FOR THE FARMER,
Twin Lambs.

1t is the desire of sheep-growers
nowadays to increase their flock as
rapidly as possible, as sheep not
only bring a bring a better price
than they did two or three years
ago, but are likely to do so for
some time to come, says the Far
mer. One of the ways to increase
the flock rapidly is to buy buck
from some of the large, strong and
coarse wooded breeds. The Dor
set, Shropshire, Cotswold and
Lincoln breeds of sheep have for
ages been bred by their English
originators to produce twins. If
they are bred with those of the
same breed, probably two-thirds
or three-fourths of the ewes will
bear twins. AS the twins were
always favored by breeders, the
tendency to produce twins was in
creased. Very rarely have we
heard of the merino when inter
bred producing twins. But if
there should be such a case such
twins ought to be used as breeders,
as it is a valuable characteristic
and enables the sheep-grower to
increase his flock very rapidly.
In the olden times when sheep
dropped their lambs in the field in
early Spring about the only ad-
vantage of twin lambs was to keep
the ewes in milk should one of
the twins die.

Good Roads for Farmers.

The subject of good road max
ing can not be too strongly aglta-
ted, and we will never have good
roads until we have succeeded in
interesting the farmers i'll this
work, and putting the management
into the hands of those who have
some knowledge and experience
in the work they are now doing,
and if it were not possible to make
but a few rods of good bed, it will
demonstrate to the farmers the
necessity of better roads; and
when once they are thoroughly
interested in this subject we will
all see a vast improvement in our
roads, and there will be no object
ions to the paying of the road tax
in money, and the work of build
ing good roads put under the man
agement of persons thoroughly
competent, snd who have made a
study of these subjects and who
are capable of making the smallest
amount of money pay the largest
interest TO all

Onion Sets.

1t is not often that we can SOW
onion seed just right to make nice
sets, so we manage it in this way:
If after the onions are all pulled,
there are large ones among them
they are picked seperate to sell
same as large onions. The size
next smaller is sorted out for pick
ling and bring s. per bushel,

Care of Dairy Cows.

Every farmer knows how diff
cult it is to keep cows clean when
they are stalled for the night, and
to stanchion them is a system that
is not approved by some. One
farmer tested the plan of blanket

Southern NIoonshiners.

The great majority of moonshiners
are to be found i'll the mountain fast
ness OF Georgia, Alabama and Tennes-
see, and here they live in conditions
OF civilization as crude rs their ances-
tors, most of whom We're English fugi
tives from justice who reached this
country more than century ago. In
deed, in many respects these descend
ants have retorgraded rather than adj
vanced. Had they been surrounded
for century by a Chinese wall they
could not have been more destitute or
ignorant of the modern conveniences.

BUSINESS WOMEN.
They Know the Many Trials of the
Busy Man.

They Know the Many Trials of the
Busy Man.
1t has frequently been said that
women in business employments do
not make as desirable wives as their
sisters who have lived only domestic
lives, but recent observer takes
wholly different view of the case. He
holds that the effect of the woman in
business is not so much to the advant-
age of the woman as to he business
man. Such a woman H. more respect
for him. more regard. II ore sympathy.
She is altogether less likely voluntarily
to impose upon him or invOluntarily to
harasS and worry him. She has been
there, she knows how it is herself, and
this personal experience and knowl-
edge make her more lenient and con-
siderate
Every woman wage-earner worthy Of
the name learns first, last and all the
time that success is attained by close
attention and single mindedness. The
woman who realizes this must also
realize that the sar' rule holds good
of the business n present ca
pacity of daughtel and sister, or in Il
future capacity as wife, she is certain
to show such keen consideration for
the business members of the household
as is undreamed of in the philosophy of
the other kind of woman.
There is no danger of her husband be-
ing besought to just stop on his way
down town and attend some specially
seductive special SALE" or to leave
his office an hour or so earlier in order
that he may bring her home a lot of
samples" She has had practical and
personal proof that 1t Is through this
sort of thing that business interests
are made to suffer, and she does not
propose to let this knowledge play her
false. A woman's appreciation of
business and business ways and means
thus insures domestic comfort; If con
ditions warrant it, 1t benefits the bust
ness man even more than it benefits the
business woman herself-Anaconda

