WEBSTER 'A GREAT ANIMAL."
Wonderful Orator Seemed Half Asleep
When Trying a Caae.
"I heard him once In Faneuil hall,
Boston. Every man In the audience
and the hall was crowded gave one
Bhout of applause at what Everett
said. ' The subject I have entirely for
gotten, but this fact I remember,"
says a writer in the Critic. I Inquir
ed if he had ever beard Webster pro
duce such an effect on an audience.
He said never; but he had only heard
Webster In court; It was in defense of
a celebrated criminalperhaps the
Phoenix bank cose In Boston. "Mr.
Webster seemed In a semi-dream. I
thought him half asleep, for he had
bis eyes almost closed and was In a
heavy state, taking Uitle notice of
what went on In court. William De
hon, a brisk young man, sat near blm
and furnished him with law books and
papers and acted as If he were there
to keep Webster awake. There were
three Judges on the bench probably
Judge Shaw and two others one on
each side of blm. They watched Web
ster closely, for It would not do to
neglect what he might say. He, on
the contrary, appeared to take no ac
count of other persons, as It bis mind
were anywhere but there. I fancied
be was thinking what fcls next politr
cal move should be. He was a re
markable man to look at far other
than the ordinary run of men I sup
pose the most remarkable American In
his aspect that ever was seen. They
thought so In England, where they
stopped to look after blm In the street
But be was heavy a great animal, In
volved In his own dreams and paying
Utile attention to what went on
around him."
LEARN TO WALK WELL.
Eyen English Admit American Worn-'
' -. en Excel in This Respect.-
A contemporary has been waxing
eloquent over the woman who walks
well, and lamenting the rarity of grace
and dignity In the average woman's
gait. And it must be confessed, it the
woman whom one sees In the streets
of the metropolis be taken as an ex
ample, a waddling walk or little minc
ing tripping steps seem to be all-prevalent.
An English woman walks worse than
any other woman. The French woman
steps out with tightness and ease; the
American with a fine strength -and an
air as If the pavement belonged to her,
and should be honored by the tread of
her little feet; and as for the Span
ish woman, even lighter and slimmer
of toot that the daughters of Jona
than, why hers Is the very prettiest
of motion.
An Englishwoman, If I may so ex
press myself, Is handicapped by her
feet. Hers are far, very far, from the
neatest known, and her mauvaise
honte In showing them to a watchful
world, how natural.
Poor thing, she is too often In a
hurry. She does more In her day than
any other woman, and it is not pos
sible to be graceful while hustling.
Walk slowly (says a master of de
portment), with a quiet swing, but
with a swing, head back and your
weight on each foot In turn. Take
care not to rob yourself of Inches by
giving at the knees. Practise with a
book on your head at homo, and say
to yourself meanwhile as a suggestion:
"The poetry of motion. The poetry of
motion." Gentlewoman, London.

I COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
R. G. Dun & Co.' "Weekly Review
of Trade" says:
"Commercial news continues most sat
isfactory, improvement being reported in
almost every case, except the further
decline in prices of securities. Crops are
being harvested under most favorable
conditions, and a lew weeks more with
out severe frost will put the yield of
corn and cotton beyond danger.
"Industrial progress h accelerated by
the broadening demand for iron and
steel products, textile mills and shoe fac
tories are well occupied, while the de
mand for material testifies to extensive
building operations. Considering the
prosperous conditions, labor struggles
are exceptionally few.
"Jobbers in many, lines are unable to
handle the business offered by visiting
merchants, although packing and ship
ping departments are often worked
overtime.
"Retailers report a wholesome distri
bution of staple merchandise, and there
are t'omparatively few complaints re
garding collections.
"Some congestions of traffc is noted,
and railway earnings in August were
6.3 per cent, larger than in the same
month of 1904."

when a year and n half old the carcass
weighed ICO pounds. I cross my Rhcep

A North Dakota man, who thinks
weeds the worst enemy to be met with
in the production of a garden, writes
the Farm. Stock and Home that they
must be fought early, late and all the
time. Tho best time to kill them is
before they appear nbove ground. If
the garden Is large a good harrow is
the best of weed killers. Corn and
potatoes can be harrowed once a week
from the time they are planted until
four inches high. If tho garden is
small the iron hand rake and wheel
hoe are Indispensable. Plow all the
garden as soon us you are ready to
plant the first early vegetables; then
once a week stir the implanted ground,
about an inch deep, witb hoe or rake,
and thus destroy tue weeds while
young and tender. It must be remem
bered that the secret of a good garden
is constant and careful cultivation.
Kabrialng Flying Fowlt.
When fowls nre kept confined they

the wings of the birds, riot a desirable
thing to do if they happen to be high

the little arrangement here described.
Take a stout cord and tie around the
points of the feathers on the wings

The best milk produced iu the United
States, says G. N. ICnapp. of the Wis
consin Station, as well as vhe milk pro
duced at the greatest net profit, is
milk produced from slluge. The cows
producing this milk are, of conrse, not
fed exclusively on silage, but it is be
cause of the cheapness of silage und of
the intrinsic value of slluge as a feed
that such milk can be produced and
produced so cheaply.
In the com belt wLero cattle are fin
ished for market tint men of long ex
perience make a business, or a profes
sion, of producing beef, they And that
better beef, ns well as more rapid
gaius are obtained by feeding silage.
The steers are not fattened on silage,
bnt silage Is a very important supple
ment to the fattening ration. Sheep
are found to utilise sllago to good ad
vantage: piany feeders make silage
more than half the winter ration for
their sheep. Hogs and horses are also
fed sllago to advantage.
Because of such facts as these, which
are becoming moro and uiore appareut,
the interest in silage and silos is grow
ing rapidly among farmers who appre
ciate the necessity of a cheaper ration
as well as the Importance of a succu
lent food. Sllago Is coining to bo re
garded as an Indispensable adjunct to
successful farming.

