was met by her son with q board in
his hand, with which he intended to
strike the prisoner, and when within
a few feet of him, and near the gate
of the front yard, Herrick drew his
pistol and shot him in the head, but
the ball glanced off, and did very

severe bruise. If the pistol used
had not been an old one the ball

The stations in service are Louis

the popular strains Of trotting"blood.
There are three stallion colts and
one gelding. In the line of brood
mares it is very doubtful if any estab-
lishment in the State can show an
equal number with as good blood
lines. OF course, Fanny Mapes
heads the list. The blood of Alex

The question has been asked why

q" The torpedo is similar TO the White
head invention, except in propell ing

$4,000, but Howell hopes ultimately IL
bring his instrument to perfection at an
average cost of $500. The two propel-

A Stable E.uxury.

A stable luxury to the COW is ligh
fly blanket to he used while milking
n some of the European countries, ee-
pecially where women do the milking,
COWS are always blanketed while be-
ing milked, summer and winter. 1t is
practice we may we'll copy in this
country. We blanket our horses to
protect them from flies while standing
in their stalls, and why not our cows
while we are milking them? Every
farmer has old sacking in which ferti.
lizer or wheat-bran has been bought,
and which may be easily sewed together
in suitable size and shape for blank
ct to cover q cow. There should be
one on each mixer. Three sacks sew
ed together without ripping them open
will usually make blanket large
l enough to cover q large COW, and which
no flies or mosquitoes will reach their
fbill through. Most of the annoyance
from cows tails being switched about
ones face and ears while milking, may
be avoided by using such a blanket.
Many cows learn the trick of throwing
their hay around upon their back and
sides while eating, to keep off ths flies,
and not little ia thus wasted under
their feet. 1t is we'll during fly time to
keep stable pretty dark at milking
lime. and all the time IL cows are kept
up through the day. A COW that is
constantly tormented by hi's will give
much less milk than she woaia IT kept
constantly comfortable. 1t pays 10 treat
onr animals kindly and to keep them
happy and oontented.

1HRAsHINa.FL0OKs.

1t was In the north of China that we
first saw the thrashing floor OF the
East and of the Bible. When we were
travelling to some out-stationB in Mant-
churia, the road bounded on both sides
by endless fields of gigantic millet, there
would come farmers house and farm
yard. of a small hamlet, and on the
skirt of 1t, the trodden spot of ground
hard and smooth as stones. But 1t was
not till some weeks later, as we were
journeying slowly up to Pekin, and the
harvest was now gathered, and we saw
1t in use. The grain was laid on the
floor, and pair Of oxen werc driven
leisurely over the ears. treading out
the corn.
Another form of thrashing was the
stone roller. which was drawn over the
ears by oxen or mules; and thers was
|stiesher still, where fiat board, fur
nished with some projections, was
drawn in the same way, the driver or
children, perhaps, sitting on the board
to lend It additional weight. Some
times the grain was piled up in large
heap in the center of the floor, unsifted,
and then men with the winno wing
shove. (the Bible FAM would toss the
grain into the air, or else into fiat
basket, from which the man who led
! it flung up the corn, and the wind
carrying the chaff away filed the air
with dust.
One Bible phrase after another was
recalled to us. Ii was easy 10 see how
the Philistines could rob the thrashing
floor at Keilah, those open spaces in
| the field On which the absence OF any
dread of rain induced the farmers to
pile mp their wealth of grain; or how
the open floor, open to the sky and
smooth, became the natural place to
test the dew upon Gtdeon's fleece while
all the rest of the ground was dry; OF
how when the two kings. Ahab, OF Is
rael, and Jehosaphat, OF judah, sum
moned the prophet, the place to set the
royal thrones was on the smooth and
empty thra.hing floor just before the
gate of Samaria; or how no better place
than this could be found on which tt
build the altar that David raised wher
he had purchased the site of the tenn
pie from Araunah, the Jebus!te, anc
found in the thrashing Instruments
the wooden fans and boards and oxer
poles-the wood for the sacrifice. l
would be easy for the oxen to stop IL
the midst of the abundance they wer'
threading out and eat; and the mercifu
Jewish law provided that they shoult
eat if they would; there should be nj
muzzling OF them; "thou shalt no
muzzle the OK when he treadsth on th'
corn"
