THAT ALARM CLOCK

It was always the hardest thing In the world for me to do to wake up early. I consulted with and opened my heart to a friend of the name of Snapper. Snapper suggested that I buy an alarm clock. I took Snapper’s advice and bought one. The man who sold it gave me lessons in operating it without extra charge. I could see through it likp a hole in a board fence. All you had to do was simply to whirl a little wheel-a-ma-gig around until a certain figure pointed to the hour on the dial, the one which you wished to be bounced out at, and everything was serene. I bought that clock in the evening, unbeknown to my family, and, thinking I had a sweet, sure thing on being awakened at the proper hour, I lingered with some friends in front of a Julep reservoir. So it was past 10 when I got home, and everybody was asleep. My angelic mother-in-law had escaped the perils of smallpox, cholera, etc., and had arrived that day to stay with us “for a few days.” Heaven, what a number of days it takes to constitute a “few” with that mother-in-law! Well, her long Journey had tired her out, and she, too, had gone to bed. Entering softly, I deposited my clock on the table that stood at the head of our bed. Then I “set her,” after which I carefully placed myself horizontally In my little bed, making no disturbance, for I dislike lectures, and was soon lost to everything in the shape of fear or anxiety. What a blessed thing sleep Is, especially when you are not afraid and know you are all right about getting up! It will be observed that I pause to moralize. Well, I had really got sleep on the brain. I was tinctured with it clear through. But there Is not the slightest use of moralizing or describing any further, and I will come to the point at once. In the dead watch and middle of the night I was rudely awakened by a fierce and agonizing yell from the partner of my bed. Not only that, but I had the breath nearly knocked out of my body by the said partner throwing herself upon me in her frantic endeavors to get out of that bed. I felt something was loose. As soon as my senses were revived I heard the fearfulest rattle-to-bang-din-gette-dong-sputter-te-elick-whitz-ete-pop mingled with the wild shouts and groans of my wife. I was entirely confounded myself. She yelled “Murder! Thieves! Police!” and, with tottering steps, she made for the adjoining bedroom, where her mother was. I followed in terror myself, for as yet I had not sufficiently come to my senses to know what the deuce it was all about anyhow. That mother-in-law leaped from her dreams, from her bed, and, seeing me tremblingly trying to quiet her daughter, she at once concluded that I was trying to murder her and came for me tooth and nail. Then I shouted; then we all shouted, and the uproar was heard in the street, and murder was thought to be doing. Still that awful racket was kept up In my bedroom. The truth flashed over my mind. I had made a mistake in setting my Alarm clock, and it had “gone off.” I rushed wildly for it. I placed it between the feather bed and the mattress, but still it kept on with its devilish racket. The women also kept up theirs. I seized that clock and rushed to the bathroom and there let a flood of water upon it in the hope of silencing it, but all to no purpose. . While tills confusion, was going on within the police had rapped for assistance and had gained admittance to the bouse. They rushed up to our Bleeping apartments and burst in the door. “What’s up? What’s the row? Where is he?” said one of them. My mother-in-law pointed them to the bathroom, where I -was trying to drown that confounded clock In a tub of water. The officers drew their clubs and pistols and charged upon me. I mounted the tub and pointed to that clock, which was still dinging away like something possessed of the devil. “What Is the meaning of all this row?” I attempted to explain, but the voice of my mother-in-law was heard above all words of mine. “Take him away, officers. He has been trying to murder us both. Take him away!” In the meantime my wife had swooned. One of the officers went for that clock with his club. He smashed it across tho snoot. He welted it in the face. He dislocated Its lower jaw. He crippled its hands. He knocked it out of time, but still it rattled away, and it was not until lie had driven bls No. 12 boot in among Its liver and things that It finally caved in and concluded to stop. Silence being partially restored, I explained to the officers how the whole rumpus was occasioned, and, so far as they were concerned, they were Inclined to laugh at the whole affair and leave us alone, but my frightened mother-in-law protested that I had an undoubted attack of the Jlmjatns, as I had been drinking, she said, and nothing short of my going to the station bouse would satisfy her. Sweet angel of my household! I dressed and went with th'em. I took the remains of that alarm clock with me, and after explaining to the captain all about it nil hands Joined in a hearty laugh and passed the remainder of the night quite pleasantly with a pack of cards and a bottle of wine, but no more alarm clocks for me— not any.—New York News.

