Western SchO0lIlOuScS.
From TiltOnn Golden Aoc

1t seems a pity that so many of the
fine school houses in the west, where
land is plenty and cheap, should be
built to the towering height of five or
six stories, compelling young girls to
do great deal of unwholcsomc run
ming up and down stairs, injurious to
their physical constitution, and often
times resulting in the chronic disorders
peculiar to the Eek. We have seen
many of these institutions which look
like Wcbster's Dictionary standing
on end. Why not, instead, build them
after the model of the dictionary lying
flat! The building committee shouid
broaden their foundations and decapi.
tate their towers. Two flights Of stars,
first and second story, nll that should
ever he seen in school Ilonse--par-
ticularly a school-house frcquented by
girls. But there seems to have been
TN ambition in the West to make the
school-house a sort Of town monument
visible for dozen miles across the
prairies of Illinois or Minnesota. The
western school-houses are in most re-
spects far superior to any others in the
country. Their defect is their undue
height. This objection is serious. We
know, from personal inspection, that
the fault OF which VIC speak is begin
ming to show itself in the WEAKNESS Of
scholars and teachers-not the males
but the females. Other new houses are
to be erected in various parts of the
western states. Our suggestion, We
think, is worthy of grave consideration.

Feeding lambs.

The American Agriculturist gives
this method of feeding lambs:
"One of the greatest difficulties in
raising early lambs, more especially
with some breeds which are not natur-
ally good mothers, is the disposition of
the eve to disown or neglect the lamb.
When she has twin lambs this not sell
dom happens. Without great attention
at yeaning time farmer may lose some
fine lambs which might easily be saved.
We have experienced this ourselves,
and have saved many early lambs by
feeding with cows milk. 1t has been
said that cows milk is poisonous to a
lamb. We never found it so, but have
had very good success, even with that
every tender breed, the Lelcesters.
The critical time with lamb, more es-
pecially in cold weather, is the first day
of its life. Often the eve may be rs
good a nurse us possible, but the lamb
may be weak and chilled. A mouthful
of warm milk will often revive lamb
when it is not able to get up to suck.

er disowned by the eve, We use tin

Immediately suck eagerly, and will
soon get accustomed to the strange
method. When a eve is weak and has
but little milk, a few spoonftlls day
will help the lamb very much. When
eve will not own her lamb
it is the best to take her and with one
hand hold up the wool SO that the lamb
can get to the teat. Let the sheep be
! held SO that she can turn her head and
! smell the lamb, and if little salt be
sprin!t!cd on it, she will commence to
lick 1t and her unmotherly objections

Fisk's Estate Melting Away in Settle
ment.

F1Sk'S Estate Melting Away in Settle.
ment.
New York Correspondence Of the Rochester Demo-
Mrs. Lucy D. Fisk has become for
the first time resident OF this city.
For several years she has lived in Bos-
ton, where the reports of her husbands
free life were weakened by distance
and by the style which she was enabled
to maintain. She is now, however,
surrounded by the full details of his
vicious career, and is compelled to wit
ness the breaking of that once golden
bubble, his estate. Mrs. Fisk is the
legal manager of her husbands affairs,
and this will be found most annoying
and perplexing task. Here are houses
to be let, rents to collect, taxes, and
insurance and repairs to be paid, In
addition to enormous sums of interest
to be raised for the holders of bonds
and mortgages. Here too are perplex-
ing matters of stock in railroads and
steamboats,, whose liquidation will
awaken the selfishness of others,
and every advantage will be
taken to diminish her claims.
All of Flsk's associates were
unprincipled men, and most of them
were confederates in robbery, hence
they will steal as readily from his es-
tates as from any other. Mrs. Fisk
met her first disappointment in this
duty in the sale of this equestrian es-
Establishment, which die not reach the
expected estimate. I asked gentle
man, before the sale, if the horses
would bring half their cost. "Oh yes,"
said he. ~ will give that much for
them" But he backed entirely: not All
article was knocked down to him, while
the prices Of the horses was much less
than the rate above mentioned. There
were at least $50, 600 sunk at the sale,
and presume that q similar loss will
attend each step toward a settlement.
The disposal of twenty houses
is no triae in this condition Of
the real estate market, and
can only be affected by great reduction
from cost. In this manner the property
will melt away and only afford vexa-
ton to those who have the deepest in
terest in it. Such loss is not an I'M
common thing in estates even better
managed than this has been. I knew
an opulent merchant, who was Presi-
dent of bank and director in one OF
the greatest railroads in this State. He
YVES estimated by experienced of his
J acquaintance as worth from $500. 600 to
! double that sum. He died suddenly,
leaving his family, it was supposed, in
an independent condition, but learned
that the net proceeds of that estate
were only $40, 500. Unless man has
| been of Il misery turn. and has secret
hoards Of cash, his estate will dwindlc
fearfully when estimate is changed to
reality.

gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
tho hair where the follicles are de-
stroycd, or the glands atrophied and
dccaycd; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, SO that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty scdi-
mcnt, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandrutf, which is often SO I'M
clearly and offensive. Free from those
dcleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be 70, nd so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy
lustre, and a grateful perfume.

Some of Their Suyings.


A LITTLE girl not thousand miles

an angel and have feathers growing out
all over her shoulders ~
A LITTLE boy was waiting to be help
ed to his portion of the turkey at the
dinner table on one Of our recent stormy
days, when looking ont Of the window
he observed that the storm had let up.
Oh it's stopped showing !" he ex-
claimed, ~ guess Gods gone to dim

THIS was master Jol.nny's conundrum {:
"What is that which has two legs, a
belly, and no head!" After posing the
entire family and the neighbor who
had dropped in, Johnny said it was "a
pair OF pantaloons. The poor little
fellow was immediately put to bed, with
mustard draftes ON his feet and wet
towel about his head.
BABY was left at Grandma's for the
afternoon. After an hour or two he
began to find it "slow" He came to

Good Cows the Cheapest.

A. the season is at hand for purchas-
ing mich COWS, we commend to gen.
eral attention the following julicious
remarks by practical man: "Many
poor men would be inclined, we fancy,
to think us wild in advising them to
pay SO much as even 800 or 1925 for
an extra good COW, the best that can be
found in the neighborhood, yet we are
confident that in majority of cases,
due care being gwen to the animals
the profit would be very much greater
than would an inferior animal. Proba-
bly, the average of cows kept for the
family use of poor men will not give
more than 1900 quarts of milk per
annum, or at the most 1900 quarts.
This amount of milk, in the family of
the ordinary mechanic or laborer, is
worth five cents quart for home con-
sumpt1on-say from SIS or $50 year.
Out of this sum is to be paid the inter-
est of the animals cost, her depreciation
in value and the price of purchased
food, which is more or less according to
the circumstances under which the fam
lily live. For 1926. even in other dis
tricts than those which are
chiefly devoted to the keeping of cows,
an excellent animal, fire
quently grade Ayrshire or Short-horn
may be purchased, that will give with
good care, on rich food, not less than
4, 900 quarts of milk per annum. In
stances are not rare of the yield reach
ing even 5000 quarts. With such an
animal we will suppose that, as in the
previous case, 800 quarts are con-
sumed by the family. and are estimated
at $75. This leaves $500 quarts of
milk for sale and, in almost every
village in the land, this milk may be
readily sold at the door for six or eight
and not seldom for ten cents quart.
At the least price-six cents-the total
amount of sales would be $3.50, which
would pay for the extra food required
to keep this larger animal in the best
condition, and for the increased interest
and depreciation, and leave handsome
profit besides. Any cow must be fed,
sheltered, MIXED, and generally at
tended to. The amount of labor re-
quired in the case of the better animal
is in no respect greater than in the
case of the poorer one. The profit of
the operation IS all real profit, and no
small account should be made of the
greater satisfaction and pleasure that
result from full milk-pails than those
half full, from fine COWS than from
scrubs It is a return to that old
principle that whatever is worth doing
is worth doing we'll and if it will pay
to keep any COW at all, it will surely pay
to keep the best COW that we can afford
to buy"
