made, in which a teaspoonful of the
mixture was added to a gallon of

days, but gradually declined and fin

animation of the fowls that were kill

sores, as though the lining membranes

Stock Notes.


The number of sheep in Maine In
1910 was 649,264. This was probably
the high water mark. Since that time
the number has gradually declined, I'LL
in 1896 the number was 25l,O1. Last
year the number again showed oe-
cline to $4,000. 1t would be interest
ing to have the true figures on the Jugs
of the state during this time. DOUBT
less the prevalence of the cur nuisance
has had something to do with the See-
ting rid of the sheep. Whlle there "ao
a good profit in sheep, the FARMERS
could stand the loss by the dogs, Dul
when the profits got small, the de-
struction of few thousand sheep Oy
dogs became a matter of great mo-
Iment. 1t is much more difficult TO
fence against dogs in Maine than III
some other states, owing to the nature
of the fences, which are in many IN
stances built entirely of stones

shape for lambing. The lambs, too'
will appreciate the good treatment.
AT the station at Guelph, Canada, ooo
lambs were fattened on a>50-acre field
of this plant. The weakness OF our
stock-feeding system has IN the past
been the shortness of the summer and
fall pastures. This the cultivation OF
rape promises to remedy. We nope
that many of the readers of the Farm
ers' Review will take UP the culture
OF rape, at least on small scale. Inc
culture of the plant seems at present
to be limited to certain sections OF the
country, notably around the agricul-
tural colleges and experiment stations.
The fact that these localities are con-
stantly charging is proof that rape
has come to stay as a forage plant.
There seems to be tendency IN
some quarters to look for a great rise
in the prices of wool, and, as a con-
sequence, reports come from dl1epnt
sections of the country OF FARMERS
holding their wool for better prices.
We do not wish to give advice in this
matter, yet it is fact that all tlg-
ures that would indicate rise III
prices are uncertain and unsatlsfac-
tory. The man that wants to get mon
ey out of his product is always safest
to dispose of that product when he can
get good price and not wait for fan
cy prices. The questions of supply ana
demand are not by any means the only
ones that operate to raise or depress
prices. The operations of spectators
are powerful means in determining at
what prices goods sell. We hope to
see a rise in the price of wool, but it
is in no wise certain that anything eX-
traordinary is going to happen in that
line.

They passed from room to room, find
ing each one gloomier than its prede-
icessor. The old man pointed out the
pictures and various relics which he
thought might be interesting, and
Caussidiere glanced about him with
eyes like a hawk AS they passed on
ward his face became less radiant;
frown of WEAKNESS and disappoint-
ment began to cloud his brow. At
length the whole of the castle had been
examined, and the two men began TO
descend the quaint oaken stairs. Caus-
sidiere, lingering as if in no haste to
go, still talked pleasantly and glanced
impatiently about him.
Presently they passed the half open
door of kind of boudoir. Caussidiere,
who had looked keenly in, paused sud
denly.
Surely" he said, 'I know that face"
The old man went forward and
pushed open the door, and the French
man, following closely behind him, en-
tered the room and stood thoughtfully
regarding the object which had arrest
ed his attention. 1t was a picture, a
good sized painting, which hung above
the mantelpiece.

"Aweel, aweel, you should see it; but
the press is locked and Mysie has the

"You could not get it, | SUPPOSE"

still under the influence of the French
mans gold "Bide awhile and you

He shuffied off, leaving the French
man alone.

diere's face and manner underwent
complete change. He sprang from the
room, as it were, with cat-like fury,
turned over papers, opened drawers,
ransacking everything completely. At
last he came upon drawer which
would not open; it was in writing
cabinet, the counterpart of one he had
at home; he pressed a hidden spring;
in a moment the drawer flew open, and
Caussidiere was rapidly going over the
papers which it contained.
Suddenly he started, drew forth
paper, opened, and read it. A CLEAN of
light passed over his face. He folded
the paper, thrust it into the inner
pocket of his coat and closed the draw

his key he found Caussidiere, with his
hands behind him, regarding the pic

application of most deceptive
art, the glass is SO arranged in

off about fourth OF the capacity

ALL ABOUT
The Women in The Philippines.

The native women of the Phil.
ippines Islands are generally
very pretty and engaging, with
supple figures, beautiful eyes
Swallowed by long lashes and
luxuriant black hair. Their hair
may be said with truth to be their
glory and they devote much time
to its care, amounting it with CO.
coanut oil and cleaning it with
lemon juice. Some of the women
wear ithanging down their backs,
others build it up in a high knot
on the top of the head, which is
held in place by a gold comb
and ornamented with fancy pins
or a bunch of flowers. They
scorn bonnets and hats, but car
ry parasols for protection. Most
all of the women have fine eyes
and feet of which they are very
proud. They never wear stock
ings, but incase their feet in en-
broidered slippers without heels.
They allow the thumb nail of the
right hand to grow very large,
which assists them in playing the
guitar, their favorite instrument.
The blouse of the Tagal women
consists of a little skirt made of
Pine cloth. 1t is worn loose, and
reaches to the waist. The skirt
consists of silk, either striped or
checked. In the street some
times is worn a tapiz, or shawl,
wrapped tightly around the loins.
A profusion of jewelry of all
kinds is an important part of the
Tagal woman's toilet. Over a
neatly folded neckerchief is worn
a crucitix, or little bag contain.
ing relics. suspended by chain.
Philippine women of all ages
smoke long cigars, chew the
betel nut, dance, swim and ride,
but the great ambition of every
woman is to possess a dress, a
scarf at least Of the famous pino
cloth, which, it will be remem-
bered, is made from the fiber of
the pineapple leaf and is quite
expensive.
The most important industry
that the women of the Philip
pines are engaged in is tobacco.
Women alone are employed to
make cheroots, and there are no
less than 5000 women busy in
the Manila factories. Men make
the cigarillos, or small cigars,
which are smoked by the natives.
Women make all the cigars. 1t
is estimated that $4,000 women
find employment in the business,
and only $500 men. Each room
of the enormous factories con.
tains from 500 to 1000 women,
all of whom are seated tailor
fashion on the floor. AT intervals
are placed little round tables, and
at every one is seated a matron
whose duty it is to watch over
the dozen or SO young women
and girls. The noise is madden
ing. as stones are used for beat
ing out the leaf. A cigar maker
earns from six to ten dollars a
month, which is quite sufficient
to provide her with necessary
comforts and leave her a balance
for dress. The married women,
whose husbands earn their living
for then, in the field or factory,
keep house in a primitive fash:
ion. The patriarchial custom OF
making the lover serve in the
