Hanan, a village on the borders of Anatolia, was the scene of a horrible tragedy a few days ago. There had been an epidemic in the district for some weeks, and, as its ravages ever be came greater, the villagers finally felt satisfied that it was the work of sor cerers, and, after a thorough investiga tion, they arrested a man named Asian and his sister, and openly charged them with being the direct cause of the dis ease. The two prisoners avowed their innocence, but the mob insisted that they had been heard using incantations and other evil spells, and that tneir sole object in doing so was to invoke an epidemic. Without delay sentence was pronoun ced. Asian was burned alive on an im provised scaffold and his sister merci lessly tortured with red not irons. News of Ine shocking crime was :at once taken to the local authorities and in a few TinriTc ih" nrinrinal inftrf atnrs wpm .s r- Tested. It is not believed, however, that this step will aid much toward the ex piration of superstitions ideas in Hanan. . .N'Czv York Herald. Cure Blood and Skin I'rouStle iHediciMc tree!

To preserve the wheels of vehicles, oud also to prevent shrinking of any of th? parts, put some boiling linseed oil iuto a pan or other vessel and raise the wheel so that the rim will pass through the oil. Revolve the wheel and let the felloes be "well soaked for about three minutes, and tho wheel will then be more durable. Clover nnd Cowpea Ensilage. ' Corn is the king of the silo. It makes good feed under many and va ried conditions, but not so with clover, Boy bean3 or cowpeas. Their hollow stems carry a stock of air with them that Is disastrous unless thoroughly weighted and packed. This may be done by mixing them with corn In fill ing silo, not having them near the top. I worked in several loads second crop clover in this way. It made very good food, better than either would have been without the other. Sheep were -willing to leave grain or almost anything to get at It; while cows and horses were very fond of It. I have never tried soy beans and cowpeas. I expect to he able to report before another year if the good stand I now have growing matures. I hope the corn binder will be able to cut the corn and cowpeas, tie In bundles, tear ing one bundle from another, and make them in shape to go through the cutter with less labor than any other method. How vise or what else can we afford to st'ek the trailing pea vines with, and what Is more natural than to balance the ration as It grows and keep it balanced? D. Stratton, la New England Homestead. Ilovr to Feed Ponltry, In times past poultry raisers thought that laying hens required a warm food early In the morning, imd various mix tures and methods were suggested as the best and most economical. Practical tests have shown that It Is not always best t give a warm mash for the morning feed, especially if given In any great .amount. Hens that ?irc fed with of t mash In the early morning soon become fat and lazy, and we all know that fat, idle hens do not keep thrifty. A very small Seed, -say sl teaspoon ful of mask t ach lien, given, at break of day, would perhaps be good, but it is difficult to proportion tho amount so that each 'one gets her al lotted part. Some win set -double their portion, and then stand .around idly waiting for the next meal, while -others go hungry. Wo believe the best eystem of feed ing is to scatter whole oats In the Btraw and force the hens to begin work early In he day. The jnash may b given about noon, :.md more whole grain later in the day, so that the hens may be kept Irasy till dark. See that all of them are fully satisfied before roosting time, even if whole corn is given just before .dark. Home and Farm. Keeping Oat the Cold. Hundreds of farm buildings that con tain shivering and unthrifty stock all through the winter months could, at almost no expense whatever, be made very warm and comfortable. Open foundations and .absence of any closed foundation whatever cause much of the coldness of farm buildings. Cheap nay and swamp grass abound in al most all sections. If a large quantity of this is cut and put about the build ing and held there 3a the manner shown in the cut, the wind would very effectually be kept cut. Two strips of boards, with laths nailed to tiiein every fifteen inches, will keep the hay very snug. When winter is past the hay can bo used for bedding during tho ppring months. Orange Judd Farmer. CvoTriisfT Cno.il XVool. Tl:r condition of the sheep's woo! r.t shearing time determines very oricn the prices offered. "When sheep come up to the season for clipping with wool that lies in long silken masses on their backs, clean, healthful and at tractive, it is a delight io feel it, ::.nd usually buyers are