A NOVEL LIFE PRESERVER.
New Bag Device Improvement on
Brooches Buoy.

New Bag Device Improvement on
Breeches Buoy.
An improved or protected breeches
buoy has been invented by Lieut.. C. Fl.
Mcclellan, inspector of the life saving
service on the Jersey coast.
The favorite method of landing ship
wrecked people when the wreck lies
near enough to the beach to enable the
surfmen to shoot a line over the vessel
from the shore is the use of the breech-
es buoy, which Is simply a big cork
life-preserver filter with a short pair
of canvas trousers or trunks.
The shipwrecled person puts on this
preserver and the buoy is hauled back
and forth from the wreck by the men
on the beach by means Of tackle
All objections to this old buoy will
be overcome by the new and protected
preserver designed by Lieut. Mcclellan,
which will soon be introduced all
through the service. Surrounding the
breeches, through which a person
thrusts his legs, is canvas bag. This
affords an extra protection against the
sea-. There is a valve at the bottom,
through which any water that comes
over the buoy is automaticall elected.
1t is said that women show mush less
hesitancy in trusting themselves to the
new style buoy than to the old one

SORGHUM FOR FEED.
All Farmers to Sow n Few Acres
This Spring.

Sorghum is one of the very best OF
cured feeds that ever used. Having q
small amount of hay to depend upon
last year, concluded to try sorghum
MS a substitute. About the first of June
sowed three acres on rather thin
land where poor stand of clover and
some weeds had been turned under,
sowing broadcast, one and one-fourth
bushels per acre of late Orange sor-
ghum seed. (This year / shall sow one
and one-half bushels per acre, as the
hay will be finer, better to handle and
easier to cure.)
cut this sorghum about September
10, with moving machine, just as hay,
left it lying in the swath for ten days,
then ralied and shocked and left in
the shock for three weeks, the shock
being very large; then l drew to barn
and put in NOW. The result is that we
have sufficient feed for stock, and hay
to sell. Our sorghum gave us II large
loads off of three acres.
AS to sorghum for green feed, think
that first-class pasture is just as good,
but it is all right when pasture in late
summer is short, to feed cows or
horses. In May of last year we sowed
an orchard of two acres to sorghum,
In drills. using corn planter, one peck
of seed per acre. This we commenced
feeding in midsummer, when pasture
began to get short, and found that
cows and stock of all kinds except
sheep relished it. Six yearling cattle
were put in small lot and fed sorghum
exclusively one month and think they
did as well as those given the run of
pasture fields. Horses are fond of it
in the green, especially about the time
II is ripening or has gained its growth,
and will relish it even in pasture as
well as in manger. AS to it's being
lpoison for any kind of stock, do not
find it so. have fed it in all stages
of growth, even turned spring calves
upon the second growth, with good re-
suits. This year 1 shall sow 81 acres
in place of three, and shall give the
| young cattle sorghum all winter, az
those fed thereon this winter are do
ing well. i have some doubt as to its
being as good feed for sheep as hay
Some of our sheep seemed to have
looseness of bowels, and as we were
feeding sorghum hay once day, to-
gether with fodder and clover hay, we
thought perhaps it was the sorghum
caused it. We dropped off the sorghum
but the trouble has not stopped as yet
eight days after change of feed. II
you are not sure you will have enough
feed otherwise, a few acres of sorghum
will not come amiss next winter.-Car
Follbom, in Ohio Farmer.

TRUST OF FARMERS.
Unique Project to he Proposed at the
Coming Agricultural Congress
In Paris.

The uniting of all the farmers of the
or agreement to restrict the produc.
tion of wheat and to raise prices is the
project which it is hoped TO carry out
at the International Agricultural con.
ference. to be held in Paris July to 10.
1t is proposed to ask the farmers of the
world to reduce their wheat output by
20 per cent, and not to sell q bushel
for less than one dollar.
j. C. Hanley, of st. Paul, eXecu-
tive agent of the Farmers alliance and
Industrial union, the National Cotton
Growers association, the Farmers
Federation of the Mississippi Valley,
| and the National Grain Growers asso-
citation, is the chief promoter of the
international Agricultural trust in
America. Prof. G. Rutland, of the
niversity of Fribourg, Switzerland, is
the chief promoter of the plan in Eu-
rope. The idea was conceived by these
two men Independently.
Mr.. Hanley has been worker in the
interests of the farmers for years. He
has been interested in many hold-your-
wheat schemes and is prominently as
sociated with the farmers elevator
and various cooperative undertakings
He has for years studied the problem
of wheat prices and is at present very
active in promoting legislation by con.
gress in the interest of the farmers
He has long been of the opinion that
if the farmers would only get together
and come to an understanding as to
limiting production and would agree tc
sell only when their price could be OBJ
tanned they could easily master the
situation. AS professor of economics
Prof. Rutland had come to the same
conclusion. His study of the agrariar
problems of different civilized coun
tries led him to believe that the only
cure for the widespread troubles oi
farmers, which are much more severe in
the old than in the new world, is to re
strict production. Both Mr.. Hanley
and the professor We're hard at work
getting the idea into practice when
they encountered each other through
correspondence. Since then they have
been working in harmony with com
mon idea, namely to persuade the In
ternational Agricultural congress ts
indorse the idea and recommend it tc
the various associations present al
the conference for application mex,

SOME POINTS ON PIGS.

