BETTER FEELINGz. EXISTS

Release of German Vessels Has QuIeting
Effect in Berlin.
BERLIN, Jan. 23.-A dispatch received
here from Durban says the German
bark Marie, loaded with sulphur, which
was captured early in january by the
British cruiser Fearless and taken to
Port Elizabeth, has been Internationally
released.
The release Of the Marie has made a
most excellent impression here and is
interpreted as due to the earnest desire
of Great Britain to establish thoroug hly
friendly relations with Germany. New
ertheless, there is the highest authority
for the statement that Germany has not
abandoned the idea Of bringing about a
clearer definition Of what constitutes
contraband and the rights Of neutrals on

ANXIETY AT HIGH TENSION
British Public Eagerly Await News From
the Front.

British Public Eagerly Await News From
the Front.
LONDON, Jan. 23.-General Butler has
divulged nothing of his movements Oh
Monday and the public presume he is
resting on the ground won after two
days Of hard fighting.
Military men assume that fighting
must have taken place Monday, and it
probably was more severe than. on the
two preceding days. General Butler
would not be likely to give the Beers
leisure to add to the elaborate entrench-
ments, to arrange their artillery and to
concentrate their forces. :
The special correspondents Sunday
night We're allowed to send the an
nouncement that the battle would be al
most certainly renewed the following
day and hence official and popular anx-
iety is at high tension. The British
military experts all share the hopes Of
their leaders and, as Spencer Wilkinson
points out, they hesitate to say word
that might be interpreted as unfavor-
able.
Other British Forces Inactive.
The British in other districts of South
Africa continue inactive. General
Methuen's $1,000 men remain behind
earthworks General French's 1000
men at Rensberg were aroused on Sun
day by general alarm that the Beers
were attacking, but it turns out there is
no basis for this. General Gatacre is
quiet at Colesberg.
At Ladysmith the deaths from enteric
fever and other diseases average 10 a
day. The fear is entertained that the
garrison may be SO worn with privations
and disease as rot to be able to do much
in the way of helping General Butler.
Reinforcements a ggregating 5000 or
more have reached Cape Town during
the last three days. It is uncertain how
these have been disposed of, but prob.
ably most Of them have been sent to
Natal, where it is believed General
Butler needs them.

THE AMERICAN WEASEL.
Where This Queer, Quick and Quiet
Little Creature Lives the Rats
Have to Die.

Not everybody knows what a weasel
is, what it resembles and what it lives
for. Some believe, and act upon their
belief, that it has nothing for which
to live and is of no value to man or
any of his avocations. This class is
quick to destroy the useful little
quadruped, whose mission is best de-
scribed when it is said to be the best
frat trap" obtainable, and its life is
taken without any knowledge what
ever of its usefulness about the prem
Uses where there are rats. The Amer
lean weasel is a queer, quiet, quick lit
tie creature and where it lives rats
have to die, for it can go anywhere
rats can and will give them no peace
full moments. If weasels are seen
about the house or barn do not mo-
lest them; they wi harm nothing
but the rats. Ferrets should not be
mistaken for weasels; they are rath-
er dangerous little animals to priv
lege about the barn and house, and
are not to be given the confidence felt
in their peaceful relatives. There may
be creatures for whose existence there
seems to some people no good excuse,
but the weasel is not one of them.-

Detective Mirrors.

A mirror may now be regarded az
something more than promoter OF
vanity, since it is often set to do the
work of a detective. BY well-arranged
mirrors shopkeepers can watch their
customers, even when they turn their
backs on them. Thus they save their
costly stock, and avoid giving offense
to honest buyers. One jeweler in
the west end of London has caught
several well-dressed culprits simply
by the aid of the looking-glass. Own.
ers of street-corner coffee-stalls find
the detective mirror very useful.
Petty pilfering goes on briskly
around such stalls. One London
coffee-stall owner declared that he
used to lose dollar week in this
way. Now he has mirrors fixed to
the back and sides of his stall, and
when his back is turned he can still
watch his customers and protect his
interests. A book-stall clerk told a
similar tale. The theft of magazines
land books represented serious loss
to the firm until adroitly placed mir
rors proved an effective check

Improving Seed Corn.

