Easy to Keep Out Cranks.


OF Parramatta. When he leased the
latter last autumn Mr.. Taft said he
thought his new home the most attrac-
tive all round home on the north shore
and far more adapted TO his needs than
the old one. Among other things, it
was hard to keep out undesirab les at
the Evans place, and there We're sew

presidents guards held up visitors 10

another mansion on her Burgess Point
estate. at PARA malta the veranda

an easy matter TO keep out cranks and
the importunate.
The house is il the best colonial
style. The design was taken by the
architect from several OF Salems ad-
mirabie old mansions. with the result
that it is beautiful in 4 characteristic
caily austere manner. Beyond the
spacious entrance hall which leads
from the front door on the veranda is
the living room. aud beyond that on
the ground floor is the drawing room
now converted into the presidents ex-
eCutiye office. This connects with q
small room TO be used as waiting
room for official callers. II was here
thar the private business entrance was
cut through SO that the living room
and the main entrance. together with
oil the rest OF the house. may be shut

family. The office as well as the liv-
ing room. dining room and a window
OF the library looks out upon the ocean
and the rugged coast. which President
Taft says appeals TO him SO strongly.
On the second floor are five very
large bedrooms, and one OF these over
looking the ocean has been fitted up
for Mrs. Taft On account Of her re-
cent Illness she is expected to go
down 10 Parramatta with the family
some weeks before the president can
leave Washington. The presidents
chamber is also on the ocean side Of
the house, while the other rooms on
the second floor look out upon a pleas

LIME TO DISINFECT STABLE
Will Be Found Excellent to Destroy
Decaylng or Animal Matter
Preserve All Manure,

To disinfect a stable and destroy
~decaying animal or vegetable matter
lime is excellent to use. But manure
should be preserved and not de,
stroyed, consequently lime should
never be used in or about a stable
where manure is made or kept. It's
use decomposes the manure and lib,
crates the ammonia-tne most valu.
able element of plant food.
Acid phosphate, ground rock phos,
plate and land plaster are the three
best materials to use if other absorb,
ents are scarce.
Air Stacked lime contains a mixture
of carbonate and hydrate Of lime. II
is not so caustic as fresh burned line.
Lime stone is perfectly neutral and
has the same value as dirt or road
dust as an absorbent. It also pos.
sesses a value on sour, heavy soil be-
cause it neutralizes the soil acidity
and improves its physical condition.

TREATING HORSE FOR WORMS
Three Different Remedies Given, Any
One of Which viii Be Found to
Be Quite Effective.

This is one of the best worm do
stroyers for unthrifty colts and horses
that We have ever tried: Mix together
n pound each of sugar and salt; in
this mix one-half pound OF fine smok-
ing tobacco, six ounces Of powdered
sulphate OF iron. AS q dose for a ma
ture horse give a heaping tablespoon
full in a wheat bran mash every morn
ing for two weeks. Colts should be
given in smaller proportion to size and
age.
A veterinary supply house advises
the following remedy for worms in
horses: Give a teaspoonful OF pow
dered copper sulphate every morning
in feed for three or four days, then
give two ounce Of turpentiue in a
pint of raw linseed oil. Feed soft feed
and keep the infected animal in the
stable while under this treatment.
A veterinary physician, signing no
name, suggests this treatment in an
exchange: Clear the bowels by allow
ing the horse to fast oyer night and
give in the morning two ounces of
turpentine in a pint of raw linseed oil
or cruel, followed in the course of an
hour with a bran mash; repeat this
for two or three mornings. Santosin
in half or one ounce doses, made into
powders, with linseed meal, may be
given to valuable horses for two or
three mornings in succession, fol-
lowed by a cathartic.

A PASTOR 50 YEARS
Rev. John CoWan in One Church
That Long.
Halt a Century Ago a Young Man
Came to a Missouri Community
and Has Been Pastor There
Ever Since.

Fulton, Mo.-Fifty years the pastor
OF n church. That is the record Of
Rev. DR.. John Fleming Cowan. Re-
Gently the people in northeast Gala
way county entered upon a two-days'
celebration in his honor.
For half a century Doctor Cowan has
served the Old Auxvasse Presbyterian
church as pastor. For two score
years and ten he has presided as spir-
1tual adviser and servant of a church
that is in a sense the mother church
of many of those now in existence in
this section.
Doctor Cowan came to the Old Aux
vase church as a young man of TWEEN
ty-four. The country was rent with
strife and the lines were sharply
drawn. He was a man of southern be-
liefs and his people were of the same
mind. He fitted into the post and he
mas fitted there ever since.
Auvasse church is so-called because
it stands on a high elevation in a big
bend of the AuXvasse river, a stream
that derived its name from the
French. 1t is on the highway between
Williamsburg and McCredie, two viii
lagos in the northeast part of Galloway
county. The church was organized
June 80, 1928, by pioneers from Ken
lucky and Virginia. Three buildings
have served as meeting places for the
congregation since that time. All Of
them have been modest structures.
The present church Is a frame build
ing n is extremely simple.
Doctor Cowan has been satisfied to
labor among these Industrious, honest
and worthy people. His congregation
has been satisfied to listen to the
plain, yet convincing sermons Of the
man who has served them from early

JUDGED BY THEIR CLOTHES
Smart Cigar Store Clerk Ready With
Apology That by No Means
Mended Situation.

