The Farm
1~14.
FARM MANAG1;\lI•:NT.
It would indeed bo very interesting if
w''r could fake a census of the farmers
and determine how many of them study
the market; we would not be far from
wrong to make an estimate that not one
Fel cent. of tin farmers pay any atten-
tion to the market whatever; whenever
anything is in c..idition for tho market
it is sold.
In order to be successful we must study
the markets, not alone the markets, but
also the various cities that offer a mar-
ket and the railroad facilities to that
market. We spend to) much time abus-
ing the railroads and too little time in
sludying their business system. The
large roads know just what the farmers
are tieing, they know well the cost of
producing a crop, they aro perfectly ac-
(Iuainted with the detail work of the
farm, hew many farmers have given any
attention to railroad systems.
Delays in truffle are very expensive,
nim to catch a good market when freight
on the road is slack, distanoe tram the
market is another factor to be considered,
1! often pays to pay little ntoro freight
on the produce if the shipper can save
from 12 to 24 hours in reaching the des-
tination.
Although shipping tho product Ls a
great Hein, it is not quite as Important
ne what you ship. A man that handles
stock, to him nothing would pay so well
a; spending several days at the stock
yards and keeping his eyes open. Ilere
one can see carload atter load of sheep,
cattle and hogs come in, and what a
lot they are! Among the cattle every-
thing can be picked out of one car lot
that ranges from a canner to extra good,
most of the hogs that come in aro no
Netter, these run from 350 pound hogs
to 50 -pound shoals. Under these con-
ditions how ran a farmer expect to get
the best prices? The buyer pays for the
poorest, the loss is to the fanner who
should justly bear it under such condi-
tions.
In order to get the best that the mar -
eel offers we should study the market re-
ports, or even write to the commission
men or packers who are at all times
ruling to give inforreation m regard to
what they want; when you have found
this out, furnish that which they demand,
it you have net a full load several men
can go together and ship the different
grades in carload lots. No one can force
something upon the market that i1 does
not want.
The grain farmers are no better than
the stick men in this respect. We have
gene to flouring mills in small towns,
and local elevator, the grain brought In
Ly some of the farmers would grade as
"rejected" in State.; whore there is a
grain inspection. When one oonsiders
the small efforts on the farmers' part
to grow and market a good clean and
pure grain 11 is not just that he receives
much less than market price when he
(Misers foul grain.
Not long ago our attention was called
to some cases where the oats had been
"slovepiped," ns it was termed. The men
that shipped the oats placed a clove pipe
in tho center of the suck. Oats was
put all around this. on the inside of the
pipe they put sand and rubbish, then
pulled out the pipe and put sorne good
grain on top. What was the result? A
It'rge mining town that was the best cus-
tomer for the oats that this one locality
Iiea been growing refuses to purchase
any more; the abuses heaped upon this
mining town by this farming commun-
ity is beyond description. Potato and
fruit growers are not exempt from the
list of men that send out poor or nixed
let of geode, under all conditions does
it pay, and that well, for the shipper to
grade his ware. Grain may 1* fanned
and the light stuff fed to the stork. poor
fruit and potatoes may likewise bo sort-
ed.
The market Is always willing to pay
inose for n first-class article than for
medimn grade goods, and when we once
try this method of giving the market
what el de►unnds we will cold shat the
)(triter profits will be on our side of the

Plano -The ''Cal Fugue."
The ex'raordinary musical sensitive -
wee of soldiers has .45 eral bees leen
proved. Every one has heard of Pel-
ltsson's spider. Consoler of the unfor-
tunate prisoner, it perished I'e'nuse .t
Lamed ton closely to the , reitites vio-
lin. The jailer saw it and crushed it
brutally, says a writer in La Revue.
Gretry, the composer, speaks of a fav-
orite spider which descended along its
thread upon his piano as soon in he
p:aged it. WIs n giving r. c:tals at Brus-
sels Rubinstein saw a large spider issue
fron ti:o flocs of the platform and listen
t) the music. Ile gave three concerts
at the same hall and on each occasion
the spider appeared.
Insects in general, though less sensi-
tive to music. t1-3 not object to it. Fish-
es betray little or no Internet in music.
Everybody, on the other hand, probably
ki:ows that music is often used in order

