1t was unanimously pronounced time
ly, useful and permanent-useful not
only in preparing the garden, but in
digging horse-radish, setting out small
fruits, pie-plant, young trees, an"i DO
ing a dozen other jobs where even a
fork would not serve well. In dig
ging post holes, it performs a most
useful mission.
Many another old shovel might be thus
transformed, and many farmer who
does not know the usefulness of the
English slane could easily provide him
self with one of these tools by bending
the broad blade of an old shovel at an
exact right angle with itself, rs shown
in Fig. .. For the rapid getting out of
peat and muck, this tool has no equal,
as it will cut two sides of each block at
one stroke, and when the bog is once
opened, every motion produces n COM

EDWIN BOOTH.

Edwin Booth was born in Belair, near
Baltimore. Md, November l3, 1888. and
was the son of Junius Brutus Booth,
the elder, an English actor, who OBJ
tanned his reputation, however, mainly
in the United States; he was named
Edwin Thomas out of compliment to
his fathers friends, Edwin Forrest and
Thomas Flynn. both great actors.
Mr.. Booths first serious illness came
on April 5, 1882 when he was stricken
with incipient paralysis while playing
in 'Othello" in the Lyceum theatre in
Rochester, The last days of Mr. Booths
life have been passed at the Players
club, in complete retirement.

CREEPS FOR LAMBS.
Why No Ffockmastcr Should Neglect t,
Build Them.


Build Them.
The value of lamb creeps is not al
ways appreciated by flock owners. 1t
is advisable to push the lambs with
grain and choice pasture. Ourillustra-
ton shows two forms of lamb creeps.
The one shown at l5 is made by mailing
Stats made from fence boards to 2X4
inch scantling at the top and bottom,
placing the Stats far enough apart to
allow the lambs to pass through read
lily. 1t can be fastened by chains as
shown in the cut, or nailed firmly to
the posts, as may seem best. This form
of creep is very convenient for widen
ing the holes, the Stats being readily
knocked loose and nailed on again max
ing the desired intervals any length
These spaces will need to be widened
as the closely shorn ewes require mar
rover creeps in May and June than the
large lamb can get through later in the
season. Another form of creep is
shown at d. 1t is open to criticism for
having the width of the holes fixed
and for having too small capacity
Lambs want to rush through quickly
when they go to feed, and when but
two can get through at the same time
it is too slow for them. The places
where creeps can be used to advantage
are numerous. Our illustration repre-
sents one corner of corral set off for
the lambs grain trough. In similar
way corner or an end of the barn can
be set apart for them. Where flocBs
are pastured within hurdles lamb creeps
can be used, lambs being allowed to
pick the fresh clover, peas, rape or 9TH
er crop before it is soiled by the flock.
There are other more elaborate creeps

FARM AND GARDEN.
NEW GARDEN TOOL.
Designed by a Bright Boy in an Hour Of


Designed by q Bright Boy In an Hour Of
Need.
A new tool made from an old one
would have been considered an impos-
sibillty Il few weeks ago, but necessity
is the mother of invention. The garden
fork got broken. 1t was a beautiful
late spring morning, the garden was in
fine shape to be planted, and the seeds
and their mistress impatient to have
the work go forward. 1t was miles to
town. We had no substitute for fork
but a clumsy stable shovel, not even II
gardeners spade. just when ready to
give up the job for u still later oppor-
tunity, one of the boys was heard vig-
orously using hammer and coal-chisel
at the barn. In a few minutes he came
into the garden, flushed with success
and pride, bearing aloft what appeared
to be n short, stiff spade. A few words
of explanation showed it to have been
made of an old shovel which had lain
idle for number of years because
the point was worn off it. He had
merely cut off the sides, leaving the
stiff back and middle portion of the
shovel, about eight inches wide Gig.

ton, but when the new tool was tried,

A Rhode Island Experience.

The Homestead tells of farmer in
Rhode Island who turned over FIVE
acres of old sward land ia May, and put
on liberal dressing of stable manure
mixed with slaughter house refuse. He
sowed it with fodder corn and raised 70
tons of fodder, which it cost him $40 to
cut and stack. AS his cattle will leave
the best upland hay to clean up this
fodder, he considers it worth at least $40
ton, and his whole outlay was about
800, which he presume does not in
clude cost of the manure. But the land
ought to be in much better condition
than before.

and the "Crow Hill negroes" were at
bitter enmity, and frequent bloody
riots occurred between them until the
evening of the day when Mayor
Brown, the last of our mayors, was
elected. 1.-THE Swampoodle Irish
gathered in crowd of over one hum
dred and fifty on the corner of North
Capitol and streets, near the govern
ment printing office site. They were
there for the purpose of doing deeds of
violence, swearing that not one of the
"Crow Hill negroes" should go home
alive that night Sergt. Austin, the
same man who as captain of police dis
persed the Cohen mob some years
later, marched to the place with a
small squad of officers. and by deter
mination and force, with the liberal
use of hickory clubs, dispersed that
mob. The "Swampoodlers" never
gathered again in force.
There was another section of the city
as bad as "Swampoodle," which was
known to the police and in the public
prints as "Hell's Bottom" 1t was be-
lieved to be properly named and was
known as the most dangerous section
of the northwestern part of the city:

perse, stating that they could not take
possession of the street with their pro-
cessions any longer without permit
from the chief of police. Cohen knew
that the supreme hour of his career as
the leader of mob had come, and he
ordered his followers to proceed down
Seventh street. AS soon as they came
within reach of the trusty clubs of the
little squad OF police they were re-
ceved warmly and sent back. Capt.
Austin not only stopped the progress
of the mob, but followed them back up
Seventh street and caused the arrest
of Cohen a I'D number of his follow
ers. That ended the Cohen riot. The
mob gave the police an ugly fight by
throwing paving stones and other mis-
siles before they gave up and receded.
Prior to that time there used to be a
great many troublous times down in
the northwestern section of the city
called "Swampoodle." You know that
election days, when they had mayor
and legislature to elect, the riots born
of rivalry between various sections OF
the city used to cause n great deal OF
trouble to we authorities. That is one
