Leak at the reunion of the Chapman ushers, is worth retelling ys the Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. The doctor dwelt on the union spirit manifested at the meetings, and said that people could together when they were in good spirits. It made him think of a young couple about to get married. The evening before the wedding, as they were talking over the affair, Mary said: “John, there’s something I think I shall tell you, which I have never told you.” “Very well,” said John, “if you went to. But I don’t care. me. Tell me, if you want to.” “Well,” said ry, bulist.” “On, that’s no difference,” said Jehn. “I’m a Presbyterian. We can unite and join the Methodi: War with Spain. As war with Spain has broken out the officials seem to think that all that will be needed is warships, tor- pedo boats and other instruments of destruction. But really what will be needed more than anything~else is a good supply of “5 DROPS” (manufac- tured by the Swanson Rheumatic Cure Co., 167 Dearborn street, Chicago II1.), to knock out the Rheumatism which is sure to grip our soldiers and sailors in the miasmatic climate of Cuba and the surrounding islands, where the war will be waged. The truth is that something to heal and cure is precise- ly what is needed right now in the desolated “Queen of the Antilles.” Those 200,000 reconcentrados reported sick and dying by hundreds need pro- visions, it is true, but they need good medicines fully as much. If Miss Bar- ton, the good lady who has charge of the Red Cross relief work, was sup- plied with “5 DROPS” she could, by their agency, save many a sick Cu- ban. These miraculous “5 DROPS” conquer many of the worst diseases that afflict ailing humanity, such as Rheumatism, Neuralgia, the excruciat- ing Sciatica and the other diseases for which it is recommended. The War Department should see that there is an abundant supply of “5 DROPS” in the medicine chests. Hitting the Nail on the Head. Pussie—W is meant by kleptoma- nia, Herbie?

INTERESTING CHAPTERS FOR OUR RURAL READERS. How Successfal Farmers Operate This Department of the Farm—A Few Hints as to the Care of Live Stock and Poultry. The Egg Trade. The New York Sun, in an article on the general egg trade, says that the trade in eggs, their exportation from one country to another, has become a large item of international commerce, as some recent figures show. The case of Denmark is in point. Denmark’s trade in eggs with foreign countries, chiefly with England and Scotland, has grown enormously. Twenty years ago the annual Danish export of eggs was 600,000; now it is reckoned at 110,000,- 000. In the same period the importa- tion of eggs into England has increased tenfold, but only a part of the whole number come from Denmark, the two other egg exporting countries from which England draws its supplies be- ing Holland and France, France ex- ports to other countries 600,000,000 eggs in a year, and Italy exports 500,- 000,000 eggs in a year, chiefly to Aus- tria and Germany. The poultrymen of the United States depend chiefly on the enormous home market, and they have rivals in the export of American eggs in the Canadians, Canada ranking next to France and Italy and ahead of Den- mark and Holland as an egg-exporting country. Canada exports to other countries 300,000,000 eggs in a year. For the fiscal year of 1895 the treasury figures give the total exports of Amer- ican eggs to foreign countries at 151,000 dozen, which is equivalent to 1,812,000 eggs. In the fiscal year 1896, however, the total exportation of American eggs increased to 328,000 dozen, or 3,936,000 eggs, a little more than twice as much. The export figures for this year indi- cate a still further increase, and a market for American eggs is likely, therefore, to be secured in what the political campaign orators are accus- tomed to call, somewhat vaguely, the hear future. It is a somewhat curious fact that the weight of eggs is mate- tially larger in northern than in south- ern climates. Canadian eggs, for in- stance, are heavier than those shipped from the United States, and eggs in the northern states of this country are heavier than those from the south. Old Irish Eggs.—And now Ireland has another grievance against Eng- land, and all because of the eggs which the former has been sending to the lat- ter country. The English dealers claim that the eggs are more ancient than honorable, and have held a meeting to express their views. The fault is not with the hens, but with the owners, who, loath to part with the eggs, keep them so long that they are fit only for campaign purposes. The result is that dealers are buying Canadian and con- tinental eggs, and the Irish farmers are to be instructed by circular that they must mend their ways or keep their eggs. Here’s another opening for the American business hen.—Rural New Yorker. Shipping Cattle. Grass cattle, as a rule, do not ship well. On the pasture they look well, and many a buyer has been deceived py the appearance of a drove of steers in a grass field with full bite. To ship such cattle is a hard task, and it is in- variably disappointing, but it has to be done. Where convenient, it is a good plan to place such cattle in a pen and feed them hay for a day or two. The secret of shipping all classes of cattle is to place them on the cars full of feed, but with as little moisture as possible, If you ship a steer full of water he is apt to have loose bowels and show up in the yards badly. Properly handled cattle should arrive in the sale pens dry behind and ready for a good fill of water; not over-thirsty, but in good condition to water freely. Many of our shippers think that by salting their cat- tle, or by feeding them oats, or by other scheming, they can fool. the buyers. This is nonsense. The buyers are just as sharp as the owners, and while many of them say nothing, you"often see them ride into a pen and out again without the courtesy of a bid on this account. Dozens of times we have seen this happen. It always acts against the shipper to use unnatural means. To eastern buyers it is a matter of great importance that cattle should be in good condition when purchased, so as to stand further shipment. When cat- tle drink too freely they are apt to founder and break down. In this con- dition the dressed-beef man can use them, but it stops competition, and as a natural consequence cattle often go below their value when in this condi- tion. The same rule. applies to grain-fed cattle, whether in pasture or dry ict, as to the above. Only they are much more easily handled in shipment, and do not show much distress in their changed circumstances, As to feed on the road, nothing equals good, sweet hay. It beats corn or other grains, be- cause it is easily digested and does not fever the animal. Simple methods and simple feed are the best that can be used. As to water on the