Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
The first thing I would notice is
the progressiveness of The Progress
sive Farmer in changing from 8
pages to a Is page form that is neat
in makeup and handsome in general
appearance. It makes the journal
much more convenient to read as
we'll as to preserve for future use.
It mostly gives us original thoughts
from progressive thinkers and work
ers, thoughts that are practical all
along the line of agricultural indus
try. These, with it's decided moral
tone, makes it a safe and very use
full journal that should be found and
read in every industrial family in
North Carolina at least.
THE AMERICAN MERINO
Letters from some who read the
"Sheep in the South" articles in last
years Progressive Farmer still come
to me One, a well-known farmer,
writes: eff you write any more on
sheep please describe the American
Merino."
The history of these sheep traces
back more than two hundred years,
and I may commence here by refer
ing to them in Spain during the
eighteenth century when the then
superb focks of them belonged most
ly to the crown and to the nobility
of that nation during it's palmiest
days of glory, wealth and power. In
the early part of that century some
of these Spanish Sleeps were taken
to and improved in Germany, main
~ Saxony and Silisia, and in the last
part some went to France and &C.
quired the name of French Merino
and Rambonlett Merino. About the
same time and in the first of the
nineteenth century, some we're i'm
ported from Spain to the United
States, and after becoming greatly
changed and improved in this coun-
try they have come to be known as
the American Merino.
In Spain this breed of sheep had
been intelligently handled, carefully
cared for and purely bred by the
most wealthy, best educated and
most highly cultured class of peo-
pie in that kingdom for a long pc
ricd of time. This gave the breed
certain characteristics that became
fixed and well established in the
blood, among which was a hardness
of constitution and physical develop
ment that was we'll calculated to en-
able them to travel and Craze about

Toledo, O., June 16--Mayor Jones has

in the plant of the Acme Sucker Rod,
who took the hardest fall out of the
Mayor that he has met with since he
became known TO fame. Some weeks
ago 1t was necessary TO lay off some Of
the wol kmen in the machine shop for
lack of castings. The men received
courteous letter from Mr.. Jones ex-
planning the situation. The letter went
on to say that members of the Golden
Rule" band while laid off would re-
ceive half pay and the others were
told they were at liberty to accept en-
ployment wherever they could find it
until the shop resumed work.
This announcement struck the "cub"
ms not being Just fair, giving the work
men In the band half pay for doing
nothing while those not in the band
were offered nothing. The cub" dur
ing the noon hour procured a sheet of
cardboard and pot of paint, and the
result was the painting of sign or

COOL FOOD
For Hot Days.

Better health comes with less meat
and fat during the warm weather,
BY proper and pleasant diet you
can prepare the body for summer and
feel from ten TO twenty degrees cooler
than your neighbor.
Grape-Nuts and cream, little fruit
and possibly couple Of soft boiled
eggs, is sufficient for the breakfast.
An ordinary portion OF Grape. Nuts
contains sufficient nourishment to fully
sustain the body until the MONDAY
meal; being predigested food, II does
not overtax the stomach and contains
none of the heat supplied by the heavy
carbonaceous foods.
Fully cooked at the factory by food
experts, brings II to you ready to
serve, and does away with the heat of
cooking and the time necessary to pre-.
pare ordinary food and it's crisp dainti.
ness is pleasing to the palate of young
and old.
Many delicious recipes are found in
each Grape-Nuts package, so that the
form of eating this wholesome food
can he changed to suit ,he user
These suggestions, II followed for
ten days, will convince the most skep.

Read It In His Newspaper.

George Schaub, well known Ger
man citizen of New Lebanon, o., is a
constant reader of the Dayton Volkzei-
tung. He knows that this paper aims
to advertise only the best in its col
umns, and when he saw Cbamberlain's
Pain Balm advertised therein for lame
back, he did not hesitate in buying
bottle Of 1t for his wife, who for 3
weeks had suffered with the most ter
rible pains in her back and could get
no relief. He says: "After using the
Pain Balm for few days my wife
said to me, 4 feel as though born a.
new and before using the entire con-
tents Of the bottle the unbearablc pains
had entirely vanished and she could
again take up her household duties"
He is very thankful, and hopes that
all suffering likewise will hear of her
wonderful recovery. This valuable

PENNILEss,
A Once Wealthy Won.
an Is Dying.
A CIairvoyant Now Possesses Her
Fortune.

