 And it is these fraudulent proceedings for the purposes of selfish gain that leads senator of the United States to rise in his place and make opposition to the plea of justice to Alaska.

The woman who was so sadly burned al Bennett was not Mrs. Faulkner. as report ed, but Miss Francis, very pretty girl of eighteen who was taking care of her two younger brothers while her mother was cooking at Log Cabin for railroad boss Barney McGee.
 The girl got up in the night to light a fire, presumably with kerosene, when her robe gnited and she was terribly burned. Dr. Nicholson, the railroad doctor, is at her, and her recovery is said to be douDt- ful

SUBSTITUTE FOR HAY.
Past Experience Has Demonstrated
That Corn Can BE Used with
Excellent Results,

The experience of last summer, so
far as the hay crop was concerned,
ought to put farmers on their guard
to avoid a like result this year. 10
the man whose experience in growing
forage crops is limited, corn should be
the crop on which to bank, not only
for needed summer fodder, but to har-
vest as substitute for hay, if needed.
The soil should be we'll fitted and en-
riched, and the seed of the variety Sc
lected drilled in SO that it may be
dropped in three rows at time. Guilt
vate in the usual way, and that portion
not used as green food during the sum-
mer should be harvested before frost in
the fall. If well cut, cured and housed,
this corn slower will make an excellent
substitute for hay if properly manip-
ulated before being fed. Vast guam
titles Of corn fodder are yearly ruined
by being left in the field cut and uncut
during heavy frosts that,take much of
it's nutriment. If silo is not on the
farm, store the corn stalks under cover
after curing, and when about to feed,
cut in a machine that will split the
stalks as we'll as cut them. Moisten the
fodder with ground grain and all of
the stock, even the horses, will thrive
upon it.-Prairie Farmer.

BEST ARE THE CHEAPEST.
Why Pure-Bred Animals, Are More
Profitable to the Average FARM
eF Than Scrubs.

It does not cost any more TO raise
pure-bred stock than half-breeds and
inferior scrubs. The only difference in
the cost is the initial purchase. The
pure-bred naturally costs more than
the inferior animal, but in the end one
such animal may prove cheaper than
three or four scrubs. The farmer who
starts in with the idea and buys only
little blooded stock as he can afford
it, increasing his herd gradually, may
find in the end that he is in much bet
ter position than his nieghbor who
buys any sort of cattle simply because
they are cheap. The reason why more
do not start in with the idea is because
they have the erroneous belief that it
costs more to maintain the blooded
stock. This is not true at all, for the
fine cattle do not require more food nor
better surroundings than should be
given to any farm animal that is worth
anything. If the farmers style of keep
ing cattle is to neglect them and let
them practically shift for themselves
the scrub stock may be better suited to
his purpose, for the haf-wild animals
are undoubtedly harder than the we'll
bred ones, and they will be able to pick
up living much better on q cold,
cherries and almost foodless range.
But where the animals are kept care
fully according to modern ideas of cat
tle-raising, with sufficient food to nour-
ish them, and proper shelter and pro-
lection, the blooded animals are just as
cheap to support as the poorest scrub.
This being the case no farmer can feel
that he is not able to keep few and, in
time, to substitute them entirely for
his inferior cows, pigs, sheep and cat
tie. Let him begin wedding out gra3u-
ally all the poorest OF his flock, and
make every addition be of the pure
bred animals. 1t is better to do this,
even if only one or two can be pur-
chased year. The flock will increase
in the natural way and as it multiplies
the owner will realize that he possesses
something that marks the cream of the
trade. Every animal that he brings
into the world has it's price, and price
that fuctuates much less than that
given for inferior stock. Such we'll
bred stock can always be sold. There
is scarcely herd of good pigs, COWS or
sheep that cannot find good customer
even in the midst of dull and depressed
times. This is the financial difference
in the returns of the two herds. One
adds to uncertain and varying income,
the other brings an assurance of GER
tain definite profits and values that
can be depended upon at all times. The
man of business sense can readily see
which will prove the most profitable to
him in the end.-Indiana Farmer.

