sal. Since then the affairs of the American legation at Lisbon have been
conducted by Mr. Lorillard, secretary of the legation.
At the state department it is declared that the appointment of Mr.
Boutell to the Portuguese mission involves no change in the status of the dip
loma! ic representative of this government at Lisbon, and makes no change in
the diplomatic relations between the United States and the new republic. Ac
cording to this statement, Mr. Boutell will continue in the same relationship
to the provisional government of Portugal as the charge d'affaires whom he
succeeds.
Several members of the diplomatic corps maintain that the appointment
of the new minister to Portugal is, to all intents and purposes, an official
recognition by the United States of the new republic of Portugal, regardless
of the view of the state department officials on that point.
SILENT MAN OF THE SENATE
that is all. It Is not seriously believed that Mr. Crane can walk through a
door without opening it, and yet the faculty he has of appearing suddenly,
noiselessly and unexpectedly in places where there has been no sign of him
an instant before, almost invites the conviction that he is more an apparition
,than a man and a senator.
When the clerk of the senate starts to call the roll, Mr. Crane is not In
the chamber, and yet when his name is reached—and it is only a short way
down the list—his voice answers "Here." Senators turn to look, and he is
gone! Perhaps the swinging door leading to tLe cloakroom is still gently
oscillating, if so It is the only sign that Mr. Crane's corporeal body had been
there a before and that his voice did not come thrbugh the skylight
MAYOR IS OUSTED BY WOMEN
The campaign was a bitter one. Half the women of Seattle who were en
franchised In November qualified as voters by enrolling their names and to
them is due the fact that In the recent election the majority of 3,300 given
to Gill a year before was reversed and his opponent, George W. Gilling, was
elected by a plurality of 6,231. The number of women registered exceeded
20,000.

Henry Sherman Boutell, who haa
represented the Ninth district of Il

past 13 years, but who failed of re
nomination last year, has been nom

plenipotentiary to the new republic
of Portugal, at an annual salary of
SIO,OOO. He succeeds Henry T. Gage
of Ixis Angeles, Cal., who recently re
signed the mission because of ill
health and to look after his private
interests in southern California.
Mr. Gage was appointed minister
to Portugal in December, 1909, and
was in charge of the legation at Lis
bon when the monarchy of King Man

of Portugal proclaimed in May, 1910.
He returned to the United States
soon after that event, and never has

The Rilent man of the United

Crane would prefer to talk with his

senator hates any kind of a racket.

The women of Seattle, Wash., exer

first time, recently ousted from office
Mayor Hiram C. Gill and elected as
his successor George W. Dilling. While
the women did not accomplish this
work alone, they were in a large
measure instrumental in bringing It
about, so much so that the result
would have been different had they
not voted. Gill wis elected mayor of
Seattle a year ago by a majority of
3,300. Women were then denied the
right of suffrage, but in November
were clothed with that power. Almost
from the start Gill's administration
came in for sharp criticism.
As soon as the woman suffrage
amendment to the constitution was
adopted last November the move
ment to "recall" Gill under a provi
sion of the city charter and elect a
successor to serve the unexpired term
took form and the women entered
Into the campaign with enthusiasm.

MANNER OF CONSTRUCTING
PRACTICAL SHEEP HURDLES
Great Objection to More General Use of Devices Seems to Be
Their Liability of Blowing Over—
Materials to be Used.
The great objection to the more gen
eral use of sheep hurdles seems to be
their liability to blowing over. I sub
mit illustrations of some that offer
less resistance or are better fortified
against the effects of the wind, writes
Hichard H. Mitchell in the Country
Gentleman.
Fig. 1, while rot strictly a movable
hurdle, is, nevertheless, considered as
such, and is the one in most com
mon use. I can only give measure
ments from memory, but should say
that they were 10 feet long anil 5
feet high when set up. The figure
shown is made of sawed stuff, but
they are more often made of split
saplings; the construction, however,
is precisely the same. Hoies are ruade
with a bar, and they aro set end to
end and pinned together at the top
These, like those supported on the A
crutch, form a perfectly straight fence,
which is not so proof against the force
of the wind as one built zig-zag or
worm fashion.
In Fig 2 1 have shown two panels
that are intended to be set up in this
IP]

manner. The left-hand end of panel
b slips in the right-hand end of panel
a, and a section of the fence is shown
in Fig. 3. These panels are supposed
to be 10 feet long and 4 feet high,
and the lumber 1 by 5-inch stuff, but
these dimensions can be varied to suit
the idea of the user. With these di
mensions, however, the distance be
tween the end uprights on panel ought
to bo 11 inches. On panel a the end
uprights ought to be 15 inches from
either end. This ought to make the
fence worm about 4 feet. As can be
readily understood, more or less worm
will be given to the fence by moving
the second upright from either end in
panel a.
A panel using wire instead of lum
ber seems desirable, and In Fig. 4 I
have shown one that seems to me the
most desirable, as combining the great-
Fig. X
est strength with the i«ast surface,
and with the surface low. The panel,
as there shown, can bo used on the
A crutch. Fig. 5 shows It modified, to
meet the requirements of a worm
fence. By substituting a post in the
place of the end uprights, you have
the Fig. 1 forms.
In Fig. 5 you will notice that I am
not satisfied with cleats, but have
Introduced a bar sliding in a slot on
the front side of the end upright and
on the back side of the second up
right. This makes a complete lock,
and seems to me quite essential on
that style of fence. I should also rec
omend the same device on the board

