PRINCE MATHlrDE DEAD.
All France Mourns the Loss Of a
Favorite.

Paris.-Princess Mathilde, the only
daughter OF Prince Jerome Bonaparte
is dead. Shortly before the princess
expired, ex-Empress Eugene and Prin.
cess Clothilde visited the bedside.
The death of Princess Mathilde has
caused sorrow throughout France, not
only because she was one of the last
Of the Napoleons, but because she was
always known as ''the good princess. 4"
Prince Jerome Bonaparte arranged
marriage between his daughter and
Louis Napoleon, but without success.
The pretender, who later became en-
peror, caused the-breaking on of the
match and this rupture was followed
by Princess Mathilde's marriage to
Count Demidorff, a@'rich Russian.
While they were in St. Petersburg
Emperor Nicholas conceived great
affection for the princess and gave her
a decree of divorce when she was no
longer able to live with her husband.

Selling Turkeys,

The largest and best turkeys bring
the most money. But don't sell
them all because you are greedy for
money and keep inferior stock for
breeders. The breeding stock should
be selected from earliest matches. Re
sure they are healthy in every way.
They should not be overgrown. Me-
dunn sized turkeys, with well rounded
bodies and large through the breast
nave strong vital organs and will be
round satisfactory for breeding the
coming season.

to this by rivets or welding. The
legs should be turned out at the bot
tom so they won't sink into the
ground. The height of the legs should
be about twelve inches. 1 prefer
riveting, as it is SO much easier done
and can be done on the farm, while
If the legs are welded on it will have

Bai1ing Shredded Corn. Sra
Since it has been demonstrated that
corn slower is economically shredded
much of this work is being done and
it has been noticed that considerable
of this shredded stover is being put
on to the market in sections where
considerable feed has to be bought.
OF course this baling is done by men
who are familiar with baling hay,
but there is no reason why the farm
er cannot do 1t himself if he Is To-
Gated near a market, where there is
likely to be demand for the slower
put up in such manner. Where
there is shortage. of the hay crop or
Of crops used by stock as roughage
there is likely. to be a market for
the baled slower =.
Care must be used, however, to
have 1t properly cured before it is
baled. 1t should be cured in the
shock as much as possible and then
finished in the barn. After the stow
er is shredded it will usually sweat
some and when this is over it is fit
to bale. 1t is advised that one look
into the conditions near at home and
see what the opportunities are for
market for baled corn stover.-St.

Catching Sheen.

A sheep should never be caught by
its wool. This method not fonly
causes the animal unnecessary pain,
but in the case of fat sheep, that are
to be killed, it does much harm to
the joint Of mutton that lies under
meath where the wool was pulled. 1t
causes dark bruise just in the same
manner as our bodies become discol-
ored from being bruised. A Califor-
MIA sheepman advises that the proper
way to catch a sheep is to take it
either by the hind leg just above the
gambrel joint, or by putting the hand
underneath its jaw or neck. In using
crook it is important that the sheep
are not caught below the gambrel
joint as injury to the leg is liable
to result from this.-New England

Doubling the Yields.

There are but few farmers, compar-
ed with the whole number who do
not plant larger acreage then they
can attend to profitably, the conse-
quence being smaller crops in proper
ton to cost than should be the case.
Instead of forty bushels Of corn per
acre the farmer should secure eighty
bushels. The smaller yield is more
expensive than the larger, while the
time expended on twenty acres is
much greater than on ten, the manure
also being distributed over too large
q surface to permit of any portion of
the crop receiving a sufficiency Of
plant food. If the expense and labor
bestowed on twenty acres could be
concentrated on ten, the yields would
be doubled, ard leave the farmer ten
acres on which to grow some other
crop. In periods Of drouth the farmer
who puts his work on the smaller plat
will give it better cultivation and save
his crop, while other farmers may not
be SO fortunate. Intensive culture
leads to systematic rotation of crops,
and the land will be improved by
diversity Of crops. All farmers have
manure, but they derive little benefit
therefrom, because they endeavor to
apply it over too much land. Give
the land the plant food and it will re-
pay for all expense Observation-Disclosures

Roots for Hog Cholera.


