Fans In shakssnsars,s linz.

Fans in Shakespeare's time seem
to have been composed of ostrich
and other feathers fastened to han
dies. Gentlemen carried fans in
those days. According TO an old
manuscript in the Ashmolean mu-
scum, Sir Edward Cole rode the cir
cult with a prodigous fan, which
had a long stick, with which he cor.

CITY MEN FOR FARMS.
Many Would Make Good Hired Hand 5
il They Had Chance.


if They Had Chance.
Many farmers throughout the couh-
try find it q difficult matter to get
hired hands, while in the great cities
there are thousands of men out Of
work. The problem Of inducing some
of the down and outs of city life to go
out on the farms is claiming the atten,
ton Of social students.
A commission of the New York leg,
islature recently has been making an
inquiry into the matter though it has
not taken up the subject extensively.
John Mitchell, the noted labor leader,
was present at one Of the sessions and
made suggestions.
The chief trouble seems to be that
those in the cities who are always
deep in poverty know nothing Of coun-
try life, seldom if ever having seen
the green fields. They were born TO
their conditions and know nothing
else
Thousands of these men, no doubt,
If they should be taken out and given
jobs on farms would return to the city
as soon as they earned money enough.
That is because the city sights and
sounds have become second nature to
them. They would pine for the filth
and furore Of their native element
But, on the other hand, there is no
doubt that many men in the cities
would welcome chance to get away
to the country for themselves and
their families and would develop into
excellent farm hands. The problem is
TO put these men in touch with farm
ers who need them.

Diseases of Fowls.

Most Of the diseases that afflict
fowls are the result of carelessness
and Indifference on the part of the
owner as regards the surroundings
and conditions of his poultry. No
poultry will show to advantage on the
credit side OF the cash account unless
they are healthy and well cared for
How to prevent disease should be the
watohword rather than how to cure

Rsef and Dairy Cattle.

When n dairyman has faced the ac-
tual practice of selling cows from his
herd for beef he will not feel encour-
aged over the outlook of combining
beef and dairy qualities in the same
herd. There is popular prejudice
against eating beef from an old, play
ed out dairy COW, and there Is no adj
vantage Ia trying to combine the two
qualities Ia one animal.

Washington, July 9.-In the opin-

falling off in the crop of spring
wheat is considerably exaggerated
throughout the country so far as its
effect upon the great transportation
companies and upon the total yield
of cereals is concerned. 1t is pointed
out the corn acreage showed an in
crease of over 100000 acres, while
the condition of winter wheat, a
more important crop than spring,
wheat, showed an increase for July
over the report of June 1. The corn
crop promises to be so large that,
in the opinion of many of these sta
tisticians, the amount 'of cereals to
be transported will exceed that of
last year.
