the wisest view which has been taken OF
'the arrears of pension act is, that it is

other in repairing the evil. Pride OF

Calls on Horses.

Sore backs and sore shoulders catise
great suffering among large numbers of
horses and mules, and the owners of
these animals should everywhere De ia
miiiar with the proper remedies for
these evils. Most saddle sores may be
cured by clean, soft saddle blanket,
padded so IS to take the bearing of the
saddle entirely off the sores, the back to
be washed clean daily with soap and wa
ter. A neighbor Of ours, who has mad
much to do with plantation mules and
horses, and who is veterinary authority
in the neighborhood, says he has cured
the worst of sore backs with coal oil,
keeping the sore clean, and applying the
remedy several times daily. Calomel
sometimes cures the worst of these
sores. We know several persons who
have great faith in old leather. The sole
of an old shoe, burned to crisp. pull
verified and sifted, and mixed with calo-
mel, and applied to the sore. Others
have known such sores to be cured with
shoe coal dust alone. Collars that injure
work horses and mules should be scraped
clean with knife, washed in soap and
water, and protected by padding so that
the bearing will be above and below the
sore. Washing the shoulders in cool
water will prevent sore shoulders if the
collar fits WELL It is cruel to compel a
work animal to wear a collar that is bad
fit, and that tortures the animal all the
time it is at work. These are general and
simple remedies in the reach Of all; for
obstinate sores that will not yield to
common remedies good book on farm
ing will be consulted or veterinary
surgeon.

After Marriage.

One frequent cause of trouble in mar
ried life is want of openness in business
matters. A husb band marries pretty.
thoughtless girl, who has been used to
taking no more thought as to how she
should be clothed than the lilies of the
field. He begins by not liking to refuse
any of her requests. He will not hint,
so long as he can help it, at care in trif-
ing expenses-he does not like to asso-
ciate himself in her mind with disapoint-
ments and self-denials. And she, who
would have been willing enough, in the
sweet eagerness to please of her girlish
love, to give up any whims or fancies Of
her own whatever. falls into habits of
careless extravaganza, and feels herself
injured when, at last remonstrance
comes. How much wiser would have
been perfect openness in the beginning!
1--WE have just so much money to spend
this Summer. Now, shall we arrange
matters thus or thus?. was the question I
heard very young husband ask his still
younger bride, not long ago; and all the
womanhood i'll her answered to this de-
mand upon it, and her help at planning
despised, though. hitherto she had "fed
upon roses, and lain among the lilies of
life.' / am speaking not of marriages
that are no neutrality-suspicious. Venus has
welded Vulcan, because Vulcan pros
pered at his forge-but marriages where
two true hearts have set out together,
for loves sake, to learn the lessons Of
life, and to live together until death shall
part them. And one of the first lessons
for them to learn is to trust each otaer
entirely. The most frivolous girl of all
''the rosebud garden OF girls, !" If she trn-
ly loves, acquires something of womanli-
ness from her love, and is ready to plan
and help end make her small sacrifices
for the general good. Try her, and you
will see.

FIELD AND FARM.


Mr.. Carey r. Smith, Webster City,
Iowa; reports to The Homestead that
the cost of securing his hay crop this
year-l62 tons from 30 acres--was not
over so cents ton. A man and a boy
did all the work except moving away.
One of the labor-savers used was hay
loader.
The cause of IA horse soldering is sal
ivation produced by acrid weeds in the
pasture. 1t is injurious to, the horses
health. 1t may be relieved by giving a
pint or so of dry bran, with little salt.
1t can only be prevented by feeding the
horse upon hay or corn fodder. Few
pastures at this season are free from To-
bella and other similar acrid weeds,
which produce this effect upon horses
only.
Samuel T. X. Prime. of Dwight, ILL.,,
an authority in agricultural affairs, argues
that the drainage is one of the necessi-
ties of all prairie countries, and urges
the inventive mind to set about solving
the problem of machine for ditching
preparatory to the laying Of the tiles.
He contends that machine of this kind
is the crying need of the country.
The Farm and Workshop thus be-
friends the worm: "Worms are among
the best friends of the farmer; they are
great borers. They go down into the
earth. and the holes they make enables
the air containing carbonic acid to pene-
trate down the mineral matter below the
surface, by which the fertilizing qualities
are changed and fitted for the nourish-
ment of plants. The worms, by opening
and casting up the soil, does for the
farmer what he does COR himself by
blowing. The farmer is indebted to the
worm for producing plant food, and to
the plants we are indebted for our own
food.
The largest ''grain farm of the South
near Powelps Mills, in Green County,
Ga, comprises $500 acres, Of which
300 were in wheat and oats this year,
600 in corn, 700 in cotton and 200 in
moving. From the latter 1000, 900
| pounds of Bermuda hay was taken,
worth $4,000" Forty miles of rail
fence Ito be replaced by barb wire) in
closes the estate, and twenty-five miles
of road lead through it, all private and
in first-class condition. From fifty to
one hundred hands are employed; a
"screw pulverizer," worked by one man
and six mules, "ploughs forty acres a
day" The proprietors, Messers. Powell
and Davenport, who are both under
thirty years Of age, contemplate mule
breeding as an addition to their success

