prince of the Servians and who began
his life as simple hog dealer. The
title Of hog dealer would have been
more honorable for Milosh than that Of
prince, for to earn the latter he caused
the assassination of his predecessor,
Prince Karageorgevitch. Thus was the
way made easy for a piggery to a
throne!
Milan Obrenovitch, the deceased ex-
monarch, was born in 1854, and was be-
ing educated in Paris when, in 1868, his
uncle, the ruling prince of Servia, was
assassinated. Young as he was at the
time, Milan had managed to SOW vast
quantity Of wild oats, and when he re-
turned home, on the death Of his uncle,
the evil in his character was well de-
veloped. Until 1872 Servia was gov
erned by regency, but in that year
Milan succeeded to the rulership of the
principality In order to shake off the
suzerainty exercised by Turkey over
Servia Milan, in conjunction with
Montenegro, went to war with the Turk
and got badly licked, European inter-
vention alone saving his principality.

Poultry Notes.
fountains

Don't let your drinking fountains
freeze up.
Keep plenty of fresh water where
your fowls can get it.
Shut up your hen houses ON these cold
nights.
Now is the time to buy your cockerels
for spring.
Feed plenty of meat scraps If you
want to get lots Of eggs.
1t is a good plan to whitewash your
hen house early in the spring.
Keep the lice of your fowls and they
will keep healthy.
Don't let the roup get the start of you.
Whenever your fowls begin to sneeze
you should give them some olive oil and
kerosene oil, or burn pine tar ia your
houses. Roup is often caused by the
birds taking cold.
When your fowls have frosted combs
you should take one pint sweet oil, one
pint crude oil and one pint camphor and
rub this ON night and morning for two
or three mornings and they win be wei.

When and How to Plant Apples.

When and How to Plant Apples.
Realizing that the apple orchard Is a
more or less permanent investment we
must take cautious steps in laying Its
foundation, says Ohio Farmer. First,
we want suitable land ON the hills, with
any exposure except to the east. Land
free from stumps and stones and not
too steep Is best. New land is not best
as there will be too many stumps and
rOots and the borers that work on forest
trees are liable to work on the apple
trees. Some hoed crop should be grown
on the land the year before planting SO
that 1t will be in fine mellow condition.
I like to have the rows as straight as
line If it can be done, but IL not, follow
the curves Of the hill. Dig holes large
enough to plant the trees without
cramping the roots. Where the land Is
level or nearly so, some take the turn
ing pillow and plow out three or four fur
rows, set the trees in line, pull dirt over
roots and fill up furrow with plow
Plant two or three-year-old trees. / like
a good, thrifty, medium-sized two-year-
old tree, branched two and one-half or
three feet from the ground. All bruised
or broken roots should be pruned Off
and the top cut back about one-half.

Chance-Its Narrow Limits.

If, in speaking Of chance, we mean
simply something whose cause we do
not know, it may be allowable to use
the word, but If we mean by it any
thing which happens without cause
it is an injurious fallacy, which should
be banished from every mind and
every lip. If we remember that every
chance is only an illustration Of our
own ignorance. we shall be less likely
to use the word inadyisedly, and if we
habitually search for the causes of
things and turn our ignorance into
knowledge, we shall gradually curtail
the idea of it within narrower and
truer limits. Philadelphia Public Led

Never Say Die


The Southern Farm Magazine tells
OF a young farmer who planted corn,
and his first planting was destroyed by
cut worms. A second planting was
ruined by food, but he planted the
Held third time, and harvested the
best crop of corn that was grown in
that section. We will not stop now to
consider how much of his success was
due to working the land three times In
preparing it for the last crop, but say
we admire his spunk in not giving up
at the second failure. The man who can
change defeat into victory will succeed
finally. If his third crop had been de-
stroyed, and it had been too late to re-
plant with corn, such a man would
probably have tried another crop and
found it quite as profitable as the corn
crop. Others might have given up in
despair and grown nothing.

Laundering Linen.

