The Horse Has It's Rights.

The automobile and good roads ques-
tions seems to be prominent among the
issues of the day. They are about to be
blended into one question, however, for
the better the road, the more automo-
bilists there will be. Some farmers up
hold the auto side, but the majority are
against it. If more autos will improve
the condition of rural roads, they are to
be encouraged, but if they wait for the
good roads to come first, they should be
discouraged. There is no doubt, how
ever, that the automobile is nuisance
on the public rural roads. They make it
unsafe for child or lady to drive alone.
The horse was on the ground first, and
will not leave for the "steam horse"
without some confiict.-Rural World.

vENTlLATING A COW BARN.
Simple Plan That Can Be Made to
Work in Any Stable by Any
one Handy with Tools.

A basement stable barn with which
we are acquainted having space for al
least so cows, has been ventilated the
past winter so that the air seems sweet
and fresh all the time by putting in
two f1ues two feet square, made prac-
tically alright from matched boarding
and setting them so they start about
a foot above the stable floor and ex-
tend upward to the roof and project
three or four feet. A little roof over
the ventilator keeps out snow or rain.
A handkerchief held near the opening
is strongly drawn towards the opening

Whitewash for Cow Stables.

Whitewash is a valuable adjunct in
keeping the cow stable clean Our milk
men have learned this long ago, at least
those that have to sell milk to exacting
buyers. Visiting the farms in the Yicin-
ity of Elgin, Ill, one is struck with the
frequency of the whitewashed stables.
One of the great advantages of this wash
is that it shows dirt readily, and when
it has been applied a stable cannot get
very dirty without the attention Of the
owner being called painfully to that
fact. AS a germicide whitewash ranks
high, and dairymen should use it more
than they do.-Farmers' Review.

ward current of the air. This opening
is placed near the floor so that the int
pure air which is heavier will be taken
out by the strong draft first. This shaft
should extend up through the roof that
the foul air may escape outside of the

will not chill the cows or Immediately

serving it's purpose several small
square boxes are made and set in the
side of the barn like studding with an
opening into the box from the outside
near the bottom of the stable and an
opening into the barn at the top of the
stable. Thus there is a current OF pure
air constantly entering into the barn
without injury to the cows, and as fast
as it becomes impure is drawn up out

shafts to open or close the temperature

Thoueht She couldn't Live.

Moravia, N. Y, June 6-Mr. Renjainin
Wilson, highly respected resident of this
place, came very nearly losing his wife
and now that she is cured and restored
to good health his gratitude knows no
bounds. He says
My wife has suffered everything with
Sugar Diabetes. She has been sick four
years. She doctored with two good doc
tors but kept growing worse The doctors
said she could not live. She failed from
200 pounds down to $50 pounds. This

She used to have Rheumatism so bad
that 1T would raise great bumps all over
her body and this is all gone too.

those who suffer as my wife did. They
are all that saved her. We can't praise
them enough"

Fat in Cheese Production.

Skilled cheesemakers say that the
more the curd is stirred and agitated
the more it throws out fat, which later
is taken from the whey and made into
what is called whey butter. When the
amount of fat appearing in the whey is
large, it is sign that the curd is being
excessively stirred. The good cheese
maker tries to incorporate in the cheese
all the fat possible, as this improves the
quality of the cheese. Under proper
management of the curd the whey
should not test more than three-tenths
of one per cent. butter fat.

WEALTH MADE A PURSUIT
Few Who Have Won Competence
Are Disposed to Retire
from Business.