We notice in an exchange that a
farmer has brought to the Office of his
local papers 16 ears of field corn, aver
aging IA inches long, and weighing 17h
pounds. It was the common yellow
corn, originally eight rowed, but by
careful selection he has brought much
of it up to ten or IL rows. We call
that improving it the wrong way for
the northern states. We have seen H.
rowed corn many time here in New
England, and seldom saw anyone who
cared to grow it the third year. The
cob is so coarse that it does not dry out
readily, and unless the season is very
favorable it is liable to mold. Possibly
it may do better in a more southern
climate, but we want no 12-rowed yel-
low corn here.-American Cultivator.

From Washington
How a Little Boy Wac Saved.

Washington, D. C.-"When our boy
was about is months old he broke out
with a rash which was thought to be
measles. In few days he had swell
ing on the left side of his neck and
it was decided to be mumps. He was
given medical attendance for. about
three weeks when the doctor said it
was scrofula and ordered a salve. He
wanted to lance the sore, but would
not let him, and continued giving him
medicine for about four months, when
the bunch broke in two places and be-
came running sore. Three doctors
said it was scrofula, and each or
dered a blood medicine. A neighbor
told me of case somewhat like our
baby's which was cured by Hoods
.Sarsaparilla. I decided to give it to
my boy and in short while his health
improved and his neck healed so nice
ly that stopped giving him the med
icine. The sore broke out again, how
ever, whereupon I again gave him
Hoods Sarsaparilla and its persistent
use has accomplished a complete
cure" MRS. NETT1E CHASE, Al K st.,

feet long, and fashion the forward end
of each in the shape of a sleigh runner.
Then take 2x4 the same length as
the boards, and bevel the edges in such
way that when the boards are nailed
on they will spread out at the bottom
until they are about eight inches apart.
This trough is to pass, inverted, over
the corn row, between the shovels of
the cultivator; its sloping sides catch
ing the loose soil and leaving it lying
loosely next the corn, but never on it.
10 fasten this trough to the cultivator,
bore an inch hole through the sides
near the front end and just beneath the
top 2x4. Through these run small,
strong rope and tie each end to the
cultivator in such a way that the
trough will be kept little in advance
of the shovels. It is best to leave this
rope to play loosely through the
trough, as it would otherwise upset in
turning at the end of the rows. The
illustration shows the construction
exactly. Make your handy devices now,

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Clover is the ideal pastu1age; win.
ter rye is also a good and early pas
ture, but should have been provided
for in the fall; and rape is also good;
oats and pease to come on later.
Rape for hogs can be sown as early
as the ground can be worked well in
the spring, and can be sown in sue.
cession until August, if desired. The
last sowing making excellent and late

Gasoline for worms in sheep has
proven to be very effective. We dc
not know that it has been tried on
hogs, but it would probably be as eff
fective with them. It will do no harm
anyway.
Hogs with scabby and sore backs
are probably very lousy. Wash with
kerosene emulsion. It is supposed
that everybody knows how to make il
by this time, directions have been
given so often.
Give brood sows an opportunity tc

and shut eff by means of rod extend

convenient height above ground. The
waste is one-fourth-inch hole, which
is opened by the act of shutting off the
water. It allows all the water in the
upright pipe to drain off, and is per-
feet safeguard against freezing. The
upright discharge pipe is bent at the
trough.
For a plant of this kind it is not
necessary or indeed desirable to wall
up the we'll to the surface of the
ground. Dig the usual size, say six
feet in diameter. and when good flow
of water is reached, build the wall only
six or eight feet high, then lay heavy
OAK timbers across, the ends resting
on the top of the wall. Cut a hole in
this cover large enough to admit the
strainer; over the hole set joint of
six-inch drain pipe and fill up the we'll
adding joints Of pipe as the filling pro-
ceeds. A storage tank free from any
possible contamination is then oh.
tanned. If rock is struck, blast out a
reservoir, and lay the timbers across
on top of the rock and fill up as before
without any wall.
The cost will depend largely on the
distance the water must be piped. Last
October the writer put down well Is

$40 feet of ditch, three feet deep, laid
one-inch galvanized pipe in it, and had
the job completed at a cost of $54. This
included everything, the work being
all hired. On many farms the cost OF
the pipe need be the only cash outlay
