Care of the Team.
A teamster, whose name Is Rollle
Smith, says that one of his employers
' ' kopt three large teams, and gave or
ders to trot them whenever a level or
the road permitted. One time, being
In id Up by sickness, the employer
promised to give a suit of clothes when
he got well to the driver who kept his
learn In the best order. Smith, who
Ix'lieved In walking large horses, re
solved to win the suit It was six
weeks before tiUS boss- was around. The
first day of walking, the horses bav-
lug been trotted so much, were not
very ambitious, and their trip was not
completed until long after the other
boys were through and their teams
put up. The next night Smith finished
his rounds earlier. In ten days the
team would do as much In a day on a
walk aa either of the other two, which
were Jogged af every opportunity, and
began to gain wonderfully in flesh and
appearance. The same quantity of
grain was given as before, but be
thinks he rubbed them a little more-
be could not help it, they were so hand
some. He also frequently allowed
tbem after working to roll In the loam
of a freshly-plowed field or garden,
which they greatly enjoyed. Then they
were cleaned, first with, a broom, then
with a rice root brush, followed by
uig cloth rarely or never with a cur
rycomb. When the employer was able
to visit the stable he did not know
Smith's team could scarcely believe It
belonged to him. After having all the
horses hooked up to wagons and see-
lug this team walk away from the oth
ers, ne gave orders to "walk your
horses," and took "Rollle' to a first-
class place and told him to pick out the
best suit In the store, for the lesson
learned was worth It. Farm Journal.

Farmer.
Bbearlng Hediea,
Theie are comparatively few Ameri
can farmers who take tbe pains requir
ed to keep a hedge neatly trimmed and
within reasonable bounds of growth.
Most of the hedges we see have be
come overgrown, and aa their tops spire
upwards, the undergrowth that is re
quired to make a compact hedge near
the ground dies out, leaving gaps
through which most of the smaller ani
mals readily pass. When pruning Is
done in this country it is most apt to
be done in the spring or late in fall,
when the buds are dormant This only
makes matters worse, as the more vig
orously the top is then pruned the
greater will be the growth of the up
per buds. The only pruning of hedges
to effect proper growth must be done
In July or August when the hedge Is
in inn roliage. This checks growth
greatly. But this is Just what is want
ed. We have seen both Englishmen
and Scotchmen doing this work on
their own grounds, but never an Amer
ican native born. The work comes
Just when all American farmers are
: busiest, with haying or grain harvest
or when work among cultivated crops
is most pressing. Long pruning shears
are used, and the hedge is cut back so
that an even cut will prune off some
thing of this year's growth at the top
ana on each side. But the hedge,
though pretty when thus trimmed, is,
If kept in condition, more expensive
man any other kind of fence.

The apple which grows on the topmost

to buy tickets through to Dwon City,
or only to the porta on the coast, and
today the roads took their first action
hearing on tho question of Alaska rates.
They have decided to get out their rata
sheets showing the rates to Alaska and
will ignore entirely the claims of tbe
Canadian Pacific for the differential on
the business. The rates of the Cans
iliun Pacific will not be shown on the
Sheet at all. . .
In the days of the old Tmnsconti
nental Association, the Canadian Pa
r'.fic was allowed a differential of f 5 on
Its Pttoillo coast business, and it claims
the same now, but the roads of the old
association, and those of the Western
Passenger Association, after the pro
mulgation of the supreme court deoi
t ion regarding the formation of pools
and associations, absolved them from
all further obligations to allow the
SinYrentiala of the Canadian Pacitic.
The latter road has never seen the mat
ter in that light and it will make a
light that is very likely to demoralise

FIGHT ON THE BORDER.
To Keep Sheep Properly.
To keep sheep properly some atten
tion should be given tbe breed that Is
desired; that is, in Its selection. If tbe
pasture la of the best kind the breed
should be of the large-growing individ
uals which reach heavy weights, and
which are not expected to forage for
their supply. If the herbage Is scanty
the breed should, consist of more active
Individuals. Tie Southdowns can be
kept in larger flocks than the Oxfords,
and they are capable of foraging more.

