| Cows kept clean and self-respect-
ing are pretty sure to be in good phys
ical condition to give better yield OF
milk and cream. Sanitary stables are
thus more essential in winter than in
| summer.
The south's capacity for raising
cotton, and the present inclination to
place mills in the south for the han

make the southern states the richest

not dealing fairly with his customers.
He should give the cow good. clean

One thing is very necessary to
the protection of the fowls on the

that is to see that everything that
dies on the place is properly buried,
and that no dead animal matter is al

HoLYoKE GIRLS cOAsTINe.
Some Use BroOms, Others Pans, While
for Some n Single or Less
Sufices.

This winter the students have found
vent for their superfuous energy in
coasting. The smooth, hard crust of
snow of last week made coasting with
sleds or without most delightful sport.
The back campus offers a favorable
field for this exercise, as there are prac-
tically no trees.
Brooms are the favorite sleds, al
though some of the students have found
pans equally exciting. By peculiar
way of doubling themselves up the girls
find it an easy matter to- ride down hill
on broom, and, in fact, the sport is
much enhanced by the unexpected an
tics of the broom; sometimes it will dig
itself into mound of snow and send
its rider in mass few yards ahead
The brooms are especially useful as car.

weighed into dragging them around
The pack horse generally gets her fun
by suddenly splitting the broom riders.
To use pan for sled requires more
skin than to use a broom, because the
rider curfs her feet up into the pan and
can only push off with her hands, some
thing in the manner of a tub race. II
takes only slight lurch to tip the pan
over, and then the girl tumbles in
sqealing bunch, while those behind pile
on top of her. Shingles are somewhat
more unsatisfactory, as they are toe
apt to leave their rider half way down
the hill, either to go on without any
steed, or start all over again. If the
rider has had swift start she generally
prefers to go to the bottom of the in
cline without the Single Springfield

CHIcAGO's NOTED RIVER.
II Not Washed Too Clean the Historic
Stream May BE Seen Flowing
Both Ways.

That the drainage canal can flow two
ways at once may seem queer, but
Isham Randolph, chief engineer of the
sanitary district, says it is entirely pos
sible. Not only is it possible, says he,
but in all probability there will be half
dozen or dozen times a year when
such peculiar phenomenon may be
observed.
A southwest wind following soon aft
er a northeast wind would almost GER
tainly create such condition, accord
ing to Mr.. Randolph. AS everyone at
all familiar with the whims and pecu-
liarities of Lake Michigan knows, a sus-
tanned northeast wind lasting several
days will raise the level at the Chicago
end of the lake and send great quanti-
ties of water into the Chicago river. A
southwest wind has the opposite effect
and the effect would be.most marked
when brought about Immediately after
a northeaster. The water piled up in
the drainage canal would begin 10 flow
out to the lake, with the falling level.
That is, the surface water would. The
actual flow in the canal would be main
tanned, owing to the open sluice gates
at the Lockport end, sc, the two-mile an
hour flow toward Lockport would keep
up, but beneath the surface. AS long as
the southwest breeze would last the wa
ter would be flowing the two ways at
once.
II never saw that so clearly illus
trated," said Mr.. Randolph, in explain
ing the phenomenon, ''as one day when
we were pumping water out of a pool
in the canal when we were building it.
The pumped water was all 'riled' and
black and it poured into some exceed
ingly clear water from spring near
the Des PLANES river. There was
breeze, enough to create a surface cur
rent on the clear water, through which
the current of yellow water could be
clearly observed flowing in the opposite
direction. Straws and chips thrown
out on top of the clear water were
borne along its surface, one way, while
several feet below the CRIME and silt
of the pumped current were plainly Wis
IDLE moving the other way."-Chicagc

