“Good” in Everything.

▲ writer in the New York Pres* *«ys be asked a lawyer what he regarded as “nine points of the law.” The lawyer answered in this wise: 1. A good deal of money. 2. A good deal of patience. 3. A good cause. 4. A good lawyer. 5. A good counsel. 6. Good witnesses. 7. A good jury. 8. A good judge. 9. Good luck. These nine points make an amulet which Insures success in a lawsuit—the remaining point, presumably in the possession of the other fellow, is literally the submerged tenth. r

A Narrow Escape.

Bath, N. Y., Sept. 16—There is now at the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Home here an old soldier who has been nearer death than anyone who has lived to tell the story. His name is A. E. Ayers. For many years he lived in Minneapolis, Minn., where he is well known. Four physicians of that city once told Mr. Ayers that he could not live four days. / He had Bright’s disease. As a last resort he tried Dodd’s Kidney Pills. He is strong and well today. He says “I was in the very presence of death, but Dodd’s Kidney Pills saved me. They are the greatest medicine in the world.”

Averaging It Up.

“Last year,” she began as she halted In front of the grocery to gaze at a pile of watermelons—“last year I bought sixteen different watermelons of you, and not one of them was ripe.” “Yes, I know,” replied the grocer. “And this year ” “This year, madam, you will buy sixteen others of me, and not ope will be green. That’s the way it goes, you know. Last year was an off year, while this one is all right. I’ll send down that large speckled fellow with a hump to it." I do not believe Piso’s Cure for Consumption has.an equal for coughs and colds.—John F. Boyer, Trinity Springs, Ind., Feb. 15. 1900. Ex-Mayor Hewitt of New York declares that to be rich and not to use riches for the general good is to be disgraced, “because after all riches are but the result of general co-operation.” For something good, try Mrs. Austin’s famous Pan Cake Flour: ready In s jiffy.

FARMS AND FARMERS

Gatherin'- and Packing Apple-*. In the Illustration, the upper design ..hows an apple picker, which is made by cutting an inch board in a circle, so that It will measure just one foot across; an inch hole Is bored in the center for the handle, and one-eighth inch holes are bored close together around the edge, and In each of these holes eight-inch wire nails are Inserted, sharpened at the ends. The handle should* be long enough so that the branches of the trees can be readily reached from the ground. In picking the applfes, the implement is placed so that the stem of the apple will come between two of the nails, and with a quick movement of the hand the stem is broken from the twig, and the apple rests on the circle In the center. Five or six apples can be picked in this way before the implement is taken down. The lower part of the illustration shows a device which is used for pack-

lng apples in barrels. In the large cities such devices are purchaseable at hardware stores or of dealers in agricultural supplies. This rack fits over the barrel, and by manipulating the screw at the top the barrel is pressed together so that the head may be inserted, and the hoops driven down with ease. Milk Stool. We have tried several kinds of stools and have seen all styles iii operation in various parts of the country, but nothing suits us so well as the style shown here, says a Michigan farmer in Hoard’s Dairyman. We made the first one when we commenced dairying. The cut shows just how to make it. The board A should be about 22 inches long for a tall man and about 8 inches wide. The two end pieces, B and C, can be cut and adjusted to suit each milker. We made the stool so as to have the seat D about ten inches high. All pieces are about eight inches wide. It is a pleasure to use this stool. One can sit comfortably without bracing. No need of bugging the pall; simply let

