C a re o f th e T e a m . 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. K h c ii r l n ic H e d g e s . 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. Ity to convert sugar and starch In tha feed Into fat. Should this fact be con­ firmed by repeated tests, It may upset some o f the accepted theories about balanced rations. Indeed, some of the Intelligent Western feeders contend that they get better results by feeding ti. dr cheap corn, grain or meal, with fodder—a ration that Is quite de­ ficient In protein or nitrogenous mat­ ter, though rich In fat—than they do when a well balanced ration Is glveu. Now If a eow cau convert starchy ele­ ments Into fat, as Jordan believes, why may she not Increase the per cent, of solids In her milk, according as her food Is varied?

The leuves become weak, dry quickly and drop off more easily than does corn eut at the same stage o f ripe­ ness before frost. Then, too, corn that Is cut while green.

It Is believed—we may say proved—that the volatile oils of forage plants play an Important part In promoting digestion. The apple which grows on the topmost brunch and Is properly barreled uml ripened digests easily- becuuse It is not only mature, but because It carries with It an appetizing aroma, and In­ stinctively we get a double enjoyment from such an apple, by smelling It, and by eating It; while the apple grown In the shade on the lower brunches and left in front of the grocery store for two or three weeks Is-fore It Is used contains very little distinctive aroma. Is unpalatable and bard to digest for two reasons—It Is not mature and It carries with It little volatile and aro­ matic oils.—The Cultivator. To K e e p H heep P ro p e rly .

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.
