In the earlier DAYS Of which we have

In the earlier days Of which we have
spoken the stonewear OF the kannen-
bacherland had no special character OF
its own sufficient to make it easily dis
tinguishable from the productions OF
the Limbourg center from which 1T had
been imported. As general rule II
may be said that one seldom mas
original figure subjects, or delicate
friezes of ornamentatiOn, such as those
which are the glories OF the treasured
examples of old Siegburg and Raeren.
When subjects Of this kind are found
they are generally borrowed from the
older types. The relief ornamentatlon
was generally impressed by small metal
seals, and these roscttes were then con-
nected by steams and branches incised
in the clay. Often enough medallion
portrait or heraldic panel occupies the
center of the piece, but such always has
the appearance of being mere access
sorry rather than an essential detail In
the general and harm onious design.
The effect thus obtained was heightened
by the employment Of bright colored
enamels, in Difference to the rather
gaudy taste of the age; harmonious
blendings of puppies and blues are the
principal characteristics of the ware.
The nbacherland of to-day COM
prises nine busy villages, Of which the
two most populous, Hohr and Grenz
hansen, give common title to the
whole district. Hohr has between two
and three thousand population, and
signs of the craft Obtrude on every hand.
The process of manufacture is often car
ried on under the public gaze. There
are about fifty ovens in which ware is
fixed, and these belong to fully as many
master employers. AtGrenzhausen chem
ical utensils and drain pipes are among
the special goods manufactured. Grenz-
ausen's greatest fame, however, rests
on the making of a certain jug and mug
that are the joy of every beer-drinker in
Germany. In general appearance the
town is much like Hohr, as are also
Brounbach, Rousbach, Hilgert, Mayen-
dorf. Wirges, Hillscheid and Arzbach.
Inc Iast place chiefly produces mineral
water bottles, of which millions are dis
posed of annually. At the Staffordshire
potteries, where the Wedgwood ware is
produced, the whole or nearly all the
is brought from distance, the
clay and marls found at hand century
and over ago having been exhausted.
In the Hohr-Grenzhausen country, to
the contrary, raw material is contiguous
and abundant. In general appearance

STOCK ITEMS.

Salt and ashes should be kept In boz
IN convenient place where the hogs
can help themselves.
Change the feed often enough to keep
the horses with good appetite; they
will thrive better on less feed.
Even in winter it will be an item to
water the hogs regularly. Slop should
never take the place of pure water.
Oats make one of the very best materi-
ais to use in feeding young pigs, especi-
ally when they are just beginning to
eat.
All kinds of breeding animals should
have some kind of a laxative food be-
fore the offspring is born. 1t will often
avoid fever.
1t is generally best to keep one team,
at least. well shod during the winter to
use on the road when the ground Is
frozen hard.
The offspring of the best thorough
bred beef-breeds of cattle, used on ma
tive cows, will bring more money when
ready for market than scrubs.
1t is within the power of every farmer
to breed good horses, and there are few
who can afford to breed poor ones. be-
cause as rule they are not profitable.
Good training makes considerable
difference in the value of the horse To
get the best results handling and train
ing should begin when the colt is very
young.
Too many hogs should not be allowed
to bed together. While some will get
too cold. those in the middle will get
too warm and are liable to take cold
and become diseased.
1t is better to let a horse exercise at

than to have him stand in the stall idle;

fall may make him a cripple and good
for nothing ever afterward.
In a majority of cases, for the average
farmer at least. the best results can be
secured by sticking to one breed Of
hogs. Old sows mated with well-ma-
tured, vigorous boars will usually give
the unsatisfactory results.

that they give, and yet he lets them

AttOrney-General Leese Thinks the Neccs-
sary Solution of Difficulties Is Govern
ment Control.
LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 24.-In his re-
port to the Governor, giving an account
of the conduct of his office for the last
two years, Attorney General Leese has
added some fuel to the excitement
growing out of the present political mud
die in this State by handling the trans
portation question without gloves and
advocating Government control of rail-
roads. In speaking of the board of
transportation, which is composed of
Eve State officers, including the Attor-
ney-General, he says the present sys-
tenn is a complete failure. Experience
fully demonstrates that the railroads are
too powerful in their influence for the
people to expect much relief under the
present system. He recommends
that a maximum schedules of rates
should be adopted by the Legislature on
a basis with other States similarly stu
ated. He thinks the railroads should be
made to understand that it is to their
interest to tighten the burdens of the
people and not merely to make as large
a per cent. as possible for the Eastern
investor.
1.-The rates charged to-day" he says,
"are large enough to yield a dividend
amounting in some cases to per cent
on stock that cost the stockholders moth
ing whatever but for the printing, and
the officers of these roads use every eff
fort and strain every point to have the
stockholders of their roads receive their
annual dividends, and they have to do
this to hold their jobs"

FARM NOTES.

