WOMAN, 68, BRIDE
FOR TENTH Time
MRS. POLLY WEED BAKER ADDS
sHiPPERT TO LONG STRING
OF NAMES.
STILL AGILE, DESPITE YEARS
Marrying Game Has Had Many Turns
and Seven Husbands Are Under
Sod-can't Recall Names
Of Mates.

Evansville, Ind.-Mrs. Polly Weed
Baker of Newburg, aged 6S years, is
happy with her ninth husband. Her
tenth marriage ceremony was per
formed the other day when she wed
ded Simon Shippert, aged go years, a
real estate and insurance man of Bur
lington, la. The reason for the dis
parity between husbands and mar
riages is that she married one man
twice.
Mrs. Shippert, despite her years, lie
agile as a girl and she does not look
like a woman who has seven husbands
in the grave, one divorced and one yet
alive She owns considerable property
in Newburg. She has refused to have
work and her work preceding the cere-
mony was to milk her COW, feed her
chickens and then adorn herself in q
plain white dress she had made with
her own needle. Asked why she did
not use one Of her previous wedding
gowns she said she feared bad luck.
The ninth husband is man of good
appearance and is the owner of real
estate in Burlington. He has no chill.
dren, but has been married before
and lost his wife by death. The bride
has no children, either, to show for
her eight previous husbands. A re.
porter who searched the rooms for
pictures could find none. Mrs. Ship
pert said she had never had a picture
taken and that she destroyed all OF
the photos of her past husbands
Mrs. Shippert has had an interesting
career Five times she has been di.

Pruning Trees and Shrubs.-Prun-
ing of shrubs and trees is thinning
out process which is invigorating un-
less carried to an extreme. 1t allows
the remainder of the plant to receive
the nourishment which is saved by
cutting unsightly or unsymmetrical
branches. A stronger growth is made
possible in the rest of the plant. To
get the best results pruning should be
done annually, thus removing all su-
perfiuous wood and better preserving
the health and shape of the plant.
All woody plants should be pruned
when transplanted. The roots are
necessarily reduced and active growth
retarded by the transplanting process,
so the top of the plant should be re-
duced correspondingly to lessen the
amount of evaporation. In most cases
the top should be cut back at least
one-half, while in fruit trees all side
branches are removed entirely, leav-
ing nothing but the stem. This leaves
the tree to form new branches in ac-
cordance with It's new surroundings.
in trees three or four years old sew
eral of the main branches are left,
but they are cut back one-half, SO as
to form a new top.

Dipping plants vary greatly in size
and style according TO the conditions
they have to satisfy; however, we pre-
sent herewith illustrations embodying
ideas now commonly found in the
most approved plants. The farmer
who has but a small number of sheep
to dip can use a portable vat for dip
ping, turning part of the shed into
a catching pen and holding the sheep
after dipping for a moment at the top
of the incline to allow draining, thus
doing away with the necessity of a
draining pen, says the Homestead.
The dip in the tank may be kept
warm by dipping out as it cools and
replenishing with hot dip from a large
kettle or caldron. Where a large
flock is to be dipped it is economical
in the long run to build a permanent
plant Such a plant consists of col
lecting pens and draining yards. Heat
ing tanks and boilers will have to be
provided and for this purpose some
use boilers made especially for the
purpose, others obtain portable en-
gines. A thermometer is very essen
tial, as the dip is most effective when
1t is warm as the sheep can stand ii.
The floating dairy thermometer is very
satisfactory and several should be
bought at the same time so that brok-
en- ones can be replaced. Dipping
crutches or forks are also necessary

ExperlmentIna wIth Wake In CANADA

Experimenting with Yaks In Canada
A small herd of yaks has been pre-
sented by the duke of Bedford to the
Canadian government and will be
placed on the central experiment farm
under the charge of the department of
agriculture. There are six individuals
in the herd, and IL is sought to ascer-
tain their suitability for domestication
in the northern parts Of the Dominion.
They constitute the most important
form of animal life to be found In
Tibet. being used for all purposes ex-
cept tillage and draught, and conceiv.

