B.. & st A. R. R. In Hands Of a
Receiver.

AS a result of a meeting of the
creditors of the B. G.. & st A. R. R.
held at Chipley recently, which was
attended by A. j. Gay and R. l.. Nc
Kenzie, prominent creditors from
this place, that road has been placed
in the hands of a receiver.
A Chipley dispatch of the 2Sth to
the Pensacola Journal has the follow
ing to say about the proceedings.
"The B. c.. & ST. A. Railroad, lately
operated from Chlpley to Pine Log,
Is miles south of here, has been
placed in the hands of receiver, Mr.
A. d. Campbell, of this place, with
instructions from the court to operate
the road to the best advantage and
use the proceeds for the betterment
Of the road. This road is built In
first-class style with IS pound iron
half way to tide-water and the balance
of the way is graded. 1t is to be
hoped that it will soon go into the
hands of some good company that
will finish 1T to st Andrews Bay. 1t
has been doing a good business haul
ing down feed and other freight to,
and lumber back from the several
mills on the road to the l.. q n. at
Chipley."
For some time the road has been
doing but little or nothing, with no
one giving it attention. 1t would re-
quire but small sum to complete the
track to the Bay, and it is thought
that now that the creditors have
taken the matter in hand, something
will be done with the property. With
an extension northwesterly to Troy
the road could be made one of great
Importance and become an i'm
portant feeder to at least two large
systems.

DR.. John Gurrie of Apalachicola, Fla,
where there was great prevalence
of fevers in summer. The doctor
realized that cooling the patients
room would undoubtedly be of benefit,
and therefore set himself to devising
various methods of cooling air and
water. In 1850 he succeeded in pro-

A shortage of building material and
large increase in price on what can
be had, has caused check in build

which the German American Lumber

have advanced prices so per cent.
Such increase in price tends to stop

CLEAN THE CHuRN.

If the churn is we'll washed after
each using and once a week treated
with slaked lime, it can be kept in
good, sweet condition. The lime
should be freshly slaked and in a
liquid condition when put in the
churn. A pailful or two of this fluid
will be sufficient for each churn. BY
rotating the, churn few times the
lime will be spread all over the in
side. Let the churn remain in this
condition until ready for use again.
When ready for use put in some
warm water and the lime will read
lily come off. But if it is allowed to
remain in the churn too long it will
form lime carbonate, and will be
more difficult to remove.-C olman's

SELECTING TIE RAM.

There is one fact that can never
be impressed too strongly upon any
flock owner, and that is that the
ram is half the flock. Moreover, he
is the important half. 1t is through
him that improvement in the flock
is brought about, whether it be in
form, wool, breed, type or what not.
In the older sheep breeding coun-
tries, this is a we'll recognized fact
by the raiser of market sheep, as we'll
as by the breeder Of fancy animals.
The English flock master does not
hesitate to use rams costing perhaps
500 to produce lambs for market
purposes, and it is only by the in
come from his flock that ne is able
to pay the high rent he must give
for the land. And he has found
that it is only by the use of the
best rams obtainable that sheep farm
ing will pay under such conditions.

CAUSE OF MILK FEVER

One of the most general causes of
milk fever, which attacks cows from
six to forty-eight hours after calving,
is the carelessness of many farmers
and dairymen in milking the cows
udder out clean just before or after
calying, which allows the glands Of
the udder to flop together, which ir-
ritates the glands and causes the fe-
yer. Nature places an abundance of
milk in the udder at this time for the
above purpose, and only part of it
should be drawn at once, repeating
it frequentlys>-ss. the milk serves to
keep the udder distended and full,
and acts like the air treatment does.

sILAGE OR ROOFS FOR COWS.

In bulletin by the Michigan sta
ton on Roots Supplementary to
Silage for Dairy Cows, we are given
these conclusions: The addition of
roots to an already complete ration Of
silage, clover hay and grain for a
dairy cow stimulated both milk and
butter fat production. In case a large
production is desired, as in making
records, roots might be used to ad-
vantage. The percentage of butter
fat in the milk was constant, whether
on the root ration or without roots.
The COWS gained in weight more on
the root ration than when fed with
out roots, but the difference was not
great. The cost Of the ration mem
toned was varied with the addition Of
roots to such a degree as to lessen the
profit of production, milk costing AZ
cents more per 100 pounds, and but
ter fat IL cents per pound as a re-
suit.

How the NationaIities Sleep.

There is great diversity in the meth
ods OF sleeping among people of differ
eht nations Indeed. the things neces-
SaIy TO procure sleep for one indiVid-
ual appear frequently to be just the
things that would keep another awake
all night
Inc European or American. in order
TO sleep well, ordinarily requires a soft
pillow under his head: but the Japan
est, stretching himself on rush mat
on the floor. puts a hard, square block
OF wood under his head, and does not
sleep well if he does not have ii.
The Chinese makes a great TODD in
the matter of his bed, which is very
low, indeed, scarcely rising from the
floor, but is often carved exquisitely of
wood; and it never occurs to him to
make it any softer than rush mats will
render it.
While the people of the northern
countries cannot sleep unless they have
plenty of room in which to stretch their
legs. the inhabitants of the tropics
often curl themselves up like monkeys
at the lower angle of a suspended ham
mock. and sleep soundly that way.
The robust American will cover linn
self with a pair of blankets and throw
his window open to the air. even in the
CSdu Vi winter, ana ne VIII not some
times complain if there is a little drift
of snow across the sill in the morning.
The Russian, on the contrary, likes
no sleeping place so we'll as the top of
the big soapstone stove in his domicile.
Crawling out of this blistering bed in
the morning, he likes to take plunge
i'm cold stream, even if he has to
break through ice to do so.
The Laplander crawls, head and all,
into bag made of reindeer skin, and
sleeps warm and comfortable within it.
The East Indian, at the other end of
the world, also has sleeping bag; but
il is more porous than the Lapander's
Its purpose is to keep out the mos
qOitoeS more than to keep warm.
While the American clings to his
feather pillow, he has long since dis
carded his old-fashioned featherbed in
favor of the hair or straw or felt mat
tress The featherbed has been rele-
gated to the country, and many people
that slept on it in their childhood found
it uncomfortable in their later years.
The Germans not only sleep on a
featherbed, but underneath one as
well. The feather covering used in
Germany, however, is not so large or
thick as the one used as a mattress,
and the foreigner that undertakes to
sleep beneath it often finds his feet suf-
fering from cold, while his shoulders
are suffering from heat.

A Rhine of Regret.

Full many thing has made me sad,
AS meekly through this life 1 go,
And seldom am l ever glad
That 1 live in this age of woe;
But one thing always makes me sigh,
AS through this vale of tears
tread:
Last night 1 let a chance slip by
What clever things 1 might have
said,
How poignant is the pain that wakes
Within my heart, when from some
rout
saunter as the daylight breaks
And sunlight flashes all about,
And think of scores of witty things
That should have come into my head.
How awful that sad hour that brings
The thought of clever things unsaid
Too late they flash into my mind.
Too late those brilliant sayings fit
Across my brain! Ali how unkind
Those bon mots fine and exquisite.
1 might have been the best of all
At repartee in my own way.
How sad am ! when l recall
The clever things l did not say.

The truth is that in America, as in

decline of what may properly be called
aristocracy. 1t has come to be reeog-
nized more and more that the older
form of aristocracy was deceptive, ana
that. as SCOTS Halbert Glendinnlng
says, every prominent family had its
origin in one humble man; and mas
