LIVING MEMORIAL
OF HER DEAD SON
Philadelphia Woman Wants to Bring
Up Another Boy in Place of Her
Little Dead Babe.

One of the things that happen only
in books has happened in real life. A
lady who belongs to one of the first
families of Philadelphia and has am
pie means is hunting for a boy baby
6 or weeks of age to adopt for her
own. Although the lady refuses to
make her name public she is willing
to say that her own little boy died
about two years ago, and that in
stead of erecting fine monument or
endowing a professorship she intends
to bring up another boy in memory
of him.
The opportunity for the fortunate
youngster who is chosen as a living
memorial to the little dead son of his
foster mother is such a chance as
seldom occurs outside a fairy tale.
An American child is preferred, al
though a slight strain of Italian or
other foreign blood would not nee
essarily be a bar. The legitimacy of
the baby's birth is not insisted upon

REPRESENTATIVE YEOMANS
MAKES SENSATIONAL CHARGE

Georgia city, where the open viola
tion of the prohibition law is notori-
Gus.
Il am informed of similar offers
being made to rural route carriers in
various parts of the state.
1T affords me a great deal of sat
isfaction to state that in every in
stance, so far as l can learn, it was
contemptuously rejected.
The state of Georgia is being
flooded with liquor shipments not on
ly from liquor houses outside of the
state, but from liquor houses inside
the state that openly violate the law
and solicit mail orders.
THE state has the power under the
Webb-Kenyon act of congress to pro-
hibit these shipments from outside,
while the prohibition of shipments by
liquor houses inside the state involves
nothing more than the enforcement
of the prohibition law.
'The anti-shipping bill is extreme
ly important. 1t will come up in the
extra session, together with the 9TH
er prohibition bills, and should be
passed by all means. 1t is the bill
the farmers want passed, because
the shipment of whiskey is democrat
izing the farm labor of the state"

offered, it is said, a cool 100000 by
an automobile concern and a pension
of 5000 yearly during his life time
for suggestions on further improving
the machine. The offer was declined,
and Mr.. Pittman came to Florida to
work out a further perfection of the
motor.
1t is stated that it is built along

Governor Harris and Other Officers
Puzzled as to Where to Get Mon
ey to Pay the Soldiers.

ATLANTA.-Governor Harris and
Adjutant General Nash are now con-
sidering plans as to the best course
to pursue in the payment of debt
of some $1,000 due the Fifth regi-
ment for services to guard at the res
idence of former Governor Slaton
during the demonstrations following
his communication of L. M. Franks
sentence.
Governor Wants to Pay.
The governor is anxious that these
bills be settled at the earliest possible
moment, and one plan suggested is a
loan to the amount from one of the
Atlanta banks, this money, in the
event of such loan, to be paid back
by a special appropriation by the eX-
ira session of the general assembly.
Other suggestions have been the
payment of the bill out of the gem
eral military fund, or out of the
states contingent fund. The governor
has held conferences in this connec-
ton with Attorney General Clifford
Walker and State Tax Commissioner
Hart, both of whom have the matter
under consideration.
From whatever source the money
is obtained it will probably be REIN
bursed by special appropriation by
the extra session.

lied her as much for her noble quail
tiles and her good heart as for her
incompatible beauty"
And the almost idolatrous homage
that was hers in her native America
she won with equal ease when she
went to England in 1864, to turn the
soberest heads by her impersonation
of Mazeppa at Astley's amphitheatre.
Many hands, it is true, were held up
in shocked disapproval of such "a de-
grading if beautiful spectacle" but
the voices of censure were soon
drowned in a chorus of rapturous ap-
plause whose echoes were carried to
every part of England, and West
minister bridge was packed with the
crowds surging to catch a glimpse of
the most beautiful woman in the
world"
But to censure as to praise Adal
was equally indifferent, and she
would escape from the pIaudits of the
thousands who flocked to look on her
charms to feast over a supper or
the homage of Swinburne and Gau-
tier, to whom alone she revealed the
rich treasures of her mind and the
true nobility of her soul.
Her GlOries in the Dust.
But Adah's brilliant sun was now
drawing rapidly near to it's setting.
From London she went to Paris, to
find her most dazzling successes riv-
aled if not eclipsed. And it was in
the worlds gayest city at the zenith
of her queendom that the blow fell
which laid all her glories in the dust.
Attacked by consumption she fell
swiftly on evil days, for the gold she
had reaped she had lavished in a
boundless generosity ard charity, and
anen death came at last to close her
eyes in mercy one August day in 1868
her queendom had dwindled to an at
tic on the fifth floor of a lodging
house in a Paris slum.

you will find in the Jewish cemetery

MIXTURE FOR PASTURE
Variety of Seeds for Securing

Plan Outlined for Permanent Sod That,

Instead of seeding timothy alone.
the following mixture is suggested.
per acre: Timothy. ten pounds; red
clover. eight pounds; alsike, two
pounds; orchard grass, four pounds;
Italian rye grass, i've pounds; English
rye, four pounds; meadow fescue, four
pounds. Such mixture will give q
heavier hay crop and hay Of better
quality than timothy alone, and when
left as pasture win afford a much
greater quantity Of forage throughout
the growing season besides being ear
lier. Kentucky bluegrass will usually
come into the pasture of its own ac-
cord but can be FASTENED by seeding
about five pounds with the mixture
mentioned above. II the grasses mem
toned above are not available. then a
mixture of twelve pounds OF timothy,
eight pounds of common red clover.
four pounds of mammoth clover and
four pounds of alsike may be seeded.
The grasses should be seeded in the
fall with the winter grain and the

MAKING CREAM-COoLlNG BOX
Where Ice Is Not Available a Service
able Tank Can Be Arranged Be-
tween Pump and Trough.

