Lance. no more faithful servant Of tho

Inside his church he was a power, repre-

fair weather and foul to the mother church.
A great priest undoubtedly: but can We
say a great prelate?
Cardinal Vaughan had conspdcuoudy the
faults of the old English Catholics. nor
could we wish them less tenacious of their
Old World ideals.
They are the living links that bind US to

But It is at least questionable II a man

from the headmaster to be one of the dis

AS a compliment to the veteran orator,
one OF the monitors was told OF to recite
a purple patch from some perfervid
speech on which it was known that he par
ticularly prided himself.
This attention greatly nattered Lord
Brougham's vanity. which had not dimin-
ished with the march of time, and at the
conclusion of the recital, depositing a very
seedy looking hat on his chair. he sprang to
his feet and vehemently applauded tho in
terperter Of his bygone eloquence.
But, unfortunately. on resuming his seat
he forgot that it was occupied by his hat,
upon which he sank. with very disastrous
consequences!
OF this. however. the expectant crowd
of boys in the schoolyard knew nothing.

for example. at the Pennsylvania Sta

schedules have to be arranged to make .
conflict impossible.

wolves ultimately upon tho chief operating

the other end Of the division. at q certain
other hour.
THE trainmaster Of tho division must
then prepare a schedule Of trains for his
division. and these tentative arrangements
must be sent to the chief dispatcher before
the new train is put on.
Each additional train must involve. .
certain disarrangement OF the schedule
already in force. II the new train is
flyer the disarrangement amounts al
most to disorder. In the case OF special.
put on last fall the schedule OF four trains
had to be altered. The local or accommo-
dation trains are most affected by these
changes.
They must get out Of the way OF limited
trains in plenty OF time. and passengers on
the local trains arc likely to chafe under
the delays that are inevitable.
when all the tentative schedules pro-
viding for a new train are in hand. the
chief dispatcher is in position to prepare
a final schedule. He must regard, espe-
cially in limited trains. the hours at which
trains are expected to leave and arrive at
important points.
He cannot run a train along the line of
least resistance for at the hours when there
were fewest obstacles in the way Of the
flyer there might be the greatest like
nhood of no passengers In waiting at the
important stations.
When all the data are in hand. the
schedule IL prepared and notifications are
sent out to the division superintendent.
But the experimentation does not end there.

Probably Indigestion.

From Farmers Review: There Is
q disease prevalent among poultry. of
which the symptoms are. viz: A
very heavy breathing, they shiver rs
with the ague. refuse to eat, stop lay
ing a couple of days and die. bowels
quite loose. The poultry were fed on
whole corn. soaked bread and cooked
potatoes, and seemed In good condi-
ton all winter. Will you please tell
me, through the columns of your pa
per, what ails them. Many Of the
farmers in this vicinity have lost
hens in the same way.-Mrs. Leo O.
Miller.
The symptoms, as given above, are
very meager, as ceasing to produce
eggs and dying can hardly be called
symptoms. The heavy breathing and
looseness Of the bowels would indi-
cate roup. II this is present the
mouths of the birds should contain
an abundance of colOrless. stringy
mucus, even If it does not show itself
in the eyes. Cholera is possible. but
rot probable. From the data given
we should infer that the trouble is in
due to a too heavy grain
ration throughout the winter. Pota-
toes could hardly balance the ration,
IS they are themselves overbalanced
In the direction of the carbohydrates,
rs Is corn. II is not probable that the
fowls received q very large quantity
Ct soaked bread. Every spring indi-
gestion carries of multitudes of fowls
that have been heavily grain fed
through the winter. Why the trouble
does not appear earlier We cannot
say. Perhaps the digestive apparatus
Of the fowls are abe to stand q Ger.
tai. Aunant of abuse, and the limit
Df their endurance is not reached till
spri6s. II these fowls had been fed q

during the winter, or had re-

Plant Pears in Sod.

