Combined Stackyard and Manger.
With good prices for hay, many con-
slider good, bright oat and barley straw
to be worth, for feeding purposes, quite
as much as overripe clover, or timothy
hay and, pound for pound, worth fully
half as much as any good hay. Hence,
instead of wasting the straw by build
ing fiat-topped stacks and allowing cat
tie and other stock to have free access
to them. a yard Is built around the
stacks, and the straw fed out as regu-
larly as hay or grain. A log pen has
been made, as illustrated, that serves
the purpose admirably. The logs rest
upon a foundation Of stone or wood,
the lower log being foot from the
ground, and three logs ON each side, the
extreme height of fence being not less
than Az feet. On the leeward side of
the stack pen permanent and durable
manger can be easily made from small
poles. This may extend the entire
length of ,he pen, and be built upon one
or more sides. The straw Is thrown
into it directly from the stack, and, If
a ration of hay or straw be fed at noon,
it will prove equally as valuable, the
only objection being that it is located

New Treatment for Hiccougb.

A female patient presented herself at
a French hospital for rebellious hic-
cough, which had resisted all treatment
for four days. She was asked to show
the tongue, and 1t was noticed that
with the putting out of the tongue, the
hiccough ceased. The same thing has
been since tried, and with success in
other cases. All that is necessary ap-
parently Is to strongly push the tongue
cut of the mouth and hold 1t so, for a
minute or two. 1t is also suggested
now to try the same thing In suffocative
cough as whooping cough, and choking

The seventh annual review of the su-

came to a close ut Port Huron after hav-

fourteen appeals from members, ive dis

department which Is to do all the X. o. L.

committee, with power to act. The mat
ter of purchasing the Maccabee temple
building and two adjoining structures was
laid on the table. The supreme tent has
a six years lease yet of it's quarters there
in and 1t was thought that the order may
outgrow the building by the time OF the
expiration of the lease. The property Is
said to have an annual income, under
present leases, OF "a, ,293.S3. A proposition
was received from st. Louis, Mo-. to
make that place the permanent headquar-
ters Of the order, but a resolution to that
effect was Overwhelmingly defeated. The
board OF trustees was instructed to have
the name of the knights Of the Maccabees
copyrighted, to prevent it's use without
the sanction of the supreme tent or by any
organization that might possibly hereafter
be organized. A motion was made to re-
consider the vote by which the annual
review refused to raise the salaries OF
Supreme Commander ID. p. Markey and
Supreme Record Keeper n. s. Boynton,
but these two officials emphatically re-
fused to allow such action and stated
that they were satisfied with the Lewiston
of the review and would not allow any

A Farm Income.

A gross income averaging $4,000 an
nually for several years, is the record
of a New England farm we are ac-
quainted with. This large return from
a farm of less than 100 acres Is due to
retailing its milk direct to the con-
sumer, that being the principal source
of income. We do not know what the
net profit has been, but imagine that

being an irritant to the bowels, which

Apples for Profit.

Farmers frequently speculate as to
whether or not there Is more money In
raising fruit than in the old-time farm
ing Of the cereals. AS an example can
be given the product Of the fruit farm
of William z. Fisher, of Unionville,
Center County, Pa. Exclusive Of what
he sold during apple season, Mr.. Fisher
put away for shipment to Eastern mar
kets during this winter 5000 bushels Of
prime apples. From the Scorer grades
he made 10000 gallons Of cider and $50
barrels of vinegar. Mr.. Fisher for n
number of years maintained a choice
vineyard, but of late he has devoted his
energies more exclusively to apples, as
a surer crop and a better money maker.

Clipping Hedges.

Usage orange, evergreen and privett
hedges should be trimmed In damp,
cloudy weather. Have the shears
sharp, and use line on both sides of
the hedge, SO the work can be done
with neatness. A carefully clipped
hedge when the young leaves are just
putting out, presents most beautiful
appearance. After the hedge is clip
ped, fork up the soil on each side and
rake 1t fine. This is not necessary for
old hedges, but 1t should never be neg
lected when the plants are small.-The

following statement in response to a
request by the Register for his views
regarding the HINES case:
Il have always opposed mob violence
and unlawful shooting Of every sort,
but in pardoning W. S. Kimes for
shooting Benjamin Hall with intent to
main and kill, L said thought it was
a misfortune that he did not Kill hin.
my reason for such conclusion Is
based upon the following fact
"'Kimes and Hall married sisters. Hall
deserted his wife and several helpless
children, went to Parkers0urg ana De
gan to tamper with HINES wife.
HINES ordered him 20 stay away from
his home. In spite Of these admon-
itions. Hall kept up his visits. HINES
found them together at his home sew
eral times in a darkened room. He
finally informed Hall that If he ever
found him again at his home he must
take the consequences. He did ind
him there again in q darkened room in
company with his wife. He at once
proceeded to shoot at him, and as I
said in the pardon. Unfortunately fail
ed to kill the soOundrel.
But this is not ALL Halls family
are suffering for the necessarles Of life,
while he is now living in open adultery
with Kimes' wife. These are the facts

again say that any man who has
heart in his body, and has a wife and
children. cannot but feel as I do about
this matter.
