Boston. March 21.-Both Robert M
Morse and Harrison Durham, VINO
have acted as counsel for Mrs. Juii
French, who was found dead at her
Newbury street home, yesterday ue
clared that il is their belief that MIS-.
French died intestate. In this case the
estate. at $500, 900, will be divided De
tween two sons.
LAWYER Durham told a reporter, To-
day that he had suspicious ABOUT ms
clients death and that he had COM
m,,nicated his suspicious to the ponce
department, but that that trlbunal ulo
mt see fit to prosecute the case any
further. believing that she met her
death accidentally.
THE last time l saw her, SAID MI.
Du,nbam. two weeks ago, she told me
that she felt that she would be muir

that she had been killed by being
thrown into the elevator well, and ask

way described by the dream that l
would investigate it carefully. l feel
that | ought to take some steps In the
matter How to go about it l hardly

The fact that wrench was found on
the floor from which Mrs. French IS
thought to have fallen seems to me
fact that people who fall grip tightly

fact that people who fall grip tightly

her brokers' office and left with the

CAREFUL CULLING PAYS.


There is nothing that assists a breed
er more in maintaining a good reputa-
ton for sending out good stuff than
close culling. No breeder has been able
to raise all good pigs, even from the
most distinguished sires and dams that
ever lived. There always will be some
inferior to others. These should be
consigned to the pork pens. The breed
err that does not do this will have lots
of trouble on his hands, says the Amer
lean Swineherd. He will find it un-
profitable because he cannot sell to the
same nan more than one time.
The man that builds his business by
honest transactions that are satisfae-
tory to the buyer Is the n that makes
a profit and a success out of his busi.
ness. If you get a customer for an
animal make the deal so that he will
be your friend and continue your u
toner. We have plenty of breeders
who are of this character and who prac.
tise this method of doing business. TIC
do business and meet the requirement
you should have the blood for which
there is a demand. You should have
good sows as well as good boars if you
want to produce a good class of pigs.
You should give close attention to feed
ing and handling to properly develop
them. 1t is better to have one good
sow than three poor or medium ones
for profit.

ALL AROUND THE FARM.

Hired men who are well fed and we'll
paid let the colts do the kicking.
The wife is an equal partner and
should share in the profits equally.
The farm should exist for the fam
lily and not the family for the farm.
Shredded corn fodder is coming to
the front as a substitute for timothy
hay.
The woman is not wise who buys
sage, catnip and horseradish, instead
of planting a patch of them for her
self.
Pork and potatoes should not be on
the table regularly three times a day,
but should be regular crops on the
farm.
The most valuable live stock are the
boys and girls and their care, feeding,
shelter and training should receive first
attention.
Keep the stable and dairy room in
rood condition and then insist that the
dairy, factory or place where the milk
goes be kept equally well.
Orchards can be started at small ex-
pense by men, women and children
learning to graft, then planting seeds,
and grating in choice scions.

thing consumed on the place is getting
along faster than he who buys his sup

Women are naturally more suscept-
ible to inclemencies of the weather
than men. With them a cold is often
the starting point of some severe
pelvic arrangement, causing much
pain and suffering.
Every woman needs a remedy upon
which she can rely to keep her system
fortified against the trying weather OF
winter and early spring. If Peruna is
taken at the first symptom Of a cold IL
will cure it before it develops into
some annoying catarrhal arrangement.
