"Asked you to?" echoed the malignod parrot's owner, shocked at the apparent fik "Why. Hilly!" "Well, she did." Hilly insisted; and just then Polly, cheered by the presence of her mistress, spoke up and confirmed him. "Pretty Polly," she croaked, genially. "Polly wants a cracker. Crack err! Pretty Toll ! "There!" said Hilly. "And I didn't give it to her for ever so long, 'cause I knew I'd have to fire it for her, if she can talk. Hut she kept right on, and father always says to oblige a lady!"

Haxhorns, so called after a famous Belgian family named Sax, who invented nnd introduced these instruments' about the middle of the last century, are the mainstay of all modern brass bands. They are manufactured In many different sizes, from high soprano to the huge cor.trabass or bombardon, and the nost important of the lot Is the euphonium, which supplanted the now obsolete "serients" and ophlcleides. The tallest saxhorn ever made stands eight feet high and contains more than forty feet of tubing. The advantage of seamless or "solid drawn" tubes tor such Instruments as trombones and horns is considerable, since, no matter how good the joint may be, sooner or later the action of the breath will wear away the solder. To bend these thin brass tube's without splitting or denting the metal was at one time very difficult, but, thanks a most ingenious artifice, the operai Is now both safe and simple. The Ute Is first washed out with a chemical sutistance, such as is used by plumbers to prevent seilder from adhering where it is not wanted, and it is then completely tilled with molten load poured in from a ladle. Thus supported from within, the brass is easily ard safely font to the required shape, the lead l-ting afterward removed by heat. Pearson's. DIDN'T KNOW CofTee the 'mie.

"The taste of coffee was in my mouth all the time and was, as I found out later, the cause of the stomach rebelling against food. "I now see that It was only frem following the example of my elders that I formed and continued the miserable habit of drinking coffee.

3T- - Itntlon In rtref rro:lurtion. Sonn of the gv'iiera! eon-!usions ärawn from tests in rations for Invf production by the Nebraska Station follow : "Alfalfa hay with corn alone rives large and protitnble gains. "The use of well-cured corn stover with alfalfa and corn, while it may not produce larger gains, will make the gains less costly because of its low market value, thereby increasing the i'trolits over corn and alfalfa alone. . "The results of two e.p rlmcnts Indicate that linseed meal is a little more valuable than wheat bran for supplementing corn when fed with prairie hay :r corn stover. "When alfalfa is made at least half f the roughness with prairie hay or ?orn stover, grtnd gains may lo made and at less cost than when no alfalfa is feel, the protein being supplied by the use of linseed meal. In other words, it is possible to grow protein on the farm at a price much below what it will cost on Uie market in the form of force commercial protein food. "The results of a single experiment In which but little more than half a full feed of e-orn was supplied two lots of fattening steers suggest the possibility of making a larger u;e of ,hay in finishing cattle for market than is ordinarily made and at less cost, espocially where hay is relatively low and corn high in price. "From a commercial point of view the results of this entire series of experiments go to show that cattle feeding ?an be made profitable when discretion is used in the selection of foods for the ration." Condlinental Stock Food". Data regarding the character of the Ingredients In condlmental stock foods, the results obtained In feeding tests with such materials, and formul is for making such foods at home are su:nmarizeel In a Wisconsin bulletin. The author's conclusions follow: Stock foods are of no benefit to healthy animals when fed according to manufacturers' directions either as to 'nereasing the 'digestibility of the feed aten or rentlerlng It more effective for production of meat, milk, wool, etc. They are of no benefit as a cure-all for diseases of the various classes of live stex-k ; neither de they possess any particular merit in case of sidfi? dis?ases, or for animals out of condition, off feed, etc., since only a small proportion of ingredients having medicinal value Is found therein, the bulk of the foods consisting of a filler which posFesses no medicinal properties whatever. Exorbitant prices are charged for these fooels, as Is natural, considering the extensive advertising the manufacturers are doing, and the liberal commisslems which they pay agents and dealers. The large sales of stock foods are doubtless mainly to bo attributed to these facts. Hy adopting liberal system of feeeling farm animals and furnishing a variety of feeds, good results may be obtained without resorting to stock foods of any kind. If a farmer believes It is necessary to feed stock fexds at times, he can purchase the Ingredients at a drug store and make his own stock foods at a fraction of the ist charged for them by the manufacturers. He will then have the additional satisfaction of knowing Just what he is feeding, and of feeding a concentrated "ft md" instead of one largely diluted with nonmedicinal Ingredients. Alfalfn. Alfalfa Is not the name of a particular brand of political "n.w thought" in the Prairie States, as certain lenlghted Masterners have supposed. Nor is it the name of an Indian trile. The word comes from the same language whence we g't algebra, alchemy, alcohol and a host of other substantives. It is good Arabic, and means the Inst fodder. The Spaniards iutroduettl th?? name and the thing into the Western Hemisphere, and some of It is supposed to have come up to us from Obi Mexico a long while ago. In Its successful cultivation began in the West, when seed was brought to San Francisco from Chili. The East ought to know more about alfalfa than it does, for it has been wrestliug with the problem of growing It for 'more than two centuries. Hut the colonists called It "lucern," a name they, got from England, and by any name they called it It refused to grow In paying quantity. Hefore their time the world had long known alfalfa. It ?eems to hive originated in the southwest of Central Asia. When the Persian, Xerxes, led his big army into Greece in l!K Ii. C, Ik brought the alfalfa along to provide, in the thoroughgoing Oriental commissary fashion, the fera;e for his horses. Alfalfa got Into Italy in the first century of our era. and as the monograph by J. M. Westgate, published by the Department of Agriculture, states: "Sueli early Koman writers as Virgil and Pliny give what may still be regarded is excellent instructions regarding the handling of alfalfa tioli.s:, Which brings us to the plant Itself. Says this same document: "It may brief!' Ik? descrilted as Udng a deeirooted, long-lived, herbaceous forage plant, belonging to tl.o botanical family loffuminosae. or penl bearing plants." It resembles clover, and Its chief peculiarity is a lap root often extending 1." feet or more into the soil. This is why it nourishes in the semiarid regions of the West; it sinks Its root down where moisture may be found. That Is one reason it des not flourish in the more humid Käst, with its sourer soils. Only in the limestone belt, of i'entral New York are th.-re, In all the East, single count its where as many as a thousand acres are d"voted to alfalfa. The reed that Xerxes brought along with him as an afterthought when he crossed the Ho pliorus has had a more lasting effect on the ibstinies of mankind than the invasion which tbe (! reeks rolled back at Thermopylae, 'alainis and Piatea.- New York Mail.

