Cactus as a Tlmepieee.

Mexico has a cactus which grows
toothpicks. another, ribbed and thick
" set with teethlike spines, which
furnishes the natives with combs;
there is another cactus, the long
curved spines of which resemble fish
hooks; there is another which is an
almost perfect imitation of the sea
urchin: still another resembling a
porcupine there is another covered
with long, red hair which is nick
named the red-headed cactus.
There are several varieties which
serve as timepieces. One of these,
the Cereus nycticalus, opens its bios

y Foot Rot of Sheep.

In a discussion before the board
of agriculture of Great Britain the
matter of foot rot in sheep received
considerable attention. Some of the
members had used copper sulphate at
the rate of one pound to gallon of
water. If the sulphate is to be used
merely to prevent the disease and not
where it actually exists. much
weaker solution could be used, in the
opinion of the eXperimenters. The
copper sulphate used was in the pow
dered form and was purchased under
a guaranty OF 80 per cent. purity. The
way of using the solution was very
simple, the sheep being merely driven
through the bath When a sheep was
found to be badly affected its hoofs
were pared before the animal was
driven into the bath This appears to
be very easy way of combating the
disease.

WHO SHOULD RAISE HORSES.
Prof. Thomas Shaw Says 1t Depends
on the Man.

In growing horses, as in growing
other kinds of live stock, the most
potent factor is the man. Some men
should grow draft horses only. Some
should grow only trotters. The many
should raise the former, as they are
so much more easily grown. The few
should grow the latter The men who
can grow good trotting horses, that
is, trotting horses of really superior
merit, are few and far between while
those who can also develop them are
fewer still Some men should not
grow any kind of horses, as they will
not make a success of it. They will
not make a success of it because they
do not understand it or because they
do not dixie it, or for both reasons.
No one should engage in growing
horses who does not take kindly to
the work. And no one should engage
in growing any particular kind of
horses or any class of the same unless
his tastes run in that line However,
if one understands his business and
grows that class of horses in which
he is most interested, there is but
little doubt that he will succeed in
the work.

FEEDING Oil Meal to Cattle.

The longer you feed oil meal the
higher the finish, but you can see
the effects of it in go days. The ques-
ton was raised whether If oil meal is
to be fed just 60 days it should be
fed the first so days or the last 60
days of the feeding period. H. w.
Mumford says: Il don't know" He
said that most persons would answer
the last 60 days, that being the com
mon practice. But he has seen such
a difference il the way cattle start on
feed. 1t takes a great deal longer to
get cattle started to gain on corn and
clover hay than where oil meal is fed
at first; with oil meal they start right
off. The corn and clover cattle make
their large gains along toward the
last. He would like to see the matter
tested scientifically. The oil meal will
show in the finish of the cattle if it
is fed at the beginning and not at the
close of the feeding period,

ULTIMATELY HOPE TO PLANT

PALESTINE.
A RECORD BREAKING ATTENDANCE

TANNERSVILLE, N. Y, June %
The annual convention of the Ameri-
today with a record breaking attend
ance of delegates from all parts of
the United States 1t is probably due
to the recent events in Russia and the
general agitation in favor of expat[at-
ing the Russian Jews and transporting
them to some other country or coun-
tries that the interest in the conven-
ton is greater this year than ever
before, and it is expected that the
urgency OF the situation will have a
tendency to remove a great deal of
the friction which has characterized
former meetings Of the Zionist fedora
ton.
There are about three hundred dele
gates in attendance at the Hotel Fair
mont, which has been especially re-
served for this event. The convention
will last until July 5, and promises to
be unusually successful. The princi-
pal subject of consideration will be
the question of how to bring about the
early realization of the Zionists, plan
of establishing Jewish colonies in Pal
estine. Many distinguished leaders of
the Zionist movement in this country
are here, among them Professor Solo
mon Schlecter, representing the He
brew biological seminary; Professor
Max Schlessinger, Hebrew Union COL
lege in Cincinnati; DR.. ]. L. Magnes,
DIR. Dembit, of Louisville, KY, and
many others.
Last year the Zionist convention
was held in Philadelphia, the year be-
fore in Cleveland, o., and three years
ago in Pittsburg, Pa. Each of these
meetings has marked a great increase

SLAYER OF SISTER A SUICIDE.
Montana Woman at Point of Death
Confesses a Dark Crime,

Confesses Dark Crime.
HAMILTON, Mont June 29.-It is
possible that the attempted suicide of
Mrs. Emma Harris, widow Of DR.. E. c.
Harris, who shot and probably fatally
wounded herself at her home here yes
terday, will result in revealing the facts
of an old murder
Since she shot herself the woman is
said to have declared that she MUIR
dered her sister, who was also the
wife of Dr. Harris, fifteen years ago.
The present Mrs. Harris is 81 and is
the third wife of the dead physician,
his second wife having been the sister
of the woman who attempted suicide.
Since her husbands death, ten years
ago, the woman has supported herself
by dressmaking. Yesterday afternoon
Professor Owen, who resides next door
to her, heard a pistol shot and a
scream. He ran to the house and. find
ing all the doors and windows locked,
had to break down door with an ak.
He found Mrs Harris lying on the
floor with a bullet wound near her
heart
A physician was summoned, but the
woman declared that she did not want
his services, as her strongest desire
was to die. While delirious from pain
she several times repeated the state
ment that she had murdered her sister.
Later, when conscious, she stated that
she had written letter to the son
of the dead sister, who resides at Sc
attic, that would explain everything.
Persons familiar with the circum-
stances say that the second Mrs. Har-
ris died rather mysteriously while this
woman was living with her and the
doctor. and that the latter few years
later married the younger sister, but
did not long survive his third marri-
age.
An investigation win be made of the
womans alleged statements.

wages made in 1904. This request was

formed trust" and now refuse to pay
the express charges on goods. This
was predicted some time ago by many
country papers. 1t is only matter OF
time until the department store mail
order business will be closed chapter
The country people are waking up to
the fact that they can get better goods
at lower prices of their home merchants.
Besides, if the goods are not as repre-
sented you are sure the home merchants
will make it right, and it won't take a
month to do it either.-Ex.
