TH E N EW SALVATION IST.
He Gained the Confidence of the Natives
of India by Going Barefooted. '
The new British commander of the
Salvation Army of the United States is
forty-three years old and his full name
is F. De la Tour Booth-Tucker.
Commissioner Booth-Tucker belongs
to an old English family, and prior to
his joining the Salvation Army, eight
years ago, he was a Resident Magistrate
in the Punjaub District in India. He
became interested in the Salvation
Army and finally threw up his. position
and went into the work of evangelizing
the natives of India. He even donned
the garb of the inhabitants and went
barefooted among them as a travelling
preacher and apostle, begging his bread.
1
,' F. DE LA TOUR BOOTH-TUCKER.
It is his work which has given the
Salvationists such a tremendous hold
on India. He rose rapidly in the coun-
cils of the organization, and has held
the oflicc of Foreign Secretary for some
time.
His wife, Emma Booth-Tucker, is
the second daughter of Gen. William
Booth, and a sister of vex-Commander
Ballington-Booth. He was married to
her about ten years ago. She is very
active in army work. and has charge of
the organization of training schools for
recruits. '
YOUTHFUL GREAT MEN-
Famous at an Age \Vhen Most l'vIen,Begin
Their Career.
' Many of the greatest careers have
been made by young men. Washington
was but forty-three when he was called
to the command of the American Rev-
olutionary army. Henry Clay was
Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives at 34. Stephen A. Douglas was
but 39 when he first became a. candidate
for the Presidency. John Jay was
Chief Justice of the United States at 45.
James G. Blaine was only 39 when he
became Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives. Alexander Hamilton'took
charge of the Treasury at 32 years of
age. Martin Van Buren, at 36, organ-
ized the famous Albany Regency, and
was Governor of New York at 40.
John C. Calhoun, in his 42d year, was
Vice President of the United States.
John C. Breckinridge, of Kentucky,
was Vice President at 32, and a candi-
George
B. McClellan was only 38 when nomi-
nated for the Presidency.
In military life, especially, young men
have been most conspicuous. Gen.
Grant was but 40‘ years of age when
he began winning a name for himself
in our civil war, and was only 43 when
the war closed. -°
Napoleon was master of France and
Europe before his 30th birthday. Alex-
ander the Great had conquered the
world and left it before he was 33 years
old. Fremont, the “Pathfinder,” had
explored the Rocky Mountains before
he was 30, and was running for the
Presidency at 43.
Columbus was in the 30’s when he ex-
plained his ideas of the Western pas;
sage and enlisted the Spanish sovereigns
'in the project that led to the discovery
of America.
Richard Cobden was but 34 when he
founded the Anti-Corn Law League,
which revolutionized the commercial
policy of Great Britain.
William Pitt, ranked by some histori-
ans as the greatest of modern British
premiers, wais practically ruler of Eng-
land at 24.