i of draft : animals in the sugar district get this food either alone or mixed with oats and corn. The niiimajs seem to like It and are thrifty and in good condition. Sugar mules, as they nre called, bring from 20 to 2ö per cent more than mules kept on cotton plantations and fed cotton seed or cotton-wed meal. As molasses is a waste product in the manufacture of sugar, it is a very cheap feed and a valuable one. Mixed with corn and oats in equal proportions p. ml pressed into a solid mass, the rakes become quite hard. After they are thoroughly dried out they are ground into a fine powder and this powder is used as feed. Horses and mules fed on molasses not only keep fat and sleek, but are capable of hauling extraordinary heavy loads. I'eediiiK Mors. Professor Dietrich of the Illinois Experiment Station devotes his whole time to the study and teaching of swine husbandry, and he says the average market hog should weigh öl) pounds at s months of age. For the pig 2 to 0 months old protein is the most important feed. Without protein it cannot build up the Icau meat or grow to any size. Protein is found in sklmmllk, clover and alfalfa. Corn is nine-tenths carbohydrates. Oats have a little more protein than corn, but not sullkieut for the pig. Eye contains a little more protein than does corn. Harley is one of the best feeds en the fan; it contains more protein than does rye. In clover and alfalfa there is a large bulk for the required nutriments and pigs cannot get enough for a maximum growth. Even if you have corn and clover It :e still necessary for the youug pig to have some protein food cowpeas, soy beans or Canada field peas. There is nothing better grown on the farm to balance up the ration. Rape Is a bulky feed for fattening, and it Is necesrary to use nitrogenous feed with it. If you feed clover hay in racks th? pigs will not eat as much of it as if it were chopped up as finely as possible, scalded with steam and mixed with slop. You can buy middlings (low-grade Hour) ; It has protein, but not enough. Tankage meat and blood meal are very much richer than shorts. Perhaps the most concentrated nitrogenous fotnl we have Is tankage. It was found by test that CO per cent tankage contained about 10 Ier cfit of digesting protein. There Is dagger in feeding too much protein; It is worse than feeding too little. During the last two months of the fettling period carbohydrates or fattening feeds are of greater importance. We must use feeds that are eligestlble like corn, wheat, flour or middlings, but bran is practically indigestible for the pig. Oil cake contains as much protein as middlings and ranks with meal, blenxl meal or oil meal; the last is ierhaps better because it contains much ether extract. It Is much better to mix the feeds than to feed com at one time, and something else at another time. Otherwise the pigs are liable to get too much of the protein feed, lose their appetite for corn and become stunted for their lives. SALT AS A PANACEA. Some of the Mans- and Varied Vmrm to AVhlch It In Put. Salt can almost be regarded as a panacea, so many and varied are Its uses, says the Family Doctor. We are told that It cleanses the palate and furred tongue, and a gargle of salt and water Is often efficacious. A pinch of salt on the tongue, followed ten minutes afterward by a drink of cold water, often cures a sick headache. It hardens gums, makes teeth white and sweetens the breath. Cut flowers may be kept fresh by adding salt to the water. Weak ankles should be rubbed with a solution of salt, water and alcohol. Had colds, fever and kindred affections may be much relieved by using fine dry salt like snuff. Dyspepsia, heartburn and Indigestion are relieved by a cup of hot water In which a small spoonful of salt has brvn melted. Salt and water will sometimes reviv--an unconscious person when hurt if brandy er other remedies are not at hand. Hemorrhages from ttmth pulling Is stopped by filling tho mouth with salt and water. Weak and tired eyes are refreshed by bathing with warm water and salt. Many public speakers and singers use a wash of salt and water before and after using the voice, as It strengthens the organs ef the throat. Salt rubbed into the scalp or occasionally added to the water In washing prevents the hair falling out. Feathers uncurled by damp weather aro quickly dried by shaking ver a fire in which salt lias lccn thrown. Salt 'should always be eaten with nuts, and a dessert fruit salt should bt especially made. The Corn Crib. Tue corn crib should le narrow and slatted on the sides and ends so that a fN-e circulation of air is possible in all directions.

