Fountain Springs Hotel, an enormous
stone structure containing 500 rooms
besides the grand dining-room. There
are about 300 persons in the colony,
nearly all adults, while Farson Is the

important parsonage is f. NJ. Messen-
ger, general superintendent, who for
years was general manager Of the
Grosvenor Cotton Mills at North Gros-
venor, Conn.,, and who, since Joining the
colony, has twice refused offers of $15,-
600 to manage mills. He looks after
the physical property. Edwin L. Har-
vey, vice president, has chain Of lodg-

income, to join the jumpers. His wife

Heard and viewed from little dis
tance, one of the regular Sunday night
church services Of the Waukesha en-
thusiasts resembles a cross between a
football rush and a red hot political
convention. After the services have
been opened with song 1t takes about
one minute to develop the demonstra-
tions which have given the colonists the
name of Jumpers" 1t Is doubtful If
there Is an athlete who can perform
the physical feats done daily by many
Of fho ,hA- nf 10
No sooner Is the fervor Of the congre-
CATION fired by the singing than the
jumping begins. The word jumping is
not used figuratively. Dozens and
sometimes scores Of the worshipers
break into perpendicular dance, which
consists Of jumping straight up and
down with most marvellous rapldlty.
The jump Is not merely the raising Of
the jumper on his or her toes, but q
clean, flat-footed jump with both feet
several inches from the ground.
The whirling Of fanatical Arab der
wishes has stood for the climax Of ply
sical demonstration in religion. Any
dervish who will learn how to stand
flat-footed and lift himself by his boot
straps-or sandal thongs-as do the
Jumpers" at Waukesha will have an
accomplishment that will surpass his
old-time calling.
Divine healing is one of the most
pronounced of the Jumpers beliefs.
A distinction Is made, however, be-
tween surgery and medicine. "The set
ting of broken bone," explained Mr..
Farson, sis mechanical process md
the first aid to nature. Still even in
surgical cases we have had the most
remarkable instances Of the power Of
prayer to facilitate healing"

Corn Root Louise.

Time spent in killing insect pests
must usually be set down as so much
time lost from the constructive work
of improving the tilth of the soil, and
attending to the other needs of the
crops. Occasionally, however, an I'M
proved system of cultivation gets rid
of our insect enemies at the same time.
This is conspicuously the case in the
method recently proposed by Prof.
Forbes, of Illinois, for destroying the
corn root louise.
The pest works havoc to both sweet
and field corn. The small brown ant
attends the louise and Is responsible
for carrying 1t about the field. Pro-
fessor Forbes found that by using a
disk harrow one to three times early
In the spring, before the corn is plant
ed, from so to 95 per cent of the ants
and corn root lice are destroyed, and
no further treatment is required dur
Ing the season. The peculiar virtues
of this remedy are that 1t is simple,
effective and good for the corn, since
the soil is thereby put In better state
of cultivation.

wAUkESHA'S RELIGIOUS COMMUNITY
THAT DEPENDS Solely on FAITH FOR
MATERIAL SUPPORT AND VENTS ITS
FENOR in ACRORAIlCS.
NON-~%-N-N-N-NNN

Perhaps the most remarkable Of all
religious colonies that accept the Bible
as their only guide has been establish
ed at Waukesha, Wis. In the mineral
water belt the colonists are known ss
the "Holy Jumpers" legally they are
Incorporated as the metropolitan
Church Association" and for everyday
purposes they call themselves members
Of the Holiness" band.
In sense the colony Is communistic,
but its underlying principle is opposed
to the standards of business. No CON-
merclal or industrial feature is inter-
woven in the enterprise. There are
eighty acres Of corn and vegetables, but
this will not support the hundreds who
have Identified themselves with the
movement There is a printing estab-
lishment, but no profits on the books
or pamphlets.
"The Lord will PROVIDE" assert the
colonists, who devote all their time to
, religion and unmaterial matters, with
out providing for feeding, clothing or
housing. Yet the leaders in the move
ment were formerly shrewd and sue
cessful business men, while the rank
and file are In intelligence above the
average Of the kind who usually iden-
tify themselves with a religious craze.
For the time being the Holy Jump
ers are a great attraction at Waukesha
and a marvel to every sober-minded
person who visits them. Duke NJ. Far
son, the most extraordinary person in
religion" In the country to-day, stands
at the head Of the Jumpers. He amass-
ed fortune In the bond business In
Chicago and was regarded as a mil
lionaire. He drifted from the luxuries
and extravagances of city life deeper
and deeper into religious matters until
finally he sold out what was left of his
business and disposed Of his real estate,
devoting his time to spiritual matters.
A Methodist with inclinations toward
shouting" he occasionally filled the
pulpits of prominent churches in Chi
cago until they came time when the
eXuberance Of his joy caused him and
his friends to commit disturbing ex-
cesses, and then they organized what
was constituted Metropolitan Church,
into which they have put their money
as well as their faith. The organiza-
tion increased and as they feared po-
lice interference in Chicago, they moved
to Waukesha, where they bought the old

