TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Clean Milking Pays.
Attention to some slmplo things will
tnakc tho milking process a cleaner
one the keeping of the stable na
clean and freo from odors ns Its con
struction will permit; tho handling of
feed and bedding, especially hay and
straw, Just before milking Alls the air
with dust. Dust must bo present in
order for the bacteria to get in which
cause souring of milk.
Keep the cows clean and well
groomed. An occasional brushing will
help to do tbli, but it should not be
given Just befors milking because of the
dust Wipe off the flanks and udder
of tho cow with a damp cloth in order
to remove all loose hairs, dandruff aud
foreign materials that stick to her, in-
stead of allowing them to fall into the
milk. Clipping tho flanks and udder Is
advisable.
Use a covered pall. A hood of tiu
covering a part of the top is all that is
necessary. Tho old style flaring top
open pail catches all tho dirt possible.
Experiments In which tho actual
amount of dirt and bacteria allowed to
enter the milk In covered and oihmi
palls has been determined show a very
decided advantage for the covered pnil.
The milker himself may do much to
contaminate tho milk by mllkhig with
unclean hands and dirty clothes. A
milker with filthy habits should never
be given a seat in the cow stable.

8heep on tho Farm.
Tho care of a flock of sheep Is a Job
n good deal less swoaty nnd laborious
than the swing of tho scythe and the
hoe in an unending effort 'to kill off the
weeds. In tho presence of such a flock
the weeds rapidly disappear nnd tho
grasses take the possession of the
ground. Some farmers aro said to
hesitate about starting n flock of sheep
because of tho possible reduction of
tho duty on wool and tho decline In
price that perhaps would follow. But
this would cut no figure in tho case.
Mutton always commands a profit
able price, and tho combined returns
from mutton nnd wool, added to the
Bervlces of the sheep in keeping down
the weeds and enriching tho land, will
perhaps make the flock a highly valu
able contributor to tho prosperity of
the farm.
Silage For Horsss.
The Pennsylvania station experi
mented with feeding horses nllago, and
hero is what Professor Cocbel says of
feeding it to drnft horses:
Sllago which is made from mature
corn, is free from mold, has not
been exposed to air too long boforo
feeding and Is properly supplemented
with othor feeds which will make up
tho deficiency in protein can be fed to
horses with safety when care is used
to havo them becomo gradually accus
tomed to it.
Horses fed sllago an a portion of
their ration consumed less grain, made
their gains at lesser cost por pound,
were sleeker nnd better finished than
when fed on rations not containing
silage.
WARMING SLOP FOR
HOGS IN WINTER.
Conduces to Thrift In Breeding
and Fattening Animals,
A great many of our best feeders,
cays Farm, Stock and Homo, now
mako it a practice to feed sloop, or at
least considerable water, up until the
very last of tho feeding process, and
the majority of them warm the water
they use. Warm water helps to break
down the feed better, and it induces a
better circulation of blood to the di
gestive tract than does cold water.
One of the great difficulties always
encountered with breeding sows dur
ing the winter Is to get them to drink
sufficient water. They should drink a
great deal of it, not alone because they
need it for body functions, but also
that they will be kept satisflod without
eating so much dry feed, as to make
them overfat Water fills without fur
nishing many nutrients.
Under ordinary conditions as soon as
water begins to get real cold hogs re
fuse to drink much of it, and so they
require a larger ration of othor foed be
fore they arc satisfied. If, on tho other
fiand, the water Is warmod and Is
mixed in sufficient quantity with their
feed they will take It into tbolr sjrw
terns without the slightest objection
and will be much better off for it
Tho fed bill will also bo smaller at
the samo timo. Whether tho slop is
wnrmod for fattening stock or not, wo
would certainly advise that it be for
tho breeding stock.
Disking 8tubbl FJold.
If you havo any stubblo ground that
Jtvasn't plowed last fall go over it with
n disk before plowing next spring.
This will not only aid In coasorvlug
moisture, but it will also cotble you
to produce a better seed bed taker on.
The beet farmers aro disking before
plowing m well as after plowing now
adays. The great problem la to save
moisture. Tour crop may be measured
by the amount of molsturo you con
Borvo In your soil. Thero Isn't going to
be an ovesupply next rear.

Miss Rogers Only
Woman Cartoonist,
Photo by American Press Association.
MISS LOU ROOEHS.
A signature rather new in the car
toon world is that of "Lou Rogers."
When this name first began to appear
in the corner of breezy, up to the min
ute cartoons seen in newspapers nnd
magazines the public, and particularly
that part of it composed of brothers of
the caricaturist cult began to wonder
who this man Rogers was.
Great was their amazement when tho
truth leaked out that a woman was
the power behind the pen n tiny lit
tle woman nt that, at least in physical
proportions, but with a brain stuffed
full of original IdeaB that any arrived
cartoonist might envy.
And tho wonder was heightened
when it became known that this young
woman up to a few years before her
work appeared had spent most of her
life in a Maine lumber camp, where her
father was employed. Tho force and
meaning of n cartoon had never been
explained to Miss Ilogers. To tho lum
berman they were merely funny pic
tures caricaturing a subject or situa
tion, but tho "girl of tho Limberlost"
sensed them nnd determined to innko
her Impressions of current events
known to tho world through the car
toon medium.
now to get enough technical art
knowledge to reproduce these ideas on
paper was tho problem.
