Active for Home Rule.

The home rule mass meeting to be
held at Market hall on the evening OF
the 9th OF April, will be apparently the
inauguration of general movement all
through the Northwest in favor of home
rule. The following correspondence
seems to indicate that st. Paul is by no
means the only place where the move
ment Is being actively pushed:

The practice OF dipping sheep in the
spring and fall Is useful and healthful
in two ways. II gets rid of the innu-
merable cutaneous parasites that infest
the flock and weary them by their con-
tinual biting and the consequent ex-
haustion by the loss of SO much blood,
and it is equal to warm bath, which
30 refreshes the owner tired and an
noyed by the constant gathering of un-
wholesome excretions from the skin
This excretion Is enormous in the sheep,
and as the yollx and grease which col
lect in SO large quantity on tho sheep
prevent the healthful perspiration
which would otherwise carry off inn
pure matter that must necessarily be
got rid OF to preserve the animal in
good health. and as this interfercs as
every other unhealthful condition with
the growth of the fleece, as well as with
the vigor of the sheep and the pros
perity of the lamb, it will pay to dip
the flock, although there may be no
ticks or scab to make it imperative

notions, Herbert. should have thought
it your duty to stay at home and look
after her"
$50 it would be, Fred, were it not
that duty to my God and country comes
first. Mother is true American wom-
an, and would despise herself should
she hold back from the good cause all
she had to give; and, by and by, she
would come, in her secret heart, to
despise me also were 1 craven enough
to be SO restrained. No, must go, and
you had better come too, Fred"
''Whewl Wouldn't like to see my
self doing it? | guess Uncle Sans got
plenty of men without either of u.s."
"Yes, Fred, but suppose everyone ar
gued in that way, how many would he
have? Because others see their duty
and do it is no reason why you should
shirl1 yours. How would you feel after
the war is over and our victorious boys
return, to be pointed at as fellow who
preferred his own ease to his country's
good?"
"Are you so sure our side aciH be vic
tor1ous, Aerbert1
''Hello, Fredl none of that, unless
you want to quarrel with me-" sharply
replied Leslie, and the boys parted for
the time.
Herbert Leslie and Fred Ainslie had
been schoolmates and since then fast
friends, and although of widely differ
ent dispositions this fact drew them,
perhaps, only closer together
The former, bold, fearless fellow,
generous to fault and an ideal type of
American youth, was now studying law
In the office of Sharp & Pierson, while the
latter, of timid, hesitating nature and
little inclined TO face responsibility or
danger, found congenial employment
behind the counter of large dry-goods
store.
The conversation above recorded was
but the first of many of like nature
held between the young men during the
next ten days, and the matter ended by
Fred catching the contagion of his
friends ardent patriotism and agreeing
to stand by him through thick and thin.
So it happened that, one morning in
April, 1864, the boys walked into a re-
cruiting Office on Water street, New
York, and enlisted as volunteers at
large for the whole period of the war.
Having stipulated not TO be enrolled
until evening, they then strolled off up
town to make preparations for their
new life and bid farewell to friends
AS they went along Broadway, Leslie
musingly said: do you know, Fred,
what has become of our old classmate,
Sydney Temple, of Charleston? A splen-
did fellow he was. Do you remember
how he licked that big bully, Tom
White, the day OF our great match
with the Neptune?'
"Well, should think so! Tom was too
old and heavy for any of us and was
running the whole game to suit himself,
and when sgd said he was wrong in
ruling point against him he called the
fiery southerner liar. sgd knocked
him heels over head quicker than light
ming and then belted him till he roared
for mercy.
81 won't forget Sydney Temple in a
hurry, but don't know where he is nov.
He was taking course at Bellevue,
and met him near Trinity u few weeks
ago. He said then that he couldn't

FIVE MILLION BUSHELS.
That Is About the Annual Crop of Pc
nuts In This Country.

That Is About the Annual Crop of Pea
nuts In This Country.
The ''goober" industry of Norfolk is
unique. Here is little city in Vir-
ginia that has become the greatest
distributing center of peanuts in the
world. A peanut is n pretty small
item, but an annual crop of something
like 100000 bushels, worth millions
of dollars, makes a pretty big item.
The demand for goobers has doubled
within the last five years, and the sup
ply does not yet fill the growing de-
mand. Few people know the curious
uses to which the goober has been put
in trade quite of late years No other
single plant raised in this country is
used in so many different ways. The
Chinese say that the cocoanut palm
has as many useful properties as there
are days in the year. The goober Is
not so universal as that, but it has
as many valuable qualities as there
are days in the week, says the
New York Independent. The solid
part of the nut is peculiarly nu-
tritive and supplies fruit and food for
many family. The vines make fine
fodder, some say as good as clover hay,
while hogs fatten on what is left in
the fields after the crop has been gath
cred
II you grind the nut you get sweet
quality of flour, with which the house
wife makes delicious biscuit If you
squeeze it you obtain n valuable oil re-
sembling olive oil and used for similar

into the manufacture of the better
grade of soaps. The kernels are roast
ed for coffee. The roasted kernels are
also used in the manufacture of some
kinds of chocolate. The confectioner
helps to ruin our digestion in boyhood
DAYS with peanut candy; the Georgia
cook alone knows how to make rich
pastry of pounded peanuts. The art
list, with paint brush, silks and satins,
creates novel and beautiful peanut or
naments; so that peanut dolls and other
curios may now be seen in the shop win
dows, especially around the holidays.
These are some of the ways in which
the leguminous nut is useful to us.
The goober is grown more or less in all
the southern states. The bulk of our
supply comes from Virginia, North Car
olina and Georgia. Down south these
edible nuts are called ''goobers" or
'pinders." They are not known as
peanuts. Now that the demand is in
creasing and good prices are obtained.
more growers are going into the busi-
ness every year. Few crops are easier
to raise than the goober. II is
hardy, prolific plant, and requires no
more care and attention than a crop
of potatoes.