Don't feed corn to laying hens. but
feed oats and bran. Feed bran mixed
with table scraps and don't feed yellow
meal.
AS rule. in farming as in any thing
else. any thing that has been discarded
number of times may be safely let
alone.
Clover can be grown on any soil that
is in reasonably good condition, and
under ordinary conditions can be sown
in the spring or in the fall.
An important item in successful farm
ing is the keeping of sufficient num-
Der of stock to consume to advantage
all of the products of the farm.
Flowing the land to kill the cut worms
depends on how the land is situated.
Some soils are not benefited by late
blowing, especially if they are liable to
be washed by heavy rains.
Eggs and dressed poultry should be
sold by weight it would be more just
than by count to both buyer and seller.
Common dunghill fowls when fat will
weigh three pounds; light and dark
Brahmas, partridge and buff Cochins
weigh from five to eight pounds dressed,
and Plymouth Rocks from five to seven
pounds.
Three turkey hens with one gobler will
usually bring as many young turkeys
as one will care to raise on the farm.
When speciality is made of them more
breeding fowls should be kept. Feed
soft feed of all kinds in troughs. If it is
fed on boards or floors the fowls will
ramp over more or less of it and make
it filthy, much more so than if fed in
trOughs.
Clover and orchard grass will ripen
first, then timothy, red top, and lastly
Hungarian or millet. For market tim
othy is of more value than any other
kind of hay and will sell at higher prices.
1t is considered the best hay of all for
horses. For feeding to stock on the
farm there are few, if any, kinds Of
grass that equals good clover II
cut at the right stage and properly
cured. Red top ripens last, and while
it is s good grass, is not considered
equal to clover, orchard grass or timo-
thy for hay.
1t is not the agricultural college that
weans the boy from the farm, but the
dude literary college that gives a smat-
tering of science, the languages dead
and literature. 1t IS reliably stated
that in Ontario, where they make a
business of sending children to agricnlt-
ural schools, more than SIS per cent. Of
them go back to the farm. And Presi-
dent Chamberlain says he has often
wished that he could exchange two
years study of Latin, Greek and phil
osophy for the instruction that is usual
~ given in real agricultural college

made in Flemish-land; but, as will pres
emily be seen, the scoffers are wrong.
The province of Limburg. however,
GUM which was SO long one OF the
principal seats of this manufacture, has
always been frontier State. and had
always been up to 1914 subject to the
counts and other rulers of Flanders.
The ware is in truth essentially Ger
man in its history, and in the character
istics of it's diversified forms and artis-
tic embellishments. The precise date
and place of its origin remain unknown.
A well-authenticated fragment of the
brown ware bears tho date of 1889; but
examples Of a rude, unglazed, white
ware, and of a coarse, earthen body of
dark gray, smeared with lead glaze,
have been found in excavations, and
may be supposed to have been the pro-
auctions of a very remote period. But
evidently, by the middle of the sixteenth
century the art had attained to some
ling like perfection. For two centur-
les Germany retained the monopoly, and
kept Europe supplied with drinking YES
sells adapted very much to the tastes, to
the measures and to the usages of differ
emit lands. 1t was toward the end of the
eighteenth century when successful
attempt was made by one Dwight, of
Fulham, to produce the like articles in
England. This was, however, a period
of remarkable activity among En-
glish potters. The picturesque, though
rude, puzzle-jugs and tygs had been the
product of much ingenuity; but they
were disappearing before the beautiful
salt-glaze ware, much of which has new
er been excelled in perfection of form
and sharpness Of ornament, and which
had attained to the highest degree of
artistic quality before the advent of
Josiah Wedgwood.
The stoneware, however. properly so
called, was probably produced in num-
berless localities all over Germany and
,the low countries, where suitable clay
and natural aptitude existed. But there
are few districts to which peculiar in
-terest attaches; these were seats of
characteristic and often remarkable
original styles. Among the most notable
places was Siegburg, situated not far
from Bonn, on a tributary of the Rhine.
There were produced the tall, cylindri-
cal cannettes in what was long known
as Cologne ware, and other articles Of
like kind in a white body, often I'M
glazed, but richly embossed with elab-
crate figures and ornaments in relief.
Siegburg suffered severely during the
seventeenth century wars, and the pot
tiers, despairing of carrying on their in
: dustry in peaceful security, emigrated
10 other lands. All attempts to induce
them to return were unsuccessful; but
some fifty years ago an enterprising pot
ter undertook to revive the business.
With the aid Of old molds, gathered
from different directions, and following
closely the old traditions, he began the
production of ware of the old type.
These pieces found ready sale, being