In the United States leaders in every
line of activity, in politics and business,
have been conspicuously prone to die,
as it is said, in harness, observes the
Bankers Magazine. But the list OF those
distinguished for their successful at
tainment of wealth and fame, who have
continued their activities long after the
advance of age and the diminutton of
physical strength must have warned
them of the approaching end, is very
long one. In the older countries of Eu-
rope, on whose civilization that OF the
United States is founded, 1t seems easier
for men who have more or less success
fully obtained the object they aimed at
to retire and enjoy freely the prizes they
have gained, although even there the old
barbaric struggle is in many cases kept
upto the end. Public opinion there, too,
is more tolerant of those who lay Off the
harness before being compelled to do so
by the decree of fate. In this country,
however there seems to exist in the
mind of the ordinary man certain con-
tempt for those who give up the strenu-
Gus paths of labor and ambition before
their strength has wasted away. The
successful men of the United States who
have sprung from the masses are imbued
with this opinion. Until within the last
25 years the idea of retiring from active
life and settling down to life in which
personal tastes and proclivities could
be followed was regarded as at least
eccentric.
There have always been two neces-
sary steps to be taken before retirement
from active life could with safety be &C
complished; one was the requirement OF
wealth and the other provisions for its
safekeeping. AS civilization progresses
the second and more important step can
be more easily managed. The individual
no longer has to depend upon his own
efforts to guard the store set aside for
his future support. The power of cor
porations, originally directed simply to
the accumulation of wealth, is now to a
very great extent applied to it's conserva-
ton
In Great Britain there has always been
a. wealthy leisure class, and naturally
manners and customs consequent on
such an association of wealth and
leisure. Public opinion is more tolerant
of man who wishes to do what he likes
with his own than it has yet become in
the United States The existence of
leisure class, able and willing to enjoy
their lives nationally and intelligently,
is check on the wilder exhibitions of
leisure on the part of suddenly acquired
wealth. 1t also holds out something be-
yond mere money getting as the goal OF
a successful life. 1t encourages retire
ment after reasonable fortune has been
gained and discourages to some extent
the piling up of exaggerated redundant
cy. The effect of more philosophical
view of life on the part of our own bust
ness men will tend to a more even dis
tribution of wealth and feveling of the
inequalities now so frequently pointed
out.

MAKING OVAL FLOWER BED.
No Other Shape Affords Quite So Much
Opportunity for Display of
Various Plants.
The simplest and most satisfactory
way to make an oval flower bed is that

shown in the cut.
Stakes are set at a
~ and b and an endless
10 cord, longer than
twice the distance
between the stakes,
nIaced around them. Then the slack Of
the cord is taken up by the stake e,
which is scratched across the surface OF
the ground as it is moved around the
two stationary stakes, after which the
apparatus may be removed. II the line
be traced before the ground is dug,
spade may be used at once; if after, the
mounding of the bed may be done with
out further delay. This method takes
less than a quarter of the time occupied
in the old way of sighting and the re-
suits are far more satisfactory. BY vary
ing the length of the cord or the dis
lance between the stakes and b, the
shape of the oval may be varied from
narrow to broad as desired.-M. G.

HEARD ON
FENDER ORDINANCE
Validity Of the Law Was
Questioned in Superior
Court Yesterday

The validity Of the fender ordinance
passed last year by City Council was
argued in Superior Court yesterday af-
ternoon, the question resolving itself
into whether City Council or the Street
and Sewer Commission IS vested with
authority to order street cars equipped
with tenders.
To obtain an early decision on the
mooted point, the controversy was sub
mitted to the court on a demurrer filed
Ia the action for damages brought by
the administrator OF Herbert Bullock
against the Wilmington City Railway
Company. The Bullock lad was killed
by car at Vandever avenue and Mar
ket street, and Robert G.. Harman and
~. Harvey Whiteman on behalf of the
plaintlff allege that the railway COM
pany was guilty Of negligence in that il
failed to comply with the ordinance
passed by Council requiring cars to
be equipped with tenders. In his de-
murrer Mr.. Hayes for the railway COM
pany denied the right Of Council to
pass a fender ordinance.
Should the ordinance be sustained
the damage suit will proceed. and
should It be declared invalid it viii be
a victory for the railway company.
Mr. Hayes contends that the question
TO be determined is whether City Coun-
ell or the Street and Sewer directors
have authority and jurisdiction over
and to regulate the use Of streets.
He read that portion of the city char
ter which gave Council jurisdiction.
over the streets OF the city. and the
passage in 1887 Of the law creating the
Street and Sewer Department which
became vested with all the powers to
regulate, control and use the highways,
streets, lanes. alleys and sewers that
formerly were vested in Council.
Mr.. Harman, who argued for the
plaintiff and therefore for the ordin-
ance. declared that if the contention Of
Mr.. Hayes be accepted literally it
might be well to abolish every co-ordi-
nate branch Of the municipality ex-
cept the Street and Sewer Department.
He held that the phrase giving entire
Jurisdiction and control to the Street
and Sewer Department should be in
terpreted in the spirit In which it was
intended
The passage Of an ordinance reouir-
ing street railway companies to equip
their cars with tenders was an exer-
else OF police powers, and police powers
are vested in Council. The ordinance
was not anything touching the streets
proper, but was passed, to protect the
lives and insure the safety Of citizens,
and therefore was exercise OF a police
power. A fender is no more the use Of
the streets than Is an ordinance re-
quiring the muzzling Of dogs.
