AT YOUR DRUGGIST* AMERICAN VICTORY IN GERMANY Prosecutor Finds Oil Company Has Committed No Wrong. Berlin.?The long and venomous campaign waged by German newspapers and rival industrial interests against one of tlie German branches of the Standard Oil Company ? the T\aiifoa^a Tfanimm Oil P a m r?Q n v T-> a a xjculo^uc vatuuui v*? vuui^?uj just been brought to a victorious end for the Americans involved. A well known Hamburg newspaper for months printed Buch a serie3 of attacks on the "American graft methods" alleged to have been practiced by the vacuum company in the conduct of its German business that the public prosecutor of Hamburg felt constrained to make an official investigation with a view to eventual indictments. The prosecutor has now concluded his investigation, especially of the work of E. L. Quarles, American manager of the German company's sales department, and announces that no necessity exists for pursuing the inquiry further. No evidence of anything warranting prosecution was found against Mr. Quarles, and the costs of the entire inquiry will be borne by the State. ,vThe result of the investigation constitutes a notable triumph for American interests in Germany. It is not the, first time that Germans finding themselves unable to compete with Americans on ordinary terms have resorted to slander. "St. Edward of Roxlvury." Edward Everett Hale was a doctor of divinity, but he was not a bishop or an archbishop. He held a higher title, conferred by the suffrages of his fellows, who regarded him as the first citizen of Boston. He had nearly every title to renown thai may be conferred upon a minister 01 a layman by the common consent of the people. On the shortest notice he would preach a better, sermon, make a better speech, write a better story, and improvise a better poem than any other man in the United States. It would be a strange omission if the citizens of Boston and the friends of Dr. Hale elsewhere should neglect to provide a memorial of him in the city in which he made his fame. ?Christian Register.

