Paris, April 24.-Colonel Roosevelt Is
own word Saturday marked the crown
ing Of his career as a man of letters.
He participated as a member at ses-
sion Of the French academy, delivered
a lecture at the Sorbonna, which, as
he said, was the foremost seat Of learn
ing in Europe before America was
discovered, and remaining as the guest
of the faculty for dinner and the grand
reception given by the university in his
honor.
Colonel Roosevelt's reception at the
institute and that at the Sorbonne
were equally impressive, but in a diff
ferent way. At the former he was in
trodueed merely as member and he
took a seat among the distinguished
cOnfreres, most Of whom have grown
old in the service Of science.
According TO the traditional custom
of the Academy Of Moral and Political
Sciences, Mr.. Roosevelt entered with
out formal presentation.

A Useful Pen.

Little chicks come as many cock
erels as pullets. Few ROSTERS are fit
to save, and all the rest are good only
to eat, so take them from hens, put
them in pens, and turn them into
dough by turning dough into them.
An old packing box makes a fine pen.
Get one without lid about three or
four feet square for six or eight roos-
tiers. Knock off one side, and here
an inch and half apart nail laths
from one end of the box to the 9TH

Droppings fall through to the ground
after four legs are nailed to the box,
one at each corner. Now nail laths
three inches apart across the front,
only leaving enough space for a small
door, SO as to reach the hand and
arm in and pull them out. A good
trough or pan should be fastened
outside the coop near enough for the
roosters to poke their heads through

Needless Harness.

Horses are placing mankind daily
under everlasting obligations to them,
says Secretary Pershing, of the South
Bend (Ind.) Humane Society, but
how cruelty and thoughtlessly are
they repaid by those who are most
indebted to them. A horse is a noble
animal; patient, kind-hearted, self
sacrificing, willing to work till he
dies in his tracks, accomplishing, a
lover Of kind treatment, and who is
willing to work a whole lifetime with
no other compensation than his bed
and board.
OF the many things which make
the daily life of horse miserable,
two are binders and the tight check
rein, the worst parts of horses har-
ness. Very many people believe that
they are part and parcel of horse
and that he would not be horse
without them.
The majority of horses could read
lily dispense with binders, and all
could if they had never been invented.
Binders were first used by noble
man in England to hide a defect on
his horses head, and later were found
excellent locations for the displaying
OF his coat-of-arms.
A horses head was never intended
for binders, for his eyes are so set
in his head that he can see behind
him without turning his head and, of
course, the binders deprive him Of
seeing the very things he should see
for his own safety as well as his
drivers. A horses eye is a beautiful
object, and it is shame to cover it.
Whenever see a man driving a
horse without binders always feel
like stopping him and shaking hands
with him. A horses head is the best
part of him and should have on it as
little harness as possible.
Another instrument of torture to
horse is the tight check-rein. 1t is
responsible for poll evil, assesses,
sprung knees. paralysis and disorders
of the brain and muscles. 1t spoils
his appearance and detracts from his
free and graceful movements. Horse

TRANSFORMING the Red Cedar

The red cedar Of our woods ana
meadows forms a much prettier free
under cultivation than it does in its
wild state. Sharing the fate Of All
trees under like conditions, It il much
more esteemed in Europe than n Is
here, nurserymen there growing II
as one Of the chief kinds in their
grounds. So much attention has
been accorded it that numerous yarie-
ties of it have been discovered and
propagated, some of such upright
character as to resemble an irish iu-
niper, others with steel blue foliage.
AS many as a half dozen distinct va
rieties are known, and, funnier than
all is the fact that our rich folks are
buying these sorts to decorate their
grounds. To many persons the at
tempt to transplant these trees from
their wild homes to their gardens
meets with i'll success. Of course.
wild plants have but few roots. be-
cause of never having been trans
planted, which calls for great care in
their removal. No evergreen, trans
planted or not, will suffer its roots to
become dry without injury It should
be the first consideration when lift
ing them from the ground to see that
the roots are kept damp until they
are again in the ground Trees OF
about two or three feet are the safest
to transplant Get all the roots posi-
bic, keep them damp, and plant again
as soon as possible. LIE the soil that
is thrown in over the roots be as fine
and dry as possible, so that it will
work its way around the roots nicely,
then when the hole is half filed up,
pour in water, two or three bucket
fuls, filling in the remainder of the
soil lightly after the water has all
soaked away. 1t is a help towards
success to prune the branches well,
but no evergreen should have it's
branches cut back below its green
foliage, for they will not break fresh
shoots from bare wood as deciduous
trees and shrubs will. In the colder
States transplanting Of all evergreens
is best done in spring, but our South
ern friends could do the work at any
time when there is no freezing of the
soil; and they could not find prettier
wild evergreens than the red cedar.

