SECRETARY SHAW's PROGRAM.
Has Arranged to Make Number of
Political Speeches.

Secretary Shaw is in Charlottesville, Va,
where he will address the students Of the
University of Virginia this afternoon. To-
night he will make a political speech in
Charlottesville in support of the republican
state ticket. Tomorrow the Secretary of
the Treasury leaves for Chicago on private
business, and on the 25th he will make an
address to the Nebraska State Bankers
Association at Lincoln. On the 9th and
2Sth the Secretary will speak in Ohio in aid
of the republican ticket. He will then re-
turn to Washington and go to Fredericks-
burg, Va, to make a speech on the 30th.
On the 31st he will speak at Alexandria,
Va, and a few days later he will go to
Cleveland, Ohio, where he will speak on the
4th of November.
The program of the Secretary of the
Treasury is thus a pretty strenuous one
from now until election.

THE DRY EARTH MULCH.


Watering an orchard is bigger
job than most any one would care to
undertake, unless one had system
of piping attached to an adequate wa
ter source. And yet, we may water
the trees, either old or young or the
vegetables, by means of countless lit
tie invisible pumps that we may put
in operation with the pillow and the
harrow. There is always moisture in
the earth, and away down there it is
full of water and this water has a ten
dency to rise to the surface all the
time and to dampen things at the top.
But, when there is drouth, and tn,
surface becomes baked and hard, the
rising process is greatly retarded, if
not entirely suspended, and then it is
that vegetation and trees suffer-the
many little pumps are clogged and fail
to work. for there is nothing to climb
and nothing to invite the expansion
of the water from below, up near the
surface. But, if we are timely. and

we may keep all the air and water

GETTING ALL THE MILK.

, At the Vermont dairymens meeting,
Professor Hills stated that the pro-
cess of milking might be so conduct
ed in its operation that a pound of
milk or ounce of butter more inighr
be obtained than in the usual method
as practiced. This plan would con-
sist OF proper manipulation of the
udder and force exerted on the teats.
a drawing down motion that would
tend to more free letting down" of
the milk. This, with gentleness ard
carefulness in the entire operation,
particularly the finishing off in the
milking or getting all that the COW has
to give.
Where possible it is better for each
one to have his own particular cows
to milk than to take them as they
come. 1t is often found that certain
cows will do better when MIXED by
one person than by another. Then
there should be gentleness and care
fulness on the part of the mixer per-
forming the work in reasonable
length of time, and getting all the
milk. In this way the COW will be in
duced to hold out in milk and not to
become dry too soon as the result of
careless milking-E. R. T. in the

THE HORSES MOUTH.

If owners would only lay out a lit
tie more money in the purchase of
bits there would be fewer bad mouths
and more comfort amongst their
horses. AS it is. most people appear
to be welded to one pattern of bit,
and, if SO, are extremely disinclined to
adopt any other The result is that
the manners and mouths of their
horses are permanently injured, and
accidents occur which might other
wise have been avoided If horse own
ers, breakers and stud grooms would
only remember that there is vast
difference in mouths, and many
horse is driven half mad by an I'M
necessarily severe bit, a good deal of
money could be saved and many an
equine reputation would be spared 1t
by no means follows that a horse
which pulls will lose the habit if he
is driven in severe bit--very often
it is just the reverse; and, therefore,
the study of their horses mouths
should be the care of every owner

and lays from thirty to thirty-five eggs
in season The eggs. can be Matched
in common chicken incubators. Ban
tams are preferable as foster moth
ers. The young are very hardy, stand
any climate and are easily tanned and
require little room. The extremely
beautiful plumage and graceful move
ments always charm the beholder.-

TT1RKEYs ON THE FARM.

@-~~~s--
No one is in as good a position to
raise fine turkeys as the farmer. 1t Is
almost impossible to rear them sue
cessfully without free range, and that
is where the farmer has the advant-
age.
II the hens are fed too sparingly
they will not lay early enough in the
spring, while if too fat the eggs are
apt to be infertile or have weak germs
When they begin to lay, which they
will do in the poultry house if proper
ly tanned, the first Is or 20 eggs may
be confiscated and put under hens.
Then break up any tendency to BROOD
mess, and if the tom runs with them
at all times, as he should, they VIII
soon lay a second clutch, which they
may be allowed to sit on.
AS fast as the poults hatch and get
dry. remove them to warm covered
box placed near the kitchen stove, else
some will surely get crushed. This Is
also the best time to give them a pr1-
vate mark, by which to identity them.
A chicken punch costing 10 cents to
25 cents may save many dollars be-
fore fall. Punch each one on the same
foot and in the same web of that foot.
Then if some birds join neighbor's
flock, which they will often do, the
feet will show proof of ownership.
I find it best TO confine the little
ones in small Enclosure, about foot
high, for few days, or else put the
mother in large coop with Stat slides
SO the little ones may pass in and out.
In either case they should be out an
hour or two before shutdown, at which
time they should each be driven into
the poultry house for the night. BY
managing them in this way | find that
they do not stray SO far from the
house, and do not become nuisance
to ones neighbors.
Feed no mashes. Prepared chick
foods are good for a little while, more
like natures food. Several times day
at first, but only very little at 4
time. Rolled oats, a little millet and
finely cracked wheat are also good,
with grit / think it good to give only
necessary water In the wild state
when they grow fastest they do not
drink much except the dew in the
morning. Unless they range enough
to get many insects, they should be
given meat scraps frequently, few at
a time. The only thing | have ever
done for lice is to rub the head and
necks slightly with melted lard. This
need not be done if the hen is treated
for lice before Matching and the poul-
try house kept free from them.-Mrs.
r. G. Feint, in Orange Judd Farmer.

to lie over small stepping stones. So
small sometimes are the causes of our
unhappiness that we wonder the con-
sequences can be so great. One great
palliative is the determination by
every member of the family not to
dwell on the circumstances, whatever
they may be, which are alike sad to
all.
If it be poverty, let it be cheerfully
and silently borne; if it be the ill-tem-

it. If it be something infinitely worse
and also hopeless accept it bravely;
do not talk of it.
Try in the family circle to ignore

work on cheerily and hopefully, know

may be, however innocently we may
have incurred the stroke of fate, there

from the gaze Of too curious or SYM
pathetic friends has apparently been
quite lost sight of. Small round hats,
turbans. and fiat hats worn little
over the face are all considered good
style worn with long crepe veil.
while as soon as the veil is shortened
the millinery at once takes on most
coquettish appearance.
Combined with crepe for hat trim
