small farm or where the system Of
mixed husbandry is practiced. Many
opportunities will be presented during
the year where it can be used advan-
tageously in dividing pastures or for
combining sheep upon certain portions
Of field. 1t will be found invaluable
as quick method for constructing
pens either 'arge or small. at shearing
time or for docking, tagging or dip
ping. In the winter season these hur.
dies are great convenience for inclos-
ing feeding yards, lots for exercise and
small plats, for subdivisions of the
flock.
In the figure is shown a view of the
hurdle in place, with a pair of sup
ports. The panel is made of four / by
8 inch plank IL feet long, crossed by
three pieces Of the same size and three
feet long, one being placed in the mid
die and the others six inches from the
ends. The spaces between the planks,
beginning at the bottom, are 6, and
10 inches. The braces which are cross
ed for the supports are feet long and
by 3 inches in size. The sill is of
by 6 inch stuff, the lower edge being
8 feet So inches long and the upper 3
feet 1O1@ inches long, with notch at
the middle inches deep and 21a inches
wide for the ends of the panels to rest
In. The braces should extend an inch
or more below the sill to prevent the
hurdle from rocking. In use each of
these supports serves to hold up as
we'll as to join together the ends of
two succeeding panels. To prevent the
fence from being blown over a stake
should be driven about every SO feet,
to which the hurdle should be wired
down.

sHENG TAoTA1.
director Of Chinese telegraphs

~ +
explain the a,aet.atcy Of Director
! Sheng, whose otfisisi' title indicates
that hesis fdere!y 4 minor official of the
Chinese government. It. John Menier,
an ex-official of the Chinese govern
ment, in MINNEAPOLIS on his way to
England, was asked for light on the
subject. It las bean repeatedly dem
onstrated thas3no sort Of business can
be carried on with tie 4 Chinese govern
ment except through the mediation of
Sheng.
"Sheng," said Mr.. Hill, sis the whole
thing. Officially speaking he is nobody,
but actually Shengi is; the boss of China.
When the European or American seek
er after a Chinese concession is look
ing for channel Though which, to
steer his proposition, he is directed to
Sheng. Sheng is tie stakeholder, the
go between. No;rnportauts deal can be
put into effect except through Sheng.
He is not only the director of tele-
graphs and railways, but the head of
the Imperial Bank: of China and of
the China Merchants Steamship COM
panys He is shrewdncsS personified-
q most influential man, whose edicts
are followed more faithfully than those
of the empress. Sheng is as bold as
he is shrewd. The telegraph system Is
absolutely under his control. None but
the Chinese know anything of the ex-
tent of that system. AS matter of
fact, while it is generally supposed that
! there are very few wires. and these
connecting only the most important
points. the country is honeycombed
with wires. 1t is not to be doubted
that Sheng knows what is going on
everywhere"
St. John Meaie !. nephew of Louis
Menier. the cllolS te man, arrived IN
Minneapolis the other day. He is
going to England until the troubles
blow over. Mr.. Menier met Mr.. Con-
ger a year ago in southern Chilli with
members of his family. He regarded
the American minister as benign in
dividual, altogether too unsuspecting
eor official residence amid the intrigue
of Picking. Mr.. Menier is mining en-
gineer. Up to year ago he was Off
cially associated with Chang-Yi, the
director Of mines for the province of
Chill.
Chang-Yi is a warm favorite of the
empress dowager, whom Mr.. Menier
has never seen, and Chang-Yi told
lMenier nearly is months ago that he
had better go to Europe in December,
1899. When pressed for reason, the
Chinese official fell back on quotations
Of philosophical nature. He evaded
stating his reasons for warning Menier
out Of the country, and the latter re-
fused to relinquish his position. In
October last Chang calmly informed
the engineer that his services would
be dispensed with, and added that if
he had any regard for his skin he had
better clear out. AT that time there
were no signs of disorder, but Mr..
y Menier realized that some sort of gov
ernmental coup was projected, and he
proceeded to the home of his brother,
who is also mining engineer in
Shangtung The brother and his family
4 refused to believe that there was
anything wrong, and they are still in
IShangtung. Mr.. Menier Is very anx-
lious about them.

Inducements to Russian Settlers.

The cheapest railway rate next to
the pass" is the emigrant fare from
Russia to Siberia, says the Indianapo-
lis News. To induce peasants to settle
in the eastern districts of Siberia the
Russian railways have issued tickets,
good for family of any size, from any
part of European Russia to Tobolsk at
2 rubles. From Tobolsk to any part
east as far as Vladiyostok or Port Ar
thur the price is AZ rubles. Hence for
not quite Z rubles, or about $3.50, a
whole settlers family can travel about
1000 miles.

Numerous observations prove that
the use of tobacco is potent cause of
disease Of the eye. Total blindness
from degeneration of the optic nerve
has been traced to this cause. Recent
observations point to tobacco and alco-

Something to ThInk About

Thomas w. Jones. private in troop
q, 18th cavalry L. S. V, writing from
Santa Cruz. Philippine islands, to his
brother, George Jones, in Washington,
ID. c., under date of June %. de-
scri bes a massacre of FIlipinos in
which he took part June %, and which
he relates as quite in the line of mis-
ordinary duties. He tells how 90
mem bers of his regiment were or
dered out to kill or capture famous
Filipino general, known to be living
in the neighborhood. After some
rough scouting the generals house
was located and the Americans crawled
through the underbrush until they Sc
cured positions but a few yards dis
tant. Then they discovered they had
unwittingly CHANGED upon a wedding.
There was large crowd present to
take part in the festivities. Most of
them. of course, were women and
children, but there were about IS men
present who were armed. The Amer
leans were ordered TO tire volley from
am bush and then charge, which they
did with terri BILE results.
The scene that resulted was horri-
ble," writes Private Jones. "On the
ground near the house lay the body of
the bride, whose brains had been
blown out. The groom, who had re-
ceived bullet in the stomach, was
lying near by in dying condition.
Twelve Of the Filipinos had been killed
and about the same mum Der wounded.
An elderly woman was shot through
the leg and little child had her arm
shot off. But" adds Private Jones,
cheerfullv, 1--WE got the old general all
right and we burned the insurgents
quarters before we left"
This is the kind of imperial civiliza-
tion this administration is paternally
bringing to the FiliPinos, and probably
Jones' letter is not an unfair descrip-
ton of the sort of warfare this great
government is waging against these
far away islanders (whose only crime
is their love of liberty in furtherance

victories in the Spanish war

anything else for indigestion or bill