panels, as on uneven ground one end
might spring up and allow the panels
to separnte.
Of course on this skeleton any kind
of wire can be used. Personally, I
would not uso barbed-wire of any sort

tmn In their nathe land and when
] there ar tot enough hoi mi to draw
closer than it Is used on longer
stretches, but that number of wires
seems to iue about right for a good
job. They might be placed closer at
the bottom and wider at the top, per
haps. That hurdle (Fig. 4) made with
4-foot uprights and 14 feet from end
to end of upright, would weigh about
05 pounds, and cost about as many
cents for material. The cost of the
HsUsT
u
all-board one would not be much dif
ferent, and it would weigh 40 pounds
more.
As to manufacture, I should say, as
has already been suggested, that pret
ty close to where they are to be used
would be the best place to make them,
as one freight on the material would
be saved. Machinery does not enter
very largely Into their construction;
so nothing could be saved In that
way. It ought not to require any
great skill to saw up boards and nail
them together, and also stretch wire
on them, if that form was desired.
In drawing these hurdles, I have
allowed the center uprights to come
down as far as the others; In prac
tice, it might be found better to make
them shorter, especially if they were
to be set up on uneven ground. The
diagonals in Fig. 4, being on opposite
sides of inch uprights, will of course
be an inch apart where they cross. I
should not fill this in, but draw them
together in nailing, as it will make the
frame all the stronger. Hemlock is
probably the best material for making
these, and it would undoubtedly last
enough longer to pay to have It dress
ed. If ordered in carload lots, enough
would be saved in freight, to pay for
the dressing. If the ends of the up
rights that stand on the ground were
dipped in hot coal tar, they would
probably last as long as the rest of
the panel.
Fig. 6 shows an iron that I think
would be a great help In clinching
the nails. A slot Is cut in the end
of a flat piece of Iron, so that it will
slip easily on the nail, and it is bev
eled from the slot to either edge. By
slipping this on the nail, the end can
be bent over at more than a right
angle. The Iron Is then slipped back,
as shown in the Illustration, and the
nail bent over and driven into the
wood, as shown to the right. For
fencing stacks and turning corners,
both ends of the panels would have
to be alike, instead of reversing, as
shown in the cut. If this fence should
prove reasonably wind-proof, It ought
to solve a large problem in fence ecoh
oiny, as very much less fence would
be needed if the fence could be
e.'i*ily moved from place to place as
occasion demanded.
It would be absolutely wind-proof
around a stack if lacked with the slid
ing-bar, and would have the advantage
of being movable when the ground
was frozen.
Choking on Oats.
Some horses eat so greedily that
they become choked on oais. We have
one that troubled us in that way, so
we often had to send for a veterina
rian, who inserted p. tube down her
throat to dislodge the grain, says a
writer in an exchange. he told
us how to avoid the trouble in this
way: He advised us to place a dozen
or more smooth stones, the size of a
small hen's egg, in the feed box. tak
ing care to have them well distributed
through the oats. This compels the
horse to eat less greedily, as he must
eat carefully to avoid biting on the
stones. We had no further trouble as
long as we owned the horse.
Succulent Feed for Cowi ,
One of the most practical ways of
supplying succulent feed for cows,
when one lias only a small herd and
does not have ensilage, is by raising
roots such as mangels, rutabagas or
stock carrots.

EYES WOULD BURN AND STING
"It is just a year ago that my sis
ter came over here to us. She had
been here only a few weeks when her
eyes began to be red, and to burn and
sting as if she had sand in them.
Then we used all of the home reme
dies. She washed her eyes with salt
water, used hot tea to bathe them
with, and bandaged them over night
with tea leaves, but all to no purpose.-
She went to the drug store and got
some salve, but she grew constantly
worse. She was scarcely able to look
in the light. At last she decided to
goto a doctor, because she could
hardly work any more. The doctor
said it was a very severe disease, and
if she did not follow his orders close
ly she might lose her eyesight. He
made her eyes burn and applied elec
tricity to them, and gave her various
ointments. In the two and a half or
three months that she went to the
doctor, we could see very little im
provement.
"Then we had read so rfJuth how
people had been helped by Cuticura
that we thought we would try it, and
we cannot be thankful enough that we
used it. My sister used the Cuticura
Pills for purifying the blood, bathed
only with Cuticura Soap, and at night
after washing, she anointed her eyes
very gently on the outside with the
Cuticura Ointment. In one week, the
swelling was entirely gone from the
eyes, and after & month there was no
longer any mucus or watering of the
eyes. She could already see better,
and in six weeks she was cured."
