Repairing Rotted Posts.

Mostly when post rots in the ground
it is just at the surface, where the com
bination of moisture, air and soil makes
the conditions right for rotting. Often
both ends for two and a half or three
feet will be found sound enough to use.
Such posts can be made seryiceable by
cutting away one-half of each post,
leaving a fiat surface, and putting two
or three bolts and nuts through to hold
them together, and then setting the
posts in the ground again. A post thus
repaired will often last as long in the
fence as it did when originally set and
new. In most places, unless a man is
very handy with tools, the labor of
splicing two old posts would be worth
as much if not more than the cost of
buying a new one.

NOTES FOR SHEPHERDS.

Provide shelter from the sun. Never
compel a sheep to stay in pasture with
no shade.
The flock should be brought to the
barn at night, until the ground becomes
thoroughly warm and dry.
If you have any yearling lambs that
won't eat very readily with the older
sheep, take them from them and feed
thrashed oats.
Sheep on the land will at least pay in
terest and taxes. Never permit a piece
of ground to lie idle because it is rough;
stock it with sheep.
At an auction of the Polk county
(Ore.) mohair association the entire
clip of 5000 Angora goats was sold at
33Ha cents per pound.
Large coarse boned ewes with big
heads and thick necks seldom raise
vigorous lambs. The best breeding
eve is a medium sized animal of the
breed in question.
A good acre of land should grow 30
tons of roots, with this right cultiva-
ton. For six months this crop will
support 80 sheep, and will form about
two-thirds of their daily rations.-Rur-

ExportinE EGGS to Havana.

A New York firm has been expert
menting with the shipment of eggs and
poultry to Havana, but not with encour-
aging success. Two carloads of live
poultry and 175 cases of eggs were
shipped, the stock coming from Ten
nessee and going via Port Tampa, Fla,
taking two days to reach Havana. The
breakage of eggs was remarkable. Ono
lot brought 10 cents per dozen; another
16 cents. The poultry was carried in
the hold of the vessel - dark, hot and
badly ventilated-and of the first lot
100 died; of the second, 200. The price
at Havana could not overcome this loss.
Chickens brought 81 a dozen. Still the
demand is such that shipped in cool
weather, and with better facilities,
there will be profit in the business.

Mrs Crnigie, an American Writer,
Has Become the Fashion in
EngIaDd's Metropolis.

An American girl is the rage in Lon
don; not Edna May in the Bell of New
York" but John Oliver Hobbies" Mrs.
Craigie, author of the successful play,
"The Ambassador" and the writer of
many other dramas.
Mrs. Craigie began playwriting
some years ago and won success
from the start. The last two years she
has devoted herself to it entirely, and
has now reached that delightful stage
of a writer's career .ohen everything
she writes is engaged before it leaves
her pen.
Thirty-two years ago there played in
Boston little girl, Pearl Mary Theresa
Richards, a tall progressive little girl,
who could be very serious at the slight
est appeal to her imagination. Her
pastimes were dolls and a stage, also a
whole lot of writing materials.
AS the girl grew up she was taken
abroad for education, and on one of her
visits she married Reginald Walpole
Craigie. She was then only 19 years
old; and in the next four years she suf-
fered much unhappiness, out of which
grew the flower of genius.
Mrs. Craigie, at 24, secured divorce
and the custody of her boy; and with
the child went TO live with her father,
DIR. Richards, editor of the Athenaeum,
who resides in a splendid mansion in
Lancaster Gate, near Hyde Park, Lon
don.
One day Mrs. Craigie sat down to
l. 4 1, 4
an audience who admired her under the
name of John Oliver Hobbies. Why nQj
go on writing! She came of literary
stock. Her greatgrandfathe was The

York clergyman; her father we'll

Bees That Do Not swarm.

a paying feature in breeding bees is
to produce a nonswarming strain, or at
least breed out of them to great ex-
tent the swarming mania. Swarming
with the apiarist is usually objection
able, since the profit is in the honey
crop, and not in the increase of bees.
Little if any surplus honey will be OBJ
tanned from a colony that turns its at
tention to swarming, so that it is very
desirable to have colonies continue to
store honey right along without at
tempting to swarm. Good results in
this respect have also been obtained and
the swarming notion largely bred out of
some of the most carefully-bred strains.

together by cleats nailed to the upper
sides they can be readily moved to the

to serve as a shelter for some other
purpose during the winter.
A cheaper shelter is shown in Fig. 2.
The roof slants towards the south, thus
securing greater protection from the
rays OF the sun. One will be greatly
surprised to see the amount OF time
hogs will spend under these protec-
tons. When flies are bad during Au-
gust and September a darllened in
closure would prove profitable, as they
could then escape from their winged
tormenters. This same form of shell