The claim has been made that II
hogs are fed regular rations of root
crops such feeding will prevent chol.
era. The statement is too broad for
while it is admitted that roots will
do much to keep the hog in good con.
dition, preserving the animals vital
ity and enabling it to fight off dis.
ease, such rations would be of NO
avail if the animals were surrounded
by everything conducive to the dread
disease, such as filthy pen and a
more filthy yard, damaged grain for
food and impure drinking water. AT.
ter an experience of more than a quar-.
ter OF century in swine-raising, 1 be-
deve that cholera is due wholly to
filthy quarters and the other condi-
lions just mentioned. True, the dis
ease is contagious or more properly
infectious. but even then few hogs
will be afflicted if they have been
properly fed aud housed. The feeding
OF roots Is advisable and by all means
practice 1t, but do not consider it a
cure for cholera or even preven-
tive--Indianapolts News

This recent examination into Nor
monism is bringing out some pecul-
lar and interesting incidents along
various lines. In commenting or the
matter of divorces and the relation
sustained between them and polyg-
amy the Chicago Tribune has the
following article:
While we are searching the recess
ses of u chaste souls for words to
express our shudderIng horror of
simultaneous polygamy as practiced
by the Mormons, we might to our
CONSERVATION find that we had been
providing our enemies with words
most Internationally applicable to
consec 1tive polygamy as practiced by
ourselves. Father Sherman said the
other day that in the United States
during the last twenty years there
had been 300, 600 divorces. Father
Sherman Stands against a background
which might we'll lend him an aspect
OF authority. Fifteen hundred years
ago when turbulent %barbarians set
tied within the confines of the Rom

that coerced the vagrant lust of the
barbarian heart and bound one WON.
an to n man until death should
them part. Today, when the sacra-
ment of marriage is threatened, not
so much by savage toi%sterousness of
passion as by the frivolity and insin-
certify of men and women to whom
mistaken belief has become impos-
sible, it is the Catholic church that
still refuses to make a single conces-
sion to %legalized promiscuity, and
that still keeps unblemished the
ideal of an indessoluble spiritual
union between mar and wife. If
VT cannot subscribe to the theology
of the Catholic church in this mat
ter, neither can we fail to subscribe
to its practical morality. The Smoot
case ought to give a tremendous
impetus to the demand for a uniform
federal divorce law. The easy rout
to consecutive polygamy ought to be
beset with more obstacles. The
voice of the whole Christian COM
munity ought TO become as clear and
emphatic as the voice of the Catholic
church. --u.~.

Doland Times Record: The city
council Of Mitchell has formerly
rendered the state the use OF their
new city hall to be used by state OIL
GERS In case the capital is located at
that place. The new hall is located
in the center of a block of wooden
building and the voters will never
consent to have the records removed
and placed in such a fire trap. They
are much safer where they are, a
block away from any other building.
Brer. Doty, who penned the above
misrepresentation, hasn't the faint
est idea of where the city hall is To-
Gated in Mitchell, il he had he would
never have told the deliberate false
hood that the above sets forth. He
got his idea from N. B. Reed, OF the
Wooosocket Herald, who first started
the falsehood in order to help out
the Pierre cause. There is not a
block Of wooden buildings within
600 feet Of the city ball building,
which stands on the southwest corn
eI Of one of the business blocks. The
buildings that the Record man refers
to is a row of brick and stone build
ings which stand 20 feet east Of the
city hall building. This is a sample
Of the alleged truthfulness Of the
Pierre supporters. They claim that
Mitchell is misrepresenting the res
ervation. Wouldn't it bea good idea
for those Pierre fellows to get out
side of their glass houses before they
commence TO Shy stones at their
neighbors?

John Longstaff objects because
Ralph Wheelock in his Minneapolis
Tribune article gives Mitchell the
preference over Pierre in capital
matters. John should not worry
over that, because Ralph was an old
resident Of Mitchell and he can be

his old towns behalf. Brer. Long

for his kind words If he was support

him like Huron was going to be the

with poisoning Miss Nelson. Good
ner claims that he is satisfied that
Miss Nelson poisoned herself with
the idea that later she could bring
action against Mrs. Dye. This