The jewish Ritual Reformed.

CINCINNATI, Dec. 26.-The committee
appointed at the central rabbinical con-
ference at Cleveland last July to formu-
late ritual to be used by all the jew
ish synagogues in the United States met
here and has agreed upon the following
plan: The Sabbath and holiday prayers
will be so recast as to be in accordance
with the modern conception of Judaism,
so that while retaining the striking and
typical sentences in the Hebrew, the
greater part of the service will be in
English. Special forms of prayer will
also be added for special occasions, such
as marriages, funerals, combinations,
passover celebrations. etc.

If you have leisure or if you see smoke
rising from your manure pile, fork it
over even, if possible, every other week
it will save the escaping gases and help
in the speedier decomposition of straw
and other fiber. Mix the droppings Of
your hen house with the pile as you fork
it over. Chamber slops should always
be thrown onto the pile.

SOLDIERS SURROUNDED.
Forced March of Major Carroll to Relieve
Captain Fontaine.


DICKINSON, n. D., Dec. 26.-Major
Carroll made forced march Tuesday
night with fifty-five cavalry of sixty-five
miles in fourteen hours up the Cannon
Ball, arriving at New England City at s
a. m, complying with orders from Fort
Yates by courier to the effect that Cap
tain Fontaine, of the Eighth cavalry,
was surrounded in Cave Hills by 500 In
aians.
Two hours rest was taken at New
England City and Major Carroll contin-
ued the forced march southwest in the
direction of Cave Hills, fifty miles dist
ant. His force got to Captain Fount-
aine's assistance yesterday morning.
Aid may have come in from the south
west: if not, the surrounded forces are
thought to be in position to hold off

WASHINGTON CRY, Oct 2-Judge Sawyer on
behalf OF u majority of the kaum committee
stated tonight 10 the Associated Press agent that
he learned with surprise tnat the minority re-
port had been given out. II was well under
stood by the committee that the evidences was
Lot all ia and the investigation not closed.
Taxing mp the allegations in the minority re-
port one by one. Judge Sawyer said there was
not one of the statements that he believed was
borne out by the evidence. incomplete though
1t was. AS TO the list of ockholders. the proof
showed that Smyser subscribed alone for stock
and that the others interested with him made
subscriptions.
Rams private secretary. the evidence showed
that al the outside he had only written four or
i've letters on the refrigerator com pany's busi-
ness IN the .eneion Office during Office hours.
His association with the Distr CT of Columbia
branch company WAS purely nominal, and this
company itself had not yet been brought into
active existence. Tanners promotion was
shown to have been made in fulfiiIment OF
promise to Raum's predecessor. With this ex-
ception there was no evidence to show tnat
anybody employed in the pension Office was di-
recuy or indirectly the owner of any stock in
the refrigerator company.
The majority had carefully analyzed the
testimony with regard to fayoritism TO attor-
neys and mad reached the conclusion that ia.
vorltism was impossible.
The majority of the committee earnestly ap-
prove the order establishing the com pleted files
system as expediting business. They found that
there was no evidence to show that the COM
missioner had ever failed to give the time and
attention to duties which should be expected.
Judgs Sawyer remarked IN conclusion that he
gave expression to what. he understood to be the
views of the majority with some hesitation
because he did not understand the investigation
was yet closed but as the minority had seen Ht

to do so. When asked in regard TO Le mons

was that this enterprise had been broug.t to
Lemons attention before Raum became com.

committee as to the value OF the shares was
that one sale had been made at $S4 per share.