The College of Cardinals. The Popes were first chosen by the whole body of the faithful; then by the whole body of the clergy; then by the cardinals with the consent of the clergy, and then absolutely and exclu' 8ively by the cardinals. It was about the year 1190 that the College of Car dlnais luuy secured tnis power. Tfie chief insignia of the cardinal's dignity, his red hat, had as its original significance the idea that the wearer was to be at all times ready to shed his blood in martyrdom for th? church i Collie Deemed Important. A Collie breeder of experience df arns ihe Collie just as important on : the farm a* any other animals. His ambition is to raise dops that can be : sent over the hill to distant pastures to bring in horses, cattle or sheep, i and to stay at the heel, biting it necessary to make the stock come in. Staple Food. Make a staple food of the grain that is cheapest in your locality, whether corn. oats, wheat, barley, j millet or anything else. Then study its composition, and make up its de! ficiencies with something else. All i grains have a certain food value, and i to speak broadly, all are good for the | fowls, but none are perfect, and [ while any would make a good basis j for a paying ration, none make a ra! tion itself.?National Poultry Journal. Brood Sow Food. Upon the handling and feeding or a brood sow depends a great deal as I to the success with which she will : raise her pigs. At all times be quiet and kind to the sow. She should be thin in flesh when bred, as flesh will render her more difficult to get with pig. and will also have a tendency to ! make the number of pigs in the litter j fewer. From the time she is safe in pig she should be kept gaining in flesh until farrowing time. I have them fat, but not corn fat, at farrowing time.?Farmers' Home Journal. Ilay For Sheep. Clover hay is a most excellent feed for sheep, but alfalfa is just as good ! as clover. Alfalfa is not only higher In protein: but is more relished. In the way of a forage plant there is j nothing better than good alfalfa hay lor sheep, as pasture clover is safer ! than alfalfa. In the fall of the year, j however, sheep may be pastured on j aiiaua wun mue or uu iu?s num bloat. Any one who can grow alfalfa ; successfully can make sheep raising j very profitable. ? Farmers' flume Journal. ? Pasture Weeds. The cheapest way to rid the pas: ture of weeds, as well as other parts i of the farm where sheep can be allowed to run, is to keep some sheep ! grazing upon it. We believe it is also ! the best way to keep down weeds, as ! the sheep wander over the same land I day after day and keep the weeds j closely picked down all the time, while I if you depend on mowing the weeds I it can only be done occasionally and j not very often at best. A good sized j bunch of sheep will do more weed ! killing than a man, and do it at a j profit to the owner, while the man would be quite an item of expense, besides fertilizer is thus evenly disj tributed and the soil benefitei.? Farmers' Home Journal. ! Purebred Sheep. The Shepherds' Journal calls atten; lion to the fact that ths purebred sheep industry is rapidly moving to I m. x T4. V, from | western oicn.es. n sa.ro mat present movements it is apparent that : within the next few years the sheep i industry of this country will he to us j what the sheep industry of Great ; Britain is to the British flockmaster. i We are going to see a remarkable j evolution in our pu-ebred sheep in; dustry inside of another decade, and j it is safe to say that the West will in i future produce just as good material I as the East has produced in the past. | But this should not alarm Eastern [ breeders or English breeders, for it will mean more business and bigger I prices for their best stock as c?mpe| tition will always be keen for good j stud stock. We are fast waking up j to the importance of good sires, carej ful selection, mating, breeding and ! feeding, and the time has come when I the emasculating knife should be used ! vigorously, as by its use the quality ' of our flocks will be enhanced and ; prices will, naturally, increase in pro| portion to the improvement in q'.ial-, tty. Plan in Breeding. If one is breeding with a special j object in view, say to produce a strain ; o? phenomenal layers, it is rot a good | plan to introduce strange blood every j year, as, by doing so, the advantage | gained one year may be lost the next, | unless a cockerel can be obtained ! from a known flock being bred with : the same purpose as your own. If ; this cannof, be done, it is best to in breed. And there is a right way and ' a wrong way to do that. The right ] way require?, several breeding pens. ; First yea , begin with one-year-old cockerel and two-year hens; second | year, breed best pullets to same male. 1 and mate best cockerel of previous year with the hens of the first year. I If you know the hen that laid the egg from which he was hatched, put her I out of the pen. Third year, discard I the first-year pen entirely, both male j and females, and mate best cockerel j in pen produced by breeding the orig! inal mothers to cockerel offspring of I first year, fo hens which were hatched I from first year's pen and were mated ! as pullets with their father (they are j now two years old) and the cockerel, I now grown to be a two-year-old roos ter, to the pullets produced by the first year's pullets bred back to the father. Now you have two pens, and may ! have more if you like of fowls of the f same strain, but little or no relation. | Keep breeding one-year-old cockerels j ; from one pen to two-year-old hens I from the*others. This is better than j constantly introducing new and i strange blood. ? Colmau's Rural i World. TFie Coiony System For Hogs. Each succeeding year the colony , system of hog raising is coming more i and more into favor. This plan is to ! have two or three small hog houses j scattered over the farm in small pasI tures, varying from one to five acres ! each, with from fifteen to twenty-five ! hogs to the pasture. I Hogs raised ic this way are mere r*SP5:=NS^OB T ^anfr ! u healthy and thrifty and are less sub- , tj ject to disease. In case of an out- 1 0 break of cholera in one pen, the oth- ! w ers can be kept away from the sick j jj ones or sold, thus preventing the J ^ spread of the disease through the en- i tire herd. ! 0 These hog houses are made just | y large enough for one sow to farrow jr in. seven by six feet and five and one- ! r) half feet high is a good size; such a j ]( house will cost between four and five ^ dollars. They should be built on run- c. ners, so that they can be moved al>out 0 when desired. i Last spring we had sows to farrow J 8| about the middle of March in some n of these colony houses. The weather j q was cold, but by using plenty of good ; a bedding and hanging a lantern from j tj the peak we were able to save a high- I er percentage of our pigs than we 1 v usually do. : ci In the early spring as soon as the ! t( rye or other forage crops have start- j 0 ed, fasten a rope or chain to the front 1 yi sill (throwing the door open), hitch ; a horse to this chain or rope and move j sj tne Hog nouse 10 green pasture. i^aier, j when clover is ready to be turned [ b into, it can be moved again. In this ; u way the pigs can have the best of ! ]j pasture all through the summer, with i n a good shelter at hand in lad weath- j b er. As fall approaches, after the corn i has been husked, they can be moved { h to the corn field, and if cowpeas or | e soy beans have been planted in the J s] corn, they will fatten rapidly and J p pick up all the down corn and clean ; w up the field.?A Reader, in the In- ! o diana Farmer. i a ? b* a How to Set a Hen.

