United States Steel Corporation in

therefore, practically all ACCOMPLISHED

According to this expert, the new
packing combine is to be capitalized

is said that it is theundoubted determi-
nation of the consolidated meat in
terests to control all of the packing
houses and stock yard companies and
save every possible dollar in the cost
of manufacturing and distribution.
In addition to this, all by products
will be absolutely controlled, and eff
forts made to buy up industries that

SHEEP HERDING.

A gray, slow-moving, dust-bepowdered
wave
That on the edges breaks to scattering
spray,
Round which my faithful collies wheel
and bark
To scurry-in the laggard feet that stray;
A babel of complaining tongues that make
The still air weary with their ceaseless
fret;
Brown hills akin to those of Gallee,
On which the shepherds tend their
charges yet
The long, hot days, the stark, wind beaten
nights
No human presence, human sight or
sound;
Grim, silent land of wasted hopes, where
they
Who came for gold ofttimes have mad
ness found;
A bleating horror that foregathers speech
Freezing the word that from the lip
would pass,
And sends the herdsman groveling with
his sheep,
Face down and beast-lke on the tram
pied grass.
The collies halt, the slow herd sways and
reels,
Hudded in fright above the low ravine'
Where wild with thirst a herd unshep-
herded
dark between;
A narrow circle that they will not cross,
A thing that stops the maddest in their
A guarding dog too weak to lift his head
Who ticks a hand still shriveled in the
sun.

LED A STAMPEDE.

New York, Sept. 11.-A big red Texas
steer, which had evidently become fam
ished for want of water and fodder, ran
wild in Williamsburg this morning and
imperiled more than 1000 children. 1t
was one of the most exciting mornings
that Williamsburg has ever had, and
about dozen children who were unable
to get out of the animals wav were more
or less injured, but none seriously enough
to warrant removal to an hospital. They
were taken home by their parents, while
about fifty more children who had become
frightened at the steers exploits suffered
too much from the shock to attend tn
school session. Before the steer was
killed it had become impaled by the
throat on one of the pickets of the school
fence.

CARE OF UMBRELLAS.
How They Should he Rolled and
Drained,

Drained.
A handsome umbrella is we'll worth
taking care of, and to do this requires
little thought and good judgment,
says the Philadelphia Record. In roll
ing an umbrella instead of twisting
with handle take hold of it Just above
the points of the cover ribs. These
points naturally lie evenly around the
stick. Keep hold of these, pressing
them tightly against the stick, and
then roll up the cover Holding the
ribs prevents them from getting twist
ed out Of place or bending out of shape.
Then the silk Is bound to fold evenly
and roll smooth and tight.
When an umbrella has been out In a
rain, it should be placed to drain i'm
mediately upon your return to the
house, and it should be drained in the
position in which one carries an UNI
brella. To do this place the handle Of
the umbrella on a small stand that will
not retain the drippings, and there let
it remain until thoroughly dry. II
placed upside down, the moisture will
soak into the leather at the top and
Will gradually tend to rot 1t out, so the
life of the umbrella will be greatly
shortened.
Many persons are extremely fond Of
having handsome handles for their
umbrellas, and this very pleasant fad
may be carried out without very great
expense. Handsome handles may be
purchased separate from the umbrella
and may be adjusted without trouble,
provided care Is taken when selecting
the handles to secure those of a SINH
lar make to the umbrella. In some um-
brellas the screw is fastened to the
stick; in others the stick has hollow
place for the reception of the screw.
In every case it is wise to select an
umbrella from which the handle may
be removed, as then the umbrella may
be easily packed If necessary in a
much smaller space than when the
handle Is stationary.

$44, 600 STOLEN.

Paris, Sept. 11.-What was at first
an unconfrmed rumor that the Bank
of France had been robbed, is given
out officially today as true. Several
morning newspapers devoted quite a
bit of space to the rumor Wednesday
but it was not until late that after
noon that the story was verified.
There is but little doubt that the
work was done by professionals The
bank officials are reticent about the
affair but being pressed for state
ment said: 1.-The robbery amounted
to $44, 600 in gold 1t was discovered
yesterday, but was kept quiet on the
advice of the police. 1t was not the
work of burglars. The gold was TAX

bank robbers in the guise of employees
are responsible for the robbery.
Many clues are being followed.

SCABBY LEGS.

