| have now made all my stalls by a
different model, not altogether unlike
the Hoard stall, but which | consider
quite an improvement on it, described
as follows: First divide the entire
space for stalls into spaces of two
stalls each. Put up studding for par
ttions 6 feet long. Partly board up
each partition. Across these unfn-
shcd partitions place Il 2NS piece (F)
not nearer the floor than 2l inches
with edge on stall side feet from feed
way. (W). Finish the partitions to n
height Of about feet inches. Across
the top place u 2Ni piece On, so that
the Stats (E) nailed to il and the 2xS
piece will be perpendicular. The front
side of TIE racl, (O) is boarded upat an
angle; maxim" il lower than the other
side, So that the bottom can be reached
in cleaning out.
Next make box with partition for
two COWS; each side should he ilarcd-
at the side where feed is put about six
inches, the other side two or three
inches. Place the box in position un-
der the rack which is made for two
COWS; raise four inches from the floor
by putting short pieces of two by four
(K) underneath. The rack is much bet
ter for feeding whole cornfodder if the
space for two cows is made i'm one rack
The two stall pieces may now be di-
vidcd by short partitions not running
through the feed rack. The scantling
to prevent the COW from stepping back
to lie down is spaced six feet from the
rack, or same as in the Hoard stall
Just in rear of the COWS hind feet as
she stands at the rack. In the diagram,

to the fact that an unusual sort Of
preacher was among them.
Then he wrote his stories-those
which preceded "In His Steps"-and
read them from the pulpit, one INSTALL
ment at time, instead of delivering
sermons. He interested his congrega.
ton in his plan to regenerate "Tennes-
scetown." one of the squalid suburbs
of Topeka.
Such is the outline of the career
which has brought him fame. He Is
hard worker and lives modestly. He
has n wife and one child, boy of =
years. His father also lives near him in
Topeka and helps him with his work.
Although Mr.. Sheldon has written a
dozen books, he Is known best as the
author Of I'm His Steps" The work
was not copyrighted in England, and
20 publishing houses there are still is
suing editions. 1t has been translated
into French, German, Russian, Italian,
Armenian, Swedish, Norwegian, Span
ish and dialects of western Africa. Mr..
Sheldon is by nature retiring man
and almost breads notoriety. When
told that the people who read his books
would like to know about the author,
he said: THAT Is mere idle curiosity.

Although he avoids notoriety, he is
willing to speak when an opportunity
presents itself to further the cause of
religion or humanity. He believes in
municipal ownership of public utilities
and has studied the subject at home
and abroad. He affiliates with no po-
litical party, but In local campaigns
has made speeches in favor Of public
ownership. He believes that water.

street car lines, should be operated By

Changing Breeds and Crops.

The farmer who is continually
changing his breeds of stock or his IA
,orite crops is very seldom money
maker. He is apt to find out that he
made the change just little too late.
He sees some one making money on
beef cattle, and he abandons dairy
farming to breed fat cattle, only to
learn that he ought to have bred hogs.
He tries hogs, and becomes convinced
that sheep are more profitable. He
gives up crop he knows how to grow
to take up some speciality that his
neighbor has found a profitable one,
and few years experience teacheshim
how to grow it, but it also teaches him
that he could have bought his expert
ence much cheaper. We do not mean
that man should not change his
breeds of stock, his crops or his meth
DDS Of farming, but he will do well to
make his changes gradually, and not
part with good thing every time he
thinks anyone else has a better thing.

!: IHE REV. CHARLES k Sheldon
!; AND HIS WORLD FAMOUS STORIES.


Rev. Charles NJ Sheldon, whose at
tempt to run Topeka newspaper as
Christ would, has attracted widespread
attention and is most interesting per-
sonality. He might be preaching to
great audiences in rich church, he
might be making an immense fortune
simply by collecting royalties on books
whose editions run into the millions Of
copies, or he might be on the lecture
platform receiving the plaudits of the
people Of great cities, but he is content
to remain pastor of a modest church
in Topeka and do his work as he did it
before his name became known in
many lands.
Here is the story Of his career: He
was born in Wellsville, N. Y, in 1857.
his parents removed to Dakota. His
father was minister who farmed
weekdays and preached in a little
church on Sunday. The Sheldon farm
was Just outside Of Yankton, and there
the man who was to write Robert
Hardy's Seven Days." "In His Steps"
and "The Crucifixion Of Philip Strong"
spent most Of his boyhood. 1t was
farm work which built up the broad
shoulders and developed the muscular
limbs Of the man who has become the
foremost of religious authors.
AS boy Mr.. Sheldon went to school
in Yankton. Even at that time he had