Indianapolis, June 16-Mrs. Mary Cis-
ney, infirm mentally and physically,
is dying Of cancer in the City hospi-
tai. She is continually talking of mon
ey and valuables, but she will take no
one into her confidence, and the inquir-
les in her behalf have proved futile.
Recently the Pclice Superintendent
received Letter from c. l.. Teters, 40
Clark place, Columbus, o., saying that
Mrs. Cisney possessed property ard
her case should be investigated, and
suggested that inquiry be made at
Southport, where she formerly lived
with her nephew, Robert G. Teters.
All the information obtainable at
Southport is that the couple settled
there four years ago. and that Mr..
Teters seemed to be man of leisure,
but also of means.
Last August he placed the old we
man in the Home controlled by the
Little Sisters of the Poor, this city,
and represented to her nelghbors at
Southport that she was being cared
for at his expense. The Sisters re-
ported that she was a charity patient
and that she persisted in wandering
away, and two weeks ago they wrote
to Southport requesting Mr.. Teters to
take chare of her. Meanwhile Mr.. TIE.
ters had moved away.
Teters was found in this city, where
he has sales stable. He gives an
emphatic denial to the imputation that
he at any time had charge of the old
woman's money, and he says that she
squandered her fortune in Chicago,
where she became mixed up with a
number of clairvoyants, who made
her believe that she was an heiress to
an estate in England. What the clair
voyants failed to get hold Of the law
yers took. Teters also claimed that
he had cared for his aunt for years,
but he was now getting old and felt
it was time he was looking out for him
self. 1t is not likely that Mrs. Cisney
will recover from her present illness,
but If she does she will be removed
to the County Infirmary as a pauper.

Lafferty's craft, and the Corsair,
which Mr.. Work drove to victory, the
Chicora, a large launch from Barber
ton, and the Lorna Doone, owned by
Mr.. Frank Adams, of this city. were
entered and both the newcomers sue
ceeded in leaving Mr.. Lafferty be-
hind.
The lake was dotted with pleasure
crafts and -sightseers, and the shores
contained hundreds of interested peo-
pie, when the race started. The con-
test was over triangular course, IA
miles in circumference. The race con-
sisted of six rounds, the total distance
being Z IL miles.
The boats got away well together
at 4:25, and after they had proceeded
but n short distance it was plain to
be seen that Mr.. Work would be an
easy winner, for he steadily drew
away from the other contestants and
was at no time in danger. The Chi,
cora came next, through the race;
the Lorna Doone, followed, and then
came the Es-Be- ELL in fourth place.
Mr.. Work finished the first lap
more than minute in advance Of Mr..
Lafferty. and steadily widened the
gap until the finish, when he was
S1-2 minutes ahead of his rival.
The work done by the boats Satur-
day shows that Mr.. Work can make
a speed of very close to nine miles an
hour, while Mr.. Lafferty must content
himself with IL miles. There was
very little variation in the time Of the
rounds, which shows that all boats
were behaving well, and doing their
very best. The race laps were as fol-
lows:

crowd was n big success, so big, in
fact, that it prevented the success of
the game. 1t Overfowed the grand
stand and the field, and stood all the
way round the diamond, and the game
was mere pretense. So dense was the
crowd that the umpire was unable at
times to see the base lines. Much of
the crowd left before the game was
over. Cy Young did not appear with
the Boston team, but big Gene Wright
pitched for Cleveland, and pleased the
fans from this city and Barberton.

In one of the prettiest games or the
season the Kirkwoods beat the North
Ends on the COW pasture at Silver lake
Saturday afternoon. The game was
battle of the pitchers, in which Doug
las had n shade the better of Stone.
Three singles widely scattered were
all the North End batters got off
Douglas, while Stone held the Kirk
wood hitters to six.
Fitzgerald caught master game.
In the third he caught foul from
Schatter's bat near the grandstand af-
ter hard run. Malone robbed Motz
of q seeming single in the eighth. The
ball was low fly to short left center
which Malone was just able to reach
after a desperate run. He was falling
when he made the catch, but after Il
loop-the-loop, and while still lying on
his back, he shot up his hand and there
was the sphere. 1t was the most sen
sational catch made at the cow pasture
this year Volk and Kirk each played
pretty game at short, while Price ac-
cepted eleven chances at second with
ont an error. Volk, Price and Schlat-
ter were the performers in two fast
double plays.
,Kirkwood scored two in the second
inning. Cross hit for one base. Miller
flied. Van Dame failed to connect
with Stones twisters Herroun met
the ball with his forearm and Cross
went to second. Fitzgerald hit for two
bases and two runs came In. Fitz
oyerran second base, however, and was
caught In the sixth 1t looked bright
for more runs for Kirkwood. Quar-
rie singled. Motz hit a pretty one to
left that was good for two bases, but
Quarrie thought he was playing one
old-cat and merely trottcd to second
Cross, Miller and VanDame went down
before the mighty arm of Stone and no
runs were scored, In the eighth Kirk
singled and stole second. VolI missed
the throw to catch him stealing. and
then Dietrich tried to throw into the
middle of the lake and Kirk scored.
The North Ends made their run in
the ninth. Price walked. The fourth
ball was Il wild pitch, and Price was
anchored ut second before it was re-
turned to the diamond. Phelps flied.
Boies hit to Douglas and was out at
first, Price going to third. Gross at
tempted to catch Price at third, but
the ball whizzcd between MOTIFS legs
and the North Ends only run was
scored.
