Iondon. The meeting of BramWell
and darlington Booth a few days ago
after an estrangement of many years
has led to the making public OF many
versions of the controversy whlch cui-
minated more than II years ago IN the
withdrawal of Darlington Booth from
the Salvation Army But the truth ap-
Dears to be that he resigned rather
than leave America. He had contract
ed an affection for the country whlch
made a permanent residence else

termination to remain in the land Oh

would justify a departure from the
rule of unquestioning obedience which
was established when the Salvation

First Tweed Trousers.

Sir Walter Scott's black and white
tweed trousers figured in paper deal
ing with the designing and coloring Of
Scotch tweeds read by Thomas Welsh
at the opening session Of the Textile
congress at Harwick The author was
one of the earliest wearers of the
tweed and the first pieces made were
in the black and white design.
Colored checks were introduced BY
accident. A manufacturer had TaS q
number of PIECES, and ssel.EbiH
80 impure and soiled they could noNDg
sold. Then some one suggested that
II the pieces were dyed brown the
defect would be covered. The sugges-
ton was acted upon and new check
Of black and brown was the result.
The new color was sent to London
and sold rapidly. It was short step
to dye black and green and blue, and
to make broken checks and the trade
increased amazingly.
Ideas for colors were collected in
the bed of the River Garry and the
pass of Killiecrankie. 1t was now pos
sible for lady to have reversible
skirt made up in such a way that she
might appear at one time in modest
blue and at another in the tartan Of
her clan.-London News and Leader.

Pedigree is only proof of breed
ing.
Any kind OF stock likes variety of
feed.
Sheep are the quietest and easiest
handled of all farm stock.
Provide light and ventilation. Use
plenty of bedding for absorbent.
The hen that is on her job, is a hap
py hen. Mis:rust the hen that never
sings.
Avoid all extremes in feed and
exercise when caring for breeding
stock.
Graceful carriage and stylish action
are the leading qualifications in a
coach horse
A little time spent now training the
spring colt may save trouble and acci-
dents later.
Worms in sheep or hogs are caused
by infected pens or pastures. Watch
these places.
Thorough grooming Of work horses
saves feed and adds to comfort and
health Of the animals.
There is as much difference in the
milking qualities Of brood COWS as
there is in dairy cows.
Some men have to be fairly dragged
into believing that hens are paying
property on every farm.
Two or three hours Of exercise a
day are necessary to keep the dairy
bull in the best Of form.
Any great transportation Of live
stock requires the closest attention be-
cause 1t Is prolific of disease.
The more rapidly an animal can be
made to gain the less the cost of that
gain, other things being equal.
Early maturity means that we have
created an animal that we can put
upon the market at an early age.
A matured breeding sow raises
stronger and better piss, as a rule,
and more Of them at a given age.
The dairy cow should be removed to

The favor Of the egg Is Influenced
by feed.
Save all the leaves and use them in
the scratching shed.
The older the hen the larger will be
her averaged sized eggs.
Double-yolked eggs are the result
of over-fat, or diseased ovary.
A good time to Gull out the in.
ferior birds is when the market Is
up.
Fix it so your fresh cow will
not see or hear their calves if you
can.
The best milk flow cannot be main
tained without variety of feeds for the
COW.
There is truth in the argument that
milk should be aerated before it Is
cooled.
Eggs are colored by pigment,
which, it seems, does not exist in
all fowls.
The dairy ties one to the farm pref
ty close, but it oftentimes unties the
bond Of debt
Where the dropping boards are
made of matched lumber the job Of
cleaning them is easier.
There is one important thing to re-
member when trying for winter eggs:
Make your hens scratch.
The first eggs of winter are gen.
orally larger than those laid at the
close of the summer season.
Tying to run dairy without
cream separator is like attempting to
steer a ship without rudder.
A horse will not do well shut up in
a tight box stall-he should have
plenty of air and light at all times.
The best plan for weaving colts Is
to keep the mare and colt apart until
they have entirely forgotten each
other
Unless more butter is made from
a can of cream than it contains
pounds of fat there Is something
wrong.
Only rich men can afford to keep
COWS that do not earn their feed The
poorer man is the better his COWS
ought to be.
The dirt and sweat which accumu-
late on the horses during the day
should never be allowed to remain on

Recording Sea Temperatures.

The superintendent of the Johns
Hopkins Botanical Gardens, William
H. Witte, has given to the public his
ingenious plan for automatically re-
cording changes in sea temperature
when ship is passing through the
ice fields. Water flows through
small tank in the BOW Of the vessel, in
which three distinct appliances serve
to record the changes Of tempera-
ture. These includ, a high and low
thermometer, copper plate which,
lengthening or shortening, operates a
lever and records the changes Of
temperature on a revolving drum and
series of tubes filled with alcohol, the
tubes being connected by small alco-
hol filled pipe with diaphragm which.
through lever and pen, also records
the changes of temperature on a
drum. All records may be read in
the pilot house.-Scientific American.

so that no seed is allowd to ripen. A
cultivated crop should be grown the
next season, and then the land can
be planted to wheat without any dan
ger of the vetch volunteering.
The use of low-grade screenings ir
adulteration usually introduces vari
Gus weed seeds which are few OF
wanting in the best vetch seed Some
Of these are generally recognized as
noxious, and seed containing them
should not be sown.
Corn cookie, or cookie. seeds prob
ably are the commonest of the weed
seeds with vetch seed, particularly
seed Of hairy vetch. This seed is
recognized by its spiny surface, angu'
lar form, and dark-brown or black
color.
Cow cookie seeds, often referred tc
as cookie, differ from the preceding
in being spherical and not splny
They are black and about the size OF
the smallest hairy vetch seeds.
The seeds of cleavers are somewhat
hemispherical, the fattened face hav'
ing depression or cavity at the scar
The surface Is roughened and gray
or light brown. The gray color aids
in distinguishing these seeds from
vetch seed.
Field bindweed seeds are angular
brown or gray, the surface being fine
ly rougheped. They are similar in
form to those of the morning-glory
They are not common in vetch seed,
except in low-grade lots.
Bell mustard seeds are inclosed
singly In small straw-colored or
brown, net-veined pods. The pods are
somewhat nattened and are about the
size of the smaller hairy vetch seeds.
English charlock, or wild mustard
seeds occur in some lots Of poorly
cleaned seed Of hairy vetch. The char
lock seeds are smaller than those OF
hairy vetch, and fthey are spherical
black or brown. They should not be
confounded with the previously de-
scribed COW cookie seeds, which are
larger.
Wild oat seeds are similar to the
seed of the cultivated oat, but can be
distinguished by the cup-sbaped scar
at the base. This seed is either brown
or straw colored. Some seeds have
brownish hairs, and twisted avn
from near the middle is more or less
evident.
Darnel seeds are similar to those OF
rye-grass, but are larger and heavier.
The slender avn is often broken from
the apex Of the seed.
