is just as heard it:
The Bear is represented by the four
stars which compose the bowl OF the
DIpper. and behind It are seven mighty
hunters 0 afraid to follow n at.

These seven hunters form the handle
of the Dipper. Close beside the sec

Just above these hunters is a group
OF stars. something like a pocket in

gIehanded, the Chickadee calls the
other hunters TO help, and together the
seven set out upon the trail. The
Chickadee. with his pot, is placed be-

he may not lose his way.
Now the hunters are these, and they

Peaches as Filters.

When setting out an apple orchard
for commercial purposes, trees should
be spaced thirty feet apart each way.
AS filters we may use peach trees,
which are shorter lived than apples.
In many instances the apple is used
for filters, but for quick returns the
peach is preferable, as the apple is a
slower grower. The peach can fill the
place for a number of years without
coming into contact with the growth
of the apple. These peach trees, how
ever, should be closely pruned in order
not to check the development of the
apple trees. AS the peach is naturally
short lived, we may harvest many good
crops before removing them. For com.
mercial apple growing we should plant
only the good keeping varieties, such as
York Imperial, Mammoth Black Twig
and Dutton. These apples will at all
times bring good prices, and the de.
mand is increasing annually. Not only
is the demand in the United States in
creasing, but Russia, Germany and
England are consuming increasingly Of
u American apples.-Inland Farmer.

A M~IDSHIPMAN DROWNED.
Boat With Five Capsizes OFF Naval
Academy-Attempts at Rescue.

Boat With Five Capsizes OFF Naval
Academy-Attempts at Rescue.
Annapolis, Md.-Midshipman Philip
Birmingham, of Wheeling, w. Va, a
member of the third class of the Ma
val Academy, was drowned about two
miles off the academy. He left the
academy dock in a sailing launch with
Midshipmen Anderson, Henderson.
Towers and Stevenson, all of the third
class. The boat was without a centre
board or air tanks, and, being caught
by a strong gust of wind, capsized and
sank immediately.
The five young men struggled in the
water for about twenty minutes be-
fore succor reached them from another
academy boat containing several other
nidshipmen. AS the rescuing sailboat
came near oars were thrown to the
struggling men, but Midshipman Brit
tingham was unable to grasp his. Mid
shipman G. T. Blackburn, who was in
the second boat, plunged overheard,
and in his attempt to rescue his drown
ing classmate was dragged under.
Both came to the surface, and Mid
shipman r. r. Steuart went to the as
sistance of Blackburn. Their COM
6ined efforts proved unavailing, and
Birmingham sank in seventeen feet of
water. The other four midshipmen
were picked up and the rescuers Owed
overheard in repeated but unsuccessful
efforts to find the body.
Midshipman Birmingham was nine
teen years old, and a son of the Rev.
Joseph Birmingham.

Manure For Glover Lands.

Considerable has been written in this
department in favor of spreading the
manure on the farm during the winter
as fast as it is made, provided the
weather will permit. Undoubtedly
this method Of %disposing of the
for the benefit Of the crop applies to
any soil that is reasonably level, but
its good effects are more noticeable
on clover lands than elsewhere in the
experience of the writer. On every
open day during the winter the ma
nure is carried from the barn and put
on the clover until such fields Lave re-
ceived all needed.
The result is that the clover gets an
early start and when it Is to be plowed
under for the corn crop, we follow clov-
er with corr in the plan Of rotation,
it Is two feet high and all that it has
gained from the MANURE is turned
back to the soil for the benefit Of the
succeeding crop. This is sensible ar
gument, is it not? Try it and see how
much greater profit is made from the
manure supply.

AGRICULTURAL.
Feeding Corncob Meal.


1t Is doubtful if there is any value.
from a standpoint Of nutrition, in corn
cob meal, its chief value being that
when fed with the meal of the corn
1t prevents the impaction of the latter
in the stomach of the animal, some
thing that must be done when large
quantities Of corn are fed. 1t is not
advised that the mixed product of the
market be bought, but If one wishes
to determine for himself the value of
the mixture with his particular herd,
have the corn on the cob ground and
then mix it with corn not ground
with the cob, in varying proportions
until the proportion is obtained upon
which the stock gives the best results.
This is the only safe way of feeding it.

A Surplus of Mavors

A surplus of Mayors is troubling

came about i'll this way: For some
time previous to polling for the election
of town officers there had been discus.
slons as to whether the law required
the filing of tickets by the Town Clerk.
William T. Gardner, known as the
father of the new Jefferson-Lincoln
party, thought it was necessary to file
the names of candidates eight days
previous to the election. and endeav-
Ored to put a strong ticket in the field.
He was unsuccessful in getting the
candidates he wanted, so he made up a
kind of burlesque ticket and filed it.
The Republicans made up a ticket two
days before the election, but it met
with much adverse criticism. and on
the night before election a large num-
Der of Democrats and Republicans got
together, held a primary and nominal
ed a Citizens ticket.