I ' n take a cracker box, that can be pur- . a chased at your grocer's for five cents, j n or if he is one of the generous kind j he will give it to you. The dimensions tl of a cracker box are, twenty-four inches long and eighteen wide and the same high. First I remove the bot- ! torn of the box, then take out one end, I and saw a strip two inches wide and nail this across the end at the top, ^ then nail onp the same size just in- t| side of this one and leave a half inch ; space between them. Then saw an- j n other two inch strip and nail it across j . the bottom so that it will be edge i j, ways, and put this one eighteen I a' inches from the back, thus making a j v square that will be eighteen inches, j ^ This will be for the nest. As I said 1 HVCHlS; I e p 15 INCHES ' . ^ l ' ?| i v, ; 9 i h k If INCHES 1' = |n before, take the bottom out, and j make a hollow in the ground, then j tl fill the nest part with good fresh | straw and give biddie a good dusting j li with lice powder, and when it gets j n dark put her in her new nest. Slip J a board in between the two pieces in ' * the end and she will be all by her- j 1* self and so that no other hens can : lay with her. I always set my hens in h a room by themselves, so that the lay- ! a ing hens can't get in with them. After | ti old biddie has stayed on this new nest J all day and you think she will be a ' 7 good, steady setter, then select fifteen i 11 nice, uniform eggs and set her. I j never take my hens off the first, day, ! c but wait till the second, then wait till j I late in the evening, so that they j ' won't want to get out so bad, but are | * easier to get back on the nest. Fix a j box of dust near sp -'jat she can dust j herself when she conies off, and give her plenty of good, fresh water and u whole corn to eat, and she will do ^ the rest. I have used these nests for two seasons now, and I think them e the best I have ever tried.?Judge E: ti G.

"The secret organization," said Mr. s Lee, "was about to have a public ser- I vice, and the committee in charge S asked his preacher friend to deliver | one of the prayers.

A method of placing house numbers on curbs has been adopted by the city of Pasadena, Cal. Formerly there was a great deal of complaint from delivery men and visitors, and also from the police, that it was almost impossible to locate a given house number, as these were generally placed in an inconspicuous place. Recently the Mayor has been authorized to have the names of the etT-Dote anrt thp numbers of the houses j painted on the curbs throughout the I | city, and he has employed two paint- ! j ers to do this work. The names of I the streets are placed on the face of the curb close to the street intersection' and consist of black letters one and one-half inches high on a white background, painted by means of a stencil.

I Tacoina's Great Stadium. i Tacoma's high school, which plays \ j an important part in Pacific Coasl | I athletics, is the only high school in ' America having an Olympic stadium, | if not the only one in the world. It is a ponderous mass of steel and concrete, j-ust completed at a cost of j i more than $100,000. in a gulch at ; j one side of the high school building, j I The gulch happened to be just the , j right shape for the stadium, so bnt | little excavation was required. The structure is shaped like a horseshoe, with the open end overlooking Commencement Bay. It will seat twenty- i i five thousand persons, has a centre sufficiently large for baseball, foot- i ball, track and field events, and will also be used for outdoor musical con; certs and entertainments.?Popular i Mechanics.
