REMOVING STAINS.
Inkstains on garments can be soaked
out in a mixture of salt and milk. A
teaspoonful of salt to nearly a gill of
milk is the right proportion. This an-
swers for either white or colored fab-
rics; but if the ink has been allowed to
dry, it will be necessary to soak the
stained part in the inilk for an hour or
two.
To clean window shades, add two
tablespoonfuls of benzine to a pint of
hot water. Wet a cloth in this solo-.
tion and clean a small space at a time.
Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.
This is especially fine for shades of any
light color, removing fly specks ovin s ecks and the
general accumulation of dirt that settles
on a window shade.
Mud stains on garments should be
allowed to get thoroughly dry before
attempting to remove. When perfect-
ly dry, hang in the sun for a few hours,
then brush out carefully. If the stains
still appear, try rubbing with a flannel
dipped in alcohol. Brush well before
trying anything else.

Movable pens are excellent to
have on any farm where hogs
are raised. If these aro used
and moved from place to place
the bogs are kept clean and
healthy and the manure more
evenly distributed.
Med?uia sized hogs aro now
most in favor. It is best to feed
hogs for only eight or ten months.
After they are a year old the
. feeding is not profitable. .

There should be placed in ev-
ery pig yard and pasture a box

The sow that has proved her-

is to allow her to become very

Flock Needs Protection From the Win-
ter Storms.
Sheep have little need of protection
from cold further than that which
they provide for themselves in their
wool. After keeping them dry and
out of the wind any attempt to keep
their quarters warm will likely do
more harm than good, but wool is net
a very good windbreak and is a very
poor protection against water.
Drying of wet wool is duo princi-
pally to the heat from the body of the
sheep. If any one is inclined to doubt
this statement let Hiro try drying a
fleece off the sheep and he will be eon-
kes
ithat it to
winced It swell known
a lot of heat to evaporate a little wa-
ter, and this heat must come from the
feed that ought to be making market-
able wool or mutton instead of going
off into the air. The chill resulting
from wet wool will cause colds,
catarrh, etc., to interfere with the
thrift of the sheep for a long time.
Then when a sheep is weighted down
with a lot of water or snow or sleet 0
does not eat so well as wheu'it is dry
and comfortable. Exposure to wind
Is not nearly so bad as exposure to
wet weather, but is bad enough and
should be avoided.
Except for lambing time, sheds that
are not very deep and open on one or
two sides are about the best shelter
to be had. When a closed barn is
used the floor above the sheep should

its origin in Franco in 1788. Thus it
has a longer history 'as a distinct
family of the Spanish Merino than
the American variety has, for the

the United States occurred twenty-
five years later. Rambouillet sheep

the barn toward the prevailing wind

It is especially important that there

are put into the barn. The gases from
wet wool are poisonous to sheep, and

In Battles at the Age of Twelve.
Something morotllan a hundred years
ago the midshipman was, indeed, the
"mldshipuiite" that he was popularly
called, for he was but a mite of a lad,
usually receiving his appointment be-
fore be reached his teens. Admirals
Farragut and Porter were midshipmen,
afloat and in Welted battles, at twelve
g
ears of
J s 0 gh
• age, and Go1d bol u was
appointed when only seven years old.
Nowadays, however, the Midshipman
is quite a different person. He cannot
enter the Naval academy under fifteen
and is therefore when on n regular
cruising ship after completing leis four
years' academie course usually a well
developed man, physically mature and
athletic anti with a trained mind. Ile
is far better equipped mentally than
the lieutenants and many of the cap-
tains of even seventy years ago.
The old time middles were mere
schoolboys. All Vie warships of any
size carried in their regular comple•
meats a sehoolmaster, whose duty it
was to give the lads as liberal an edu-
cation as possible in the odd periods
between strictly professional duties.
This rating of schoolmaster was abol-
ished, in fact, only about twenty years
ago. but after the establishment of the
Nai'al academy, in 1041, these officials
devoted their energies to the sailor all•
prentices only, the enlisted boys of the
forecastle. •1'7,veu these now obtain
their education on shore.
There Is a tradition that the three
brass buttons the midshipman wears
on the sleeve of his full dress coat dur-
ing his four years at Annapolis origi-
nated a century or more ago, when
their presence was needed to discour-
age the youngsters from brushing their
noses with their sleeves. This is prob-
ably a base slander, modern research
indicating that the buttons are relics
of the days when there was a cuff Hap
on the sleeve.
At all events the extreme youth of
the midshipmite used to be his most
conspicuous characteristic. Instead of
the full sized regulation officer's sword
that he now carries, he wore a little
straight bladed dirk about a foot long.
IIe was to a large extent a messenger
for carrying orders about the ship, but
he also took charge of boats and com-
manded men despite his youth. Ice
was frequently placed in charge of a.
prize captured in war, taking her into
port, and not infrequently suppressing
mutinies among the prisoners on hoard,
k'arragut was a prize master at twelve
and got his prize safely in.
The title "midshipman" is an ancient
one. He is above the seamen and the
petty officers forward and below the
commissioned officers in the wardroom
aft; hence "midshipman." There was
formerly a higher grade called passed
midsllipsnan, but this was abolished be-
fore the war between the states. Then
the grade was restored, but called mid-
shipman, the former midshipman be-
ing designated as a cadet midshipman.
In 1832 the title of the 'latter was
cliiurged to naval cadet, which it still
remains, and the midshipmen were
merged with the ensigns. Accordingly
the time honored title of midshipman
no longer exists officially in the United
States navy. •
While officially a naval cadet, that
young officer is still regarded and often
referred to verbally as a midshipman,
for he is the same creature as of old as
far as his duties go. ilut by the side
of his earlier prototype the twentieth
century "middy" is a savant. Trigo-
nometry was about as high Up in Math -
emetics as the old timer ever went.
The twentieth eeatu'y lad goes far be-
yond. He goes through analytical ge-
ometry of three dimensions, differential
and integral calculus, appiied nutehan-
ies.
Gunnery n hundred years ago was
little more than loading, aiming and
firing at short ranges. it now involves
metallurgy, theory of the combustion
oPp owder wises. t e
tress and strain, n1 -
chanieai engineering, manufacturea nd
preservation of complex explosives and
other abstru.,e subjects, iu all o' which
the midshipman of ther present day
must be proficient.
Midshipmen were conspicuous In all
our early wars, notably those with the
Barbary States, with the West Indian
pirates and with the British in 1812.
They were equally conspicuous during
our conflicts with tho Spanish and Fili-
pinos. Midshipmen, naval ctfdets, had
charge of the extremely hazardous
picket duty in the Santiago blockade,
close under the Spanish batteries and
often under mucketry fire from shore.
Cadet Poweli ran his open launch right
into the harbor of Santiago after the
Merrimac, remained all night under then
menacing guns of the inner batteries
and steamed out again under %lir fire
in the morning. -New York Press.
