Passing of Ancient Boston dollhouse.

Passing Of Ancient Boston dollhouse.
For the paltry sum OF $25 the old
dollhouse, one Of the many relics of
bygone days in the city of Cambridge,
which during its existence has held
probably many thousands Of dollars,
has been sold. The house stood for
more than century at the Cam
bridge end of the West Boston
Bridge, but during the past few years
had been so badly in need of repairs
that 1t was more of an eyesore than
thing to be admired as having been
handed down by our forefathers.
The house had been in disuse since
1858, and from the appearance Of 1t
at the time of It's demolition, one
might readily believe that no repairs
had been made upon it since that
time, 1t is probable that, so great
was the rejoicing when the West Bos-
ton Bridge was made a free bridge,
there was no place in the hearts of
Cambridge citizens for sentiment, and
none arose in the hearts of their de-
scendants to prompt them to preserve
the old landmark.
The dollhouse was first used when
the West Boston Bridge, known as
the Great Bridge" was completed in
1893. No person was allowed to pass
over without first visiting the toll
house to pay the pittance which was
demanded of him. In 1903 Moses
Hadley was made the toll collector,
and continued in that capacity until
1857, when the bridge was made a
free" bridge.-Boston Transcript.

The Glass Of Water Cure.

A certain old family physician never
tires of proclaiming the virtues of a
glass of cold water taken on waking
in the morning.
"Many people, he remarks, "avoid
drinking water as though it were
poison, although without it no one
can be properly healthy. When taken
early in the morning it has clean
sing and bracing effect on the sys.
tenn, while it's beneficial effects on the
liver can hardly be exaggerated.
ut is so simple rule that the ad-
vice is we'll worth following, espe-
ctally by those who suffer with indi.
gestion or who awake with feeling
of languor, an early morning sensa-
ton which afflicts innumerable people
of sedentary habits. kansas City

Guarantee on Feeding stuff.

0uaranfee on II eeuInS
Purchasers should not think that
the fact that a feeding stuff has a
guarantee tag attached to it neces-
sarily insures it's being of good quail
ity. One should read the guarantees.
For example, among the cOttonseed'
meals which were found on our mar
ket there was one which contained
but 1925 per cent of protein, while
good cottonseed meals which are un-
adulterated and hence do not contain
excessive amounts Of bulls usually
contain from Al per cent to 43 per
cent of protein. 1t would appear as
if some consumers so utterly disre
gard the guarantees on the bags that
even if a sample of cottonseed meal
were guaranteed to contain but APP
proximately % per cent of protein
they would buy it just as readily and
pay as great price or possibly with
in a dollar AS much per ton as If 1T
were guaranteed to contain 43 per
cent of protein.-Rhode Island Expo

Fertilizinp Emit Trees.

One of the essentials for the sue
cessful growing Of an orchard is the
presence of an abundance of plant
food, and we see many orchards sad
ly in need of renewed fertility. There
are few soils here in this State that
will not be benefited by an application
of manure after the trees come into
bearing, and if the land is heavily
cropped it will generally be desirable
when the trees are two or three years
old From fifteen to twenty loads to
the acre applied broadcast once in two
years will provide food for the growth
of the trees. If the trees alone are to
be MANFRED it will not be desirable to
cover all the land with manure until
the trees have reached the age Of ten
or twelve years. The amount used.
should depend on the size Of the trees
and should be placed over circle
with a diameter about twice that of
the heads Of the trees The bank
ing Of the manure about the trunks
is unwise, as the feeding roots are for
the most part. several feet away.
Upon bearing trees it is generally as
we'll to leave a considerable space
about the trunks without manure, and
it is better to have the entire amount
outside the circle of the branches than
to have it packed about the trees.

Increased Interest in sheep Keepins

Increased Interest IN Sneep heepiHS~
More than one of our Western ex-
changes have mentioned the desire of
farmers in the section to go into sheen
keeping One of them states that the
parties who have applied to the Office
of that paper within the past three
months to know where they could OBJ
tain sheep on shares, would have TAX
en- not less than ten thousand head
if they could have found them. They
were used to handling sheep, had land
and buildings for them, but had not
money to buy such focks as they
wanted. Another paper states that q
large share of the sheep offered for
sale at that market are culled over
for desirable ewes of any age before
any can be taken for slaughter. We
have lately heard that In some Sec
lions of New England the small farm
ers are watching for chances to pur-
chase small docks of sheep of from
q dozen to a hundred, according to
their means of purchasing or keeping
them. This is all as it should be,
and we say let the good work go on.
But remember that all sheep are not
equally good for the farmer. We be-

It is claimed that if all the manure
from one COW could be saved, with
out loss of liquids or solids, provided
the food given is of the best quality,
the cost of the COW would be reduced
every year, as the land would pro-
duce more each season. Two cows
could not eat the food off 4 piece Of
land that now supplies only one. If ri.
the refuse from the COW could he re-
turned to the plot, but the manure
must be carefully managed and be
