Trust Buster" Kellogg Meets Tar tar" When lie Goes Into "What Is Hazardous
 Business"

New York-John D. Rockefeller did not look like man who expected to be put on the griddle Fri day when he walked with that gum shoe tread into the customs house, where evidence is being heard looking to the undoing of the Standard Oil Go. of New Jersey.
 Rockefeller is under the fire of Trust Buster" Frank B. Kellogg, the government s special counsel Friday, but the high-priced lawyers for the richest tru1t in the world seem to have stolen a march on Uncle Sam and his trust buster,' in that Kel- logg will not be permitted to cross examine the head of the gigantic monopoly as to events that occurred after 1882.
 Trust Agreement Entered Into In 1882.
 It was in 1882 that the trust agree ment was entered into by Rockefeller and his associates. Up to that time it was the Standard oil Go. of Ohio. Rockefeller has told how he and his company" dealt fairly to man and woman 10 rich rival and street cor ner competitor"
 Rockefeller and his lawyers man aged to get the exciting history of the company which he was unfolding stop ped after the Standard became an actual trust.
 In doing this the probe which kel- logg had sharpened for Rockefeller has been dulled. Roekefeller's law yer's withdrew him from the witness stand when he began treading on thin ice, and the attorneys for the gov ernment will' not be able to drag him to those deep waters.
 They can cross-examine him as far as he has gone with his wondrous story of how the Standard Oil Go. builded it's mountains of gold out of a borrowed S2,000, and they can ask him a few questions about how he and the Pennsylvania Railroad Go. en- tered into an agreement by which he drew rebates from the railroad com pany.

The Bar ls Up,

But, beyond the vital year. 1882, Rockefeller has told no story. and Kellogg can not hurl questions at him regarding the truth or falsity of the same.
 It was all very clever. Some per sons had looked for some trick move on the part of the Standard Oil al torneys, but they had not expected just what came off Thursday.
 Kellogg plunged at once into his crossexamination when the oil king took the stand.
 T believe you stated Mir. Rocke- feller. that the oil business was a business of great hazard 2" Yes.
 The element of that hazard which you mention was the uncertainty of production?" Yes"
 That was the principal element?" "The element which l mention had ref erence to the instability of the invest ment in oil, there being no knowledge when the supply would cease

Carried Fortune With Him.

A specimen of the type of indi.
vidual who helps to bring on finan-
cial disturbances was seen the 9th.
er day in a popular downtown res
taurant. In plain view of perhaps
twoscore people handsomely dress
ed young man took out roll Of
bills from waistcoat pocket and
proceeded to count them before an
older friend sitting vis-a-vis.. When
the friend realized that the roll con-
sisted of fifty $1,000 bills he remon-
strated and told the youth to put
the money away. But the other pro-
ceeded to take revolver from an
other waistcoat pocket and laid it
ON the table near the roll of bills,
with the remark, That will protect
it." It transpired from the CONVEX
sation that the young man had taken
his entire fortune from perfectly
solvent institution and was carrying
it in his pocket.-From the Philadel-

SHEEP ON THE FARM.

"Sheep return more fertility to the
soil than any other animal. The cat
tlemen on the big western farms are
just beginning to find that out. and
many of them, particularly in Tex
as. have sold their cattle and gone
into the sheep business.
"Sheep are the demand of the
small farmer who has none too much
money and cannot afford to go into
cattle. Our people are learning to
like mutton, because our farmers are
learning how to grow and fatten it,
and the demand will increase rapid
ly. There is no doubt that sheep
can be raised with profit on any farm
where cattle and hogs can be made
to pay"
We do not believe that any regu-
Iarly conducted live stock farm Is too
rich for a flock of sheep. 1t is GER
tainly true that the land with much
poor soil cannot afford to get along
without the flock On the land whose
owner is addicted to the grain-grow-
ing habit, caring very little
for live stock and their uses,
the flock might be profitab-
ly maintained where other stock
might be out of the question. Their
advantage lies principally in the fact
that they are easily confined and fed
to advantage upon tbs vegetation that
~ould otherwise go to waste. In the

HEN HOUSE PLAN.

Win you please send me plan
for a hen house? / want one which
will accommodate about a hundred
hens. I want it to include a place
for setting hens and raising young
chicks. The site selected is an or.
chard containing several acres. Please
state dimensions. p. d. "A pretty
house for 100 hens ought to be at
least 12x40 feet; larger would be
better. It should front the south,
and be feet high jim front, sloping
down to four feet ON the north side.
The windows should be on the south,
SO as to take advantage of all the
sunshine in winter. Sometimes mus
lin is used instead OF glass; it is
much cheaper. Be sure and provide
scratching shed or apartment; the
hens need to exercise and roll in the
dust in winter as well as in summer.
The perches should be adjustable, SO
as to be taken down and cleaned,
put them on the back side and the
laying boxes in front-Indiana Farm

TENDER TEATS.

Scab and warts on cows teats are
troublesome in milking and should
not be neglected. For scab, give one
pound of salts, one-fourth pound Of
ginger in one quart of warm water
three days apart for three times
and rub teats with carbolic salve.
For warts, treat them when sore with
vaseline or carbolic salve. Such
warts seem to come and go without
any apparent cause. Often cows
teats are covered with white spots,
smooth and round after warts have
entirely disappeared without the ap-
pIication of any remedy. These spots
seldom develop into warts again.
