One C~entenarian.

Mrs. Elizabeth Jarrom, one hun
,dred years old, the mother of eleven
children, is spending the end Of her
days in Leicester Workhouse. Born
March 81, 1910, she looks no older
than seventy-five; however, her birth
record has been carefully looked into,
showing her to be a centenarian.
Though slightly lame, she is hale
and hearty for her age, and fine days
gets about with a stick airing in the
workhouse grounds. She smokes
constantly, and with clear memory
talks Interestingly of times and things
long gone by. Married at the age OF
eighteen, she has six living children.
Her oldest living son is seventy-two,
and has an age pension. Her young
est living child is siXty-two. Although
this old lady has more than a hun
dred living great-grandchildren she
has spent the last twelve years in a
workhouse, a pitiful object of charity.

ties of all kind. Why not n for

Lady Teazle was discovered" she
wasn't there! The lady is supposed
to stay where she is hidden by Sur

out into the dressing room, powder
her nose and run back in time for
the exposure. Of course the perform

Cement Roofing.

"A subscriber wishes to know II he
can cover his house with cement.
Cement tiles, or shingles are manu-
'factured, we understand, but we have
not seen them and do not know any
thing about them, but have no hest
tation in saying that we believe that
cement or concrete roofing in some
shape, will be in general use not many
years hence. 1t will be the cheapest
and most durable material for the
purpose that can be obtained, and at
the same time will be indestructible
by fire. Inventors will put their wits
to work to devise shingles, or small
fiat tiles or plates, to put on roofs
like shingles or slate, and devices for
fastening them securely. If we were
to undertake the job we think We
would try to invent some way of plas-
tering the cement upon the sheathing
and making a solid cement over
the entire roof. How would it do to
devise a steel or iron net work, with
mesh of an inch or so, to nail over the
sheathing, to hold the cement while
it hardens? The cement could be
spread over this net work with a
trowel. like mortar upon a wall, and
when it becomes hard it would make
a solid coating that would be imper-
vious to water and will last an age,
No charge for this suggestion.-1n-

A Geological Puzzle.

italian biologists have a puzzle to
solve owing to the discovery on
Mount Blanc of the body Of a white
bear, which has been taken to Aosta.
It was thought at first that the bear
must have died some 800 years ago
and must have been preserved by the
ice, since it has always been held
that white bears vanished from the
Alps three centuries ago. But it has
since been demonstrated that death
could only have taken place a few
days previous to discovery. AS this
would seem to show that there are
still white bears in the Alps, expedi-
lions are to be sent to test the theory.

How to Preserve Flowers.

When you receive a bouquet
sprinkle it lightly with fresh water:
then put it into a vessel containing
some s~oapsuds, which nourish the
roots and keep the flowers as bright
as new. Take the bouquet out of the
suds every morning and lay it side
wise in fresh water, the stock enter.
ing first into the water, keeping II
there for a minute or two, then take
it out and sprinkle the flowers lightly
with the hand with pure water. Re.
place the bouquet in the soapsuds
and the flowers will bloom as fresh
as when first gathered. The soap.
suds need to be changed every third
day. BY observing these rules a bou'
quet can be kept bright and beautiful
for at least one month, and will last
still longer in a very passable state.
but attention to the fair and frail
features as directed above must be
closely followed.-Miss Eva A. Ca

Selling Dead Eggs.

After egg have been Matching for
a week or ten days clear and added
eggs may be taken from a Matching
machine or from under a setting hen.
We hear of some selling Of such
dead eggs. A dead egg, after a week
under a hen or in a Matching ma
chine, tests even then about like a
fresh egg, and is recommended by
some authority for pastry making,
but we believe feeding such to new
ly Matched chicks is stretching
enough. The best way is to set, say,
five hens, all at the same time. After
a week or ten days test and take the
dead eggs from hens. Live eggs may
then be about the right number for
four of the hens. Entirely fresh eggs
are now put under the fifth hen; of
y course she has to set a week or ten
days longer than the other hens, but
this means that many more chicks.
Dead eggs are liable to give out a
bad gas which live eggs more or less
take up, and this does eggs with
chicks in shell no good. But bad eggs
in a Matching machine do more harm
than under the hen. In a Matching
machine a dead egg against live eggs
is bad, for the dead egg is cooler than
the live ones and may affect them.
The hen shuf1es about and keeps her
eggs somewhat apart with the feath-
ers and down, so the bad egg is less
liable here to affect good ones.-New
York Press.

Pruning Shade Trees.

Shade trees should be trimmed up
when young so the top will be at
least twelve feet above the walk.
After this all that is necessary is to
cut out the dead superfluous branches.
The amount and kind OF pruning will
depend a great deal upon the species;
of trees planted. When planting it is
we'll to consider how much space you
have for a tree and how much light
you must have and select the kind CT
tree that will best fit your case. 1t
is argued that trees should DC topped
to prevent the limbs from breaking
off, and to make them grow thicker.
When large limbs are cut off decay
soon sets in, and the tree dies. Spare

bee. For information on pruning
shade trees, write the State Forester.