Just Such Clothes rs They Were Married
Ia Sixty Years Ago.
\ year ago last spring, ays Scran-
ton (Pa-l correspondent Of the New
York Sun, Mrs. Henry =. shetland. of
Gibson township, Susquehanna county.
said 10 her husband: Henry, we
ought 10 raise some tlax this wear"
The aged farmer hadn't raised crop
of flax in thirty-nine years, 50 he
asked: What for, Elizabeth?'' We'll,
you know, Henry" replied the good
old wife, If we live till year from
June well have been married sixty
years, and | thought Il would be nice
to give party then and receive our
guests in the same kind of linen cloth
ing we wore when we stood up TO be
married down in Connecticut in 1888.
We've got all of the old flax tools
stored away, and ii you'll raise some
fax, Henry, I'll spin and weave it and
make a nice homemade suit for each
of u.s."
Farmer Shetland was eighty-six and
his wife eighty-fve at the time Both
were rugged and healthy, and when
the old farmer had thought the matter
over for a moment he exclaimed; by
George, Elizabeth, I'll do it."
A few days afterward the old farmer
prepared piece of rich ground back
of the barn and sowed patch of fax.
The aged couple watched its growth
every DAY with anxiety. The crop was
excellent and when it had got ripe in
the fall Farmer Shetland gathered it,
beat the seeds from the tops, and
spread the straw on the grass to rot.
In November he tied it up In bundles
and packed it away in the barn.
On beautiful sap morning in March
Farmer Shetland brought out the flax
and stood 1t up along the south side of
the barn The wind was In the north
and in day or so the fax was as dry
as bone. Then the old farmer broke
it, swingled it, and turned it over to
his aged wife, who Immediately tied
up her head, shut herself in the l1itch-
en- and hatcheled the flax till all the
tow was separated from it. The next
day she got the old spinning
from the garret, oiled it up, and began
to make it buzz musically. Farmer
Shetland came in smiling and happy
while his wife was spinning.
''I'd rather hear that wheel than N
piano, Elizabeth" he said. 1T is like
old times"
$50 it does, Henry. But can't make
the wheel go as fast as used to-"
In a few days the old lady had spun
all the flax and reeled IL into skeins-
The next thing she did was to boil the
skeins in weak lye of wood ashes to
bleach the yarn, and when that was
done Farmer Shetland ripsed the
skeins in the brook till all the I've was
out. Mrs. Shetland began at once to
weave the yarn in the old loom, and by
June 1 she had woven it all into cloth.
Within three weeks the old lady
cut and made a frock and apron for
herself and a whole suit for her hus-
band, and June 90 last the aged couple,
dressed in their homespun linen gar
ments, celebrated the sixtieth ami
versary of their marriage in a COM
pany of three-score relatives and
friends.

A correspondent wants Il. To tell hira

than corn or oats. This is all re:asona-

IL is easier to ask questions than an

hardly two feeders who follow the same
plan. Those who use most of it lear aesi
to use ii through practice We know
one feeder who fattcned large bunch
of steers on ground linseed cake and

the great surprise IF his rcighbors
He is Scotchman and claimed to be
following the method in vogue where
he came from. Another feeder. who
lives in Iowa, buys steers in the spring
and fattcrs them on ground linseed
cake, corn AID grass, an. sells them in
the fall lie winters no cattle, and ne
claims To Ln.l.sa nanev il,s. -,.'--.
Incse are extreme cases, and we
would not recommend either to a be-
ginner
a good authority claims that in
hundred pounds OF corn eight pounds
20 10 INA e muscle anu DOEle dstN seven
ty-five pounds to make fat. Ia Il hun
dred pounds OF oats eight pounds
20 to muscle and bone and Efty-five
pounds to fat But in hundred pounds
of ground linseed cake scventy-five
pounds go TO muscle and bone and forty
pounds to fat These are probably. at
least approximately. correct 1t seems
plain, therefore, that If fat alone Is
wanted. cora is the best food. But II
muscle and bone arc wanted, then the
reason, then, that for young. growing
animals the linseed cake is most desira-
ble. We believe, however, that n
mixed ration will give the best results.
II is claimed for the cake, however, that
even where animals are fed for fatten-
ing, n goodly quantity of it can be fed
to advantage, owing to its having the
effect of keeping the stomach in good
condition ard causing all food to be
more readily assimilaicd. The fact is,
the use of linseed cake in this country
is yet in its infancy. No one has re-
duced it to n set of rules Those who
have used it most seem to be the best
pleased with the results. Some mix it
up in n slop or mash for pigs and others
feed 1t dry. 1t does seem. too, that
ground pretty coarse and feed it dry
either by itself or mixed with oats or
corn. or both. Prairie Farmer.