it rest between the knees. The pall should be tilted slightly, aud, thus arranged, a good, rapid milker will spatter very little milk. t hred ling Corn Stalks. Machinery for shredding corn stalks is quite expensive, but In a section where large quantities of corn are grown lb will pay for the farmers to buy one of these shredders In common. The value of the shredder will be particuldfly apparent this year In sections where the corn crop Is small, for the corn stover made by the shredder Is of such a nature that the cattle will eat 05 per cent of It, while, as all farmers know’, nearly one-half of the feed Is wasted where the stalks are fed In the old-fashioned way. It may be possible In a great many sections to have a corn crop shredded by men who travel with a machine This plan of traveling with a shredder Is fast coming into use. The price ranges from two cents a cubic feet to four cents for two and one-half cubic feet. Early Fall Plowing. The ground for wheat should be plowed now and harrowed at least one a week or ten days until the time for seed sowing. The advantage In this Is making a fine and compact seed bed, which, of course, Is essential r.o success In wheat culture. .Another advantage •In early plowing Is that there Is more moisture at the time of seed sowing In rrpund plowed and harrowed as suggested, than there is if the ground Is permitted to lie until Just before the seed Is jown before It Is plowed. Thyre may be objections urged agaiust this early plowing, especially for wheat. In view of the fact that the tendency is to sow the seed as late as possible, In order to avoid the ravages of the hessian fly, but the early plowing will not In any way Interfere with seed sowing at any time one desires to do it, and It

will do the soil less injury to remain for a few weeks after being plowed and harrowed than to delay the plowing until Just before seed sowing. Introducing Queens n Hives. Scientists tell us that it is not possible for two queen bees to occupy the same hive, for they will at once fight for supremacy. Even the birth of the queens from the eggs laid by the old queen Is disputed by the first queen hatched from these eggs, for, if not prevented by the workers, this firstborn queen will at once break open the cells in which are located the unborn queens and destroy them. An old beekeeper claims that the following plan of Introducing a queen will be successful in the majority of cases. From the hive into which the queen is to be introduced, remove four or five frames of capped brood with the bees adhering thereto, and place them In an empty hive, leaving the old queen in the old hive. Place the cage containing the new queen on top of the frames in the new hive, close up the hive, and reduce the size of the entrance to about one inch wide. The younger bees will remain in the new hive, and in a few days will liberate the new queen and take good care of her, while the older bees, removed on the frames, will probably return to the ‘old hive. In some cases the bees will kill the new queen, but very rarely, and when such a catastorphe occurs, the bee man still has the old bee to depend upon for new broods.

Farm Turkey Raising. When the turkey hen is in a good sitting mood, give her seventeen eggs; at the same time set two chickens on eleven eggs each. When the hatch is off, give all turkeys to the turkey hen. Feed the young turkeys on curd, often mixing black pepper with it. Feed three times a day all they will eat. Do not give raw cornmeal; if fed at all, bake into corn bread. Screenings Is a poor food, as it contains many wild seeds, causing diarrhea, killing them in twenty-four hours. That is the one thing to guard against and the greatest difficulty in raising turkeys. When feeding only curd as the principal food you overcome that trouble. Keeping the young turkeys in a pen 10x10 feet and twelve inches high for a few days gives them strength, and they can follow the hen. You cannot shut turkeys up in a coop or yard, as they will die If confined. After four or five days old, let them go, see that they come home every night, which they will do if fed morning and evening. For breeding purposes select hens not less than two years old, toms from two to three, of the Ky bronze variety. Corns on Horses’ Feet. Most of the corns that grow on horses’ feet are caused by improper shoeing, and the only permanent relief that can be had is by removing the shoes and, after treating the corns, keep the horse free from work during the slimmer, and give it a low, rather damp pasture on which to graze. After removing the shoes, pare away the horn at the bars of the feet, and cut the toes down as much as possible. The hair should be clipped from the coronets and the hoof blistered with cerate of can tharides. The blistering should be done once a month, and washed off in forty-eight hours after it is applied. Lard should be applied daily. If the horse must be worked, the corns should be pared once a month and the animal shod with bar shoes that will not come in contact with the corns. The hoof should be soaked in cold water for an hour, once or twice daily, and then smeared with some greasy hoof ointment. Unless the corns are very bad, this treatment will relieve the trouble. The horse should be kept frorfethe hard roads as much as possible.—lndianapolis News. Women and Farm Work. It is said that fully half a mlllioD women are employed in the Western States as harvest laborers and general farm hands. This is accounted for by the numerous improvements in agricultural machinery, which enable a woman to do the work as easily as a man, and also by the large number of women who swn farms and manage them themselves. This is especially true in lowa, Indiana, Kansas, Nebraska and Minnesota, where there gre farms of 1,000 to women. Persons who are acquainted with life in those BtatJb assert that in many cases the women make more money out of the farms than did the husbands or fathers from whom they inherited them. Holding Up Milk. Have you tried apples as a cure for "holding up” milk? asks an exchange When your cow refuses to “give down” jußt you give her an apple. If it be a good one, it may tickle her palate enough to make her forget her determination. Don’t let her have apples at any other time. If she does not care for this fruit, find out something that she does like, and give her a dose of it when you want to milk her. How do you think this compares with kicking her in the ribs or with the milk stool? Feeding Poultry. There is a difference to be observed In feeding hens and ducks. When fed too-much grain the ducks are liable to weakness of the legs and finally death. They want bulky material and animal food, such as lean meat, bran and ground oats moistened, and cut alfalfa If such is to be had.