ing. 1t was characteristic Of the man.
He was getting acquainted"
Topeka is the headquarters of the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe rail-
road. Hundreds of men are employed
in the railroad shops, and hundreds Of
trainmen make their headquarters
there. 1t was amorg these that Mr..
Sheldon spent much of his time.
He obtained an employees pass from
the railroad company, and, dressed as
an employee, he made trips up and
down the road in company with the
trainmen, learning their ways and
drawing out their ideas on every con-
ceivable subject, especially on religion.
After that he spent week or two
with the physicians of Topeka, study
ing them. He read their books and
visited their patients with them. An
other week was spent with the law
yers in their offices and in court.
In the hard times of 1893 Mr.. Shell
don received many applications for aid
from persons who We're out of employ
ment. He determined to find out for
himself whether or not employment
could be secured by n common laborcr,
and, putting on n suit of clothes, he
started out in search of 1t. Every one
who ever employed labor received a
call from him. but he was invariably
turned away with the information that
no laborers We're needed. On the fol-
lowing Sunday he related his expert
ences, and the people of Topeka awoke

begun to write stories. They We're
printed in the local paper, some of
them. "And they were just as good"
says his father, "as those he writes
now."
AS his father was anxious for him to
become a minister, the young man
went east and entered Phillips acade-
my, Andover, Mass, where thousands
of theological students are trained.
Later he took a course at Brown uni
versity and then returned to the An
dover Theological seminary.
After summer in Europe he entered
the ministry and began preaching in
Waterbury, Vt. But the spirit Of the
west was in him, so when he received
a call to become the pastor of the new
ly established Central Congregational
church, in Topeka. in 1888, he gladly
accepted il as the opening he had been
waiting for.
Most men would not have thought
the outlook an inviting one. The little
congregation of 60 had no church build
thS, DuI lCcS III d Httic
hall over a grocery store. But he went
to work with will. AS result Of his
energetic methods the little hall was
soon abandoned and a substantial stone
church erected. The congregation was
increased to 300. 1t was not rich or
fashionable congregation, nor is it to-
day, but 1t Is very much alive.
Early in his pastorate Mr.. Sheldon
began to employ strikingly original
methods. He was not satisfied with
the kind of work usually done by min
listers. He wanted to know what ideas
the masses of the people had on the
subject Of Christianity, and he wanted
to find out about their daily lives and
occupations.
With this desire in his heart he asked
his congregation to excuse him from
pastoral work for three months, and
his congregation saw little Of him ex-
sept during church services. He was

DEATH IN THE MILK.
Infants by the Score Are Murdered
Every Year Through the Use OF
"PrcscrVatiycs."

Recent reports on the use of pre-
servatives in foods tell of case OF an
infant whose chief food was milk, says
the New York Farmer. The infant was
sick, and the physicians, after inycsti-
eating everything else connected with
it, turned to its food. At once they dis
covered that the milk fed to the unfor-
tunate child was 'preserved" milk, that
is to say, milk in which an unscrupu-
lous dealer had put boracic acid to
keep it sweet" The adultcrant made
the milk unfcrmcntable, of course, and
il also made it absolutely indigestible.
I'hc milk could not sour. Neither
could it be digested by the unfortunate
infant.
This is typical case of the danger
GUS effects of representatives" in food.
That infant was being murdered by de-
grees. The man who placed the pre-
servative" in the milk was committing
murder, and committing it for the
basest of all base motives, the motive
of gain. How should the public re-
gard dealer who would thus endanger
| the lives of his patrons children? Could
any punishment be too severe for q
crime of that kind? 1t is to be feared
that a thorough investigation in the
towns and cities would show that very
many deaths of infants are directly
due to the use of adulterated or pre-
served" milk, doctored cream, and
other monstrosities.

BERLIN, Aug. 1.-THE belief still
prevails here that the allied forces
have not undertaken she PekIn ad-
vance. and that the recent actions at
Peit Sang and Yang Tsun were solely
meant to secure strategic tenure Of
Tlen Tsin against the Chinese troops
sent from Pekln or from the south, as
Yang Tsun dominates both railroad and
river communication. The military au-
thorties here also maintain that an
advance upon Pekin with the present
forces and lacking an officer in chief
command would be equal TO failure
and enormous losses.
The news cabled here that the United
States Is now desirous of bringing
about clear diplomatic understanding
regarding the intended extent Of the
expedition Is received by the foreign
Office favorably. since the aims Of the
United States, viz: The re-establish-
ment OF order, the awarding OF. dam
ages to Americans for their injury and
