TRUE THEN AND NOW.

An Old-rime Description of What q Ram
Should BE.
Nearly century ago Culley described
8 good ram as follows: His head
should be fine and small, his nostrils
wide and expanded, his eyes promi-
nent and rather bold or daring, ears
thin, his collar full from his breast and
shoulders, but tapering gradually ali
the way to where the neck and head
join, which should be very fine and
graceful, being perfectly free from any
coarse leather hanging down; the shout
ders broad and full, which must at the
same time join so easy to the collar for
ward, and chine backward, as to have
not the least hollow in either place; the
mutton upon his arm, or fore thigh,
must come quite to the knee, his legs
upright, with q clean, fine bone, being
equally clear from superfuous skin and
coarse hairy wool from the knee and
hough downwards; the breast broad
and well forward, which will keep his
fore legs at proper Wilderness; his girth
or chest full and deep, and, instead of
a hollow behind the shoulders, that part
by some called the fore-fank should be
quite full; the back and loins broad,
fat and straight, from which the ribs
must rise with fine circular arch; his
belly straight, the quarters long and
full, with the mutton down to the
hough, which neither stand in nor out;
his twist deep, wide and full, which,
with the broad breast, will keep his
four legs open and upright; the whole
body covered with a thin pelt, and that
with fine, bright, soft wool"

LIVE STOCK POINTERS.

Injudicious feeding causes much loss
among hogs.
In all farm work there is best time
for performing it.
1t is not good plan to pasture horses
and hogs together.
Plenty of sun and fresh air is what
growing colts want.
Quick growth and development must
come from uutriment.
Fattening sheep should always be
fed separate from the ewes.
In commencing to build up the stock
weed out all bad qualities. and do it as
fast as possible.
Young animals pay much better for
feeding than those which have passed
their best growth--Farmers' Union.

Remedy for Hog Cholera.

We have tried successfully the recipe
sent out by the government about q
year ago. 1t is Is follows: Wood char
coal. pound; sulphur, pound; sodium
chloride, 2 pounds; sodium bicarbonate,
pounds; sodium hypophosphite, .
pounds; sodium sulphate, pound, and
antimony sulphate, l pound. All these
should be thoroughly puIverized and
well mixed. The usual dose is a large
tablespoonful to every 200 pounds of
Log. Besides being a remedy, it is used
as a preventive. To insure successful
treatment, you should provide dry and
comfortable quarters for your hogs.
The dose above named should be given
only once each day. The report recon-
mends the rigid quarantining of newly
bought hogs, and the prevention of their
joining those already on the farm, for
at least six weeks.-J. W. Smith, in
Practical Farmer.

During the last year no less than TO-
600 American horses have been sold in
London alone. A large number are
used for the omnibuses and street cars.
The cabmaster and smaller dealer pro-
fess not to touch them, the former be-
lieving, and possibly rightly, that the
majority of foreign horses are some
what soft, while, as a rule, he declares
that at his price he can get plenty Of
well-bred English horses, and that they
do his work very well. The fact is, how
ever, that there are almost as many
American horses drawing cabs as Amer
lean subjects riding in them. After
American and Canadian horses have
changed hands under the hammer they
are resold without anything being said
about their nationality. They get into
the country and add to the difficulties
and Perplexities of the breeder.-Lon-

Gardening a sketch of a homemade
press which hardly needs to be de-
scribed. An iron rod is bent to the
curve of the barrel and it's lower end
turned over a hook under the lower
edge of the barrel. The lever at the top
and a block of wood, to be used first
ffatwise and then edgewise, complete
the outfit. The lever can be raised or
lowered by the nut on the end of the

accompanying sketch. which very near
ly explains itself. Instead of a heavy
sill, two-inch plank is laid upon the
stone foundation, bedded into the ce-
nlent- Upon this are laid the planks
that are to support the floor boards.
These are spiked to the uprights, which
are themselves spiked to the sill plank.
The same plan of spiking the frame can
be carried out in the upper portion of
the building. In this way all the frame
is made of plank, and no mortising or
tenoning is required. This plan is
highly useful for small buildings, while
there are plans to use a somewhat SINH
lar construction in the framing of barns.

are not suitable roosting places. as the
turkeys are thus exposed to cold ami

There has been a wonderful change
in recent years in the manner of framing

still other changes in the direction of
simplicity that are not commonly
known. One of these is shown in the

Of this month as follows:
-Four or five years ago, I suffered

Of all these ailments from the system.

the cruel scenes that followed, we can
realize the significance of the parable
and how close home He was bringing
the matter to the consciences Of these
scribes and Pharisees. Jesus was of
course the beloved son and the their
Of the parable and only two days from
this did they cruelty cruelty Him