However sown it should be done early
in spring, for white pine SEEDS are
always slow in terminating. When
sown in beds the seedlings are trans
planted when two or three years DID.
Even at three years they are not very

but a few inches of growth, and even
at three years they would be but
eight or ten inches high. After once
we'll established, a growth OF a foot

Agriculture is experimenting largely
with many kinds of seeds for forestry,
the white pine, jack pine and western
bull pine being used with others, and
the tulip poplar (Liriodendron), is
in much demand. Those unac-
quainted with the raising of seedlings
should go slow at first until some
practical knowledge is gained, as
some varieties require particular care
to insure termination Of their seeds.

The S%outhdoWn.

The %Southdown sheep has steadily
| grown in popular favor.
There has been no boom in the
Southdown trade, says an exchange,
but there has been a steady, healthy
demand, which is now increasing
rapidly, as the intrinsic merits of the
breed are better known.
Many men in all parts of the coun-
try not heretofore known as having
any interest in Southdowns, are in
curing where these sheep can be had.
Having learned from practical men
that they possess superior qualities
as wool bearers as we'll al mutton
producers, that they are naturally
strong and hardy, and that they i'm
press these qualities on other breeds
with which they are crossed in a re-
markable degree, progressive breed
ers want them for improving the NUT
ton and w~ool-bearing qualities Of
their herds.
The Southdown breeders report
that they are wholly unable to meet
the demand. The demand is largely
from the Southern and Southwestern
! regions where the Southdowns are
best known, and this demand upon
the focks of the East, the Northeast
and the Middle West, which has al
ready depleted the supply, may be
expected to steadily increase.
But because we so frequently ind
the Southdown mentioned as the
standard of excellence in judging
other breeds, both for the production
of mutton and wool, and for prepo-
tency in crossing upon other breeds,
it by no means follows that the
breeders should fail to patronize the
advertising columns of the live stock
press in promoting the interests OF
the breed. From a financial point Of
view the publishers of live stock pa
pers deserve better Of Southdown
breeders than they have received. II
all breeders of Southdowns will adj
vertise, and if the few who do adj
| vertise will double their advertising
| efforts, they will increase their profits
and may safely increase their focks
to twice the present size. There need
be no fear of. overstocking, for when
the nearby regions are supplied the
great West will gladly take any pos
| sible surplus in carload lots.-lnland

tiers Are Not Opened.
Now and then you meet a woman
who nurses a deep distrust OF the

in the postal service, from the letter
carrier up, is simply dying to know
what's in the letter she has posted.
"You can't tell me that letters arc

woman. give had too many come to
me half sealed or with torn envelopes.
Eut I have found a way to fix an
envelope so that if it is opened it can't
possibly be resealed without evidence
that it has been tempered with. It's
easy enough to roll a lead pencil
under an envelope flap and to pry,
it open, and it's no trick at all to
steam open a letter. But I always
know whether any OF the letters I
get have been opened, for all my cor
respondents have adopted my system.
When they fasten down the flap OF
an envelope they draw at each side
three short parallel lines across the
flap to the lower part of the envelope.
No one can open an envelope so
marked and gum down the flap so
exactly that the lines will fit. So I
always know."-New York Sun.

Effect of Soy Beans on Butter.

At the Massachusetts experiment
station they have carried out a num-

dairy COWS. They found that: Soy
bean meal will not modify the chemi-

did it have any effect upon the sepa-

the thoroughness Of the churning.
Expert butter scorers could not de-
tect any particular flavor in the but
ter as a result of feeding the meal.
The meal impaired a noticeable soft
ness to the body Of the butter. but not
sufficiently so as to iniure' its COM

About Draft Horses.

Ever since l have been connected
with the business I have strongly ad-
vocated two policies that I believe
would be of great value to horse
breeding interests in America.
First, and most important the
United States Government should re-
quire a certificate of absolute sound
ness of all stations and mares, issued
by a competent and reliable veterin-
arian before leaving Europe; and a
careful inspection by another equally
competent veterinarian on arrival at
port of entry into the United States,
and bar all from landing that did not
pass sound. This second inspection
Is essential because it is possible for
experts on the other side to so doctor
a horse as to conceal for a while GER
tain hereditary defects, but which
will develop again during the voyage.
I have known cases of rickety backs
to show up as horses were led of the
ship, which had passed veterinary in
spection before shipment.
Absolute soundness is of more con-
sequence than pedigrees in breeding
stock, particularly in draft horses.
All the draft breeds are subject to
side bones, roaring and rickety backs,
and all hereditary. They should not
be allowed to land.
1t is not enough to demand duty
on all that cannot pass inspection sue
cessfully, for that class a be bought
at such low prices in Europe that the
owner can we'll afford to pay duty;
the opportunities being plenty for
disposition of such horses to inexperi-
| enced buyers.
Second. Excessive weight in draft
horses should not hold the place it
does among American breeders. 1t
is encouraged by judges at nearly all
| shows and has led to serious injury
to, and in many cases ruin of, many
valuable stations.
Cramming stations for show or
sale soon gets their system out Of
order and impairs their breeding
ability.
knowing as l do the inside working
Of the show horse business, it is a
wonder that so many buyers will
chase after the prize winners, or the
heaviest stations they can buy, for a
large per cent. of them are worth
more for sausage meat than for
breeding.-Geo. E. Brown, in the m
