Whats Bronco.

fale, sedentary reader, who slttest
in the calm seclusion Of thy home and
questions TO the omniscient
opinion=mouider, we will emil ghten thy
childish mind; and give yon some point
ers which We lave been at g7eat pains to /!
gather. We use the word pains ad=
visedly, and in its fullest sense. "A
bronco is horse: lie has four legs, like
the saw-horse, but he is decidedly more
skittish. The bronco is of gentle deport-
ment and modest mien, but there isn't 3
real safe place about him. There is
nothing mean about the bronco though,
he is perfectly reasonable and acts on
principle. Ali he asks is to be let alone,
but he does ask this and even insists on
it. He is firm in this matter and no
kind of argument can shake his detere
minatien. There is bronco that lives
out some miles from this city. We
know him right well. One day man
roped him and tried to put saddle on
him. The bronco looked sadly at him,
shook his Head and begged. the fellow, as
plain as could be, to 60 away and not try
to interfere With bronco who was sim
ply engaged in the pursuit OF his own
happiness, but the man came on with the
saddle and continued to aggress. Then
the bronco reached ont with his right
hind foot and expostulated with him, SO
that he died. When thoroughly reused,
the bronco is quite fatal, and il you can
get close enough to him to examine his
cranial structure, will find cavity just
above the eye where the bump Of remorse
should be. The bronco is what the cow
boys cali "high strung" # you want to
know just how high he is strung, climb
up on his apex. We didn't travel far,
but the ride was mighty e1hiIarating
while at lasted. We got on with great
1pomp and derrick but we didn't put on
any unnecessary style when we went to
get off. The beast eyinced considerable
surprise when, we took up our location
upon his dorsal fin. He seemed to think
= amoment and then he gathered up his
loins and delivered 3 ,yolley Of heels and
hardware, . straight out from the
shoulder. The recoil was fearful. We
saw that our seat was going to be com
tested, and we began to make motions to
dismount, but the beast had got under
way by this time so we breathed silent
hymn and tightened our grip. He now
went of into 9 spasm Of tall stifaegged
bucks. He pitched US up SO high that,
every time We started down, We would
meet him coming up on another trip.
Finally he gave us one grand, farewell
boost and we Glove the armament and

until our toss ached from the iowness ot

hear the music Of the spheres. Then Me

The Beet Sugar Problem.

Our friends of the Ohio Farmer seem
to differ from our recent remarks in re-
gard to the present impossibility of
making beet sugarin America. But the
0. F. is clearly misinformed upon sew
eral points, and especially in two very
important points; for beets are not sugar
beets, and so tons of sugar beets per
acre have eve been produced in this
country. OF field beets and mangels
even, we doubt very seriously if so tons
have ever been grown; 80 or 35 tons
may have been, but this yield has been
produced only by heavy manuring and
high culture, such as would produce so
or 100 bushels of corn per acre. HAY
ing had a good deal of experience in
growing roots and sugar beets, we are
free to say that IA tons of sugar beets
worth $40 per acre, may pay the farmer
In some cases, as when the season is
very favorable; but that he would do
much better to grow 80 tons of mangels
or common field sugar beets mot suit
able for sugar, ~however,) just as easily,
that would be worth So a ton or more
to feed to COWS or beef cattle, or even
hogs to make wholesome sweet pork.
And then it seems to have been shown
by the repeated failures of the manu-
%facturers that SIS a ton is more than can
be afforded for the beets. We are in
favor of every industry that can be made
available to add to the of our
agriculture, but so far beet sugar-mak-
ing i'll America has had so unfortunate
a destiny that we feel it to be unwise to
try to boom it up.-Rural New Yorker.

Madras curtains come in q variety of
lovely patterns. They drape gracefully,
and are charming additions to o room

Fashionable bedrooms now have the

bedroom windows.
Marble-top tables or mantelpieces are
now cen They are either COW

Things Worth Knowing.

l. That fish may be scaled much cas-

a minute.
2. That fish may as we'll be scaled, if
desired, before packing down in salt,

4. That milk which Ii turned or
changed may be sweetened and rendered
fit for use again by stirring in q little
soda.
5. That salt will curd1e new milk;
hence, in preparing milk porrige, gray

until the dish is prepared.
6. That fresh meat, after beginning
to sour, will sweeten if placed out OF
doors in the cool over night.
7. That clear boiling water will re-
move tea and many fruit stains. Pour
the water through the stain and thus
prevent its spreading ove the fabric.
8. That ripe tomatoes will removeink
and other stains from white cloth, also
from the hands.
8. That a tablespoonful of turpentine
boiled with your white clothes will aid
the whitening process.
10. That boiled starch is much i'm

How I Broke a Spirited Horse.