respect If heavy-fleece merinos are
used the carcasses must not be expect

It is now known that a heavy fleece of

Making Cob Coal for Hoc
One who raises from 100 to 150 pigs
should aim to save at least 200 bushels
of corncobs for charcoal. Make a pit
to a reel deep, 12 to 18 Inches In
diameter at bottom, 44 to 5 feet on
top. nave a sheet iron cover made
large enough to cover the pit and pro
ject six inches over the edge. Start a
nre in the bottom with shavings and
add by degrees a bushel of cobs, and
iei. mem get well aglow. Then add
three to four bushels more, and when
well ou fire add more, and so on, until
me ni is rounaing full. . If they burn
i aster on one side than the other side
lift the side that Is burning least with
n pole. If you have an old iron rod
long enough, lay it over the center of
me note so as to keep the sheet iron
from sagging. When all the cobs are
well aglow, even blazing freely cover
the hole with sheet Iron and seal the
puges witn earth airtight and leave It
until tbe next morning, when the char
coal can be taken out, and If the Job Is
well done there will be from nine to
twelve bushels. Farm, Stock and

Crooked Moldboarde for Plows.
An Ohio farmer In a communication
to National Stockman writes: "The
other day I was watching the effect of
land roller In a field, part of which
had been broken with a plow that bad
a crooaea ruoiauoara and part with a
plow having a straight moldboard. The
ground was broken when dry and hard,
but the crooked moldboard so crushed
and ground tbe soil while turning It
that the roller left it in quite a little
better condition than that which was
wedged over with a straight mold-
board. The latter draws the easier,
but It pulverizes less. The more crooked
the moldboard tie more crushing the
soli gets while being broken."
Lime on Acid Bolt
It appears to have been proved at
the Rhode Island station that many
plants need lime on acid soil. While a
few are Injured by It, particularly if
they are grown the same season that
tbe lime Is applied, most of the plants
usually grown In Rhode Island are
either uninjured by liming or else bene
fited In a greater or less degree. The
great benefit from lime upon the farm
of the experiment station having been
established, further experiments were
r-ouducted for tbe purpose of ascertain
lug if the form or combination in which
the lime Is applied to the soil has any
thing to do with Its effectiveness. The
various experiments conducted for this
purpose have shown that lime, to be of
the greatest possible use, must be ap
plied to the land In the form of air or
water slacked lime, or of calcium car
bonate (carbonate of lime). When ap
plied In the two first mentioned forms,
most of the lime passes sooner or later
In the soil into the form of carbonate
f line.
Experiment in Cow Feeding-.
New facts about cow feeding have
been learned by a remarkable experi
ment conducted by Director Jordan at
the New York station, the results of
which, soon to be published, will make
a sensation. Selecting a good Jersey
cow and getting ber in proper shape
for the test, he fed her for sixty days
with prepared foods that contained
practically no fat Everything that she
consumed was weighed and analyzed,
also the milk and all the excrement,
f- ..d and liquid. The figures show that
this cow gave in her milk forty pounds
more fiit than she consumed, while she
lidded thirty pounds to her weight and

Orchard Kept In Grass.
It Is possible by heavily mulching
orchards, where grass Is allowed to
grow, to keep the surface moist and
loose, so that the grass does no Injury.
But in such cases it will be found that
the tree roots run near the surface
where they naturally go to reach mois
ture and light. This makes such or
chards very liable to Injury by winter
freezing. It Is better to cultivate the
surface soil to the depth of three or
four Inches, as that makes the best
mulch, and also cuts off the tree roots
near the surface. But a better plan
is to train the head so low that tbe
branches will come near the ground.
This will cause the snow to lie as It
falls, making further mulching unnec
essary.
Co-operative Hosi Killinc. .
The farmers of Maine have circum
vented the beef trust. They have or
ganized 1,000 fresh pork and beef clubs
In that State, each club composed of I
ten members. The ten farmers belong
ing to a club arrange for a succession
of butcheries. That Is, a hog Is killed
every so many days during the winter
season and the fresh pork Is divided
into ten parts, each family getting one
part. This does not Include the bams
and other portions of the animal, which
are salted or pickled for future use.
The arrangement amounts to a co-operative
meat shop. The farmers lose
nothing and they get fresh pork all the
time. Des Moines Register.
Neata Foot OU.
Many farmers when they butcher a
cow throw away the hoofs as worth
less. They ought always to be used;
to make neats foot oil. Put them In a
kettle with plenty of water and boil
until all the oil is extracted. A set of
four feet will usually make a pint of
the oil, which should be skimmed
from the surface as it rises In boiling.
Tbe California Supreme Court Decide
Against riot-rant.
San Francisco, Dec. 18. Late this
afternoon the supreme court dispelled
the last hope of V. II. T. Durrant, the
murderer of Elanohe Lamont and Mm
nie Williams, by disposing in a sum
mary manner of his two appeals. '
In a written opinion, from tbe pen of
Unei Justice Beatty, which is con
enrred in by all but one of his col
leagues, the court affirms the jndgtnen
of Judge Bahrs, in remanding the pris
oner to San Qncntin until the time set
for his execution, but reverses that sen
fencing Durrant to be hanged on Xovem
ber 11, and remands the case to tbe
superior court, with instructions to pro
ceed according to law.
As the remittur was ordered issued
forthwith and the court holds that ex
ecution can only be stayed now by the
issuance of a certificate of probable
cause, it only remains to resentence the
condemned murderer, which will prob
ably be done tomorrow.
Justice Garoutte alone dissented from
this opinion, maintaining that Dur
rant's appeals should have been dis
missed, as the time required by law for
their perfection had been allowed to
lapse.