,Japnn,. Att,tude Tovard China,

The racial differences that exist be.
tween Japan and China have probably
led some observers to believe that the
two peoples are naturally antipathetic.
The war of 1894 has heen cited as proof
Of this, and in the present crisis in the
Far East it appears to be taken for
granted by many that the Japanese
people will regard China's misfortune
as their opportunity. That there is
40 valid reason for thinking that this
is Japan's attitude, and that those who
are most prominent in guiding Japan's
public policy sincerely desire to estab-
lish and foster friendly feelings with
China, Is ably shown by Durham
White Stevens, Esq, counsellor OF the
Japanese legation, in his article, 'Ja-
pans Attitude Toward China" which
Rppears in the current issue of Collier s
Weekly

DIR. Johnson's Regard for Truth,

1t was said of DR.. Johnson that he al
ways talked as though he were taking
an oath. He detested the habit of ly-
ing or prevaricating in the slightest de-
gree and would not allow his servants
to say he was not at h G If he was.
"A servants strict regard for the
TRUTH" said he, must be weakened by
such a practice. If l accustomed my
servant to tell lie for me, have l not
reason to apprehend that he will tell
them for himselfT A strict adherence
to truth the doctor considered as a sa-
cred obligation; and in relating the
smallest anecdote he would not allow
himself the minutest addition to embel.

A Thorough Villain.

"Reminiscences, have you? Well,
old man, l am prepared for you, and 1
will give you an account of the mysteri-
GUS wharf murder which paralyzed the
city with horror some fifteen years
ago.
Thus old Clew addressed me as 1 en-

notebook in hand.
"One morning messenger came to
headquarters from one of the substa-

mutilated body of handsomely dress

bulkheads.
II happened to be on duty at the
time, and at once made my way to the
wharf where the body was secured.
when the body was drawn from the
water and stretched out, all dripping,
upon the dock a smothered cry Of hor-
ror burst from the lips of the bystand-
ers as their eyes fell upon a terrible
cash in the mans forehead, plainly in
dicating that he was the victim Of a
foul murder.

working out the mystery.
For three days the body remained at

Treasures of a Spanish Palace.

The royal palace at Madrid Is one of
the most beautiful structures In the
world, says the International Maya
zine, being built by an Italian architect
in the early part of the last century, at
a cost of 81 1000, and was intended
to be riva of the French palace at
Versailles. The material is white mar
Bile. 1t is 40 feet each way, with a
court 240 feet square, rooted with
glass. Few places are more tiresome to
visit than palaces, with their long rows
of gorgeously decorated chambers, gilt
furniture and everlasting mirrors, but
the Casa Real at Madrid is very inter-
esting, and contains remarkable IL
brary of 100000 volumes, also priceless
papers, pictures, bronzes and marble.

Superstition In Yucatan.

''Apropos of the wonderful ancient
ruins in Yucatan," said New Orleans
college professor, "there is one very
fortunate circumstance which has pro-
tecteo them almost entirely from spoil
alton by the Indians. 1t is currently
believed by the natives all through that
part of the country that the ruins are
haunted and that devils will carry
away anybody who attempts to molest
them. This superstition has been en-
couraged by explorers, and is a better
safeguard than a picket of soldiers"

"IT MUST NOT BE-"

The night was throbbing with rapture,
Its pulses ran full with fire,
And the sea for the moon above her
Sobbed her desire:
The pulse in your hand was stronger
Than the pulse of the yearning sea-
But the heart of my heart kept beating,
''It must not be-"
The roses trembled with perfifme
That thrilled us with sweet unrest,
And a storm of passionate longing
Ached in my breast
A dove for some dear lost passion
Mourned tenderly on the hill
But the heart of my heart kept beating,
Hush! hush! BE still"
Each heard in the speech of the other
The throb of a troubled heart,
For we knew that the hour was coming
When we must part;
The soul in your eyes was drawing
My soul, as the moon draws the sea-
But the heart Of my heart kept beating,
1T must not be-"
o Love, the years have been lonely,
And empty of all delight,
Since we two parted forever
That moonlit night!
But still when my soul is aching
For the eyes and the lips of thee
The heart of my heart keeps beating,
1T must not be-

Congress Is Acting to Suppress Their
Sale.
The report of the senate committee
on manufactures upon the subject OF
food adulrerations and food frauds has
created sensation in congress and
awakened great interest throughout
the country.
If there could be published list OF
the names of all articles OF food found
by the committee to be adulterated or
made from injurious ingredients, it
would be OF inestimable value to the
public.
The recommendation of the commit
tee that the sale of alum baking pow
ders be prohibited by law, will make
of special interest the following list oI
names of baking powders which chem
lists have found to contain alum:
