Sherring Mar R** la Chicago. Officials of the new Illinois Athletic club want William Sherring, winner of the Olympian Marathon race, to run in the distance fixture in Chicago Sept. 29. ' Secretary Charles H. Gensiinger, who recently returned to Chicago from the east and Canada, met nearly every Marathon runner of prominence and received assurances from a majority of them that they would compete in the coming event • In addition to Sherring the Chicago man got favorable replies from two

W. A. SHERRING.

other Canadians, Irving Elliott and George Moore of Hamilton, Ont. Of tbe crack eastern runners it is said to be most certain that tbe following will be among tbose to enter: T. P. Morrissey, M. A. C., Jersey City, N. J.; Martin J. O’Neil Roxbury Athletic club. Boston; Timothy Ford, Hampshire Athletic club, Boston; F. Laffargne, St. Bartholomew's club. New York; Ben Mann, Mott Haven Athletic club. New York, and Sammy Mellor, lonkers, N. Y. Fast New Chicago Race Yacht. The squadron of the Columbia Yacht club of Chicago has received a valuable addition with the arrival of Naniwa, a thirty-five foot sloop purchased recently In the east by J. G. Giaver, Hans Finstad and A. V. Johnson of Chicago. The yacht, which is favorably known to American yachtsmen, was built last year as a defender of tbe Canada cup and went through the season with a remarkable record. The principal dimensions of Naniwa are as follows: Over all length, 51 feet; water line length, 35 feet; beam, 11 feet; draft 7 feet. The spread of canvas Is large, 1,550 square feet being carried In the mainsail and jib. The equipment, wblch is of tbe highest class. Includes hollow spars and union silk spinnaker and balloon jib. The cabin is roomy, with six feet of head room and six berths. Naniwa is expected to be a leading competitor for the new Tavern cup, recently put qp for competition in the thirty-five •foot class. > A Crafty Canalhal Carp. A carp twenty-seven inches long and weighing twenty-three pounds was shot with a rifle in a small pond at Montpelier. Vt., not long ago. For twenty-five years the carp had been thriving on brook trout with which the pond had been stocked at various times, its presence was not known until the pond was drained to make the sheet of water habitable for the fast dying trout. As the water flowed away the carp tried to bury itself In the mud, but was killed by a bullet. In the latest consignment of trout the mortality rate is not so great. The Stallion Will Be Sore. The pacing stallion Will Be Sure, that was raced successfully in the Canadian provinces last year and took a race record of 2:19%, was placed Ln faster Dore’s hands some two months ago to be conditioned and campaigned in New England. A company of horsemen in Nova Scotia recently bought tbe horse for $2,750, and he has been shipped back to tbe provinces again. Rogers Is Captain of Cornell. Howard Maxwell Rogers, ’O7, was recently elected captain of the Cornell track team for the ensuing year. Rogers’ home is In Riverton, N. J. He has been in the Cornell running squad since entering college and was quickly picked out by Jack Monkley as being a sensational runner. He won the quarter mile at the intercollegiate meet. Cuckoo’s Promising Son. A horse in training at Murfreesboro, Tenn., lately trotted a mile in 2:27 and at the finish shifted td a pace and did the distance in 2:18%. Since then he has been shod to pace anil has worked in 2:18, 2:16%, 2:15. He Is by Cuck6o, a son of Ponce de Leon. Jersey’s New Auto Law. According to the recently enacted automobile law of New Jersey, every motor vehicle driven in that stpte must be registered in New Jersey, and every person desirous of driving an automobile within tbe state’s borders must be licensed.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE

. The Latest LannSrV Bag. The very newest laundry bags are of white linen, or if one cannot afford this material cannon clpth makes an excellent substitute, possessing, as It does, the wearing properties and appearance of the linen without Its ex’* pensive feature, says the Philadelphia Press. The ornamentation of the bag consists of the word laundry in large and attractive lettering, placed diagonally across one side of the bag and embroidered In wash silk or cotton floss. The edges of the bag are neatly machine, stitched, then featherstitched by band. A casing two inches from the top, through which is run a tape or ribbon, adds the finishing touch. The chief virtue of these white bags over the time honored ones of cretonnd and similar material lies in the fact that they may be laundered as often as desirable, yet retain their pristine freshness. Work la the Kitchen. Kitchen work is not dirty when properly done, and one way to prevent its being so is to have the necessary things at hand when cooking. A holder for pots and pans and a fresh towel should be fastened to the apron by tapes. The roller for the hand towel should be convenient to the sink, the pepper, salt and flour dredgers should be on a little swinging shelf near the stove, and tin asbestus mat should always be within reach to slip under dishes that are set for a minute on the back of the stove. • Uses For Old Silk. Handkerchiefs and even pieces, of washing silk used for dresses and blouses should be considered valuable possessions even when they are very shabby, for they make better dusters for polished wood than any which one could buy. An old white silk handkerchief laid across a sore caused by long lying in bed will sometimes give relief when nothing else will. Cleaning Black Lace. Black laces of ail kinds may be cleaned by alcohol. Throw them boldly into the liquid; churn them up and down till they foam. If very dusty use the second dose of alcohol, squeeze them out, “spat” them, pull out the edges, lay them between brown paper smooth and straight and leave under a heavy weight till dry. Do not iron. An Improved Fly Trap. A fly catcher that obviates the hulsance of having sticky fly paper about the house is that Illustrated here, and there is no doubt that it will prove just as effective. With its casing it resembles an enlarged jumping jack. It is constructed of two wires arranged one inside the other and coiled In

FLY CATCHER.

