His Life For = Hand.

In little town or village in GlouceS-
tershire there is a church which
contains the mortal remains of one of
the old Crusaders. In mOldering eff
figy he is depicted on the tomb, while
by his side in cold eloQuence is imaged
the form of his wife. It will be noticed
by even the casual observer that the
female image is bereft of one of the
hands. and the story runs that the
Crusader, while fighting in the east,
was made a prisoner of war and
brought before Saladin, who, before
executing judgment upon him, asked
him if there was any reason why he
should not be put to death. To this
the knight replied that he was but
young, and would leave a newly welded
wife, who would bitterly mourn his
loss
1.-The love of woman is as fleeing
breath" retorted the sultan. Your
wife will forget that you have ever
lived; she will love again and marry
another" To this the sad knight
could only reply that on her fidelity
he could rest his soul. 'Wel1, then,"
replied Saladin, 81 will promise on my
oath as a soldier that if this mans
wife will cut off one of her hands and
send it to me 1 will set him free to
go to her" By tedious and slow jour
neyings the message came, and she, in
all piteousness for him who was her
lover and her lord, caused her hand to
be cut off and sent it to the sultan,
who kept his word and set the Cru
aader free-Notes and Queries.

POINTS IN FEEDING SOWS.

More depends upon the care and
management of the brood SOW during
her pregnancy than most farmers
have any idea of, says correspondent
of the Prairie Farmer. [ think the two
greatest mistakes made are feeding
too much corn and allowing too many
to sleep together. do not object to
a SOW being fed on corn before she is
bred, then begin to feed oats and corn
ground together and made into slop
with little milk added to the morn
ing feed and some ear corn at night.
A few raw potatoes are beneficial and
sows are very fond of them. In win
ter the sleeping quarters should be
arranged so that not more than five
or six sows will sleep in one place.
The reason for this is that they will
not pile up and crowd one another as,
in my opinion, this is the cause Of
great loss of pigs and also of some
,sows. The sleeping pens should be
kept bedded and should be cleaned
out often. Rye straw makes an ex-
cellent bedding, and wild hay is also
good. A little clover will be relished
by the sows and is good for them. I
like Chester White sows. They are
gentle at narrowing time and will not
make noise Or get up when you ap-
proach their pen. We need not say
to any of our readers that succulent
food in the form of grass is profitable
in growing hogs, but many do not
make as large fuse of this cheap and
easily grown food as they might.
Every farmer should have plenty Of
blue grass and clover. An acre Or
two sown to rape will provide excel
lent feed for hogs as we'll as sheep.
Then they might add very largely to
the variety and excellence of the diet
of the hog by growing pumpkins in
the corn. These are relished, as are
also hardshell squashes. The farmer
should make much larger use of the
succulent foods, especially grass, rape,
clover, pumpkins, potatoes and
wormy apples during the summer and
all seasons for his brood sows, and
depend mainly on corn forafnishing
his hogs for market.-Erchange

Are you looking for some opportu-
nifty of doing good? If you are, take
to heart these words of VIM. Bur-
leigh's: "There never was a day that
did not bring its own opportunity for
doing good that never could have
been done before and never can be
again.
These are true words. You can
prove them if you will. It is often
true that those who talk most about
wanting to do good 'sif they could"
have no perception of the opportuni-
ties given them every day of their
lives. The real worker in Christ's
earthly kingdom does not wait for
opportunities; he creates them. If
you are in earnest, you will never be
idle for lack of opportunity.

1t has been agreed that newspaper
subscriptions are an infallible test of
mans honesty. They will sooner or
later discover the man. If he is dis
honest he will cheat the printer some
way-declare he has paid when he has

OUR FARMERS.
TROUBLE WITH THE CABBAGES.

Cabbages are subject to several dis
eases, some of which are severe.
Trouble is especially apt to occur with
| the late crop,-those grown for sour
kraut and winter storage.
Probably the worst two of those
and the black root. Both have been
found in Vermont gardens, and both
are threatening to become widespread.
The Vermont experiment station,
eating all such troubles, has been
making experiments in the treatment
of these diseases, and has issued a
small pamphlet setting fourth the
facts as far as now known.
Club root is curious malforma ton
of the roots, which ruins the plants
by preventing the absorption of water
and foods. 1t was probably intro
duced into this country from Europe,
and is spreading. 1t has been OBJ
served in Vermont only recently.
Clubbing of roots is due to their in
vasion by parasite which stimulates
them to abnormal growth. This para
site once established in the soil, is
very difficult to exterminate. The
parasite is perpetuated over winter
by spores which are formed in vast
numbers in the dubbed roots. These
germs pass uninjured into the manure
of stock fed upon dubbed roots, and
the use of such infected manure is one
of the cemmonest ways ofintroducing
the germs into the soil. Another way
is with roots transplanted from in
tested soil.
The remedies recommended are
briefly as follows: CD Remove all
dubbed roots from the field and des-
troy them by burning or burial, or
boil them if to be fed to stock. o.
Pillow infected soil deeply. 60 Rotate
crops. (4) Suppress all weeds of the
mustard family. 90 Apply lime, 75-
$50 bushels per acre, in autumn before
planting cabbages Or turnips.
Black rot of cabbages has been OBJ
1t is caused by bacteria, which invade
the vessels oftleaves and stem. The
diseased plants are weakened or die of
sort of dry rot. The blackened
condition of the invaded veins is
the surest sign of the disease. 1t is
not to be confused with the common
wet rot. The germs pass the winter
in the soil, or in the manure if dis
eased plants are fed to stock. They
re-enter the cabbage plants through
the water pores Or insect punctures.
Theitreatmentrecom for the
black rot may be summarized as fol-
lows: Cd Rotation of crops. (2) Care
in selection of manure. g. Suppress
sion Of cabbage insects. (4) Removal
and obstruction of spotted leaves in
the early stages of the disease and of
entire plants if the stem is invaded.