!. Peafowls.

=
Excepting the pheasants, which are
not at all hardy and very expensive, the
peafowl is the handsomest bird under
omestication, but it isuseless to attempt
raise it where there is not plenty of
room-a large lawn or other grass land
near by. They want plenty of exercise,
and unless they have it, will become sick
ly and die, for they cannot bear confine-
ment. It is not a good policy to ATTEMPT
to keep them where young chickens are
kept, or older ones, either, for that mat
ter, as they are cross to other poultry
and usually severe on young chicks, kill
ing off whole focks at time if not pre-
vented from doing SO. They, are very
fond of many kinds of vegetables and Of
all kinds of small fruit, and it usually
does not pay well to attempt to raise
them both on the same place, especially
if the place is a small one, and to at
tempt to restrain them by clipping one
wing mars their beauty exceedingly.
Peafowls generally 60 in pairs or trios,
and when the hen wants to lay she
steals her nest. making it where neither
man, animal or her mate can readily find
it. In this nest she lays two or three
eggs, matches her young, and then keeps
her brood effectually in the back ground
until they are well grown, when she
gradually accustoms them to come around
the house and barn. Occasionally, but
not often, two broods are raised in one
season, though but one bird is the result
OF each hen during years labor.

How Women Keep Expense
Books.


From the Atlanta Constitution.
It is touching sight to see a woman
begin to make UP her expenses having
firmly resolved to put down every cent
she spends, so as to find out how to
economic, and where all the money
goes. Procuring small book, she makes
a due entry, and ON the Monday after
the first Saturday in which her husband
brings home his pay, she carefully tears
the margin Oft newspaper and, with a
blunt pencil, strikes trial balance some
thing III this way:

on is 5O.93-bnt, hold on, I ought not to
enter that, because when she returns it;
it'll go down. That was $49. 93, and what
have done with that?
Then she puts down the figures, leav-
ing out the item to save time-a process
which enables her to leave out most of
the items to where round sum is in
vovled, on the supposition that they have
already been put down. AS thus:
Six dollars and fourteen cents fer meat
and 10 cents for celery, and 10 cents on
the street cars, and a bad cent piece 1
got in exchange, and 1921 paid the
milkman-who owes me 10 cents-that's

ceries-they were $3.50 or $3.50 and I
don't remember which they were, but /
guess it must have been $3.50, for the

dime he would give me half dollar,
which would make even change, an I

Finally she sums up her trial-balance
sheet, and finds that it foots up S64.2S,
originally. She goes over the list sever
the items are correct, and she is Just
about in despair, when her good angel
hints that there may be possible mis-
take in the addition. Acting upon the
suggestion, she foots up the column and
finds that the total is $44.28, and that &C
cording to the principles of the arith-
metic she ought to have $685.. Then
she counts her cash several times, the
result varying from 81 40 up to S1.97, but
then she happily discovers that she has
been installing So gold piece for a
cent, and remembers that she gave the

A Favored Woman.

London Letter in the Baltimore Sun.
The princess of Wales, now in her
thirty eighth year, is looking scarcely a
day older than when, on March 10,
nineteen years ago, she stood at the al
tar by the side of her young husband.
Nor do advancing years change, save to
deepen and strengthen, the regard and
affection in which she is held by the
people of England. By common consent
she is placed beyond the region of crit
icism. "What the prince does" is the
topic of free discussion-praise or blame
every night at score Of clubs and in
drawing rooms innumerable. But the
good taste of "what the princess does
is never for moment called into
question.
