'You cannot got two crops from the land without doing injury unless the land be highly manuted. The custom of securing a crop of hay from the orchard rebs the trees. The more hay the leas fruit. The fruit crop needs as careful attention as any other, All crops grown in the orchard other than the one deserved from the trees simply retard the growth of the trees and lessen their bear- ing capacity. The farming of the future must be gradu- ally contracted in the number of acres. Higher cultivation, more remunerative crops, leas hard work over broad fields and closer attention to special paying crops on the fields that surround the house. More pasture, more stock and plenty of ensilage—this in- sures the purchase of less commercial fertil- izer and the very best results from the con- tents of the barnyard. The hoof: of stook do as much damage to grass as the grazing of it. No pasture should be given up to stook. It is better to divide the pasture into sections, permitting the stook to have access to only one section at a time, in order to allow the other por- tions to recuperate and renew the crop. The, shorter the grass is grazed the more injury will be done by the hoofs.... On wet land the injury from tramping is greater, hence stook should be kept out of the pasture for a day or two after a rain. Who says the farmers are not manufac- turers ? The idea is not new, but every barn in the land where animals are kept is a kind of manufactory. The animals are the ma. ohfnes ; hay, oats, grain, roots and other food crops are the raw materials ; and milk, wool, meat, etc., the products. And'the conversion c.f these raw material into salable products requires a vast amount of Iabor, capital, skill, and good business manage- ment. Should not the farmer, then, be as fully protected as other manufacturers In Mr. Woodward's description of an English fair last week, he mentioned two features that Americans ought to copy- the horse shoeing contest and the dairy contest, Both of these features would be sure to take well here. • farmers would enjoy the blacksmith contest, and .the man who wouldn't ruin to see a dozen bright American dairymaids( oompete fore a prize at butter -making doesn't deserve to be called an American.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 26.—When Judge White, of the Criminal Court, entered his quarters yesterday morning he first scored Lawyer Lowe, Prohibition candidate for Governor. because that gentleman had said he was off on a vacation and could not be found. Then when ex -Mayor Gibson, act- ing for Lowe, recited, in a plea for more time for the condemned murderer Myers, the fact of judge's absence, the latter ex- claimed " Nobody but a dirty dog or a cowardly our would thus insult the court as you and your colleague have done.' Counsellor Gibson grew red in the face. " I expected to be treated as a gentleman in this court` and I must insist upon my. prerogative. Mr. Myers and I have already settled this mate ter, and a question on your part would have settled the matter at once. 1 won't permit myself to be insulted by every one who comes along, and I must insist on being treated as. a gentleman.

The iirat hill that re - calved the report was so taken by surpriss that it did not band it onto its neighbor for several. seconds. The second hill wouldn't believe it, and abied it back at once at the head of the first, and so they went on, tossing it about for nearly half a minute, In the meantime I inspected the result of my shot.

A recent writer says: "I have been ex- ceedingly interested as a horticulturisb and student of nature in observing the recogni- tion of the rights of property in domestic animals. Ahen will not concede a grain of corn as belonging to another, but the one robbed will manifest indignation ; but a ben will recognize the right of another to the oc- cupancy of a nest, if not thereby seriously discomfited. A cat makes no claim to pos- session until her foot is on the piece of meat. After possession, however, she asserts her positive rights, and heavier cats will allow the claim. Old cats will often allow young ones to rob them, but they will not allow older ones to do the same. A dog not only claims a bone while in poasession, but estab- lishes his right to the same bone when buri- ed, and woe be to the dog that opens the cache. " This recognition of property rights is seen everywhere in lower life, although theft is common. "Again, if you find ycur horse in his neighbor's stall, eating oats, and scold him for it, his retreat is made with marks of shame. " f have seen the same manifestation in a fowl, -[Globe Democrat. tails, pointers, blooded bulls, an assortment of gennme Scotch terriers, and a beautiful Irish setter. 11 is a notable fact that the majority of these are always on their feet and look chippor, while in the adjoining pen lie the curs of high and low degree in a tor- pid and: listless way. "Our men also take in horses and cows found roaming at large," said Mr. Barber. ,"We are clearing on an avexage about $40 a day for the city. Fifteen hundred and aeventy-five dogs have been taken in by us since July 1. Of these there were 1,175 ours.

The other day we nailed Baron Yerkes' greyhound and English bull. His two coachmen came up after them. They had on the license tag (the dogs, I mean), and got off with $3.75 each.
