Ignorance an Obstacle.

The greatest obstacle in the improve
ment of the poultry interests is the
general ignorance of present conditions
and results. There seem to be few
who KNOW what they are doing. Ask
q man how many eggs he got last year.
how much 1t cost to keep the hens, and
so forth, and it is exceedingly rare
that an answer can be secured. The
truth is he cannot tell; hence there is
no probability of improvement. II we
can get people to keeping close
records, we can get them to improve
their focks. We are glad that some
readers of the Farmers Review are
beginning to take deeper interest in
knowing what results they are getting

The Whole Teaching of Life.

The whole teaching of his life, in
deed, is to leave us free and to make us
reasonable and the supreme lesson OF
his life is voluntary brotherhood, fra
ternity. If you will do something for
another, if you will help him or serve
him, you will at once begin to love
him. l know there are some casuists
who distinguish here, and say that you
may love such an one, and that, in
fact you must love every one. and ii
you are good you will love every one;
but that you are not expected to like
every one. This, however, seems to be
a distinction without difference. Ii
you do not like person you do not
love him. and if you do not love him
you loathe him The curious thing in
doing kindness is that it makes you
love people even in this sublimated
sense of liking. When you love an.
other you have made him your brother;
and by the same means you can be a
brother to all men.-W. u. Howells, in
the April Century

Dogs and sheen.

The damage done to the sheep inter-
ests by dogs is beyond comprehension.
The loss annually runs up into the mil
lions. That is. the direct loss. There
is another loss, indirect: many farmers
have discontinued keeping sheep en-
tirely from the reason that their losses
have in the past been so large from the
depredations of dogs that their profits
were swept away. The dog laws passed
have been imperative to a large ex-
tent, while in some states they have en-
countered SO much opposition that they
have been repealed after being in force
only few months.
1t seems to us that dog law might
be passed that. would be effective and
yet occasion no great opposition. Peo-
pie will keep dogs. But 1t is not neces-
sary that they should keep large dogs:
that is, dogs large enough to kill a
sheep. A law might be framed taxing
dogs above certain weight. This
would be putting premium on small
dogs, and we are Of the opinion that
they would be more fashionable than
at present. The weight could be put
at the point where the sheep industry
would be protected.
1t is a pity that the farmers must be
taxed millions OF dollars each year in
the way of dead sheep that the rest of
the community may have their house
hold pets. We would like to ask our
sheep raisers to give their experience
as to sheep-killing dogs. and the weight
at which the dogs become a menace to
the sheep industry.

Coloring Butter and Oleomargarine.

The practice of coloring butter is so
universal that it is no longer regarded
as being to any extent an attempt to
deceive. Innocent as it is, it may have
to be given up in some states for the
sake of depriving oleomargarine of the
same privilege 1t Is evident that the
farmers lose more in allowing oleomar-

A Stable Butter Market. AT recent

butter said that he hoped the price for
tirst-class butter would keep at. about
20 cents. To get the greatest good out
of the business the prices should be
kept as nearly stable AS possible. This
is sensible view to take of it. Too
high prices react disastrously on any
line of industry, not only cutting off
consumption for the time being but

for the foreclosure of chattel mortage on
bar goods and that they may be sold, the
proceeds to be applied to the payment of
the note. Clark, Amber s. Clark are
attorneys for plaintiff.
ANGELA Schrader has filed a petition
for divorce from her husband, George
Schrader. Plaintiff alleges that they
were married in 1884 and that seven chill
dren have been born to them. She
charges cruelty. She also alleges that
defendant has property that he will en-
oumber or dispose of unless restrained by
the court and she therefore prays for ar
injunction SO restraining him and for 4
divorce, alimony and the custody of th'
children. Judge MoCarty granted th'
restraining injunction. Pease, Baldwin

ROMULUS COTELL.
His Neck is In the Loop and There Is
Small Chances of Saw

Akron, O., November 3.--(Special.)-
Romulus Cotell's neck is not safe yet, and
unless some decisive steps are taken at
once the sentence Of Judge Koehler that
he shall hang on Friday, November 8,
may be carried out in spite of the fact
that the supreme court has siRnitied its
intention of giving him new trial.
Some attorneys were talking the matter
over at the courthouse this morning and
it was said that the supreme court can
not 20 to the warden of the penitentiary
and tell him that senence on prisoner is
suspended
Cotell's sentence came from the COM
mon pleas court, and IL was approved by
the circuit court. Therefore, unless the
walden receives word from the court
which sentenced COtell. he will not be
fulfilling his duty II ho does not carry out
the sentence.
Officially, the court here does not know
that the supreme court is going to reverse
It's decision, and until it does, 1t can do
nothing. No transcript in the case was
taken out until last Saturday. This time
now set for the final hearing is Friday,
November 6,and as the sentence Of Judge
Kohler says that Cotell shall hang before
sunrise on that day, more definite action
will have to be taken before that time.
