A teamster, whose name Is Rollle
Smith, says that one of his employers
kept three large teams, and gave or
ders to trot them whenever a level or
the road permitted. One time, being
laid up by sickness, the employer
promised to give a suit of clothes when
he got well to the driver who kept his
team In the best order. Smith, who
believed In walklug large horses, re
solved to win the suit. It was six
weeks before the boss was around. The
tlrst day of walking, the horses hav
Ing 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
Ills rounds earlier. In ten days the
team would do as much lu a day on a
walk as either of the other two, which
were Jogged at every opportunity, and
began to gain wonderfully In tlesli and
appearance. The same quantity of
grain was given us before, but he
thinks he rubbed them a little more
he could not help It, they were so hand
some. He also frequently allowed
them after working to roll In the loam
of a freshly-plowed Held or garden,
which they greatly enjoyed. Then they
were cleaned, Brst with a broom, then
with a rice root brush, followed by a
big cloth—rarely or never with a cur
rycomb. When the employer was able
to visit the stable he did not know
Hmlth's team—could scarcely believe It
belonged to him. After having all the
horses hooked up to wagons and see
ing this team walk away from the oth
ers, he gave orders to "walk your
horses," and took “ Rollle” to n llrst-
elass place and told him to pick out the
best suit In the store, for the lesson
learned was worth it.—Furm Journal.

There are comparatively few Anierl
can farmers who tuke the pains requir
ed to keep a hedge neatly trimmed and
within reasonable Itoiiml« of growth.
Most of the hedges we see have be
come overgrown, and as their tops spire
upwards, the undergrowth that Is re
quired to tnuke a compact hedge near
the grouud 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 full foliage. This checks growth
greatly. Hut 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
lire used, and the hedge Is cut back so
that an even cut will prune off some
thing of tills year’s growth at the top
anil on each side. Hut the hedge,
though pretty when thus trimmed, Is,
If kept In condition, more expensive
than any other kind of fence.

Intelligent Western feeders contend
that they get better results by feeding

fodder—a ration that Is quite de

A scheme to increase the efficiency
of oil to still the waves of the ocean in
a storm has been thought out by W il
liam Guthrie, of Chicago. His notion
is based on the argument that if oil has
a pacifying effect when distributed on
the water in the immediate neighbor
hood of the ship in trouble, its effect
would be magnified if the oil could he
applied at a distance all about the ship,
thus creating a calm circle, in which
the ship could ride in safety until the
storm had spent its fury. His pro]a>si-
tion is to shout saturated sponges or cot
ton from a pneumatic gun, that being
preferable to a powder gnn, as there
would be no danger of igniting the oil-
soaked sponge. Some people interested
in shipping have been impressed with
the idea and application is to be made
to congress fur an appropriation to test
its efficiency.
Scientists tell us that every element
necessary to the support of man is con
tained within limits of an egg shell, in
the best proportions and in the most
palatable form.
