A woman sold pig to butcher the other
day and he killed it on the premises. Now, it
is superstition with some butchers that to
cut off pigs tail insures the preservation of
the meat The pigs little tail was cut of. But
the woman was on the watch. She picked up
the tail and gave it to the butcher to be
weighed saying, Il want pay for the whole of
him" But the butcher got even with her. The
reckoning came to half cent. probably be-
cause of the addition of the tail. She wanted
the half cent of course; she always does. So
the butcher placed cent on the block, cut it
in two with his ceaver and gave her the half
cent.

At the last Dairy Convention Of North
Dakota Ex-Governor Hoard, of Wisconsin, was
asked how scours could be prevented, and he
replied: By preventing indigestion. Il is the
rarest thing in the world to see calf that runs
with its mother have seours. And whyP Is
draws its sustenance from 10 TO 20 times day,
and never gets the sconrs or gets big-bellied snd
enlarged and never gets a sour stomach. It
gets it's milk sweet and warm. Pursue the
same course with the calf Give him his feed
naturally, at least four times day, in small
quantities and warm; watch him. have care for
him. take pains and he won't have the SCOUTS;
but if be does give him little extract of rem
net. That is the best thing / know Of for
SCOUTS. but always remember that an ounce Of
prevention is worth 10 pounds Of cure. Watch
him just as you would watch a baby. No
mother gives baby cold milk and sour milk,
and gives it then only twice day, and thea
expects to raise healthy baby"

OUR RURAL TOPICS.
Some Practical Suggestions for Our
Agricultural Readers

Special Bulletin No. 30 lately issued by the
West Virginia Experiment Station. contains an
interesting and instructive address and notes
on sheep-breeding in that State by Prof A. d.
Hopkins.
In answer to the question, Do you consider
sheep profitable as any other farm product;
il not what is more pro6tsble2" the Professor
received replies from 81 correspondents in diff
fsrent parts of the State that sheep paid the
largest profit; three answered in favor Of she
dairy, one in favor Of cattle, and one in favor
OF cattle and sheep
By replies from 127 correspondents the fol-
lowing information was gained For the
favorite ram to cross with common ewes 70 pro-
duce mutton sheep" the votes were: For
Southdown. 81; Shropshire. %; Cotswod, Il;
scattering. II. TO produce market lambs":
Southdown, a; Shropshire. 30; Cotswold, II;
scattering. II. Breeds which seem to Be
favOrites": southdown, IS; Shropshire, 30;
Cotswold, z; Merino. p; scattering II. Pre-
dominating blood in improved grades: South
down, 80; Shropshire, IL; Cotswold, IL;
Merino, 20; scattering. 6.
From personal experiences and information
obtained throughout the State the Professor
concludes that it costs the farmer less to pro-
duce pound of mutton than it does to produce
pound of beef or pork; hence, sheep will pay
as we'll OF better than cattle or hogs. even IL
the wool only pays for shearing. The conelu-
sion is also reached that in West Virginia, with
lands and climate well adapted to this industry,
and situated so near the large cities Of the Eass
where the consumption of mutton is continu-
ally increasing the growing and feeding Of
sheep for mutton is one from which the largest
profits may be realized by those who give the
matter judieious management
The investigations and conclusions Of Prof.
Hopkins as to West Virginia viii hold good in
other States.

Women In the Pulpit.

There seems to be no objection what
ever to woman taking control of Sunday
schools, benevolent institutions, church
fairs, festivals and all other means of
caring for the focks and filling the eccle-
siastical exohequer. but when it comes
to women in the pulpit there is trouble
at once This is only another of the rel
les of barbarism.
In old times if the church could get
control of the women and little children
they felt pretty sure of their ability to
manage the rest Of the human family.
Half century ago woman doctor
was scarcely recognized in reputable cir
Giles, and woman lecturer was a mon
strosity Contrasting that date with the
present and taking note Of the change
in sentiment from one decade to another,
it Is scarcely too much to expect that by
another so years we shall see most
wonderful revolution in matters of this
sort. tits safe to predict that before the
end of the first decade Of the next cen.
fury the woman preacher will be nc
more of novelty than the woman doc.
tor now is. Woman is specially fitted
for such work. and even were she not sc
it would be only the strictest kind Of
justice to give her some of the honor al
well as most of the hard work of the
church. When once it dawns fully upor
the minds of the people of this genera
ton that there is no sex in intellect OF
moral achievement. the first and mos
difficult part of this knotty problem will
have been solved.
By all means open the pulpit doors t.
women as well as those of the Sunday
school room, the hospital and the execu
tive comnfittee.-New York Ledger.

