XXX Senator and Mrs B R Tillman have announced the coming marriage of their eldest daughter, Miss Lona, to Mr Charles Sumner Moore, | of Atlantic City, N J. The wed'ding is to take place some time next April at the Senator's home at Trenton, SC. X X X A bill has passed the lower House of Congress and is before the Sennate to pay Col James H Tillman a pension of $30 a month for the remainder of his life.

Indignation and sympathy for the teacher runs high and Havird, who is in general an undesirable citizen of the community,narrowly escaped a cowhiding, but cooler heads advised that the matter be handled in a legal way.

The problem of feeding work burses is doubtless of us wide interest as any problem iu live stock management, writes L. (J. .Tobnson in Farm and Ranch. Practically all farmers, no matter what particular branch of farming they are engaged in. have occasion to feed work horses, and it matters not whether feeds are high or low it always pays best to feed such food as is best for the animal?the ones that are most efficient and economical. At the present high prices of all man* A well bred Shire horse Is from 16.2 to 17 hands high, with a girth or 7 feet 6 inches to 8 feet. Its Weed seems to be a cross between~ native Lincolnshire and Dutch stal- i lions. ner of grain feeds it is especially important that a judicious selection of feeds be made, for much loss may result from this phase of stable management if you fail to give it proper attention. In the first place, it is necessary to provide good, comfortable, cleanly ! kept quarters for the horse during^the cold weather, allowing him. of course. pleAty of pure water and then feed hiin such foods as he will relish. For his grain ration for the most part.I prefer oats in preference to corn. Of course the horse wants a change occasionally, and for this change I sometimes give a feed of chopj>ed corn and wheat bran, but oats are the main grain ration. These, with pure, clean timothy hay. will keep the horse in a desirable. healthy condition and at the same time keep his muscles hardened so as to fit him for the next spring and summer's work. Car* of Dairy Utensils. Any dirt that has accumulated on the milk can Is good evidence that the milk is full of these undesirable bacteria. To guard against this trouble it is first necessary to look to the utensils. Only those that can be easily cleaned, which have a hard, smooth surface without any unnecessary corners. should be used. Wooden vessels contain thousands of small pores that make it almost impossible to thoroughly clean them. Glassware and earthenware have been used to some extent with good results, but the fact that they are so expensive and easily broken makes it not practicable to use them. Galvanized zinc or iron receptacles should never be used. Tin that is perfectly free from rough surfaces combines all the good qualities to be .desired in milk utensils. Hor?e Out of Condition. For a rundown horse that is losing flesh and refuses his grain treat as follows: On empty stomach in the morning give one and one-half quart# raw linseed oil and two ounces turpentine well mixed. In two or three days give following powder: Sulphate of iron, two ounces: saltpeter, two ounces; nux vomica (powdered), one ounce. Mix well together and give iu feed morning and night a heaping teaspoonfui. It is possible that worms may be the cause of the trouble. If so, above treatment will eradicate them. Lavois sr and Chem.stry. Lavoisier (1743-94) comes very near being the ''father of chemistry." Although neither the science of chemistry nor yet a change in its objects can be said to have originated with Lavoisier, the means he introduced of attaining those ob- i jects, the ideas he put forth con- j cerning the constitution of bodies and the explanation he gave of vari-! ous phenomena were strictly new and gave to this science in the twenty years preceding his death a com- i pletelv altered aspect.

Growth of Electric Science. An Englishman, Dr. Gilbert of Colchester, may be considered as 1 the founder of the science of elec-1 tricity. He was the first to carefully repeat the observations of the ancients and apply them to the prin-1 ciples of philosophical investigation, i Dr. Gilbert's experiments, extend- j ing through many years, were published in his book "De Magneto," ; which may safely be said to be the first modern work on the science of electricity. Gilbert was born in 1540 and died in 1603.?Exchange. I i/xfc TAKE A DIP !

In or? of those cities where the women have actively taken up the work of civic improvement the woman's club has created a department of good roads and has appointed a committee t?? have charge. This is the first action of the kiud that we have noticed. The local newspaper says that "this committee has not been asked to work tin- roads, but it surely will be able to work the m?n who control them, to judge by the success of the eiTorts of the women in the past for improvements of advantage to the city." And therein is stated the secret of the value of such an undertaking on the part of these women. If the men won't build good roads the women can make them. Southern Good Roads | begs leave to actiiowieticre itseir a nrm and unwavering coustitueut of this club of progressive ladies who not only enjoy books and original articles on current topics, refreshments and social pleasures connected with the usual feminine club, but also incorporate Into their realm of activity such a laudable work as furthering the good roads movement Easy Deduction.

