THEo. P sHoNTZ. will have absolute
charge Of construction work, but Mr..
Shonts will be the executive head and
the direct representative Of the Pres
ident.
Theodore P. Shonts is a prominent
railroad man, having long been presi-
dent Of the Toledo, Peoria & Western
DanA-Ha WAS horn in Crawford Coun-
with the class Of 1876 at Monmouth
College. He was graduated with the
degree Of B. A, and three years after
the degree Of M. A. was conferred up
on him by the same institution. In
July, 1881, he became president of the
Iowa Construction Company, which
was then building a railroad, and a
year later he was made general su-
perintendent Of the Indiana, Illinois &
Iowa Railroad, which position he oc-
cupied for four years. In 1886 he be-
came general manager Of the same
road, and in 1898 was made president.
It was in the latter year that Mr..
Shonts and Paul Morton secured prac-
teal control of the Three rs, as the
Indiana, Illinois & Iowa Railroad is
commonly called.
Later they sold to the Vanderbilt
system and made million each on the
deal. He then went into the Glover
Leaf Road, as the Toledo, Peoria &
Western is known, and his executive
ability was shown there. His income
is 100000 a year.

a MOTHER GOOSE BAZAAR.
Novel Affair That Church Society
Made Profitable


An entertaining and profitable ba-
zaar TOT charity one spring was called
Mother Goose's Spring Opening" A
idFge Sunday school room was deco
rated with little booths made gay with
imitation white lilies and festoons of
yellow crepe paper Red cardboard
mower pots also mounted guard at the
entrances of the various booths, and
were filled with the same effective
blossoms, wl--ce fragrance came from
sachet powder sprinkled generously in
their centres, writes Marjorie March
IN the "Housekeeper."
Mother Goose herself was mistress
OF ceremonies, met the guests as they
entered and made them feel at home.
Old Mother Hubbard had a truly
novel cupboard that was a delight tc
every one. It's doors were wide open.
and in it's many compartments were
some wee puppies and kittens for
sale.
Lucy Locket presided over coun.
ter where leather pockets" of all de-
scriptions were for sale, purses, big
and small, shopping bags, beaded
bags, silk work bags, etc.
Mistress Mary had a charming lit
tie corner where petted pansy blooms
and other spring flowers were offered
at tempting prices. Her counter was
ornamented with the legendary "sil-
yer BELLS" and a popular feature was
her 'cockcle shells" (These had been
saved by one of the church workers
from seashore trip the year before.)
They held the tiniest of potted ferns
and sold for ten cents each.
The old woman who swept the cob
webs off the sky sold brooms, big ard
small, dustpans, aprons, dish towels,
busting caps, wash rags and many
other prosaic articles.
Curly Locks, most bewitching
maiden with flowing curls, sat at lit
tie table sewing her "fine season" and
incidentally selling fancy articles,
tray cloths, doilies, centrepieces, pill
| low covers, etc.
Then tnafe was the 'old woman
who lived in a Shoe" and she sold fle1
| children (dolls) of whom she had sc
many "she didn't know what to do
Most of these were grouped in great
| shoe made of black paper. The Others
were arranged on the counter by its
side.
Next came Cinderella's booth. Gin
derella was in her ball dress and sole
slippers of every description, Wor
steds and bedroom sandals. Little
Jack Homer literally sat "in a cor
ner" and sold cakes and pies and can
dies. Jack and Jill dispensed lemon
| ade from a charming little well. II
small tin pals, and not one catas
trophe was there during the "nol
| evening.

TOYS Possess Real Value.

Miss Elizabeth Harrison, head of
the kindergarten movement in this
country, says Toys form a bridge
between the great realities of life and
the child's small capacity" If this is
true then toys which bridge from moth
| ing to nowhere are useless.
This was the case with the play
things of the second family Of chill,
dren with whom l lived in the capac-
ity of nursery governess. They had
no connection either with the pres
emf state Of the children's minds or
with any future stage Of development.
What possible pleasure or profit could
children Of two and four get out of
bagatelle board? They had not the
mechanical strength nor skill to shoot
the ball, still less the mental power
TO count the points, and least OF all
any care as to whether they won or
not. They had various mechanical
TOYS far beyond their power to manip-
ulate or understand, and some Japan
csc things in jointed bamboo the OBJ
iect of which / was never able to
discover There were no blocks, no
balls nothing to minister to their in
stinct for construction, but their spirit
of destruction was encouraged.
The possessions that seemed to
please them most were a stick with
q horses head at one end, on which
thew could pretend to ride; a little
iron wagon which they could drag
around. some reins with which they
could play horse and a mechanical pig
whose internal organs were coiled
spring and a wheel or two. They saw
horses and wagons in the real life
around them and pigs were common
objects in the landscape. These toys
gave them a little world Of their own
shifted to their capacity, to enjoy which
they did not need the help of an adult. |

The Breeding Stock,

If the hens and the males to be
used for breeding purpose this spring
have been properly wintered there
ought to be no trouble in Matching
chicks which will thrive; on the other
hand, If the males have been kept
half starved, or have been so placed
that they have spent the winter in
fighting each other, they are not in
condition for mating. If the hens and
pullets have been short on exercise.
have been overfed or underfed, have
occupied damp, dark houses, they are
not In condition to produce eggs which
are fit for Matching.
Turn attention to the breeding stock
now and first Of all see that the feed
ing and care of the female is what it
should be. Have the house comfort
able, but also have plenty of ventila-
ton and find some way D force her to
take needed exercise; cut off on the
corn feed and increase the wheat and
other matchmaking grains. AS for
the males, place them where they too
may be well cared for and fed, SO as
to get up the greatest amount of
energy and vitality before they are
turned in with the hens. No work in
the poultry business is more important
than this now, for the future Of the
flock may depend upon how well the
breeding stock is brought up to the
highest perfection.

