BACK TO SHEEP.
Old Farmers Say There Is No Good
Farming Without Them,

Many of US old farmers have come
back to sheep after giving them up for
few years, convinced then that there
was no money in them, but sure now
that there is really no good farming
without sheep
/ do not mean that we have given up
other branches of farming to become
sheepmen, but have gradually added a
few more sheep to the flock each year
until now most farmers are shepherds
of pretty fair Importance.
There is no animal better suited to
the general farmers purposes than the
sheep. Our early settlers raised few
sheep for their wool so that the home
spinning could be carried on by the
housewife during the long winter
months. Sheep then were considered
absolutely necessary, and few ever
thought of getting along without the
flock
1t was after the home spinning went
out of fashion and costly machinery
was erected to do all this work for the
farmer that sheep raising as a profess
sion started in. Then a good many of
us gave up nearly all other branches of
farming and tried to get rich in raising
wool The tlocks steadily increased in
numbers and size, and of course the
whole business was overdone. There
came time when there was a surplus
of sheep and WOOL and many lost mon
ey. The reaction which followed set
many against sheep, and there are
some who cannot be induced to own
flock because of their i'll luck.
Nevertheless feel convinced that we
are all coming back to the sheep not on
large scale, but as a necessary part of
all good farming. writes an Illinois
farmer in American Cultivator.
Whether think of woman as a grand
mother, a mother, wife, a sweetheart
or even a little girl who by and by win
bear all these titles in succession | be-
lieve that men ought to spend most of
their spare time in strewing with flowers
the ground upon which n woman is about
to tread.-Max O'Rel.

The Republicans are again feeling

The readers of the Nonconformlst

dlcted more than two months ago ex-
actly what has come to pass-lt said
that the FilIpinos would not fight dur
ing the dry season-that they would
Dury their guns and become peaceful
"amlgos'-that our armies would over
run the Islands without resistance
and would rarely find "rebel" in
that the campaign would be a

side would be hurt.
But we said farther that when tho

country was covered with mud and
enveloped in rain and mlst-when our
army could not move without sticking
In the mire, that then the natives
would dig up their Mausers, and tho

A Deal In Iron.

A company Of Chicago capitalists in
1898 organized what Is known as the
Champion Iron and Steel company Of
Muskegon, Mich. This company was
to buy and operate an iron plant at
Muskegon which had been built sew
eral years ago. This field was found
to be too small to conhne their work
entirely to the iron industry and the
directors decided to add to II a tin
plate mill. AS soon as this fact became
known the tinplate trust began active
operations against the industry. The
new company increased their working
force and reduced prices to meet the
trust until the trust became fright
ened. and now trade has been effect
ed. The trust couldn't frighten or
freeze out the new company, so they
buy them. The trust gives 100000
for a plant In which the investment
is 100000, giving the Champion
profit Of 100000, besides very pros
porous business during eight or twelve
months. This is good place to ask
IL this is a good trust. Does this COM
blno favor all thu people? Who will

Dletlclans assert that when meat Is
properly stewed the highest nutrition
Is secured, the palate is satisfied and
tho minimum demand Is made upon
tho purse, since the best stew cuts
come from the neck, shoulders and
breast, the neck being the juiclest and
cheapest part OF the animal. For cook
ing stews the first, most important rule
Is to seal up the pores Of the meat and
thus prevent the escape Of the juices.
This is accomplished by plunglng the
meat into boiling water and keeping
II at that temperature for ten minutes
but no longer After that 1t should be
allowed to slowly simmer. In boiling
beef as little water as possible should
be used, and as the meat must be COM
pletely covered at first, as small a pot
rs will accommodate 1t Is recommend
ed, as II will afford less room for water
than large one. The length of time
required for the stewing depends con-
slderably upon the size OF the piece
of meat. II large lump, about four
hours OF simmerlng will be necessary
to carry 1t to the point where 1t Is Just
ready to fall apart, as 1t should be
when served. II divided into small
pieces less time will be consumed In
the cooking,
Any Of the vegetables may be added
to the stew, potatoes, onions, carrots,
turnlps, parsley, celery, tomatoes, etc,
and herbs such as summer savory,
marjoram and bay leaf make a well
come addition. Some cooks use carry
and spices.
To get rid Of the grease in a stew
gravy, 1t is we'll to allow time to COM
plete the cooking long enough before
the hour of serving to permit the
liquor in which the meat was cooked
to cool after being poured off. This
will bring all grease to the surface in
such d coagulated form that 1t can all
be removed. The liquor can then be
reheated and the gravy made. When
1t is impossible to do this, careful
skimming with spoon and piece Of
blotting or straw paper will take OH
most of the oil.

