HOW They Do In China,

In China liquids are sold by weight
and grain by measure. John buys
soup by the pound and cloth by the
foot. A Chinaman never puts his name
outside Of his shop, but paints instead
a motto or a list of his goods on his
vertical signboard. Some reassuring
remark is frequently added, such as
zone word hail." "a child two feet
high would not be cheated" Every
single article has TO be bargained for
and 1t IS usual for the customer to
take his own measure and scales with
him.
When you engage n servant or make
a bargain, 1t is not considered binding
until 'the fastening penny" has been
paid. Although his bad faith is notOri-
GUS In some matters, yet, to do him
justice, when once this coin has been
paid by you he Chlnaman, cody or
shopman will generally stick to his
bargain even If the result to him be

ing been pampered or starved, and
show that they have the qualities de-
sired, they will give good value re
ceivcd even at high prices.
The ewes should be selected from
those that are the deepest mixers, that
suckle their lambs the best and that
have dense fccccs for their own pro-
lection. The best mothers are invari-
ably among the leans when the lambs
are wcancd, and they should be chosen
by the record they have made as moth
ers, and not on points of style or
smoothncss. They are apt to vary in
quality of lambs raised from year to
year, and it is not always wise to re
ject a eve because of poor lambs one
year if she has good records for pre-
vious years, or a eve the first year if
she is known to be of Il good milking
family and appears all right.
The eve lambs to be kept for breed
ing should be fed literally from the
first with oats and the best pasturage.
This course insurcS good weight Of
body and fleece, and after the first year
it is hardly possible to check their
growth, as they will have the neces-
sary yigor to provide for themselves.
In a grade flock where lambs are to be
sold 20 the butcher uniformity is i'm

possible, but when necessary to change

fleece or form as the ewes or has good
qualities which they lack. If the ewes
are uniform, this is easier than when
they are a flock of mixed character.

Live Tree EencepOsts.

The best post for a wire fence at a
corner OF a field or on n bluff or in a
hollow is a live tree, says Alva Agee in
National Stockman. Fifteen years ago
| set out a few trees here and there
along rough land, and since then some
more have been set, and this Is much
cheaper and better than trying to get a
solid post set in rocky ground. In a
depression crossed by wire a tree Is
surer than an anchored post. | should
not want a great number Of trees along
the line on account of the extra amount
of shade. but it IS good idea 10 set
them wherever one sees that they will
serve a good purpose. Too often such
work is put off because the pay seems
far in the future, but the trees can be
used IN a very few years if the wire is
stapled to stake that is tied to the
tree.

Intelligent Swine Feeding.

Swine feeding should be just as clean
and wholesomely intelligent as that of
any other farm animal. The quality of
the food must indeed be considered.
Do not dump great quantities of refuse
in the pen and tken, if the animals
clean 1t all up, rest content with the
idea that they have made good pork
off food that cost you nothing. Some
times the pigs will eat a great
amount to find a very little nourish-
ment. Now. the pigs do need good
deal in quantity, but there must be
some quality also. If we feed them on
the husks, we must add grain or milk
or other good food in fair proportion to
give them the nourishment they re-
quire. We cannot expect to make good
pork or bacon out of leaves and the
barnyard rakings. If we could, pork
would go a good deal lower than 1t is
today, and farmers would be quickly
doubling their profits. Yet a little in
telligent feeding will enable us to dis
pose Of slops and other cheap foods to
advantage. 1t IS all in balancing the
ration, so we do not cheat ourselves by
trying to cheat the swine.

Cigars Are Right, and LETS.

1T is not always because a cigar Is
badly made that the wrapper curls up
and works Off" said a tobacco dealer.
1T Is often because right handed
man Is smoking a left handed cigar.
Sounds strange, hey? Well. a left
handed cigar is one rolled by the max
ers left hand, for all cigar makers
must be ambidexterous. \ piece OF
tobacco for wrapper is cut on the
bias and is rolled from left to right or
the filler. The other piece, for reasons
of economy, Is then used and must be
rolled the opposite way by the opera
tors other hand. Hence n smoker who
holds his cigar in his right hand some
times In twisting it about rubs the
wrapper the wrong way and unloOsens
it"-Philadelphia Times.

National Stockman how to rid mead

My experience with it has not been
very extensive, but sufficiently so to
admit of eradication. Use salt freely
on the patches and permit the live
stock to have free access thereto. a
strong saline solution has been very eff
fective, also the brine from the barrels
of picked meat The calamus cannot
stand the double effect of salt and
tramping by stock, so that in year or
so it will be difficult to find where the
matches once grew.

If n second child in the family comes
down with the same disease, which is
most sure to happen where there are 9TH
er children, the second patient can be
placed in the same room with the first
without crOwding or danger Of exhaust
ing the supply of fresh air, as would be
the case in small room. AS the eyes
are weak and affected by bright light the
light in the room should be rather sub

Is allowed to sit up, cup with q large

the eyes from the glare. The room and

carefully avoided. When | say warm, it
does not mean hot, and the patient should
not be kept so warm that he perspires,
but it is essential that the hands and feet
should not be allowed TO get cold. In the
sickroom, as in the nursery, the open fire
is, If possible, desirable as a means both
OF heating the room and OF assisting in
the ventilation.
As the rash begins to disappear the
fever also subsidies, and about the end OF

ROOM FOR SCHLEY COURT.
aayal officials Searching For One
Large Enough.

Large Enough.
The feeling is general at Washington
that Secretary Longs reception rooIn,
designated in the precept as the place
OF meeting for the Schley court of in
Qulry, will prove too small to accommo-
date all who not unreaSonably desire
TO attend, says the New York Post.
1t is convenient to the records and
other official papers which the court
might have occasion to consult, but
that is practically its only advantage,
and in anticipation that the court after
Its first meeting may wish more COM
modious quarters a search Is already
in progress for other available space.
There is a courtroom at the navy yard,
but that Is nearly three miles from the
department, and would necessitate q
long trip every day for the witnesses
ard every one else from the hotel end
of the town. The department library
has been suggested. but here the gal
lery in which ii Is proposed to perch
the press Is too far from the floor to
admit of easily hearing what Is going
on in the court proper. The old Cor
coran Art gallery was used by the
International Postal congress, but this
is the headquarters of the court Of
claims, and it IS feared that the ses-
sions OF the Schley tribunal may over
lap the date of the return Of the court
after recess and thus impede other
public business.
There is no doubt that whatever
room Is procured will be crowded.
The line OF inquiry taken by the
court will probably he far above the
heads Of most ordinary spectators. but
the demand for standing room will not
be abated by that consideration as long
as there are epaulets and gold but
tens to see.
THE GLASS OF FASHION,.
Fine tucking and accordion plating
are used extensively on handsome silk
petticoats.
Chinese and japanese embroideries
are well placed upon waists of dark
blue, poppy read or beige colored silk.
\ large monogram embroidered on
the back of a glove or at the top Of

sleeves is a recent fad.
Fashion prophets say that feathers
ere 10 be worn more than over the