willing to accent it at a trifle advance ever poor, coarse, dirty and matted wool, t'ome sheep have their wool hi such good condi tion that it seems as if they were nat urally clean and particular animals, taking as inr.cli care of their dress as a human being. This has been attrib uted to the breed of the sheen and to the feeding, but probably not sufficient attention lias teen paid to the natural surroundings and conditions of the an imals. The sheen are a good deal like dairy cows. If you clean and brush oil the latter and give thca clean, health ful places to sleep In they appear to show a natural Inclination to keep their bodies clean. They are actually educated up to cleanliness. Sheep can likewise be bred and edu cated to keep their wool in good con dition. Bad weather will, of course, mat the wool, filling it with dirt and mud, and some sheep seem to inherit a tendency to wallow in every mudhole. I fact, it Is a noticeable fact that tho common, poor-bred sheep get dirtier than the fancy-bred animal, and their wool always presents a dirtier appear ance. In the long-wooled sheep the tendency to get matted wool is very pronounced, but this is due simply to the fact that dirt and filth find better lodgment in such masses of hair. Tho sheep should so far as possible be kept away from damp, marshy ground, and they should be given clean, dry sheds at night, or when the "weather is stormy. The sheds should not be located in low, hollow places, but, if possible, on high emin ences, where water will not collect. Careful attention should be given to the nature of the weeds and bushes in the grazing field. By filling their wool with burrs and prickers the animals mat the fleece badlj' and prepare good places for dirt and filth to lodge. If the wool gets tied up with burrs in this way something should be done to get them out, even though each individual animal must be caught and the wool combed out more or less. The nourish ing quality of the food also affects the condition of the wool, and it goes without saying that this should be of the best. A little study of the question might enable on.e to Improve tho qual ity of the' fleece, and in this way en hance the profits of the animals. Will iam Conway, in American Cultivator. HINT TO COUNTRY MERCHANTS. The Local Weekly His lefense Against Mall Order House. The country merchant is making a great talk about the mail order houses in the big cities who are getting trade away from him, but with all his out cry he is really making no serious ef fort to prevent it, says the Advertising World. You can't stop people from buying where they think they can buy the cheapest, simply by the use of In vective. The only way the country merchant can hope to compete with the mail order houses is by meeting them on their own ground by adver tising. There is absolutely no hope for the business of the country merchant un til he corrects a few of his time worn views about advertising.' Advertising Is simply telling what you have to sell and the price. It makes no difference if your ads. are not written by an 'ex pert or illustrated by a high-priced art ist, you can .make them effective and result producing If you bear in mind the one point that an ad. should tell about what you have to sell and not simply about yourself. The advertising done by the average country merchant Is usually something frightful. He does not consider adver tising a force by which he is to di rectly Increase his business, "but as a kind of leg-pulling proposition on the part of the local newspaper. Any old thing will do him in the way of an an nouncement, and the smaller the space the editor will let him down with the better the bargain he imagines he has made. Some merchants carry nothing but a stereotyped card, year in and year out, yet if they stopped to think, they, find that they have dozens of things they could sell at less than reg ular prices and which. If made known, would attract many buyers who would otherwise send to the big cities for them. The secret of the success of the mail order firms is simply because their advertisements tell something. Any kind of advertising is of course better than none. All advertising pays in some way or another, but the merchant who does no advertising at all, because he is not able to afford big pages, makes one large mistake. If you can't do the best advertising, do the best you can. What the best is that you can do may seem very small, but advertising is something that pays for itself and It increases right along. It Didn't Help IIlui. "Yes," he said, '"I've quit, and I want to say that I think these stories of the way men get ahead iu the world are all fairy tales. I've tried the methods and know. Only a few days ago I read about Tom L. Johnson making his first big hit with the manager of a street railroad by pick ing up the scrap iron he fouud lying around. 