summer afternoon, and heard him tell
the story of his life. He had for many
years been troubled with insomnia and
was very poor sleeper, and he always
had the window curtain Of his room
up so as to see the first intimation Of
sunrise. When he was breathing his
last, in the morning hour, in his home
in the Massachusetts village, the nurse
thought that the light of the rising
sun was too strong for him, and so
pulled the window curtain down. The
last thing the great Quaker poet did
was to wave his hand to have the cur

also as to how much grain it would pay

With.
2 Any increase in the grain fed over
six pounds per day increased the cost
or the dairy products almost without
exception; and the test indicates that
with the folders used; eight pounds OF
grain is the highest limit for the great
est profit.
j. Considered from the point OF price,
lucerne hay and grain seem to be a
more economic ration than one of mix
I'd hay and grain, but considering the
weight of food there is very little diff
ference, though the results are slightly
In favor of lucerne.
4. 1t is evident from these tests that,
with the price Of lucerne as reported
1915 per toni, cows may be fed at a
:Ood cost in winter of less than nine
cents day per 1000 pounds live
weight, even with cows that will pro-
duce one pound Of butter or more day.
5. The test also shows that, with the
right kind of cows. butter fat may be
produced during the winter at a cost
of not more than nine cents per pound.
6. The cows which were the largest
eaters per 1000 pounds live weight,
were, without exception, the largest
and most economic producers.

A Hundred Miles an Hour.

An electrical engineer has been cx-
hibiting in London the model of his
proposed single rail electric line for
speeds of $50 miles an hour. The rail
is fixed on Vshaped trestle, and runs
up into the body OF the car, which, as
it were, runs astride of it. The car
runs on twelve bearing wheels, and
seats 135 passengers, with space for
their baggage. One OF the difficulties
met with in schemes for excessively
high speed travel is the tendency Of
the car to run off the track. BY run
ming the rail within the car the lateral
tendency OF the train is overcome. But
in this late scheme the great difficulty
seems to be the passenger. What
would happen to the passenger when
the train took sharp curve while 60

Poultry Science.

From bulletin No. 5, of Wisconsin
Farm Institutes we republish the fol-
lowing, as part Of an address by Mrs.
Ida T.. Tilson:
Since like produces like" neither
the largest nor the smallest eggs are
best for setting, because neither giants
nor dwarfs are desirable. Medium sized
eggs should be cultivated, as they best
fill shipping boxes and cooking rules.
A fiat or ill-shaped egg will break
easier than the perfect oval, Natures
arch. Ii sitter accidentally breaks
an egg, her nest must be repaired, and
smeared eggs washed in warm water
and wiped, as closed pores will suf-
focate the embryo chick. / am as ex-
peditious as possible and otherwise
never disturb a nest, not even to test
the fertility of eggs. To sprinkle eggs
may be necessary when sitter is so
confined that she can never battle her
teet and trail her wings in dew. One
snterprising hen made stolen nest OF
disused horse collar, lying on a
bare board shelf, and presented me
eighteen chicks. Another proud
mother marshaled sixteen from the

lining the shell dries, in incubation,
the shell itself grows brittle, and it
would seem that any chick worth rails

Value of sheep.

It does not require a large farm ts
keep a small flock of sheep, which ev-
erything considered is the best, says
the Missouri Farmer. 1t should be
well fenced so that they can be kept
where wanted. Many rough, worm
out farm might be brought up and
made valuable by raising sheep. There
is no stock so wei adapted to rugged
hillsides or rough pastures, or to pre-
vent the growth OF weeds and bushes.
Where sheep have the range of a field
very few weeds will go to seed, and
bushes will be so thoroughly cropped
that they will either die or be kept
back. When farmer can thus easily
turn the weeds and bushes of farm in
to excellent manure. and at the same
time have them converted into mutton
and wool, it is certainly good thing.
Sheep will thrive in pasture and get
fat where cattle would almost starye.
They also scatter their droppings over
the field and never fail to enrich lands,
where kept. Feed them extra, for this
additional food works to the profit of
the raiser in two ways-it not only
insures a good growth of flesh and
WOOL but it makes the manure richer
and more valuable.
To make the most profit out OF sheep
they should be well fed and cared for,
A sheep must be fed to make the best
mutton, but few conceive that a we'll
fed sheep produces more wool than one
poorly cared for. Wool is product
from feeding, the same as fat, and
many farmers lose half the profit from
neglect to feed properly. Sheep should
have, besides good feed, dry, clean
quarters. sheltered from rain ane
storms.

Indoor Dairy Work for Women.


