A WINNING I KICK. le Lest All His Bets and Made Money by Doing So. The captain of one rather old and slow steamer of years ngo. finding that he wonld have to be a long time in China before he received a full cargo of tea and would have probably to return In ballast, began, to every one's astonishment, to say that, owing to the repairs that had been done to bia engines, he hoped to make a racing passage back to England. Then, still more to the astonishment of the captains of the fast steamers and tbe world at large, be commenced to back himself to make the fastest passage home. ; -:. - In such very considerable sums of money did be wager that people began to think there was something in it, and the merchants sent their tea almost entirely to bis ship, arguing that as the captain stood to lose 250 the repaint to his steamer's engines had probably put bim in a position to bet almost on a certainty. Of course the steamer, whose greatest speed was eight knots an hour, arrived In England weeks after tbe others, and the captain lost 250. but instead of having to lie In China waiting his chance of cargo coming .. in from the interior, a probable delay of weeks, he had cleared in a few days after his bets became known to the public with a full ship, thus recouping to his owners, who, of course, paid bis betting losses, a considerable number of thousands of pounds profit.

It means a condition in which no one disease fully develops, but symptoms of various disorders are present. Pois oned, Impure blood would explain the cause in nine out of ten such cases. It matters not If the blood be poisoned by Inoculation, or by tbe failure of one or more of the important glands of the body to perform their duties, a powerful alterative or blood purifier, is necessary to cleanse it, and In so doing removes the cause. Dr. A. B.

(This matter must not be reprinted wttbt , out special permission. A SMALL GAME. A word of caution may be of help to some who contemplate shipping household goods to western states, particularly those bordering on tbe Pacific. This has reference to including in shipment of "household goods" only those things which are classed as such In the freight schedules, and what these are may be ascertained from tbe agent at the point of shipment ' To Illustrate: Not long since a gentleman who had engaged a through car to the coast after loading his goods thought he would put in two or three tons of baled bay. At the last division point before the car arrived at its destination the car was inspected and additional charges exacted which Increased the freight bill more than $100. Thus instead of being a source of profit tbe small amount of bay shipped cost close to $40 a ton to transport. The lesson was a costly one, but it was well learned. . To the average patron of transportation companies this looks like straining at a gnat and taking advantage of trusting and unsuspecting Immigrants for tbe poorly concealed purpose of picking their pockets. It's a holdup game that does credit to no railroad management, and it goes with out saying that It would not be prac ticed at all in sections where there was even a semblance of competition. It is tricks and sculduddery of this type practiced by some transportation companies that tend to put tbe whole class in disrepute and seem, in fact, to justify the feeling on the part of the payee that transportation companies are holdup institutions and enemies of the public which place full faith in the "public be damned" policy. ' In several other Instances . related the same trick was tried, in one case upon a widow and her daughter, who were easy victims, while in one or two oth er instances a loud "holler" was put up, and the railway officials modified their tactics. THE FARM CENSUS. Beginning April 15 Uncle Sam's census enumerators will not only count the noses of 90.000,000 or more people of the country, but they will want an Inventory of the stuff on every farm of the country. Among other things: the enumerators will want to find out will be: (1) Total value of farm, with ail buildings and improvements; (2) value of all buildings; (3) value of all implements and machinery, including tools, wagons, carriages, harnesses, etc., and all appliance and apparatus used in farming operations; (4) number and value of domestic animals, Including cattle, horses, mules, swine and sheep, classified' by sex and the year in which they were born; (5) number and value of the several varieties of poultry over three months old; (6) number and value of swarms of bees. In estimating the value of the several items listed - the farmer should be guided by the prices which would prevail were the stuff offered for sale. If an inventory of tbe above character Is made out by every landowner In ndvance it would not only save the enumerator and himself time at the busiest season of the year, but such a record would prove very .valuable for reference on later occasions. Instructions which have been prepared for the enumerators state that each operator must confine his report of acreage and yield of crops to land which he is working at the time of the enumerator's visit. Should he be on a farm which he did not work the previous year he should secure a record of the place from the man who did handle It. v THE HOME WATER SUPPLY. The healthfulness prevailing in any home depends in part upon the wholesomeness of the food consumed, but in much larger measure npon the water supply, the purity of which is largely, anectea Dy tne proximity oi contaminating causes, : such ; as the seepage from the barnyards and cesspools. Where it is not feasible to install a toilet system with water tight drainage to a cesspool located at a safe distance from the water supply the most rational equipment for the outhouse is a substantial drawer made of two inch stuff, the contents of which can be killed by the addition of slaked lime from time to time and which can be hauled afield and dumped as often as may be necessary. By such disposal of night soil the danger of a contamination of "the water supply Is reduced to a minimum. We realize that this is not a pleasant subject to dlsenss, but it is practical and vital and concerns chiefly those who are least able to foot heavy doctor's bills. Where a cesspool is already in bad shape conditions may be improved by dumping in half a barrel or so of quicklime, which will put a quietus on any disease germs which may be lurking there. It should then be cleaned out and filled up and a better system installed. The manufacturers of " almost all brands of stock foods realize that stock does not, as a rule, get all the salt they need; hence put In a generous supply of this much relished condiment" On loose, rolling soils alfalfa Is preferable to an annual legume like crimson clover or cowpeas, because when once established ' the soil needs no plowing and but slight harrowing for several years.