'You're the kind of a careful man I want,' said the manager, and he. promoted him right away. That was enough for me, so I began picking iri things whenever the boss was near. " 'What are yon doing?' he demand ed yesterday. " "There's no use letting these things go to waste, sir,' I answered, for that's what Tom Johnson said. " 'Of course not,' he said, 'and we hire men for a dollar a day to do just that class of work." But we can't afford to have clerks wasting their time over if. Hump yourself back into tho ofiice, now, or I'll have you 0:1 the pay roll as a day laborer.' "So I quit. Somehow things don't seem to happen in real life the way they do in print." Chicago Post. ME BANKERS MEET fwenty-Seventli Annual Session At Milwaukee. THEY I EM AND SOMH LEGISLATION Looking to the Suppression of Anar chial Tcndencres Resolutions On President flcKinlay's Death. Milwaukee, Special. The twenty seventh annual convention of the American Bankers' Association be gan here at 10 o'clock Tuesday, with bankers from nearly every State in the Union in attendance. The mem bers of the association represent a combined capital of over $3,000,000, 000. President Alva H. Trowbridge, of New York, called the convention to order and introduced Alexander J. Burrowes, president of Marquette College, who delivered the Invocation. David S. Rose, mayor of Milwaukee, welcomed the bankers to the city and J. W. P. Lowbard, president of the Milwaukee Bankers' Club, extended a welcome on behalf of the local bank ers. Tho reply to addresses of wel come and the annual address of Presi dent Trowbridge followed. President Trowbridge referred to the death of McKinley and tendered loyalty to the new President. James R. Branch, secretary of the association, then presented his an nual report, showing the membership and resources of the association to havo Increased as follows: Septem ber 1, 1900, paid membership, 4,391; annual dues $59,700. October 10, 1901, paid membership, 5,504; annual dues 60,85$. The treasurer, Mr. George M. Reynolds, reported receipts of $67,797 and expenditures of $66,938, tie balance on hand August 31, 1901, being $63,084. The disbursements on protecting account were $29,966. Frank F. Tracy, chairman of the committee on uniform laws, cub mitted its report setting forth that the negotiable instrument law had been considered in many legislatures last winter, but was successful in only one State, Pennsylvania. The law has been adopted in 17 States. A. B. Hep bnrn presented the report of the com mittee on internal revenue taxation. The report States that legislation, while not all that the committee de sired nor all it was entitled to, had been secured. Col. Robert J. Lowery reported for the committee on bureau of education, the substance of which was an en dorsement of the Correspondence School of the American Institute of Bank Clerks. A. C. Anderson, chair man of the committee of fidelity In surance, submitted the report of that committee. It was stated that a standard form of bond had been pro vided and nine surety companies were now prepared to furnish it. The report contained the following: "As numerous and heavy as were the de falcations for the year 1900 it should be borne in mind that the combined office force of our members exceeds 30,000, and among those that were covered by corporate suretyship, for each bonded man that strayed from the path of rectitude there were over 900 that remained faithful. It is to be noted that the heavy defalcations last year were mostly by men not covered by surety bond." The report said 61 per cent, of losses were not paid. F. W. Hayes, chairman, presented the report of the committee on taxa ttnn rf p-snress eonmanies. The com mittee stated that they were unable to report any substantial progress' as the result of its efforts to "compel the express companies and their num erous agencies to pay a license tax for the privilege of conducting a banking and brokerage business." Legal action was recommended with a view of testing the question in the courts. By unanimous consent a reso lution, presented by James A. Wil lock, of Pittsburg, was received and adopted by the convention relating to the punishment of anarchists. The resolution recites that there exists an imperative necessity for the en acting of laws by Congress to punish the assassins and for the suppression of anarchy by providing: "1 Capital punishment for tnose convicted of murder or attempted murder of officers in high public posi tions. . - . "2 Adequate punishment by impns onm'ent of all parties counseling vio lence to those in authority. "?,.