Herman Fellner tells this story on
himself. according to the New York
correspondent of the Cincinnati Times
Star. He was in Washington on bust
ness recently and met three or four
friends on the street. After a mo-
ment's chat he beckoned them to
come with him. I'm OF the stun"
said he, but l want to buy you each
a cigar"
They happened to be in front Of a
combination cigar and news stand at
the moment. Led by Mr.. FeTlner, they
all trooped In. The clerk hurried to
the cigar case to wait upon them. Be
fore Mr.. Fellner could indicate his
wishes the clerk had slapped a box
on the glass case. Here y are" said
he. Best dime smoker in town"
Mr.. Fellner is sort OF fussy about
his smokes. He looked at the cigar
then showed the box away. Have
you no other price," he asked.
The clerk showed the box in the
case. Sure thing" said he. MY mis-
take and your treat"
Having pulled off this time-worn
witticism, he addressed Mr.. Fellner
c~onfidentially. Your clothes sort OF
fooled me-" said he. You fellers are
a pretty well-dressed lot, you know"
Then he put another box or the coun-
ter. Here" said he, rs the best
nickel smoker in the village"

youth until the declining years of his
life. Nowhere in this section is a
community of better people and no.
where is there a man of the cloth
who has followed nearer in the foot
steps of the man whose teachings he
has e~ndeayored to emulate than Doc
tor Cowan. Idealism has been DEM
,onstrated in it's fullest sense.
When the preachers Of the pioneer
! days came to serve the congregation
at Old Auxvasse they found a church
built of logs. In 1910 a church of
Brick was erected. Then in 1870 came
the building that is still serving as
the home of worship.
Doctor Cowan was born at Potosi,
Mo-, March s, 1897. Much of his early
education was gained through his ia
= Their, Rev. John F. Cowan, one of the
early Presbyterian ministers of the
state. He graduated from Westmin-
ster college in 1858 and then took a
theological course at Princeton Semi
nary, completing his work there in
1861.
Rev. Mr.. Cowan lived in the coun-
try near the church until his wife died
and his daughter married. His wife
was Miss Jane Grant, a native of Cal
laway county. In 1888 Mr.. Cowan
moved to Fulton, where he is teaching
modern languages In Westminster col
lege. These new duties did not lessen
his love for the pastoral work OF the
Old Auxvasse church and he contin-
ued in the pastorate.
He has preached to the congregation
of the Old Auxvasse church $500
times. In other churches during re-
vival meetings and occasional visits
he has preacher 1900 times. He has
conducted fifty revival meetings in
various churches.
To the Auxvasse church during the
fifty years of his pastorate 535 men,
bfrs have been added, 200 children
hdve been baptized and 240 couples
have been married. One hundred and
thirty-seven members OF the congrega-
ton have died during that period and
Doctor Cowan has conducted their fu-
nerals. OF this number 65 were men

ECZEMA DISFIGuRED BABY

Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but a few weeks
old. His little face vas covered with
sores even to back of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his little
face was disfigured very much. We
hardly knew what he looked like. The
face looked like raw meat. We tied
little bags Of cloth over his hands to
prevent him from scratching. He was
very restless at night, his little face
itched.
1--WE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine Of the
two doctors without any result, we
read Of the Cuticura Remedies, and
at once bought Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly We saw the
result, and after four weeks, the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every n who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has a
head of hair which is a pride for any
boy Of his age. three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura RENE
dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs. II.

Rack for Feeding Cattle.

upper ones through which the cattle
may put their heads and eat. A stack
of hay may be put in the rack, If
desired. After the stack is fed out
several loads may be thrown into the

cattle eat it. The shape of the rack

LIVE STOCK
CID NOTES

Linseed meal contains bone-forming
matter.
Horses with tender feet need lots
Of attention.
In the purchase of a new horse al.
ways purchase a mare.
No domestic animals increase or
decrease as rapidly as pigs.
Parasites common to sheep infest
southern fiocks just as elsewhere.
Keeping comfortable goes a long
ways toward making cheap pork.
1t is a mistake IL the hog is rot fed
in a clean place free from dust and
mud.
1t should be remembered that a
horse a do more than his feet will
stand.
Failure to secure profits in hog
raising are usually due to misman-
agement.
Good clean food, pure water, fresh
air and clean surroundings such as
stables and yards will keep stock
healthy and increase the profits on
the place.
Any work or exercise which pro-
duces evere strain on the muscles,
especially of the h~indquarters, is liza

One of the first essentials for the
%well-being and comfort of live stock
is the water supply, which. upon the

One Good Mutton Breed.

Mutton sheep should never be of
mixed breeds on one farm. Get one
good mutton breed, stick to it and de-
velop it to the highest notch possible.
A lot of mixed lambs never bring the
highest price on the market. 1t is
those of one breed, uniform in size,
shape and condition that get the big
money.

Name and Function,

The following story is told of DR..
Boyd Carpenter, the bishop of Ripon.
In the days Of his early ministry there
came to him one day a young man and
a maiden, very bashful, very self-con-
scious. and on a very obvious errand.
Are you Mr.. Carpenter" asked the
young man In a f~altering voice.
Yes" was the reassuring reply.
Il am Carpenter-and joiner"

Sheep Are

Sheep are nervous animals and Of
rather delicate constitutions and suf-
fer more from bad ventilation and
o~vercrowding than any other animal
on the farm; IL is a mistake therefore
to confine sheep during the winter in
close quarters. If kept dry their
feeces will keep them warm. Who
ever heard of sheep freezing to death?

Leather Halter Preferred.

Use a leather halter rein instead of
a chain when tying horses in their
stalls. They may become entangled
and the leather rein may possibly
break and release them without seri-
u injury, while the chain will hold
and often times cause their death.

Mistake of Breeders.

A great many breeders seem to
think If they possess a.pure-bred boar
the quality of the sows does not count
for much. This is a sad mistake in
deed, and farmers cannot be too care
full in the selection of well-bred sows.
