Lighting the Barn Safely. One cannot be too careful using lights of any kind In barns, but there la little danger If a lantern is used and bo me way provided so that it may be securely hung beyond the reach of danger. The illustration shows a sim ple way of doing this. If there are several places in the barn where light Is likely to be needed stretch a strand of smooth fence wire so that it will . hang taut over these places first slid' Ing on another strip of wire with a ring and with a snap at the other end. When the lantern is to be put In place simply snap over the bale of the lan tern as shown in the illustration. If the lantern is to be placed where there is little chance of any one run ning against It, a long hoop may be made of one end of the wire, Instead of the snap, and the bale of the lan tern slipped over it By making the hook long and pinching the upper end so that there will be Just room enough THE BARN LANTERN. to slip the handle of the lantern be tween, the danger of knocking it off Is much lessened, although this plan Is not as safe as the snap. Small Tarda for Poultry. When it is not possible to Bupply a range of considerable size for the fowls and they must be practically kept in yards, an excellent plan is to divide the yard into two or three sec tlons, according to its size, and treat them In the following manner: Plow or spade each yard, and in one or two, if divided Into three spaces, plant some early vegetables that will require some cultivation radishes, for example, When the crop is taken out, turn the fowls into this yard and plant the others In the same way. When the yards are divided into three, one of them may be prepared thoroughly and grass seeds or oats or millet sown in it, with the vegetables In the second yard, while the fowls occupy the third. When the grass or small grain gets two or three inched high, turn the fowls in this yard and sow the soil in the yard they occupied, in a like .man ner. By the time they have cleaned out the grass lot, the one in which the vegetables are grown will be ready for them to scratch over. It is surprising how well the fowls will do under this plan, even though each yard Is very small. Good . Pig Trough. O. 0. Burch, of Nebraska, sends Iowa Homestead a plan for making a pig trough to prevent the hogs get ting in it "I have mine," says Mr. THE TREAT OF TREATING. Caponlxing should be performed when the cockerels are three or four months old. After the fowls begin to moult they should be given a little ground bona once every day. Exercise is cheaper than medicine. The brood still under the mother's care should be liberally fed. By giving young fowls a free range it will aid materially to develop a strong, healthy constitution. Fowls will eat a great deal of granu lated charcoal. As a preventive of disease it Is Invaluable. Poultry should always have access to green food when possible, and when they cannot it should be supplied. It is easier to keep fowls In a good condition now than to allow them to run down and then build up again. Leg weakness occurs from various causes, the most prolific of which Is overfeeding, resulting In indigestion. Corn, when fed. to the hens by It self, has a tendency to fatten rather than produce the most profitable egg laying. Tarred paper is better than almost any other material for lining the in side of cuupK auU houses. It Is aloO excellent for driving away lice. The only sure and safe way to keep large flocks, whether young or old, is to separate them into small lots, each one to occupy a place for itself. The distinguishing characteristics of the Sylesbury breed of ducks are their fecundity and early maturity, com bined with their great aptitude to fat ten. Beaaon of the Seeming Follies of the Wretchedly Poor. A charity worker, new to her task, was recently holding forth In tones of despair edged with exasperation upon the follies of the very poor in expendi ture. "Sometimes lfs money Ilka the birthday party for the twins that used up half the sum I collected for Mrs. Mooney to carry ber through the win ter; and sometimes It's labor like that poor little weak-chested seam stress, Mrs. Fresneau, sitting up two whole nights to work on the dress her Marie graduated from the grammar school in; but the foolishness of it is enough to drive a body wild! And they can't seem to see how crazy It is. Sometimes they half apologize if they see you disapprove, and sometimes they stiffen up and get vexed, as if you were impertinent to criticise. But either way they're not really sorry, and you know they'd do it again. It's beyond my comprehension how grown people can be so childishly uncalculat Ing." "Is it?" said an older woman. "It's trying, I know, and often there seems no excuse, but I think I understand. GOVERNOR Uses Pe-ru-na For Colds and Excellent OF OREGON In His Family Finds It Remedy. I s js.

There seems to be no good reason why an organization among farmers for mutual benefit should not be as successful as similar organizations in other lines. It is not intended that such organization should increase the cost of farm produce to the consumer, for this is unnecessary. But there is certainly room for a plan which will enable the producer to market his crops at a price which will give him a fair return for his labor. The subject is too large to treat ex haustlvely in one item, for there are many essential things to do to make such an organization a success. The Idea is worth serious consideration, but it must be based on business prin ciples, the lack of. which has caused the failure of nearly every attempt at organization among soil workers. Here are a few of the things which must be done to win success: Every mem ber should bear a proportion of the expense in accordance with the pro portion of his crop to that of other members. Crops of unequal quality should be marketed on their merits. In other words, the grower of Infe rior fruit or any other crop, must not expect to share equally with the man whose shipment is of the first grade. The manager should be selected with care and then be given proper control. If these few essentials seem too for midable, work up to them by combin ing with one or two growers whose crops are of the same quality as your own and select a good commission man and all work together. A year or two in this line will give you faith In the larger organization plan. In dianapolis News.

In feeding ground bone to young fowls, be sure to have it fresh. Young chickens may be fed almost anything that Is clean and wholesome, The dust heap is absolutely neces sary for fowls. Feather pulling is a vice that comes from confinement and Idleness. Allow no filth of any kind to accu mulate within reach of the fowls.

The turkeys would go to the oak groves ln the morning and stay there nearly all day, and soon got themselves Into fine mar ket condition. As soon as they are well fattened, they should be sold off, as they show a tendency to go off con dition when the supply of acorns be gins to fail. A Make-Bhlft Ice Honae.

AnrnniTT of the Horse, Professor Lydekker, ln Knowledge and Scientific News, discusses, ln some detail, the origin of the modern hrrsp. He finds that the horse of neo lithic times was not specifically dis tinct from the horse of tne present vvhilP there is no doubt that tne norse of that period was used by man for food, there seems to be no conciusiv evidence as to whether it was domes ticated or not. His own opinion, now- ever, is that It was probably domesti cated. The horse of that time was closely allied to the tarpan, or semi- wild horse, that lived ln soutnern uus- .1. nn n a nonnrv SCO. This WBS S hoMnaned." short-legged, large-neaa ed beast It seems probable that the domesticated horses of the Germans of Caesar's time were derived, rrom this breed. The Egyptians hod horses as early as 1000 B. C. These were long-maned, more like the Arab horses anil enme from Assyria. Where the Assvrians obtained them is unknown, but it was probably from southern A.tn whom thia lone-maned breed has been developed, in all probability, as the result of long-continued domes tication. Our modern horse is a cross between these two breeds, with a fur ther mixture of the Arab horse. This Arab horse, too, was Itself a descend ant of the earlier long-maned horse. The origin of the long-maned horse is a matter of doubt but Professor Ly dekker thinks it may have been from an extinct Indian species. Many a light-weight man has a heavy-weight air about him.
