ver by an ancient dame who knits
Interminable stockings. There are a'so
private rooms fcr more confidential tete
a tetes.
Ono of tho curious rules of the place
is that ladies only may enter the room
where tho men's portraits are, and men
only are admitted to tho women's gallery-
They must meet in the common
room. Tho establishment Is conducted
on moral principles, and the number of
matches on its books approximate 1,000.
Wonderful Strength of Fleas.
Fleas aro possessed of great strength.
Mou Act tells of a mechanic who made a
gold chain live inches in length which a
pet flea could easily drag about on any
smooth surface. Vigley writes of a
watchmaker on the Strand, London,
who had an Ivory four-wheeled chariot,
with a coachman on the box, all of
which was drawn with ease by his
trained Ilea, "Dick." Tho same man
afterwards made a carriage with six
horses, a coachman, four persons in
side, two footmen behind, and a postil
ion on one of the horses, all drawn by a
single flea.
Latriclla mentions a flea which
dragged a silver cannon of twenty-four
tin-.c- its own weight, and showed no
fear when tho tiny piece was charged
with gunpowder and lircd oil. Kcne
also says that he once saw thrco (leas
dra? an omnibus, a pair dragging a
chariot, and a single one pulling a brass
cannon mounted on wheels.