the Farmers

The newly set wood lot win do best If given much the same cultivation as other tilled crops, for the law of rapid growth for trees and plant life is the same namely, adequate circulation of the air and moisture In the soil. During the last fiscal year the importation of wool into the United, States amounted to 266,500,000 pounds, valued at $45,000,000. For the last decade the consumption of wool totaled 4,750,000,000 pounds, of which 38 per cent, valued at $213,000,000, was imported. . . v If the boy couldn't nave both, but could choose the one or the other, he would be better equipped for life with a well endowed self respect and moral backbone than by having a parentage endowed with a fat bank account only. The possession of tbe former will enable him to keep bis head level In many times of stress, while the latter would more likely prove a pitfall and a snare than of any positive benefit It is generally conceded by experienced" fruit men that . heavy pruning during the dormant period tends to produce heavy wood growth tbe season following. This type of pruning is therefore desirable for young trees where growth of wood and the build ing of a good frame are tbe chief aim. With mature bearing trees the prun ing, if proper care has previously been given, should be light and should be done during July and August, which will induce fruit rather than wood production. Where It is not desired to grow an intensive crop like strawberries in the young orchard beans or corn makes an excellent substitute where soil and climatic conditions are favorable. The tillage of these crops gives the soil that stirring which is most beneficial for the growing trees, while neither pulls largely on the soil fertility. In sections where the summer sun is very hot and a shade is needed for the trees corn would - be preferable to beans, while the presence of the growing corn would lessen the damage to the young trees from grasshoppers In case they were numerous. In the first year many 'follow the practice of hav ing the young tree take the place of a hill of corn, while others allow no corn to grow in any of the four adjoining hill spaces. Of course the only condition under which corn would be permissible in a young orchard would be that of repeated and frequent cultivations. . Every farmstead located in a section where winters are cold and winds blow ought to have its shelter belt of coniferous trees spruces, pines or firs. Tbe strip devoted to such windbreak ought to be located at a sufficient distance from the house and farm buildings' to give room for feed lots, garden, etc. This strip should be put in mellow condition and given frequent cultivation after the young trees are set It is well to select for the shelter belt varieties : which have done well and made thrifty "growth on other farms in the vicinity, or, if there be none of the$ varieties which are recommendearoy the nearest reliable nurseryman; Only those trees should be bougtit which are guaranteed to have good roots and to grow when properly cared for. Trees that have been' transplanted several times in .the nursery are far preferable to those which -have not been. The important thing to keep in mind in toying the trees is not bow cheaply they cask be bought but having been set, howjwell they will do and how thrifty and'ymmetrical a shelter belt ; they will, make. Shoddy, poor rooted trees that con be got for a song are tbe most expensive kind of trees that a fellow can buy in the long run. , While ihe statistics of the world's supply it live stock are incomplete, the ' latest estimates are interesting, Sheep, are the most numerous of the domestic animals, and their total num ber is placed at 580,000,000. In this industry Australia ranks first with 88.000,000 bead, Argentina next with 67,000,000, and tbe United States third with 57,000,000 head. The world's supply of cattle Is given as 430,000,000 head, and in this line British India leads with 91.000,000 head. Including buffaloes and buffalo calves. The United States stands second with 70,000,000 head and Russia third with 37,000,000. In the raising of bogs tbe United States is far and away in the lead, being credited with 50,000,000, or more than a third of the world supply. Germany comes second with 22,000.000 head, while European Russia has about 11,000,000. The total number of horses is placed at 95.000,000 head, and the United States and European Russia rank about even with between 20,000,000 and 25,000,000 each. This country is credited with more than half of the 7.500,000 mules. Asiatic Turkey raises most asses, British India leads in goats, Asiatic Russia has most camels, while Russia leads la the number of reindeer. ' A becoming sense of the eternal fitness of things wonld suggest the propriety of having at least a couple of months elapse between the publication of a card of thanks and action on the part of the heirs at law to take steps to secure what they consider an equitable partition of the estate of the deceased relative. Hen manure Is too concentrated a fertilizer to. be put on.the land liberal-

