Watkins of Baltimore, who went to
Frederick, Nd, and was married,

correct his name on the marriage IL

giving his name, and signing it as
Milton whitney," With twenty mn
utes to be married and catch the
evening train for home, he called
on the pastor of the Evangelical Re-
formed church, where the ceremony
was performed. After arriving home
the bride discovered that the name on
that part of the license retained by
her was minus her husbands last
name, and his attention was called
to the mistake. He communicated
with the pastor, and the latter went
to the courthouse and found that the
young man had made the mistake In
his own handwriting. Mr.. Watkins
returned to Frederick, made affidavit
to his correct name, and the error
was corrected.

The Next Expositlon.

On June 1 ground was broken for
the Alaska-Yukon Exposition, which
is to be held in Seattle in 1909, open
ing on June 1 of that year, and clos
ing on October 10. Its object is to
celebrate the fortieth anniversary of
the purchase of Alaska. That ami
versary comes in 1907 instead OF in
1909, but nearness to the Lewis and
Clark Exposition in Portland. Oregon,
in 1905, and the lack of time for
adequate preparation compelled the
selection of 1909 as the date for the
observance. The New York Chamber
of Commerce, the oldest and by far
the most important body of that sort
in the United States, recently adopt
ed resolutions commencing the Alas
ka-Yukon Exposition, and urging the
Legislature at Albany to make an ap-
preparation for the participation of
the state of New York therein. Many
of the states-Pennsvlvan Missouri.
Utah, California, Washington and
others-had already made arrange
ments to be represented at the expo
sition, and others are expected to do
so in the sessions of their Legis-
latures next winter. The exposition
is to cost $10,00O000, is to cover $50
acres of ground and is to have u ex-
hibit palaces.-Leslie's Weekly. %

Notes Of the Farm.

If you want big, fat sheep you must
push the lambs from the start and
continue feeding them to the finish.
Unless fowls are provided with
plenty of water during the early win
ter they are liable to contract disease.
A flock of sheep will keep the wood
pasture pretty well cleaned up, but
they cannot live on weeds and brush.
Sand is a good substitute for grit
until the chicks are a week old; after
that some coarser material must be
provided.
Bear in mind that rape pasture for
a change is more excellent for sheep
as well as pigs. Grow a few acres
and try it.
Meat in some form is necessary II
the best development is to be secured,
but feed it carefully the first two
weeks, or you will cause bowel trou-
bic.
1t is not safe to be governed by the
results of 4 trial of one year on the
farm, for frequently results are
brought about by conditions which we
know nothing about.
The most nutritious hay is made
when grasses or clover are in bloom.
A delay of one week in the cutting pc
riod will make big difference in the
actual feeding value of the crop.
A pair of Toulouse or African geese
will cost as much as sheep; but
flock raised from them will be worth
much more than from ordinary breeds,
as the Toulouse will show an average
weight Of forty to fifty pounds per
pair when fully matured-that is,
when about three years old.

Fire experts abroad are much inter
ested in a newly-invented fire escape
for buildings which is being brought
out by a Vienna manufacturer 1t
consists of series of folding iron
ladders, contained in frames, attached
TO the window easements, each reach
ing to the window below. BY merely
turning a small winch on any floor
all these frames are pushed outward
from the buildings, the ladders ex-
tended and securely connected with
each other, thus forming a continuous
communica tion from the top floor to
the ground. The manipulation is ex-
tremely simple and occupies less than
a minute. When not in use the es-
cape is barely visible and does not
disigure the facade of the building in
the manner that the ardinary outside
iron staircase does. A public test Of
the new escape. which is the inven-
tion of Swiss engineer named
Scherrer, proved highly successful,
and the Vienna fire brigade represen-
tatives present expressed their entire
approval of it.-Philadelphia Record.

Influences of the Home.

The greater the evenness OF the
mothers life the stronger will be the
impulses for good upon the child. The
more the mother strives to be all that
she asks the child to be, the greater
the love. confidence that will be pro
voked.
After the confidence Of the child Is
secured, obedience must follow. There
is everything in setting the child an
example, and then by instruction and
reasonable determination leading it
into the path of its duty.
Firmness with child has its truest
value when 1t goes hand-in-hand with
instruction. To tell child that it
must do so and so Just because an
other wills it Is not enough. The child
mind asks for reasons. 1t wishes to
know why it must do this ard that
and 1t is entitled to know.-Chicago

Docking Lambs.

The lamb is docked when it is from
10 days to two weeks old. If left
until older me blood vessels are better
developed and there is chance Of the
lambs bleeding to death. At this
stage the wound heals quickly, and
growth is not interrupted. The sim
plest tool to use is a sharp, clean
butcher knife. If an attendant can be
had he holds the lamb in his arms,
feet up. With one hand he holds the
legs and with the other he draws the
skin around the tail within one inch
of the body toward the body so that
when the tail is cut off the skin will
slip back and partially cover the
stub of the tail. The tail is cut off
with the butcher knife while it lies
on small block of wood, and within
IL inches of the body.
After docking, the lambs are close
ly watched for an hour or two Some
times one bleeds more than he should
and string is tied about the stub to
stop the bleeding, after which the
string is removed.-Criterion.

is caused by the increase in the weight
of the COWS with advancing age. AT
any rate there seems to be parallel
between the two sets of figures for
the same cows. Young animals use
portion of their food for the formation
of body tissue, and it is to be expect
ed, therefore, that heifers will require
a larger portion of nutrients for the
production of milk or butter fat than
do others cows. After certain age
has been reached on the average sew
en- years of age, the food required for
the production of unit of milk or
butter fat again increases both as re-
CARDS dry matter and the digestible
components of the food. A good milch
cow of exceptional strength, kept un-
der favorable conditions, whose diges-
tive system has not been impaired by
overfeeding or crowding for high re-
suits, should continue to be profit
able producer till her twelfth year,
although the economy of her produc.
ton is apt to be somewhat reduced be-
fore this age is reached.

Ace to Breed Ijeifers,

Another step toward success in
building up your dairy herd, do not
breed any heifer until she is nearly
or quite two years old. Let the heifer
grow and make her body as large and
her constitution as strong as she can
be before the demands of motherhood
and of a milk producer are placed
upon her.
/ realize that there are those who
will tell, us that the dairy qualities
will be lost or injured by this delay
Nonsense! You have only to see the
injury that has been done by breed
Ing too young. You have only to no.
uce the weak, frail, understood crea-
lures, in the average farmyard, that
they call COWS, and realize how easily
these are subject to tuberculosis and
every other III that bovine flesh is heir
to, when the full Importance of my
claim will appear.
The leading. cause Of all this trouble
is breeding the heifers too young and
the balance can be charged to in
breeding. We need not make either
mistake. Whichever dairy breed you
select, do not inbreed, and do not
breed any heifer under two years Of
age.-lndiana Farmer.

Black Locust.

Black Locust is one of the most
persistent deciduous trees that we
have to produce itself from the
roots, and hence it is essential that
one study this particular variety so as
to know the right time to cut it if it is
to be killed at the root. Grbbing out
the trees and cutting them down at
different seasons of the year has been
tried. If you want the timber to last
long in the ground locust should be
cut in August or September, but if
you desire to kill the trees they
should be cut in July and then in Sep
tember the stumps should be peeled.
The next spring an occasional sprout
will show from the roots. These will
have to be treated the same as you
would weeds to get rid of them. The
black locust Is one of the best lasting
post timbers we have and should be
planted out on the prairie farms more
than it is, for this one item of post
timber. We do not think it will last
equal to the Usage orange, but it is
equal to red cedar and can be pro-
duced on ground at a much lower
price than we have to pay for posts
at the lumber yard.-jTarmers Tri-

The Railroad Trespasser,

At the recent national conference of
Charities and Correction at Mime
apolis, Mr.. o. F. Lewis of New York
delivered an address in which he set
forth certain striking facts concern
ing railroad vagrancy, declaring:
More vagrants are killed every year
on American railroads than the COM
bined totals Of passengers and train
men killed He states that statis-
tics show that in the five years from
1901 to 1905 $4,000 trespassers were
killed on American railroads, 10000
employees and only 1000 passengers.
Mr., Lewis quoted from President
Hill of the Great Northern road who
said that hundreds of idle men infest
empty cars on the Great Northern
during the summer months. and seek
to secrete themselves on every train
at any risk They get off trains while
in motion, and many suffer in life
and limb. Others fall off when
esleep.

The Problem in Russia.

All friends of individual liberty, Of

good fortune-the good fortune that

restraint that are inspired by patri-
otism. And yet there is doubt. The
Duma is not yet under the control of

bers favor political assassination be-
cause they think that all that has
been gained thus far has been by as.
sassination. The Constitutional Dem
ocrats desire Immediately a constitu-
tional monarchy, but not yet par
liamentaly government The Reac-

eft by the triumph Of the Radicals
and the consequent dissolution of the
Duma- The problem will work out
one way or the other; in the mean
time, no party yet dares to take q
positive step.-Harper's Weekly.

Soap Growing on Trees.

Visitors to Algeria describe an es-
tate, comprising about four square
miles and situated near the city of
Algiers. The owner, S. Bertrand, is
the president Of the Algeria Agricul-
tural society. Ee raises large guam
titles OF grapes, olives and oranges,
but also has plantation devoted to
what are called soap trees. These
bear berries, and every season thou
sands of tons Of them are gathered.
The interior Of berry consists of a
hard kernal and a yellowish sticky
pulp which can be converted into a
kind of soap. The product seems to
be destined to be of great service to
the cloth and linen manufacturers and
above all for domestic purposes, as 1t
can be used to clean linen and silken
fabrics and colored embroideries. The
colors are in this way renovated,

really too wet to cultivate. These
spots can be brought into use by
seeding with red-top and alsike clover.

they are valuable for hay. Fine crops