OF the far northwest where conditions
correspond in measure to those Of

Ground Plan Of Dipping Plant.

in order to guide the sheep through
the tank and help others which may
be overcome. Two types of these
forks are illustrated. The handles
should be long and as strong as an
ordinary fork handle.
Modern Sheep" has this to say on
the subject of dipping: The sheep
breeder that expects to run his flock
successfully without the somewhat
boresome work of dipping is doomed
to failure. 1t is profitable to dip once
a year, and in most cases twice; even
II there is no sign of vermin in the
flock 1t should be dipped as a matter

Gardens with Schools.

The school-garden idea has been re-
markably developed in San Antonio,
Tex, which is said to have more
gardens attached to its schools than
any other place OF its size in the
world. There are 949 of these culti-
waited plots attached to the 29 schools.
the gardens varying from one-tenth to
one-quarter of an acre.

of prevention. Remember that pre-
vention is better than cure, in this
case as well as in any other. The loss
of mutton and wool through the in
roads of vermin and parasites, such as
ticks, lice, scab, etc, IL may safely be
said, is a hundredfold greater than
the cost of dipping. Just as long as
sheep breeders look upon dipping as
an unnecessary trouble. just so long
will our flocks be infested with such
troubles as are mentioned above. AL
though our laws are somewhat strin-
gent on the dipping question, the dis
appearance of parasitic troubles from
our flock is not yet in sight. If every
sheepman in the United States would
dip his sheep thoroughly at proper in
tervals in some good proprietary dip
we should be soon free from such ter
rible scourges as scab, ticks, etc. Aus
tralia, whose flocks are the largest in
the world and which at one time were
so badly affected with scab, Is now a
scabless country, and with the same
persistent effort shown by our Aus
tralian friends our country could like
wise be a scabless country, for If it
can be reduced with care, with a lit
tie extra care it can be eradicated; /;
this has been proven beyond all doubt
Directly after shearing IL is a good
plan to dip the lambs, as at this time
ticks leave the newly-shorn ewes and

Many a Day Is Spoiled

BY cough which cannot be broken by
ordinary remedies. But why not try a
medicine that will cure any cough that
any medicine can cure? That is Kemp's
Balsam. 1t is recommended by doctors
and nurses, and it costs only Is cents at
any druggists or dealers. Keep a bottle
always in the house and you will always
be prepared to treat cold or cough be-
fore it causes any suffering at all.

make their home on them. While no
doubt a great deal of good has been
accomplished by the enforcement by
the department of agriculture of the
use Of lime and sulphur as a dip,
there is no doubt at all but what a
great deal more good could be accom-
plished by the use of first-class propri-
etary dips in lieu of the lime and sui
phur concoction. About six weeks or
two months after shearing the whole
flock, both ewes and lambs should be
dipped, as such a course will insure
immunity from, scab and other para
sitic troubles for a considerable time.

WACO B'NAI BIRTH DAY.

Eureka Lodge No. 1876, l. o. b. b. of
this place, in accordance with the de-
cree of the Grand Lodge of district
No. Z, celebrated the B'nai Birth Day
in a very appropriate and splendid
manner on the evening set apart for
that purpose.
Rabbi Warsaw as chairman, did HIM
self great credit, in a few eXtempo
remarks at the opening of the eXer-
cises, setting forth in strong terms,
and unmistakable language, the OBJ
jects of the meeting and many benef-
cial results derived therefrom. Music,
song and general good feeling prevail
ed throughout the evening. One of
the main objects Of the celebration
was the remembrance in substantial
manner of the widows and orphans.
which was manifestly accomplished by
liberal donations, thus a goodly sum
was collected for that laudable pur-
pose. After all the material intentions
were consumated, the young people
enjoyed themselves by the fantastic
dance and all drank from the cup of
pleasure to its very dregs.