Sow Rnmft Barley.
Wheat and barley sowing season will
soon be here, so let me Impress on your
farmer readers the Importance of a
barley crop. As the writer has had ex
perience, he feels it a duty to lend en
couragement to those not skeptical In
raising barley. My last year's farming
was thirteen years ago. when I had
forty-five bushels to the acre, while I
only had thirteen bushels of wheat
to the acre right by the side of my
barley and the same quality of land
(sandy), and all sowed nt the same time
nnd drilled alike, one and one-fourth,
bushels to the acre. Harvested barley
lyth of June, and wheat the 20th;
stacked and thrashed at same time.
Sold wheat at sixty-eight cents and
barley ut sixty cents. It is easy to
compare rxpense nnd profits.
Sowing was done first days of Sep
tember. Barley should be sowed soon
after the middle of August, as it re
quires early sowing so the crop can get
nn early start to grow up and cover the
ground before white frosts or winter.
No danger of fly In barley.
Best soil Is a sandy loam, or dry clay.
Never wet 01 sprouty, or where water
can stnnd over nt any time of the
year well tiled clay will do, but loam
or sand Is best. An ordinary soil for
wheat will raise good barley. Barley
doesn't grow ns high as wheat by six
or eight Inches, and the straw is soft
ns oats straw, nnd Is better feed for
stock than wheat or oats, and the
beards are full six inches in length
and are relished by nil kinds of stock

Baker, in Indiana Farmer.
The Mfo nf tba Soil.
Every time crops nre hauled nwny off
the farm, life is hauled away from tho
soil, nnd the farm loses in value. Even
hauling away hay and straw Is pretty
nearly Jas bud; nnd the old-time way of
burning straw is worse.
I know an eccentric man once who
would not even have his fruit gathered
and made use of, because he said it
whs due to the earth to return to her
what she had taken the trouble to pro
duce! The Indian to-day, who fights against
civilization, says, "Grass mother
ivnrtli hair. I not cut mother hair.
Earth mother breast. I not plow
mother breast!"
But to get value from the farm, some-
thing must be shipped. The question
s. what shall tbut be, to be the most
advantageous?
The answer, according to a friend of
mine, is "That which will take the
least value from the soil, nnd which
will be the most easily replaced. To
bis end the value must bo lu the most
oncentrnted form."
Clearly, meat stuffs; cream nnd eggs
re highly concentrated products. Of
course the cost of production and the
market values havo to bo considered in
making the selection.
Everything raised on tho farm (what
Is not wanted for the family larder),
can be turned into these crops. More
money can be made off them than off
other things. When yon haul them
away, you leave the bulk 'of tho life
of the soil behind Live weight and
cream weight have so little bulk, com
paratively, and tbo small extraction of
fertility can bo replaced at small cost.
The skim milk occupies a correspond
ing place to the cream, that the per
manent pasture does of the live stock,
when it goes eventually to the cattle
dealer.
A Government bulletin makes "skim"
worth from fifteen to tiilrty-flvo cents
a hundred for feeding purposes. Fed
to poultry it is easily worth from tblr-ty-flvo
to fifty cents. L. A. N., In In

flood Whitewash For Traa.
tn the New England States white
wash Is frequently applied to fruit
trees, especially apple trees, and seem
to have the effect of keeping off fungus

used there Is generally made by simply
slaking tho linn with told water. But
it would be better to slake the lime
with bet water. It may be made to
stick better by adding some skimmed
milk. Some (Ten heat some glue, and
whon It has become u tbln liquid dilute
It witb hot water and add it to the
wash. This still further helps the
sticking quality.

"I want to buy a quart of rum," waa
the reply, "to keep Fourth of July."
"Now, Tom," said grandfather,
"can't you keep Fourth of July on a

Tom considered for a moment, and
looking his employer straight in the

Another Cant, of Tumor Cured
by Lydia K Pinkham's Vegeta

Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
" About three years ago I had intense pain
in my stomach, with cramp and racing
headache. The doctor prescribed for me,
but finding that I did not gvt any better he
examined me and, to my surprise, declared
a iisri a mmcr in iae uterus.
"I felt iure that it meant my death warrant,
and wo very disheartened. I spent hundred
of dollar in doctoring, but the tumor kept
growing, till the doctor aid that nothing but
an operation would save me. Fortunately I
corresponded with my aunt in the New Eng
and State, who adriaed me to try Lydia E.
Pinkham Vegetable Compound before sub
mitting to an operation, and I at once ctarted
taking a regular treatment, finding to my
frreat relief that my general health began to
mprove, and after three month I noticed
that the tumor bad reduced in size. I kept
on taking the Compound, and in ten months
it hod entirely disappeared without an oper
ation, nnd using no medicine but Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and word
fail to express how grateful I am for the good
it bo done me." Mis Luella Adams, Colon

proves the value of Lydia E. Pinkham's