road, it is a matter to be decided on according to the weather. In midsummer care must be taken to supply animal wants, whereas, in winter a steer can go for many hours without a drink. Good management in this line also calls for the arrival of stock at the yards in proper time. From 5 to § a. m. is the best time in the day to appear upon the scene—the nearer the latter hour the better—for cattle especially always look better when they are taken off the cars and have just been fed and wa- tered. Then they have a bioom upon them which wears off very quickly, Many feeders would be saved both disappointment and loss if before send- ing in cattle to market they would no- tify their commission house what and when they are going to ship. Then, it the commission merchant thinks the stock would be benefited by longer feeding, or that the prospect is un- favorable for the time the feeder ex- pected to have his cattle in, he can so advise his client, and thus save him from sacrificing his stock or getting in at a wrong time. Especially is this important in November or tha begin- ning of winter, when we are getting half-fat cattle that ought to have been held back 30 to 60 days longer at least. No doubt many of these look all right in the feed lot and appear to have good finish, but not having matured or ripened, they practically “go to pieces” on the cars, and in addition to loss through heavy shrinkage, the owner has to accept a low price on the mar- ket. We wish every stockman would follow out this plan of giving notice a day or so ahead of the time he expects to ship. It works both to the advan- tage of the shipper and seller. The lat- ter, being on the market every day, knows just what the market wants, and can judge pretty closely of near prospects. He is thus able to give his client the necessary advice and in- formation he should have before he sends in his stock. The Cow Stable. Now that warm weather has again come, the cow stables may receive at- tention, and be prepared more effec- tively for future occupancy. New sta- bles will be built by many farmers, and in such cases care should be taken to consider all things in the plans. The old ideas of what a cow stable should be are now being regarded with suspi- cion. The old style cow stable was neither light nor cleanly. One of the popular methods was and is to have it in the barn, running along one side of the barn. Above the stalls was piled fifteen feet of solid hay, and opposite Was a mow of hay reaching from the ground upward for twenty-five or, thir- ty feet. This shut off all possibility of light on the two sides. Usually the only light possible was at the end of the barn, over the great doors, and the window consisted of a single transom a foot high and seven feet long, more or less. In light days when the sun was shining a twilight reigned in the barn, but on dark days the cattle were shut in in a gloomy prison. When work was to be done the doors had to be opened to give sufficient light. Such was the cow stable of the past, and such is largely the cow stable of today. It is built on the general pur- pose principle. It was handy, there is no doubt about that. Hay, cow and manure were all together in close prox- imity, and if the cow kicked the milker there was a general mix-up. The cow’s stable of the future will be a very dif- ferent affair. In the first place there will be light. The stable should not be so built that all possibilities of Light must be set aside on account of vast packs of hay. It is better to so build that the stable will have sunlight on at least two sides. Many are now be- ing so constructed that the cows prac- tically stand in a house of their own connected at one end with the barn, where are their food supplies. This gives room for light in abundance, and with light comes dryness to the floors and standing places of the cows. It is true that such a building will not be so warm naturally as a box barn packed with hay, but it can be made warm enough at smal] expense, and it is much healthier. Health and clean- liness are the principal things for which we must look out, and many other con- siderations can be sacrificed to these. Sheep in Kansas. At a Kansas agricultural convention reported for The Farmers’ Review H. M. Kirkpatrick talked on how and why Kansas should raise sheep. In the eastern part of Kansas blue grass has obtained a firm foothold and gives a good pasture to sheep and other ani- mals. In the western part of the state the grass is shorter and is large- ly buffalo grass. Experience in raising sheep is probably more valuable than in most any other kind of stock rais- ing, for the experience obtained in the raising of other animals is not of much value in teaching how to keep sheep. I have never known a man that made a success of sheep raising abandon the business. The most important thing in sheep breeding is the location; breeding even is a lesser considera- tion. Sheep will not lie down in mud, and if your barn is not clean and dry they will not lie down in it, but will sooner seek a snow-covered knoll. Con- fining them to enclosures is less diffi- cult than many suppose. I never knew one of them to jump a barbed wire fence. A sheep that has not been taught to creep will be easily stopped by a fence of four stands of barbed wire. If they have learned the trick they will creep through the wires, as their fleece is a protection against the barbs. It is true that sheep are great scavengers, but they will not make a profit if they are forced to live on weeds and briars. Give them good grass and they will also eat more weeds. It has been said that a sheep can be kept as cheap as a hen, if the hen be kept as she should be. The violators of the oleomargarine law claim that they are much interest- ed in having the public sold a cheap substitute for butter, but they do not hesitate to take as high prices as they ean get for their butterine, selling it often at the price of butter and under the name of butter. It is unjust for the patrons of a cheese factory to demand that the cheesemaker produce a pound of cheese for every ten pounds of milk delivered to him, #& CHEERFUL WOMAN.

To-day she is in good health and able to attend to her household ena She relates her experience as fol- lows: “I was afflicted with female troubles and was in a delicate state of health. Ilostmy appetite, grew thin and was greatly de- pressed. After taking various remedies without being benefited I was induced by a friend to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, “Early in the summer of 1897 I pro-~ cured five boxes of them and before finishing the second box Iz. began to im- rove and by “3% Hetimel had | 74 taken thefive boxes I was able to go bout m 2 ee ils A Priceless Boon. and stopped taking the pills. “Our daughter Anna, twelve years old, wasalso afflicted with decline and debility.