Mrs. r. r. Wood writes to the "Jer-
sey Bulletin" that woman's place in the
dairy is indoors because she has finer
sense Of smell and taste than man.
Most men use tobacco, which of itself
units any man for handling butter or
standing over the cream vat. Many
men absolutely do not know by their
own sense Of taste when butter is right
and when it is wrong. The use of to-
bacco in any form destroys the finer
sensibilities of smell and taste, par
ticularly the latter. Neither are men
naturally SO cleanly as women. They
see no sense in ''everlastingly scrub
do" according to mans idea of
cleanliness. OF course this is not true
of all men, but taking the country
through, Mrs. Wood asks how many
men can you find whom you would
trust to do the fine work of butter
making in your dairy? 1t is no place
fora man, more than to turn the churn
handle by force of his superior muscu-
lar strength. The proper place for a
woman is in the house, not about the
barn, and milking should not be classed
as woman's work on any farm. unless
where dairy maids are hired for that
special purpose. To this plan, where
the dairying is extensive enough to
warrant it, have no objection, but
do object most decidedly to making a
milkmaid of the house mother, who
has already more than she ought to do,
and keep within legitimate boundaries.
Let her do the indoor work of the
dairy and let the men folks do the
outdoor work. This will be dividing it
more evenly.

SUICIDE IN THE CELL,
4 Pigts Fatally SHOT and a SquaW Muir
dGrsd at The Reservation.

Monday evening n little after dark at
the Reservation an Indian named Little
Sam shot and killed a squaw andkfaially
shot George Mersrrve, it being a case
OF which the dusky feminine gentder was
in dispute.
The squaw was the wife Of George
Merserye, who lett her, and afterwards
Little Sam married her. Afterwards
George Merserve came back and was
living with the squaw, when the
question came in dispute as TO whose
wife she should be.
The Indian court was to settle the
question and it became evident that the
court would decide in favor of George
Merserve on the following day after the
evening of the crime. But the decision
was stopped by the use of a Colts Navy
in hands of Little Sam.
The murder caused much excitement
among the Indians and they loon began
talking OF lynching him, when he was
taken by VIM. Gleason, Allen Lee, and
an Indian policeman, hid in a wagon and
brought to Wadsworth where Constable
Lothrop placed him in Jail. awaiting for
instructions from U. S. Marshal.
At five O'Clock last evening Deputy
Constable Dowding went to the Jail cell
to give the murder r his supper, paused
at the sight OF Little sam, dead, hanging
next 10 the side of the cell by means OF
a rope made Il of "A blue jumper which
he had worn. The rope was tied through
the top Of the cell making a loop big
enough for Little Sam to get his head
through and when this was done Mr..
Indian hung and choked to death with
his toes touching the floor and without
a broken neck. Constable Lothrop and
Deputy Dowding % severed the rope
and found that the body was nearly cold
and the chances are he had been dead
two or three hours. Little Sam
was last seen alive by Deputy
Dowding at 10 80 yesterday morning
when his meal was served. Mr.. Dow
ding says be was perfectly sane and
talked and ate as if nothing had hap
pened.
Constable Lothrop has notified Agent
Woetten of the death and the chances
are that he will be taken to the Reserve
and buried.
Little Sam had a chance TO reach for a
hold to release his strangling if the
idea of death had changed his determine
ton OF suicide, but death was his choice.

DEAR SIa:-Your letter of yesterday

Act of March 9th, 1891. entitled IAN Act
10 provide for the election OF School
Trustees and matters properly connected
Herewith" Statutes OF 1891, page 93,
contains all the requirements TO be
complied with in the conduct OF "a school
election. Ii you have not a copy oil the
school law containing the Act referred
to, you can get a copy of the statutes OF
1891 from Nr. Hummel, your Justice OF
the Peace. There are some points, how
ever, that are not perfectly clear from
the Statute. For instance, in regard to
the question of registration. There is
no registration required to vote at the
school election. Section 7, OF the Act
above referred to contains the oath to be
administered to a person desiring to
vote and whose qualifications are not
known to the judges and inspectors OF
election. That qualification, however,
is subject to the provisions OF Article II,
Section |, OF the Constitution which
provides that a person must have
actually, and not constructively, resided
in the State six months, The election
officers should be very active in en-
forcing the law regarding the quali6-
cations OF voters.
Very Respectfully,

Of Schools.

a member of the House who voted for
this allowance to say "we nave as much

country has long known that the great
preponderance OF wealthy men in the
Sen tie has made that body lnxuriant
and extravagant in its expenditures for
its ea.e and comfort, but it doesn't
expect the House to follow in that line,
