Care of Work An;ro ais.

CLEMSON COLLEGE, s. c., March TO-
-Spring is close at hand and with it
q rusa Of farm work. 4 great many
of The farm animals, that is, horses
and mules, have been more or less idle
through the winter. AS consequence
their toughness has diminished and
is put to hard work suddenly, with
plenty OF food they are apt to get sore
shoulders and unless great care IS be:
slowed upon the feeding, collie will
also attack the animal. OF course the
main thing in all diseases is preven-
tion. When the animals are first put
to work in the spring take it a little
easy with them the first week and
gradually increase their feed and col
ic, that dread disease, destroying every
year lots of valuable mules and horses
will be 8 rare occurrence. One OF the
main reasons OF sore shoulders ID
plough animals is a dirty collar.
Therefore when the collar is removed
wash it clean, that IS, remove the
sweat and dirt which accumulated
while at work. Young mules and
horses when first taught to plough
will often pull sideways this increases
the draft on one side Of the body and
sore is likely TO follow. Sores are
painful and many an animal becomes
balkly when the sore is left unattenG
ed and the poor creature continued at
work. It is a good plan to wash the
parts of the body which are exposed to
the pressure of the harness With water
to which some alum has been added.
One ounce of alum to a quart Of wa.
ter would make a good wash for that
purpose, applied for a while twice
daily. w. E. 4. Wyman, Y. S.

at point one mile south Of Razleton,

turned over, but the baggage car re-
NAMED upright. The smoker hung

There have been more than dozen
deaths similar to that of Stuart In

years and the authorities say they
have positive proof sho wing that there
has been an organized gsng composed
of prominent business and professional

grown rich by insuring the lives OF

Big Sleeves Coming In.

JUS. as women have accommodated
themselves to small sleevs, just as
arms have accustomed themselves to
leanness rather than fulness Of out
line, and just as men are becoming re-
signed to the fact that they are no
longer needed as sleeve fuckers, in
march the big sleeves again. AS yet
there is nothing very determined or
definite about the march, but if the re-
ports from London and Paris are true,
the big sleeves are bound to return.
According to the latest fashion bulle
tins, they will be with US very soon.
The cause for the return is not quite
clear. Some say that women were
too much attached to the balIoon-like
things to do without them others that
the sleeves themselves became so at.
ached to feminity that they couldn't
stand the exile for an length Of time.
One thing is certain-there is JOY in
the heart Of the dressmaker.

An Unusual Visit to Mckinley.

WASHINGTON, March 10.-In the
general mix-up of white and colored
Republicans it looked strange to see
Senator Walthour. OF Mississippi; Ex.
Representative McCreary and Ex
Senator Joe Blackburn, of Kentucky,
three prominent Democrats, threading
their way IN to see q Republican Pres.
ident. The call was purely friendly,
and Senator Blackburn seemed to ex.
press the sentiments Of his Democratic
associates when he rnarked: Mr..
President, if we must have Republi-
can Executive l can truthfuily say
that would rather see you in that po-
sition than any other man. During
my long service in the House Of Rep
resentatives and the Senate I never
voted against Democratic contestant
for a seat except on one occasion, and
that was when your seat in the House
was contested" President Mckinley
welcomed his Democratic visitors cor
daily, and invited them to come and
come often, and assured them that
they would always be welcomed.

Some Sound Advice,

WACO Texas, March 9.-The Cotton
Growers Association held a short ses-
sion today and adjourned sine die.
An address was adopted urging plan
ters to keep down the cotton acreage.
1t says: IF all OF US devote our time
and energies and sufficient amount
Of our labor to the raising of those
products consumed at home first and
give the balance to cotton, we would
necessarily reduce the acreage OF cot
ton and thereby reduce the yield. By
so doing We not only create demand
for our cotton by lessening the supply,
but by raising at home the things we
formerly purchased from abroad with
our cotton money, we destroy the ne
cessity for a big cotton crop and strike
from our limbs the shackles of COM
mercial slavery that has afflicted and
burdened US SO long. We recon-
mend that every cotton grower plant
enough Of those products consumed at
home to supply his wants and in addi-
ton to raise all the cotton he can"

BROOKLYN, n. Y, March "A fire
in this city today, supposed to be the
work Of an incendiary, caused the
death of three persons and injured an
other so badly that it is thought she
will die. The dead are Annie Duncan,
Charles Goddard, 40 years old, and
Jon Duncan, Is months old. The lat

window by his mother, Annie Dun

Goddard also jumped at the same time
and received internal injuries that the
dcc.ors at the hospital say may result
in her death. The tragedy occurred
in story brick house, corner of Au-
burn place and Canton street. Mrs.
Duncan and her child and Mr.. and

he reached the hospital. The body Of
Goddard was not found until after the
fire had been extinguished. The dead
man was found near the window,
