4 Touching Incident.

There is a family in one of our large
cities dependent upon little child for
their present sunshine. A few weeks
ago the young wife and mother was
stricken down to die. TWAS so sudden,
so dreadful when the grave family
physician called them together in the
parlor, and in his solemn, professional
way intimated to them the truth there
was no help.
Then came the question who was to
tell her. Not the doctor 1t would be
cruel to let the man of science 60 10
their dear one on such an GRAND. Not
the aged mother who was to be left
childless and alone. Not the young
husband who was walking the floor
with clenched hands and rebellious
heart. Not-there was only one other,
and at this moment he looked up from
The book he had been playing with, UNI
noticed by them all, and asked gravely
lis mamma doing to die?"
Then, without waiting foran answer,
ne sped from the room aud up the
stairs as fast as his little legs would
carry him.
Friends and neighbors were watching
by the sick woman. They wonderingly
noticed the pale face of the child as he
climbed on the bed and laid his little
head on his mothers pillow.
Mamma, is you 'fraid to die?" he
asked, in sweet, caressiug tones.
The mother looked at him with swift
intelligence. Perhaps she bad been
thinking of this.
"Who-who-told-y -Charlie?'
she asked family.
Doctor, and papa, and gamma %
everybody" he whispered Mamma,
dear little mamma, don't be afraid to
die, will you?''
ono, Charlie said the young mother.
after one supreme panG of grief; mo,
mamma won be afraid
'Just shut your eyes in the dark,
mamma; teep hold OF my handAand
when you open EN-, mamma, it will be
all light there "
When the family gathered awe
stricken at the bed side Charlie held up
his little hand, saying solemnly:
"H-us-h! Ny mamma doing to sleep.
Her won wake up here any more"
Aud so it proved. There was no heart
rending farewell, no agony Of parting.
for when the young mother awoke she
had passed beyond, and, as baby Charlie
said,
1T is all light there"

EouP IN HOT WEATHER.

Don waste time and energy trying to
win back to life chickens which are ba l.
ly affected with roup at this time of
year. 1t is apt to be loves labor lost.
You can easily waste enough time over
a sick chicken to buy two or three well
ones. Give the sick bird prompt, Wig
orous and intelligent treatment, and then
if she shows no signs of recovery stop
her suffering with equal promptness.
This plan IS much less cruel and more
economical than trying to prolong what
will probably never be profitable ex-
istence.
Blchromste OF potash, says an au-
thority, is the best remedy for roup, and
it is the drug used by physicians for
diphtheria. 1t comes in powder, aud
the strongest that can be obtained at the
druggists should be used for this pur-
pose. 1t should be given dry on the
tongue in doses as large as a medium
sized pea, and it should be given four
times in twentyfour hours, followed
each time by washing head, throat and
nostrils with chlorinated soda water or
weak vinegar. A little later small diet
of cruel with meat and onions in it and
little milk puch should be given.
Kerosene is a good remedy, but it is
so harsh that the birds suffer fearfully.
Cool fresh water, with little iron in it,
should be kept near the chickens suffer
ing from rouP. Generally roup comes
from the introduction of new stock in
the poultry yard, and the best way to
avoid this is to keep new poultry in
another yard for week or two. When
the birds are convalescent they should
be given strengthening food and tonics,
and be protected from strong, bullying
chickens which would only worry then
and probably induce relapse. Roup
treated in this way should be cured in
ten days; if not it is generally hopeless
case.-Ftrna, Field mt Stockmaa.

MULE BREEDING.

