Marie Cavan was born in tene-
ment on the East Side of New
York city.
Marie's first utterance was a
not unmusical wall. A Neapoli-
tans hurdy gurdy was wheeling
in the street seven stories below,
and his simian partner in discord
was climbing the fire escape in
quest of pennies.
Marie's wall, so goes the story,
was timed to coincide with the
last despairing gasp of the hurdy
gurdy as it finished the chorus of
Down Went McGinty!" And Ma
rie's proud and happy father de-
clared, with a twinkle in his eye,
that he distinctly heard the new
born utter the last line of the
verse:
Dressed in his best suit of
clothes!"
Be that as it may, If any one
had suggested to Marie's father,
mother, sisters and brothers that
she would one day be great
prima donna, they would have
greeted the suggestions with loud
outlaws of mirthful unbelief.
AT an early age" records the
official biographer, Miss Cavan
entered upon a business career"
That's the biographer's way of
saying that she got a job in a
brokers' office as a stenog. Her
pay was IS a week, and she car
ried her lunch in phoney music
roll.
Up to this point the story is
commonplace.
Then came the turning point.
She visited the opera for the
first time in her life.

MAYOR REPLIES
TO THE WOMEN

Replying to the Woman's club,
which asked that the street car in

the job as useless expenditure
of money, Mayor Seymour told
the women they ought to investi-

and then give the accused a
chance to defend himself.

ONE TREATMENT FOR HEAVEs
Disease Is IneurabIe, but May Be
PaIliated by Feeding Easily Di-
qested Nutritive Food.

By DR.. J. II. STANDISH, Nova Scotia
Department Of Agricultural
Repeated gorging of the stomach
with food or water, and often both,
is the cause of heaves. The symp-
toms are deep breathing, evidenced
by the expanding nostrils and double
lifting of the TANKS, both of which
are increased if the animal Is forced
up a grade at a fast trot or gallop
when the stomach is distended with
food or water; generally, also, hack
ing cough, mostly in the morning.
The disease Is incurable, but may
be palliated by feeding easily digested
nutritive food in small quantities. Give
such food as early cut, we'll cured,
clean timothy hay, preferably damp
ened with weak lime water, oats,
wheat bran, fax seed ground and In
winter roots, carrots, turnips, mangels
or sugar beets; the oats to be boiled
twice a week. Give four drains Of
ginger and two drains of baking soda
in the food at night, or oil of tar in
dessert spoonful doses. In some
cases, better results are secured by
alternating these daily or weekly, and
In some cases are benefited by four to
ten grain doses of white arsenic once
a day. But care in feeding and water
ing is necessary in any treatment Dat

FOWLS NEED SOME EXERCISE
When Confined Too Closely Birds
Are Constantly Trying to Secure
Liberty, Making Poor Returns.

IL fowls are too closely confined.
they will constantly be striving to get
at liberty they will try to fly over
the highest fences, and In every way
show how well they love the range
of field and pasture. Such uneasiness
and anxiety to get out initiate against
their good health, and a hen that IL
not in good health will not lay eggs,
says the New York Farmer. They
should, therefore, have all the space
that may be allowed them, and this
may not be furnished at all, then how
much more important 1t is that one
does not keep too many fswls con-
fined within the limit of the poultry
house exclusively.
However we'll the poultryman may
feed and tend them, when thus re-
stricted, IL there be an excess OF num-
bers crowded together, the hens will
cease to lay. they will get i'll, they
will lose their flesh, become miser-
able in a short time, and In no case
can they be made to give good returns
when thus restricted In their quar-
tiers. IL you had no room for the hens
to exercise in, you would better get
rid OF them.

RI OWING IS HARD ON HORSES
Few Teams That Are Not Doing Ten
70 Thirty Per Cent Of Unneces-
gary Work In Fields.
CBy z. W. HAMILTON.)

Flowing is at best the hardest work
our farm horses have to perform. Few
pillow teams are not doing 10 TO 80 per
cent Of unnecessary work. The writ
er has seen plows which he believed
were pulling so per cent harder than
they should
We are told that about so per cent
of the draft OF pillow Is due to the
cutting Of the furrow slice. The con-
dition OF the cutting edge must then
be OF first importance. Expert plow-
men recognize this and In competi-
tons file their shares to knife edges.
One authority claims that an old
share resharpened has shown &c per
cent heavier draft than a new share.
Again, engine plows of the same make
and size have under the same condi-
tons showed 45 per cent difference in
draft in favor of the new freshly filed
shares over resharpened shares in or
binary condition. 1t will certainly pay
to keep the pillow shares sharp and In
proper form.
The set and adjustment Of a plow
fs almost as much to do with the
draft as condition of the share. A
riding plow with rear furrow wheel
should pull little or no harder than
walking pillow or 2lows OF the same
widths Yet how many do it? About
30 per cent Of the draft of walking
plow is due to the friction of the pillow
on the bottom and side of the fur
row. In the riding pillow this friction
Is eliminated by carrying the weight
and down and side pressure of plow
bottom on wheels. To accomplish this
the rear furrow wheel is set out about
an inch and a quarter so that land
side cannot touch the side furrow
The wheel is also set down so the
heel Of Landslide is raised one half to
three-fourths inches off bottom of fur
row. When SO set the pillow bottom
will sink into the ground and hang
there. When plow bottoms float" in
the frame none of the bottom and
side pressure is removed and the draft
of the bottoms is the same as that Of
the walking plows to which must be
added that due to weight of pillow
frame and driver.

MARGIN OF PROFIT AND LOSS
II Hens Do Not Fall Below Average
of so or 60 Per Cent: in Laying
They Are Money Makers.

A flock of hens should be made to
pay a good dividend on the invest
ment If they do not do this, there is
something radically wrong somewhere
along the line.
If you have kept a record of the
cost of production and the sales you
will be able to tell whether or not
your hens are paying. Hens that are
laying an average or so or so per
cent. are doing we'll, and will make
a good showing in the right side of
the cash book. Amy averages above
that will be so much more gain, and
will more than justify keeping the
birds
If they fall way below this mark
you had better investigate and find
out the cause Of the trouble.
1t may be that you have poor strain
of birds; that you are not feeding the
right kinds of food or in sufficient
quantities, or that you are not giving
them the proper attention that they
must have in order to be great pro
ducers.

DEHORNING is NOT PAINFUL

Dehorning is not the painful opera

the animal less pain.
1t has the further advantage that
the close confinement OF the animal
necessary for the operation of the
saw is not needed in the use OF the
clipper. II is used successfully with
out 4 dehorning chute.
The animal is tied TO a tree with a
rope. passed around the neck. A ring
win n rope attached is placed in the
nos and pulled in the direction oppo-
site he tree. This throws the head
in rCeition for dehorning.
Ia" horn is more often cut too high
cut the horn too close, and the horn
cuts easier low The wound also heals
quicker and the head is given a nicer
shape. A ring of skin should be TAX

It is a good plan to grease the clip
ners with grease that is mixed with
some disinfectant, such as creoline.
The best clipper on the market has
v-shaped notches In the blades. II
clips the horn off easily, without
crushing. The knife with straight
edges tends to crush the horn and 10
harder to operate.
