Mrs. Ashton, of New Albony, Ind,
according to an exchange, has been
the wife of four veterans of the civil
war, and has been granted pensions
as the widow of three of them. Com
missioner Ware has been investigating
her case. and finds that it is without
a parallel. Her first husband served
four years as private in an Indiana
regiment and contracted rheumatism
from which he died in 1876. Two years
later she applied for a pension, which
was granted, and she continued to
draw it until 1882, when she married
another veteran, and her pension
stopped. Husband No. lived for five
years. Upon his death she made her
second application, and was granted
a pension as his widow, which she
continued to draw until she marrIe,.
for the third time, when the pension
bureau was promptly notified of her
third matrimonial venture, and her
name was again dropped from the
rolls. In 1889 for the third time she
applied for a pension, representing
that husband No. ,, who was cap
tain. had died from wounds received in
ded to the list without delay because
experience had taught her how to
prepare her application and the evil
dence to sustain it; but in 1896 along
came Maj Ashton, also a union vet

new matrimonial alliance to the pen

we shall need and it will be cheaper
to build both at once than to build
a second later on. The place which
| have selected for the dry docks is
on the mainland across the channel
from the southern end of Ford's
Island. One of the dry docks will
be 750 feet long and the other $50
feet in length, and the gateway will

would be able to enter the docks4
Nothing will be put on Ford's Isl-

was only obtained that we might

which CROSSES the channel and l

have this removed, and also to have
some dredging done along different
parts of the shore line. The or

the plans, will be on Kuahua island.

CURE FOR BALKINESS.
It Consists OF = Little Trick BASED
Upon the. Scientific Theory Or
Brain Diversion.

For the benefit of those who have
been caused a great deal Of anxiety
by a balky horse, lost trains as well
as tempers, and even sometimes
ruined the horse, the next time they
have the experience to run across a
balky horse, no matter how bad he
is, let me tell you how to start him
SO times out of 100. OF course, it
may fail one time in hundred.
When a horse balls, no matter how
badly he, sulks or how ugly he 3is,
do not beat him; don't throw sand
in his ears; don't use a rope on his
forelegs, Or. even burn! straw under
him. Quietly go and pat him on the
head a moment; take a hammer or
even pick up "a stone in the street;
tell the driver to sit still, take his
lines, hold them quietly, while you
lift up either front foot; give each
nail a light tap and Aa good smart
tap on the frog; drop the. foot quick
ly, and then chirp to him to go. In
80 cases out of 100 the horse will go
right on about his business, but the
driver must keep his lines taut and
, not pull or jerk him back. IF I have
tried this once I have tried it 500
times, and !, every time Is havef sug-
gested it people have laughed and
even bet five dollars that could not
4 do it. So far have won every bet.
This may make you smile, but a
horse has more common sense than
most people are willing to give him
credit for The secret of this little
trick is simply diversion, am "a
firm believer that with kindness and
proper treatment horse can be

CEMENT, AND PLANK.
A Combination That Makes the SAT-
est and Best All-ArOund Floor
for Horses.

Replying to an inquiry concerning
the value of cement floors for horses,
Prof. w. j. Kennedy, of the Iowa ex-
pertinent station, says:
Cement floors are certainly valn-
able. in conserving all the manure,
but they, like most other floors, have
their faults. A cement floor is slip
perry, thus dangerous. It is also a
very cold floor during the winter
months. Furthermore, if used un-
der horses which have calks on their
shoes, it will soon wear out. The
best all-around floor for horse stable
is made of cement and plank. Ce-
ment the bottom, then put plank
frame on top of it. The planks
should be about four inches wide.
and placed an inch apart. Such a
floor will be warm, and at the same
time save all the liquid manure. The
plank should not be permanently fas-
tened in, better to have it so that
it may be raised up occasionally so
that the cement may be thoroughly
cleaned and sprinkled with some land
plaster. There is no kind of floor
so good for the horses feet as an
earth floor, but it is very hard to
keep such a floor in good condition:
Horses, especially if idle, will paw
the same, thus it will soon become
very uneven. 1t is also difficult to
keep the earth floor dry during wet
weather.

OUTDOOR SHEEP RACK.
It Is Crude In Construction. But Will
BE Found to BE a Very Valu-
able COntrivance.

& Frequently farmer wishes to feed
his sheep out of doors from the
lack Of barn space or when pastures
are furnishing a great amount Of
green, succulent food. and some hay
or dry fodder is useful to help regu-
late the bowels. We have had sew
.eral occasions when it seemed abso-
lutely necessary to feed some dry
fodder of some kind during the sum
mer to keep the sleeps system in
perfect working condition. During
the winter when straw is being fed
to sheep, a great deal Of carrying
can be done away with, if an outdoor
rack is built near the straw stack
and on pleasant days feed the sheep
in the yard. The number Of days
the sheep can be more easily accom-
modated out of doors will astonish

The Plum curculio.

Prof. F. M. Webster: The plum
curculto Is above ground as early as
August Of the same year that the eggs
are deposited in the plums, or early
peaches; they feed by puncturing
fruit, but deposit no eggs, and in the
fall seek woodlands If such are near
at hand, and If not, matted grass, In
which to pass the winter. They ap-
pear with the coming of spring, feed
ing on the buds and unfolding leaves,
but not depositing their eggs until
the plums get to be about the size of
peas. Now, there is but single brood
each year; you can only fight the
beetle itself, as the young matches in
the flesh Of the fruit. and only leaves
it to enter the ground. Mr.. Willard
Of Geneva, New York.. tells me that
his plum orchard always suffers worst,
and the curculio always appears first,
in that portion nearest adjoining
woodlands, and If no woods are near,
along roadways where there is much
matted grass. Much can be accom-
plished In fighting this pest by burn
Ing fallen leaves and matted grass in
winter or early spring. AS soon as
the buds begin to swell, spray with
Bordeaux mixture for plum rot, and
put In four or five ounces Of paris
green to each fifty gallons, for plum
curculio. Soon after the bloom falls
and the young fruit starts, spray again
with the same mixture; this time for
the plum curculio, plum rot and shot
hole fungus, as you can now hit all
three with the same application. In
week or ten days, spray again with
the same mixture. and then for the
last application you can omit the paris
green, as you then spray for the
plum rot.
