METHOD or DIPPING SHEEP
Prof. r. A. Craig Describes Conve-
nient Arrangements for the
Small Farmer.

Dipping the entire animal In solu-
ton, which will kill the insects and
prevent disease is both simple and cf-
fective. Very simple appliances will
serve where only few animels are
to be treated. A box or tank for the
dip and few feet of drain board are
all that is really necessary. More
complete arrangements serve to reduce
the labor where larger numbers of
sheep are handled.
The advantages OF a metal dipping
tank are SO marked that no mention
need be made of any others, They
are cheaper in the long run than any
an ordinary wagon bed will serve

Merinos in Australia.

The Australians have been using the
Merino sheep to very much larger
extent than the Americans. They are
now very well pleased with their for
mer course, as the demand for Merino
wool is very large and prices are high.
they have found also that the Merl-
nos herd easily, are good travellers
when the pastures are short, and stand
hardships better than many other
sheep

vestigations, however, point to the
large windows as being the most serv-
iceable. 1t is true, that the more glass
the colder the house, but 1t is also
true that II the fowls are properly
protected from drafts, a few degrees
of cold more do not count for any
thing. In many of our poultry e-tab-
lishments now, the windows are be-
ing merely covered with cloth, and
the birds are entirely comfortable in
such houses. There should be large
windows on the east, south and west
sides of all poultry houses, says the
Farmers Review. This let's in the
sunlight, which is powerful germi-
eide and which dries up the moisture

emery to nearly all farm stock, and
the drier we can keep tAe poultry the
better. The poultry enjoy the sun
streaming in through the windows.

NELLIE GRANT SARTORIS.
SKETCH OF THE LOVELY WHITE
HOUSE BRIDE OF THE DAYS
OF GENERAL GRANT.

She Met Algernon SartOris, Her
Future Husband, on Shipboard on
Return European Trip-Is Mother
OF Three Children.
No American girl, not even President
Rooseyelt's daughter, ever had a more
brilliant wedding than Nellie Grant,
the beloved child OF the great Civil
War hero; yet of late years the public,
which has always taken a kindly inter-
est in Gen. Grants family has heard
comparatively little of his only daugh-
ter.
When Mrs. Julia Dent Grant, widow
of the President, was living, her
daughter spent much time with her
mother at the latters home in the city
OF Washington, but since the death OF
her mother Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris
can scarcely be said to have had a fixed
residence in any American city. How
ever, she has always been very fond
of st. Louis, and she made her home in
the Missouri metropolis during most Of
the time the recent Worlds Fair was
in progress there
Possibly the liking of Mrs. Sartoris
for st, Louis is to be attributed to the
fact that her birth, in August, 1856,
occurred at her Grandfather Dents
country home near st. Louis, the BIRTH
place of her mother. When General
Grant was elected President, and in
deed during the first three years that
he and his wife lived at the White
House, the daughter was at school
Toward the close Of President Grants
first term, however, Miss Nellie made
her social debut at the Presidential
mansion, and her cadet brother, home
from West Point, was her escort and
companion.
MET PRINCE CHARMING.
General Grants daughter made q
tour of Europe soon after she formally
entered society, and everywhere re-
ceived the most distinguished atten-
tions from the royal families of Great
Britain and the Continent. On the
way home on the steamer Russia she
met Mr.. Sartoris, the Prince Charming
who was later to win her heart and
hand From the moment that the en-
gagement Of Miss Grant was an
nounced the whole American people |
manifested an interest in the brlde-to- |
be which never found a parallel save
in the enthusiasm for Alice Roosevelt |
The fact that the lucky man was an
Englishman and not a citizen of the
republic. while 1t was matter Of deep
regret to many persons, including
President Grant himself, was not al
lowed to cast damper upon the joyous
occasion. Mr.. Algernon Sartoris was
but twenty-three years Of age and Miss
Grant was only nineteen when, on
Thursday, May q, 1874, they were

more. and bent his thin gray face over
his illuminated breviary. So he re-
manned while the senior monks filed
slowly and sedately into the chamber,
seating themselves upon the long
oaken benches which lined the wall
on either side. At the further end, in
two high chairs as large as that of the
Abbot, though hardly so deliberately
carved, sat the master Of the novices
and the chancellor, the latter a broad
and portly priest, with dark, mirth-
full eyes and thick outgrowth Of
crisp black hair all round his tonsured
head. Between them stood lean,
white-faced brother who appeared to
be i'll at ease, shifting his feet from
side to side and tapping his chin with