A successful breeder of mules SAYS:
"If you select this branch Of stock farm
ing as your business in life, you must
attach the greatest importance to right
start. Therefore when you go into the
mule business let your first investment
of capital be in knowledge and lex
cuse the monotony) second in 'knowl-
edge, aud the third in more knowledge.
| should never purchase jack less than
fifteen hands high. Have no juggling
with such blanketed phrases as Jack
measure, tape measure chip measure
and lots of others that secure the du-
cats of the deceivable, but fifteen hands
high at the withcrs under the standard.
The Maltese jack has the best speed,
action and spirit of all, and has the
fashionable color, but is too small. The
Mammoth has the size and color, but is
too slow and actioness. We believe
the best jacks to be the Catalonian Jacks
of Spain and the Poitou jacks of France
They have been bred for black color,
good action and sound feet. The size
of the foal is generally most influenced
by the male. The shape of the foal is
generally influenced by the female.
Therefore, il we are purchasing mares
ana eau select the types we desire, let
US keep in mind the type OF mule We
desire to raise. So let us look first for
our type. If we take almost any ten sue
cessfuI Southern farmers into a mule pen.
nine of them, at least, will hunt around
until they ind mule about fifteen hands
high, with heavy body, straight back,
short forc-leg, especially below the
knees; in other words, pony built
mule. Then we may take this as the
desirable type of mule in the South, for
we are raising mules to sell and not for
park ornaments. Then let US select this
type of mare, and let us get her from
among the grade draft breeds. st.

SOME POINTS ABOUT PULLED wool.

SOME POINTS ABOUT PULLED WOOL.
Pulled wool is the name that is given
to the wool that is pulled from the skin
or pelt of the slaughtered animal. The
unwashed wool pulled from the carcass
of dead animal is distinguished as dead
pulled wool. Few farmers or shepherds
are aware of the large amount of this
description of wool produced are MANI
featured in this country OF of the fact
that in the manufacture of certain goods
the result attained By their use cannot
be produced by any other kinds. OF
pulled woods, it is said stocks in the
leading markets are ut this tirne unusu-
ally light, and manufacturers are finding
1t difficult TO obtain a supply. Accord
ing to Brd,lstreet's, we are almost entirely
dependent for woods of this description
GU our own production, as our importa.
tons of them are very small, the major
ity of these coming in on the skins, in
which condition their value is a second
AIRY and not primary consideration.
Pullers, since the first of the year, have
been kept unusually busy aud report that
hey have had smaller number of skins
-uring the past year than for several
previous years.
As stated 10y the authority above
qaoted, formerly the major part OF our
pulled wool was produced in the E,st,
but since sheep began to be slaughtered
IN the West, instead of being shipped
alive, the industry has rapidly declined
IN the East, particularly in New YORK.
i IS further said that Armour aud Swift
each pull about 5000 skins day, AMI
hat Swift has increased the capacity of
his factory SO that hereafter the output
sill be about 5000 skins instead Of 1905
as heretofore.
One additional reason which may be
given for the present scarcity of these
woois IN Eastern markets is the increas.
iaS consumption in the Middle States.
Swift reports that about four-fifth Of
the WOODS pulled in his factory last year

EFFECTS OF DEHoKNINe Upoy MILK.

EFFECTS OF DEHoRNING UPON MILK.
Says S, NJ. Babcock, Pin D.. Ten
COWS were dehorned in the evening lust
before milking. There was marked
difference in the behavior of the differ
ent cows, some of them being scarcely
effected, while with Others the effect was
decided. With all the cows that fell off
either in yield or quality, there was at
the next mornings milking an improve
ment, this being more marked in the per
cent. of fat than in the yield Of milk In
some cases this was sufficient to entirely
obscure the immediate effect.
The milk yield of other cows in the
stable was diminished almost as much on
the evening that the dehornng was done
as was that of the dehorncd COWS

Food Before Sleep.

81 am perfectly satisfied, said the
doctor, THAT were the weakly, the
smaciated, and the sleepless to nightly
take light lunch or meal of simple,
nutritious food before going to bed for
prolonged period, nine in ten of them
would be thereby lifted into a better
standard of health. Fasting during the
long interval between supper and break
fast, and the complete emptiness Of the
stomach, add greatly to their physical
Ills. All beings except man are governed
by natural laws, and every being with
stomach, except man, eats before
sleen.

TINE TO CLEAR A SWAMP.

The driest time of the year, which is
in the early fall, is the best time to clear
and drain a swamp. The clearing of

rid of the tussocks is to pull them out
by the roots with strong three pronged,
