Racket or Racuette,

When you use the racket in playing
tennis you do not stop to think what
it means and how difficult it has been
to trace the word Some thought that
it was so called because of the noise
made by the ball striking it. but this
is impossible. The real origin is from
the French raquette, the palm of the
hand, which was originally used In
the game before the racket was in
vented. It's all very simple when you
know.-Exchange

TIMELY POULTRY NOTES.

Broilers find a good market in May.
Such birds should weigh from pound
and a quarter to two pounds.
Egg prices have taken drop, and
this is an incentive to turn the eggs
into chickens, which will find a good
market later on.
The strong, vigorous April Matched
chicks grow like hardy weeds. A good
growth will better fit them to stand
the depressing effect hot June suns are
apt to give.
Be careful not to Overfeed, but see
that they are plentifully supplied with
nourishing food.
Give special attention to the sitting
hens. Have their nests so arranged
that they may go on and off at will.
Do not fuss with them, but keep a
watch on their supplies. Grain and
water should be constantly before
them. Whole corn is the best grain
for the broody hen. Grit, too, should
be handy so the hen can get it when
she wants it.
Look out for hidden nests. At this
season hens that are on range are very
apt to hide their nests.
housekeeping is still in order.
Sweep down the cobwebs and clean up
generally Thoroughly fumigate and
piow up the runs.
The first week in May green ducks
command their best prices.
Buying cows and selling them as
fast as they stop milking never built
up a high class dairy business. The
city milk producer is not a true dairy
man; he is more a Spectator in feeds
and COWS.
The strawy stalky manure makes an
ideal mulching fertilizer for both young
| and old apple trees. A great many are
! literally dying from starvation. This
coarse manure will conserve moisture
and fertility.
The usefulness and value of a horse
depend upon his early training. He
SHOULD be handled and taught when a
colt. This will develop his intelligence
from the start and very much increase
| his subsequent usefulness.
Now that the blowing is all done,
wipe off all dirt from wood and iron
work Give a good coating of oil to
the metal parts next spring, so there
will be no delay in getting the plows
| to scour.
When COWS are sailed only once a
week they eat too much at time and
it cause looseness of the bowels.
| They will eat little salt nearly every
day If it is kept where they can get
at 1t, especially when the grass is
fresh and abundant
County Agricultural Association Notes.
AS result of the farm survey recently
taken in Orleans county, the following
figures are given as an average of Y
farms which gave records, and also an
average of the ten best farms. If the
figures are carefully considered. three
things will stand out prominently.
First, the larger the business is, consid-
cred from point of capital invested,
tilable acres, labor employed, the
amount of live stock kept; it will be
seen the greater the opportunity for q
large income. Second, the diversity of
the business as measured by the mum.
Der of important sources of income will
show that the greater the number OF
sources the larger the income. By
labor income is meant the amount of
money left after all expenses are paid
and five per cent allowed for interest
on the capital.

than 10000 population twenty-five
were in the section that had been lost
by the United States. The assessed
valuation Of those cities alone was
more than 81, roc, 100000 Ten thousand
manufacturing establishments were in
the grip of the conqueror.
All the springs Of creative work
were broken. Shops and Inanufacto-
ries were open under orders from the
military commanders, but the owners
and managers did not know what
to do. In the banks and trust COM
panies' offices everywhere there were
posted placards reading as follows:

carries with 1t absolute ownership Of
property conquered from the enemy state,
including debts as well as personal or real
property.

Retreatins Through a City Is Disas-
trous to an Army.
If you suffer defeat in front of a
great town and have to retreat through
it under the blows of the victorious
enemy you are in the worst possible
position for conducting that retreat
The streets of the town (but few of
which will run parallel to your course
and can, therefore, serve as avenues
of escape for your army are so many
defiles in which your columns will get
hopeiessly congested. The operation
may be compared to the pouring OF
too much liquid into a funnel which
has too small an oritice. Masses of
your transport will remain clogged out
side the place. You will run the risk
OF partial and perhaps of Il complete
disaster as the enemy presses on.
There is very much more than this.
A great town cannot but contain, If
you have long occupied it. the material
of your organization. You will proba-
bly, abandon documents which the
enemy should not see. You will cer-
tainly, in the pressure of such a flight,
lose accumulated stores. Again. the
transverse streets are so many points
of leakage" into which your congest-
ed columns will bulge out and get con-
fused. Again. you will be almost nee
essarily dealing with the complications
of mass of civilian conditions which
should never be allowed to interrupt a
military operation.
In general, to fight in front of a
great town when the chances are
against you is as great an error as to
fight in front of a marsh with few
causeways. SO far as mere topogra-
ply is concerned, it is a greater error
still.-From THE Elements of the
Great War;" by Hilaire Belloc.

