Ladv Warwick,a WHITE peacock.

The agricultural school which the
Countess of Warwick founded in Essex
ten years ago. and which Is to be closed
forthwith on account of lack of support,
was founded for the purpose of supply
ing a sound education to boys and girls
between the ages of IL and IL who in
tended to follow rural pursuits. Those
who know how hard the countess has
worked to make this and similar
schemes a success will understand her
keen disappointment.
Outside her work, Lady Warwick finds
chief recreation in her garden and in
the society Of her various pets. Among
the latter must be numbered some sixty
peacocks, which are to be seen about
the grounds at Warwick castle. Lady
Warwick takes immense pride in these
birds, and tends them with great care.
There is one pure white bird which never
mixes with the others, but stands aIoof
In splendid isolation"
The oldest man employed on the estate
says his father could not remember the
time when it was not at the castle.
which would make it nearly q century
old at least. Although his wonderful
white lace tail Is getting very thin he
exhibits no other sign Of age, but he
never associates or feeds with the other
peacocks.-Tit-Bits.

Boat for the Farm.

The plank boat illustrated herewith
Is made for general farm work and Is
used In winter to draw manure from
the yard and stable to the field. 1t Is
constructed OF four ten-inch, crooked
maple planks, two and one-half inches
thick, with an 8x21a inch frame pinned
and bolted on for Sides 1t has an
iron clasp made Of old wagon tire, bent
and bolted or clinched, nailed across
the top of the back end and top OF the
sides, as indicated, to hold them firmly
In place. The front end has 2xS-inch
piece bolted on top.
Its greatest utility lies in the hinged
or swiveled tongue, made with two
clasps or clevises to hold 1t to the boat.

four long links attached to the tongue
with bolt swtvels. The ends Of each
chain brace are dropped onto the bent
up end of five-eighths-inch bolt, ten
inches long before bent up, with the

Hogs for Strengthening.

Hogs to be slaughtered should not
be fed twenty-four hours before slaugh-
tering. They will not bleed freely.
Nor should they become heated by
chasing, or any other cause. It like
wise has tendency to check the flow
OF blood. Nor should a hog be scald-
ed until fully expired. After the hog
is hung up and the intestines, lungs.

out, split the hog right through the
center, leaving small attachment
near the tail and at the end of the
snout, 80 as not to overbalance 1t;
and as soon as the leaf lard is cold

when selling dressed hogs. We have
found 1t safe practice. The heavier

TREMENDOUS GROWTH OF

Mayer Boot and Shoe COMPANY of Nh.
waukee, with Pacific Coast Branch =,
Seattle, One of Largest Concerns in
Country
Milwaukee can be proud to be the homa
of the Mayer Boot and Shoe COMPANY
Next to the fame of Milwaukee's press
| breweries comes the countrywide re1uts'
ton OF Mayer boots and shoes. Msvo,
shoes have won their reputation on onss
ity. The Mayer Boot and Shoe compant
has persistently refused to lower quail
ity to enable it to sell shoes at a lowe,
price, and by maintaining this honest and
superior quality and keeping in the front
ranks in style, it has gradually won tbs
confidence of thousands of shoe wearers
who purchase Mayer-made shoes year
after year-who look at the Mayer trade
mark as positive evidence of STYLE. com.
fort, and good wearing quality.
This quality policy so consistently pur.
sued has resulted in healthful and rapN
growth. In the twenty-five years since
the Mayer Shoe Company began opera.
in the last six months, during which the
last factory annex in Milwaukee has
been building, the volume of business has
so greatly increased that even with this
new annex the output lags far behind the
demand.
Including the new Seattle factory,
which has juest been completed, the total
capacity of the Mayer Boot and Shoe
Company exceeds 5000 pairs a day. This
remarkable output, together with the in.
ability of the Mayer Company to build
factories fast enough to keep pace with
the demand, is most convincing evidence
of the high quality of Mayer footwear
In the first place the Mayer shoes are
sensible. While good style is an impor-
tant factor, comfort Is always a greater
consideration; while conspicuous ex.
tremes are avoided, refined dressiness is
always secured. The exceptional dur
ability and splendid wearing quality Of
Mayer shoes are due to the use of only
the best leather and the employment Of
only the most experienced and skillful
workmen. From the wide range of styles
you are certain to find one which pleaseS.
The best known brands are the Honor
bilt" fine shoe for men: the Leading
Lady" fine shoes: the martha Washing
ton" comfort shoes; Special Merit
school shoes, and the ''Yerma" cusbion
shoes. If you want dress shoe, work
shoe, or a shoe dressy enough for gener-
al use, yet sturdy enough for rough
usage, it ig our belief that you can't do
better than to ask your dealer to supply
you with one of the Mayer brands.

