Of all the outlandish weapons ever employed in a fight, said a business man of the south side, I think I brought the most fantastic on record into play one night last week. My fam-- j ily are away ou a visit at present and I am keeping bachelor hall out t the house. On the night to which I jefer I was aroused at about 3 a. m. by a noise somewhere in the region of the dining room and, thinking I had shut up the dog there. I jumped up very foolishly and came down stairs in my night clothes, without so much as a When I opened the dinpocketkcife. I was staitled to see a door room ing big, rough looking fellow bending over the sideboard at the far end of the room, and after we had stood there en tableau for a moment the fellow made a rush at me. I leaped back into the hall artd glared around for a weapon. On a table near by were a dozen incandescent light bulbs, which I had brought home to replace some that had burned out, and purely by instinct I grabbed one of them and threw it at the burglar. It hit the door casing close to his head, and, to my amazement, exploded with a noise like a young lyddite shell. I suppose It was a still greater surprise to the other fellow, for he let out a yell and broke for bomthe rear, followed by a rapid-fir- e bardment of power incandes-centwhich I continued to chuck at him as long as he remained in range. They smashed against the furniture with a series of crashes that alarmed the whole neighborhood, and I have been gathering up fragments of broken glass ever since. The burglar must have thought I was chasing him with hand grenades. It was the first time I ever knew Ineandescents made such a row when they broke.

It excels in completeness of equipment, condition of track and spee of trains, all of which make travel a continual source of comfort and pleasure. All principal points east are reached many hours earlier than via other lines, and consequently' at less expense. Therefore, when you decide to go east you should use this popular line, and for further information communicate with LI. M.

The dining car service of the Denver & Grande Railroad Is proving a great convenience to the traveling public. Elegant dining cars are attached to all trains leaving Denver on this popular road, where meals are served in a manner pleasing to all travelers, and at moderate prices. The enjoyment of a trip through Colorado's wonderful acenery that abounds along the road is enhanced by the dining car and other conveniences that have been adopted.

Condensed from Farmers Review stenographic Report The Wisconsin State Horticultural Society held its annual meeting in Madison Feb. 5 to 8. The attendance was fair. The ptogram was well followed and much matter of interest was discussed. The session aevoced to the nursery business was taken up largely with brisk discussion on the tree peddlers. There are among peddlers honest men representing reliable nurseries, but there are, on the other hand, many unscrupulous men who do not stop at anything to gain their ends. The business otters many inducements to dishonesty, as a man win sell the most worthless of stuff and go for years without being found out. -- he only way to prevent the frauds complained of seems to be scattering information more fully among the peog ple. The farmers, or at least the Egglish-readin- g farmers, have become so wary that they are no longer easily caught; but the foreign-bre- d farmers are being caught right along, and for them there seems to be no hope of escape they are paying the price of ignorance. One session was devoted to the discussion of the culture of small fruit. Papers were read by M. S. Kellogg, J. L. Herbst, Frank Stark, Frederick Cranefield, A. J. Edwards and S. H. Marshall. An extended discussion followed these papers, and this will appear later in the Farmers Review. The forestry session was one of unusual interest. The subject was opened by B. S. Hoxie, president of the State Forestry Association. lie reviewed the attempt to get a hill passed by the state legislature looking to the beginning of the work for the recovery of our forest domains, and pointed out what other states are doing in this matter. lie said that New York had purchased an immense area of land in the Adirondacks at a cost of only $1 per acre, and that now is the time for Wisconsin to take steps to purchase forest lands, since they can now be obtained at a small price; while twenty-fiv- e years from now the cost is likely to be much greater. S. M. Owens of Minnesota delivered a very instructive address on the forestry of the Old World. He contrasted what Is being done there with what is being done here. He showed how Gery many, France, and Switzerland are conserving their forests with the result that they can cut a large amount annually without decreasing the main source of their supplies. Switzerland has made immense strides in the matter of the preservation of her forests, which are owned very largely by the public. There the public-owne- d forests are much better kept and handled than are the forests that are owned by private persons. To preserve American forests and to restore them it is but necessary that a sensible system of cutting off be employed. Ernest Bruncken, secretary of the Wisconsin State Forestry Association, read an interesting paper on forestry legislation. He said that the greatest obstacle to obtaining forestry legislation is the popular misunderstanding of the term "forestry, which is assumed to include our parks and shade tree systems. Forestry relates exclusively to the management of trees In great masses. He said that our landa can become reforested by simply cutting off the trees and removing the rubbish to prevent fires; that nature will do the planting; but that where the ground has been eaten up by forest fires it will not be in a condition to bear trees for generations. A session was devoted to orchard trees, and papers were read by Id. S. Goff, Martin Penning. A. J. Phillips, G. J. Kellogg and one was sent by O. M. Lord. Three of these papers treated of plums. The Japanese plums were condemned as being utterly unfit for use in Wisconsin. It was the belief of the convention that our hope lies la the native plums. G. J. Kellogg3 It will appaper was on pear later in the Farmers Review. A. L. Hatch spoke on what we can do to make trees bear fruit. He believes that we must cultivate and feed our trees if we expect results, just as much as we have to feed our animals for results. Frank Yahnke spoke on the growing of vegetables for market. He said that the man that makes vegetable growing his business must grow all kind3 and put them on the market in the best shape. He must not try to grow all kinds of vegetables on the same kind of soil, but must give to each vegetable the kind of soil it requires. One session was devoted to the memorial addresses on J. C. Plumb, F. W. Loudon, M. A. Thayer and Peter Gideon. Wm. Toole spoke on what to plant to beautify our school grounds.