HOME IN A LONDON "SLUM."

M rat Keir llnnlle Fancifully So I ) -n I k im t - 111m I'lare of Ilenidenre. Labor M. P.'s live, as a rule, where they can get the all-night service of :-ounty council tram cars. These enable them to spend their nights in pleasant, healthy London suburbs. Kair Ilardie alone has a fancy for dwelling in what he has called a city slum. I think the phrase a nettv af fectation. says a writer in the Manchester Chronicle. Neville's court, E. C, at Xo. 11, in which the labor leader lives, has a distinctive existence, marking it out from any portion of any of Londons slum lands. Personally, it strikes nie as quite a pleasant quarter, where one I may study a communal existence as complete and as isolated as that. of a country within. It is a finished entity ! a town within a town and London j indeed might Ie no more than fields ! around it. ! A suburb of Neville's court is the 'dingy (lough square, where the AmeriI ca-i visitor, after a pilgrimage to the Cheshire Cheese, where Dr. Jo'.in.-- n j ate and drank, comes to see where 1 Johnson slept. The burly doctor must j have many times passed through Nei ville's court on his wav to and from j his home in Cough square. The village j of Neville's Court can hardly have I changed since then. I The court takes no particular inter1 est in Keir Ilardie. I think it resents 1 ... . the imputation that it Is a slum in which the labor M. 1. heroically lives in order to show that he has not risen beyond comradeship with the poor. Xo. 14, In fact, is the most exclusive house, in appearance, in the village. Its garden has, alone, a high wall, and only a furtive glimpse may be had of the wellpreserved old house through the wooden gateway. During most of the year the garden shows bright with flowers, and the house is fresh and pleasant looking. As a slum Neville's court is a rank failure, and at times we meditate making Keir Ilardie amend his impression. Hut as the small shopkeepers gossip" about the thing they conclude that even with Keir Ilardie a certain jrnse is necessary, and the suggestion of dwelling with the workers may be a valuable asset Tmlltlctlly. With the shock of a sudden discovery, Mr. Heusern awoke one day to the fact that the hair was growing thiu on the top of bis head. He ltmketl at himself in a folding mirror, and was horrified to find that there was a bald spot, farther back, as large as a silver dedlar, of which nobody had ever told him. "This will never do!" he said. "I must get that hair back." He began at once. For several months he used a hair 'restorative which was highly commended. It did no good. lie tried another, then another, and still another, but all to no purpose. These preparations had cured many persons of Incipient baldness, according to the testimonials, but none of them had any effect on hi m. As a last resort, he consulted a specialist. The socialist treated him for six months. At the end of that time the hair on top of his head was nearly all gone. "I'll have to hunt tip another one," he said. One morning, while going downtown in a street-car. he observed a stout, prospVrous-looklng gentleman who wore an unmistakable wig on his head. "Who is that man?" he asked of the passenger sitting next to him. 'Don't you know?" said the other. "That's the rich Colonel Stuhbs." "I've often heard of him. They say he is Immensely rich." "Fifty million dollars." Ilitv millions'." reflect eel Mr. RenSOU. "It there was any eartn.y cuie f r ba'dness, he wouldn't he wearn a wig! I'll give It up." A Narrow Kcnpe.