welI-known authority on Rhenma-

ton, which any one can easily prepare
at home.
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-haif
ounce; compound Kargon, one ounce; ;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking well in bottle, and
take teaspoonful after each meal
and at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip-
ton pharmacy at small cost, and, be-
ing e vegetable extraction, are harm
less to take.
This pleasant mixture, II taken reg
ularIy for few days, is said to over
come almost any case Of Rheumatism.
The pain and swelling, If any, dimin-
Ishes with each dose, until permanent
results are obtained, and without In
Turing the stomach. While there are
many so-called Rheumatism remedies,
patent medicines, ETC., some Of which
do give relief, few really give perma-
nent results, and the above will, no
doubt, be greatly appreciated by many
sufferers here at this time.

the small towns elIcits the information
that these drugs are harmless and can
be bought separately, or the druggists

Thrashing stacked Grain.


In the majority of cases 1t pays to
stack grain In the corn belt, or In sec
tons where diversified farming, in dis
tinction from all small grain or one
crop farming, Is conducted. The differ
ence In the cost OF shock-thrashing and
stacking and stack-thrashing, is COM
paratlvely small, smaller than the aver
age farmer realizes. We have a few
figures on the subject from the Min
nesota Experiment Station which will
be of special interest in this connec-
ton. The cost per bushel Of shock
thrashing wheat was IA cents, while
the cost of stacking and stack-thrash-
Ing was 10.1 cents per bushel, diff
ference of 81 cents per bushel. In
the per bushel cost mentioned all labor,
machine cost, ETC., Is taken into con-
sideration. Let us see what this means |:
Under ordinary conditions stacked
grain will grade at least one grade
above grain that is thrashed from the
shock, and IN wet season the differ
ence may be a great deal more than
that If you watch the markets you
will find there is usually a difference
Of 2 cents In the price of No. / North
ern and No. 2 Northern wheat. This
means that the gain of one grade In
wheat nearly pays the extra cost In
cident to stacking and stack thrashing
as compared with shock-thrashing.

To Destroy ThistIes.

Salt or kerosene, applied after the
clump Of thistles is cut doWn, will de-
stroy them, but such method is slow
and costly where the field is In posses
sion Of the pest Many other methods
have been suggested fer their appli-
cation. A piece Of root stock an inch
long If left In the soil will make a
foundation for new crop. A piece
2 inches long will grow s to 10 feet
in six months, and weigh or A pounds,
and from each small piece from forty
to fifty heads will grow. An old rule
is to "plow the land in June drag
twice in July, pillow or 8 inches deep
two or three times In August and har.
row each time" Any tool that will
cut Off the tops In August or early In
September win destroy them, as they
cannot live II the tops are cut down.
Experiments made at the Illinois sta
ton succeeded In completely extermi-
mating them by observing the follow
Ing rules: ~ Cut the thistles when
In full bloom, as close to the ground
as possible, and then pillow 3 iDshes
deep, sowing millet or Hungarian grass,
seeding heavily, and then harrow. (2)
In September pillow the milIet under
and then seed heavily with rye. Plow
the rye under In May and again seed
to millet or Hungarian grass Cor plant
a hoe crop, such as cabbages or pota-
toes). (S) Continue the close cult
vatfon, being careful to keep the weeds
cut down from July until frost. II
frost Is not here too soon the con-
slant cutting down Of the thistles as
fast as they appear will greatly re-
duce their number or extermine them.
