Five men standing on Kent street ‘were ordered to move on; but, instead of doing so, they attacked Mr. Short, who made a plucky resistance, but was overpowered, and received injuries that made his removal to the Ross hospital necessary. Mike Carlin, the principal assailant of Constable Short, is still at large. A reward of $50 is being oii'ercd for his arrest. m The report oi’ the New York State Dc- ‘partment oi’ Labor shows that in 1908 ‘there were ninety thousand fewer men reporting employment in there various unions than in 1007, while membership of the labor unions of the state, from .Anril to September, deceased from 398,- sis to 371.459, a loss oi‘ 26,123. The cause for the [ailing ol't‘ is not reported, but it is doubtless due in part to the inability oi‘ some of the unemployed to keep up their union dues, and partly also to a decision to accept work wher- ever it could be found, regardless oi’ the interests of unionism.

SMITH PERT PARAGRAPHS. Sometimes capturing a thing is child's play compared to letting it go. When some men start the furnace fire ' cheerfully it is evidence that they are trying to square themselves." An amateur poultry raiser ls as long on figures as he is short on eggs. Comes Natural to Them._ ‘A western farmer writes in to one of the eastern papers to inquire if the edi- tor knows of any way to keep boys from stealing watermelons. This has been a subject that has en- gaged the attention of many market ' gardeners from the time of Adam down; but, after looking over the field, most of them have given up the job as hopeless. The combination of a barb- ed wire fence, a bulldog and a shotgun may do some good, but even that is not boy proof. _ 1"About the only sure way is to chain all of the boys in the neighborhood with inch log chains and then throw them down a cellar and sit on the lid. Even that is not warranted to work 81 ery time, for a'new boy may come visiting in the neighborhood after the cummittee has made up the collection. About the only sure way would be for Burbank to graft a phonograph on a watermelon, and then it could call for help when danger came on two bare feet. By having the hired man sleep in the barn to respond to the call ; most of the fruit should be saved until the time came to put it on the market. ' Varied the Exercise. “1 see she is going with {i left handed man.” “Yes, she wanted to develop evenly." Ran to Fruit. | “Did he get the check for his ap-~ pies?" ‘ “Yes, and it was a peach." .1 Mixed. He asked would she go strolling Along the placid lake.

'As the result oi’ tests of alfalfa, red clover and grass seeds secured in the open market Chief Galloway of the bureau of plants industry makes are- port that is certainly of interest to farmers. - Red Clover.--Of the 1,217 samples of red clover seed secured 405. or one-third, contained seed ‘of dodder, 424 contain- ed traces of yellow trefoil seed, and 135 bore evidence 0t having originated in Chile. Alfalfa-Of the 399 samples of alfal- fa seed secured-191, or about one-half, contained seed of dodder, 135 contained a trace of "yellow trefoil seed, 120 con- tained a trace of sweet clover Seed, and 16 contained a trace of bur clover seed. - Bromus Inermls.â€"-Cf the 55 samples of Bromus inermis seed obtained 15 contained seed of cheat, or chess, 28 contained from 2 to 3 per cent of'seed of the wheat grasses, several con- tained seed of meadow fescue, and one contained more than 24 per cent of meadow fescue and rye grass seed to- gether. ’ Kentucky Blue Grass.‘-0f the 429 samples of Kentucky blue grass seed obtained only 8 were found to be free from any trace of Canada blue grass. In most of these Samples the trace of Canada blue grass found was immature seed, showing that it was harvested with theKentucky blue grass seed. The seeds oflhe two plants not ripening at the same time, it is improbable that mature seed of Canada blue grass would be harvested with Kentucky blue grass seed. In 110 samples, how- ever, Canada blue grass seed was found in quantities exceeding 5 per cent, 32 of these being Canada blue grass seed mlsbranded as Kentucky blue grass seed. Where Hogs Follow Cattle. Even if in addition to corn other concentrates richer in protein and ash than is corn are fed t0 steers, the corn in the droppings is much more readily found, and the benefit derived by the hog from the feeds other than corn is not very great. although it is believed that some benefit may be derived. Pruning the Currant. In general a currant bush should be composed of from five to eight stalks stopped about eighteen to twenty inches in height. If the plants are vig- orous shoots stopped at this height will produce several lateral branches, thus forming a compact, broad headed bush WOOd-â€"L C‘ Corbettv . g“. ..4“ >i:.