Keep your life insured.
Reply promptly to all letters.
Shun lawsuit as you would a rock

AS business proposition it pays to
be polite.
AS choice between evils choose
neither.
Tell the truth about your goods.
Merit wins generally: truth always.
Never invest where the element of
chance or luck governs che returns.
Meet your bills promptly and make
your collections with equal prompt
ness.
Do not imagine that a mere bust
ness acquaintance is interested in
your gains and losses.
Do not suppose that any one is more
interested in your welfare than you
yourself must be.
Never glance at business mans
books Or papers which may accident
ally be left open before you.
In general the business equilibrium
is everywhere maintained. You can't
buy good horse for dollar.
Always keep your temper, but have
sense enough to know when you are
insulted and spirit enough to resent
it.
Learn to know the distinction be-
tween friendship and intimacy. Seek
to have many friends, but mighty few
intimates.
By far the greater portion of the
business of the country is done on
credit. If you impair or lose your
credit you are with the hopeless
minority.

UNEDUcATED MULES
How They and UnskiIIed Packers
Brought Disaster to the Brit
ish in south Africa.


The fact that the loss Of two crack
British regiments and battery of ar
tillery at Ladysmith, the other day,
was directly attributable to the STAN
pede Of the ammunition pack mules
strongly emphasizes a remark that has
been made repeatedly during the past
few weeks by the stockmen of this
city.
The English officers are shipping
some first-rate mules to South Africa. ("
has been the general comment among
experts, ''but they'll be no use for pack
ing until they are thoroughly trained
The Importance Of a first-class pack
train in such a campaign as the British
are now undertaking in the Transvaal
can hardly be over-estimated. 1t is
impossible to use wagons to any ex-
tent over the traekless yeldt, and the
army must depend on its mules to
carry its provisions, ifs ammunition, its
machine guns, its light artillery and
the major part Of its camp equipment. \
Withoutits pack train a regiment would
be in very much the position of man
who had a match but no cigar.
In order TO pack" properly mule
requires a special education, and there
in lies the source of no end Of prospect
i've trouble in the Transvaal. Up to date
the British officers who have been max I
ing their headquarters in New Orleans
have bought and shipped upward OF
1000 mules. The specifications call for
small, active animals, sound in wind /
andlimb, and weighing between 500 and
900 pounds, and they have been culled
from droves in all parts of the coun-
try. They came from northern Illinois
and southwestern Texas and all the in
termediate region. As far as answering
the stipulated requirement, they were
an exceptionally satisfactory lot. but,
unfortunately, there was no education
al qualification, and in the language of
stockmen, they were green" 1t is
doubtful whether one in a hundred ever
saw such thing as pack.
An effort was made to remedy this DIFF
iculty by engaging a rUmber of ex-
pert American packers and sending
hem over with the different consigD-
nents to break the animals upon their
arrival in South Africa, but much to
he regret Of the officers very few could

A NEW LAW FIRM.
James II. Akin and Judge Denison
Form a Partnership.

Hon. George B. Denison anC
James III. Akin, have formed a Co

in addition to the Office here, in
the Gray-Halsell building, they
will open an Office at Galena, Kan,
As they go into new field, it
may not be amiss to give synop-

Akin was admitted in the Su-
preme court of the Cherokee ma
tion in 1881, and has had a very
successful practice in the Cherokee
courts ever since, until they we're
abolished under the "Curtis Actn
at which time be, in all probabil-
ity represented more litigants than
any other attorney practicing be-
fore those courts.
In 1889, he was admitted in the
u. S. court for the Western district
of Arkansas and also in the q. S.
court in and for the Ind. Ter. 1t
was for him to raise the first "da-
beas Corpus" question in a MUIR
der case, for Cherokee Indian.
This was the Talton case, and
many were the conjectures as to
the right to do so at this time, the
Cherokee nation, for more than
fifty years, having claimed and
held exclusive final jurisdiction
over its citizens and no appeal
had ever been granted any one
from the tribal court in
case. Nor had any such
case ever been reviewed by su-
perior court. Hon. Isaac G. Park
er, judge Of the U. 5. court at Ft.
Smith, passed upon the case and
decided it adversely, and it was
promptly appealed to the U. S.
Supreme court.
Following close upon the Talton
decision, Ball Christie and Jim
weregconvicted and SEN
fenced to be hanged. Akin's pop
llarity had reached it's zenith and
he was sent for and employed in
