CINCINNATI, O., Feb. 13.--The aston
lshing sale of Cooper's preparations in
the city has now reached such immense
figures that the medical fraternity at
at large have become forced into open
discussion of the man and his prepara-
tions.
The physicians as a whole seem to
be divided with regard to the young
mans success in Cincinnati-some be-
ing willing to credit him for what he
has accomplished, while others assert
that the interest he has aroused is
but a passing fad which cannot last,
and which will die out as quickly as
it has sprung up.
The opinion of these two factions is
very we'll voiced in the statements
made recently by two of number of
physicians who were interviewed on
the subject.
DR.. J. E. Carass, when questioned
about the matter said: Il have not

WEIGHING BY FIGURES.
Rn.s for the Measurement Of Hay in
Stacks.

A ton of dry hay contains all the
way from 800 to 900 cubic feet. de-
pending on the length of time 1t has
boon stacked and its quality.
The rules for measuring hay vary
in different localities, cube of seven
feet being considered in some places
a ton and a cube of eight feet being
considered a ton at other places. We
would like to sell hay by the seven
foot plan and buy it by the eight foot
plan. cube of hay eight foot each
way will contain BIZ cubic feet in all,
which with the average run of hay
will come very close to a ton. 1t takes
a very excellent quality of hay for a
cube of seven feet to make ton.
The rule for estimating the num-
Der of tons in an ordinary stack is to
multiply the length in feet by the
width in feet and this by the height to
point where the stack would be
level. This height is sometimes con
sidered one-half the height of the
stack. The result divided by 500 will
give very good measurement of hay,
being the number of tons in the
stack.
To estimate the contents of a round
stack, says the Farmer, we multiply
the square of the distance around the
stack in yards by four times the
height in yards and point off two
places from the right and this will be
the number of cubic yards in the
stack. which divided by 20 will equal
the number of tons. For in
stance. a stack measures 90 yards
around the bulge and is eight yards
high, to find the number of tons first
square the distance around the bulge
20 yards which would be 400, multiply
ing this by four times the height eight
yards, we would have 1880. pointing
off two places from the right making
12S, which, divided by 20 gives G
and 40 tons of hay in the stack.

Copyrighted. 1906. by Alfred C. Clarke
AS the years go by we are more
than ever brought face to face with
the vital question of trading at home.
During the past decade the habit of
buying goods abroad has grown to
such proportions that the country
merchant may well feel alarmed at
the probable outcome unless something
Is done to forestall the great calamity
which will surely result therefrom.
Trade conditions 25 years ago were
satisfactory. AT that time catalogue
houses were entirely unknown and
country merchants were ''monarchs of
all they surveyed" so to speak, in the
lines represented, and the people were
prosperous and happy. Perhaps not
so much because they generally had
money enough to meet their wants,
but because of the contentment that
prevailed throughout the country at
that time. The farmers raised good
crops, generally. and received good
prices for what they had to sell. They
sold their surplus stuff to the local
merchant and bought what they
wanted; and this was the height of

Some Facts Concerning the Life Work

Who Has Been Misrep-
resented,

Allegheny, Pa.-One of the busiest
men in the United States is Charles
T. Russell, of Allegheny.
Some people call him Rev. Charles
t. Russell, but he himself disclaims
all titles. believing that as Jesus and
the apostles disclaimed them SO
should he
Russell is the leader of a religious
movement which has its followers all
over the world. He is not the orig
inator of a sect, but simply claims
membership in the original church

