A GOOD BIG MIRROR.
Have One In the House ana See That
Ii Is Used.

IL Is JseU.
A mirror large and long enough for
the tallest member of the family TO soc
herself from tip to toe is among the
most useful articles of furniture In n
house.
1t is, in fact, more necessary than
carpets, which are unnecessary, or
window curtains, pictures on the walls,
pillow shams, tablecloths, bric-abrac
and endless other things too numerous
to mention.
A good mirror helps us to see our
selves as others see us 1t shows us
that we are ripped in seams, taggy
and uneven In skirts, i'll fitting in col
lars and waists, neckties askew, hair
unbecomingly arranged, quarreling
colors, bumped shoulders-in brief, all
the faults and shortcomings in dress
and carriage of the figure
A hand mirror should hang beside it,
and between the two fair estimate of
ones appearance can be made.
Men and women who look the best
make use OF the looking glass and val
lie its Importance. Instead of breeding
vanity tire mirror explodes vanity.
Between buying new gowns, hats,
coats, chairs or chests buy the looking
glass and see that it is good one with
plain solid frame and likely TO last
forever. Then hang it in n good light,
accessible to all.-Philadelphia Ledger.

SHEEP IN THE ORCHARD.

COndtttS~~ UASer which They Are
HeIpful-Trees Must lie Protected.
Sheep are nearly always the right
thing N o. ~aGht place wherever they
may be on well managed farms, and
they will thus gather up much food
that would otherwise be wasted. But
sheep ass erx u place at all timeS in
an orchard that is bearing fruit. In
young orchard they are helpful in
many ways, but the trees must be
protecteFby wire netting or the sheep
will eat the bark. The root sprouts
will be eaten down and killed, and the
grass will be kept down about the
trees. These will be greatly helped
by the close eating of the grass about
them and the enrichment Of the land
by the manure dropped under them.
Every eEGAaRd should have Il flock in
it, the Que allowance being three sheep
to each trsA s9ual TO 100 to the acre
OF course extra food Is supplied, and
this goes to enrich the land and greatly
helps the growth OF the. fruit. To pro-
'tect the G,Oes the netting is wrapped
around four stakes placed against the
stem and saaSxsli TO one OF the stakes.
In putting on the wire 1t should be
doubled at fLrst, SO leaving sufficient to
cover the trees as these increase In
size. Any foed given to the sheep is
fed near the trees, which are thus well
manure,l without any direct labor.
For sheep pasture an orchard
should be we'll cultivated at the first
plowed thoroughly and subsoiled to the
depth of foot by means of n bull
tongue pillow, which breaks the land
but does not turn it. The surface IS
then we'll narrowed, then sown with
six pounds Of Kentucky blue grass,
four pounds of redtop, three pounds
of orchard grass, three pounds Of
slke clover per acre. This will give II
dense growth on good soil, covering
the g1N,i4d oven under the trees, and
if not fed too closely will renew its
growth and fill the land with its roots,
thus affording by division of the ground
to permit alternate feeding ample pro-
vision for ten sheep to the acre through
the summer A liberal dressing Of
land plaster with artificial fertilizer
every tiksi e. fourth year will keep up
the gro~h ~ tue grass and greatly
hasten the maturity of the trees.--"An-

POINTS ON FEEDING

Sheep ere zAe easiest OF farm ami
mails to gs< oR feed and at the same
time the incest to feed when one comes
to understand them and observes all
rules of cleanliness and regularity. No
differe1ee hoR Sne Is feeding, he should
never put in fresh feed Of any kind on
the feed spk1sA Sexnalns from the previ-
Gus feeding.
1t is better never to have any feed
left over in the troughs, and especially
is this true of stock ewes and rams.
The feed for sheep should always be
given whole and dry.
The rough feed should never be cut,
as sheep delight in picking stover
leaves and husks from the stalks.
They do not care so much for shred
ded slower as for it uncut.
Cut hay packs in hangers, so that
sheep have to breathe over it, and then
they will not eat It.
harley as Stock Food.
Barley and oats make q good grow
ing ration for lambs, but not a first
class fattening one. While barley
comes next to oats as an American
grain food, 1t is not relished by all an
finals like oats and is not as easily di-
gested. Perhaps the hog will do the
best on ground barley and the horse
next. AS feed for breeding ewes oats
two parts, barley one part and wheat
bran three pssrts make n good ration
National Stockman.
Ration For Work Horses.
Much time is lost by the work horse
in stripping grain from ear corn. Feed
it to him shelled and, better still, crack
it or grind cob together. Corn is a
magnificent food at all times, but not
always the most suitable. For work
horses it fails to supply vigor. vim,
stamina and muscularity i'm a perfect
manner. 1t is a fat and heat former
and helps wonderfully to maintain
weight even during the work season,
but fed OH it alone rs grain ration the
horse lacks gpirit, sweats easily and
tires soon. Thus fed he will last fewer
years than tho work horse fed better
balanced ration.
10 offset IneSe Ill euectS OF corn ana
insure vigor and stamina food richer in
protein should be added to the corn.
Some of the corn may still be fed, but
n part of II should be replaced by oats,
which are not only rich In necessary
protein, but in principle which Inn
parts vigor, sprlghtllness and staying
powers. Bran may also be fed with adj
vantage.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
Oats Good For Forage.
Oats sown for forage should never
be overlooked. The crop should be
cut while the seed is In the milky
stage, as the stalks are then in the
best condition, containing the elements
then on the way to complete the grain.
Oats cut at this stage and properly
cured are highly relished by stock.