That this training has been gained
one has only to seo tho work now being
accomplished by this plucky girl.
Miss Ilogers Is an ardent suffragist
and many of her best cartoons nro to
be found In magazines published by
tho cause.
MARRIAGE AS IT IS TODAY.
Women Too Busy With Interests Out
side the Home.
Sinco all time the happiness that nt
tends a marrlago has been uncertain.
Men and women expect so much and
often give bo llttlo. Disappointment is
all too common, for tho average young
Individual expects perfection nnd finds
poor human nature.
"No man is a hero to his valet" runs,
the bitter old French proverb. It Is
perhaps ns hard to bo n hero in tho
eyes of the woman a man has married
flvo years after marriage. Familiarity
breeds contempt. It is hard to laugh
not once, but many times, at the samo
Jest, at the same old story as our moth
ers did. In the present day that is not
oven attempted.
Moat women and a great many men
only try to please before, not after,
marriage, and so marriage is not as
happy as it used to be.
Marriage formerly among women
was looked upon ns a profession. Now
It Is only an incident, and an incident
that need not contlnuo unless it mean
sugar and spico and nil that's nice to
tho woman, for her home Is often tho
last place where a wife is to bo found.
Tho modern woman is often so busj
that she cannot live at home. She
must sell roses for hospitals, organize
relief for strikers, slum among the des
titute nnd leave her husband and chil
dren to look out for themselves.
This is not quite for the happiness of
tho world, bocauso the right center of a
woman's life is her homo, nnd when
that Is vacant tho cupboard of the af
fections becomes bare. Remember, aft
er all Is snld and done, It is the man
who works for the woman. It Is he
that tolls for the bower and for the
comforts of his wife. It is therefore
Hot only foolish, but not fair, if, when
lio returns homo, tho bower is always
empty.
In Full Charge of Lighthouse.
The only woman in tho United States
In full charge of a scacoast lighthouse
is Mrs. E. A. Fish of Point Plnos, near
Pacific Grove, Cal., who has received a
letter of commendation for her twenty
years' faithful servico from the chief
of the lighthouse service, together with
s medal bearing tho Inscription "U. S
t. S." and "Efficiency." She has been
In chargo of tho Point Plnos light since
tho death in 1802 of her husband, who
was head of tho department of history
nnd physiology in tho University of
California.

INTERESTING STORY.
Tho Battle of Clinmpln's Farm; Lost
Charge on Fort Harrison,
On returning from tho first day's
work, we took a few chickens which
had gone to roost, but "being very
tired, we retired early, wherever we
could get a place to lay our weary
bones. Wo were dreaming of home,
but soon awoke to a realization of
our condition. The bugle sounded
quite early that morning, (which
caused much mourning before tho
day was out) for tho deadly fray,
which we had anticipated as we be
gan to realize we were yet among
the living.
Activity commenced immediately.
We were dealt with a pick and shov
el to commence our breast works,
which we threw up hastily In prepar
ation for action. Tho officers with
their swords had cut down the su
gar cane and corn for about a hun
dred feet or more. This being finish
ed, those four or flvo thousand men
of the Confederates who had volun
teered to tako that fort back, under
the promise of a forty days' fur
lough, were making ready under the
impression that the promise would
bo fulfilled, (sad to say it was to
many of them their everlasting fur
lough from which they never re
turned.) Their line of battle con
sisted of two lines of Confederates
about ten or fifteen feet apart, with
a reserve following, so they made
their desperate rush with Lee and
Ewell looking on. Such a moving
mass of humanity, soon to scatter
their remains on the ground and
their spirit to the God who gave It.
All was quiet until they came
to the rise of ground on which the
fort stood, then that vast column
of men began to scatter over the
ground as the musketry and artll-
lery opened upon them with deadly
destruction. Our men had fourteen
carbine shooters. We couldn't see
how they could stand such a rain of
deadly missiles; we were astonish
ed to see such heroism. Our regi
ment extended from the fort to
about a quarter of a mile along to
the left of the fort, therefore our
causaltles were not very great In
this conflict.
Three times the Confederates made
a charge and desperate as they were
they got repulsed each time. This
so discouraged them that they threw
down their arms and came in out of
danger. Those prisoners told of the
forty days' furlough and of getting
a mixture of drinks which made
them kind of crazy and savage. As
they were willing to give up the con
tention, our officers promised them
a longer furlough than Lee had.
About three o'clock, some of our
men carried the flag out some dis
tance from the fort and asked those
fellows to come and get it, hut they
had no desire now as It was too
risky.
