DEFENDANT OF PENN's FRIEND.

Ancestor of Philadelphia Clergy
man Was an Adviser of Founder.
Almost within n stones throw of the
plot of ground where William Penn
made his treaty with the Indians, and
in church whose membership consists
mainly of descendants of old colonial
settlers, historical sermon was
preached Sunday night on the life of
William Penn by clergyman who
boasts of being the grand
son of one of the Pennsylvania found
er's dearest friends and counSelOrs,
says the Philadelphia North American.
The church is the Emmanuel Episcopal
at Girard avenue and Marlborough
street, and the minister the Rev. Ed
ward Giles Knight.
According to the clergyman, there
has always been a Giles Knight. About
fifty years ago, because one generation
forgot to name any of the boys Giles.
one of the family had his first name
| changed by special act of legislature
Giles knight. the first, came to this
country with William Penn in the good
ship Welcome in 1862, and when the
compact with the Indians was made
was. an earnest adviser of his chef
Like William Penn, Giles Knight had
quarreled with his father, then mayor
of Bristol. England, over religious mat
tiers, and he sought refuge in this land
that he might worship his Creator in
his own way, and when and how he
pleased.
IL his sermon DR.. knight did not
touch upon his relationship with the
colonist, but devoted his talk to par
| ticulars of PENIS early life.
Another member of Emmanuel
church proud of his ancestry is John
p. Eyre. one of the vestrymen, whose
great grandfather at one time owned
the very spot Of ground on which Will
| lam Penn first landed.

The Sensitive Woman.

Woman's whole character is formed
by the endurance of necessary evils.
says a clever woman writer in Black
and White. The little girls wishes and
predictions are set aside from earliest
youth in favor of her brothers. It is
he who decides the games. who makes
her field. or bowl. or run; who. if they
play horses. drives the team: who has
most money, most presents. most au-
dacity and most liberty. When they
grow older it is he who has the best
masters. the finest education, for whom
all is done. on whom the family pride
and triumph center. and who scolds his
sister for a milksOp if she cries when
he pinches her. The mother sets aside
her happiness for her children; it is
she who wheedles the paterfamilias out
Of the necessary money for boots and
socks. hats and ribbons, who dresses
the girls at the cost of her own toilette,
and saves up her pin money to Increase
the sailor boys allowance. If she is
sensitive she conceals the fact, imposes
violence on her nerves and bears as
best she can the noise and uproar that
must never disturb father.
The uneducated woman has often the
quickest perception, the finest tact, the
most vivid sensibility: she will feel
without speaking, she understands your
inmost thoughts. she is en- rapport with
you spiritually. she knows without
being told. The supremely human
woman, she who Is most alive. most
herself, is also the most sensitive. Who
does not know at least one sweet soul
to whom everybody turns when in diff

products of unimproved Western prai-
ries great herds of cattle and sheen
were produced on the free ranges or on
land that could be purchased at govern
ment prices. Eastern farmers could
not compete with the Western ranch
men or wheat growers on Cheap, fertile
lands and the products of the West
soon dominated the markets of the
East. This meant to the Eastern farm
err not only the elimination of animal
husbandry. but also the deterioration
of the fertility of the Eastern farms
Following Il system of cultivated croDs
the land declined in productivity until
production. and the sons of Eastern
farmers sought employment and homes
in the induStrialiSm of cities.
Experiments are being made of recla-
nation of the abandoned and CheaD
farms of the East with artificial fer
tiliZers. The humus. nitrogen. potash
and phosphoric acid of the soil need
to be restored to give the soil its virgin
vigor. While commercial fertilizers
accomplish much in the restoration of
worn out land. animal husbandry ap-
pears to be necessary for the reclama-
ton of impoverished farms. The drop
pings of animals and operations of
legumes are the more rational regime
for exhausted land fertility and to
maintain the productivity of naturally
fertile soii-Goodall's Farmer.

One often sees an extended list of
cheap or abandoned farms offered at
bargain prices. In most instances the
property can be purchased at less than
one-half of what the improvements
cost The land has become so unpro-
ductive as to be Improbable for cult
walton. Yet the farms once produced
fair crops and supported their owners
in contentment and comfort. The men
who carved these homes out Of the
primeval forests were fairly prosperous
and many of them accumulated liberal
completeness.
The original owners were indus
trious, frugal and prudent in managing
their holdings and each year witnessed
an increase to their wealth. They
practiced mixed husbandry and always
made fertilizers of their forage and the
bulk of their grain. They kept rea-
sonable amount of stock and graZed
their animals on pastures seeded with
clover and other nutritious grasses.
The droppings of their focks and herds
fed the soil with fertility and the land
became more productive annually.
When rotation Of pasture fields to Gull
tivated crops occurred the farmer was
assured Of liberal reward.

This question was asked Washing

ka delegation TO the sixth international
tuberculosis congress. The doctor is
native of Prussia, but has been prac-
ticing medicine iii this country ever
since he was young man.

'Angora goats are not good mixers.

Why cannot the same rule apply TO
Angoras? | believe it can. and, togeth
Ell with one or two friends. am looking
carefully into the matter. In every
herd of Angoras a few good mixers
will be found. Then. why cannot some
one anxious to make money go to Tex

goat dairy farm?
Some folks laugh at the idea of
goat milk taking the place of that of
COWS. But here is a fact that should
he borne in mind tuberculosis among
goats is practically unheard Of while
it is common among COWS. This is the
first strong argument in favor Of the
goat, from a hygienic standpoint. An
other point in favor of the goat is that
persons who have used goat milk in
their coffee have testified that it lends
flavor not supplied by cream from
cows milk.
Goat meat is splendid for human
food. 1t was used away back in Bible
times. and many references to it will
be found in the Old Testament. 1t has
been used more or less ever since An

In European countries goat dairy
farms are common and profitable. Some
of the imported goats have not done
well in this country, but Angoras are

are equal to one COW as mixers.

Best Way to Fight the wecyiI.

One thousand cotton planters from
Central Louisiana met at Baton Rouge
to devise means for fighting the boil
weevil. Government experts and boil
weevil experts addressed the confer
ence. DR.. w. d. Hunter of Dallas.
who has conducted the government
fight in Texas, delivered the leading ad-
dress. The main points in the system
of control were stated by Dr. Hunter
as follows:
l. Destroy weevils in the fall
,. Destroy weevils that may have
escaped burning and be found along
hedge growths, fences, etc.
3. Prepare land early and thor
oughly.
t. Provide wind rows and plenty of
space between the rows for the as
sistance of the natural enemies of the
weevil.
}. Insure an early crop by plant
ing early maturing varieties.
g. Chop early and give frequent cul-
tivation in pursuance of the policy of
making the crop.
1. Where labor is sufficient, pick the
first appearing weevils and infested
squares but do not burn the squares,
8. Use a cross-bar of iron or wood
on cultivators.
o. Do not poison for the leaf worm
unless its work begins at an abnormal
ly early date.-Baton Rouge Letter.
