wH1sKEY FOR RHEUMATISM.

The increased use of whiskey for
rheumatism Is causing considerable
discussion among the medical frater-
nifty. 1t is an almost infallible cure
when mixed with certain other lngre-
dents and taken properly. The follow
ing formula is most effective: ITO one
half pint of good whiskey add one ounce
of Toris Root compound and one ounce
of Syrup Sarsaparilla Compound. Take
in tablespoonful doses before each meal
and before retiring" Toris Root Com

state they fill this prescription often
and have seen its good results.

Many farms where sheep are kept
are equipped with a barn cellar In
which the flock has beer kept with
varying success. The barn cellar Is
an excellent place for sheep IL rightly
arranged. There should be plenty Of
openings to the south, allowing sun to
reach all parts Of the stable so as to
keep 1t thoroughly dry. Thorough
drainage is essential.
There must be ventilation at the
rear Of the stable. A bad practice Is to
keep the sheep In stables on stable
manure, says Farm and Home. The
fermenting manure destroys the color
and texture of wool A hint which has
been worth many dollars to me Is to
use only long straw, hay or weeds for
bedding sheep. If short straw or saw
dust is used 1t gets into the fleece and
is an everlasting nuisance.

Good sheep Barn a Poor one

GOOD sheep Barn a Poor One.
A good sheep barn Is a poor one.
This may seem to be absurd, but the
facts support such a statement. There
Is no question but that 1aany focks are
rendered unhealthy and therefore less
productive by reason of too close
housing. In few sections do sheep need
more than windbreak and rain shed.
Some of our best shepherds have kept
their focks for decades with only such
sheds as would prevent the flock being
exposed to direct winds, rain and snow
storms.
The cut shows the type of sheep
barn found on the farm of a success
full shepherd, which might be copied
with success. In this instance the
sheep are kept upon forage crops grown
in four adjacent lots. The flock may
be turned into any lot at pleasure.

equipped with a large ventiIating win
dow in the end near the gable or two

Transportation Vital Factor.

A conspicuous example of the determin-
ing influence in trade of favorable freight
rates is reported from Europe in the
award to German steel makers of large
order from South America for the filing
of which steel makers in the United
States had made bid. The order went
to the Stahlwerks Verbund, the Ger
man syndicate which is the largest pro-
ducer of steel rails in Europe, and which
handles about so per cent, of the steel
output of the German empire.
There is no better metal of its class
than the steel produced in the United
States by the mills of the United States
Steel Corporation, and if the placing of
the order was dependent upon the
merit of the Steel there would be no
doubt as to Americas standing in com
petition She would at least be on an
equal footing with the producers of the
very best in the Old World. But it was
the cost of shipment to South America
that settled the matter. Under The most
favorable conditions, the cost of delivery
ing the rails from the Pittsburg district
to Rosario. the South American destina-
ton, would have been So a ton, or an
aggregate of $4,000 for the full con-
signment. The Germans can deliver the
rails in South America for $3.50 a ton,
probably because the transportation is
entirely by water, and thus effect a saw
ing of SS7, 500 for the purchaser as
against the total cost of material and
shipment from the interior American
mills.
Pittsburg's handicap in this instance
was the rail haul to the coast. This
will probably be eventually removed by
the establishment of steel mills along
the Atlantic. A writer in the current
number of the Engineering Magazine
states that eventually the coal and low
grade iron in the Appalachian fields
along the Atlantic coast will be utilized
for the manufacture of steel In cou-
junction with rich foreign ores at points
adjacent TO water transportation. He
points out that the duty on imported ores
would be rebated on foreign shipments
of the finished product, but ''even with
out this provision the ores used by a
seaboard plant would not cost more than
lake ore at Pittsburg." This is of great
interest in connection with the loss Of
the South American order for steel rails
to the German steel manufacturers.

chosen. If the ground Is clayey the
roots should be placed on top of the
ground. II it is gravelly and drainage

placed in a gable shaped pile about 5

Explained.

The we'll known explanation that the
STIFFNESS of the atmosphere in a church
is the cause of sleepiness in members
of the congregation is according to the
Revue ScientiiQue, insufficient" If
this hypothesis were tenable, argues our
authority, it is manifest that the con-
gregation or those members of it who re
act readily to a soporific agent would
go to sleep before the sermon began.
Now, it is notorious that the sleeping
is done during the sermon. The true
explanation is that the auditor uncon-
sciously hypnotizes himself or herself by
concentrating the gaze for long period
on a single object; whether the counte-
nance of the preacher or the pulpit or
what not. The more desperate the eff
fort to heed the sermon the surer this
effect of self-hypnotization. Those who
sleep during the sermon are consequent
ly the very members of a congregation
who are entitled to higher praise for
their conscientious effort to follow the
words of the preacher-Current Litera

BUILD A CHURCH AT NIGHT.
Work of a Congregation That Could Not
Afford to Pay for Labor.


With the Hghr from dozen lanterns
helping them to see where TO place
joists and how to nail on weatherboards,
ten members of the Yecker Avenue Bap-
fist church worked until after IL o'clock
last night on their new church building.
The Yecker Avenue Baptist church
was organized about three years ago. I'm
til recently the congregation worshipped
in small frame building. Additions to
the congregation made a larger building
necessary and it was decided to build q
church.
But the congregation was not a
wealthy one, and the members felt that
they could not give money enough for a
new building. Then Rev. William l..
Harms, pastor of the church, had an
idea.
We can afford to buy material for a
new building and each one of us can give
a little of his time in work." Mr.. Harms
said. The congregation agreed and the
material was bought.
Every day and many nights, under the
direction of some of the members of the
congregation who are carpenters, the
work goes on. Those who cannot work
by day give little of their time at night,
and the women of the church have coffee
ready for the men when the work is

Profitable cattIe Feeding.


The Missouri Experiment Station at
Columbia has issued a very elaborate
and handsomely illustrated bulletin on
the most successful methods of fatten-
ing cattle, by Dean II. J. Waters.
This bulletin summarizes the expe-
rience and conclusions of about 1000
Of the most experienced and successful
cattle feeders of Missouri, Illinois and
Iowa. and contains also a summary Of
the results of a large number of tests
with different kinds of feed, different
ages of cattle. etc, conducted by the
Experiment Station of Columbia.
1t considers such practical questions
as the most profitable age to fatten cat
tie, the proper weight, the best season
of the year, the best method of pre-
pairing feed, the best of shelter, the
market demands, the best sort of
roughness, etc. 1t Is illustrated with
cuts OF the different types of beef
cattle, including excellent illustrations
of the fat steer herd exhibited by the
college this season at the Interstate
Fair, Kansas City, the Missouri State
Fair. Sedalia, the American Royal,
Kansas City, and the International
Live Stock Exposition, Chicago. These
steers won nine championship prizes,
seventeen first prizes, sixteen second
prizes, seven third prizes and two
fourth prizes. Every steer won at
every show excepting one steer in one
