A Familv Crisis Ayerteo.

A New York man, whose business
keeps him down town very late at
night. and whose wife does not sit up
for him, received a present of some
very fine writing paper, says the Times,
and it occurred to him that, inasmuch
as he would not have the opportunity
of showing it TO his wife until the next
morning. it would be a good joke TO
write her a note 1t was a great
scheme, and he took much pleasure in
it.
But the next morning his wife receiv-
ed the letter with conflicting emotions.
She turned it over and over. What
could her husbaud-at that moment up
stairs, sleeping the sleep of the just
have to say that he could not say by
word of mouth? 1t certainly was very
mysterious.
Could it be?-yes, she remembered
now, they had had little discussion
the other day in which they were not Of
the same opinion. Poor, dear boy! 1t
must be that that little matter had ran
kled in his mind all this time. Well.
she would open the letter and see. And
this is what she read:
"Liebe Frau: What do you think of
this for letter-paper? Yours"

obtained more milk from cows kept in

the day and let out to Craze at night
than they did from those in pasture all
day and in stable at night. Similar re-
suits have been obtained by the spray

the flies, but most of these repellants
have an odor that fills the air in the

1t is claimed that the United States
produces about four-ffths of the corn
crop in the world. or in 1900 it produced
2,105, 102, 516 bushels out of the total
in the entire corn-growing countries.
which was only 2,631 ,3TS. 14J bushels.
If there is any underestimate in the
amount it is more likely to be in the
United States, where also more corn is
consumed in feeding to animals than
In the other countries, and where the
census enumerator says that the re-
ports Of the amounts grown and used
upon the farms will scarcely account
for the meats that are reported and
sold. Austria Hungary reports only
142, 100000 bushels and Mexico but
III. 104 ,93S bushels, while the seven
other countries reporting vary from So
100000 down to 20.0O0,OOO bushels.
and only aggregate 292.0O0,0OO bushels.
All of them do not produce as much
corn as the States of Illinois and Iowa.

list of the producing countries. pro-
duced less in 1900 than the State of In

LAW BAN on PICKETS.
UNION MEN ENJOINED FROM
ACTING AS SENTiNELS.
Restraining Order Taken Against the
Striking Machinists by a Chicago
Firm-Action Commented Upon by

For the first time in Chicago since the
famous Debs injunction during the great
strike of the American Railway Union a
similar writ was issued Friday by a fed
eral judge, preventing the strikers from
interfering with the operation of bust
ness.
Judge kohlsaat, sitting in the United
States District Court, issued an inJunc-
ton against the strikers who are carry
ing on the war against certain Chicago
machine manufacturers. The writ was
issued at the request of W. j. Calhoun,
of the firm of Pam, Calhoun x Glennon,
representing the Allis-Chalmers Com
pany.
This writ is to remain effective until
the court has opportunity to decide
whether il should be made permanent.
Judge KOhlsaat will set = date for the
hearing of arguments on this point. The
injunction is directed against the Ma
tional Association of Ironworkers, the
Iron MolderS of North America, the Pat
tern-Makers' Association and the various
officers and members of those organiza-
tons.
The motion for an injunction as pre-

joined from "a continuous and persistent
picketing of the shops ana plant of the
Allis-Chalmers Company, accompanied by
the incidental smuggling of nOnuniOn em-
ployes and otherwise interfering with the
operation of the .company's plant"
This is the first time in Chicago that
the federal courts have been appealed to
since the big Debs strike" said w. j.
Chalmers. THE reason we appealed to
Judge Kohlsaat is because we cannot get
protection in justice courts. Politics
seems to be intrenched behind justice
court cases, and the assaulting or intini-
dation of strikers are not taken care of
as they should be, in fact they are pro-
tected. Yesterday FIVE men were beaten
at the Allis-ChalmerS plant. Hardly q
day passes that men are not Knocked
down and beaten up there. In view Of
these facts, we could see no other thing
to do but to appeal to the court of high

land of the machinists. They have been
threatening it for a long time, but, in my
estimation, the plea for an injunction is
confession of weakness on their part.
The courts have been closed to US dur
ing the Importation of men here because
we had not enough money to pay an at
torney to request an injunction restrain
ing the bringing in of men, and thus test
ing the validity of the law. Wen have
to do :he best we can to continue the
fight if the court rules against picketing."

10 have the animals look plump and
sleek they give more than can be well
digested, and sometimes defeat their
own intentions by causing such indiges-
ton that the horse grows lean, if he is
not wise enough to refuse to eat all
that is placed before him. Nor are the
owners always guiltless in this matter.
Farmers especially are apt to feed too
much hay to the horse, giving thirty to
forty pounds in twenU-four hours,
when from twelve to twenty pounds is
enough for horses of almost any weight
when there is enough of grain given.
And many will not reduce either hay or
grain rations when there is a week or
two of idleness. This is a mistake, but
not as bad as that of largely increasing
the grain feed when there is an extra
amount Of work 10 be done, or long
drive 10 be made. The veterinary sur
ge0ns say that most of the cases they
are called upon to prescribe for are the
results of overfeeding, or feeding after

NoAH's ARK A MODERN SHIP.
Proof that the Shipbuildiug Industry
FIourished Before His Time.


Another popular notion has been up
set For centuries it has been supposed
that Father Noah was the first ship
builder of the world and that the ark
in which he saved his family from
drowning was the first vessel that
"plowed the raging main" This suppl
sition has been found to be erroneous,
for there exist paintings of Egyptian
vessels immensely older than the date
2S40 B. c., usually assigned to the ark,
being. indeed, probably between seven
ty and eighty centuries old. Moreover,
there are now in existence in Egypt
boats which were built about the period
the ark was constructed. These Gre,
however, small craft, about thirty-three
feet long, seven feet or eight feet wide,
and two and half feet to three feet
deep. They were discovered six years
ago by the eminent French EgyptolO-
gist, NJ. j. De Morgan, in brick vaults
near Cairo and were probably funeral
boats.
They are constructed Of three-inch
acacia and sycamore planks, dOvetailed
together and fastened with trenails.
They have floors but no ribs, and
though nearly 5000 years old they held
together after their supports had been
removed. These boats may be eonsid-
cred side by side with the better
known. but much more modern, viking
ship, which is now to be seen in a shed
at ChriStiaEa. This craft was discov-
cred IN 1880 in a funeral mound. so that
we owe both these existing examples
Of extremely ancient ships 10 the funer-
n customs of countries so dissimilar as
Egypt and Norway.

BATTLING with Xerui1.

Fowls are on the range most of the
time, but this does not prevent them
from being bothered with vermin at
night and during the time they are oc-
cupying the nest boxes. This vermin,
once on the fowls, stays there, and
makes the bird miserable during the
day, even when on the range. White
wash is, Of course, desirable, but there
is more efficacy in kerosene oil liber-
ally applied to floor. walls and rOosts.
The nest boxes should be literally
sprinkled with some good insect pow
der, and a considerable quantity of
wood ashes be placed in the busting
boxes as we'll as in the favOrite dust
ing places of the fowls out-of-doors.

Best Time to Freshen Cows,

There is no room for further discus
sion of the question as to whether it is
more profitable to have cows freshen III
the spring or in the fall, says Hoards
Dairyman. 1t has been tried too often
and under too widely differing condi-
tons, and without exception, so far as
we are advised, the COW that freshens
in the fall will yield more milk in
twelve months. and the milk and it's
products are worth more money. The
best plan of all probably is to have
COWS freshen at different times in the
year-say three-fourths of them from
September to January and the others
at intervals throughout the balance Of
the year.