Late one night a clergyman was calleel out to minister to an old man a worker upon the adjacent railway who was supposcxl to be dying. The summons was brought by another old man, the elder brother of the stricken one. While he was bustling about, making preparations for departure, the clergyman forgot momentarily the social status of his visitor and asked, "Is he in extremis?"

" Do you know of any woman who ever received any benefit from taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound?" ' If any woman who is suffering with any ailment peculiar to her sex will ask her neighbors this question, she will be surprised at the result. There is hardly a community in this country where women cannot be found who have been restored to health by this famous old remedv, made exclusively from a simple formula of roots and herbs. During thä past 3 years we have published thousands of letters from these grateful women who have been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and never in all that time have we published' a testimonial without the writer's special permission. Never have we knowingly published a testimonial that was not truthful arfd genuine. Here is one just received a few days ago. If anyone doubts that this is a true and honest statement of a woman's experience with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound write and ask her. . . Houston, Texas. ' When I first began taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I was a total wreck. I had been sick for three years with feinalo troubles, chronic dyspepsia, and a liver trouble. I had tried several doctor's medicines, but nothing did me any good. ; "For three years I lived on medicines and thought I would never get well, when I read an advertisracnt of Lydia C Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and was advised to try it. "My husband got me one bottle of the 'Compound, and it did me so much good I continued its use. I am now a well woman , and enjoy the best of health. ; "I advise al! women suffering from such troubles to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. They won't regret it, for it will surely cure you." Mrs. Bessie L. Hicks, 810 Cleveland St., Houston. i Any woman who is sick and suffering is foolish surely not to give such a medicine as this a trial. Why should it not do her as much good as it did Mrs. Hicks.

EXTRAORDINARY INCREASE ISLAND VALUES. Southern Alberta la a Mlffhtr ood Country. Xo stronger or better evidence can be given of the merits of a country than that which comes from the testimony of the settler who has determination to succeed. This is why we reproduce the following letter, which 61eaks for itself. These people were induced to go to Western Canada through the solicitation of a Canadian Government agent, who secured for them low railway rates. Carmangay, Altä., Canada, Dec. 15, 'OS. ilr. C. J. Eroughton, Canadian Government Agency, 135 Adams street, Chicago : ' We had audacity enough to tackle the proposition of buying four sections of land in Southern Alberta, thirty miles east of Clairsholm, and heading up on the Little Bow, and our two boys each got a homestead adjoining. We fenced three sections and the two homesteads and built a house, barn, corrals and granary and have since enlarged some of these buildings. We have broken 200 acres of land, which has been sowed to oats and wheat. During the severe winter of two years ago the winter wheat killed out somewhat and our crop yielded only ten bushels to the acre, but the spring wheat went L4 bushels to the acre. In this country we must be prepared for storms and cold, at times, 20 to 30 below zero, yet on the whole the winters are mild ; and while there are exceptional crops, it is fair to spy that the average farmer can depend on having a yield In average years of from 20 to 25 bushels to the acre for spring wheat; and winter wheat in our Immediate neighborhood yields from 2T to 'M bush els to the acre on the average. We have now quite a bunch of horses, over 00 in all, about S50 sheep, after having sold 140 for mutton this fall. We have 20 head of pure bred registered Shropshire, which are worth 20 eacii. The average price received for mutton sheep was .$5.00 and a little over. I'ork brings 5 and 0 cents a pound. We have about 30 head of cattle on our ranch now, and last winter they picked their entire living from our pasture, running; to tlie straw stacks for shelter at night. The increase of laud valu? has been extraordinary. Our land four years ago cost us a little less than f0.00 nn acre. We have sold one section for $15.00, but we would not sell any more for less than $25.00 per acre, as we expect the railroad within four miles of our ranch within the next IS months. Southern Alberta of Western Canada Is a mighty good country for any man or woman who loves outdoor lh'e and who wants to get good returns for their lalor and Investment. We have been pleased with our treatment from tlie Canadian government and can heartily commend Southern Alberta as a splendid country in which to locate. Yours very truly. (Signed) JAMES S.
