The first woman to be ordained a
clergyman in the United States, Rev.
Antoinette L. Brown Blackwell, now
SO years old, is about to resume active
work In the Unitarian church. She
gave the site, and with the aid Of 30
adherents is having built the first Uni
tartan church in Union county, New
Jersey, near her home, in Elizabeth.
Every fourth Sunday she will occupy
the pulpit.
About go years ago Rev. Mrs. Black
well preached her first sermon at Hen
rietta. N. Y. She was one Of the first
women IN the United States to receive
college degree. In 1853 she was or
dained Congregational minister at
South Butler, N. Y, accepting the pas
torate Of a church there. She Is q
noted woman suffragist.

Flax In tho Northwest.

The second factor making for the
new prosperity may be termed ''the dis
covery Of fax" For years there had
been few scattering fax fields, but
1t was only in the middle COS that the
Northwestern pioneer awOke to the dis
covery that linseed oil was of more
truly golden hue, not only than the
wheat field, but than any gold-bear-
ing quartz California ever saw. And
so the endless golden yellow of the
fields in August and the tinkling bells
in September or the fax field.
Those who have never heard the
ringing Of the fax bells have missed a
truly wonderful sensation. The round
seed pods, smaller than peas, which
contain the seed, give faint metallic
sound which as one drives or walks
through field, setting thousands in
motion, seems like mvriads of inf1ntesi-
NAL bells tinkling so family as to be
all but inaudible. Nor Is the mere
sight Of fax field in the mellow Au-
gust soon to be forgotten. Imagine a
100-acre field, filed with flowers Of a
blue more delicate than vlolets. And
Of Its profitable character one illustra-
tion will suffice. In June, 1900, Ole
Jannsen bought 100 acres in the heart
of the great fax belt for $40 an acre
on the crop payment plan. Ole "broke
up" that fall and the next spring 135
acres and planted 1t In fax. In round
numbers, he thrashed in the fall eigh-
teen and one-half bushels to the acre !;
sold 1t for S1.39h bushel. total,
$500; little more than twice enough
to pay for his land out Of his first crop.
Not only was the fax immensely prof.
table itself, but 1t removed from the
country the stigma, "one-crop country"

The Department of Agriculture has
undertaken a series of experiments in
tended to answer, If possible, the old
question, "How long can seeds remain
buried In the soil and still retain their
power Of termination"
Many extraordinary stories have
been told Of the prolongation Of the vi
tallty of seeds during many years, and
even centuries, but very few actual ex-
periments have hitherto been made.
DR.. Beal has reported that he has
found seeds that responded to germina-
ton tests after having been buried
twenty years, The seeds buried by the
experts Of the Agricultural Department
at the Arlington farm last year were
packed with dry clay in porous clay
pots, covered with saucers and placed
at various depths from inches to
.3A feet. There are 32 complete sets
in 1854 pots, representing 100 spe
cies, "a genera and "a families. Tests
are to be made at the end of one, two
three, five, seven, ten, fifteen, twenty
twenty-five, thirty, forty and fifty
years.

placed in a gable shaped pile about
feet wide and as long as convenient. A
thin layer Of straw should then be
laid over the pile and this covered with
six or eight inches of earth. Another
and thicker layer of straw and final
layer of earth will complete the work.
Ventilators should be placed at inter-

be closed when sweating has ceased.

Good Sheep Barn a Poor One.

GOOD Sheep Barn q Poor One.
A good sheep barn Is poor one.
This may seem to be absurd, but the
facts support such a statement There
is no question but that many fiocks 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 flocks 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.
1t Is well to have this building
equipped with large ventilating win

equipped with sash that may be
closed In severe weather.
Many farms where sheep are kept
are equipped with barn cellar in
which the flock has been 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. II short straw or saw
dust Is used 1t gets into the fleece and

A Little RetOuching.

The wonders of photography are
ever on the increase. Nevertheless,
there are still some limitations to the
power and skill Of even the most ex-
pert photographer.
Mr.. Hall is an amateur Of no mean
attainments, and when his old Aunt
Hannah from Bushby came down to
the city he secured picture of her In
her most characteristic pose-arms
akimbo and mouth slightly open.
When Aunt Hannah saw the first
print, she looked at it, held 1t off,
drew 1t close again, and then sat down
to write her nephew.
Dear James," wrote the old lady,
yours with photograph taken during
my late visit just received. In reply
! would say, I'm well enough pleased
with 1t for myself and your folks. But
In the one you send out to California

out my elbows and let my arms hang.
Affectionately, Aunt Hannah.

my mouth mite more, as Emma's

Profitable Cattle Feeding.

The Missouri Experiment Station at
Columbia has issued very elaborate
and handsomely Illustrated bulletin on
the most successful methods Of fatten-
Ing cattle, by Dean H. ]. Waters.
This bulletin summarizes the expe-
rlence and conclusions of about 1000
Of the most experienced and successful
cattle feeders Of Missouri, Illinois and
Iowa, and contains also summary OF
the results Of 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 beet
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, Sedalla, the American Royal
Kansas City, and the Internationa
Live Stock Exposition, Chicago. These
steers won nine championship prizes
seventeen first prizes, sixteen secont
prizes, seven third prizes and two
fourth prizes. Every steer won a
every show excepting one steer in on,
