WISEACRES WERE ALL WRONG
Years at Those Who Opposed
Her Marriage.

October 26, 1854, there were united
in marriage pretty girl of twenty,
Abigail Smith, daughter of minis
ter, to John Adams, a young lawyer
without pactice, himself the son or
rather poor farmer. The lady's
friends were not enthusiastic over the
match, as the girls forefathers were
all Of literary or professional caste,
while the young lawyer could boast
Of no connection but with the soil.
The parishioners were OutspOken in
their disaprroval of the match, it be-
ing based largely on their suspicion Of
lawyers in general.
the fiery old minister-father of ABB
gail promptly took exception to the
remarks, and the very next Sunday
announced his text as 'For John came
neither eating bread nor drinking
wine, and We say he hath devil" The
minister's faith in his sOn-in-law
proved we'll given, for the unknown
and clientless lawyer became the Sec
ond President of the United States.

LOSS OF STOCK IN TRANSIT
Cruelty In Loading and Unloading AMI
mails Is Principal Cause of Much
Mortality.

Loss Of live stock in transit is one
of the great problems of the stock
growers of the country today. Cruel
ty in loading and unloading them is
partially to blame for the great loss,
but the cruelty Of neglect is a much
greater cause. The caretakers on the
trains usually spend their time back in
the cabooses and seldom If ever go
near the stock until it is time to I'M

Training the Birds.
1t Is necessary 10 keep the birds In
good condition with plenty OF outdoor
exercise, both in good ana bad wealth
er, If they are to have endurance for
long flights. The young birds are
usually Matched In February and
March. During the time when the eggs
are being incubated and the young
cared for, only one of pair is trained
each day. On alternate days the other
is shipped to the training station. In
this way the breeding Is not interfered
with, and the eggs or young are never
left without one or the other of the
old birds.
In the beginning of the training the
birds are conveyed in a basket not
more than six or eight blocks from
their lofts to an open spot away from
buildings. The basket is faced toward
the loft and the birds liberated at
once. At this distance pigeon spe-
cialists advise practicing them from
all points of the compass. The next
step is to select the route over which
1t is intended to fly the birds. From
half mile the distance can be in
creased to l mile, then 5, 10, so, 100,
and 800, until the longest distance has
been reached.
Fly In Clear Weather.
Clear weather should always be Sc
lected for the birds flights, for many
birds are lost during stormy period.
Then, too. good weather is especially
necessary for rapid flying.
1t is considered best not to be in
too great haste In having the birds fly
q long distance. The young birds need
the time to develop their faculties,
strengthen the muscles, educate the
sight, and cultivate the memory and
intelligence.