COVER FOR HAYSTACK,

board up side by laying the studding
six feet apart and cutting the boards of
that length. When you have the two
sides boarded place the two ends of the
sections together. This will he the
apex of the cover. The two by fours
should have been left projecting few
inches in order to bolt the two sides
together at the apex. This cover will
form roof that will turn all storm and
preserve the hay as well as though
stored in barn. AS they are made in
sections of six feet each, only that
much of a stack need be cut down at a
time. In order to hold the covers firm
~ in place, bore an inch hole in the low
er ends of the two by tours and with a
piece of smooth wire or rope hang a
heavy weight to it, or stake it down to
the ground.
This cover will be found especially
useful in the spring of the year. Farm
ers all know the value of good hay to
working horses and also to stock even
when there is an abundance of green
feed. However, good hay is a scarce
article in the spring. If it has been un-
protected or exposed it is certain to be
musty and spoiled. And where a stack
is open to the spring rains it soon be-
comes unfit for use.-J. L. Irwin, in

BATTLES WITH LION IN CAGE
Trainer at Philadelphia Shoots an
Enraged Beast Before a.
Large Crowd.

epringing suddenly upon Ricardo, his
trainer, Wallace. the lion of the
"Anglo-American School of Zoology
at Woodside park, Philadelphia, caught
the man by the left arm and would
have killed him but for the prompt &C.
ton on the part of Ricardo and the at
tendants.
No exhibition had been given with
the lion since the show had come from
Chester several days ago. The heat
had irritated the big animal and had
made his ugly temper even worse than
it is ordinarily. He was FESTIVE and
hard to control. No one except Ricardo
would go near the brute.
Every afternoon the trainer en-
tered the cage to give Wallace his daily
exercise. Ricardo went into the cage
about four o'clock in the afternoon for
a drin with the lion. He had scarcely
entered when Wallace sprang at him
and caught him by the left arm below
the elbow. The lion bit him q second
time in the lower part of the arm.
AS he did so Ricardo sh OF at him with
the revolver which he was carrying in
his right hand. He missed. but the sh OF
scared the lion and he released the
trainer. Attendants Of the show, run
ming up, kept the big brute in one cor
ner of the cage while others dragged
Ricardo out through the door.
His left arm was lacerated and the
flesh torn from the bones. The arm
began to swell at once. and: Ricardo
was taken in hurry to the Presby-
terian hospital. After having the
wounds treated and dressed the trainer
returned to the show. Hundreds of ex-
cited people witnessed the attacks.

Electric Power for Farms.

Electric power has not been used
to any great extent in agriculture so
far, though it seems we'll adapted to
it. In Bavaria, however, an expert
ment is being made on a large scale,
by an association of farmers who are
building large power station for the
supply of electric power to the farms
near the village of Schaftersheim.
The power station is of the mixed
type, both water wheels and steam
engines being used in it for generat-
ing electric currents. The motors are
made very compact and simple, and,
of course, inclosed so that the enuuir-
ing farmland may not break them or
get his fingers nipped in them. Other
associations in other parts of Ger
many are awaiting the success of the
experiment with view to adopting
similar systems. It is estimated that
the power thus distributed will be far
more economical than steam or animal
power on the various farms, and far
more satisfactory.

THE BUSY FAIRIES.

'sWhen little children lie asleep
The fairies leave the sky,
And through the windows slyly Green
And touch each sleepy eye,
And or the little beds they sit,
And round the curly heads they nit
TIL rosy mornings nigh.
"When all the story telling's done
-. The fairies come to stay
And watch beside each little one
Till Dawn wakes up the day:
Where silvery beams OF moonlight
In happy dreams fair castles CLEAN.
While fairies watch away.
"And when the sky above Is blue
And when the sun Is high,
What do the little fairies do?-
They make our money fly!
The dollars that were hard to earn
They pile up In the yard to burn,
Or waste them on the sly.
''They make new gowns too old to use
And little trousers tear:
They touch the toes of little shoes
And presto! holes are there
They win away by spelling things
The money that much toiling brings
But leave US love to share!'

Warm Weather Shipments.

