Pasture Weeds.

The cheapest way to rid the pas
ture of weeds, as we'll as other parts
of the farm where sheep can be al
lowed to run, is to keep some sheep
grazing upon it. We believe it is also
the best way to keep down weeds, as
the sheep wander over the same land
day after day and keep the weeds
closely picked down all the time, while
if you depend on moving the weeds
1t can only be done occasionally and
not very often at best A good sized
bunch of sheep will do more weed
killing than man, and do it at a
profit to the owner, while the man
would be quite an item of expense,
besides fertilizer is thus evenly dis
tributed and the soil benefited

Senator's Prospects.

'As old Knute goes so goes Mime

the great mass of Republican voters
In Minnesota decide public questions
of moment. according to a member
of the House from that State.
They tell a story in the Senate
cloakrooms about a campaign orator
who was delivering speeches in Min
nesota. He marvelled at the hold
Nelson had on the people of the State.
One day he was discussing the subject
with a Norwegian political boss. To
his amazement he discovered that the
rest of the folks in Washington who
were generally supposed to have some-
thing to do with shaping the destiny
of the nation we're lot of amateurs
when compared with Nelson. He
therefore decided to put the matter
to supreme test.

boss had declared. che ban smart fell

asked.

Preserving Eggs For Winter Use.

When eggs are cheap the thrifty
'housekeeper ought to put some down

serving them, in salt, lime and water

dozen last summer in the latter way
and not one egg had spoiled. Get a
fifteen cent can of waterglass and dis
solve it in ten quarts of water that
has been previously boiled and
cooled. Place it in a stone crock or

and they will keep perfectly. Kept
in this way they can be used in any
way that fresh egg can and there is
no foreign taste or odor.-Mrs. r. +.

Parsons Saving Clause.

A party of genial spirits were gath

afternoon, talking about preachers

casionally make in the pulpit when
Francis b. Lee, lawyer and historiani
of Trenton, told how a good dominic
friend of his once threw an uninten-
tional jolt into well known and pop
ular secret organization.
The secret organization" said Mr..
Lee, was about to have public SER
vice, and the committee in charge
asked his preacher friend to deliver,
one of the prayers. The dominieI
readily consented. and, knowing that
among other worthy things, the lodge
prided itself on its charity. he decided
TO make that feature of the prayer.
Needless to say, he did the thing
beautifully. He painted realistic
word picture of the widow and or
phan. and showed the helping hand
extended in generous relief. In al
most every phrase and sentence he
referred to the charity of the organi-
zation. In fact. the whole prayer
breathed an atmosphere of charity.

Organize to Elevate the Drama.

Mrs. A. Starr Best, society and lit
erary woman, of Chicago, is president
of the Drama League of America, a
new association that has undertaken
to improve the moral and intellectual
tone of the stage. She is one of sew
eral Chicago women who have de-
clared a war on the chorus girl in
tights and upon suggestive plays.
Their method is to stimulate the best
drama by encouraging an interest in
plays as literature. In this way it is
hoped to awaken a keener interest in
plays as art and not as mere amuse-
ment. 1--WE aim," says Mrs. Best, "to
work with the public in an endeavor
to organize 1t into a trained audience,
capable of enjoying and demanding
the best plays. Thus far, the public
has been too good natured. 1t accepts

Hay For Sheep.

Glover hay is a most excellent feed
for sheep. but alfalfa is just as good
as clover. Alfalfa is not only higher
in protein, but is more relished. In
the way of a forage plant there is
nothing better than good alfalfa hay
for sheep, as pasture clover is safer
than alfalfa. In the fall of the year,
however, sheep may be pastured on
alfalfa with little or no loss from
bloat. Any one who can grow alfalfa
successfully can make sheep raising
very profitable. - Farmers Home

Brood Sow Food.

Upon the handling and feeding of
a brood SOW depends a great deal as
to the success with which she will
raise her pigs. At all times be quiet
and kind to the SOW. She should be
thin in flesh when bred, as flesh will
render her more difficult to get with
pig, and will also have a tendency to
make the number of pigs in the litter
fewer. From the time she is safe in
pig she should be kept gaining in
flesh until farrowing time. l have

ing t.me.-Farmers' Home Journal.

Plan i'm Breeding.

If one is breeding with a special
object in view, say to produce strain
of phenomenal layers, 1t is not good
plan to introduce strange blood every
year, as, by doing so, the advantage
gained one year may be lost the next,
unless cockerel can be obtained
from a known flock being bred with
the same purpose as your own. II
this cannot be done, it is best to in
breed. And there is right way and
q wrong way to do that. The right
way requires several breeding pens.
First year, begin with one-year-old
cockerel and two-year hens; second
year, breed best pullets to same male.
and mate best cockerel of previous
year with the hens of the first year.
If you know the hen that laid the egg
from which he was Matched, put her
out of the pen. Third year, discard
the first-year pen entirely, both male
and females, and mate best cockerel
In pen produced by breeding the orig
inal mothers to cockerel offspring of
first year, to hens which were hatched
from first years pen and were mated
as pullets with their father (they are
now two years old and the cockerel,
now grown to be two-year-old roos-
ter. to the pullets produced by the
first years pullets bred back to the
father.
Now you have two pens, and may
have more II you like Of fowls Of the
same strain, but little or no relation.
Keep breeding one-year-old cockerels
from one pen to two-year-old hens
from the others. This is better than
constantly introducing new and
strange blood. Colman's Rural

Stable Food.

Make staple food of the grain
that is cheapest in your locality,
whether corn, oats, wheat, barley,
millet or anything else. Then study
its composition, and make up its de-

to speak broadly, all are good for the
fowls. but none are perfect. and
