Our Sturdy Country Boys.

There is no question of the influence
which the sturdy outdoor life has upon
country boys; and the fact that the life
is harnessed to regular, imperative du-
ties is to the boys advantage. He is
developed gradually and healthily, his
mind following his physical strength
rather than the reverse. And around
him, for his everyday observation and
study, are the very best object lessons
possible for a boys developing life.
He associates familiarly with nature
during his work and recreation; and
even during his sleep, the air which en-
tiers his open chamber window is laden
with the odors of apple blossoms, or
the harvest season, or, perhaps, is the
pure, stimulating atmosphere of the
white, unduiating winter fields. But it
all goes toward making him stronger,
sturdier, more self-reliant, more am
bilious, more observing. He is healthy
all through, physically, mentally, NOR
ally.-Farm Journal.

Remedy for Duck Cholera

Mix up a batch of Douglass mixture
and use, according to following di:ec-
tons. 1t is one of the best poultry
tonics: Dissolve one pound of cop
peras (sulphate of iron) in two gal
Ions water, and add one ounce sui
phuric acid. The latter must be care
fully handled, as it is dangerous poi
son. The dose of the mixture is one
teaspoonful to each quart of drink
ing water. Do not use except in cases
of disease, or when it is threatened.
Good in cases of roup and cholera and
as a disinfectant. Keep the ducks in a
well sheltered place; don't allow them
to get wet. Feed clean grain and plen-
ty of green grass.-Ohio Farmer.

SHEEP ON THE FARM.

cause of Their FOndness for
Young Sprouts and Weeds.

The sheep is among the most use
full and valuable of domestic animals,
being producer of wool used for
clothing and other purposes, and of
wholesome meat. But the sheep also
is of large value on the farm because
of his fondness for young sprouts and
weeds.
According to an authority there are
nearly 600 varieties of known weeds.
of which sheep will eat SIS kinds, while
horses, cattle and hogs will eat but a
few varieties. 1t is apparent that
every farmer could well afford to raise
few sheep if for no purpose other
than the destruction of weeds.
Weeds increase in numbers and W.
rieties as the country grows older.
They are found most abundantly in
the old countries of Europe. Their
steady increase in this country de-
mands that farmers should raise sheep
as among other means looking to
their determination.
By all means get two or three ewes
already bred and give them the run
of that foul pasture. Increase the
flock by breeding and purchase if adj
visable, until the number is sufficient
to keep down the weeds on a given
area.
No farm is properly equipped with
out sheep.-Farmers' Voice.

Mistaken for a Tram

Appearances are often deceitful AID
even monarchs may be mistaken for
paupers. 1t is related that once. not
long since, when King Edward of Eng
land was prince of Wales. he was
staying with Leopold Rothschild near
Leighton Buzzard and followed the
hunt one day. About lunch time he
found himself alone near Berkbam-
sted, feeling very hungry and without
immediate prospect of getting any
food. Recollecting, however. that the
Smith Dorriens' place, Haresfoot. was
somewhere within easy reach. he rode
over, found the house and rang the
front aoor bell. A footman appeared.
Twill you kindly tell your master that
the prince of Wales is outside and
would like some lunch?" he said.
"Walker!" answered the man and
banged the door in his face.-N. Y.

Stand by Their Contracts.

Chicago, Aug. 13.-There will be no
strike by the members of the ATnalga-
mated Association at the Illinois steel
works in South Chicago. The men
claim that in justice to themselves and
the Illinois Steel Company, they are
compelled to disregard the order OF
President Shaffer, as they have nc
grievances, and have contracts signed
that will not expire for another year.
Milwaulzee.-The sentiment of the
steel workers lodge here is against
striking.
Allusion was made to the friendly
relations existing between the Illinois
Steel Company and its employees, and
strong emphasis was laid upon the
wage scale just agreed to by The com
pany, which provides for an increase OF
5 per cent in wages dating back to July
1.
1t was shown that if they decided not
to work the company would be justified
in Withholding this extra money on
the ground that the provisions of the
contract under which it became due
had been broken.

I'M. FEDERATION OF LABOR
Pledges Moral and Financial Sup
port to Steel Workers.
McKEESPoRT WILL SUFFER.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 12--An impOr-
tant development in the strike situation
was the peremptory order to dismantle
the Devices Wood plant at McKeesport,
and its removal to the Kiskiminetas val
! ley.
The steel officials declined to give any
reason for the order, but it is openly
stated here that the pronounced sympa-
thy of citizens and city officials at Nc
Keesport is responsible for it. It is also
said that the plant of the National Tube
company at McKeesport will be aban-
! doned.
The Devices Wood plant was founded
about forty years ago, and is one of the
best known plants in Pennsylvania. It's
ii acres it has employed 1 200 men at its
busiest times and its cost is placed at
So, OOO, 900 by officials of the steel cor
poration.
President Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor, after a two days
conference with President Shaffer and
his associates, issued formal statement
specifically pledging the Federation to
the moral and financial support of the
Amalgamated association. His written
view of the train of events leading up
to industrial quarrel sustains the course
of the Amalgamated association and de-
clares that nothing remains for labor
but to battle for the cause of unionism.
President Gompers would not say just
to do, or in fact anything beyond what
was contained in the written statement
issued by him. It is presumed. how
ever, that all of the Federation men en-
gagged in the iron and steel trades will
be called out at the request of the Anal
gamated men.

Buffalo, N Y, July 3o-A joint

ing some means for correcting so far
as possible the impression that ap-

railway rates to the Pan-American Ex-

In Buffalo are excessive. The confer
ence revealed the fact that Buffalo can
accommodate two hundred thousand

to two dollars per night, and that no
one need pay more than one dollar
for f1rst-class lodging in a private

subjected to great discomfort, are re-

is concerned, and this is quoted as
showing what might be done The
passenger agents assert that the pres

as it gives too short time for anyone
to see the big exposition, but it has
not yet been modified. Other points
which the representatives of the pub
fishers association will lay stress
upon are that the Exposition is com
pleted in all details and that both
Buffalo and the Exposition are we'll
policed and as free from dangerous
characters as any city in the country.
A joint committee was appointed to
deal with questions affecting the Elk