N. Y. Tribune. When a young man and
breeding horses I found on taking up a
nearly thoroughbred flly to break to
harness that she was very high-spirited
and nervous, and that unless Twas partic-
ularly careful she might take to kicking
and rearing during the process, with at
tempts to run away. first bitted her
well by letting her walk around a short
time for several days in succession, in
a strong fenced yard of ample dimen-
sions. I then gradually accustomed
her to the harness standing in the sta
bic, letting her first look at it piece by
piece, and then smell and rub her nose
and head against it, then placed it up
on her and led her out and around the
premises to look at the different We
hicles and touch them with her nose.
After a few days of such exercise I
hitched her up to a sleigh-m the open
road, so nothing could obstruct the
start-alongside of quite a fast trotting
and very gentle gelding. Some snow
had fallen the night before, and only a
few sleighs had passed over it, Just
enough to show the track. One man
stood at her head to hold her, while an
other jumped into the sleigh to drive.
All ready, he touched the gelding with
his whip, and he instantly started at a
rapid gait. The flly gave a wild jump
and then attempted to kick up behind,
but her mate in the harness moved so
rapidly she had no time for such action
in fact had to gallop smartly to keep
up to the others rapid trot. After go
ing a couple of miles in this way she be-
gun to tire a little, when the driver
Stacked up the gelding to a slower pace,
and she settled into q square trot.
Soon after this he turned the sleigh
and returned home, gradually trotting
slower and slower, till the last half
mile, which he finished in q walk. The
profused sweat caused from her first
rapid action had nearly dried up when
embarrassed and put into the stable.
She was then blanketed and when well
cooled rubbed down. We used her with
this fast horse alone-it being necessary
because she herself had q fast natural
gait-for over eight months before har-

The sick Room.

In selecting a sick-room, n is often
guided by necessity rather than choice,
but all thingsequal, the one most isolat-
ed from the rest of the house, provided
1t Is sunny and airy, is the one to be
chosen. This will be found best not
only in case of infectious diseases, but
IN all sickness, for the sake of quiet for
the patient. 1t is not possible to lay
down any rules as to furniture, carpets
and curtains. The n thing to do is to
make the room comfortable and cheer
full. This is imperative and actually
necessary many times to the recover
OF diphtheria and infectious fevers, all
upholstered furniture, hanging curtains
and carpet should be Mt once removed.
Use disinfectants freely. and allow no
direct communication with the rest of

About a month ago my horse refused
to eat hay, though he eats oats, POI
tatoes, beets, and turnips; his urine is
white, and his hind legs have begun to
swell; what can be done for him?
Ans.-The horse is suffering from
disease ofthe bladder, probably catarrh,
as indicated, by the whiteness Of the
urine, and it may be that the stomach
and bowels are involved in the disorder,
as indicated by the capricious appetite.
Give a pint of linseed oil, and repeat 1t
the second day. Then give one dram
doses of chlorate of potash daily for 10
days; feed at the same time bran and
linseed mash, with one dram of pow
dered gentian root, or Peruvian bark.
The swollen legs should be rubbed with
. rough roolen cloth and then with al
cohol applied by the hand.-Rural New

Curious Discovery of a Murder.

In the latter part of August, 1878,
the house of George Williams, in Roane
county, W. Va, was robbed and burned
to hide the crime. The family were at
church, and no arrests were made, as
no clue was found. On the first of
September. the same year, Peter Cook
a special constable, went into the neigh
borhood to look into tina matter and
remained several days. Before leaving
he said he had found the guilty parties.
Two days afterward the dead body of
Cook was found in a little frequented
mountain road. An effort was MADE to
find the murderers, but this proved un-
successful.
Two years ago two girls named Mary
and Eddie Tedson we're married the
same day to e. X. Reynolds and Til
burn Hall, all of respectable families.
About one month ago the women
dressed alike, ard q member of the
Williams family recognized the goods as
part of a piece which was in his house
at the time of the robbery, and the mat
ter was reported to the officials. A
search revealed other articles taken
from the Williams family, and also
from Cook, the murdered man. All the
parties were arrested and Reynolds
made the following confession: The
girls We're engaged to the men, after
ward their husbands, at the time of the
Williams robbery. The girls asked
their father for money and being re-
fused, made up their minds to rob Will
liams, who also, they had learned, had
$50 in. the house. They did so, and
burned the house to hide the crime.
Their father caught them before they
got away from the house. He paid Will
Jams S25 in money, and a horse, and
helped to rebuild the house to
keep him quiet. When Cook came
into the neighborhood the girls son
fessed to their lovers and asked for
help, and their father and the two men
concluded to kill Cook and they did so.
They put his body in the road near a
precipice to make believe that his horse
threw him off and killed him. All three
men are under arrest, and in Roane
county jail.-Detroit Post.

well what of it? Oh, 1 see. The
popular prejudice against eating at
night. Let me tell you, my young
friend, that unless your stomach is out
OF order, it is more benefit to you to
eat before going to bed than it is harm
full. Food Of a simple kind induces
sleep. At what hour did you dine?"
"Si6 o'clock"
"Humph! just what I thought. Six
o'clock. Fourteen hours between dinner
and your breakfast. Enough to keenan,
man awake. By that time the fuel nee
essary to send the blood coursing
through your system is burned out.
Animals sleep instinctively after meals.
Human beings become drowsy after
eating. Why? Simply because the
Juices needed in digestion are supplied
by the blood being solicited toward the
stomach. Thus the brain receives less
blood than during the hours of fasting,
and becoming paler the powers grow
dormant. Invalids and those in delicate
health should always eat before going
to bed. The sinking sensation in Sleep
lessness is c call for food. Wakeful-
ness is oftentimes merely q symp-
tom of hunger. Crafty the de-
sire and sleep ensues. The feeble will
be stronger if they eat on going to bed.
Some persons are exhausted merely by
making their toilet in the morning. A
cup of warm milk and toast on retir-
ing or of beef tea on awakening will
correct it."

Undoubtedly. Yet, when hungry
