rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to n constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
" removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that il is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-

all reputable druggists
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laXatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful

Fattenins Sheep and Lambs.


There Is always money to be made In
winter fattening of sheep, and still
more in the fattening of lambs. which
in this case are yearlings. But to make
the money requires experience in buy
ing the right class of stock TO feed, and
still more In feeding so as to keep the
animal always from becoming cloyed.
This is very difficult, and requires Dotn
close attention and practical discrlml-
nation In the kinds and amounts OF
feed to be given. A thrifty growing
animal Is always preferable to one that
is scrawny and poor. IL digestion In
either sheep or lamb Is once injured,
the animal never fully RECEIVERS. Hence
the beginning of feeding ought always
to be very light, and part OF 1t should be
Of bran and teaspoonful of oil meal
mixed with it for each animal at feed
ing. After weeks feeding on this
few oats, whole, may be added, les
SEEMING the amount of bran at the same
time. AS the weather grows colder,
whole corn may be substituted for one
third and finally one-half of the oats.
With this mixed feed, bran, oil meal,
oats and corn sheep will seldom get of
their feed If 1t is limited to what will
be eaten clean each day.

Handling Corn in the Stalk.

Well-eared corn is very heavy to ham
die. 1t takes thirty to thirty-five hills
of corn to make stock, and even after
1t has dried out as much as it will be-
fore winter, such a stock Is pretty
heavy lifting on high wagon. When
ever it is desired to clear a field of corn,
low wheeled wagons with low racks
should be used. Two men can work to
much better advantage than one, the
one on the ground cutting the hill
against which the stock is built and lift
ing the stock from the bottom, while
the one on the load grasps the top, plac-
ing 1t where he wishes on the load, and
keeping each stock separate as far as
possible. This makes 1t much easier to
unload. With a low wagon and two
men not afraid of work, large clear
ing can be made in a corn field by one
days labor, and the corn be drawn UNI
der shelter, where 1t can be husked dur
ing weather too stormy or cold to per-
NIT comfortable husking in the field.

The Best Device for Carrying Loose
Gunpowder in Time of War.

Gunpowder in Time of War.
Powder horns have become quite
rare, and are curious objects for the
study of the collector and the historian.
Like coins and medals. from which
the collector may find out many inter-
estlng facts about the past, powder
horns which have been decorated with
pictures and inscriptions give much in
formation concerning the geography
and history of famous places and
events.
The use Of horns of animals for car
rying gunpowder was introduced into
America from England and France, but
the exact date when they were first
used In Europe Is not known. Certain
ly it was not less than three hundred
and fifty years ago, as can be seen
from the dates on specimens In Euro
pean museums.
Before improved guns and cartridges
were used, the curved horn was the
best device for carrying gunpowder in
war time for the use Of the muzZle-
leaders and fiint-locks, and the horns
were used even with some of the later
guns-those that were fred by percus-
sion caps.
desirable horn could be had easily
and cheaply. 1t was quickly prepared
for holding the gunpowder, and, more
over, 1t was strong enough to with
stand the rough usage to which horns
lwere often subjected, as in sklrmish
fighting or making long marches
Through the wilderness. The horns
neither rust nor decay. even If buried
in the earth for century; and, II the
plugs are properly fitted. the powder
will keep dry, although carried for days
in the rain. They can be hoated, or
dipped in the water, without harm to
the powder within, this being a matter
of the greatest Importance during the
Colonial and Revolutionary wars, when
bridges were hardly thought Of and
armies had 10 wade through swamps
and streams of water, often up to the
necks of the soldiers.
In order to prepare the horn for the
soldiers use, the ends were stopped by
wooden plugs and were securely fast
| ened to strap which was worn under
the left arm and over the right shoul-
der, the curved horn fitting the left side
of the waist of the wearer; and more
graceful equipment could not be de.
sired.
During the colonial times and during
the Revolution, when a soldier volun
teered or was ordered out for active
service, he was generally required to
come provided with four articles, name
ly: gun, powder horn, blankets, and
knapsaek. The Government furnished
the rest of the accoutrements and the
| outfit of clothing.
4 A military order required every pow
der horn to be marked with the own
er's name, so that 1t could be quickly
returned to him after being filed a.

An Old Trick.

The amount of fun that members
have when out on their trips is equaled
only by the amount of enthusiasm that
they inspire by their songs. Coming
up from Jackson the other day, one of
their old jests was successfully played.
The word was passed around and,
when the brakeman entered the car,
one member looked at his watch and,
mot being satisfied with the result Of
the Inspection, asked the brakeman
what time 1t was The brakeman ac-
Icommodatingly told the inquirer,
Iwhereat the seventy-five members of
the club shouted In chorus, THANK you
kindly, sirl" The brakeman dropped
his head and sneaked crestfallen away
amid the laughter. Pretty soon he
came back.
Say" said he, ''if you will play that
on the conductor, won't say a word
about IT."
The boys agreed to 1t very readily,
and, when the conductor entered he was
asked the time of night. He pulled out
his watch and gave the hour to the In
quirer.
THANK you, kindly, sirI" shouted the
club In unison.
The conductor Wilted and went hur-
riedly out. He came back in half an
hour with the remark:
DO you know what you made me dc?
called Lancaster, when l should have
called Logan, and my head amt exact
ly clear yet"
Several years ago, the same trick was
played at one of the meetings. The d.
rector turned in his place on the stage
and asked IL some gentleman would
kindly give them the time, as they had
to catch train. A man rose in the au-
dience, drew forth his watch, doubtless
with thrill of pride, and told the lead
er the hour.
THANK you, kindly, sirT'' shouted the
boys. and the man sat down as If he
had been struck on the head with q