W%A.w~~u~A the Hog House.

Whitewash is cheap, and there is no
reason why it should not be used
more than it is in the hog house. Wheth-
or the boards that compose the hog
house are smooth or rough, the white
wash will be found to be help. 1t
will stDp Np the hiding places of YER

smell TO the places where the hogs
stay. In addition it adds light, as

IfrneWater.

Our grandmothers made great use Of
limewater, and physicians even today
recommend its use in many ailments.
1t is such a practical remedy to have

lump of quicklime about the size Of a

about two quarts. Put in an earthen

TEXT HAS BEEN RECEIVED.
Decision Against Asphalt Company
Given to the State Department.

The State Department has been placed
in possession of the full text OF the re-
cent decision Of the Venezuelan court of
last instance confirming the judgment of
the same court sitting a tribunal of the
first instance In the case OF the Venezuelan
government against the New York and
Bermudez Company for the non-fulfllment
OF contract obligations by the asphalt COM
pany. The decision was transmitted through
the Venezuelan legation here, and laid be-
fore Acting Secretary of State LOOMS by
Senior n. Veloz Goitcoa. Venezuelan charge
d'affaires.
The decision to rescnd the company $
contract and condemn 1t to pay the costs
of the suit was cabled on the date 1t was
rendered, August Z last. The document
just presented gives besides the decision a
brief history of the litigation and the evil
dence and argument of each side to the
controversy. When the suit was instituted
a receiver was placed In charge OF the
property and 1t Is understood this ar
rangement continues. The case Is distinct
from second suit brought by the govern
ment against the company seeking damages
on the charge that the company inst!gated
q revolutionary movement.
The contract which the decision rescinds
was executed 1888, and the clause which
was the cause of the suit required the
dredging OF the navigable streams of Ber-
mudez by the company. The fact that this
dredging was not done the court finds to
have been established, Notwithstanding the
showing to the contrary sought to be made
by the defendant company. The company
in its argument in the case sets up the
claim that its title to the property was not
based on the contract in question. 1t al
leges that the terms of this contract were
fulfilled. however. and that IL they had not
been the company was not limited by the
terms of the contract to any period of
time In which its terms might be complied
with. Finally, the company argued that the
stipulation to dredge the rivers never le-
gally existed, and II It did. was covered
by an alternative proposition which was
to construct a railroad and that the al
tentative proposition had been met This
argument is answered by the court in this
language:
1.-THE -fulfillment OF the contract on
the part OF the company is fully proved
In these proceedings.'

Drilled In Use Of Pontoon Boats.

The soldiers belonging to the Engineers
Battalion of the U. 8. army. stationed at
the Washington barracks are daily being
drilled in the use of pontoon boats Of heavy
canvass stretched over a wooden frame. In
these unsubstantial looking craft six or
more men get and paddle all over the har-
Dor as comfortably as they would in boats
OF ordinary build. 1t Is stated that these
canvass boats are watertight, in spite of
the fact that the canvass does not seem to
be oiled, and have the advantage of being
very light and easily propelled. They can
be taken apart and packed into small
bundle, light enough to be carried by one
man. and arriving at a stream they can be
quickly put In shape for the carrying of
the man across the water. They are the
first boats of the kind ever seen on the
river here and are attracting much atten-
ton.
