A oanny Scotchman on the
•lopes of Wyoming is going to
experiment with a small herd of
sheep to produce what is com-
monly known as “wool fat,“ or
oelio acid. 8heep, when left
alons without a provision of food
made, will eat their own wool to
keep them from starving. The
wool when taken into the system
will furnish a small amount of
nourishment and wHI generate
a large amount of heat whioh will
produce the quality of fat desir-
ed. With this idea in view the
8ootohman will isolate a herd
and so expose them to starvation
and oold that they will be com-
pelled to eat their own wool in
order to sustain life. Carrying
this idea to the extreme, he is in
hopes that a new breed oan be
produoed whioh will produce the
wool fat in the largest possible
quantity and of the best quality.
Wool fat is used for medioal pur-
poses and is now worth 75o per
pound, which the herder hopes
to raise to $2 a pound owing to
its pure quality.
The Boers have decided to lo

General Booth of the 8aivation
Army is in the south for the pur-
pose of selecting locations for

During a rain storm ashes fell
at San Francisco that are sup-

The best way to kill the boll
weevil is to starve him to death.
Quit raising cotton for a few
years and plant the land in hogs
It will raise the price of cotton
and kill off the weevil.
A German prince has been
permitted to marry for love. As
it happens his bride is also a
princess and very wealtny, as
well as handsome. We oould
love that kind of a woman and
not half try.

It is getting so that a cattle
man is not “muoh pumkine’ ’ at
a Convention unless he wears a
claw-hammer coat and parts his
hair in the middle. As the stock
of cattle is improved so does the
society of the cattle man expand.

When a man puts his money in
something and keeps following it
up with more it is evident he
finds he has a paving invest-
ment. John L Spurlin, of Ham-
ilton, carried a page ad in all
the Hamilton papers every issue
last year and is keeping it up.
Here is what he has to say:
“There is an idea being dissemi-
nated among some of our mer-
chants that when I advertise I
do so to draw trade from them.
This is a mistaken idea. Ad-
vertising oreates business. I do
not consider that it takes from
one and gives to another. I
advertise to attract and create
new trade, and when an indi-
vidual is attracted to our town
by my advertising do not all the
trades in our town in a measure
reap some benefit? T'.ey have
the wrong idea when they think
1 am trying to crush any one
out; not a bit of it. My neigh-
bor's success is my suooess, both
of us making new business.
Every business man should put
his best foot forem&st. Pub
licity, provided it is of the right
kind, oomes before all else.
What is the best method? Why
the newspaper. They are the
greatest _ trade promoters known
and the quickest method to reach
the public.''

Don't argue with a fool. Lis-

Don't worry about your ene-

A woman may not believe one-

repeats it all, with comment.
A bookkeeper should always