MRS. PEARL RICHARDS CRAIGIE.
Better Known as John Oliver Hobbes.')
known man of letters to-day. Yes, she
would follow in their footsteps. For a
while her mind turned toward religion,
during which she became converted to
the Roman Catholic faith; but her love
for the drama asserted itself, and she
began playwriting as a profession.
Within two years she had written three
plays, all of which were successes.
Mrs. Craigie is a slender woman, not
very tall, but very well built. Her face,
eyes and hair are dark, and she has a
wonderful sort of personal magnetism
which her friends believe would have
served her well had she gone on the
stage.
Mrs. Craigie has the singular habit of
concentration, rare gift to-day. When
She is about to write she sits long hours
and thinks about her plot. Its char
acters become human beings to her;
the scenes real places. To secure per-
feet quiet she goes in a convent, where
she engages room for meditation and
remains there as long as it pleases her
to do SO. She cannot work where there
is noise and liability to interruption,
ard for that reason she goes to the con
vent to think and write if only for day
at time. Her best scenes, the most
worldly, sharpest lines in her plays are
written from the walls of the convent.
Mrs. Craigie has only just begun her
work, she believes. She wants to write
a comedy, a tragedy, another society
play and several curtain raiSers in the
near future. She has contracted for
each one of these. She writes, when
once she puts pen to paper, very rapid
ly, and without erasure. She does her
thinking from beginning to end before
she begins, and when her thoughts are
completed she writes.
Her library is magnificent thing. on
the first floor of the great mansion. Her
fathers book shelves line the room. and
there are exquisite pieces of statuary.
wonderful first editions on the shelves,
rarest objects of bric-a-brac from India
and rugs from Belochistan. 1t is the
ideal writing spot. Mrs. Craigie's boy
is an active little lad of eight years,
whose instruction is left to governess
and a tutor. He has nurse and a maid
who care for him when his mother is
busy. Mrs. Craigie does not like to
leave her boy too much to hirelings, and
in spite of her work she manages to De
with him a great deal. When putting
on a new play her hours are very irregu-
lar. The rehearsals begin at - O'Clock

A MlLLiON-DOLLAR BEDROOM.
The Gorgeous Sleeping Apartment of
Ludwig H., the Mad King of fa-

Half way between Munich and Salz-
burg is the third castle-Herrcnchiem-
see-bult by Ludwig II. This great
structure is incomplete, fortunately
for already overtaNed bavaria, Tor no
one could surmise what its cost would
have been. One room alone-the re
nowned bedchamber-could not be du-
plicated for less than a million dollars
The vaulted ceiling is one great ale
Gorical painting, the rounded corTnce
is covered with score of richly franz
ed mural paintings, the walls are pan
els of hammered gold of intricate de
signs. and even the floor is of Il mar
vclous pattern. The only suggestion
of the purpose of this wonderful room
is the 100000 bed with its canopy more
magnificent than any that covers n
regal throne. In the gorgeous dining
room he had erected a disappearing
table. which dropped through the
floor when a course was finished, and
in its place came up another, set and
served. He desired this so that scrv-
ants would be unnecessary in the
room and the most secret state mat
tcrs could be discussed in safety. Many
people sought in vain to see the i"
nous room at Herrenchiemsee. Once
an actress pleased Ludwig so much by
her recitation that she thought it an
opportunc moment to request permis-
sion to see his "most poetic bcdcham-
ber" She was coolly dismissed for her
efTrontery. and the servants were or
dered to fumigatc the room in which
she had been received.-Prof j. IL.

not exceed eight feet and the length of
boards on each side is also about eight
feet, or 16-foot boards may be sawed in
two. The supporting posts should be
four feet above the ground, and should
be set firmly, as the hogs will use them
for rubbing posts. The ground end of
the sides should also be fastened down

THE MEDDLING HABIT.
Are Law az Much Addicted
to 1t as They Are Generally
Snid to Be.

From time immemorial the mother
in-law has been an object of reproach,
saws the American Queen. 1t is in
frequent that one pauses to inquire
where. why or how she first earnI6 her
unenviable reputation as disagrecable
and Objectionable person, and we fear
the inquiry would be futile and profit
less.
How many of the mothers-in-law of
our immediate acquaintance deserve
the reputation with which they are uni
versally accredited? Their chief fault
(Which varies. according to all t~adi-
tion) is their persistent inclination to
steer and rule the private and domestic
affairs of their married sons and
daughters That this meddlesome spir-
it exists, and in many instances is car
ried too far, nobody can deny-in-
stances are constantly exhibited, usual
ly more glaring in the early stages OF
young married life.
OF course, the explanation of this is
natural and eXcusable. The mother,
who for years has been in close sym
pathy with the son or daughter. and has
known and gratified each wish and de-
sire instantly, is suddenly called upon
to give up every claim. This is a su-
perhuman task, and it is not remark
able that for the first few months she
finds it an impossible one. 1t is given
to but few women to keep eyes and
ears and mouth shut when they want
most to open them.