The farmer who can estimate the
amount of profit derived from flock
at the end of year will be not only
fortunate, but will have a higher
opinion of poultry as source of rev.
enue than may be supposed. If he is
one who observes his flock, and feeds
only when necessary, taking advan-
tage of all the waste foods on the
farm, and allows his fowls to do their
share in securing food, he will find
that he has handsome profit on the
investment of the poultry; but UNI
less he will take hold of
the poultry end of the business
on the farm, and keep an ac-
count, he viii feed great many
worthless hens, and compel the good
ones to support those that are UNI
profitable. The farmer should keep
no fowl that does not give a profit, and
he should not keep a large flock if he
can get as good results from a smaller
number. There are too many fowls on
farms that are non-producers, and as
they simply increase the cost and give
nothing in return they reduce the
profit proportionately, and lead the
farmers to suppose that fowls do not
pay them, when in fact they may have
some in the flock that are paying them

A Sinking City.-A Chicago professor
predicts that in / 800 years Chicago will
be inundated by Lake Michigan. The
city is sinking at the rate of nine
inches every 100 years.
One of the largest national ceme-
teries in this country is located at Sal
isbury, N. C. There are over 1000 un-
known dead in the cemetery, which is
kept in splendid repair by the govern
ment.
Californians are beginning to culti-
vate the tomato tree, which bears clus-
tiers of delicious fruit, thousands OF
boxes of which are sent yearly from
Ceylon to London, and for which it is
believed good market could be found
in our eastern states.
In the reign of Richard III. there
were eminent clothiers and wooden
weavers whose family name was Blan-
ket. They were the first persons who
manufactured that comfortable ma
terial which has ever since been called
by their name, and which was then
used for peasants clothing.
1t is not generally known that King
Philip, the great Indian chief, the
scourge of the white man, the son OF
Massasoit, and who had been at one
time the greatest friend the pilgrims
had, was never given burial, but
that the head of the poor wretch was
sent to Plymouth, where it was fixed
on a pole on which it was exposed fol
more than a score of years; that his
hands were sent to Boston, and that
his body was hung up in the trees
where he fell for the birds of the ali
to devour.

CINE to pump water for my stock. I
pay Is cents per gallon for oil, con-
Stunning about four gallons per day.
Add to this the cost of my engineer,
to say nothing of SIS for repairs about
every three months, and at the very
least calculation my water cost me
slips per day, or $3.50 per year. That
is too expensive for me; can't afford
it." Very few farmers can afford such
an outlay of money, and none of them
cun afford the incidental aggrayation.
But necessity is the mother of in
vention," and it is absolutely necessary
that these farmers have water. The
invention to meet this necessity has
long ago been completed. A neighbor
OF the farmer mentioned above Dur
chased windmill at cost of SITS for
entire outfit, including an S,000-gallon
tank. He has sufficient water for 20
head of horses, besides numbers Of
cattle, hogs, etc. This mill, if prop
erly erected, will have not one cents
worth of repairing for two years, and
probably not for five years. The cost
OF this farmers water will be about
one cent per day. What contrast TO
the above!
Some one makes complaint against
the wind mill that you have water only
when the wind blows. This may be
true if you buy mill that runs only
in gale, and tank of about 1000
gallons capacity. But an aeromotor
that runs when all others are still, and
you will always be supplied with water
in your homes as conveniently as in
the city, with no fear of the water rate
collector, and your farms will be both
improved in appearance and increased
in value.-Farmers' Home Journal.

CHARGED WITH VAGRANCY.
Stelzer and Webster Make Poor Use OF
Their Liberty.

Alfred Stelzer and VIM. Webster were
before the police court Friday on
the charge of vagrancy. They are the
parties released from Jail Wednesday
afternoon, no indictment having been
found against them. After their re-
lease, both proceeded to get drunk, and
late yesterday afternoon Stelzer walked
into South Front street residence and
proceeded to make himself at home, the
ladies who were in the house being ter
rorized by his actions. He removed his
coat and lay down on the sofa and went
to sleep. The police were notified and
took him to the city hall.
In the meantime Webster had sue
ceeded in filling up. and was found at
the union depot. He was too drunk to
walk, and was laid on baggage truck
and wheeled to the city hall. Both
men were evidently trying to get back
into Jail to spend the remainder of the
cold weather, but Judge Shissler would
not stand for this. After giving them
talking to. he ordered them to leave
the city within half an hour or be put
at work on the stone pile, no matter
how cold it was. Officer Morrow was
detailed to see them get out of the city,
which he did.