GREAT UNION PLANNED.

Workers on Railroads.


Workers on Railroads.
The movement of New England rail
road engineers and firemen to gather
all the union men into a powerful la
bor organization to be known as the
Industrial Labor union may be extend
ed throughout the country. Labor
leaders ars discussing the agitation for
the cooperation of all the railroad
workers of the country within the con-
fines Of one organization.
Not only was the announcement of
the New England plan received favor
ably, but officials of railroad unions re
ferred to a speech made by union
leader In Denver recently wherein
were outlined the plans for uniting all
Of the divisions of the unions of the
western railroads.
George f. Sines, vice president of
the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen,
said the suggestion for federated ac-
ton on the part of the railroad unions
is being spread broadcast He said
the idea of federated action has been
proved successful-that is, all the diff
ferent unions of railroad workmen in
one locality have united on one gen
eral proposition and invariably have
been able to put through their plan to
a triumphant conclusion
The demand for cooperation of all
the unions in the west is reported by
labor leaders to be more emphatic
than in the east. The western lead
ers are quoted as eriticising the awards
made to the workers by the various
arbitration boards.
Because of this widespread dissatis.
faction the scheme of federation
among the different unions is said tc
be gaining daily in favor In the west
and there seems to be little doubt that
the amalgamation of the east and the
western groups will be effected easily

cotton, silk or wool. need less care than
cheap ones. How often does one COM

been paid Yet, most frequently, what
has worn out the fabric has not been
actual use, but the neglect it has suf-
fered.
One of the principal differences be-
tween good and cheap materials Is that
the better grades are fi.oer spun. This
may mean that the fabric is stronger
and, in proportion to the uses to which
it is put, may wear longer, but it also
means that each tiny thread by itself is
weaker and more apt to injury. Any

No matter how careful one may try
to be, clothes that one wears gradually
get tride of the grease from the per-
spiration of the body. In spite of con-
slant watching clothes will become
dusty. This combination OF dust and
body moisture forms a regular breeding
ground for tiny little vegetable growths.
These are so small that it takes the
most powerful microscope even to see
them.
In themselves these bacteria do but
little harm, but many of them set free

SCOTLAND LlGHTSHIP.
Origin of tho Name of the Famous
Beacon Off Sandy Hook.

Scotland lightship is so called be-
Of the ship Scotland. According TO an
entry in the records of the United
States coast guard at Washington. she
was British steamship of Liverpool,
bound from Liverpool to New York.
With cargo of merchandise, she
stranded near Sandy Hook on Dec. 2,
1866, and was total loss. The acting
commissioner of the bureau of light
houses supplies this excerpt from the
records of the bureau:
Under authority of the joint resolu-
ton of congress approved March 2.
1868, light vessel was moored on
April Is. 1868. to mark temporarily
the obstruction to navigation caused
by the wreck Of the steamship Scot
land. The work of removing this
wreck was completed in 1870, and the
lighthouse board decided that it had
no authority for retaining the light ves-
sci at that point any longer without
further congressional authority. This
authority was given by an act of con
gress approved June 23. 1874. and light
vessel No 23 was accordingly placed
on the station on Sept. 10. 1874, being
relieved by light vessel No, 90 on Dec
|, 1875. Light vessel No. 90 was con-
tinued on the station until 1880. when
light vessel No. I took her place Light
vessel No. was relieved on Dec. 2,
1902. by light vessel No II, which is
still the regular station ship at this
location.
while the wreck of the steamship
Scotland was an obstruction to naviga-
ton. the light vessel maintained to
mark her. position was known as the
Wreck of Scotland light vessel. After
the wreck had disappeared and anoth-
er light vessel was placed there by an
act of congress. not to mark the oh
struction. but as an aid to navigators
desiring to enter the port of New York.
the light vessel was known as the
Scotland light vessel, which name is
still retained. New York Sun.

that the defendant employed young
men and boys 1t is but natural to ex-
pect them to deport themselves as
young men and boys replete with life
and health. For workmen of that age,
or even of maturer years. to indulge
in a moments diversion from work to

low workman is q matter of common
knowledge to every one who employs
labor. At any rate, it cannot be said
that the attack made upon the de-