ANIMALS SPREAD DISEASE.
Fitly Thousand People Were Killed by
a Dog.
Science is only just beginning to rea-
lize tee immensely int s rlant p.rt play -
el by the lower animals in t'ie dirsein-
inaton of disease, !fence, the new tear
of extermination against rata.
For a tho::s•ind years and more, pub-
lic opinion in India, and the Far East
generally, has blamed these vermin for
spreikeng the Plague. But it was only
ac late ai the greet outbreak in Hong -
Kong. in 1894, that the fact was indi-
sputably and scientifically !•roved.
Since then, isolated campaign:
against rate have leen carried en in de-
ferent parts of the world, with the re-
sult that the terrible disease has been
stamped out, at all events, temp -rarity,

ously endemic.
And now scientists are turning their
attent'on to other animals, with start-
ling results. Tho "harmless, necessary

Dogs, too, can carry infection along

stantinople in 1865, when a single ani-
mal, entering the city from an infect -

that killed more then 50,000 people. The

fir F,uu..us (train specialist Says Sonne
\ten !late a Passion tor
Lift.
"Quito a number of the unaccountable
mwderr, that are committed today are
the %corn: of 111111 Who, under certain con-
ditions, have a pusiion for taking life,"
days Dr. Fortes Winslow.
!t may appear incredible," the fnmous
hrain specialist went on, "bust it is a fact
that there arc to be encountered in the
,Meets of London hundreds of individuals
amongst tvhooe characteristics Is the ten -
dewy to kill. The craving to slay is nob
perpetually uppermost in their minds;
it is suddenly coniui'J up by the sight
of a l.arheulur person. or the type of per.
scan, for whorl they have conceived an
el horrence. In these circumstances they
lose the pow.r of restraining themselves
and use the knife with fiendish ferocity.
Like a horse that is not thirsty until Ile
reaches water, when he develops a thirst
o! the first magnitude, these abnormal
cieaturtes aro not seized with the desire
to murder until they are in close piox-
imity to the object of their hatred, when
their lust for blood oweIMuues thein.
"Of the scores of sufferers from homi-
cidal mania whom I have met, 1 recall s
man to whom 1 gave advice in a hospital.
On the surince lie was entirely rational.
Ile could talk sensibly on countless
topics, but instantly any vice was dis•
cussed his mental equilibrium was vio-
lently disturbed. \Vhen In this state his
behavior was that of
A DANGEROUS MADMAN.
He became perfectly rational when the
impulse had passed off, however, and r•e•
mined so until the subJecl that caused
the outbreak was again alluded to. If,
during the moments of his paroxysm,
Itis man had been left to himself he
would undoubtedly have resorted to mur-
der.
"Many of the awful crimes that the
police hill to elucidate are due to the
sort of bruin mischief 1 have described-
'elesctlief which does assert itself until
the fame is kindled.
"The authorship of murders for which
Itomlcidal maniacs are responsible is of-
ten exceedingily difficult to (race, the ex-
planation being that men thus deranged
reason with more cunning and rational-
ity and are more methodical than sane
folks. There is invariably method in the
dcings of the mentally afflicted. A homi-
cidal lunatic, bent on assassination, lays
hie plans with minute care, not Infre-
quently devoting whole days to his dread
scheme. 1 have known several who act-
ually formulated their murderous designs
t,ii paper, showing exa sly how the deed
was to be performed, I.r, n iding for every
contingency, and exhibiting
A FUND OF CLEVERNESS
That would have (lone credit to any Sher -
leek Ilolmes.
'.Some murders are carried out when
the assassin is in an epileptic trance -
n condition which is extremely remark-
able. I heard lately of a eeition in Brus-
sels who had over twenty hysterical fits
in the (went) -leer hours. The fits were
so terrible and depressing that It was
deemed neceseire to hypnotize her. She
was put to sleep in the winter and awak-
ened in the summer. For seven months
she was asleep, ad during this time site
lesied herself with her customary duties,
though she was unnhle to recognize two
people only- the doctor and the nurse.
Al individual in this state might easily
have been guilty of murder.
"1 received in my consulting -room one
afternoon," the doctor added. "a gentle-
man who told me that lie tweed in con-
etnnt fear of the gallows. Every now and
II:en the was the• victim of a morbid In-
nt.enee to kill, and lie felt that If some-
thing was not done for hien be would
u suredly terminate his existence on the
scaffold. Subsequently he informed his
friends of his weakness. but they regard.
e.l Iris confession as a joke and laughed
I! off. the result being that lie went from
bad to worse, and was ultimately oerti.
fled n lunatic. If Itis friends had rallied
to lits acsiilnilc.' when he confided in
them he might have been put to rights,

icidal mania is curable as Is rule, bet
