chatter at him after he had taken his
seat in the high chair Not being in a
conversational frame of mind. the
portly Governor thought 1t would be
a good plan to feign that he was deaf
and dumb. SO he responded by signs
to everything the bootblack said.
This proceeding naturally caused the
desired silence on the part of the Ital-
ian, and the Governor was wrapped in
his own thoughts, when suddenly n
little newsboy ran up and asked him
If he wanted a paper. Before he could
reply the bootblack turned to the boy
and said:
you nota talka to him. He deaf"
The newsboy looked him over, says
the Governor, and then remarked in a
loud voice:
well, say, he's fat old hog, amt
he?"
The Governor, who weighs 300
pounds or more. relishes telling the
story, but he adds feelingly that he
kept up his bluff after hearing the
brutal comment of the newsboy.

Planting a Peach Orchn ard.

Were l to set a large peach orchard
l would prefer June budded trees. The
roots are all in bunch, and the tree
can be easily started right and kept
so. A great many persons In starting
an orchard are In too big hurry.
They must have trees to come into i'm.
mediate bearing, and so go to the nurs-
cries and pick out the larger trees,
overlooking the fact that the larger
and older the tree the greater shock
1t receives. Years ago 1 set a large
orchard from nursery rows two. three
and four years old, and in five years
the two-year-olds were the largest,
thrftiest and best In every way. When
set, the roots were all there, and the
trees hardly stopped growing, while
the older trees had mangled and cut
roots, with too much body and limbs,
and were more or less stunted. BE
careful in setting an orchard, If roots
are mangled, to cut them Off smooth
and trim most of the limbs or top.-

Don't Forget Flowing.

When one is growing Il diversified
lot of crops there is little time for
choosing seasons in which to do the
necessary branches of the work. In
many localities there is Il rooted OBJ
lection to fall blowing, and in some
cases these objections may be sound,
although in the majority of cases there
are three good arguments in favor of
fall blowing to one against it. There
is more time to do the work, and as a
result ii is better done in the fall Fall
plowed soil can be worked earlier in
the spring, because it Is open and
warns up earlier. III the normal sea-
son one can plant in fall-plowed
ground a week or ten days earlier
than in ground plowed in the spring.
In some sections where 1t does not
seem advisable to harrow after fall
blowing, and especially when sod land
has been turned under, disc harrow
can be run over the ground to adyan-
tage, leaving the work of the smooth
ing harrow to be done in the spring.

A Horse Mnludy.

Most farmers are familiar with the
horse that puffs and wheezes at his
work. The disease Is technically
known as roaring" and Is said to be
similar to asthma In humans. There
is really no cure for 1t. but trouble
may be greatly alleviated by treat
ment. and especially by proper feed
ing. If the disease Is not so seated
that the animal cannot do farm work,
then that given it should be light and
the feed should consist Of little hay,
and this wet each time: feed mainly
on grains. Take one drachm iodide of
potassium and mix with One-half
drachm nux vomica. Give this dose
twice a day for two or three weeks
during each bad attack, and during
the period let the work Of the horse
be that which does not require much
speed. The care and treatment lndi-
Gated Will relieve the animal greatly,
although 1t Is doubtful II it will ever
amount to much for steady work.

Home Made Grain sieve.

Where there is only a small quantity
of grain to clean on farm, tanning

luxury. Then there are often times
when but small lot of grain Is to be

convenient size is secured and handles
fastened to either side for ease in han

Frames of proper size and weight
are covered with wire netting with
meshes of various size. The upper

LOVE ITS ONLY CREED,
Church at Cohasset, Mass, Where All
Creeds May Worship.

At Cohasset, Mass, Is a church
which has no creed except that contain

of its home, and which was established
to admit to religious worship and SER

regardless of what it may be. 1t owes
It's existence to Col. Albert A. Pope,
who erected it as a memorial to his
son, Charles Under Pope, who died
in 1899 before reaching maturity, and
whose religious ideas are embodied in
its creed.

