BAN1sHED Enthusiastically last was
the quietest ever known for the size of the
crowd, and there was the least appearance Of
drunkenness and rowdyism. To say that this
happy state of things was the natural Sc
quence of the closing up of the bar.rooms
would be saying something that everybody
knows and none will question. From some
little taints of breath, and few funny didos
about our "sandy fat" horse swapping ground
it might be inferred that some of the ex-bars
had sprung leak at the key.hole, but there
was such decided improvement on former
sales. days that no one was disposed to say a
word by way of murmuring, and all congrat'
ulated themselves that the order was so good

BALKY HoRsEs.-If the horse when he
balks, can have his attention diverted there
is usually no trouble in starting him. This
may be done in various ways of which the
following are few that have been employed :
Take the horse out of the shafts and turn
him around several times quite rapidly. This
will make him entirely dizzy and lead him to
forget that he does not wish to draw the load.
A stout twine twisted around the fore.leg has
been used as a remedy with good results A
string tied around the ear has the same effect.
We have seen horses of the balkie,t sort start.
ed in moment by putting lump of earth
into their mouths. Even piece of sugar or
d handful of fresh grass will 50 divert the at
tentiou of baulker that he will often start
off without trouble Some mild treatment
like these that set the animal to thinking of
something foreign to his work is vastly better
than any amount of whipping, and is much
easier of application.

LITTLE IMPORTANT TH1NGs-It is small
matter to take the horses across the field for
their water 1t seems to cost nothing; yet
if farmers time, or that of his hired man, is
worth anything, it costs great deal In the
course of year. 1t is small matter to
chop each days wood upon the day it is used,
and thus have it all fresh but fifteen minutes
in harvest time is worth more than in Janu-
ary. Besides, there are vastly, more econom,
ical methods of making 6rewood than with
an axe. 1t is very little matter to tighten
Il loose nut, but it sometimes costs life and
limb not to do it. A pear tree here, and
peach tree there, cost so little that one is in
clined to think they are Of no account; but
when the fruit is ripe they are appreciated
A single step from one room to another is
"only one STEP" but the thought of stairway
made out of these during life time, is enough
almost to make d wonan's back ache. Look
we'll to the details, that the little things are
right, for it pays in the end.-Americaa Agrt'

RoBBING AN EDIToR.-Soon after the com
pletion of the plank road between Detroit
and Lansing, period of twenty.seven OF
twenty.eight years ago, the editor of news
paper located about halfway between started
for Detroit one evening on the wagon of 8
teamster. After travelling about an hour
the vehicle was stopped by high way robber
The teamster shelled out about S12 but when
the editor showed up, the "pot" only reached
so cents.
"Y ou We hidden your money in your boots !!
shouted the robber, and he made the editor
pull them off. No more cash being found,
the robber insisted that coat and vest should
come off for close search, but at the end OF
the search he angrily demanded:
"What sort of man are you to set out on
ajourney with only so cents in your pocket ?"
~ am getting my ride for nothing and |
was going to pay my expenses in Detroit by
advertising the hotel in which I STOP"
"How much advertising will you give me
to let you OFF,"
"A straight column per week for four
weeks"
"Well, I'll take it, and the teamster is the
witness to our bargain. I'll send in the copy
in time for the next ISSUE"
The robber presently moved off into the
woods and as the vehicle once more rolled
over the plank road, the editor rubbed his
hands together and chuckled:
"Egad! but isn't this lift for me!

chant. "but you see 1 am very popular, and
am asked by my friends to step across the

I'll do" said Chrysler, Frightening up, hire
me as your clerk and send me across to drink
with your friends, and I won't charge you a

How A CYCLONE LooKs.-The recent
terrible cyclone in Macoupin county, Illinois,
is thus described by Engineer Cutter, of the
Chicago and Alton express train, which was
running at full speed and met the tempest
near Carlinsville. Mr.. Cutter saw out on the
prairie what he supposed to be straw or
haystack on fire. Ashe approached it he
saw that it moved rapidly toward the track,
and then realized that it was cyclone of the
most appalling character. 1t was dark,
cloud reaching from the ground
high in the air, where it disappeared into
the clouds. 1t was black and dangerous look
ing. and whirled with terrible velocity. Its
voice, heard even in the distance above the
rumbling and roar of the train, was frightful
in the extreme. The cyclone seemed to trav.
ell at the rate Of twenty miles an hour, and
was so fast approaching that the moving
train must in moment inevitably strike it.
Mr.. Cutter shut off his engine and applied
his air brake just in time, for despite the pre-
caution, the train touched the cyclones outer
edge. Mr. Gutter describes the sight as the
most horrible he ever saw. The air was lurid
and dark and hot, as from All oven. Every.
thing in the pathway of the storm was demol-
ished and crushed Barns, fences, sheds, tel.
egraph poles, and everything at all fragile
was swept up. Mr. Cutter and his fireman
crouched down in the tender, and for mo.
ment feared that the whole train would be
overturned The cars were only held on the
train by their safety chains. The passengers
who at first wondered at the stop, with blanch.
ed cheeks and terrified countenances viewed
the terrible monster of air in its work.-Phil

FARM TooLs.-A certain number of tools,
and some skill in their use, will often save
the farmer much time in sending for me-
chanic and some expense in paying him.
Every farmer should be able to make repairs
on his wagon. gates and buildings. A room,
or portion of it, should be devoted to keep.
ing tools pin or nail should be inserted
for each one to hang on, and the name OF each
tool written or painted under the pin, that it
may be promptly returned to its place and
any missing one detected. Keep every tool in
its place-do not wait for more convenient
season, but return every one to its pin the
moment it is done with. If left out Of place
moment it will he likely to remain week
and cause loss Of time in looking tor 1t a
hundred times greater than in replacing 1t
promptly. Keeping everything in its place
is habit costing nothing when formed. The
tools be hammer, saw, augers, brace and
bits, gimlets, screw driver, wrench, two planes,
cbisels, mallet, files and rasI draw knife, saw
set, trowel and box with compartments for
different sized nails, screws, nuts and bolts.
Common farm implements and tools, such as
hoes, spades, shovels, forks, rakes, scythes,
may be in the same room, on the opposite
side, and the same precaution taken to keep
every one in its place.