Fruit growers about Saugatuck,
Mich, have been busy trimming their
apple trees, says Country Gentleman.
Ten years ago they were thinking of
cutting them down and setting out
peach trees. To-day every half-dead
tree Is trimmed, and If there is moi
enough manure, fertilizer is bought for
these half-dead trees. Six years ago
one Of Saugatuck's young farmers mar
ried Chicago girl who used to spend
her vacation there. She loved country
life, and was a subscriber to agricul-
tural magazines. Her husbands or
chard was just like the rest, untrimmed
and had never been sprayed. She made
him buy manure, trim the trees, plow
and spray. Two years ago he began
to hire his neighbor's orchards. Last
year he was the only one who had ap-
pies to sell, and cleared $4,000.

body. 1t Is claimed that chickens
should have as much care as human
being to Insure the best results, and
modern methods certainly tend In that
direction. The chicken coop shown here
is a good example. 1t is simple, eff
cient and durable. AS shown here 1t Is
rectangular In form, being made Of
sheet metal. The top and sides are
bent to shape, with fanges at the bot
tom which connect with the flooring
At each side are supports which hold
the coop slightly above the ground
tending to keep the coop moisture
proof and preventing rain or other
water from entering. At each end are
perforated doors, which are very easi-
ly held in position. At the bottom of
each door is an extension, through
which passes a rod, the latter extend
Ing through the top of the coop and
also into the ground, preventing the
coop from being displaced. In this way
the fowl are rendered safe against the
attacks of animals

months he devoted himself Zealously
to this work. The exposure and the
climate told on him and he was strick-

After his recovery he was placed in

terrible one of the Wilderness, and in
that he distinguished himself by the
most gallant conduct, under fire. He
won honors at Chickahominy. 1t was
In this battle that a spent shell was
hurled against him, wounding him Sc

Grow Feed on the Farm.

The Massachusetts State crop report
contains an article by Prof. f. S. Cooley
on Some Causes Affecting the Profits
of Dairying." On the subject of feed
Ing dairy cattle the professor urges
that feeds be produced on the farm as
far as possible. Usually the best prac-
tice Is to purchase only feeds rich In
protein and raise the coarse folders
on the farm. Cows fed on starvation
rations yield no profit, and those over.
fed with expensive feeds are also kept
at a loss. The point of highest profit
In feed must be determined by expert.
ment and calculation, and varies with
the locality and circumstances Of the
feeder.

Improving the Herd.

Select as far as possible females
which conform to the standard of ex-
cellence Of the breed. If this Is accom-
plished it will insure uniformity in
type that Is highly desirable. If in ad-
dition to this 1t Is possible to select
cows and heifers that are similarly
bred they will be more likely to pro-
duce uniformity In their offspring.

Easy Way to Get Rid of stumps.

A method Of getting rid of stumps
which has been highly recommended
and which, to be effective, should be
done now, Is as follows: Bore hole
one or two inches In diameter and
about eighteen inches deep into the
center Of the stump. Then put into
this hole one or two ounces of salt
peter. Fill the hole with water and
plug 1t up. In the spring take out
the plug, pour in about one-half gal
Ion of kerosene oil and light it. The
stump will smolder away to the very
extremlties of the roots, leaving moth
ing but the ashes.-Farming.

At Weaning Time.

At weaving time there Is not so
much danger of losing the pigs as Of
checking their growth. The pig is not
yet a hog, and he can hardly subsist
as the hog does. A good deal of nour-
ishment in liquid form is needed, and
also some tender grass. 1t does
not take much grain, but they like a
bit of oats, wheat or corn. Their teeth
cannot handle much that Is hard |;
hence softening it by soaking will be
beneficial. Sweet milk and middlings
warmed with hot water will appeal to
their appetites at weaving time, and
1t need not be made as strong as when
fed later. 1t is generally known that
sour milk should not be given.-Field

Routing Crab Grass with Glover.


Crab grass is like the dog In the
manger, it kills out every other stem
of green grass and then turns brown
itself. 1t makes coarse and ugly
cover In the lawn and the individual
who attempts to eradicate 1t by dig
ging and cultivation may be entirely
without a lawn for two or three years.
If anything can get the best of crab
grass in fair contest, 1t is white
clover. In number of lawns In Wash
ington and elsewhere white clover has
furnished the means for a final vic
tory over crab grass. The white clov-
er gradually invades the area of crab
grass, replacing the latter with close.

performance, however, was pronounc-
ed below the high standard set by VIII

to the fact that few plays are as well