THOMAS EWING. NUN tlit Sltlutul
of American history finds so many.
Born near West Liberty, Ohio Coun-
ty, Va, Dec. %, 1889, he was the son
of a revolutionary father. 1t was in
the region of Athens County, Ohio,
then unsettled, that he was reared.
His sister taught him to read, and in
the evenings he studied the few books
at his command. In his Goth year he
left his home and worked in the Kama
wha Salt establishments, pursuing his
studies at night by the aid of the fur
mace fires. He remained there till he
had earned enough money to clear
from debt the farm his father had
bought in 1892, and had qualified him
self to enter the Ohio University at
Athens, where, in 1915. he received
the first degree of \. b. that was ever
granted in that section. He then stud
led law in Lancaster, was admitted to
the bar in 1916, and practiced with
success for fifteen years. In 1881 81
he served as United States Senator
from Ohio, having been chosen as a
Wing. He supported the protective
tariff system of Clay, and advocated
a reduction in the rates of postage a

and the revenue collection bill, known
as the force bill.'
Senator Ewing opposed the removal
of deposits from the United States
Bank, and introduced a bill for the
settlement of the Ohio boundary Ques-
ton, which was passed in 1886. Dur
ing the same session he brought for
ward a bill for the reorganization of
the general land office, which was
passed and he also presented a me-
mortal for the abolition Of slavery.

Selection Of Young Dairy Stock.

Selection OF Young Dairy stock.
Many persons who claim to have
pretty good idea Of what dairy ami
NAL should be, still adhere to the old
notion that it should be deep in the

as mature cows are concerned, there
may be something In this, If we add

young calf, the undeveloped heifer,
and the sire as well. Many good cows
lack depth Of flank. nor are all heifers
Of great promise and bulls noted as
great sires specially remarkable for

generally the case. A deep flank Is
generally accompanied by level or

Over Feeding the Horse.

While most horses on the farm are
properly fed, and in some cases under
fed rather than overfed, there are
farmers who are not judicious feeders.
and when the animal gets out of or
der they depend upon condition pow
ders to set 1t straight instead Of regu-
lating the feed. 1t may not be gener-
ally known that a prolonged use of
condition powders will produce indi-
gestion Of a most violent type. Horses
that are fed on grains largely. and
who do not perform Il great deal of la
Dor, are quite liable to Indigestion, and
the easiest way to cure the trouble is
to cut off the grain for week or more
and feed exclusively Of bran mashes
and good hay.

In July, 1896, the Secretary of the
Treasury issued what was known as
the specie circular" This directed
receivers in land office to accept pay
ments only in gold, silver or treasury
certificates, except from certain class
es of persons for limited time. Sen
atOr Ewing brought in a bill to annul
this circular, and another to make it
unlawful for the Secretary to make
such discrimination, but these We're
not carried. After the expiration of
his term he resumed the practice of
law. Ewing became Secretary of the
Treasury in 1871, under Harrison, and
In 1919 accepted the newly created
portfolio of the interior, under Taylor
and organized that department. Among
the measures recommended in his first
report. Dec. 3, 1919, were the estab-
lishment of mint near the California
gold mines, and the construction of a
railroad to the Pacific.
When Thomas Corwin became Sec
rotary of the Treasury in 1880, Ewing
was appointed to succeed him in the
Senate. During this term he opposed
the fugitive slave law. Clay's compro-
mise bill, reported bill for the estab-
lishment of a branch mint In Calfor-
mia, and advocated a reduction In post
age. and the abolition of slavery in the
District of Columbia. He retired from
public life in 1851 and again resumed
his law practice in Lancaster He was
delegate to the Peace Congress of
1861.
During the Civil War Ewing gave,
through the press and by correspond
ence and personal interviews, his coun-
sci and influence to the support Of the
national authorities. While he de-
voted much of his time to political
subjects. the law was his favorite
study and pursuit. He early won and
maintained throughout his life unques-
tionable supremacy at the Ohio bar,
and ranked in the Supreme Court of
the United States among the foremost
lawyers OF the nation.
In 1929, just after his fathers death
General William T. Sherman, then a
boy of 8, was adopted by Mr.. Ewing
who afterward appointed him to the
United States Academy, and in 1850
Sherman married Ellen, the daughter
| of his benefactor.

After deep probing the author
brought out:

Then the poets aloofness was again
touched upon.
He was forever pacing the roads

composing poetry. He was terrible
