l,ill and Joe,

Ray likes best to have me tell him
! stories about Bill and Joe, two great
black dogs. They are owned by two
boys, who live near a village by the
sea. In the summer many people
come there to board, in cottages and
at the big hotel. The boys have a
wagon for the dogs. and when Bill and
Joe are harnessed and the boys are in
the wagon driving this turnout is
looked at by everybody. All think the
boys have the best dogs they ever saw.
The boys sell newspapers during
the summer and twice day, when q
trains come in, the boys are there with
the dogs and the wagon and they drive
around, leaving the papers at the cot
tages and the houses. All the boys al
the shore are on t e watch for Bill and
Joe, and when they come along some
Of the boys and girls get ride, and
this pleases them very much, and they,
are made extra happy when the boys
let them drive the dogs awhile.
One summer little sick girl came
to the hotel with her father and
mother. They thought the sea air
would do the child good. She was
sweet girl, but looked SO weak and so
thin everybody was sorry for her. She
did not seem to get any better and the
only thing she seemed to care for was
to see handsome Bill and Joe come
trotting along. Then she would
brighten up little and seem to take
great notice.
So one day her father asked the boys
to drive right up near to where little
Eta was sitting, and how pleased she
was The boys spoke to her and the
dogs kissed her hands. Then the boys
said to her father:
Don't you want. sir, to have us
give Eta a ride?"
The father looked at the girl and
she whispered to him, "Yes," so he
took her UP carefully Ia lis arms and
put !er on the seat beside one of the
bOys and she had nice little ride.
1t seemed TO do her good, for that
evening she ate little more and
seemed little hungry. The boys gave
her ride again the next day andt hen
her father asked the boys to come for
a few moments twice day.
So every day Eta watched for Bill
and Joe morning and afternoon. and
she acted as If that gave her some
thing to live for. She kept getting
better and better, and after a time
walked down to the wagon instead of
being carried. In few weeks she
was called we'll and her mother and
father and the doctor all thought that
Bill and Joe had cared her.
How she loved those dogs! When
it was time to go home it seemed as if
she could moi bear to part with them.
The father tried TO buy Bill and Joe
and told the boys he would give them
| 5000 for the dogs, but they would not
sell them for any price. So the father
comforted Eta by telling her he
would bring her back the next sum-
mer to play again with Bill and Joe.
He also gave the boys 500 and told
them to buy new harness for the
! dogs and do what they liked with the
rest Of the money. They bought the
harness and put the balance of the
money in the bank, for they hoped to
go to college some day. and began
when they were tiny lads to save for
that good end.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Dipping Sheep at shearlng Time.

One gallon of dip costing S1.5O will
make 100 gallons of dip when properly
diluted for dipping The best time for
dipping is at shearing time just after
the wool has been removed. The ticks
usually leave the old sheep, going to
the lambs, before or at the time of
shearing, so it becomes necessary to
dip the entire flock in order to get
rid of them.
Where one man has a sufficient
number OF sheep, he should own
dipping tank, but where several
neighbors own sheep, one tank may
serve the neighborhood. The most
successful hog men arc dipping their
hogs nowadays. so the tank may serve
double purpose. Galvanized iIon
tanks made especially for this work
are so cheap and durable that any
other sort of tank is expensive. There
are several sheep dips in the market
which can be bought. They come in
a concentrated form and should be
used according to .hc manufacturers
directions. Avoid dips which contain
lime and sulphur, as they are injurious
to the wool.
A convenient method of dipping is to
have the tank set at the end of a mar
row lane or shute, leading out from
the sheep pen or barn. The lane may
be temporary where hurdles are avail
able. The tank fer convenience
should be sunk foot or more in the
ground. After the sheep have been
sheared, they Qambs includcd) are
driven through the lane, which should
be narrow enough to cause the sheep
to go single lie, to the tank. AS they
are forced into the tank, man, or
two if available, catches the sheep to
see that 1t becomes thoroughly soaked
forces the head rnder for a sec
ond and then assists it in getting out
of the tank. The sheep should re-
main in the dip long enough to thor
oughly saturate the wool to the skin.
If low-wheeled wagon with bed and
sideboarls on is at hand, 1t is good
plan to back it up to the tank, allow
ing the sheep to come out of the tank
into the wagon, where they should
remain until the wagon is full. This
keeps them from shaking the dip off
for little time, and is also about the
height OF the top of the tank, making
a good platform upon which to land.
Where sheep are regularly and thor.
oughly dipped once year there is
usually no need of a second dipping;
but in case ticks are found on them
they should be dipped again in the fall
just before cool weather. Dipping is
not only a remedy for ticks and lice,
but is practiced as a cure and preven-
tive of scab-J. H. Skinner, in Orange
Judd Farmer.

sulphur as IA Di.infec.an,.

