Treatment or Bulky Horace. Notwithstanding the fact that the press continually admonishes whom It may conoern that It does no good to whip or pound a balky horse, almost every ownpr or driver of one does It to day. It Is probably the greatest piece of horse folly In existence. It Is not a remnant of barbnrlsm. but It Is contin ued barbarity, and brings out what . original sin there Is In a man. The brain of a horse can retain but one Idea at a time. If the Idea Is to suu, whipping only Intensifies It A change of that Idea, then, Is the only successful method of management This may bo accomplished In scores of ways, a few of which are here named: Tie a handkerchief about his eyes; tie his tall to tho bellyband or back band; fasten a stick In his mouth; tie a cord tightly around his leg; clasp bis nostrils and shut his wind off until be wants to go; unhitch hlui from the ve hicle and then hltcn hlra up again, or almost any way to get his mind' on something else. Whipping or scolding always docs harm. The treatment should always bo gentle. There are more balky drivers tnaa horses. National Stockman. To Make the Farm Par. One of the greatest hindrances t profitable farming Is a deslro to go too fast at first and to purchnse things we could get along without The obliging agents tell you that you need not trou ble about the money; your note will do Just as well; but you will find that you must pay big Interest for the privi lege of going In debt, and you are al ways at a disadvantage to your credi tor. Have the moncy'yendy to pay, and you can then make your half of the unrguln. Take good care of your farm aud your stock, and they will furnish the mouey for necessary outlay. I will Just say to young men who ex pect to make farming their occupation, that they may expect bard work and plenty of It, and will not need to join any base-ball nine for exercise; but If they take care of their health and hab its It will not hurt them, for I hare tried It for over sixty years, and nra to day a well-preserved man. I can truly say that with the blessing of our Heav enly Father upon the labors of myself and family I have made farming pay. New York Tribune.

TUB MEANING or IT. How to Draw a Stomp. My experience has taught me that for those using capstan grub and stump machines or otherwise pulling In a WaterlSnpplled by Siphon. Siphoning water Is oue of the sim plest methods of getting a supply for Ir rigation or building. Where there Is a body of water about the buildings, but separated from them by such a height of ground or ridge that water will not naturally flow through a pipe from the supply to the source of consumption, It Is often possible to use a siphon. A siphon consists of a tube bent at a point nearer one end than at the other, giving a long and a short arm. If the tube be filled with water, the column of water In the long arm Is heavier than the column in the short arm. As ,the heavier column starts to run down oat of the tube, a vacuum is created at the bend, and the lighter column of water In the short arm Is constantly forced up to fill the constantly produc ed vacuum at the bend, the stream be ing thus made constant The water must first be started through any large pipe by a pump, but when once the flow Is started, there Is no need for the pump. If the pipe and the shut-off are perfectly air-tight, the stream will be gin to flow again when turned on. Ag riculturist. Warm Weather Chicken Hooats. During the summer and early autumn months chickens do much better if al lowed to roost out of doors nights. Plenty of fresh air makes them vigor ous and hardy. Some protection Is needed, however, to protect them from showers, and the attacks of owls and hawks that wotdd especially trouble them If roosting In trees. A simple roof attached to the side of a building is shown In the illustration. It Is easy to build, can be taken down In the fall, and answers the purpose admirably. Very often we give the wrong meaning U a word and thereby nmke serious mistakes For instance, the true and literal meaning of the word rheumatism is "aches or palm of the muscles, bones and Joints of the ha ninu body."

A slightly descending slope Is most favorable In order to precipitate drain age and the discbarge of surplus sur face water, but it is not essential that any particular point of the compass should be secured. Shelter from the rake of the wind Is Important. Tbe pear Is a companionable tree and will luxuriate when supported by other trees around it. . In close garden cul ture a degree of humidity is preserved and there- is less evaporation from ine foliage where the strong winds are broken, the growth will be more vigor ous and healthy. There must, however, be sufficient air and sunlight to mature the wood and tbe fruit If tbe site Is high, it will be an advantage to plant an evergreen to the windward, both for the health of the trees and also to pea vent the falling of the fruit during hiitli winds. On the other hand, a low, cold and peaty position, subject to fogs and frosty nights, is objectionable. A strong, retentive loam inclining to clay Is a preferable soil. INEXPENSIVE CHICKEN BOOSTS.