To laundry embroidered linen make a.
suds with a fine soap and warm water
Do not soak, rub or wiring the piece, but
squeeze the suds through and through
until it is clean. Rinse in clear water
and dry between towels. It is well not
to expose embroidery to the air when iE
is wet, and it should never be dried in
the sun, nor should it be folded or rolled
while damp. Before it is entirely dry
iron it ON piece of thick flannel on a
soft, padded board. Lay the embroid-
cred side down, cover it with dry
cloth, over that place a wet cloth and.
press with a. moderately hot iron. In
stead of folding 1t, roll it ON a large,
round wooden stick

Hints to Housekeepers.
A few drops Of Worcestershire sauce
it is thought by many, is grateful adj
dition to any oyster preparation, even a
plain stew being improved by it.
To get the best results from canned
vegetables and fruits, the contents of
the cans should be turned into bowl
and placed in the open air for a time
before using, in order to allow for re-
oxygenation. No canned goods should
be allowed to stand in the tins after
they are opened
Chopped watercress is pleasant adj
dition to cabbage salad. Instead of this
the salad can be served on a bed OF
watercress, with a garnish of shredded
red peppers.
New chatting dishes are porcelain
lined, with, it is claimed, an improve
ment in their cooking qualities.
Vinegar and brown paper is still a
good remedy for bruise. Keep the
paper or the cloth wet, and both swell
| ing and discOlOration will be less.
Half the benefit from the liniment is
from the rubbing. Therefore rub long
| and gently. Do not injure the skin.
If stored seed potatoes begin to-
sprout, smoke them with sulphur They
will not only keep better but Will
| sprout quicker when planted.
Wagon grease can often be removed
from cloth by the following method
Rub with lard or unsalted butter, then.
after fifteen minutes wash out thor
!Oughly with hot water and soap.
The prettiest thing in name cards for
luncheons or dinners are petals of flow
ers in tinted cardboard, crumpled ex-.
actly as the petals of genuine roses
would be. One of these at each plate.
to agree with roses, which form the
table decoration, is very pretty and.

Poultry and Pota toes.

Last spring, as an experiment,
planted my poultry yard, containing
one-fourth of an acre, to potatoes.
have just dug fifty bushels of fine pota-
toes from this quarter acre. did moth
ing but plant and dig the potatoes; the
hens did the rest-kept off the bugs,
kept the ground free from weeds, fertil-
lied the crop and kept the ground in
fine condition, SO that l didn't need to
cultivate. The yield is double that on
land adjoining, and the potatoes are
entirely free from scab. Seventy-five
hens occupied the quarter acre. When
the potatoes were planted, a few whole
potatoes were thrown into the yard for
the fowls, so that they had no need to
dig out the seed potatoes. l think 100
hens could care for an acre of potatoes
to their mutual benefit.-F. N. Clark, in

Spare the Quais.

During the first three months of it's
life the quail feeds almost entirely
ON insects, and it is estimated that
each bird will eat it's weight In insects
every day until nearly full grown, and
even longer than that if the fall grass
hoppers are plenty. When there are
no more insects to be found they begin
on the gleanings of grain and weed
seeds. the latter being the ration most
of the winter Farmers should not
only forbid the shooting of quail upon
their lands, but should further protect
them in winter by providing little heaps
of brush or evergreen boughs, where
they can find shelter and food during
deem SHOWS. A quart of wheat screen
ings. the seeds from the barn floor, or
other food that the farmer could give
them without cost, would save many
and another season they would pay
for it in hunting bugs.

IN HONOR OF A NOBLE WOMAN

The eight children of the late Mrs. A.
F. Page have given four thousand dollars
to the fund for the erection of the main
building of the Methodist Orphanage in
this city The chapel is to be dedicated
to the memory of their mother, and called
"the Catharine Page Chapel"
This is a noble gift in honor of noble
mother. Her children rise up and call
her blessed" Few mothers in North
Carolina trained more useful sons and
daughters than the good woman whose
name for all time is to be associated with
the religious gatherings of the Methodist
Orphanage In life, her home was the
home of religion. She was given to hos
pitality and all those virtues that mark
the perfect wife and mother. 1t is fitting
that her example should be ever before
the young girls who will be trained in
the new orphanage built by the church
in which Mrs. Page was "a mother in
Israel"