The rubber industry has new trust.
The Western Rubber Boot and Shoe
company of Chicago was incorporated
In Trenton. N, j., this month with q
capital stock Of 81 100000 and with the
privilege of making 1t $5OOO,OOO, This
company is incorporated to compete
with the great rubber trust. This
means It wants to sell and takes this
method to get bonus from the trust,
and If 1t will cut prices and work like
thunder for few months they can do
as the Champion Iron and Steel COM
pany Of Michigan-get two prices for
their business and retire and live in
luxury on what the trust has stolen
from the people, This is a great coun-
try-great for able "hnanciers."

In Boys Attire.

There are many sensible mothers In
these so-called degenerate times who
realize more fully than our grand
mothers did the value Of childish ac-
tlvitles and who are disposed to allow
their girls as we'll as their boys
larger measure Of freedom than the
"old-fashioned girl" enjoyed.
II anything, city mothers are more
liberal In this direction than country
women At the summer resorts pat
ronized by townspeople 1t Is no un-
common sight to see girls as we'll as
boys arrayed in jumpers, and though
we have seen many old ladies who
could remember when 1t was consld-
cred immodest for women to wear
drawers because 1t suggested mascu-
Unity, shake their heads over those
tom-boys," emulatlng their brothers
In tree climbing and other boyish
sports, the rosy cheeks Of those same
"tom-boys," to say nothing Of other
evidences OF health and vlgor surely
justified the innovation.
During the snowy seasons in winter
there ia even greater reason to favor
such a costume. What normal child
can resist the invitation Of the snow,
that tempting plaything? And the
deeper the snow, the greater the sport,
But under such circumstances petit
coats that soon become crusted with
snow and dangle heavily around the
little ankles are not only n nuisance,
but n menace to health. The girl
should be dressed like her brother In
trousers tucked into a pair of rubber
boots. Then she will be prepared to
thoroughly enjoy herself without run
ming the risk Of catching cold from
wet feet or damp skirts 1t Is surely
better for the conventonalltles to
suffer than for the child to do so,-

The GlnSa Industry.

The city of Philadelphia is now la
boring hard to produce a new infant.
A glassware trust is "a-bornln'" in
that city. Representatives from all
glass factories are In session trying to
perfect arrangements to form one gem
eral glass trust, which will include
every line Of goods in the glass bus-
ness, They want to stop the cutting
OF prices and establish a uniform scale
of wages. The capital so far interest
ed in this represents $2O,OOO,OOO, and
when completed $5O,OOO,OOO more will
be represented, This industry is not
so much of an infant as some might
imagine. 1t Is a good thlng-push It
along. 1t will be a step in the line
OF march for the universal trust.

Nonsense, Lieutenant" came the

didn't believe you, John, because you
told the truth"
Betty entreated John to 60 at once
and bring her pet up, but John said
no, for more soldiers might be follow
Ing that first battalion. So Betty put
on her bonnet and took a piece OF
bread and went to visit Beauty in her
exile.
More soldiers did follow that day,
and after a time the patriots rode by.
Then the tumult ceased, and Beauty
was brought back to her own pasture
and her bed in the barn.

truthY" said Mrs, Randall.

II suppose even II Beauty had been
taken | would be comforted because |

II seems too good to be true"

the horsemen rode through, crying
CORVALLIS Is taken!" And so the
soldiers ceased to march, and Beauty
lived In safety and peace to the end
of her days,-Chrlstian Standard.

Tho Tobacco Trust,

The tobacco trust can smile when
the SNUFF dlppers sneeze. The differ
ent snuf concerns are all brought un-
der the protecting wing Of the tobacco
trust This Is one Of the small favors
the people conferred upon the tobacco
trust In the closing year OF the nine
teenth century,
The tobacco trust gained control Of
the sneezing business In 1900 and In
1901 they are still after the dear peo-
pie. The people need a further pro-
lection which this trust can give, and
the American and Continental tobacco
trust have ten millions OF honest
money they are willing to invest to
give this protection. The cigarette
business is entirely controlled by the
trust, and this new move Is to control
the cigar business. No doubt but what
the trust will control this line of in
dustry. When this deal Is consum-
mated what will be the fate of the
small cigar factory? In these small
concerns many people are employed
and make for themselves and their
employers an honest living. The trust
will furnish the market with goods at
such wholesale rates that the small
factory will be starved out. After this
work is well done the trust magnates
will declare a certain dividend and
place the price so as to yield 1t. The
tobacco habit is so firmly fixed upon
this generation that they will pay any
tribute in order to obtain the luxury.
And so the trust goes merrily on.