The punishment. = The question,
what therefore shall the Lord of the
vineyard do unto them, lin Matthew is
anwered by the people saying HE
will miserably destroy those wicked
men and will let out his vineyard unto
their husband men, who shall render
him the fruits in their season.
Mark and Luke represent Jesus as
confirming this Judgment. Thus in
advance, is the doom Of the Jewish
church pronounced, and the call Of
the Gentiles predicted. The application
Of the parable was so unmistakable
that the people at once murmur +:
"God forbid p They saw In this the
downfall of their nation and the pro-
motion of the hated Gentle. Farrar
thinks the language implies that they
both deprecated the sin of their rulers
and tho amfa! punishment. I'm this
utterance we hear the groan Of the
Jewish people when the truth they were
indeed to be rejected burst upon
them" Jesus replied to this protes-
tation by quoting from .Ps, 11s 20, 8.
1.-THE stone which the builders refused
is become the head of the corner. This
is the Lords doing it is marvellous
in our eyes" (Matt. and Mark). AS
mnch as to say How shall this Script
ure be fulfilled unless these things be
as predicted2 He then adds Every
one that falleth on that stone shall be
broken to pieces but on w~honfsoever
it shall fall, it shall scatter him as
dust" (R. W. These two Greek
verbs "sunthlass'' and "likmao' are
most expressive. and their translation
in the revised version is far better than
in the old.
And I take this opportunity of say,
ing to critical students that they
ought, by all means, to have the
revised version before them as the best
commentary on the authorized version.
The best commentary on this 18th
verse l can find, is by DR.. John A.
Broadus "He who in unbelief finds
this stone and obstacle, smites against
1t and falls, will not only be bruised by
the fall but broken to pieces. If he
stumbies over Jesus as unfit to be @
Saviour, all his religious hopes will be
utterly destroyed. In the second
clause the image is somewhat changed.
The stone is here conceived not as thu
foundation stone, but as placed higher
up in the corner. perhaps at the top,
and some one tries to pull 1t down from
its place; but 1t falls upon him and
scatters him like a puff Of dust. ;
He then makes the full application
of the Jews. (Page 444 Of his Matt }

One bright, sunny day, in the early
spring of 1885, l accompanied Gov
ernor John S. Marmaduke in one Of
his accustomed walks in the suburbs
Of jefferson City. He was a wonderful
walker, and his stride vas so great
and his gait SO rapid that | found, af-
ter many a ramble, that 1 could not
comfortably sustain the pace he always
maintained, and, in consequence, there
after Joined him less frequently III MS
favorite exercise. On this occasion
-
our walk was in a southwest direction
from the town. After we had gone
some distance beyond the city limits,
the governor suggested, without ex-
nlanation, that we abandon the road
and cross the fields. We went some
thing like a mile until we reached the
summit of a commanding hill where
we halted. The beautiful little city
lay like a map before us, every street
and alley clearly defined. The capitol
was outlined in its every aspect, with
the shining river at its base. 1t was.
a pretty picture and is always worth
the journey to see. Governor Marina
duke had talked but little in this rapid
walk across lots, but | soon learned
the purpose of his expedition. He
struck his cane into the moist earth at

Senator Ben Tillman of South Caro-
lima has written the following letter 10
II. w. Stewart and D. A. Garst of this
city:
''Gentlemen-Your invitations to
speak at Wichita have just reached me
and owing to the delay in sending them
it is only by continuous travel and ex-
ira eXertion that l can eccept- / had
made previous engagement to speak
at Warrensburg, Mo, on Saturday, the
18th, that the only chance to reach you
and not disappoipt them is to leave
Denver several hours earlier than 1 in
tended and make use of both nights;
to reach you. then to go 10 Warrens-
burg in time. In order not 10 disap-
point your people, I will undertake this
and will only be prevented should tine
schedules on trains knock me out. You
can advertise, making the invitation
general and l will try TO meet the en-
gagement. VIII wire you from some
point along the route the time I Will
arrive Friday morning. l am very re-
spedtfully. b. r. TILLM-AN."
Senator Tillman will speak either at
the auditorium, at some hour 10 be fix
ed on Friday, or under the circus tent,
in the afternoon, Immediately after the
show is over, or at 4 p. m, which would
leave the farmers time to get home. 1t
all depends at what hour Tillman can
arrive here. If he gets here in the
morning he can take the Missouri Pa
cific and reach Warrensburg on time
to meet his engagement there If he
should not arrive here until 4 p. m. he
would be forced to speak at the adj
torium in the evening or not at all.
rr~
SO that the definite hour Of his arrival
can be given in the Eagle on Thursday
and Friday mornings. If at the circus.
people who desire can attend both, the
tent to be thrown open at the close Of
the show, free TO the public.