A m Lolium government report says: These are among the oldest cultivated grasses, and are probably grown more widely than any others in Europe. They have been used largely in the Northern states, where they are often satisfactory, but in the South they have not done well except in a few especially favorable locations. They succeed best on a rich, moist, sandy soil containing a fair amount of lime, and on such soils are fairly permanent, but on dry, thin soils and heavy clays they soon disappear. They will cover the ground sooner and make a better sward in a few weeks after planting than most other grasses, and are valuable where quick results are wranted and for covering the ground while other and more permanent sorts, like redtop and orchard grass, are becoming established. When sown alone on rich soil3 their growth is so rank that the ground is soon covered with a dense mat of long leaves, which make the best of grazing or hay, but if allowed to become too dense will die and decay after heavy rains. While excellent tor mixing with other grasses for both pastures and meadows, they cannot be recommended for sowing alone. The most common varieties are the Italian, Paceys and the perennial rye graat.es. The per- - - k . r-- ;?t v. ' h-- j. v v 'c ' V'- - - - of 'tr? :? : f'. ..

The Italian rye grass makes a ranker growth anil covers the ground more quickly. Seed may be sown in either fall or spring, and from two to three bushels per acre are required when sown alone, or one bushel when sown with other grasses. Teach Tree with Apple Tree At a recent meeting of the St. Louis Horticultural Society County (Mo. Professor Whitten was asked about peach trees as fillers for apple trees. He said there were some objections ta the plan inasmuch as the peach requires different treatment than th apple, especially in spraying. It U sometimes necessary to spray apples with a mixture that would injure ths peach foliage and with these two planted close together it would be very inconvenient to treat the one without more or les3 of the spray reaching the other. Again it usually requires more courage than most of us have to cut out a good peach tree at the proper season. They are usually left too long. However, considering the value ol lands near St. Louis, it is more Important that every available inch be utilized and more immediate returns than where land can he procured for only a few dollars per acre and it may therefore be desirable to use the peach as a filler in this locality. Big Shipment of Pigeons. Robt. Cox shipped from Chicago on Tuesday the 17th inst., a straight carload of pigeons to the number of 13,000, using L. P. T. Co., car No. 784. The birds were shipped to Nashville, Tenn., to be used by the various gun clubs in their annual shoot, which occurred there on the 19th, 20th, and 21st inst. These patent live poultry cars are also suitable for shipping rabbits or other animals in quantity, a car of live jack rabbits containing 3,000 head having been shipped in one of them from a point in California.
