An Organ 700 Years Old.

William c. Carl brought with him
from Japan a pipe organ of ancient
make which he believes will prove a
revelation to modern instrument build
ers
The organ is 700 years old, but not
withstanding this fact, embodies prac-
tically all the improvements which
present day builders regard as new.
The pipes are OF BAN boo, and the in
strument is in good state of preser-
walton. Mr.. Carl also brought home a
large collection of japanese music ar
ranged in modern notation. Previous
to 80 years ago, he says, all the native
music was handed down from one gen.
GRAFTON to another in characters. but
since the establishment of an academy
at Toxic a great impetus has been Civ.
en- to all classes Of music, and more
than GOO students were in attendance
at that institution when Mr. Carl Wis

HEALTH OF SWINE.

Until we know all about swine dis
eases there is no possibility Of pre-
venting entirely the coming Of the
epidemics Of cholera that so often cut
down the number Of our hogs. How
ever. from a long experience I have
come to the conclusion that most hog
diseases are preventable. writes Hen
ry Porter In Farmers Review. One
way to prevent hog diseases Is to
purchase as few hogs as possible. and
when we do purchase. quarantine till

or not to have some contagious dis

SoIomon's Great Wealth.

Solomon was not only the wisest
but the richest man the world has
ever seen, says the Taller, though,
like the Car, who alone can be COM
pared to him in wealth today, he had
to keep all his relatives. He is said
to have owned a fortune OF 800, OOO, 900
pounds, and David, his father, left
half as much for the building of the
Temple. Croesus, whose name is even
now synonym for vast wealth, pos
sessed 400,000,000 pounds, and Luz
cullus, famous for his dinners and
his manuscripts. $12O,OOO,OOO. AL, .

pounds sterling from Persia. AS
general rule. it was unsafe to be very
rich in classical times.

KEEP A FEW SHEEP.

"The price Of sheep has reached
point where it Is profitable to produce
them for wool alone, which fact is
made more evident by a visit to the
show yards of any Of our leading
fairs" says an old sheep breeder. If
we can accept as reasonable authority
a large number of entries in fine wool
sheep, there is where we get fore
runner of the future" He believes
that the most profitable sheep to
grow with the price Of wool IS a
medium-size sheep with a good car
cass Of mutton, AID good. dense
fleece Of medium wool. When we
undertake to produce a wooded sheep
with no reference to the mutton quail
ity and gain but a few cents worth
OF wool. and when we seek only NUT
ton without regard to the wool quail
ty, we meet the same objection on
the other side" He thinks there Is
room on every farm for few good
sheep, and certainly in this day,
when there are so many good breed
ers striving to excel, Offering their
stock at moderate prices, there is no
excuse for any farmer to still be
growing scrubs. A few sheep can be
kept on every farm with small out
lay and with profitable results. 1t is
only when one attempts to make
specially OF the sheep business that
expense becomes apparent and train
ed experience necessary. A few sheep
will keep fat picking up weeds and
brush along the fence. feed that would
not otherwise be utilized. They not
only do this. but keep the farm clean,
which is OF even - much import
ance to the following crops as 1t is
a benefit to the sheep themselves.
Every farmer ought to grow a few

year and without any apparent cost.

ing any crop that is grown upon the

Marion has a case of grating in
connection with the building of sew
age disposal works in that city that
has created a profound sensation at
that place. 1t appears that the city
erected O sewage disposal work for
which they paid $4,000. 1t has been
since ascertained that the full cost of
the plant was but $4,000. The dis
closures were brought about by one
party suing the company that erected
the works for $500 alleged commits
ions as his share for inducing the city
to pay the $4,000. When the trial
came up in court the judge was so
incensed at such brazen methods that
he took the case from the jury and
after scoring both plaintiff and defend
ants, instructed the sheriff to order the
bank that held some of the company's
money to return it to the city. Canton
recently paid some twenty thousand
dollars for scrap pile alleged to be

tract being consummated. At least a
little judicious probing would do no
harm.
