PEOPLE OF THE DAY

Colorado’s Adjutant General. Adjutant General Sherman M. Bell, wfco has been brought Into prominence because of the prolonged miners' strike In Colorado, Is in charge of the state militia in the Telluride district, where martial law is in force. Since the beginning of the strike last fall there have been numerous clashes between the civil and military forces

of the district, and on one occasion General Bell ignored an order of the supreme court. As a result of the recent killing of a number of nonunion miners General Bell has resumed activity in the field, and a number of union miners have been deported. The strike has already cost many millions of dollars and more than a score of lives. A DoabtM Compliment. Poultney Bigelow, who has accepted the chair of foreign relations at Boston university, had completed an address before the Twentieth Century club of Chicago. A young man congratulated Mr. Bigelow rather awkwardly on this address, and the learned traveler replied: “That is a doubtful compliment It reminds me of a remark that a friend of the groom’s made at a New Hampshire wedding. “This friend, an observant chap, watched the groom closely during the ceremony and at the end bore down on the happy man, shook him warmly by the band and said: “ ‘Bill, ye done good. I bad an idee ye would be skittish while ye wus bein' tied up, but begosh, ye looked as bold as a sheep!’ ’’—Washington Post

Got quay's Opinion. A youug Philadelphia lawyer eager to shine in party councils once consulted the late Sena'tor Quay as to ways and menus, says the New York Times. “I’ve been in politics over a year.” he said, “and I find it rather a difficult problem. I can’t say I’m getting on very rapidly, aud I’m fast losing my individuality. That isn't a very good sign, is it?” “Well,” answered the senator in a droll, quiet way, “I should say it was the best thing that could happen—to you.” He Got the Watch. A London city missionary who worked in the slums of a certain district and was well known to the thieves that swarmed there began his service one day with the words, ”1 think I know you stole Mr. 's gold watch yesterday, and I shall be glad if you will send it back to me before noon tomorrow.” He made no threat and indeed spoke very genially. The next day he received eight gold watches! Russia’s Flihtlsg Admiral. Vice Admiral Skrydloff, who commands the czar’s naval forces in the far east, seems to be making good use of the Vladivostok squadron. The recent sinking of the Japanese transports Hitachi and Sado in the strait of KoreA shows that he is an enemy to be reckoned With and with his three

splendid armored cruisers may seriously Interfere with the Japanese line of communication. Vice Admiral Skrydloff is one of'the most popular officers of the Russian navy and long ago won a reputation for bravery. For distinguished services in the Turkish war he received the

cross of St. George. Since then he lias seen much service, and his determination and pertinacity as a fighter have made him known throughout the service ns the “bulldog of the navy.” He reached the rank of vice admiral in 1900 and before his present assignment was in command of the Black sea fleet. Dale Gear. Dale Gear is certainly an “in and out” pitcher. He is prone to the most surprising reversals of form. Some time ago he pitched a game In which the opposing side made twenty hits in five Innings, while not long afterward he held the Milwaukee sluggers down to five hits in ten innings. The Foul Strike Rule. Tim Murnane says the foul strike rale is destined to kill off the popularity of league ball, as it is becoming too hard for the batters to hit the best pitchers. He cites the fact that the Boston Americans are easily in first place with only one batter on the team hitting over .300. Baseball la Cacertala. The uncertainty of baseball Is demonstrated in the showing of the Columbus (O.) team. None but the Senators’ most ardent admirers conceded them a chance for the pennant, but soon they forged to the head of the league by a very respectable margin. Clos* Ball Games. It is probable that the St. Louis team of the National league has played more close games than any team in the league. Few of its games have been won or lost by margins of more than two runs.

ONE MORE UNFORTUNATE

Who Didn’t Intend to Steal, bat Was Stealing for Years from Hla Father’s Bank. Aurora, 111., July 1. —When the doors of the German-American National bank were opened a large number of depositors was on hand ready to withdraw deposits, following the announcement of the defalcation of Cashier J. H. Plain. The bank was well provided with money however, and showed no hesitancy in paying depositors in full. The other banks in the city rallied to the assistance of their associate and plenty of money was placed on the counters. Not long after the opening there was a change in the other direction and many who had withdrawn their money deposited it again. Cashier Plain, like so many of his kind, “intended” to put back what he stole, but his speculative deals went wrong until it is said the bank is out about (90,000. His father, who is president of the bank, has made up (.‘>o,ooo of the loss and more of it will be made up. It is said that young Plain will be saved from prosecution and imprisonment, because the Aurora people have no desire to see him punished for his crime.

