WHEN WORKING A TEAM.



Drill.
1t is a favorite habit with many farm
ers and farmhands when working
team, whether on plow harrow, drill
or any other implement, to turn around
and start on new track or furrow be-
fore unhitching at noon or at night. l
have also noticed this same practice
when one horse tools are used, such as
cultivators shovel plows markers and
the like. The reason for this is, as one
plowman explains it, to be ready to go
to work again. This may be very com
mendable in the individual, but it is an
expensive notion, and, when circum-
stances are just right, it may become
very expensive. A case of this kind Is
brought to notice, with the aid of an il
lustration, in Farm and Fireside:
A, B, G, d represent partly plowed
field. The land, E, is back furrowed and

Care of Work Animals.

CLEMSON COLLEGE, S. c., March 10.
Spring is close at hand and with 1t
a rush of farm work. A 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
if 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-
ton. 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 a rare occurrence. One OF the
main reasons of sore shoulders in
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
a sore is likely 10 follow. Sores are
painful and many an animal becomes
balkly when the sore is left unattend
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 quart of wa
ter would make a good wash for that
purpose, applied for while twice
daily. w. E. A. Wyman, V. s.

Big Sleeves Coming In.

Just 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 balloon-like
things to do without them others that
the sleeves themselves became so at.
tached to feminity that they couldn't
stand the exile for any 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 Republican Pres.
ident. The call was purely friendly,
and Senator Blackburn seemed toex.
press the sentiments of his Democratic
associates when he rmarked: "Mr.
President, if we must have Republi-
can Executive I can truthfully 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 a Democratic contestant
for 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 short ses-
sion today and adjourned sine die.
An address was adopted urging plan
ters to keep down the cotton acreage.
It 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 athome 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 q 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 addl-
ton to raise all the cotton he can"

Poisoned for Insuran C o.

MERIDIAN, Miss, March "a poi.
soning case which promises to become
famous has been brought to light IN
Kemper County, Miss. DR.. w. Fl:
Lipscomb, prominent ply ysician, and
Guy Jack, a wealthy merchant OF
Scooba, have been indicted by the
grand jury for the murder of G. L.
Stuart for the purpose of obtaining the
value of insurance policies on Stuart's
life, aggregating $25, 900, by Guy
Jack. A post mortem examination
was made and enough strychnine
found in Stuart's stomach to kill herd
of cattle. DR.. Lipscomb was placed
on trial at Dekalb, the county seat OF
Kemper County, today and a jury
secured. The introduction OF testimo-
ny will be begun to morrow morning.
There have been more than a dozen
deaths similar to that of Stuart in
Kemper County during the past few
years and the authorities say they
have positive proof showing that there
has been an organized gang composed
of prominent business and professional
men in Kemper County, who have
grown rich by insuring the lives of
poor people and then poisoning them
for the insurance money. The Equit.
able, the New York Life and the Mu-
tual Reserve Fund Life Insurance
Companies of New York and the Mu-
tual Benefit Life Insurance Company
of Newark, N. j., have been muleted
for large sums by the alleged conspira-
tors and the insurance companies are
prosecuting the case with great vigor.