ROOSEVELT SWORN IN

T44E PJEW PRESIDENT TAKES THE OATH OF OFFICE. Tel)* the Cabinet Officer* that Hia Main Purpose Is to Coatiaue the Policiee of McKinley—Pays Visit of Condolence to Widow. Theodore Roosevelt became President of the United States at 3:30 o’clock Saturday afternoon, when he complied with the constitutional provision and took the prescribed oath to support and defend the constitution and the laws of the United States. He took that oath at Buffalo is the library of the residence of AnsleJ Wilcox, a personal friend, with whom he stopped earlier in the week when the physicians thought President McKinley would recover from the wound inflicted by the assassin. The scene was a most affecting one. The new President had just come from the Milburn house, where his predecessor lay cold in death. Overcome by the deep personal sorrow he felt, in his characteristically impulsive way he had gone first to the house of mourning to offer his condolence and sympathy to the brokenhearted widow. Secretary Root, who, twenty years ago, had been present at a similar scene, when Arthur took the oath, after the death of another President who fell a victim to an assassin’s bullet, almost broke down when he requested Mr. Roosevelt, on behalf of the members of the cabinet of the late President, to take the prescribed oath. There was not a dry eye in the room. The new President was visibly shaken, but he controlled himself, and when he lifted his hand to swear it was steady. With the deep solemnity of the occasion full upon him, he announced to those present that his aim would be to be William McKinley’s successor in deed as well as in name. Deliberately he proclaimed it in these words: “In this hour of deep and terrible bereavement, I wish to state that it shall be my aim to continue absolutely unbroken the policy of President McKinley for the peace and prosperity and honor of our beloved country.” • l The great, far-reaching significance of this pledge to continue the policy of the dead President, announced at the very threshold of a new governmental regime, profoundly impressed his hearers, and President Roosevelt’s first step after taking the oath was in line with its redemption. His first act was to ask the members of the cabinet to retain their portfolios temporarily in order to aid him to conduct the government on lines laid down by him whose policy he had declared he would uphold, and every member of the cabinet, including Secretary of State Hay and Secretary of the Treasury Gage, who were communicated with in Washington, agreed for the present, at least, to retain their several portfolios.

BUFFALO AT THE BIER.

Body Lies in State and 100,000 People View the t emains. Funeral formalities and the outward manifestations of a Ration’s grief were all that remained after Saturday. With these over, the curtain falls upon the third great tragedy in the annals of American Presidents, and that tragedy and the career of William McKinley hava passed into history. Already the machinery of the chief executive branch of the government has resumed its routine. The body of the President lay Saturday night in the room wherein he died. It was removed to the parlors of the Milburn house for the funeral services at 11 o’clock Sunday morning. The services were simple in form, and were private, only the immediate members of the McKinley family and their closest friends were assembled. Mrs. McKinley was not With them. Immediately after the services the remains of the late President were taken to the Buffalo City Hall, and there lay in state from 12 o’clock until 11 o’clock at night. During these hours the City Hall was open to all citizens who desired to file past the casket in honor and respect to his memory. The casket was in view of all. The funeral procession from the Milburn home to the City Hafi was under command of Maj. Gen. John K. Brooke of the United States array. The body of the President was guarded throughout the night by United States soldiers, and at 7:30 o’clock Monday morning it was removed from the City Hall, and under escort of soldiery taken to the union station, where a funeral train went direct to Washington, arriving there on Monday evening.