Dehorning of Cattle.

Those who have had the pleasure Of
raising calves to the COW period with
out horns know how much more sensi-
BILE it is to have a herd of cows with
out horns than lot Of animals whose
horns endanger both man and beast
To have a herd Of cows without horns
l., easy Eor r1Ie NAN VINO raises his
own calves, for the work Of killing the
embryo horn is simple and easy.
Buy a stick of caustic potash at the
drug store, wrap bit of cloth around
the end you are to hold in the hand,
moisten the other end thoroughly and
then rub it briskly on the spot where
the embryo horn may be felt. Cover
all the surface, but be careful and not
60 beyond the horn or you will burn
the skin of the calf For calves, when.
the horns are already through, the clip
per made for the purpose is the best.
thing to use. Place the blades as close
to the head as possible, and one cut,
will pare the horn off smoothly. For,
grown cows, either the clipper or a saw
is used; and, of course, the head Of
the animal must be fastened SO that
she cannot move it.
The operation in a sensible manner
is humane, and only fanatics who
know nothing about the operation
claim it to be cruel. Like all opera
tons among animals, it may be done
in hurried, careless manner, and so
become cruelty.

A Germans Poultry Farm.

The writer recently saw a success
full poultry farm on which there was
not a single regulation poultry house.
The buildings for the poultry were
constructed entirely from dry goods
boxes bought at neighboring town
for small sums The larger boxes
were Joined together in sufficient
numbers to make the main houses and
the smaller boxes were taken apart
to obtain the short pieces needed, or
else made up into coops for the chicks
or in smaller houses for the range, ON
the colony plan. Each Of the larger
houses designed for winter occupancy
was lined inside with newspapers and
outside with one Of the waterproof
papers on the market. This is farm
where never less than 400 fowls are
kept and where the poultry is raised
both for the carcass market and for
eggs. This shows not only what may
be done without elaborate buildings,
but the advantages the average farmer
has over other people in his ability
to grow the feed needed and with
more or less in the way Of buildings
whASh may be utilized at no expense

Hens Teeth.

LAS scarce as hens teeth Is a COM
mon saying, from which comes the
idea that hens have no teeth. This.
Is tri1e only SO far as teeth in the,
mouth are concerned. Hens have
false teeth, and the owner of the fowls
is called upon in the winter to act as
dentist, says Farmers Review The
hen has the advantage Of the human
being in this. When her teeth get old
she digests them and gets new lot
Her teeth are really very numerous
and may be made out of bone, crock
cry, flint, quartz, and even glass.
The principal thing Is to give her
enough of the size she can best use.
Many Of the ailments among fowls
are caused by the lack of grit In the
winter time
When the ground is uncovered and
not frozen, it is comparatively easy
for the fowls to find enough large
sized gravel to supply the gizzard with
material for the grinding Of food that
comes to it. When fowls are killed
and the gizzards are found to be
filled with very fine, gritty material,
or none at all, it may be known that
there is great and imperative need
for the supply of grit at once. The
worst feature about 1t is that the
fowls begin to droop and get sick, and
the farmer never mistrusts that the
real cause Of the trouble is the lack
Of grit.
That hens teeth ara false, and that.
in the winter, man must supply them
should not be lost sight Of, and every
person that reads this article should
ask himself the question if his fowls
have been fully supplied with grinding
material. When the ground is GOV,
cred with snow it may be necessary
to purchase commercial grits in the
market.

is saving money. 1t is good plan to
try different combinations Of rations
and note results. To try them, with
out keeping a record of the milk, at
least by weight, is Of little use. TAXI
q ration Of, say, gluten feed, wheat
bran and oil meal Try these in vary
ing proportions of each, keeping tho
record carefully and thus determining
which is the most profitable. Tho
same plan may be readily carried out
with any other combinations Of grains.
Then, too, experiment with the
roughage as with the grains and see
what difference, If any, is in the re-
suits when the corn slower is cut on
crushed before feeding. Also note the
difference which may result from CIV
ing rather warm water There Is
more in obtaining a balanced ration
than simply feeding a combination
which some one says is good. 1t may
be good for his herd, but. by expert
menting, you may be able to hit on O
combina ton which will be better for
your cows, and, perhaps, at less cost.

Keeping Milk Records.

With feeding grains very high In
price one is tempted to feed more
roughage and less grain and unless
there is a decided falling off in the
quantity Of milk received is apt to

full appreciation Of the benefits deriv-
ed from this cheap food and in the
increased thrift of their stock. There
can be no doubt Of the advantage Of
the English method Of feeding COM

If hen is healthy and has good
appetite, nostrums cannot improve her.
Eggs are not produced from powders.
pills Or solutions, but from the food.
A healthy hen is no subject for medi-
cines or tonics. If she is sick or droop-
ing it is not out Of place to endeavor
to assist her to recover her health with
a tonic. but while her comb is bright
red and she scratches and works Wig
orously, enjoying her food and laying
eggs as fast as nature permits, the
use Of stimulants or tonics will not
benefit her or enable her to lay another
egg more than she would without their
use, even if they do not injure her.
The home of the daffodil is in the
grass; in fact, some of the prettiest
species refuse to live more than q
year or two in cultivated ground, yet
in the same garden planted in the
grass continue from year to year with
| proportionate increase. All that you
require is a grassy spot that need moi
| be mown until midsummer The small
est nook can be prettily adorned, and
If you have an acre or two to devote
to the purpose, the possibilities are
| immense. Planting is a simple mat
ter of lifting the sod and underlying
soil, dropping in the bulbs and replac
! ing the sod, taking care to plant the
groups in a natural or irregular way.