New l.laht on War.

Lem Jackson loved to loaf. He
lived in the mountains not far from
Greenville, Tenn, with his wife and
q large brood Of children. Lem had
"houn' dawg" that he set great
store by, and he spent most OF his
time lounging in a runway waiting
to shoot deer driven in by old
Bose or sprawling on the bank Of al
stream fishing. In that way he was
good provider after a fashion; but
not all the urging, scolding, nagging
and demonstrating OF his shrewish
wife could drive him to work.
Lem led the lazy life Of a Rip
Van Wrinkle until the outbreak of
the Civil War, and then he surpris.
ed everybody by joining the Confed-
crate army, for most of the noun
taineers fought for the Union. At
the end Of six months Lem was shot
through the right thagh, and it was
long before he was able to limp out
Of hospital and back to his regiment.
In the second year he was shot In
the left shoulder, and when he re-
turned to duty his left hand was
bent far back by shortened ten
don; but he was still able to raise
his rife. Early in the fourth year
they got him again-a musket bali
through the body-but he was back
in the ranks long before the fighting
was ended. Every one wondered at
LENS persistence in sticking to the
terrible trade Of war.
DR.. Girdner met Lem hobbling
down the street in Greenville one
morning in June, IS, still pale and
weak from his latest wound, his
right leg short and wobbly, his left
hand sti9fy bent back.
'Glad to see you alive, Lem" said
the doctor. Il suppose you're glad
to be home agaii?"
WAL" Lem admitted, without en-
thusiasm. II s'pose had to git err
long home. Gin'r'l Lee he surrend-
cred US down to Appomattox an we
all had to go home"
"But aren't you glad to be away
from the dangers Of war;"
"Why, doc, war hain't SO bad"
cried honest Lem. war hain't SO
bad. There's lots O. days when you
don't have nothin' to do."-Harper's

Hints For Mixers.

Remember that you are dealing
with living machine, and that there
fore kind and quiet treatment will
produce more milk with less trouble
than harsh methods.
The machine can only work at its
best when properly handled. Every
drop of milk should be drawn, for
only by this means will the udder be
induced to work at full pressure, and
give supply of the richest milk. 1t
should also be borne in mind that the
last milk is the richest.
Observe cleanliness in all things.
Make sure that the milking utensils
are above reproach. Cleanse the
cows udder and your own hands be-
lore commencing to milk.
Draw the milk by pressure, not by
the stripping method. Carry out the
operation, as quickly as possible, re-
membering that generally a good
mixer is fast one and that the COW
is liable to become impatient after a
time.
Pay attention to the cows health.
II her teats are sore, if there is any
discoloration or unusual feature
about the milk, do not mix it with the
rest.
Take care that the buildings in
which milking is carried on are well
aired and free from avoidable dust.
Fresh air and sunlight should be con-
stantly admitted, and litter or food
should not be handled during the
milking hour.
BE punctual. The COW knows as
well as you when the hour has arrived
Tor milking, and delay will not only
cause diminution of her yield, but
also a decrease of fat percentage.
Mix at as nearly even intervals of

The Farm Milk House.