should be mixed with dust or litter while accumulating, and even, then one should spread the stuff sparingly. We have' known of mature apple trees being knocked out by too much kindness In the application of this fertilizer. Treating seed corn with coal tar by stirring a small quantity of it in a peck of seed at a time so that each kernel is smeared with a little of the tar is said to keep the crows and gophers from touching the corn after it is planted. If tbe kernels are inclined to stick together more , corn should be worked la and possibly a little flour, which will tend to keep the kernels apart Tbe sooner soil is harrowed after being plowed the more completely will it retain tbe moisture at and near the surface, for the blanket of fine, mellow earth thus made checks a rapid evaporation of the moisture. Since this is so a delaying of the harrowing will serve to more quickly dry a soil that contains more moisture than is required for tbe proper germination of the seed which is to be placed therein. In sections : of the west where moisture is at a premium strict attention is paid this fact of moisture conservation. If the truth were known it would probably come to light that the increased cost of living is due to a sub stantial Increase in freight and express rates as well as to a perceptible inflation of the circulating medium and scarcity of some staple food supplies. This advance in transportation rates has been very quietly made, but the increase has been considerable, and the middleman and distributer in order to come out whole has had to add this advance to the prices he had been pre viously asking for his goods, which were already high. . There is Nothing calculated to check milk flow in a dairy cow more effectually than being chased around a yard by a cursing, loud mouthed man or boy and being ever and anon pounded over bead or rump with club or milk stool. Not long, ago we saw a pretty likely looking heifer put through this kind of mill by a couple of little heathens, whose treatment would be sufficient to cause a cow to give skimmilk, sour milk or no milk at all. It may suffice to say that the father of these boys wasn't in the dairy business for profit or he would have got busy on the boys with a big slat Of all shortsighted initial economies there is none worse than the buying of runty and unthrifty fruit trees just because they can be got cheap, and this is true whether one is setting an orchard for himself or expects to turn it over to some customer at bearing age. It Is the start a tree gets, as In the case of a calf or a pig, during the first three years that largely determines not only its later beauty, but utility as a horticultural thing, and hence , every reasonable precaution should be inken to see that the choice trees weir "as the are4 ould be of .Je best A fellow may not suffer anything more thanphysicalUlsfcaflrtbrt' ' If " he orders bis undershirt and prunes from a distant mail order bouse, but he had better pass the practice up when it comes to grass seed and order from a home man who he can bat with a stuffed club if the seed Is not pure and as represented. Not as yet is there in force an adequate federal pure seed law; hence a fellow has no re course for damages if be orders from I a firm outside of his own state and gets worthless or even pernicious grass seed. A number of states have effec tive pure seed laws, and where seller and buyer reside in such states the latter's rights are amply safeguarded.

The present prices of ginseng range from $4.50 to $6.75 per pound for the dried roots, the higher prices being . received for tbe wild product, which finds a congenial home In moist moldy wood lots where tbe shade Is sufficiently dense to keep bine grass from getting a foothold. The roots should not be gathered before they are two years old, while much larger and a better quality of roots are secured if they are allowed to grow a longer period. In the artificial cultivation of ginseng the conditions of moisture and shade referred to as existing in a native wood

lot are reproduced as nearly as possible, the beds being shaded by tbe erec tion of .slat roofs and abundant moisture being supplied If tbe rainfall should not be sufficient. . The Cautious Kind.

Speeding Automobile Nearly Crashes Into the Dig Oil Magnate. HE LAUGHS OVER ESCAPE New York, April 4.-John D. Rockefeller took a two hours' stroll Sunday and came within an inch of being run down by an automobile. Just as he. was in the act of stepping from the" curbing at Fifty-seventh street and Ninth avenue, a big touring car swerved swiftly around the corner. John D. the arm and pulled him back just In time to keep him; from being struck by the machine. ? Without making any effort to slacken his speed, the chauffeur shot a scornful glance at Mr. Rockefeller aa he turned the big automobile around ' the corner. r In West Fifty-seventh street, between Eighth and Ninth avenues, Mr. Rockefeller and his son stopped tor a few seconds to watch boys who were playing marbles on the sidewalk. Placing his hand gently on the head of a little bareheaded seven-year-old, Mr. Rockefeller said: . "My little man. don't you know you should not play marbles on Sunday?" , Little heed was given the advice. and the game of "three hole pug" went on with as much enthusiasm as though it had not been Interrupted. The marble game probably had something to do with Mr. Rockefeller's close call from being struck by the automobile. He had turned to glance back at the six little boys gathered in a circle on their knees when he nearly stepped directly In front of the. car. Mr. Rockefeller would not discuss his narrow escape when he returned to hla home at 6 o'clock, de only laughed when a reporter asked him about It , "Yes, I do a great deal of walking," he said in response to another ques tion. "It is fine exercise and does me a lot of good. ; I take a long walk like this every day." Mr. Rockefeller, seldom walks tn Fifth avenue or Central Park. He usually takes his strolls over the same route which he and his son traversed today. When he returned to his home today Mr. Rockefeller had covered several miles. He seemed fatigued and leaned on his son's arm.