Don't breed from an irritable, vi
cious tempered sow. Her bad quail
tiles are liable to be repeated in an in
tensitied degree in her offspring.
The developed hog is so artificial an
animal that it cannot safely be left
to what some swine-growers call mat
ural conditions" that is, conditions
similar to those in which the wild
or neglected hog lives and thrives.
Ten months ought to be good
average length of time to take the
pig from birth to the market. If much
more time is spent in bringing the pig
to market size and quality, there will
be small profit when the carcass is
sold.
The savage, feet, vicious, nervous,
pugnacious "razorback" cannot be
confined and fed and fattened as the
domesticated hog can be. The wild
brute would promptly die if subjected
to the care and feed which make the
tame hog fat and healthy
In northern regions the pig can be
made to put on lean meat by pastur.
ing, with its implied exercise, and by
feed of skimmilk, wheat bran, soy
beans and cowpeas. This food is far
cheaper than the rations generally
used in northern localities.-Journal

Many Prety No0elties
to Be Seen In The Stores
Hundreds of Little Accessories That Add to the
Brilancy of the Season

and fine Isle. In design they are made
much longer than formerly and are
made to be worn with the short sleeves
that will bo feature of the summer
season. In colors there are light pastel

wrist embroideries, and lace or velve.
stripes between. The gloves intended
for ordinary wear the colors are tan,
wood, browns and gum shades.
One of the really new novelties is
the neck belts, little narrow affairs to
be worn on high stock collars and fas-
tened with the daintiest of little belt
pins that are also new novelty, made
necessary by the introduction of the
belts themselves.
One of the unique novelties in pock-
etbooks is little affair in seal, made
with a compartment for handker-
chief, and over which the flap fastens
exposing the handkerchief ut either
end. These are finished with corners
and clasps of either silver or gold.
The fans that are being shown are
in sheer gauzes, white satins embroid-
cred with ivory sticks, real duchess
lace with sticks of mother of pearl
black gauze in oriental effects with
ebony sticks.
There are many ornaments for the
hair being shown, all of which are
destined to adorn the new spring and
summer coiffures. They are of the
usual materials of tortoise shell, gold
or silver, and some of the more elabor-
ate and expensive are studded with
jewels.
To all of these novelties must add

stocks with bias folds of colored vel

having figures with knotted fringe

also attracted my attention because of
their beauty. They have narrow black
velvet ribbon run through beading or
meshes, and others have scrolls of
white taffeta silk appliqued in various
ways with narrow ruched ribbon.
In parasols one of the most striking
novelties was one of silk in n Partisan
design with border like handker-
chief. This wau almost square, with q
deep frill of ribbon around. Still an
other striking parasol was of hello
trope silk with clusters and rows of
white ribbon almost covering it, and
a deep fall of white mousselinc de sole.
A third was of cardinal silk with ap-
plique of black French lace. A fourth
was of turquoise blue silk with gold
and silver passementerie, aud fall OF
duchesi lace all around.
OF handkerchiefs there is no end of
variety and all of the daintiest and
sweetest designs. They are of fine
sheer linen with narrow borders, and
Ia the corners hand embroidered with
daisies, pansies, forget-me-nots and
clusters of ferns in their natural colors

Mormon Exploring Party.

Dispatches from Salt Lake City re-
port a very unusual development OF
Mormon enterprise. A Mormon scien-
tific exploring expedition recently set
out for a fifteen months exploring
trip to Mexico and Central and South
America. The company is made up OF
twenty students of Brigham Young
Academy. in charge Of President Cluff
of the academy and two members OF
the faculty. The general purpose OF
the expedition is to search for ruined
cities, photograph their remains. and
to collect botanical, archaeological and
anthropological specimens. Besides
this it has a special religious errand
The Book of Mormon, it seems, claims
to be a record of the ancient inhabi-
tants of America, from the time OF the
Tower Of Babel to the fifth century OF
the Christian era. The Mormon story
is that the Nephites of the tribe of Ma
nasseh came from Jerusalem to Amer
lea about 600 B. C. The Mormon ex.
plorers hope to get on to the trail o.
the Nephites and perhaps to find the
remains of their capital in the valley
of the Magdalena. Their proposed
course Is through Mexico and Contra
America into Ecuador and Peru. Thu
country is a rich field for explorer
who are fever proof. They propose t
return by sea from Valparaiso to Sal
Francisco.