FEEDING'SKIM-MILK PROFITABLY.
Hogs Need Care Just as Well as More Re-
. . fined Animals.
Five pounds of growth should be
produced from 100 pounds of. skim
milk if fed to lhogs in connection with
grain. Or 560 pounds of milk have
been found equivalent to 93 pounds of
mixed grains. To obtain best results,
the skim ’milk must be used while
fresh 'and sweet and in connection with
some kind of grain. To every hundred
pounds of milk add 30 pounds of corn
meal, shorts or barley, ground fine, or
feed a mixture of the above. One
pound of oil meal can be profitably
added. The animals do not tire of a
mixture of grain as soon as they do of
one fed singly. =W'hen, however, fin-
ishing is being done, two-thirds offhe
grain should consist of corn meal.
Soak all meal at least six hours before
.feeding, and do not give more than
will be eaten up clean.
Large barrels sawed through the mid-
dle make {satisfactory vessels in which
to soak' the grain. Do not prepare
more {than will be used at one feeding.
Keep vessels in which it is soaked
clean. Rinse out with clear water
after each feeding and expose to the
sun and air for a few hours once in a
while.
To be profitable, hogs should have a
.good clover pasture. In the absence of
clover, bats, rye and peas can be sown
Pure water
must also be accessible, and in the
summer, shade provided in a dry airy
place. It is a barbarous practice to
confine hogs in small, muddy, ill-smell-
ing pens, and no ‘hog can acquire a vig-
orous, lhealthy growth under such cir-
cumstances. Feed at regular hours.
Farming That Pays.
The bountiful crops of the past sea-
and overproduction compel the farm-
ers! to carefully consider what will be ~
most profitably raised. Some suggest
war, but we do not want that. I can
see no relief except through a better
system of management. Grow the best
fruit and vegetables, send none but the
best packages to market, as these will
.not only attract the eye but will tickle
the palate. Get the best ‘help obtain-
able, rthe best" implements, the best
seed. Work for the earliest markets,
do away with the middleman and sell
direct 'to the consumer. This course
will elevate the standard of the farmer,
command the respect of all, and start
a rivalry that Will be productive of
good—J. M. Lucas. .
Nine out of every ten farms in Utah
are owned free of debt and are culti-
vwatml by their owners. That’s what
we (-9.11 thrift: This record has been
made in the face of greater obstacles
than have fallen to the lot of settlers
in almost any other state in the union.
Utah .is a remarkable state in many
respects.
What Constitutes Good Roads.
People 'have different opinions as to
the kind of roads that should be built.
Those who ride bicycles want hard
roads. Those who own large quan—
tities‘of land think the roads are too
wide and are making an effort to have
them made narrower. In a few years
the farmer will 'have to pass motorcy-
cles, bicycles and steam engines, and
will need plenty of room to dodge them.
At present, gravel roads are the best
kind for flat lands. To make these
roads properly, they must slope enough
to shed water and must be well drained.
Use sewer tile for culverts and make
the bridges strong. The roads should
be constructed of the best material at
hand and as much money should be ex-
pended upon them as the community
can afford. After properly grading and
rolling, the French system of using
wide tires should be adopted, and with
these, good roads could be had eleven
months in lthe year, at all times ex-
cept when frost is coming out of the
ground—H. Manecke, ' .
Feeding Apples to Stock.
By far the best disposition 'of surplus
apples is to feed them to stock. Prop-
erly fe’d, apples are excellent for cat-
tle, 'horses, hogs, poultry, and in a lim-
ited way for sheep. Begin feeding
with a very small quantity per day,
gradually increasing the supply, until
(in connection with grain, dry fodder
and pasture) the animals eat up clean
all that is apparently good for them.
To give full feed of apples at once, may
dry up cows, and injure other stock.
C. P. H-awn, of Vermont. is convinced
that apples for cows are worth more
than the cider-mill price of 10 cents per
bushel, and he can see no difference
between, the eifects of sweet and sour
varieties.~ He distributes a load from
the hind end of Ia wagon, sweeping
them out with a stiff broom,‘while the
horses walk through the pasture; this
is better than feeding in heaps, as the
fruit keeps cleaner, and there is less
danger of booking among the herd.
Cows at first out all they can stuff, and
after that only in moderate quantities;
The Bay Crop Not a Full One.
While the hay crop of 1896 is a fair
one in the aggregate, there is such sc-
rious shortage in yield in some of the
leading sections, according to the re-
turns from the American Agriculturist’!
large corps of county correspondents,
that the surplus above farm 1-eq'u‘ire-'
merits ought to be handled advantagev
ously and profitably to producers. The
shortage is confined chiefly to the east
and south, other portions of the coun-
try having been favored with gener-
ally good weathe‘r and a liberal rate
of yield.
drouth—stricken districts of the south-
ern states, probably in no part of the
country is the shortage asserious as in
New, York, the damage elsewhere be.-

Rome _I.ays Claim to Being the Burial
Place of Seven.
All that now remains of the apostles
. of Christ are in the following places:
Seven are sleeping the sleep of the just
in Rome, namely, St. Peter. St. Philip,
St. James the Lesser, St. Jude, St. Bar-
tholomew, St. Matthias, and St. Simon.
The remains of three lie in the kingdom
of Naples: St. Matthew at Salerno, St.
Andrew at Amalfi, and St. Thomas at
Ortona. One, St. James the Greater,
was buried in Spain at St. J ago do Com-
postella. Of the exact .whereabputs of
the remains of St. John the Evangelist
there is much dispute, says the Hart-
ford Times.
St. Mark and St. Luke are buried in
Italy, the former at Venice and the lat-
ter at Padua. St." Paul’s remains are
also believed to be in Italy. St. Peter
is buried in Rome in the church which
bears his name; so too are St. Simon
and St. Jude. St. J Emes the Lesser is
buried in the Church of the Holy Apos-
tles, St. Bartholomew in the church on
that Island of the Tiber which bears his
name. The “Legends of the Apostles”
places the remains of St. Matthias un—
der the altar of the renowned Basilica.

Marvelous Results.
From a letter written by. Rev. J. Gun-
derman of Dimondale, Mich. , _we are
permitted to make this extract. “I have
no hesitation in recommending Dr. King’s
New Discovery as the results were almost
marvelous in the case of my wife. While
I was pastor of the Baptist Church at
Rives Junction she was brought down
with pneumonia, succeding La Grippe.
Terrible paroxysms of coughing would
last hours with little interruption and it
seemed as if 'she could not survive them.
A friend recommended Dr. King’s New
Discovery ; it was quick in its work and
highly satisfactory in its results.”