We have brought i them through, except when burn in the months mentioned, and have tried it then, but it is too long before spring comes, writes an Ohio farmer in the National Stockman. 1 understand it is very good advice to have the pigs all come about the same time?say in March or April?and have them grow up together. But not many men succeed iu having 100 pigs come about the same time in March, and in so large a number several will not thrive equally well with the rest, so that the herd should be divided anyhow. Also in keeping a large number of sows it is not best to let all run together. Again, separation is desirable. We put the sows in l>ox or closed stalls in the lower story of the barn where the windows may be opened to the sun on tbe south side. These are good, warm places, as we would say. in winter. There is quite an amount of heat from the horses. No drafts get in. The sows are easily watched during inost of the day, and if the weather is extremely cold when due to farrow we take i^ins to see how matters go a^ a time"f>r two during the night. If pigs are chilled they are taken to the house to be revived. As I recall, the experiences in midi winter with litters huve not been more trying than they have been in cold weather in March. The pigs should be ready to wean when grass comes, and their mothers will be ready for another litter a good while before fall. It should be noted that rearing pigs In winter is more trying on the constitution of the sow than in spring or summer. % When a small bit of pork costs ? a day's wages and even a ham % bode is precious there need be <?

One thing that cannot be overlooked 1 In the growing of pigs and the fattenj ing of hogs ii pure clean water for i them to drink. j One successful feeder always gives ' his hogs all the clean water they will drink before he gives them their grain ration. Constipation is very rare In a herd of fattening hogs that have all the clean water they will drink. Pure air, pure water, clean food and a cleau place to sleep make hogs profitable.

How They Help In Making Children I Good Citizens. Children, as well as their elders, can help in making towns attractive by keeping their home surroundings clean and neat, by refraining from throwing rubbish and paper on the streets andi In many other useful ways. But to ac-l complisb this a great deal depends ob' | the character and training of children. ! Healthy, pure minded and carefully trained youngsters usually prove the best town Improvement workers, and anything that can be done to benefit their health and morals should be encouraged. Public and private playgrorjds have been found to be very horpful. and in the Los Angeles Times George E. Bettinger tells as follows of the benefits children have derived * from playgrounds In Los Angeles: "The playground cannot be excelled aa an instrument In clearing the OIBLS' BACE OX A PLAYGROUND. [From the American City, New York.1 streets of boys and girls and furnishing them with a place to spend their leisure hours. The lessons learned here do more toward making good citizens of boys than any number of lectures or books can do. These lessons of law and order are imbibed as the boy goes about his play. They become a part of him. and be obtains the true essential ideas of good citizenship. An Incident that happened in Los Angeles will show the efficiency of the playground in taking the boys off the streets. In a certain part of this city it hud been the custom of the police department to put on two extra officers when the summer vacation of the schools began. This was necessary because it did not take long for the children to get into mischief. The year that the playground was opened the force of officers was increased, as usual; but. much to the surprise of the police. i they were not needed ana were rej ^noved in less than two weeks. This I was made possible by the playground. The cblldivu went there instead of loafing around the creets and getting Info trouble." "NOTHING TO DO." A Dull Timts N.i Discouraging to the Man Who Koops Himself Busy. Nothing wins so well as constant work. Often we bear a merchant complaining about dull times. Perhaps his neighbor is doing a rushing business, for the simple reason that his neighbor keeps busy. If customers are not coming in so rapidly as be might wish the busy man takes time to get busier and devises some new scheme to bring trade to the store. Perhaps he busies himself in rear ranging bis goods In attractive manner on the shelves and in the showcases. If he finds some of the clerks who are complaining of Its being dnll < he Immediately gets those clerks busy getting out old goods, arranging them in a manner that be can carry on a cleaning up sale to advantage. There is always lots of work to do. , How many times do we find merchants who complain of dullness sitting inside and vainly endeavoring to look through windows covered with dust and dirt!