A few handfuls of dry meal added to each feed of oats wi!I cause the horse to eat much slower, chew his food more perfectly, aud thereby be kept In more perfect condi tion, thorough mastication being neces sary to good digestion. If the weather Is cold, let the meal be largely of corn, increasing the amount of fine feed, as shorts, as the weather becomes warm, with a little oil cake toward spring. Uur Animal Friends. New Fodder Crops. New fodder crops continue to attract much attention at the Vermont station. Soja beans of the green and black va rieties have proven satisfactory each year. No other leguminous hoed crop has given better returns In tonnage of green fodder, dry matter, or protein, Tbe green variety yielded at the rate of six and a half tons green and two tons dry fodder, aud nearly one-qunrter of a ton of protein to tbe ucre. Good growths were made of hairy and spring vetches with and without oats, but after ex perience with these crops for several years at the Vermont station, they are considered "unequal to peas and oats. Berradella yielded about a ton of dry matter per acre, and is recommended as a promising forage crop that is rich In protein. Agriculturist. Soger Beets for Cowa. I think very favorably of the raising of sugar beets to feed to stock, espe cially to milch cows. I feed about four quarts of beets, chopped up, with three pints of cornineal and one pine of cot tonseed meal for morning ration; at uight I substitute mixed feeds, or shorts, for tbe roots. I like a change In the roots, giving one morning beets, the next carrots, and then potatoes, as I have them to spare. I think stock like a change In their diet as well as we do. There is a very perceptible fall ing off in tbe flow of milk as soon as I atop feeding roots. Hoard's Dairyman. Rational Pic Feeding.

Nothing Is gained by starving the soul to feed the body. No man who truly follows Christ ever has to stand alone. Every man helps the devil who talks one way and lives another. When you pray don't forget those who treat you despltefully. The best news ever told in this world was that God Is love. Too many start to follow Christ who stop at tbe first cross-roads. Tbe man who Uvea a He has a pack of bloodhounds on bis track. The best place for a Christian Is where God needs him most. Be careful where you step, and those who follow you will stumble less. God has called many men to preach the gospel, but none to defend It. Sooner or later every great thought will make Its way around tbe world. Improve your time, and you can de pend upon It that time will improve you. There is such a thing as having re ligion In the head and not in the heart. Try giving all your troubles to the Lord, and see how light they will become. God "expects every Christian to try to make tbe world better than be found It. Every one who can say, "The Lord Is my Shepherd," may also say, "I shall not want." If wisdom could have snved the world it would have been done in the time of Solomon. The light shining out of a true Chris tlan life Is tbe best answer that can be given to unbelief. Whenever the devil is called by his right name some prominent men are sure to be offended.

That is whv it is the on y remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed bo highly by all Who value trood health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene ficial effects, to note when you rjnr- cnase, tnat you nave tne genuine arti cle, which is manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists. If in the enjoyment of rood health. and the system is retrular. laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of figs stands highest and is most largely Jted and gives most general satisfaction.

How His Knowledge Berred Him, In a recent conversation with a re porter of the New York Sun, the Hou, Daniel S. Lamont, Secretary of War, remarked that he had learned telcg raphy as a boy, and that It had often stood him In good stead. He then fold the following story illustrat.ng this use; fulness: - Several years ago, after my father's death, I wanted to bring my mother to Washington. I was In McOraw ville, my home town In Cortland Coun ty, and it was necessary for us to take a number of railroads in order to reach the main line by which we were to go to Washington. It was also necessary to change cars a number of times on these local roads, and in one or two In stances tbe trains were late, so that I began to fear we could not make the connection. At last it became positively known to me that unless we could make a cer tain connection, my mother would be compelled to remain over Sunday In a' small and cheerless town. I anew tne president of a railroad, who, If he were informed of my predicament, 1 be lieved would help me out So I tele graphed him, telling him that my trains were late, and asked him if be would not telegraph the superintend ent to have the train on the main road held until my local train arrived. Before I got to the local station where the main line train was to be met, I bad to change cars. It was a dreary little station, and I remember well my anxiety while Bitting In the waiting-room witb my mother, not knowing whether my dispatch had been received, till I heard clicking over the wire an Inquiry from the super intendent of the road: "Is Colonel Lamont there?" The operator looked around the room to see only two persons, my mother and myself, and Immediately replied: "No." Just as be sent that word I stepped up and said: My friend, I have unintentionally overheard the Inquiry going over your line as to whether Colonel Lamont Is heft;. That is my name." The ojMjrator quickly corrected ins "no," and Informed the superintendent that I was there, and word came back that tbe main line train would be held for me. This Is only a little Incident, but It demonstrates not only the value of tcl- eerapby. but the possible usefiiltieM i of all practical knowledge that a boy can obtain. Ko I say that every Imy who has the opport unity to learn tel egraphy should do so. Once learned, you never forget it. It may be of ser vice at any time, and it will always give a good livelihood.