(By J. L. LAMAfIs, Wisconsin Expert
ment Station.)
II Is desirable to remove the animal
heat from the milk as soon as possible
after II is drawn, and ice is usually
recommended. On the farm, however.
It IL often not practicable to store Ice,
but the same purpose can be served at
very little expense, by putting the
milk as soon as drawn into cooling
tank. Such a box placed between the
pump and the watering troughs so
that all the water passes through 1t,
win keep the cream or milk at low
temperature until ready for delivery.
A concrete box can be made on the
farm that will serve excellently for
this purpose. 1t should be provided
with cover, and shaded to keep the
water cool when the pump is not rum
ming. There are also several forms Of
wooden and galvanized metal tanks
for this purpose on the market. Some
OF these are now insulated and COW

vERMIN CAUSE HOG DISEASES
No Animal Can Grow and Prosper II
Pestered With lnseets--DIsIn-
feet Houses and Trouuhs.

It has been proved beyond question
Of doubt that lice on hogs cause chol.
era and other diseases, the parasites
being carriers OF disease germs. No
animals can grow and do well pes
tered with insects.
It is practical economy to disinfect
hogs, their houses. troughs and feed
ing grounds frequently. It is q means
of keeping the animals thrifty and Of
avoiding disease. Lime and coal tar
disinfectants should be used literally
and frequently wherever hogs stay or
eat. There would be more and health
fer hogs II farmers generally would
purchase and use more lime and COM
mon cheap dislnfectants for their
hogs. A barrel Of lime is cheaper and
better than a dead hog.
The best way we have found Of
treating hogs for lice Is to spray or
scrub them with kerosene or crude oil
every three or four weeks during the
year, says a writer in Farm Progress.
We use wooden candy pail, placing
in II couple of gallons of warm
water. about gallon Of kerosene and
about half cake OF strong laundry
soap. Soft soap is al good. or better.
The mixture is stirred and sprinkled
over the hogs with an old broom,
while they are eating good slop from
troughs. when they win stand quietly

EXCEL AS EGG LAYERS
Guinea Fowls Are Also Superior
as Insect DeStroyerS.
They Range Long Distances From
House During Day In Search OF
Food, But Come Near House to
Lay--Flesh Is Carney"
By A. J. LEGG. West virginia.

By A. J. LEGG. West Yirginia.)
Some people object to the noise
which guineas make and their wild
nature, but as summer egg-layers
guinea hens arc hard to beat.
We have three guinea hens and a
cock that have the range of the fields,
and they are the best insect destroy
ers that we have on the farm. They
have better reputation with US as
insect destroyers than the thieving
crow which some writer's commend
SO highly for the bugs and worms
they eat, and they also pay hand
some profit in eggs for any grain they
may eat.
The guinea hens | speak of lay an
egg each day, and they have been lay
ing for nearly three months. They
are likely to keep this up for two
months yet.
We have a brood of young guineas
that are growing nicely-they are
cross between the pearl and the white
guinea, and are growing better than
we ever got either full-blood to do.
l never liked the idea of crossing
breeds, but a cross seems to increase
the vitality Of the guinea.
Some have trouble finding the
guinea nests, but our guineas have
never gone far from the house to
make their nests. Sometimes they
lay in the hen nests in the poultry
house.
They range long distances from the
house during the day in search OF
food, but come near the house to lay.
Guineas are marketed at from six
to eight months old. Broilers weigh
ing about one pound are in great de-
mand, as their flesh is then tender and
somewhat "gamey." Old birds are
dry. tough and tasteless. They should
be marketed with the feathers on, the
same as game. The age of guinea
fowl can be told in the same way as

MAKING SPOILED HAY USEFUL
When Not Too Badly injured II Can
BE Sailed and Fed to stock-5y
No Means Burn II.

There win be much spoiled hay this
season because of the excessive rains
that have interfered with hay har.
vest. With some farmers 1t may be q
problem what to do with this spoiled
hay. BY all means do not burn 1t.
Where It is not so badly spoiled as
to be injurious to stock Il can be dried
well, sailed and fed. There is much
feeding value in II II stock can be In
duced to eat II. and what is not eaten
can be used as bedding and thus be
made into manure.
Rather than burn this hay scatter
It over the fields that are to be plowed
for corn next spring. In this way the
fertilizing value would not be lost.
