DIED

Captain Barney Sweeney, aged So
years, pioneer of this city, died Tues
day night at o'clock at his home on
Seventh and st. Clair streets. He had
been in failing health for several
weeks and his death was not uneXpect-
ed.
Captain Sweeney was born in the
state of New York, Nov. II, 1927, and
came to Manitowoc when boy. He
followed the lakes from his youth and
was one of the most widely known cap
tains on the Great Lakes. For many
years Capt. Sweeney was employed
with the Goodrich Transit Company
and was commodore of the company's
fleet of boats and his last service on the
lakes was in the employ of the Good
rich Co. Capt. Sweeney in his capac-
ity as commander of boats Of the Good
rich fleet, had taken many of the COM
pany's boats out for their first trips,
the last one being the steamer Virgin
ia, which he was in command Of at the
time of his retirement from service
twelve years ago.
After coming to Manitowoc he Sc
cured work on the lakes and advanced
rapidly from that day and was employ
ed by the old Ward Transportation
Company when the company was sue
ceeded by the Goodrich Company.
Capt. Sweeney remained with the
Goodrich line and the fact that when
he retired in the COS after long years
of service, he was still with the com
pany, is testimonial to his ability and
character and evidence of his success
in the line which he followed. Capt.
Sweeney was with the Goodrich Co.
from the time the company organized
until his retirement, which was forced
by old age and i'll health.
In earlier days on Lake Michigan,
Capt. Sweeney commanded boats of the
Ward Company which operated be-
tween Michigan City, Chicago and
Milwaukee and in that day there was
no rail line terminals at Milwaukee
and Chicago, Michigan City being the
western terminal of the rail lines al
that time. Capt. Sweeney sailed some
of the boats which opened the west
shore to this city, Sheboygan and Green
Bay. He was commodore of the Good.
rich fleet of boats and was one of the
valued employees of the company whose
long service was ittin.ly recognized
by the company at the time of his re
tirement.
He is survived by one daughter, Miss
Nellie Sweeney.
The fune raj will be held this after.
noon at = o'clock. Burial will be il

How to DisInfect.

The careless manner in which many
people fumigate their homes aftec-a
siege of infectious disease Is to say
the least criminal
As soon as the physician gives per-
mission TO move the patient. he should
be given hot bath and a sponging all
over with a weak solution of bichfo-
ride and move him into the room pre-
pared for him
The sick room itself should be thor
oughly disinfected and everything that
has been used that 1t is necessary to
keep and is washable should be
soaked for several hours I'm a solu-
ton of carbolic acid twenty parts to
a hundred of water. 1t Is almost I'M
possible TO disinfect a mattress we'll
at home and It should either be
burned or sent to an establishments
where such things are sterilized
There are several methods OF fumt-
CATION; one is the burning of sulphur.
and follow that by wiping off every
thing in the room with a solution OF
bichloride, one part TO five hundred
of water The walls may be wiped
with broom bag dampened with the
solution.
The use of formaldehyde Is pre-
ferred by many, stopping up every
crack and keyhole and letting the vol
atile substance penetrate every part
of the room.
All bedding should be spread out
over chairs so that the gas will have
easy access to It. Leave the room
closed for IL hours, then air thor
oughly Formalin lamps which pro-
duce the gas may be purchased. This
is one OF the easiest methods and ono
that is considered most satisfactory.
Books and TOYS are something imposst
bic to fumigdte or disinfect, and IL is
much better to burn them than To run
any risks OF contagion.
Disease germs live long time In
hiding. and one cannot use too much
care and precaution
The germs OF consumption are
killed by a few minutes exposure TO
the direct sunlight as are many other
germs. so let us use the cheap ana
easily available germicide and keep
our homes healthful and sweet.

CULLING FLOCK FOR LAYERS
New Jersey Man First Gets Rid Of
Runts, then Those With Crooked
Toes and Other Deformities.

The first thing | do in culling my
flock is to get rid of the runts Birds
that are understood and stunted and
yet have had the same treatment as
the larger ones are undesirable as
breeders. A man can't always raise
prize winners, but will always have
some specimens, writes A. l.. Vree-
land Of Essex county, New Jersey, in
the American Agriculturist. Next |
remove all birds with crooked toes,
crossed beaks, crooked tails, etc, and
save for the breeders the big, strong,
healthy birds that have good size,
shape and color.
For cockerels | select large, gawky
birds, as they make the best breed
ers. The fowl with large frame and
heavy bones, though ungainly, in due
time fills out and becomes an admir-
able specimen. Last fall | selected
two Barred Plymouth Rock cocker
els; one was nearly developed, a fine
looking fellow just about ready to
put in the breeding pen; the other
was an ungainly. long-legged one, but

COOPERATE IN CAN FACTOY
Good Manager Is Of More Importance
for Success Than Any Other
One Factor.

Cooperative canning factories are
being carried on in few communities
In Minnesota Some have been fail
ures and some have been successes
The principal causes of failure have
been the inability of the stockholders
TO stick together when conditions
seemed adverse. and incompetent man
agement, writes A. R kohler In the
Farm, Stock and Home A good man
ager for such a concern is more i'm
portant for its success than any other
one factor. Dissolution of membership
Is very apt to follow case of poor
management. 1t has been stated BY
Gamers that where factories are prop
erly managed and the goods well sold
which latter has not been a diff cult
problem, there is no reason why there
should not be a good profit in the bust
ness
one cooperative cannery returned
10 per cent. on It's investment TO the
stockholders this year after several
thousand dollars had been reserved
from the profits for a sinking fund
ihls factory has been running three
years, but had not been able to give
any dividends to its stockholders the
nrst two years. They stuck together
however. and through the lessons of
their hrst two years experience were
enabled to do we'll enough to return
good profit this year, as above
noted. They put out first-class

that they never sent carload to

WHAT MAKES AN IDEAL HOME?
BY L. P. w.

The ideal home is not made up sim
ply Of furniture, fixtures and decora-
tions. The furnishings may be luxuri-
Gus, the decorations Of the most
artistic character, the arrangements
for comfort, perfect in every respect,
still, if it lacks the sunshine, warmth
of love and affection it is not an ideal
home. 1t is marvellous, too, if the
home lacks this element. how soon it
will be manifest. The absence of it
permeates the very atmosphere.
There are homes, however, whose
memory is a perpetual joy, and to
which we always turn with emotions
Of gladness and pleasure. They are
plain and unpretentious, yet they are
filled with beauty because of the spirit
of love and affection abiding therein
1t is the duty of father and mother to
make the home attractive. Make the
living rooms pleasant give them the
sunniest side of the house. The plant
that lives in the shade is sickly and
unsightly.
One of the conditions of a pleasant
home is the preservation of order
Have place for everything and put