In recent article in Hoard's Dairy
man Professor Harrington, the we'll
known writer on dairy topics, gives the
following good suggestions on farm
milk houses. He says that the laws
of the State of Wisconsin at the pres
ent time do not permit the keeping
of hand separator in the cow stable.
1t must be placed in separate build
Ing or in room partitioned off from
the COW stable.
Plans for building small milk
houses have been given in dairy pa
pers and the catalog CUES of dairy sup
ply firms.
At farms where hand separator
is used and the cream sold, small
milk house will answer every pur-
pose. One large enough to give
space for the separator and water
tank, through which the water is
pumped directly from the we'll and
then to the stock tank, is all that is
needed.
The question has arisen as to the
advisability Of placing gasolene en-
CINE, when this is used as a farm
power, in this milk house. There is
little danger of communicating the
cream from the odor of the engine,
if this is we'll taken care of and the
exhaust from the engine is tightly
connected to pipe which leads out
side the building.
The cooling of the cream as it
comes from the separator is absolute
ly necessary. 1t should be brought
to near fifty degrees as soon as posi-
BILE after separating, then placed in
cans and these allowed to stand in
a tank of cold water until the cream
is collected by cream haulers,
If the milk house contains in addi-
ton to these pieces of apparatus,
some sort of boiler, for furnishing
hot water and wash sink, these can
be included in the same building, but
it is advisable to place the boiler in a
separate room.
1t is important that the milk house
be built with a cement floor and
cemented corners from the floor up
the walls for at least one foot This
gives a sanitary surface which can
be flushed with water and kept clean,
provided the floor pitches well to the
gutter and a good drain with a trap
in carries off all surplus water
spilled on the floor.
After the essential points of a good
milk house are well understood, each
farmer or dairyman can determine
for himself how large a building he
wants and locate it in dry, clean
place where it will not be contamin-
ated by the drainage or the odors
from the COW stable, pig pens or any
refuse material.

The Cows and Alfalfa.

1t is the experience of dairymen
that alfalfa is far superior to timothy
hay for COWS, and that they may be-
fed all the alfalfa hay they will con-
sumo, and that a mixture consisting
of 400 pounds Of ground corn; 800
pounds of bran or oats supplements
the alfalfa very we'll. Seven or eight
pounds Of this combination is suffi-
cient to produce one pound Of fat
when fed with all the good alfalfa
hay an animal will consume. If the
droppings of the animal seem some
what dry do not hesitate to recon-
mend the use of one pound of oilmeal
per day.-Indiana Farmer.

and has his correspondence cleared

The remarkable and agonizing fact
about Senator Moneys style of neu-
ralgia is that 1t has been visiting him
regularly at the same hour every
day for fourteen years. All sorts Of
prescriptions have been tried in vain
to ward off the attacks, and all sorts
Of drugs and rubs and shocks have
been resorted to for relief from the
pain while it lasts. In spite of all
the remedies and treatments Mr.. Neu-
ralgia hobs up serenely every morn

and then departs as suddenly as he
arrives.
Finding that close attention to
work caused him to forget the pain,
the Senator got into the habit of
plunging into his correspondence as
soon as the neuralgia was felt.

WISE poa sAvEs HIs MATE.|

Thomas Jones, who owns big
ranch on San Juan Island, lost a
collie dog last fall for nearly a
month, and for several days search
ed the woods about his place zeai-
ously for the animal without success.
One day he tossed bone to another
collie. Instead of gnawing It, he
picked it up and started for the.
woods. He kept turning his head,
apparently to see if he was followed,
and Jones concluded to follow him.
The dog trotted along for about a
mile, and stopped at the edge Of an
abandoned well. He dropped the
bone over the edge of the well.
Jones got a ladder, climbed down,
and found the, dog that had been
lost There were only about two
inches of water in the well, but the
animal would have starved to death
had 1t not been for the other. The
lost dog was in good condition; and
as It had been missing twenty-four
days, the other animal must have
kept 1t supplied with food for nearly
a month. London Telegraph.