When live fowls are sent to market
during very warm weather the rule is
to save the expense by crowding as
many as possible in one coop. Water
is placed where only few can reach
it, while the food becomes mixed with
filth. When a coop of live fowls is
placed in u car every fowl sits perfectly
still while the car is in motion, making
no attempt to eat or drink; but if
plenty of drinking cups are provided,
and the birds have room enough in the
coop to move, the attendants will give
them water whenever the car stops.
There is always a loss in weight of
live fowls sent to market, but with
proper precautions and due regard
for the rights of the fowls much of
this loss at points of destination will
be avoided.-Farm and Fireside.

Gaining Control Of weeds.

The nearly obsolete practice of
summer following could be revived in
many instances with profit. We have
many noxious weeds that ripen seed
with grass, and therefore thrive in
meadows: If the weedy grass were
given back to the land by a summer
blowing fertility would be added, and
by summer cultivation the field could
often be made sufficiently clean to
permit a new seeding to take the
ground. I have found an early sum-
mer blowing and a rank midsummer
manurial crop a most effective means
in gaining control over some noxious
weeds. 1t was change in cultural
conditions they could not stand.-

Hay Fever Union Of Helieoland.

it lasts from May ~ to June 3. in
South Germany from May 20 to May

those physicians who usually send their
patients to the mountains or out into
the country, an association has been
formed after the pattern of the Amer
lean Hay Fever association, which has,
after careful consideration, selected the
island of Heligoland as the most suit
able resort for hay fever patients. The
society styles itself 1.-The Hay Fever
Union of Heligoland,' and has its head
quarters in Hanover. All possible in
formation concerning the ailment is
gathered and advice and other assist
ance to applicants is given free Of
charge. The union is rapidly spread
ing over all parts of the empire, par
ticularly in the northern and eastern
sections, where grass and grain grow

The Goat az q Shepherd

Sheep are too slow in their move
ments to suit goats, which cover more
ground in day and are more inclined
to herd in one bunch and less addict
ed to scattering. When few goats
are kept among sheep not herded, the
goats will often, for the sake of COM
pany, stay with the sheep. They are
useful in this connection, as goats al
most invariably come home at night
and sheep follow them in, thus often
avoiding the danger of having any of
the flock killed by dogs or wild ami
mails at night. Sheep and goats do not
interbreed and so can be allowed to
run together with impunity.-W. G..
Hughes, in Farm and Home.

GUN CARRIAGE CONTROVERSY.
Angton and Wilson Referred to
Board Of Ordnance.

The controversy on disappearing
gun carriages which was waged so
.fiercely between Gen. Miles and Gen.
Burlington. chief of ordnance, and
Gen: Wilson, army chief of engineers,
has been carried to the board or ord
nance and Notifications. Gen. Miles
in q communication to the secretary
Of war last October called. attention
to what he believed was q fatal and
costly error Of this government in
building so many expensive disappear
ing gun carriages as mounts for the
big guns of our coast defense. He
called attention to the practice of
foreign governments who maintain
similar Notifications. The disappear
ing gun carriage system was prac-
tically abandoned abroad. and he be-
lieved that this government is build
ing too many such types of mounts.
His position in the matter was COM
bated by Gen. Burlington and Gen.
Wilson, and a good deal of volumin-
GUS and somewhat spicy official cor
respondence was exchanged. j. The
fight came out in . hearing before a
senate subcommittee on appropria-
tions, which had charge OF the an
nual Notifications bill and there was
a threatened open rupture between
headquarters Of the army and the
, army ordnance office of the chief OF
engineers. The conflict was averted
by Secretary Root, who sent for the
officers and insisted that the contro-
versy should be conducted on strictly
technical lines.
The question raised by Gen. Miles
has now been referred to the board OF
ordnance and Notifications. of which
Gen. Miles is president and Gems. Will.
son and Burlington are members. The
impression prevails that the two lat
ter will agree with the main points
named by Gen. Miles and that the
board will sustain his original po'
sition.

Good Bedding for Horses.

A good way to keep horses clean in
the stable is to clean out all dirt, etc.,
and then cover the floor about three
or four inches thick with dry saw
dust, as far back in stall as the horse
usually stands, then cover the saw
dust with straw, or bedding that you
may use. The sawdust will absorb
the moisture and therefore make the
other bedding last longer in case it
is scarce. The sawdust should be re-
placed by fresh occasionally.