opposite directions. The wires are covered with a fabric material which is coated with a glutinous, poisonous substance, to which the flies adhere with great tenacity. The colls of wire afford plenty of surface to attract the files, and when the catcher is hung from a chandelier or other convenient place It serves its purpose fully. To Clean Waste Pipes. The waste pipe from a sink or lav story basin often gets clogged up with soapy matter. Don’t send for a plumber, but instead pour down first a little paraffin and immediately after some boiling water in wblch a fairly large piece of common washing soda has been dissolved. It will clear tbe pipe immediately. Reaovatlnc Rusty Kid Gloves. Ink and olive oil mixed in equal proportions, painted on the glove with a feather or soft brush and then allowed to dry, will improve shabby kid gloves Immensely. Suede ones also may be treated in the same way. Remember to use as little of the mixture ns possible or you will do more harm than good. | Nuts For Rheumatics. Nowadays doctors forbid gouty patients to eat any kind of sweet food, but recommend them to eat at least a dozen walnuts a day. There is no doubt that walnuts are most useful in gouty subjects or in cases of chronic rheumatism. Swelling goes down and pnin decreases. To Wait the Hair. Pour boiling water on bran, let it stand till cold .and strain through a cloth. Put more water on the bran and strain again. Use the first water for washing the hair and second for rinsing Use soap. Dry the hair in the sun. For Clean lag Copper. Tor glean copper take a handful of common salt and enough water and flour to make a paste; mix together thoroughly. There Is nothing better for cleaning copper. After using tbs paste wash thoroughly.

HINTS FOR FARMERS

Bran For Dairy cattle. Twenty years' experience •in feeding dairy cows convinces me that at times and under certain coiiditions bran la a food and a medicine that cannot easily or safely be dispensed with. When the cow is dry and Is bagging up there la no feed equal to good wheat bran and really none to take its place In my experience. It is bulky, mildly. laxative and cooling, and it seems to contain just the elements that are needed <by the cow at this particular,and critical time. During this period and until she has her calf and is safely started on her next period of lactation I want to feed an abundance of wheat bran, but after that there may be feeds just as good that will reduce the cost of production, and if I find such to be the case I drop the bran or most of it out of the ration for the rest of the season.—L. W. Eighty in National Stockman. Keeping Up the Grana Land. Intelligent fertilization is an important factor in producing any crop, and grass Is no exception to the rule, writes a Vermont farmer in American Cultivator. Years of experience, observation, study and practice have confirmed me in the belief that a great waste of stable manure, which is in its truest sense the farmer's bank, has been going on among New England farmers by the application of too large quantities of it to the acre, half mixed with soil. Ten good loads of manure to the acre, or its equivalent in the best commercial fertilizers, thoroughly mixed with the soil, are all and in many cases more than it is profitable to use. Really it is all the crop requires or can economically utilize. More frequent application in smaller quantities will result in better profits. Guinea Fowl. One of the main reasons why the guinea fowl is so eminently suited to farms is that a free range is necessary in order to insure success. It is almost useless attempting to rear the chickens or to maintain the adult stock In confinement, says a writer in the Feather. Guinea fowls are wonderful foragers, and after the first few weeks they will obtain nearly sufficient food to support themselves. During seven months out of the twelve the adult birds require practically no feeding, as they are able to find a.plentiful supply of seeds, grubs and insects to keep them in a good condition, and it is only during the winter that they should be supplied with much artificial food, two small feeds a day proving ample.

Lime For Land. The amount of lime needed per acre depends upon the In nd, writes Alva Agee In National Stockman. I have used 1,000 pounds per acre on heavy clay with good results. This soil was too acid for clover, and the half ton Increased clover growth. I believe that one ton per acre would have done more good on this heavy soil, but the half ton cost less and gave quite satisfactory returns. Our Wooster station uses a ton per acre. All depends upon tbe amount of acid In the soil. Try a half ton on clay soil and even less on light sand. Feeding Straw to Honea. In feeding oat straw to horses it should first be cut, with wheat bran and middlings addgd to it More digestible nutrients are contained in fifty pounds of bran than In an equal weight of wheat since bran contains the greater part of the protein of the grain, which is worth more than twice as much as the starch, mostly contained in the wheat kernel. The same is applicable to middlings. In all these feeds protein may be bought at reasonable prices. Either combined with cut straw makes an economical feed. Mange In Dogs. Following Is a good remedy for mange of dogs: Wash the animal thoroughly with soap and water to remove all scabs and scurf. When dry rub well in on all affected parts au ointment made by mixing equal quantities of flowers of sulphur and lard. Apply once a day, but tbe washlug need not be repeated unless more than four applications shall be required to effect a cure. Or if preferred apply once a day a mixture of one ounce of oil of tar and twenty ounces of whale oil.— Atlanta Constitution. Fowl, For Eggfß and Table. That fine old English fowl, tbe Dorking, has long been pre-eminent as the beet table fowl. It Is a very fair layer, too, and Is altogether a most useful breed. Houdans and Creve Coeurs are excellent table birds, flesh white, well flavored and of fine grain. Those combining both table and egg producing qualities in fair proportion are Plymouth Rocks, Wyandotte*. Orpingtons, leghorns, Minorca*. Faverolles. Houdans, Langshaus and Scotch Grays.— “Poultry Keeping and How to Make It Pay” Shade Far Poultry. Natural shade is always the best protection for the growing chicks. Full grown trees or underbrush furnishes tbe best protection. It Is remarkable to note how the growing chicks will take to tbe shade of an aaparagus bed, gooseberry or currant bushes. This leads one to consider the advantages of a combination of fruit with poultry. —Feather. , Feeding the Stallion. Raw eggs afford a very nourishing, cooling nnd easily digested food for stallions when doing a large business In tbe stud. A half dozen may be broken and stirred Into the grain ration night and morning, with great advantage In many cases. The grain ration may be somewhat diminished whan eggs are fed.—Farm Progress.