GANGRENE CAUSES DEATH.

Autopsy Disclose* Startline Condition of Vckin'ey’a Stomach. The bullet which struck over the breastbone did not pass through the skin, and did little harm. The other bullet passed through both walls of the stomach near Its lower border. Both holes were found to be perfeqtly closed by the stitches, but the tissue around each hole had become gangrenous. After passing through the stomach the bullet passed iuto the back walls of the abdomen, hitting and tearing the tipper end of the kidney. This portion of the bullet track was also gangrenous, the gangrene Involving the pancreas. The bullet has not yet been found. There was no sign of peritonitis or disease of other organs. The heart walls were very thin. There was no evidence of any attempt at repair on the part of nature, and death resulted from the gangrene which affected the stomach around the bullet wounds, as well as the tissues around the further connc of the bullet. Death was unavoidable by any surgical or medical treatment, and was the direct result of the bullet wound. HARVEY D. GAYLORD, M. D. HERMAN G. MATZINGER, M. D. P. M. RIXJ2Y. M. D. , MATTHEW D. MANN.

CATARRH OF KIDNEYS .A. Quickly Develops Into Bright’s Disease. (PE-RU-NA CURES CATARRH WHEREVER LOCATE*.)

John Herxiger, son of'Alderman Herzlger, *f Neenah, Wls., and Vice President of the Neenah Young Men's Club, writes In a recent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co., of Columbia, Ohio, the following: “After Muttering for two yean with kkta y trouble I received relief and a cure from using your wonderful medicine, Peruna. “For montba I was unable to work on accuuni of a severe pain In mv back, and when I waa able to do anything I waa la pain and distressed most of the time. ••Hearing so much of the good results people had obtained through ibe use of Peruna I determined to give it a trial and It was a .ucky day tor me when I did so. lam well now and It only ttok a tew bottles ot Peruna.

“Lewis Carroll.”

Of course Mr. Dodgson, better known as “Lewis Carroll,” the author of “Alice in Wonderland,” was one of the sights of Oxford, says Rev, Mr. Tuekwell In his “Reminiscences” of that famous university town, and he describes him: Strangers, lady strangers especially, begged their lionizing friends to point out Mr. Dodgson, and were disappointed when they saw the homely figure and the grave, repellent face. Except to little girls he was not an alluring personage. ! His passion for them was universal and nndiscriminating; like Miss Snevellici’s papa, he loved them every one. Yet even here he was symmetrical and rigid; reaching the point where brook and river meet, the petted, loving child friend was dropped abruptly, remorselessly, finally. Perhaps It was Just as well; probably the severance was mutual; the little maids put away childish things, he did ; not; to their maturer Interests and grown-up day-dreams he could have made no response; better to think of him as they think of nursery books, a pleasant memory, laid by upon their ■helves affectionately, but no longer read. And to the few who loved him this faithlessness, as some called it, seems to reveal the secret of his character. He was what German Novalis has called a grown-up child.

Deceived.

Rodriguez was livid with rage. “You have deceived me!” he cried. “Your social standing is not what you have led me to believe! I find that the revolution of which yon are the daughter was a cheap affair, in which nobody was killed and almost no property was de-, stroyed!” > Then he strode away in the night and she woman sank in a wretched, sobbing heap on the divan. The next day all Caracas talked of their quarrel.—Detroit Journal. •