Sulphur burnt in the poultry house
will dispel ioul odors, and thoroughly
disinfect the disease breeding germs.
1t is no. difficult to do, and requires
only a few minutes time once every
month. One OF the simplest ways Is
to heat an old shovel until red and
sprinkle few tablespoonfuls of pow
dered sulphur on it. Close the doors
of the house at once, and be careful
that no fowls are concealed therein,
as the fumes mean certain death for
them.
:. Let the door remain closed for an
hour, then open and let the house have
ventilation. Carbolic acid is also one
of the best disinfectants, and may be
Durnt like sulphur, but If sprayed over
the roosts and walls, it answers the
purpose equally we'll.

Breaking Up Eroody Hens.

Ask an old farmer the best way to
break up a broody hen, and ten to
one he will tell you: "Shut them up
and starve them, or duck them in cold
water: throw them as far as you pos
sibly can every time you come near
the nest; tie a rag on their tails, or
build a frame wnere they must always
stand on a roost, with no chance OF
settling down." A short time ago |
heard new way, and tried it and
found it worked we'll.
Remove your len from the nest
carefully-and here is point which
II is we'll to follow at all times: AL
ways handle hen as you would a
child, with care and consideration, as
they are tender things, and jerking af-
fects their nervous system just as
much as it would affect your child to
grab it by the arms or legs and swing
it over your head once in while. That
is something which many people, and
even men ard women who have madc
study of the poultry business for
many years, 10 not know, or else they
do not care to know. But, to return
to my subject: Take the hen carefully
from the nest, place her in comfort
able place, but in altogether new sur
roundings, where there are no nests,
and do not starve her by any means.
On the contrary, feed her on all the
rich, concentrated foods she will eat,
and especially see that she has some
kind of animal food-green cut bone
is abb ut the best for this. Be sure
she has plenty of grit, some green food
and water Do not forget the last, as
what we wish to do is to get this hen
in laying condition again, and in or
der to do this she must have plenty of
good food and wafer. Before long we
find our setting hen has renewed her
entire constitution; that old broody
feeling passes away, and she feels like
getting out and enjoying the air, and
will soon by laying again.
The reason this process acts so we'll
and so quickly is that a hen after lay
ing a large number of eggs becomes
worn out; her constitution has stood
heavy drain for all winter, perhaps,
and she feels desire, very natural
desire, to sit, because it is the nature
of the hen TO sit and raise brood OF
chicks at least once year. By rails
ing this brood she rests herself, and
that is why she is usually in such gooc
condition when winter comes. l have
heard shoWmen say that they like tc
have their hens sit, as by doing this
they rest up, and in the winter wher,
the show season comes on. instead o.
having an old tagged out hen who has
been forced to lay most all the year
around, they have q hen that has had
her ma .ural rest, and she is in good
condition to show. About this latter
I am not much of an authority, but
do know that hen can be broken
from being broody by feeding care
fully and changing her quarters. She
will begin laying quicker under this
treatment than any other, and, in my
mind ut least, it is the best have ever
tried, and have tried several other
humane ways.-Correspondence in
New York Tribune Farmer.

of various organs it has been named very
differently. 20
One woman has dyspepsia, another hron-

liver complaint, another consumption, an
other female complaint. These women
would be very much surprised to hear that
they are all suffering with chronic catarrh.
But it is so, nevertheless.
Each one Of these troubles and great
many more are simply catarrh-that is,
chronic Inflammation Of the mucous lining Of
which ever organ is affected. Any Internal
remedy that will cure catarrh IN one logh.

Peruna has become so justly famous in the

Household Hints.

Windows should be cleaned with
chamois skin.
A pinch of salt added when eggs are
being beaten up makes them fToth
faster.
Coarse brown paper, such as is used
by butchers, is best for draining fried
things upon.
A lamp wick should never be allowed
to crowd the tube. If tight, pull out
two or three threads lengthwise.
Did you ever try brickdust to clean
agatewear? 1t is less expensive Man
other articles sold for such purposes,
and far more effectual
In frying with a frying basket al
ways heat the basket before putting it
in the fat, as when put in cold it takes
too much heat from the fat.
Strange as it may seem, clear day
is much better for making fruit jellies
than a cloudy one, as the atmosphere
affects the boiling point of sugar.
Varnish for floors, woodwork or fur
niture is no longer considered desira-
bic. a soft finish produced by rub
bing is the accepted thing these days.
Do not have cast-iron rule that
things in your home fitments must
match. Often monotony is the result.
Sometimes varying materials of har-
monious coloring are to be preferred to
those that match.
Few people realize how infinitely
superior to the fine white turnip Is the
common yellow one. Try boiling this
vegetable with a bit of garlic, add
black pepper and good lump of but
ter and you will never use the white
sort again.