FARM AND GARDEN

FEED LOTS. Brick P«ved Varda With Shelter Give Satlafactlon. Muddy feed lots are an unprofitable as .well as disagreeable feature in cattle "feeding, especially when no provision is made for shelter. In a sum-

BRICK PAVED FEED LOT.

mary of replies to a circular of inquiry regarding the methods followed by practical feeders compiled by H. W. Mumford and L. D. Hall of the Illinois experiment station the question ot muddy feed lots was considered. Notwithstanding the fact that the disadvantages of mud and dirt were recognized, only thirty-six of the 500 and more cattle feeders who furnished Information on this point reported definite provisions against such conditions. Of these ten have the surface of feed lots paved or otherwise artificially covered and fifteen use rock, gravel, cinders, bricks, planks, corncobs or sawdust alone and in combination In various parts of the lot—for Instance, about the feed troughs, water tanks, sheds or gates. Ten of the correspondents state that they have made the lots dry enough for feeding purposes by a tile drain, while two report that the yards have been graded and the mud and manure removed by means of dirt scrapers. Several of those who use coal cinders for filling the muddy portion of the lot state that care must be taken to keep them covered with straw, cornstalks.or other bedding material In order to avoid injury to the feet. The first cut shows a brick paved feed lot, with Convenient shelter, water and feeding arrangements, designed to accommodate about fifty cattle, which has given satisfaction. The pavement is 24 by 80 feet and is made of brick laid flat on six inches of gravel packed until solid. The curbing consists of curbstones eighteen inches wide and three inches thick set edgewise. Feed bunks were placed in the shed. The shelter consists of a building 20 by 20 feet, with two wings, both 20 by 30 feet. The upper floor of the middle position is used for storing dry corn fodder, which can be conveniently cut and fed through an open shaft to the feeding bunk below. The second cut is a feed bunk, with platforms for use in a muddy lot, whlcty is inexpensive and has proved satisfactory. Platforms of the sample described were 1G by 6 feet and were

FEED BANKS FOR MUDDY LOTS.

[There are three advantages in the floors. The feeder always has a dry place to walk when puttlhg in feed; the cattle are out of the mud and not in a strained or cramped position while feeding; by having the floors six feet wide all wasted feed and droppings fall upon the floor, and the hogs get all before it is lost in the mud.] made of two inch bridge plank cut six feet long. The feed bunks were made in the usual way-, two feet six inches high, three feet wide and sixteen feet long. Winter Protection For Orchards. One of the most important points in preparing bearing apple trees for winter, in my opinion, is to remove all rubbish that may afford shelter for mice or other vermin, says a writer in American Agriculturist. Be sure there are no declivities at the immediate base of the tree. A slight mounding Is good. At all events leave no hollows that will hold water to freeze at times of sudden falls in temperature, thereby greatly damaging trees. If mice or rabbits are feared, protect with wire netting. Cut with shears into proper sizes, roll around an old broomstick or any round object to give it a circular shape, the stick removed, and the wire will spring around the trunk and hold itself in place. See that all drains are In good order. Economic Position of Farmers. A matter of great Importance in Its bearing upon the increased value of farm lands Is the new economic inde pendence of farmers, fundamentally growing out of their Improved financial condition. Farmers now occupy a strong economic position, founded upon the tendency of the consumption of some Important products to increase faster than population does and upon the tendency of the desires for these products to increase faster than the production does, so that with respect to these products consumption Is close upon the heels of production. Pvnnlnx Trees. Deciduous trees may be pruned at any time after freezing weather sets In, when the sap will all have run'out of the branches. Landscape gardeners, as a rule, leave the pruning of trees and shrubs until February. Care should be taken to coVer all large wounds with gas tar or linseed oil paint to prevent decay.—Country Gentleman.