When fowl has scabby legs the
greatest precautions must be taken.
An ointment hould be used early
and often, or else the birds should be
killed, as the disease is contagious.
Do not allow bird with scabby legs
in the flock, as it is filthy, disa-
greeable object. When the disease
first apears an easy way to cure it is
to rub on the legs grease composed
of one part of kerosene to one part
Of lard. This will in nearly every
case entirely clear off the scabs.
When the legs become thickly covered,
however, the first duty is to scrape
away as much of the scale as posi-
BILE then wash the legs, and dry well,
after which grease the legs from toes
to thigh with an ointment composed
of one teaspoonful of carbolic acid
one gill of lard and one tablespoonful
of coal-oil The parasite will succumb
to the ointment, and the scales will
gradually fall Off

NEED BROAD CULTURE.

A writer in the Tribune Farm
er says that the need of broad cul-
ture is more vital on the farm than
in professions. He thinks that condi-
tions which the farmer has to meet in
volve more scholarship than those
which the lawyer has to discuss. at
follows that the farm should be the
best educated man in the community "
This is also correct; and belive that
it will shortly come true. A farmer
farms it at guess work who has no
knowledge of entomology, botany, geol-
ogy and the correlated sciences Real
horticulture is wonderful science of
itself, besides being the application of
dozen other sciences. Then look
at the interests which are dependent
upon farm. GU will examine this
question but little way before you
will conclude that agriculture should
not be left in the hands of ignorant
or half educated people. This is all
the more true now that intensive
farming is taking the place of the
careless scratching of one or two
hundred acres.

BUYING HOGS CHEAP.

No swine breeder can afford to buy
animals just because they are cheap.
1t not infrequently happens that the
cheapest animals prove to be the most
expensive in the end, whether that
end may be in the way of breeding
or OF butchering. If an animal is
cheap it is because it is not worth
much, except in rare cases, when a
good animal has to be disposed of I'M
der the conditions of forced sale.
The man that buys cheap boar finds
that he has to sell the progeny of that
boar at a correspondingly low price.
The man that buys a cheap sow
frequently finds that she is cheap be-
cause she bears few pigs, and they of
poor quality. By the time he has dis
posed of the pigs and figured up his
accounts, he finds that the cheap SOW
was really very expensive SOW, for
into her went not only the purchase
money, but great deal of labor and
feed. No progressive man will allow
the price to dictate his purchases.
Quality is what he must have, and
that is what he is after. The man
that really buys cheap is the man that
pays good price for good animal
and gets good profit out of it. 1t is
very seldom that good profit comes
out of a poor price and poor animal.

AGRICULTURAL.
POTATO ROT.

The continued wet weather follow
ing the blight, is leading to serious
rotting of potatoes The Vermont ex-
pertinent station is receiving so
many inquiries as to the matter, that
the following statements seem timely {:
The late blight or crust" which
has been so prevalent this year, is
caused by fungus, kind of mildew,
which is carried through the winter
in the seed potato and so far as known
only in this way. Where such infect
ed potatoes are planted the fungus
develops in the potato shoots and
finally causes the blight of the leaves,
providing weather conditions are at
all favorable. The germs or spores
are produced in enormous numbers on
these blighting leaves and by these
the infection is spread to neighboring
plants Many of the spores fall to the
ground also, and invading the tubers,
cause the rot. Spraying with Dor
deaux mixture kills. these spores, and
so prevents both the blight of the
leaves and the rot of the tubers. The
plants at the experiment station farm,
which have been sprayed are now
green and healthy now (Sept. g. as
they were month ago, whereas the
rows in the field left unsprayed are
dead Many farmers throughout the
State have had equally good results
from spraying. Where the plants were
sprayed little rot is developing, but
in the unprotected fields where the
tops have blighted, rot is serious
The question is being asked whether
it is better to dig at once in these
fields. The Experiment station Off
GERS advise prompt digging They
have not decided this by experiments,
however, 50 are now carrying on some
to settle the matter a half dozen
fields have been selected on different
soils, where the vines are blighted.
ne-fourth of the rows in each field
were dug on August 25; one-fourth
on Sept. G.; one fourth will be dug
Sept. IS, and the last fourth on Sept
30. The condition as to the total
yield, amount of rot and keeping
qualities will then be compared
Some other interesting experiments
upon potatoes are also under way,
the results of which will be published
later. One of these is to determine
whether, when the vines make a rank
growth, it is better to cut them back
Another seeks to find out whether
spraying the soil will tend to check
