Younn GuIIs seasick.

A sportsman at Moosehead lake
found some young gulls, too small to
fly, and took them into his canoe The
birds at first seemed to enjoy the nov
ell experience, but soon became as sea-
sick as any landsman. After each
had sacrificed his latest meal to the
sea myths, the sportsman took rfty
on them and put them back into sae
water, where they at once settled
down as well and contented as If they
had never left it

An exchange very truthfully says;
Whips are undoubtedly good things
in their places, but the hands of some
people that drive horses is not the
place for them. How frequently IL
occurs that horses are whipped for
being afraid of some object. The man
who does this is fool, and should be
debarred by law from ever driving a
horse. Fear of the object which he
has had no opportunity to examine
and become familiar with, combined
with terror of the pain inflicted by the
whip, and associating the two to-
gether, will render the horse more
than ever when he next
encounters the object of his dread"

The great Industrial combinations
show the farmers the way to get all
they deserve out of their farm prod
ucts.
1t is a pleasant task to record the
fact that the farmers of the United
States are gradually diversifying their
farming, paying moresattention to in
tensive methods of cultivation and
preparing generally to grow more and
better produce on less area. This
tendency is visible everywhere, and it
VIII be accelerated as our population
increases from year to year, bringing
our consumptive capacity up to our
present productive capacity.

The species of currant from which
our cultivated varieties originated are
probably native. of northern Europe,
as we do not find them mentioned by
any of the old Greek and Roman
writer's who were generally SO par
ticular to name every fruit known IN
their day. The English name currant,
or conans, as they were formerly
called, was given them because of
their. resemblance to the little
"Zante grape" which is called Cor
NTH. The black, red and white cur
rants. although known to the inhabi-
tants of northern Europe for centuries,
attracted but very little attention
until within the past one hundred
years. Turner, in 1857, does not
name them in his list of cultivated
fruits Guarde Of 1897, called the
currant- a smooth-stemmed goose
berry. t

When the weather is favorable
everything about the farm should be
set in order before the time comes
to 90 at the farm work in real earnest.
The yard should be raked and all
trash burned up. The trash in the
garden should be gathered up and
everything gotten ready for early
planting. and especially should every
thing be gathered up and burneds in
the form of trash which is found in
the orchard.

Be careful this year in harvest time
and get the wheat and oats shocked
up good We don't know how much
rain we. may have before we get our
threshing done. Some men can't
shock wheat right. Maybe they'll
make. good hands. on the binder
Wheat harvest doesn't last long on
the average farm, but if you can see
that a day longer will make better
work, take it by all means.

HORSE NOTES.

Do not forge. that. fly nets and
muslin covers are due to these hard
working animal friends of ours during
fly time.
1t is the horse smooth at all gaits
and that carries himself like a gentle
man, and who is balanced at all rates
of speed, that is coming in vogue.
Moderate work does not injure the
mare or colt; in fact. it is beneficial,
but judgment must be used.
Always speak to your horse when
you go near him.

HANNA REMAINS
ABOUT THE SAME
is SUFFERING FROM GRIPPE AND
GREAT PHYSICAL EXHAUSTION,
ANALYSIS OF BLOOD is BEING
MADE BY PHYSICIANS.

Washington, February f.-There was no
distinct change today in the condition
of Senator Hanna, who is suffering from
the la grippe, and great physical exhaus-
ton In their morning report attending
physicians said there were no alarming
symptoms and tonight they express the
belief that If there are no untoward de-
velopments in the case, the senator will
recover in a reasonable time.
Tonight after the night consultation of
the physicians DIR. Rixey made the fol-
lowing brief statement:
There Is no change in Senator Hanna S
condition since the morning report He
was resting well at o'clock. A blood
examination is being made and report
will be made at o'clock tomorrow morn
ing. If everything goes all right from
now on, we will have Senator Hanna up
In a week and send him away to recuper-
ate"
DIR. Rixey ascribes the irritation which
had set up in his patients stomach to
the resulting effects of the grippe. DIR.
Rixey does not anticipate that the exam
ination of Senator Hannas blood will
show the presence of typhoid. If 1t does,
however he explained that It would be
only in an irregular" FORM The blood
examination was determined on, he said.
as precautionary measure with the
view to ascertaining the presence of any
suppuration anywhere.
DIR. Rixey said that Mr.. Hanna by no
means had exhausted his strength.
The senator is unable to take any solid
food, and today his nourishment has
been confined to milk. He is in conse-
quence very much weakened His pulse
tonight is said to be normal with tenn
perature slightly over 100. This is about
two degrees above normal
