But. on the other hand. In the more
northers countries of Europe at the
present day. the names ’vinber' and
wine-berry' are still used as folk
name* for some of the Identical wild
IruiI* which bore those names In the
Kiddie ages.
"It teem highly Improbable, then,
that the grape should have been
familiar, at least from personal ex
perience. to the early Norsemeu who
a-iied lrom Iceland and Greenland to
the western continent. And. in view
<jt the fact that the true grape Is
called In Scandinavian vindrufva. It

they knew Un foreign fruit at all.
would have applied to It the name
vinber. when they already used the

different wild fruit of Norway
"Prior and Britten aDd Holland tell

In the northern countries of England
and of Scotland as ‘wine-berry, and
the halck currant Is also called In
northern Scotland 'wine-berry.' The
use of currants In making wine, a
common practise in New England,
was also known to the Norse. Swedes,
Russians. Germans. French. English
and otter northern peoples.
"Without question, the "vinber' of
the early Norse was either the red or
black currant or the mountain cran

long interpreted as Indian corn, but
in recent years the theory advanced
by Schubeier has been generally
adopted, that the wheat seen by the
Norsemen in Vinland w as the Amer-;

“It now remains only to determine
our representative of the Scandina

the canoe birch. Thus it will he seen,
that the three plants which have

In reality the mountain cranberry or
possibly one of the native currants,

birch extends very locally southward
on the coast to Long Island sound,
the mountain cranberry to Essex
county. Massachusetts. and the
strand wheat to the Isles of Shoals,
the area of their greatest abundance
is from the lower St- Lawrence river
northward along the coast of Labra

these facts and its far reaching sig

Eggs Hatch in Snake.
Long Beach. Cal —W. B McCracken
tells the latest snake story.
For 13 days one of his hens had
been "setting" when a hungry snake
drove her ofT the nest and gorged
itself with three of the eggs.
The reptile lingered about the prem
ises and McCracken shot it. Wonder
ing at Us odd proportions, he per
formed an operation and found the
eggs.
They were put back under the hen.
At the end of the regulation time ail
three were hatched. The chicks are
now a few days old and healthy.

For about this time next month 21

“Under the old regime it was Impos

only thanks to the young Turk govern

have secured it. Had it not been for
the revolution, we should have had to
pay at least $1,000,000 in bribery for

“The Turks are very clever mechan

number of them as chauffeurs who
have been in the military service on
the gun cars.
“The horse omnibuses will be run
in the streets which are too roughly
paved for the motors. The motors
will only run on the routes which are
properly paved, such as from Galata
to Ortakeuy. a distance of three miles.
“Another route will be across thu
Galata bridge, a distance of three
quarters of a mile. This connects the
two parts of Constantinople.
“From Tunnel (Pera> to Chichill. a
distance of three miles, is another of
the several routes we shall run on.
"The drivers and conductors of all
the omnibuses, which are of the usual
London types, will be Turks, and they