in his hand. The Abbot, from his

| to produce the maximum yield of
which the land is capable. A few
years ago the man who would have
said that 10 acres of farm land was a
sufficient area for man to make a
good living from would have been
| looked upon as a crank. Now there
are thousands of little 10 acre and even
acre farms from which men are
making more money than many
others are from attempting to till 20
| times that amount. That 10 acres,
under favorable conditions, will pro-
duce q living is recognized in bill
which has just been passed by the
House of Representatives and which
will likely be passed by the Senate at
this session. 1t is an amendment to
the National Irrigation Law. Under
that law the homestead entry upon
public land irrigated by the govern
ment ranges from 40 to 160 acres, to
be determined by the Secretary of the
Interior, according to the conditions OF
the reclamation. 1t was recognized,
at the time of the passage of the law
in "02, chat in some sections of the
country 40 acres was an ample area
for a farm. 1t is now seen, and adj
that 10 acres is not too small a sub
division under favorable conditions.
Another amendment was recently
made to the irrigation law allowing
the government to establish town-sites
and divide the land hereunder up
into various sized tracts ranging
from town-lots to 10 acre allotments.
When this bill which is now before the.
Senate becomes a law it will there
fore be possible for the government,
Ia any of its irrigation projects to di-
vide and sub-divide its land into
town and farm units ranging all the
way from lots up to 100 acre farms.
MODEM RURAL SETTLEMENTS
This plan will doubtless develop
some of the finest examples of pros
porous rural communities to be found
anywhere in the world. Many. OF the
best developed sections of some OF
the western states include great
numbers of little farms and fruit
ranches of s, 10 and 20 acres each,
where the appearance Is almost like
the outskirts of a village. With such
a dense rural population there is an
ideal combination OF practically all
the advantages to be found in city
life and the splendid results Of country
work and living. Houses. in such A
community, are almost within stone
throw of each other, the population Is
sufficiently large to support splendid
roads, good school and churches water
and lighting improvements. good |
etc. Thus the lonesome
ness, the isolation and the many UNI
features Of the big farm dis
appear while yet the joys and the !
of country life are all
present.

states that since the passage Of the |
irrigation act. it has developed that |

1 the peasants raised tier heads and
4 looked questions mt each other, for the
Angelus had already gone and Vespers
was still far off. Why should the
great bell of Beaulieu toll when the
shadows were neither ,ort nor long?
All round the Abbey tie monks
were trooping in. Under the long,
green-paved avenues of gnarled oaks
and of lichened beeches the white
ROBBED brothers gathered to the sound.
1t had been no sudden call. A swift
messenger had the night efore sped
round to the outlying dependencies of
the Abbey, and had left the summons
for every monk to be back in the
cloisters by the third hour after noon
tide. So urgent a message had not
been issued within the memory of old
Lay Brother Athanasius, who had
cleaned the knocker since the year
after the Battle of Bannackburn.
Meanwhile, in the broad an lofty
chamber set apart for occasions of
import. the Abbot himself was pacing
impatiently backward and forward,
with his long, white, nervous hands
clasped in front of hil4. His thin,
thoughtworn features and sunken,
haggard cheeks bespoke one who had
indeed beaten down that inner foe
whom every man must face, but had
none the less suffered sorely in the
contest. In crushing hi passions he
had well-nigh crushed himself. Yet,
frail as was his person, there cleaned
out ever and anon from under his
dropping brows flash of fierce energy
which recalled to mems minds that he
came of a fighting stock, and that even
now his twin brother, Sir Bartholomew
Berghersh, was one of the most fa-
nous of those stern warriors who had
planted the Cross of st George before
the gates of Paris. With lips COM
pressed and clouded brow, he strobe
up and down the oaken floor, the very
impersonation of asceticism, while
the great bell still Numbered and
changed above his head. At last the
uproar died away in three last meas
ured throbs, and ere their echo had
ceased the Abbot struck small gong
which summoned a lay-brother to his
presence.
where is the master of the nov
ices?"

few moments it opened again to adj
