The care Of a flock of sheep is Job
q good deal less sweaty and laborious
than the swing Of the scythe and the
hoe in an unending effort to kill off the
weeds. In the presence Of such flock
the weeds rapidly disappear and the
grasses take the possession of the
ground. Some farmers are said to
hesitate about starting a flock Of sheep
because Of the possible reduction of
the duty on wool and the decline in
price that perhaps would follow. But
this would cut no figure in the case.
Mutton always commands a profit
able price, and the combined returns
from mutton and wool, added to the
services Of the sheep In keeping down
the weeds and enriching the land, will
perhaps make the flock highly valu-
able contributor to the prosperity of
the farm.

STUDENTS STRIKE BREAKERS.
Princeton Men Take Places of Thirty
five Choir Singers.

Trenton, n. j., Jan. ~ Eighteen
Princeton students played the roles of
strike breakers at two services in st.
Michaers Episcopal church, taking the
places of the thirty-five members of
the church choir who were out on
strike. The choirmaster, who also
struck with the singers, was not on
hand, and neither was the old organ
list, his place having been filled at the
morning and evening services by
George Chapman.
The strikers did such effective picket
duty, however, that the church, usually
we'll filed at service, contained many
empty seats at both the morning and
night services The Princeton boys
did very well as supplanters of the
regular choir, and they seemed to enter
into the work with determined spirit.
The choir went on strike because,
they declared, the rector, Rev. w. B..
Eddy, was interfering with them and
also with the choirmaster.
1t was limited today that there would
be several designations of vestrymen
handed in to the pastor within day
or so as a result Of the choir incident.
The Princeton boys after the night
service boarded a train and returned
to the university.

DIR. VIM. e. BARKER'S
EXPERIENCE IN LONDON.
(From the Rochester Times.)

(From the Rochester Times.)
Half a century ago there was no
city in the world where an eminent
specialist had the opportunities that
were presented to one in London;
eraliZing this fact DR.. Barker, after
graduating from Heidelburg, locat-
ed in London. His practice grew so
rapidly that at the end of five years
he established the largest practice
of any physician in that city. His
practice was confined to chronic
cases only in the treatment of rheu-
matiSm, catarrh, kidney and bladder
diseases. He used one never-failing
rescription-this same prescription
he had written thousands of times;
and he had seen patients come into
his Office on crutches, who said they
had been troubled with rheumatism
for 15 and twenty years, and after
they used this special prescription
for two or three days, they would
come walking to his office, as nimbly
as a school boy, and thank him for
the good he had done them. The
Doctor said in an interview that one
man about As years old came to him
one day and said he had been injur-
ed while working at the carpenter
trade about twenty years before, and
had suffered constantly since with
kidney trouble. He had tried every
thing to get relief, but nothing
seemed to do him any good. He ask
ed the Doctor il he really knew any
thing that would cure him, and he
told him OF a never-failing remedy
for all chronic cases like his. He
wrote him prescription and told
him to take it for week and then
come and let him know how he was
getting along. This man came back
to his office in just four days and
said he had not felt as well in his
life. He also stated that his daugh-
ter, whom he had taken out of
school because her eyes were too
weak to study, and she could hardly
see from one of them at all; she
had been treated by four eye spec
ialists without relief, and after he
had taken this prescription for two
days he says he saw it was helping
him so much he let her take some
of it, and to their great surprise, she
improved wonderfully almost from
the first dose. He told him that it
was only a weeks time after she
commenced to take the medicine un-
til she could see as we'll as ever and
was able to return to school.
1t was not until after hundreds Of
such remarkable cases had been
treated by DR.. Barker with this same
prescription that he was Prevailed
upon in the interest of humanity to
allow the wonderful prescription to
be put up so that every sufferer
could have it at a very small cost.
The public can now secure this pre-
scription under the name of Blood
inc, at drug stores, or The Bloodine
Laboratories, Boston, Mass, will

bottles) for $3.50; so cents a bot

The postmaster approached in rage
and shouted. "Who is that fellow, and
what do you mean by insulting him?"

nonchalantly, 'and whenever l go in

MARRIAGE AS 1T is TODAY.
Women Too Busy With Interests Out
side the Home,

Since all time the happiness that at.
tends a marriage has been uncertain.
Men and women expect so much and
often give SO little. Disappointment is
all too common, for the average young
individual expects perfection and finds
poor human nature.
mo man is hero to his valet" runs
the bitter old French proverb. 1t is
perhaps as hard to be hero in the
eyes of the woman a man has married
five years after marriage. Familiarity
breeds contempt. 1t is hard to laugh
not once, but many times, at the same
jest, at the same old story as our moth
ers did. In the present day that is not
even attempted.
Most women and great many men
only try to please before, not after,
marriage, and so marriage is not as
happy as it used to be.
Marriage formerly among women
was looked upon as profession. Now
1t is only an incident, and an incident
that need not continue unless 1t means
sugar and spice and all that's nice to
the woman, for her home is often the
last place where wife is to be found
The modern woman is often so busy
that she cannot live at home She
must sell roses for hospitals, organize
relief for strikers, slum among the des
titute and leave her husband and chill.
dren to look out for themselves.
This is not quite for the happiness Of
the world, because the right center of a
woman's life is her home, and when
that is vacant the cupboard of the af-
fections becomes bare. Remember, aft
er all is said and done, 1t is the man
who works for the woman. 1t is he
that tolls for the bower and for the
comforts of his wife. 1t is therefore
not only foolish. but not fair, if, when
he returns home. the bower is always
empty.

Silaqe For Horses.

