MAKE RELIGION AN UMBRELLA.
R~ector's Ready Wit Rebukes Golfers
Who Enter Church to Escape
d

When the bishop of Colorado, DR.. Sanford
Olmsted, was rector of the Church of st.
Asaph, at Bala, Pa, his ready wit made him
at once the admiration and the fear of the
people of the neighberhood, says the New
York Tribune.
There is a fashionable golf and riding club
at Bala, with grounds that adjoin those Of
the little church, and it happened On a
certain afternoon, when DIR. Olmsted was
holding a special service, that a number of
golfing clubmen were caught in a drenehing
shower, and hurried for shelter into the
church.
They entered with a great %clatter of their
golf sticks, and with much suppressed chuck
ling and hard breathing. Their noise and
theit gay sporting attire made a Earring
note on the simplicity of the service. But
DR.. Olmsted paid no heed to them till the
end of his sermon. Then he said, with a
smile:
I'VE have heard CT people who make a
cloak of religion. Now we know that there
are others who make of religion an umbrel.

the Merits of Cuticura Remedies in the
Treatment of Humours Of the

what remarkable cases. l had a
number OF skin tumours- small
ones-ons my arms which had never
given me serious trouble ; but about
two years ago n came on my
throat. At first it was only about as
large as a pinhead, but, as it was in
a position where my collar, if not
just right, would irritate it, it o
became very sensitive and began to
grow rapidly. Last spring it was
as large, if not 1arger, than a bean.
A little unusual irritation of my
collar started it to swelling, and in
a day or two it was as large as
half an orange. l was very much
alarmed, and was at a loss to de-
termine whether it was a carbuncle
or a malignant tumor.

HERE AND THERE.

A north Texas farmer says that
from eight acres of alfalfa he 81
cured a thousand dollars worth OF
feed during the past year.
1t is said that a Rhode Island
farmer has succeeded in raising hogs
for market at a profit, thus showing
that hogs can be grown proftably IN
close confinement.
"a hen, after laying an egg needs
a drink of water" says a poultry:
writer. They also need water before
laying.
If a busting box is kept for the
chickens it should have as much sun
shine as possible without exposing IT
to rain. An old hen never enjoys her
self better than when shutting dust
and turning on her side in the hottest
August sun.
All the entomologists who have
studied the boil weevil, agree that by
no means can we hope for its exterm-
nation. 1t is here to stay, and all
we can hope for is TO adopt such
measures as win enable the farmers
to n cotton notwithstanding the
weevil.
David Rankin, a farmer of Tarkio,
Mo. last year fed and sold $4,000
worth of cattle and S111,500 worth of
hogs on the products of his
farm. His motto is: Thou shalt not
sell corn He might add to this wise
maxim-nor any other feed.
Some of our readers will besur-
prised after reading the poultry liter
azure of the day, to learn that.it is
possible to raise chickens and have
hens Law without feeding cut alfalfa
hay or green cut bones, and yet this
has been done ever since we a re-
member.
-"The fancy poultry mans lot is
one continued round of pleasure"
saws an exchange. We heard of a case
once where this would not apply. for
the fancy poultry man kept thirteen
different breeds, and he stood the
mental strain as long as he could and
then went off and drowned himself.
Those who wish to- raise more
than "a few chickens" should have an
incubator. and also a brooder. Hens
are not always ready to sit when You
want them to-; the incubator is ever
ready. and one incubator is no more
trouble 10 manage than two or three
hens-and often less trouble than one

He also needs to be educated to

chant. But this opens a field too
wide for present discussion. We all
know too well that the farmer has
long been suffering because other
parties fixed the prices of what he
sold, as well as of what he bought.
The-farmer should be educated that
he may stand socially equal to those
