Lee Cossart IS repairing and
refittlng the old Bodies wooden mill,
now owned by Moses Kemp, and
will soon be ready to operate this
long idle plant. We have needed
woolen mill here for number of
years and there is no reason why a
mill, well supplied with the neces-
sary machinery and skillfully and
honorably operated, should not be
a success. We have the sheep, are
improving them from time to time,
and will have more when our meek
bearers of the snowy feeces are
adequately protected against cheap
Australian products.

For every quarter IN a mans
pocket there are a dozen uses; and
to use each one in such a way as
to derive the most benefit is a ques-
tion every one must solye for him
self. We believe, however, that no
better use could be made of one of
these quarters than to exchange it
for bottle of Chamberlain's Cholic

ArmOur's Religion.

In the course Of conversation with
Philip ID. Armour of Chicago the other
day Frank G. Carpenter, the newspaper
correspondent, asked him if he was a
Christian. II am not a Christian was
Mr.. Armour reply, sin the sense of be-
ing member Of the church, but 1 believe
in Christianity. believe in Christ rather
than creeds go to church, and my boys
have been brought up to go to church. l
know that they went when they were
young. am afraid they don't go as much
as they should now. The churches are all
right, and think the closer a man keeps
to them the better. 1t makes little differ
cnce to me, however, as to the minor parts
OF the different doctrines which the
churches profess, and think that there is
about an equal chance for the Catholics
and Protestants-that they are each on the
right road to heaven "You were speak
ing of your boys, Mr.. Armour. How about
them? Are they good business men?" 81
think So" said Mr. Armour as a smile of
conscious pride came across his face. "My
boys are, you know, my partners. They
do most of the business now, and all 1
have to do is to sit here and kick now and
then"

Triboulet, the Jester.

Here is a story of Triboulet, the jester
OF Francis and probably the most famous
in history:
"A great nobleman who had suffered
from Triboulet's gibes threatened to have
him logged. The jester complained to the
king. Have no fear Francis said, 'for il
any one were bold enough to kill YOU
should have him hanged in an hour after
ward. oh, sire, replied Triboulet,
would 1t not please your majesty to have
him hanged an hour before?' Triboulet
happened to be present at meeting of the
council at which there was discussion as
to the road by which the French arny
should invade Italy. Gentlemen, inter
rupted the Jester, you appear to consider
yourselves very wise, but you are strangely
mistaken, for you have forgotten the most
essential point. And what is the most
essential points' queried grave councillor
IT Is simple enough, answered Triboulet.
You have deliberated at great length az to
the road by which you shall enter italy.
but you have never thought of the one Won
will take when you have to leave it again. /"

about apologies and how awkward they
were to make and still more awkward
sometimes to receive. One woman said
that she always felt like "apologizing 70,

occasion to say to his congregation, 4 see

Farm Notes.

This excellent advice by recognized
authority is worth reading and heed.

Draw in hay when the sun shines
and it is warm, say between IL A. NJ

drawn in after dew begins to fall al
night, which is often by ) O'clock will
be more or less musty. Avoid tramp
ing clover in the NOW when you are
drawing in, any more than is neces-
sary. Pitch it around lightly TRAMP
it down the next morning, if you like
before putting any more of it in.
Don't salt the hay 1t will not keel
any better. and you can hardly get il
evenly distributed, and stock will be
obliged to eat the salt whether they
want it or not. to get their food. They
may often suffer from thirst as a re-
suit. Then you are losing money. Give
them salt where they can take what
they want daily.
STRAW put in layers in a NOW OF
clover will help the clover about keep

of the clover and be eaten by the ami

keep the hay good.
shut every door and window in the
barn as soon as you have the last
load of hay in in the afternoon Keep
the air in the barn as warm as pos
sible. Open up about 8 A. NJ. next day
The steam arising from a hot NOW be-

air and the moisture falls back on the
hay. Much hay is spoiled in this way

but don't dry the life out of it. 1t is
better cured partly in the cock or
windrow, if settled weather. But, on
the other hand. don't put up green,
heavy grass or clover. Better get
more of the moisture out while out
doors: saves handling. When you can
not twist any little drops of sap out of
a few clover stalks, twisting with all
your might. if it is hot afternoon and
no rain or dew on the hay, slap it into

to go by than the time it has been
