A Valuable Medicine

OF all the medicines, patent or other

70 the Home Sanative Cordial for IFS ster-

malls, and reports from chemical tests,
made by the most prominent physicians,
both OF st. Louis aud elsewhere, all attest
this fact. For fever and agne, or general

HORSEBACK RIDING.
The Different styles OF the Cowboys and
the Cross. Country Men.

The Different Styles OF the Cowboys and
the Cross. Country Men.
Last spring | had to leave the East in
the midst of the hunting season to join
roundup in the cattle country Of
Western Dakota, and it was curious to
compare the totally different styles ol
riding of the cowboys and the cross.
country mel. A stock saddle weighs
thirty or forty pounds instead of ten OF
fifteen, and needs an utterly different
seat from that adopted in the East. A
cowboy rides with very long stirrups,
sitting forked well down between his
high pommel and cantel, and depends
greatly upon mere balance. In cutting
out steer from herd, in sitting
bucking broncho, in stopping night
stampede of many hundred maddened
animals, or in the performance of a
hundred other feats of reckless and
daring horsemanship, the cowboy is
absolutely unequal,d; and when he has
his own horse-gear he sits his animal
with the grace of n centaur, and yet he
is curously helpless the first time he
gets astridc of one of the small Eastern
saddles. Last summer, while purchas-
ing cattle in Iowa, one of my ranch
foremen had to get on an ordinary sad
die to ride out OF town and see q ranch
OF steers. He is, perhaps, the best
rider on the ranch, and will. With
hhCtfnNtAn nI
beasts that doubt if the boldcst rider
in one of our Eastern hunts
would care to tackle; yet his uneasneSs
on the new saddle was fairly comical.
At first he did not dare to trot, and the
least plunge of the horse bid fair to un-
seat him; nor did he begin to get aecus-
toned 10 the situation until the very
end of the journey. In fact, the two
kinds of riding are so very different that
n man only accustomed 10 one feels al
most as ill at ease when he first tries the
other as if he had never sat on a horses
back before. 1t is rather funny to sec
man who only knows one kind, and is
conceited enough to think that that is
really the only kind worth knowing,
when first he Is brought into contact
with the other. Two or three times l
have known men try to follow hounds
on stock saddles, which are about as ill
suited for the purpose as they well can
be, while it is even more laughable 10
see some young fellow from the East or
from England, who thinks he knows en-
tirely too much about horses to be taught
by barbarians, attempt to do cow-work
with his ordinary riding or hunting rig.
Each kind is best in its own place, and
the man only accustomed to one will at
first find himself at disadvantage when
he tries the other. IT must be said, how
ever, that in all probability cowboys
would learn to rids well across country
much sooner than the average cross.
country rider would master the dashing
and peculiar style of horsemanship
shown by those whose life business il is
TO guard the wandering herds of the
great Western plains. A cavalry officer
trained at West Point Is, perhaps, for
all-round work, not unlikely to surpass
as a horseman both cowboy and fox
hunter 7heodors Roosevelt. IN Century.

THE MANURE QUESTION.


Reliable Comparisons Between Barn. Yard
and Artificial Fertilizers.
A cart-load of hay, assuming cart
load to be a ton, would contain, on the
average, SO pounds of nitrogen, 8pounds
of phosphoric acid and 81 pounds of
potash. Four loads of average farm
yard manure, again assuming load to
be ton, might be expected to contain
45 pounds of nitrogen, 26 pounds of
phosphoric acid and As pounds of pot
ash, All these figures will vary accord
ing to the high or low feeding of the
animals, the economy of straw, and the
fresh or rotten condition of the manure
but these are fair average figures, such
as may most fairly be taken as the basis
of calculation. 1t will thus be seen
that four tons of good average farm
yard manure contain more nitrogen,
phosphoric acid and potash than a ton
of hay; and as the actual quantities of
valuable plant food removed in the hay
have to bo discounted in order to arrive
at the proportions of them that would
have reached the land had the hay or
grass been consumed on the farm, it
will be seen that the four loads of dung
form very ample compensation for the
hay removed. On the other hand, il
hay or grass be passed through an ami
NAL, the constituents in the eXcreta arc
for the most part readily available;
while in farm-yard manure much OF the
manurial matter is shown in its action.
Fertilizing matter approximately equal
to the chief constituents in four loads of
dung of the average quality above as
sumed, could be supplied by the judi
cious use Of:
(d) g cwt. sulphate of ammonia,
2cwt superphosphate,
3cwt. knnit; or Of
(b) cwt bone-dust
Ia cwt. sulphate OF ammonia,
cwt. kainit; or Of
(e) ~ cwt. good Peruvian guano,
~ cwt. sulphate of ammonia,
3cwt. kanit: or Of
(dD q cwt. good Peruvian guano.
cwt tish guano 70 per cent. ammOnia,)
cwt. sulphate of ammonia,
3cwt kainit."
The foregoing comparison will be
rendered more practical by showing
the relative cost Of the different appli-
cations. At the latest wholesale prices
in New York this would be, respective
ly, $l1.47, 1910, Sl1.02 and $10.02,
for formulas a, b, and d, with cost OF
freight added This would make stable
manure worth about $3.50 per ton, as
compared with artificial fertilizers al
prevailing prices. This theoretical value
of stable manure is somewhat higher
than would be deduccd from the practi-
cal field tests at Rothanlsted. These
showed that an application Of fourteen
tons of stable manure has proved equiv
alent 10 similar application of artili'
cial manures costing about $50. Popit

Lifting the Hat.

In the good old times when "sussie-
ty' didn depend on the heighth of Il
mans collar or the scarcity Of cloth in
his pants, or the drawl in his articula-
ton, there was something stately and
commanding in the manner of lifting
the hat when the lady gave the signal
Of recognition. 1t WAS combined with
bow which had to be we'll executed
IN order to make the other effectual.-
It was a sure index to a gentleman, for
1 never knew a lgar man to acquire
the art of lifting the hat gracefully
But this seems to have been oblitera-
ted by the coming generation in pants.
The thing now is to grab the rim Of the
hat in front with much the same celer-
ity you grab for seat in street car.
Having clutched the right spot, you
Jerk the hat down as if you we're try
ing to hide your tace-then rub the
hat up and down your front, taking
care not to get below the belt, very
quickly as if yon were trying to allay
irritation. When the hat gets back to
its place you grin like Il monkey; one
grin is all the custom requires. by
this time the lady has passed. and if
she is II sensible woman it is her turn
to grin.

While follow eyes the steady keel, the yes.

For you bouquets and ribbon'd wrcaths-

For you they call, the swaying mass, their

Here captain dear father!
This arm beneath your head
1t is some dream that on the deck
You're fallen cold and dead.
My captain does not answer, his lips are
pale and still
My father does not feel my arm, he has no

The ship is anchored safe and sound, its

From fearful trip the victor ship comes in

But with mournfu tread
Walk the dcck-my captain lies
