Vs.
The Corn Broom
Few women in this age believe that
the broom is better than the Bissell
sweeper, but there are many who
think it is more economical.
Just figure it out for yourself. A
Bissell will last longer thon fifty corn
brooms that cost not less than $13.00
to $20.00, whereas the best Bissell
can be bought at from $2.50 to $5.00
Beyond the great economy in direct
cost of the Bissell, just consider how
it saves time, labor and health, does
the work in one-quarter of the time,
with 95 ""6 less effort than the corn
broom requires, makes no noise, raises
no  dust, and an invalid can use it.
Don't sacrifice so much comfort and
convenience when it can be obtained
so cheaply;

Happenings of Interest Gathered for the
"benefit of Oar "Readers.
Apparent Anomally.
Among the squirrels which" are the
local pets of the city and the > wonder
and amusement of all visitors, has
been introduced an apparent anomally
along the color line, for within a few
days ten baby squirrels have frisked
in the tree branches displaying coats
of what color blind people have designated white, but which, as a matter of
fact, have all of the characteristics and
marks of the fox squirrel. Five of
them are in front of the residence of
Wesley E. Howe, contractor, 922 Wes1*
Huron street, and another family of
five has been attracting* visitors by
their sprightliness for several days
past, in the tree which stinds at 'the
corner of Fourth avenue and Ann
street. They are frisky little fellows
and as yet their coats and feathery
tails resemble somewhat the gray
squirrels, but as time runs along there
will be no trouble in identifying them
as of the same family which has so
long been the pride and admiration of
the people of Ann Arbor.—Times.
Corduroy Road.
This morning the workman digging
on West Huron street, just east of the
Ann Atbor railroad tracks, for the
sewer came across au old corduroy
road, between four and five feet below
the surface. Just how many decades
ago the road was laid is not known and
probably would not be remembered by
the "oldest inhabitant," but the logs
are still perfectly sound. One of the
laborers on the sewer has a find whieh
he is treasuring, it being a large copper cent, dated 1829, which he found
buried about four feet down in the
earth. The penny, too, is in a fail-
state of preservation, though somewhat bent.—Times.
f
Custom Abolished.
The Senior Law class at the Ann
Arbor University at a meeting held
Monday voted to abolish the nightshirt parade custom. Dean Hutchins
gave them an interesting talk on the
subject that was responsible for this
action. Many of the class objected
strenuously to abolishing the custom
and they had a hot time before the
matter was settled.—Ex*.

Saving Manure.
In the handling of barnyard manure
it is otii practice to clean
out the stables * and lceep the
manure in the yard well rotted. We
recognize the value of liquid manure
and save as much of it as possible but
have no special contrivance for that
purpose. Bedding helps to do this,
and I use this a great deal. We do
very little composting. We do not
haul out our manure in winter, spring
or in summer, usually hauling out
only in the following autumn. In our
experience the bes method for handling and applying barnyard manure is
to let it become -well-rotted in. the
barnyard and then apply it evenly.
The time of application matters but
little if the manure is well rotted.—
