Handling Colts.

tits now the season for putting colts
at their first work, and as many farmers
are supposed to have sold surplus
horses since last seasons active work,
depending upon putting young stock. to
work. il is of the highest Importance
that this work be very carefully COM
menced, and the muscular and joint
powers very gradually brought out,
otherwise the colt will become discour-
aged and learn to dislike the approach
OF the driver and harness. 1t is well to
put the harness upon the colt a few days
before calling upon him to do any work,
letting him stand in the stable with the
harness on, the chains, if there be such
to the harness, hanging loose, that he
may become accustomed to the rattle
about his heels. Take him out with his
harness on, driving him around the lot
or along the road, either single or with
the beast he is to work with. When he
is taken to the field. it is well, in place
Of taking whip with you, to take a lit
tie oats in sack and pail. When he
gets worried or discouraged with the
dranght You put upon him, speak gent
ly, give him little oats in the pail, let
ting him stand for few moments, and
you will be surprised at his renewed
courage and willingness to pull. Say
but little, make your motions in a very
quiet and matter-of-fact way. as though
you took it for granted he considered
himself fgil-grown horse, and yet do
not yourself forget that he is young and
green and as soft as half-ripe squash.
If you expect the work of six year old
horse out of him, then you are an ass,
and if you attempt to whip workout OF
him, then your next door neishbor
should have gou arrested for hnacy.-

Small Industries on the Farm. ;,

The comparative profit of large and
small farms. is a question that will not
stay settled. In few cases the. subdi-
vision OF labor and economy. of system
tell favorably on returns; generally,
however, the want; of capital, ineapacity
for systematic effort, or little wastes
and leakages make ambitious undertake
ings comparatively Improbable. One
advantage in the small farm system is
the necessary appropriation Of every
source OF income, the utilization Of
every capacity for production, and the
employment Of the labor of every menu
Der Of the rural family. The French
afford o good illustration of this idea.
No fragment of time. no product of
growth, no ray Of sunshine or drop of
rain is permitted to be lost. The care
of the silkworm and the keeping Of
poultry are among these minor indus
tries that afford employment to the ex-
tremes of youth and age. The compar-
alive profit of small and large flocks of
chickens only illustrates in an exagger-
ated fashion the difficulty in getting a
profit out Of big farms. One in o thou
sand viii conduct poultry operations
probably, on . large scale BY observing
with extreme care the conditions that
made q small flock profitable. If the
birds are allowed free range without
crowding, pure-air and water. and the
needed variety OF food, vegetable and
animal. which small flock obtains in
its voluntary circuit Of the farm. they
will be healthy and profitable. But It
is extremely difficult to fulfill all these
conditions. IN r Hi6nne. - =

Hot Cake to an Elephant.

A writer from India tells the follow
ing: One day two ladies were watching
some elephants being fed near their
camp in the jnngles of the Central Prov
inces, when the elder of the two unfor-
tunately took it into her head to offer
one of the elephants very hot chapat-
ii, which is cake made of -four and
baked on the fire over thin plate, and
consequently, when fresh made, is burn
ing hot Elephants areusually fed with
these twice o day, but they are always
allowed to cool before being given.
This one was still SO hot that it hurt the
beasts trunk, for. he dropped it with the
squickness of lightning and with shout,
ut the same time striking blow on the
hand of the lady, who he of course con.
sidered had meant to hurt him inten-
ionally.s Had she been but a little
nearer, and the beast not at the full
length of his chain, the same blow on
the head would certainly have killed
her on the spot. AS it was, hand
was in most painful state for weeks
afterward. Next morning, when twas
time to start for the next encampment,
ladder first and sat nearest to the ele-
plants head proceeded to, do SO as
usual, but as soon as she approached
the elephant he began to trumpet and
throw water over her. This he did sew.
ersl times, tin at last she had to give up
trying to ascend, and another lady took
her place. The elephant. however, per.
mitted her to St.near his tail, but he re.I