described simply as the church.
whose names are written in heaven"
1t has no houses of worship of
its own, and Pastor Russells plan
for reaching his numerous and widely
scattered followers with his discourses
is a unique one.
He travels great deal preaching
in opera houses in the large cities
of the country. and through arrange
ments with various newspapers gladly
printing the discourses because of the
increased circulation which accrues to
them through the subscriptions of
Russell's many followers.
Thus he breaches each Sunday to a
congregation of hundreds of thou
sands.
Russell has been considerably dis
turbed of late over false and mislead-
ing accounts of his teachings and his
plans which have appeared in many
newspapers.
Among other things. it was recent
ly announced that he was endeavoring
to get control of Dowies Zion City
and turn it into home for his fol-
lowers.
Nothing could be more untrue
he declares. Il have no desire for
Zion City, and there have been no ne
gotiations whatever in the matter"
1t has also been published that
Russell is the no-hell preacher"-be-
cause he teaches there is no place of
future fiery torment.
Pastor Russell declares that he does
not believe in hell as a place of eter-
nal torment, but holds that the "sheol'
of the Old Testament and the "hades'
of the New Testament is the state of
death-that mankind. because of orig
inal sin, is under a death sentence,
which affects all mentally, morally
and physically. and eliminates in the
tomb.
He holds that redemption was from
the tomb, that Christ died for humani-
tvs sins, and that as result of this
redemption all mankind is ultimately
to be released from this state of death

AN EXPERIENCE.
The Danger of Foul Brood in Using
Old Bee Hives.

/ will endeavor to explain my ex-
perience in using old hives in which
some ones bees died, and not know
ing what was the cause of the bees
dying, writes bee keeper in an en-
change.
In 1905, during the swarming sea
son, | ran short of hives; so | used
rome of the hives that belonged to
the fellow who had formerly kept bees
where I am keeping mine. At one
time he had some 100 colonies, but
lost the mall in short time. He said
his bees died from neglect and moth
worms. So thought If the moths
were the cause there would be no use
in burning out the hives to prevent
foul brood. This summer | have had
three or four cases of foul brood,
which started up in these old hives.
This goes to show that his bees died
from foul brood. Now, my using those
lid hives may cause me to lose all of
my bees.
will say to anyone, if you are 60
ng to use hives that the bees have
lied in, unless you know for certain
hat they did not die from disease. I
you'd advise you to burn out the in

1t is considered that a fall of five
feet to the mile is ample: however.
many bitches are laid with fall of
only three feet to the mile. The
greater the fall, the less liable the

There are thousand and one items
of expense which the city merchant
has to meet that are entirely unknown
to the country merchant.
The time is rapidly approaching
when people who patronize mail order
houses will be looked upon as soon
zens of all commemorative and will
suffer ostracism at their hands.
Cities and towns are built by COM
bined efforts of the residents thereof;
not by foreign capital. So too are our
churches and schoolhouses built It
may be true that in many instances
eastern capital has been employed to
make improvements in the west, but
always with good round interest to
the lender of the money. No one ever
heard of case where an eastern man
or firm contributed to western enter
prise for the fun of the thing. Nor
did you ever hear of case where any
mail order or catalogue house ever
contributed to any church building
fund. Nor yet did they ever build or
help to build any of our schoolhouses.
You never heard of case of this kind
and you never will. All these eastern
sharks care for is your dollar and
you know it, and when they have got
ten that they have no more use for
you. Then why should you patronize
them? You can go to your home mer-
chant any day in the year and if you
are short of change, he will extend
you credit. If you are sick and I'M
able to work the home merchant will
see that your family is provisioned
until you get on your feet again. He
Will do all of this and at the same
time furnish the same grade of goods
at the same or even at less price.
Will the catalogue merchant do this?
A society could be organized and
designated as the Peoples Protec-
tive Association" An organization
of this kind could be perfected in
every town and hamlet in the coun-
try. Merchants and business men
would push these organizations for
the reason that II would be to their
interest to do SO. After the organiza-
ton is formed and things are running
smoothly questions of the day may be
discussed. and also matters pertaining
to the welfare of the immediate local
ity may be brought up which will in
clude the important question of trad
ing at home OF course it will be adj
mitted that this question will have to
be handled with gloves on. But there
are men in business in every town
who are equal to the emergency and
no trouble is anticipated in getting
the farmers and others who buy of
mail order houses to listen to reason.
Teach the farmer to love his coun-
try. his town and his people; make
him realize that they are his; that
they are part of his being, his life.
Teach him that it is to his financial.
moral and social interest to buy his
goods in his home town, and if he be
a man he will do it.