Tha interest in wheat has been any

deal, prioes holding comparatively nar
row. Taking the May delivery, which
is more nearly an index of market val-

has been oue of comparative firmness,
marked lute last week by the good ad
vance and a subsequent period of uncertainty.
The world's news affecting wheat
values lias been on the whole favora
ble to higher prices.
Public stocks in tills country have
not been increased as rapidly as for
merly; while the world's shipment to
Western Europe was liberal, they were
made up in great part by clearance of
flour from our own coasts, phenomen
ally large and highly encouraging. It
is believed the Australian crop will
show only a small exportable surplus,
there are recent reports of purchases
on the Pacific coast for South Afrioa,
and the Liverpool Corn News has pub
lished lurther statements pointing to
tha important shortage in Russia's sup.
ply of breastiiffs and feedstuffs. The
Argentine exportable surplus continues
matter of uncertainty, and the trade
is less interested than formerly, but of
course will closely watoh the movement
as soon as the new crop is ready, now
a matter of only a few weeks. Receipts
of spring wheat in the Northwest con
tinue large, but It is the time of the
year to expect such. The cash demand
for wheat and flour is fairly good.
the corn market has beeu a sluggish
affair most of the time for a fortnight
past, prices narrow, interest at a mini
mum, the undertone one of easiness,
increased receipts are expected now
that farmers are practically through
husking and shelling, and in the ah
sence of an urgent shipping demand,
e inside lug the large offerings, specu
lative support is lacking. Exports are
fair, but ought to be much greater,
and a large visible supply acts
something of a weight on values. It it
worthy of note, however, that at exist
ing low prices a good deal of corn in
the aggregate is being shipped out of
Chicago, with the close of lake navl

Victoria Lodging Houae.
Victoria, B. C, Dec. 13. Through
the courage and promptitude of Lily
Baldwin, a Portland girl, a life was
saved here under sensational circum
stances, yesterday evening. There had
been an explosion of gasoline in the oil
tent factory of Tryon & Co., and the
entire premises were soon blazing. On
the upper floor was the American lodging-house,
whose proprietress, Mrs.
Fox, was ill in bed. In the confusion
she was forgotten until the Portland
girl, a lodger, remembered her. She
ran upstairs and carried down tbe
landlady, who by that time was uncon
scious from suffocation. Both escaped
with slight burns, although their dan
ger was imminent.

A schema to increase the efficiency

is based on the argument tlmt if oil has
pacifying effect when distributed on
the water in the Immediate neighbor
hood of the shin in trouble, Its effei
would be magnified it the oil could ho
applied at a distance all about the ship,
thus creating a calm circle. In which
the ship could ride In safety until tl
storm had spent Its fury. Ilia proposi
tion is to shoot saturated sponges or cot
ton from a pneumtttio gun, that heir
preferable to a powder gun, as there
would be no danger of igniting the oil
soaked sponge. Borne people Interested
in shipping have been impressed with
the idea and application is to be made
to congress for an appropriation to test
its efllcicnoy.

Recent French experiments have do
veloped the ooriotis and miexpected fact
that oertain persons possess a magnetic
polarity that is, they act as magnets,
having north and south poles, Hooh a
person, when completely undressed
and placed near a sensitive galvanome
ter, will, when turned on a vertical
axis, cause deflection first in one dl
reel ion and then in the opposite, just
as s magnet would. All persons do not
possess this polarity. 1'rofessor Mu
rani, an Italian, npoti whom the experi
ment was tried, exhibited this phenom
enon, and it is was found that his
breast corresponded to a north pole and
bis back to a south pole.
