was spending week or two within her

beans between her fingers to see that they

that the corn was ripe, pulled the pears out
of their paper wrappings and conducted her.

clerk: :'How much are tomahtoes this

THE FARMING WORLD.
WATER FOR SHEEP.

Unless 1t Is Absolutely Pure the Flock
VIII BE Decimnted.
Water is directly absorbed into the
blood with whatever impurity may be
eontained in it. 1t is to some extent
strained or filtered of what it may have
of solid matter not dissolved in it, but
whatever is held in solution, and some
of what it may have that is not dis
solved to some extent, goes into the
blood with it. Thus impure water
pcisons the very fount of life, says
American Sheep Breeder, and carries
into an animal what may he the most
injurious to the health of it. There are,
however, some injurious matters exist
ing in water which are more especially
deserving of notice on account of their
very deleterious effects, such as the eggs
or germs of organic matters, either
vegetable or animal, as the spores Of
various minute plants, and the embryos
Of the most deadly parasitic animals.
OF these may be mentioned the germs
of epidemic diseases due to the growth
in the blood of minute plants derived
from these germs, and the deadly para
sites such as the liver huke, the various
intestinal worms, and the ova of many
tape worms. All these may be taken
into sheep in water drank from streams
or springs or most frequently from
stagnant ponds. One of the most fire.
quent sources of infection is the over
flowing of pastures by streams into
which a. large extent of manured lands
may have been drained, or into which
the wastes of towns or cities have been
discharged. On this account the shep
herd cannot exercise too great caution
for the protection of his flock, or esti'
mate too highly those most favorable
localities where the streams flow down
nncleared mountain slopes, from the
primeval forests, or where the spars;
population has never defiled the sol
with filth and impregnated it with thu
germs of disease. Nor can he estimate
too highly the pure artesian fountain
flowing from far down below tn,
sources of impurity, and supplying thu
focks with wholesome drink. And il
the choice of range or for farm fol
the rearing of flock, this point is to b
considered first and last as being of thu
mcst paramount Importance.

MOVABLE CORN CRIB.

wise joists are of by inch material

rear end cross pieces are of by inch

strongly made and well shingled. The
door occupies the entire front end, be-
ing square; Stats are placed across the
door inside as the crib is filled and re-
moved as corn is taken out. 1t is best
to invert pan on top of each post be-
fore building or setting the crib on
the posts. Rats and small vermin will
then be unable to get from the ground
into the crib, provided snow in winter
is kept clear.-Albert Rising, in Farm

Preventing Egr Eating.

If an egg is broken the hens will eat
it, and it is 10y eggs being broken that
the hens learn the vice, as they never
eat eggs unless they first find one
broken. The only way to prevent the
hens from eating eggs after they enc,
begin is to make nest with top, COM
pelling the hen to walk in to reach the
nest, and have the box raised ten
inches from the floor, so that the hen
cannot stand near the box to eat the
eggs. When she goes on the nest she
cannot do any harm, as she must come
off and stand up to eat theeggs.-Farm
and Fireside.

Prejudice Easily Overcome.

A curious incident characteristic Of
the proverbial conservatism of the Chi
nese occurred when the first cable was
laid along the coast from Peking to
Shanghai. Soon after it was laid lot
terry drawing came off in Peking, in
which many of the residents of Shang-
hal held tickets. One of the gamblers
so far overcame his distrust of the
cable as to have the winning numbers
sent him, and he bought the tickets
bearing them from his more skeptical
townsmen, realizing a small fortune
on. the transaction. At about the same
time there was scanty rice crop in
the upper provinces, and Shanghai
merchant telegraphed to Peking in
structions to buy heavily, the ultimate
result being that he sold out at an i'm
mense profit and retired in opulence
After two or three practical lessons of
this nature the Chinese came to the
realization of the fact that the tele-
graph is good thing to have around.

Real Meaning of Mississippi.

1t is believed in some quarters that
the word mississippi" means Father
of the waters" but a careful analysis
shows that this is erroneous. The real
significance of the sibilant syllables is
1.-The river of meadows or grass" and
this is quite as appropriate and poeti-
cal meaning as the one that has been
accepted for so long. "Sepe," the In
dian vernacular from which Mississippi
was taken, signifies river; "mis-sek, ?
grass; "mis-sek-ke," medical herbs;
"mis-sek-ke-wa-kuk," field of luxuriant
herbage; ''mis-ku-tuk," meadow. st.

Did you ever see cabinetmaker fin

simply rough lumber. When planed it
is reasonably smooth, but far from be-

story of a scarecrOw.

There is an honest SWede employed as
gardener in the East End, and his delib-
crate speeches are source Of much delight
to his employer He has been much an
noyed by thievish birds, and few days
ago suggested that "a scarecrow would be a
good thing. 1t took him some time to
make the employer understand what he
meant, but finally he realized it was a
dummy bird scarer, "lak in oP country"
The employer fell in with the idea and
told the Swede to rig up frame When
this was completed the latter was given a
bundle of cast-off clothing to deck out his
dummy. He looked askance at the gar.
ments as he put them on the sticks and
was evidently much impressed by their ex.
cellent condition. He glanced down at his
own clothes from time to time and seemed
to be making silent comparison. Present
| ly he put the scarecrow in the garden and
returned to his employer, who stood at
tome little distance. He looked at the work
of art with his head very much on one side,
and finally said:
"Say, mister"
"Well, John"

clothes with scarecrow, or else stand myself
in his place"

Among the many advantages set forth by
the L. A. w. to riders to join the organiza-
tion are the special Accommodations extended
to members at the official hotels in cities and
towns. 1t is the custom in suburban places
for proprietors of official hotels to display
a sign like this: 81. A. w. Hotel. in some
conspicuous place. Naturally riders patron
ize the official quarters, and as a conse-
quence the keepers of road houses and Of
hotels in the country are now hanging out
81. A. W. Hotel signs. The practice has
been called to the attention of the league,
and its officers are trying to compel the non
official houses to remove the signboards.
Complaint was made to the New Jersey di-
vision of the league that a hotelkeeper on
the outskirts of Jersey City not entitled to
display the official sign Of the L. A. w. was
an offender. A visit to the place developed
| the fact that the owner was not disposed to
accede to the demands of the leagues rep.
resentative. The latter, finding that mild
persuasion was futile, became indignant and
threatened lega! proceedings. The propri
etor, German, also waxed warm, and in
response to the remark that he was using
the official sign of the league without author
ity, retorted:
