The Peaincket,s Name.

The pea in this word comes from
no garden, as is suggested, but from
the Saxon word pad, which in itself
means jacket of stout, coarse cloth.
AS pad became more and more for
gotten in speech the synonym jacket
was added to make the meaning
clear. and then the two words coales-
cling became fixed as the proper name
of a convenien. coat OF the REFER

longer alongshore than on the sea.

as the monkey jacket, and that SO

Look Happy.

In a recent address of Professor G..
L. Mckay, to Iowa dairymen, he
called attention to this condition, viz:
why, do you know that in some
of the European countries to-day they
are dairying successfully on land
worth from $400 to $1,000 per acre?
The same markets are open to our
people that are open to those people,
and no duty bars the way. The diff
ference is right here; they are dairy
ing intelligently with good cows,
Their average is nearly 800 pounds
of butter per COW, while ours is about
lao pounds per COW. We need a
great awakening among the produc-
ers of this State along Intelligent
lines Of dairying; just such an awak.
ening as has taken place among the
corn producers"

With hogs one of the plainest in
dications that they have been crowd
ed with feed when too young is the
breaking down in the feet.
No single grain ration meets the
entire wants of the young growing
or fattening animal. In all cases,
and especially with pigs, a good vari-
ETY. gives the best results.
Dust, cobs and other filth should
not be allowed to accumulate on the
feeding floors. Cleanliness in the
feeding places will aid materially in
maintaining health.
1t is much better to have the pigs
little hungry and come to their
feed with a sharp appetite than to
have them lazy and Indifferent about
it.

The amount of food consumed by
swine in comparison with other ami

great.
Young breeders in purchasing
breeding stock should always give
quality the preference before fancy
points; when these can be had to-

come first.

Poultry Feed.

Cottonseed meal is attracting at
tention as a valuable poultry food.
The people of the South have used
it more or less for years. 1t is just
beginning to be used in other local
tiles. Some use a mixture of corn
meal and wheat bran, wheat mid
dlings, flour and cottonseed meal of
equal parts. This is made into a very
thick, dry mash and then fed Cot

Rely and Unholy Ambitions Mark

3. 7-11.
One of the most interesting Incl.
dents recorded in the Word is given
us in the main reference for our les
son. They are on the way to Jeru-
salem, and as they go Jesus has told
them of the coming days of sorrow
and testing. He assures them that
the way to victory lieA through the
valley of humiliation. It seems that
there is a mingling Of strange emo
tions in the breasts of the disciples
James and John and their mother
seem to have reasoned something
like this: "Our Master has a hard
experience to pass through. We will
stand by him through 1t all, and Ger.
talnly he will see our devotion, and
he will reward us with the best
places in the kingdom" 1t is to be
feared that, although loyalty was
there, yet the thought of exalted
position was more in their thoughts.
Their ambition for preferment was
hardly restrained. The attitude OF
the other ten disciples toward them
for making the request shows that
there was in their own hearts the
same spirit that they condemn In
the two. 1t furnishes Jesus with an
opportunity to teach them, and all
ages, the striking contrast between
the spirit of the world and OF
Christ's kingdom. mot to be min
istered unto, but to minister" In
the reference in John, Jesus charges
home to their hearts that the sell
fishness which led them to seek
honor one of another made it impos'
sible for them to believe in him.
In Philippians, Paul takes a fair
look at all the things in his posses
sion and life, by which he might
claim honor among men. and then
says he counts them as nothing.
What transformation of the
church and of the world If the young
people could be thrilled with a noble
ambition! The man who simply ex'
lists with no purpose to make his
life tell for anything in this world Is
an incumbrance to the ground
There must be some principle firing
the soul with enthusiasm if the life
is to be of any benefit to the conn
munity.
The worlds idea of greatness i'
position, honors, a great name, popu'
la1ity, and such things. Success
wins the applause of men. But God
has a different standard. He does
not look so much at the thing done
as at the heart Of the doer of the
work. Some Of the greatest heroes
that ever lived on earth will never
have their names in books

Economy in Beef Making.

Here are some points in economical
beef production that should not be
forgotten at any time and that should
certainly be remembered at this time,
when most of the calves are starting
on their careers. 1t costs much less
to put pound of gain on an animal
during its first year than during its
fourth year or its third year. Hence
in economical beef production the
animals must be made to gain rapid
ly right from the start. Any slack
up in gain means loss. The gain
of the calf at the time depends on
the way it is fed and handled. But
so does its gain in the future to a
considerable extent. Start the calf
right and it is easy to keep it going
right Care in handling and feeding
the calf during the first two months
of its life pays big.-Weekly Witness.

Our Part and His.

Providence hath a thousand keys
to open a thousand doors for the de-
liverance of His own when it has
ccme to the greatest extremity. Let
us be faithful and care for our own
part, which is to do and suffer for
Him, and lay Christ's part on Him
self, and leave it there; duties are
ours, events are the Lords. When
our faith goeth to meddle with events
and to hold a court (if l may so
speak, upon Gods providence, and
beginneth to say, How wilt Thou do
this or that?" we lose ground--we
have nothing to do there; it is our
part to let the Almighty exercise His
own office and steer His own helm

ness of the skin it can be cured by
pairing away and removing bird to
soft or sandy run. But If neglected
for some time the corn increases,

foot. causing great pain and impedi.
ment in moving about, besides being
very unsightly. When it has reached
this stage it is very difficult / cure
but 1t is cruel to allow a fowl to &c
hobbling about with this distressing
complaint. Great relief may be given
by penning the bird up in a coop
thickly covered with straw and poul.
ticing the foot until the parts become
quite soft, when the yellow, cheesy
matter can be squeezed out. But this
is tedious work; it is much better
to take the small blade of a sharp
pen-knife, insert it right through the
bad spot and cut outwards, severing
the web in two. 1t will bleed freely,
but if the operation is done under a
water tap. blood will soon cease to
flow. All the yellow secretions can
then be removed, and when all are
taken away thoroughly, wash out
with strong phenyle and water; ap.
ply srude phenyle to the wounds and
carefully bind up the foot with linen
bands, tying each on separately so
that the fowl can not pick them OF.
The bird should then only be allowed
to run on sand or straw until the
wound is healed.-Farmers' Home

Nothing is so tangible as a vision;

as much to our mothers?

each, in Moses life, the least event

the most important.
Every Christian of our days has a
burning bush better than that OF
Moses-the Bible.

and at the same time make so evi

JOHN BROWN GUILTY
Of hAksLAUGHTER.
Sentenced to Serve Eight Years In
Maryland Penitsntiary-0theT
Court News.

The case of John Brown, indicted for
the murder of Truman Root, which oc-
CURED on the night Of February 14th,
at the home of Oscar Friend, near
Friendsville, where 10th men had gone
on their way home from Friendsville,
was taken up in the Circuit Court on
Tuesday morning Of this week before
Judges Boyd and Hendt rson, who sat
as jury in the case.
For the State there was eight wit
nesses and for the defense seventeen
were examined. The testimony show
ing that both Root and Brown were in a
state of intoxication and that they be-
came involved in quarrel while in the
Friend house, terminating in fight in
which Brown stabbed Root to death
witha knife, the fatal injury being a
thrust With the We apon which entered
and severed the jrRu'ar VEN, producing
death within very few minutes there
after.
The first witness examined by the
state was Mrs. Friend, who stated that
she is twenty-four years of age; that
she was married at IA and is the mother
of three children; her husband is now
confined in an asylum for the insane.
She stated that while she was in an ad-
joining room the murder was committed;
that she did not see the fight between
the men. She was corroborated in her
testimony by her little daughter.
The other witness for the State gave
testimony of a circumstantial nature;
how the body of Root was found lying
upon bed; the condition of his clothing
and the lack of evidence about the room
that fight had taken place therein.
For the defence Brown was placed on
the stand and stated that Root had
assaulted him by stricking him in the
face and from that moment everything
that transpired was a blank; that he
had no recollection OF having cut Root
and that he was unaware that a crime
had been committed until the following
morning when he was placed under ar
rest by the States officials.
The testimony of nearly all the wit
nesses was of such nature as to ex-
clude it from public print and therefore
this paper cannot 90 into the details.
The case was concluded yesterday
afternoon and this morning Judge Hen
derson, who appeared alone upon the
bench, J ldge Boyd having returned to
Cumberland last night, rendered the
verdict of the Court sitting as a jury.
Judge Henderson said:
| There is no doubt in the mind Of the
Court that the killing of Truman Root
was done by John Brown. All the test
imony in the case tended to prove this