Old Man Renews Business
- <
Harreunaker of Eighty-seven ,
^e*ra to Conduct Store Following
the De2th of His Son.
Lewiston. Me. — At eighty-seven
years of age. Joseph Niles is one of
the busiest men in Sabbatis. a subur
baa village. Ry the death of his son
he fcas gone into business again, and
early and late be is at his bench.
Seme 12 years ago Niles, then a
comparatively old man. after having
far many years conducted tae harness
store on the main street, gave up the
business to tis son. Amasa Niles.
A few weeks ago the son arose one
morales, went to the store and
dropped dead from heart failure. To
uay past ti* eighty serenth birthday,
j Joseph M. Niles is at the little work
shop, conducting the business again
that he thought be had left for ait
time.
Mr Niles does not look or feel
eighty-seven years of age. but he is
probably the oldest man in the state
actively conducting a business, and
one of the few who have conducted
the same business in the same place
tor more than half a century.
The little shop Is older than he is
—one of the oldest buildings in the
township—a little one story affair that
formerly stood where the postoffice
now is. and has been twice moved
since then.
CETS 35 CENTS. LOSES $100
Thief Invading California Railroad
Station Is Real Victim—Causes
Much Joking.
Santa Rosa. Cal.—A thler who broke
Into the office of the Northwestern
Pacific railroad at Schellviiie the other
night stole 35 cents from the cash
drawer in the ticket office. During bis
brief stay in the office be dropped
from his pockets an envelope contain
ing two greenbacks, one tor $10d and
the other for a single dollar. The visit
of the thief, intended to net him some
easy money, resulted In a net loss to
him of $100.65.
The officers are desirous of catching
the marauder who broke into the de
pot, not for the purpose of returning
to him the sum of money which he
dropped during his thieving expedi
tion, but they would like to secure
him and prosecute him for his crim
inal act. The officers have no fear
of tie man calling for the lost money.
Th* idea of the rich tramp burglar
robbing the poor railroad corporation
and incidentally making a donation of
$100.65, is causing joking here at the
expense of the unknown man who lost
his money, and has no hopes of its re
covery.
The Celestial Empire.
Celestial empire is derived from
Tien Chau, that Is the heavenly
dynasty, meaning the kingdom which
the dynasty appointed by heaven
rules over. The inhabitants are called
celestials because they are subjects
of that empire.
ARRANGE FOR SPECIAL I
ATTENTION TO THE EWES
Animals Need Plenty of Exercise, Good Food and Clean*
Comfortable Quarters—Ration Is of
Greatest Importance.
General Purpose Barn.
If ewes have been well fed and are ,
strong and vigorous at time of lamb
ing the loss of the youngsters will be
small.
Ill-fed ewes produce sickly lambs. A
young lamb Is very tender, the first
few days of Its life.
If they come Into the world weak
and puny It requires but a breath of
cold wet weather to kill them.
The ration for ewes Just prior to
lambing is of the greatest importance.
An excellent grain ration Is oats,
bran and corn in equal proportions by
weight. This of course makes bran
much larger in bulk end some farm
ers seem to be afraid to feed bran.
This is a great mistake because it Is
one of the best rations to use at this
time. Alfalfa makes excellent rough
age.
If bran Is not availab'e a little oil
meal makes an excellent substitute.
The ration mentioned will make plen
ty of milk without laying on too much
fat and when the lambs are dropped
the ewes will be in good condition to
take care of them.
Good shelter for the ewes Is also
very Important. They require plenty
of ventilation, but their quarters must
be perfectly dry and free from drafts.
It is a mistake to confine sheep in a
barn with large openings around the
bottom and windows at the top be
cause such an arrangement is sure to
be drafty.
It is a good plan to build In front
of the shed an extension roof of about
six feet not sloping enough to prevent
the sun from shining In but sufficient
to carry off the rain. This will en
able the ewes to have more light and
air and It will be found that they will
spend most of their time at the front
of the shed. Sheep do not like damp,
dark quarters.
It Is highly Important that pregnant
ewes should have plenty of exercise.
Confined In close quarters three weeks!
prior to lam Mr* renders them weak
and listless and is often, we believe,,
the cause of dead lambs at birth.
Clean, pure water should be pro-i
vided always. An excellent arraage-(
mont Is to have a trough running'
through the shed Its entire length Intol
which water can be discharged out-'
side the shed. Sheep will actually!
starve before they will drink dirty*
water or eat unclean food.
Ice water will produce abortion In'
ewes If they are forced to drink it aik
the time and some arrangement!
should be made by which the water
can be somewhat tempered.
The illustration shows a general
purpose barn near Columbus. It W
40 by 56 and has five single horse
stalls and one box stall. It has nine
single cow stalls and one box stalU
It also has a large open stable which
can be used for either sheep or cattle,
A large oat bln and a corn crib are
on the basement floor, both of which,
are filled from the Boor above. The
main floor is entirely unobstructed.
Grit for Chicks.
One of the first things to be fed to
chicks is coarse sand or suitable grit
of some kind, w-hlch may be bought at
supply houses or gathered at home, al
ways selecting sharp, small sub
stances. Dry bread crumbs, millet,
seer, hard-boiled eggs, and after a few
days. cracked wheat, oat meal an<^
finely ground bone may be fed. With?
in reach of the chicks at all times
should be grit, small bits of charcoal
a fresh, clean supply of water, so pro
vided that the chicks can not get
their feet into it.
BREED OF SILVER CAMPINES
This breed Is popular In Belgium,
where conditions of soil and climate
are not unlike portions of the desert
areas of California. In type and habit
they strongly suggest the Mediterra
nean and Dutch classes, especially the
Leghorn or Hamburghs. They are ra
ted as great foragers, the birds almost
hustling their entire living; the hens
are good layers of medium-sized hen
fruit. They are non-sitters. The breed
is represented by two varieties, viz.,
the Silver and the Golden. The breed
takes its name front the Campine dis
tricts of Belgium—the dry sandy
plains between Antwerp and Hasselt.
where activity is essential if life is to
be maintained. They are bred sparing
ly in this country. Cocks weigh 4V£ to
| 5 pounds: hens 3^ to 4 pounds. The
! body, though small. Is long, with a
rather full breast, as In the Hamburgh,
which type It much resembles, ex- j
cepting in comb, which Is single In
both sexes.

Early Com Pays Well.
If you have a good market, early
sweet corn is a paying crop. It can
be planted thick and an enormous
number of ears grown to the acre. 1
have had as high as 1.000 dozen ears
to the acre, and It generally sells at !
8 cents to 12 cents a dozen. While
the later sorts are much bigger and 1
sweeter ears they do not, as a rule,
pay as well as the earlies. Plant Cory,
White Mexican and Early Minnesota. .
PROFIT IN
RETAIL MILK
Many Dairymen Who Live Near
Towns and Cities Make More
Money In Small Trade Than
In Any Other Manner.
Many dairymen living near towns
and cities find it more profitable to
market milk to the retail trade than
to dispose of it in any other man
ner.
The day has already come when
people who buy milk or any other food
products demand the best and they
will patronize the man who is cour
teous, businesslike, and who handles
his goods in a neat and clean way.
More depends upon the man who sells
the milk than the quality of the milk
itself. If you want people to buy
your milk, you must first get their at
tention and then win and hold their
confidence by affable manners and the
most honeat dealing.
No one can afford to enter the re
tall milk trade if he does not produce
the very best quality of milk. You
must have good, healthy cows, the
cleanest kind of stables for them, to
gether with a sanitary milk house.
Let your customers know what you
have and frequently invite them to
visit your farm and 6ee what you
have.
The few who do visit you will tell 5
all the others what they saw, hence j
it will be necessary to keep things ,
clean and in good order at all times.1
so that your goods will always pre- j
sent a good appearance. If your dairy
is large enough to warrant it, get out
a small booklet describing your dairy. |
Illustrate it with a few photo halt i
tones if possible and make a strong
point in your booklet of the cleanli
ness of your surroundings and the
sanitary way in which you handle your
milk.
One of the best ways to advertise
your goods is through a fine wagon
and equipment. If you have every
thing the best and cleanest you can
get from one to two cents more a
quart for your milk.