IN HER COFFIN SO HOURS.
Little Mabel Fearing Narrowly Es-
capes Burial Alive at Custer, S. D.
Funeral Stopped by Doctor on Discover
ing Signs of Life-Chi1d- Pronounced
Dead Was Found to Be Alive.

Custer, s. D.-After lying t~hirty-six
hours in her burial casket, little Mabel
Fearing, the five-year-old daughter of
G. NJ. Fearing, was revived and is well
on the road to recovery.
The child was saved through the in
t%ervention of DIR. E. S. Norton, a rela-
tive, who was at the house to attend
her funeral. His professional instinct
warned him that the rosy cheeks and
unchanged appearance of the little
n marked an unnatural condition,
and he refused to permit the casket to
be closed.
He called other physicians, and every
test known to science was made to de-
termine whether or not the child was
still living. The results were salts
factory and al effort was made at
once to revive her.
Fol several hours the physicians
worked increasingly, using artificial res.
piration combined with electrical stim.
ulation and the injection of salt and
strong heart stimulants.
At last signs of returning animation
were noted. There had never been ac-
tual rigor mortis, and after the first
two hours the limbs Of the child re-
Taxed, the lips parted, and there was
noted upon the face Of a mirror a
faint cloud of breath. Half an hour
later the stethoscope indicated a re-
turn of strong heart action.
An hour later the child was in the
arms of her mother, who sobbed hys-
terically above the form Of the child
that by that time would have been
consigned to the grave but for the won
derful skill of the physicians who at
tended her.
The supposed death of the child was
due to typhoid fever. The physicians
are convinced she will recover. The
fever stage has been passed and with
care the child will soon be in an ad-
yanced convalescent stage.

MISSED.

(The reply of a lonely husband whose

you miss me, dear?')
"Do [ miss you, dear?" you ask me,
''Since you've journeyed far away?
Am | conscious of your absence?"
All, my treasure, l should say!
l have ceased to lock the windows
When | 60 to bed at night;
/ have ceased to care a cooky
Whether everything's all right.
If the kitchen gas keeps burning
| don't know it and don't care;
Meath the bed thieves may be hiding,
I've sworn off looking there.
Darling, l have ceased to bother
With the bird and with the cat,
They're attended to by Maggie,
Who has full charge of the fat.
/ have ceased, my dear, to worry,
When the busy day has fled
And | get to feeling sleepy,
l just tumble into bed.
No more peering round in corners,
No more nightly chores for me;
From a score of vexing duties
For the present | I'M free.
Do 1 miss you, dear, you ask me?
Yes, oh yes, my hearts delight;
I've quit getting up and hunting.
After burglars in the night.
If it storms l lie and listen
To the drops splash on the pane,
Never minding if the curtains
And the rug are soaked with rain.
In your absence 1 am getting
Gladly rested, sweetheart mine;
You will hardly recognize me,
People say l look 50 fine.
Maggie has your sofa pillows
All in her room now, my dear
Yes, | miss you every moment,
I'm so free from bother here.

In central New York there is a four
t~een-year-old orchard that has always
been managed on an exceedingly sem
sible and profitable plan. The branches
are trained to the spreading habit
which opens the tree to the air and
sun. For about eight years the or
chard was plowed and planted to
crops, which require thorough cult
walton like corn, beans and potatoes.
Then 1t was seeded down with alfalfa
and 1noculated. This developed a very
thick sod which is cut three times a
year for hay. This hay is fed to stock
and then the is all hauled
back again and spread around the
trees. Under this system the orchard
has made.a very remarkable growth.

Dairy Wisdom.


Results simply show what kind Of
a man is behind the cow-so look out.
Cows should be fed and MIXED at
the same time each day and in the
same order. They quickly form habits,
and any interruption OIL disappoint-
ment is quickly noticed by the lessened
product in the pail.
The food of heifers must be such
that it will nourish all parts of the
body. They may manage to live on
hay, but they will be stunted in size
and will never equal their dams,
though the sire may be Of a line Of
the best butter makers. Besides that,
their constitutions will be weakened.
and they will be subject to every cpl
demic that comes around.
Stretch p wire the whole length of
the stable behind the COWS. Attach a
snap with a ring on this wire and hang
the lantern in the snap. 1t can then
he pushed along where the most light
is needed. A similar wire should be
placed in front of the cows. A lantern
should never be placed on the floor.
If accidentally overturned a disastrous
fire is the inevitable result.
Too much stress cannot be put upon
the name in which cows are treated
in the stables. A COW soon comes to
like, or dislike, a person who cares
for her, according to the way in which
she is handled. Pet your cows, talk
to them, calling them by name. They
soon learn to come at call and to ex-
pect a pat Or a gentle stroke. Good
feed will be lost On a COW that is cru
ely or carelessly treated. A differ
ence OF twenty-five per cent. in pro-
uuc' mas olteh been known to take