HINTS FOR FARMERS

Crlbblag Horses. The cause of this habit la in the majority of cases due to indigestion or bad teeth, so when the horse has the habit it should be turned over to a veterinary surgeon to have its teeth put In order. If this does not break up the habit, then treat the animal for Indigestion. f »Give the animal a dose consisting of a mixture of two ounces of turpentine and one pint of raw linseed oil and repeat in a week. See that the animal has plenty of exercise and keep a lump of rock salt In its manger all the time. For awhile let the ration consist of bran and cornmeal night and morning, with cut hay as roughage. At noon let the ration be of whole oats, with a small allowance of hay. Under this treatment the animal will show a marked improvement In a short time, and if It is persisted in the treatment will probably break up the habit of cribbing.—Breeder and Sportsman. A Berkshire Host. Breeding Berkshlres has been a hobby with me for twenty-five years, says a New York correspondent of Amer-' lean Agriculturist. About six years ago 1 started a herd of large English Berkshlres. I have had pigs at five months and five days old dress 169 pounds each. I like them better than any other breed I have ever handled. They fatten easily for market In the spring I ring my hogs and turn them In my orchard, where they pasture to good advantage. Pigs are weaned when they are about six weeks old. I feed milk and middlings to young pigs, but my breeding sows get bran and water. I feed beets with a little corn twice a day In winter. At farrowing time I separate them nntll after the pigs are weaned. Pssitrr In Demand. There has been an unusual amount of inquiry of late as to the possibilities of the poultry business being overdone. Surely the past season should satisfy every one that for many years to come there will not be an excess of poultry or poultry products of any kind. Chickens, turkeys, ducks and geese as market poultry have all sold higher the past year than ever before. Even at this time they are very high in the markets, the supply of turkeys said to be exhausted through the entire country aud the storage houses empty. In the face of these conditions one would scarcely imagine that for many years at least there would be an excess of these products.—Feather. Cottonseed Meal. A large number of cattle, sheep and hogs are kept at the Agricultural and Mechanical college of Texas on which experiments are made to determine the relative value of foodstuffs in producing fat. Recently it has been determined that cottonseed meal is unsuited for feeding cattle that are at the same time eating for roughness alfalfa and peanut hay. This combination produces too much looseness of the bowels. Corn or some such grain should be substituted for the cottonseed meal.—Farm and Ranch. Henhouse Conveniences. On a shelf out of reach of the fowls keep a box of lice powder, a bottle with spraying solution, box of vaseline or carbolized lard and a ball of string. The bottle should be fitted with a notched cork to allow the fluid to -escape, says Poultry Life. A few whirls of the bottle over roosts and about walls and floors will keep the house smelling sweet and destroy germs. Crude carbolic acid is one of the best germ destroyers. It should be used with a spray and one ounce added to each gallon of whitewash. Dr. Koch's Discovery. Professor Koch, according to a cablegram from Berlin, has discovered a new serum for the prevention of the cattle, mule and horse epidemics which have been killing animals in the South African herds. It is stated that the government of Rhodesia paid Professor Koch (150,000 for his services. Koch has discovered also that the African rinderpest is radically different from the American Texas fever, the belief having previously existed that the former was imported from America by cattle from the south. Help the Rant Pip. If the pigs have a trough to themselves, away from the sow, the runt stands a fairly good show If he is liberally fed, says American Agriculturist Otherwise he is no better off than he would be were the extra food not provided. Keep the trough full, and he will eat after the rest have finished. The runt should be kept with the sow for a couple of weeks after the otbere of the litter are weaned. This gives him a chance to gain &ome before he la compelled to subsist on what he eats alone. J Hot Water For ivy Poison. A medical expert' for the United States army recommends the use of hot water to check the Irritation caused by Ivy poison. This remedy was fonnd better than llmewater, soda alcohol, zinc oxide and the other common substances used. He plunges the affected part directly into the water or applies It with a sponge Ferilaf the Unfcs. Arrange the trough so that the lambs cannot climb in and soil the grain with their feet Place a rack over the trough so that the lambs can put their heads through to get the grain. t Tho Bacoa Hop. The Minnesota experiment station asserts that up to six and a half months the bacon hog can be produced as cheaply as the lard bog.
