Steamer Orduna Uses the Stars
and Stripes While 1t isin
the Irish Sea.

NEW YORK, Feb. i0.-Passen-
gers on the Cunard line British
steamer. Ord,ma. which arrived
here today from England. said that
the steamer flew the American flag
for nearly twenty-four hours on Jan
uary IL. while passing the Irish sea.
The, Stars and Stripes. they said,
were hoisted on Sunday about an
hour after the steamer left Liver
pool and not hauled down until ear
ly Monday morning.
The Orduna was scheduled to sail
from Liverpool on Saturday, Janu-
airy 80. hut did not depart; until
1880 o'clock the next morning. Pas
sengers heard that the reason for
the delay was that German subma-
rine was lowering in the vicinity.
The American flag was raised, they
said. shortly after the Orduna clear
ed the Mersey. The steamer touch
ed at Queenstown the same day and
was flying the Stars and Stripes when
she entered and left the harbor. they
said. The explanation which the
passengers said they received from
some of the Orduna's under officers
was IUdL Lllt. AluGElCd.t nag ndN ueSAA
raised for the purpose OF protecting
the American citizens among the $40
passengers.
Charles p. Sumner, general agent
of the line in this city, denied today
that the Orduna had flown the. Ameri-
can flag except at ner foremost,
which he explained is customary, on
all ships to indicate the country to
which they are bound. Many passen-
gers on the orduna insisted, however
that the flag was flying aft indicating
the nationality of the vessel. AT nc
time was the American flag raised
at the stern OF the orduna," said Mr.
Sumner. 1.-THE American flag was
raised to the foremast head upon leav-
ing Liverpool to indicate that the Or
duna was sailing for an American
port with American passengers and
american mail. The American fiae
remained CT the foremost head until
after the Orduna left Queenstown ant
all the way across the ocean until
she arrived here.

fed Postmaster Buckley. of the Of
fee at McNeill. Hampsrs;:.:-e -ennty,
that he will be required to stand
good for the-loss sustained through
the recent robbery of the postoffce

EXCELLENT HINTS ON HORSES
Intelligent Management Is Essential
Point-oon't Sacrifice Quality to
Size-Tlme for Water.

The essential point in using pure
bred draft mares on the farm is intel
ligent management.
The last 200 pounds we can put on
young draft horse is the most profit.
able 200 pounds of meat we can pro.
duce on the farm.
No drawing card holds out quite
such strong Inducements to good hired
men as the farm that maintains high.
class work horses.
1t is a great mistake to sacrifice
quality to size.
A horse is worth just what he can
endure for his owner.
Many farm horses get more hay
than is good for them. 1t is a Door
plan to keep their feed racks or
manger full of hay all the time.
A horse watered the last thing at

Make him the center of things occa
sionally instead of yourself. Get
into the habit of seeing a few things
from his point of view. ~ you
value the best things for which men
were made, do not make all life a
competition and all humanity field
for your exploitation. OF course, you
can get ahead Of the other fellow II
you try hard enough, and act meanly
enough, but the net result of it all is
bound to be terribly disappointing
The money in your pocket that ought
justly to be in his may not burn a
hole and get out, but 1t may do some.
thing very much worse than that; 1t
may burn and scar and scorch your

it is very much more important from

,caY OF THE HIppopoTAMus
,rsIcls Has a Distinct Value That 10
6eeoeniEed IN the commerce
Of the World.

One Of the curiosities of African
trade Is the ivory of the hippopota-
mus. The animals teeth are of a
greater hardness than those of the
Elephant, and for a long time were
employed in the manufacture Of false
teeth, which were skillfulIy carved
from that material In his "African
Travels" lie valiant quantity re-
marked, more than a century ago:
at is not surprising that Europeans
especially Frenchmen, should make
an article of commerce out of the
teeth of the hippopotamus, for with
the help of science they are made to
replace our own. and we may see
them flashing delightfully."- in the
mouth of pretty woman
Science has, however, found a bet
ter substitute in this relation, and
the trade in hippopotamus teeth for
this purpose has fallen off. The
making of "sjamboks," or whips,
from the hide is still a flourishing
industry, and during the Boer war
an enterprising genius sold many
strips of the thick hide at shilling
apiece to trainload of Canadian re-
cruits by calling the stuff ''biltong,"
or sun-dried beef. The teeth of the
walrus more nearly resemble ele-
plant ivory and are in good demand
in Japan for small carvings, and fos-
sill ivory has long been used in China.

WRONG PRACTICE WITH SOWS
First Pure-Bred Sow Is Usually Put
In Pen by Herself, Petted and
Generously Overfed.

1t seems almost natural for the pur
chaser of his first pure-bred SOW, in
his desire to give her extra care, to
overfeed her, to keep her away from
the other hogs, put her in a close
pen. where she is petted and fed at
regular meal times, and lunch be-
tween in some instances, in their
anxiety to do the very best for her
possible.
This method of treatment is sure to
ruin the SOW, both in the feeding and
la the close confinement, preventing
her from taking the necessary exer-
else, so needful to the proper strength
ening and building up on a solid
foundation and to harden her in de-
veloping her, giving her a good con-
stitution, broadening her and
strengthening her with the exercise,
which is also impaired to her coming
litter.
The parlor SOW, with her pettings
and care, is nearly always a failure,
and the party is wondering why 1t is,
writes William Carruthers in Orchard
and Farm. 1t is the wrong method
throughout. 1t is unnatural and al
most certain to result in failure of
the SOW.
Feeding when properly done, COM
bined with exercise, is the proper
idea. Feeding OF the right character
is essential; it needs to be regular.
at uniform times, and with plenty of
water and proper exercise, is the power
that is depended upon to develop and
improve the breed The feeder is an
important man in the destiny of the
hog and should understand the bust
ness and act according to reason and
the experience that is taught from
those who have made a success of it