From Farmers Review: We have
found by experience that pears
should always be planted in stiff sod
and not even be mulched with straw.
Coal ashes may Re put around them
but never spade around them. as not
spading will cause them to grow slow
er. but not blight like those of quicker
growth. We planted about Is pear
trees some eight or ten years ago.
Those which we planted in cultivated
land are nearly all dead, while those
planted in stiff sod have given more
fruit than all the rest. They blight
but little, grow very slowly and do
not seem to need cutting the tops
back. I think It is also q beneat
never to trim them. except to cut out
dead branches; but those set in stiff
sod have scarcely any dead branches.

Energy in Fighting Insects.

Spraying is not something that can
wait on everything else. or, in fact,
anything else, says Prof. F. M. Web
ster. When the time comes, it must
be done promptly or good results can
not be secured with the most effective
insecticides. It seems. sometimes, rs
though there was . human aversion
to spraying or. indeed. fighting in
sects at all, at the proper time. and
that It took q lot OF stamina to pull
ones self together and put forth the
effort ut the right time and in the
right manner. do not know whether
this is due to the fact that they are
frequently SO minute. or whether it is
because we have insects always with
VS.. and familiarity breeds contempt.
Certain it Is that the contempt and
neglect are common everywhere
among our people. and I do not know
that they are worse in one state than
in another.

Cream for the Creamery.

There are . good many things that
our creameries will have to do before
they succeed in getting 6rst-class
cream for use in making butter. espe-
cially when the gathered cream sys-
tenn Is followed. One manager sug-
gests that every creamery should fur
nish the kaulers with canvas covers
for their cans to keep out the dust
that 90 often gets into the crease
where the covers At In and are after
ward rinsed out with the cream when
It is poured from the cans. He also
suggests that IL would be . paying
investment to furnish the haulers
with soap-stone stoves or some
other kind of heaters in winter. SO
that the cream will not freeze. as II
is not possible to make hrstclass but
ter from frozen cream. In the sum-
mer time haulers Of cream should be
required to be at the creamery at q
certain time, as several hours un-
necessary exposure of cream to the

Value Of Pasture for pios.

Value Of Pasture for Pigs.
A recent bulletin Of the Missouri
State Board Of Agriculture quotes
g. w. Waters ~ follows:
I'VE will now state two propositions
bearing on economy of production.
First. while the pig is not considered
primarily grazing animal. from the
fact that he cannot be expected to
make gains and grow fat II turned
onto common pasture grass like cut
tie, sheep or mules. yet. as . matter
of fact the pig will make better re-
turns for the amount Of grass eaten
than any other farm animal. More
over. the pasture win increase the
emciency and value of the grain fed
In connection with II. The second
proposition is this: The pig is . grass
feeder and will eat too much of rich
feeds. as grain. more tnan he can
use economically, more than he can
digest well. consequently greater
gains from . given amount Of corn
are obtained II the pig is fed less than
he can or viii eat. This statement
applies with especial force In cases Of
q long feedlng period. The two prOpo-
sitions just announced. are brought
out in tn, following report of tests
made at the Wisconsin station, six
lots OF pigs being used:
Lot I. full fed. in q dry lot, gained
lis pounds per day and used 537
pounds of corn in making 100 pounds
of gain.
Lot 2, full fed. on clover pasture.
gained 1.30 pounds per day. and used
AT pounds of corn in making 100
pounds of gain.
Lot 3. three-fourths full, on clover
pasture, gained 1.2O per day and used
377 pounds of corn In making 100
pounds of gain.
Lot 4. One-half full. clover pasture.
gained 81 pounds per day and requir-
ed 352 pounds of corn to make 100
pounds of gain.
Lot 5, One-fourth full, clover pas
ture. gained "a pounds per day, and
required 243 pounds of corn to make
100 pounds of gain.
Lot 5. no gain, clover pasture,
gained .36 pounds per day.
In lot 2 there is sudden drop over
lot in the amount of corn required.
But in lot there is a still larger
drop. Nearly three bushels less of
corn is required to produce 100 pounds
Of gain over dry lot feeding. For
growing hogs q still larger reduction
Of corn is advisable. The rate of gain
is slower. but it is vastly cheaper. 1t
is however wise practice to full feed
for the last 30 days before market.