The Pennsylvania station expert
mented with feeding horses silage, and
here is what Professor Cochel says of
feeding it to draft horses:
Silage which is made from mature
corn, Is free from mold, has not
been exposed to air too long before
feeding and is properly supplemented
with other feeds which will make up
the deficiency in protein can be fed to
horses with safety when care is used
10 have them become gradually aocus-
toned to it.
Horses fed silage as a portion Of
their ration consumed less grain, made
their gains at lesser cost per pound,
were sleeker and better finished than
when fed on rations not containing
silage.

WARMING SLOP FOR
HOGS IN WINTER.
COnduCeS to Thrift In Breeding
and Fattening Animals.

A great many of our best feeders,
says Farm, Stock and Home, now
make it a practice to feed sloop, or at
least considerable water, up until the
very last of the feeding process. and
the majority of them warm the water
they use. Warm water helps to break
down the feed better, and 1t induces a
better circulation Of blood to the di-
gestive tract than does cold water
One of the great difficulties always
encountered with breeding sows dur
ing the winter is to get them to drink
sufficient water. They should drink q
great deal of II, not alone because they
need 1t for body functions, but also
that they will be kept satisfied without
eating 80 much dry feed as to make
them overfat. Water fills without fur
nishing many nutrients.
Under ordinary conditions as soon as
water begins to get real cold hogs re-
fuse to drink much OF 1t, and so they
require larger ration of other feed be-
fore they are satisfied. II, on tho other
band. the water is warmed and is
mixed in sufficient quantity with their
feed they will take 1t into their SIS
tens without the slightest objections
and will be much better or for 1t.
The feed bill will also be smaller at
the same time. Whether the slop is
warmed for fattening stock or not we
would certainly advise that 1t be for
the breeding stock.

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Clean Milking Pays.

Attention to some simple things will
make the milking process cleaner
6ne-the keeping of the stable as
clean and free from odors as its con-
struction will permit; the handling Of
feed and bedding, especially hay and
straw, Just before milking fills the air
with dust. Dust must be present in
order for the bacteria to get In which
cause souring of milk.
Keep the cows clean and well
groomed. An occasional brushing will
help to do this, but it should not be
given just before milking because of the
dust Wipe off the f1anks and udder
of the COW with a damp cloth In order
to remove oil loose hairs, dandruff and
foreign materials that stick to her, in
stead Of allowing them to fall into the
milk. Clipping the f1anks and udder is
advisable.
Use a covered pail. A hood of tin
covering a part Of the top Is all that is
necessary. The old style flarinG top
open pail catches all the dirt possible.
Experiments in which the actual
amount of dirt and bacteria allowed to
enter the milk in covered and open
pals has been determined show a very
decided advantage for the covered pail
The mixer himself may do much to
contaminate the milk by milking with
unclean hands and dirty clothes. A
milker with filthy habits should never
be given a seat in the COW stable

Diskina stubbIs Field.

If you have any stubble ground that
wasn't plowed last fall 60 over 1t with
a disk before p!owing next spring.
This will not only aid In conserving
moisture, but it will also enable you
to produce better seed bed later on.
The best farmers are diSking before
piowing ~ well as after ploWing now

moisture. Your crop may be measured
by the amount Of moisture you con-
serve in your soil. There isn't going to
be an oysSsupply next year.

TT HE most implacable of spooks,
with a terror-inspiring record
covering a century and quar-
ter-almost the whole existence of
the National Capital at Washington
has been boldly challenged by the
Commercial Club of that city. They
have bought the land which reeks
of murder, suicide, deaths by fire
and mysterious infection and the un-
canniest ghostly visitations that have
ever figured in ghostly history, and
are spending 100000 to convert
this awesome spot into a cheerful
centre of Washington club life.
Although three separate buildings
have successfully taken the place of
the lonely cottage where. in 1892,
the record of horror began, the
ghosts have remained with the land.
They rendered uninhabitable even
the present handsome mansion
which Baron Rosen occupied with
his family during his period OF ser
vice as Russian Ambassador The
wife of Bakhmetieff, the BarOn's sue
cessOr, a Washington girl, familiar
with its history, would have none of
it. 1t has remained vacant and
avOided-fOr the daring members
of the Commercial Club to recon-
struct and occupy, while the older
generations Of Washington society
await with shivery confidence the
resumption of the spook's blood
curdling activities.
This persistently haunted spot.
latterly known as the Tyler house,
is on the south side of Farragut
square, almost in the centre Of that
fashionable residence district. On
the same spot stood The mansion Oc-
cupied by Secretary of the Navy
Benjamin, F. Tracy and his family
during the Harrison Administration.
The Tracy servants were fright
ened out of their wits by the ancient
spooks malicious activities. The
climax of horror came with a con-
fiagration in which Mrs. Tracy and
her daughter lost their lives. But
these ghosts, which had remained
with the land-althCug1 the cottage
of their origin still stood, moved out
to the junction of the Brightwood
road with Mount Pleasant-prOved
themselves fireproof.

tavorite lounging room of the Com
mercial Club. But the ghosts so de-
m1ra.ized their servants that they
had to give up the haunted residence.
When the Bakhmetieffs were ap-
pointed to succeed the Rosens it was
generally supposed that as the Rus
sian Embassy is still unfinished that
they would lease and occupy the Ty-
Ter house on Farragut Square. But no.
Nine Bakhmetieff, being a former
Washington woman, and having
spent all her girlhood in the old De-
catur house on Lafayette Square
within a stones throw Of the Tyler
house would have none Of it. Had
not the nerves Of Baron RoserEs
daughter been wrecked there?

premises by such numbers, will

stone cutter and his beautiful wife?