Our regiment heing Just outside
of the fort, stretched along in front
of it to the left, we would catch all
of the brunt of tho charge, and we
were fully prepared for it. Just as
they got In motion and were about
to emerge In sight, they were dis
covered by one of our officers who
mounted the parapet and gave us
warning of their Intentions.- Then
a great shout went up along our
line which appalled them. I remem
ber that on that occasion our voices
were more like heavy artillery roll
ing and vibrating through the air,
and theirs as much like the rattle
of musketry, that the different
sound was apparent, and I couldn't
help from exclaiming, "Tell your
mothers to put you In your little
beds." I didn't make the remark
because I was any .braver than any
other, but because I didn't wish to
see any more slaughter, as it had
really excited pity within me, for I
will acknowledge that I was won
dering how the folks were at home,
and was very much pleased that the
Confederates had changed their
minds. Well, the horrors of this day
ended, and all was well with us but
how was It with the dependent upon
the slain mourning for their lov
ed ones?'
For two days the wounded lay on
the ground with tho dead, as they
would not honor our flag of truce.
On the third day we were allowed to
remove the wounded and bury the
dead. There were but a few wound
ed left. We will withhold their suf
fering condition, and now tell what
we saw on the battle field.
I think it was William Sylvester
Glbbs who went out with us to
where wo were 'burying the dead.
Laying there In rows were some of
the finest fellows wo ever saw, and
we wondered why It was so. While
thus thinking. Globs called my atten
tion to some bushes right In front of
them. Wo squatted behind them,
and saw that the bushes would hide
us from the fort but would not stop
those missiles of death, or shield the
body, as they fired very low. I took
a belt with a splendid plate C. S. A.
up It and an English rifle off of a
dead confederate's box. I think
Mr. W. S. Glbbs took a carbine which
ho brought home with him. Mr.
Glbbs now lives at Maplewood, this
county, and was as good a soldier
as we had In our company. We
lay along those lines until Novem
ber 23rd, then we went to help out
some new regiments, which If we
had failed would have been ono of
tho worst blows that had yet hap
pened to our army. If any one
doubts It, or wishes to know ahout
It, we will state It and let them
Judge for themselves.

STUDENTS STRIKE BREAKERS.
Princeton Men Take Places of Thirty
five Choir Singers.
Trenton, N. J., .Inn. Tt. Eighteen
Princeton students played the roles of
strike breakers at two services in St.
Michael's Episcopal church, taking the
places of the thirty-live members of
the church choir who were out on
strike. The choirmaster, who also
struck with the singers, was not on
hand, and neither was the old organ
ist, his place having been filled at the
morning and evening services by
George Chapman.
The strikers did such effective picket
duty, however, that tho church, usually
well filled at service, contained many
empty scats nt both the morning and
night services. The Princeton boys
did very well ns supplanters of tho
regular choir, and they seemed to enter
Into the work with a determined spirit.
The choir went on strike because,
they declared, the rector, Rev. W. B.
Eddy, was Interfering with them and
also with the choirmaster.
It was hinted today that thero would
be several resignations of vestrymen
banded in to tho pastor within a day
or so as a result of the choir incident
Tho Princeton boys after the night
service boarded a train and returned
to tho university.
DR. AV.M. E. BARKER'S
EXPERIENCE IN LONDON.
(From the Rochester Times.)
Half a century ago thero was no
city in the world where an eminent
specialist had the opportunities that
were presented to one in London;
eralizlng this fact Dr. Barker, after
graduating from Heidelburg, locat
ed In London. His practice grew so
rapidly that at the end of five years
ho established the largest practice
of any physician in that city. His
practice was confined to chronic
cases only in the treatment of rheu
matism, catarrh, kidney and bladder
diseases. He used one never-falling
prescription this same prescription
he had written thousands of times;
and he had seen patients come into
his office on crutches, who said they
had been troubled with rheumatism
for 15 and twenty years, and after
they used this special prescription
for two or three days, they would
come walking to his office, as nimbly
as a school boy, and thank him for
the good ho had done them. The
Doctor said in an interview that one
man about 45 years old camo to him
one day and said ho had 'been Injur
ed while working at the carpenter
trade about twenty years before, and
had suffered constantly since with
kidney trouble. He had tried every
thing to get relief, but nothing
seemed to do him any good. He ask
ed the Doctor If he really knew any
thing that would cure him, and he
told hlra of a never-falling remedy
for all chronic cases like his. He
wroto him a prescription and told
him to take It for a week and then
come and let him know how he was
getting along. This man came back
to his office in just four days and
said 'he had not felt as well In his
life. He also stated that his daugh
ter, whom he had taken out of
school because her eyes were too
weak to study, and she could hardly
seo from one of them at all; she
had l)een treated by Jour eye spec
ialists without relief, and after ho
had taken this prescription for two
days he says he saw it was helping
him so much ho let her take some
of it, and to their great surprise, she
Improved wonderfully almost from
the first doso. Ho told him that it
was only a week's time after she
commenced to take tho medicine un
til she could see as well as ever and
was able to return to school.
It was not until after hundreds ot
such remarkable casos had been
treated by Dr. Barker with this same
prescription that ho was -pervalled
upon In the interest of humanity to
allow the wonderful perscription to'
be put up so that every sufferer
could havo It at a very small cost
The public can now secure this pre
scription under tiio name of Blood
lne, at drug stores, or The Bloodine
Laboratories, Boston, Mass., will
supply a six weeks treatment (six
bottles) for ?2,60; 50 cents a bot
