PEOPLE OF THE DAY

Chief of Standard Oil. Although John I). Rockefeller is the titular head of the Standard Oil company, the actual direction of the affairs of the vast corporation is vested in John D. Archbold, vice president of the company. It is said of Mr. Archbold that no other person is so close to John D. Rockefeller, none so high in the chief’s confidence. And this regard has been won by devotion to Standard interests through many years. He has been with the Standard Oil company since 1875. His recent defense, through the press, of the methods of the company he controls is fresh in the public mind. Mr. Archbold is of Scotch descent and is a native of Ohio. His boyhood

JOHN D. ARCHBOLD.

was spent in Titusville, Pa., and when oil was discovered there he became an Independent operator. During this period he fought Rockefeller, and his ability was soon recognized. When the first oil trust was formed he became one of the nine trustees with the Rockefellers and their associates. H. H. Rogers did not attain this rank until several years later. From his Scotch ancestry Mr. Archbold inherited the sterling qualities of that race. He is a bold and fearless fighter. In every one of the investigations and legal assaults made against it Mr. Archbold has been the leader of the Standard forces. Mr. Archbold is the special patron of Syracuse university. He is president of the board of trustees of that institution, and bls gifts have amounted to more than $750,000.

An Optimist.

The Hon. A. A. Adee. the accomplished assistant secretary of state, who, despite changes of administration, is as much a fixture with the state department as the granite walls of the building, is one of the best story tellers in public life. He has, in addition to a fine sense of humor, a delightful accent all his own, which adds piquancy to any tale. The other day a friend met the secretary hobbling through one of the corridors. He was suffering from gout and grimaced with pain at every step. “Oh, I bear it cheerfully enough,” said the secretary in reply to an inquiry into his condition. Tm more of an optimist than a friend of mine who is afflicted with rheumatism. 1 saw him the other day, and he told me he was suffering so much pain in the foot that he could hardly drag It along after him. “ ‘You ought to thank your lucky stars you are not a centiped, ’ I said,” chuckled the secretary.—Boston Herald.

Senate Minority Leader.

Charles A. Culberson of Texas, leafier of the minority on the floor of the senate. Is recognized by his colleagues of both parties as one of the ablest members of that body. Indeed there are Republicans who say that Mr. Culberson is mentally the best equipped member of the opposition. The Texan senator presents himself for debate only upon the most important measures, apparently not caring for the notice given to those who speak

CHARLES A. CULBERSON.

on any and all occaaiona. He prepares for ids speeches by careful study of the Question to be conaidered, aud bls statements rarely fall to carry conviction. Senator Culberson’s father, David B. Culberson, represented Texas in the . house of representatives for twenty-

two consecutive yean and was considered one of the greatest lawyers of the south, *rtie son was trained for the law by his father. Senator Culberson was attorney general for Texas from 1890 to 1894, when ha was elected governor of the state.

HINTS FOR FARMERS

About Shoop. Don't keep your sheep house as close and warm as a dairy barn, says Farm Journal. A sheep barn should open to the south, and the sheep should be given the run of a dry yard during pleasant days. Keep the pens dry and well littered. Feed with perfect regularity. If not fed regularly, sheep fret and lose in condition. If any fodder is left in the racks, clean it out before putting in a fresh supply. Give all stubs and hay from the sheep racks to the colts. Keep salt in a box in each pen. Sheep eat lots of salt. Be sure that you are not wintering a lot of ticks. Ticks will make sheep pdor. Keep the pens level. Fill up hollow and uneven places. No other animals should ever be al< lowed in the sheep yards. The sheep cannot defend themselves and are liable to be injured in many ways. • Water should always bp within reach and be fresh and pure. Give the sheep a variety of food. Roots are a necessity in the ration.

Never Drench Cattle.

Drenching cattle is a dangerous practice. If a cow’s head be raised as high as possible and her mouth kept open by the drenching bottle or horn a portion of the liquid is very apt to pass down the windpipe into the lungs, sometimes causing instant death by smothering, at other times causing death to follow in a few days from congestion or inflammation of the lungs. Give all cattle their medicine hypodermically or in feed. If they refuse feed, give it dry on the tongue. The proper method of giving a cow medicine is to stand on the right side of the cow, placing the left arm around the nose and at the same time opening her mouth, and with a spoon in the right hand place the medicine, which should be in a powdered form, back on the tongue. She can then swallow with safety.—Dr. David Roberts in Wisconsin State Veterinarian.

Scratches and Grease Heel.

The best possible remedy for scratches, grease heel or mud fever is prevention, and prevention pays a big Interest on the investment if it does Involve some trouble and time. If the horses cannot be groomed all over, do not neglect the feet, ankles and fetlocks. If they are kept clean the horse will get along very well if its body is not curried thoroughly every day. But it ought to be when in winter quarters and is ever the better for it. To prevent the foot diseases named a “lick and a promise” at cleaning time will not do. Thorough cleaning must be the rule if exemption from disease is desired.

Change of Diet Good For Horses.

When horses are not thrifty it may be attributed to sameness of diet. A pint of linseed meal three times a week will loosen the hide, and the animal will soon show the effects of such an addition to its food. If the bowels are moved too freely by the linseed meal reduce the supply. Linseed meal is harmless, and no danger will result from its use, but it should not be fed too freely to mares with foals. Carrots should also be given in connection with linseed meal. And, last but not least, don’t forget a constant and thorough use of the currycomb and brush.—Farm Progress.

The Separator.

Recent German trials indicate that the separator removes from the milk and cream not only the dirt and slime which pass through the strainer, but the greater portion of the bacteria. As cows are usually cared for and handled there are always some dirt and dandruff from the cow’s udder that get into the milk. These cannot always be caught in a strainer, but if it passes through it is included with the slime which remains in the separator bowl. The German trials indicate that most of the bacteria remain with It.

Value of a Good Ram.

After all, SIOO is not an extravagant price to pay for a good ram if the buyer has half a hundred ewes from whose issue he would make the greatest possible amount of money. A good ram has many a time made the fortune of many a buyer and his flock in two or three seasons, and the breeder who gets nearest to the head of the procession is he who buys and exploits the beet rams.—American Sheep Breeder.

Appetizer For Horses.

An appetizer recommended by Dr. <■ D. Smead for addition to grain ratloiw of horses which seem a little out w condition and lacking in appetite W made as follows: Equal parts po w dered charcoal, baking soda, gingsf and common salt with one-half part of powdered gentian root He claims that the grain ration with this addition will answer the purpose of some of the high priced medicinal stock foods.

Feed For Laying Hens.

One of the best kinds of food for laying hens is steamed oats. A good ray to prepare them is to take the water that meat or vegetables have been boiled in and pour over the oata» ah* lowing them to stand until cool. .

The SPORTING WORLD

Another English Pugilist Coming. Another English boxer is to invade the United States, and this one. will bring with him >5,000 belonging to the members of the National Sporting dub of London, who are willing to wager that amount that he can whip any featherweight in the world. This wonder is Jim Driscoll, who is considered the cleverest boxer that

JIM DRISCOLL.

England has produced since the days of Charley Mitchell and who claims the featherweight championship of England. Driscoll has beaten Jem Bowker twice and, so his backers say, practically chased Owen Moran out of England.

Harness Racing Part of Education.

“Encourage good, clean ‘boss’ racing and cut out all vulgar shows, and you will have better attendance all around,’* said Norman J. Colman, former lieutenant governor of Missouri, at the convention of the American Association of Fairs and Expositions in Chicago recently. “God so made man that he wants to see contests,” Mr. Colman continued. “He will stop in the street to witness a dog fight and will watch two boys battle. Ministers of the gospel and others of high moral tone will witness a horse race that is purely a contest for speed for a purse where there is no pool selling or other form of gambling. Nothing will draw so well as good, legitimate harness racing. The fair is a great educational Institution, and no boy’s education is complete without it. At college he merely gets a diploma. At the fair he is educated horticulturally, agriculturally and minerally. Let the boy study these things in the morning, and for the afternoon dessert give him good, clean horse racing.”

Jeffries' Latest Oration.

Jim Jgffries made the strongest statement of his career the other day to the effect that he had permanently retired from the ring. He says that there Is but one chance for him to enter the ring, and that only in the event of his again becoming penniless. He believes that the average man is worth >2 a day from his neck down and for that reason would prefer to fight than to labor if he should ever go broke, and he says there is ’hardly a chance of that happening. The most surprising thlug Jeff said was that he believed if Burns and Johnson ever met the black would win and if he did and thus became the champion of the world that he would never fight him or any other negro. When he decided to retire, he says, he gave out the statement that if a suitable man was found within a year he would fight again, but that such a man was not found and that he then retired permanently.

Keene Has New Wonder.

The first mystery of the turf season of 1908 has appeared in a yearling colt in the stable of James R. Keene at Sheepshead Bay, N. Y. There Is little information obtainable about the colt, except that it is of a dark bay or brown color and is a wonderful goer. The youngster's name and pedigree are not known to any one outside the stable, and Mr. Keene’s employees do not talk about the horses they have in training. It is said that «at a recent trial the youngster did a quarter mile with weight up in 0:22 3-5, some of those who saw the trial from afar off making the time 0:22 flat. It has been fully determined, it is said, that Mr, Keene’s sensational three-year-old of last season. Peter Pan, will not be trained again, owing to Injuries received late in the season, but will be sent to the Keene farm in Kentucky.

Keogh After Pool Title.

Jerome Keogh of Buffalo, formerly pool champion of the world, has about decided to go in quest of his lost laurels, and he has declared that if Tommy Hueston, the present champion, will agree upon St Louis as the playing ground be will meet him for the title for the third time. Keogh specifies St. Louis as he is about to take a temporary position there, playing three cushion billiards and pool in an academy in the Mound City. Hueston won the title from Keogh last January tn Buffalo and two months later defended it from the Buffaloan’s attack at a meeting in New York.

Racing in Australia Recognized.

Before the adjournment of the board of review of the National Trotting association a message was sent to the Victorian Breeders and Owners* Trotting Horse Association of Australia accepting the suggestion that that association be recognized in this country and that reciprocal relations be established. Many horses are shipped from California to Australia, and it ds to place a safeguard on those horses that the arrangement is made.