Tho Fact Abou. Price. a. Chicago.

Tho Faot About Prices 1T Chicago.
"Do for heavens sake tell people that
they are not going to be robbed at Chi
cago," Is tho emphatic appeal of . young
business man of that city.
We respond to the young mans re-
quest with cheerfulness. Individuals
who have visited the exposition and Chi
cago. and who have dined and lunched
in various places In the fair grounds and
inthe town itself, find that the actual facts
are these: Prices charged for food and
lodging are about the same as the pres
ent current rates in all the large Ameri-
can cities-neither more nor less. Visitors
can get room at SIS day, or one at
from 81 to 81 day. At first there
seemed to be disposition on the part of
various lodging house keepers to fleece
right and left. Extortionate prices were
in some cases charged for even glass
of lemonade. But the newspapers took
up the matter at once and raised such
hue and cry that the cxtortioners were
glad to lower both their heads and their
prices.
Another fact to be considered is that
the person from the rural districts is nc
customed to get in the country meal
for 25 cents that in the city would cost
probably 81. 1t would naturally seem
to him that he was being robbed when
he was charged ordinary city rates,
and this, too. has added to the impress
sion Of high prices. But the extortion
idea is mistake and an injustice to Chi
cago. Go there and see for yourself.

The Treaty With Russia.

The Philadelphia Public Ledger has
this to say in an editorial on the now
Russian treaty:
Criticism of tho treaty will naturally be d.
rccted upon the paragraph excepting from po-
litical offenseS attempts upon the life of the
head of the government or OF a member of his
family.
Under the newly provided treaty, had 1t been

on trial in the United States for the ASA ina-
tion OF President Garfield. But II the mur-
der of a ruler had heen classified as political
offense lie would have been exempt from ex-
tradition according to law. There is an object
lesson.
In excepting political offenders from extra
dition the CEiied States and Russia follow tho
trend Of public opinion. Many things are po-
litical offcnses in the cars country which are
scarcely breaches of ordinance here. But an
attempt against the lie of ruler or OF his
family, whether instigated by political an
tagonism or personal Krudge, should not be
viewed as a mere political offense. 1t IS a
heinous crime against the Divine law, and its
| ernmental change.
The United States has already complex
problem on hand in dealing with criminal
classes hocking to our shores, and neither in
Justice nor mercy is It warranted in giving
asylum to foreign rcgicidcs, most of whom are
simply indoctrinated with anarchism.

A Christian Enterprise.

The particular feature of Christian eff
fort to help humanity in the present
generation is the practical turn it has
taken. The children Of light have taken
some lessons from the shrewd outside
world that have profted both the Chris
tians and the outside world. An in
stance of this practical philanthropy is
Hotel Endeavor at Chicago. TIE hotel
was established by cooperation Of the
International Society of Christian En-
deavor and the International Order of
Kings Daughters and Sons for the ac-
commodation of their members at the
fair. Members of the Y. NJ. G. A. and
of the W.C.T.U. and their friends are
also welcomed to the Worlds fair ex-
cursion parties which the Kings Daugh-
tiers and Sons and tho Christian Endeav-
orers have arranged for the summer.
Each excursion party will bo provided
with a manager and Il lady chaperon, so
that the most inexperienced young peo-
pie can be safely trusted to go without
any acquaintances. Arrangements have
been perfected whereby railway tickets
and accommodation at Hotel Endeavor
can be procured at amy point in the
United States. The expenses of the trip
have been closely figured so as to bring
them within reach of Sons and Daugh-
tiers and Endeavorers of moderate means.
Hotel Endeavor will be the official head
quarters of the fair Daughters and the
brave Sons during the fair.
