Is producing something, and that
every product is used in the most eco
nomical manner.

AS no two animals are alike, it Is
best to consult their appetites and de-
| sires. Whatever the animal prefers as
food, and thrives on, IL should have.
Food can not be forced on an animal If
it dislikes it.
The purpose OF the farmers boy
should be to have and preserve "a
sound mind in sound body" and to
secure knowledge and wisdom which,
in the years TO come, may be the pos
session of self-reliant, useful man.
The best time to give full allow

weather is very cold. Corn promotes

the necessity OF the case.
Chicken Hash: Mince cold roast

The Rural World believes that the
general farmer with two hundred acres
of land should keep fifty sheep for
utility's sake alone. Such men can af-
ford to estimate the value of sheep
from the standing point of meat, fer
tility and the general advantage to the
farm, regardless of the market price Of
wool.
No branch OF farming Is more
profitable or conducted with less labor
than orcharding when the products can
be sold even at a moderate price. Be-
sides this, apple trees may be planted
on land too rough for root or grain Gull
ture. and high attitudes are more ex-
empt from killing by frost than or
chards in the valleys and lowlands.
Milk being secreted directly from
the blood, its purity depends upon the
purity of the blood, and for that reason
every care should be taken that the
animals are made as comfortable and
kept as clean as possible Decaying
matter, pig-styes and manure heaps
should form no part of their surround
ings, and there should be no accumula-
tion of unconsumed food left in their
troughs.
Keep the tools in place and in or

want on axe, hammer or spade have to
ransack the wood-house, barn and all
Dver the farm. The time wasted look
ing up tools, and working with duh
ones, besides the aggravation OF tenn
per, is worse than wasted, while If
we could get the boys in the habit of
order in keeping tools in proper places
how much better it would be.

WiNTERING APPLES.
How to Have n Supply of Sound Frui
the Year Around.

the Year Around.
The comfort of q supply of apples
the year round depends as much upon
the keeping as the growing of them.
The average house cellar is not the
best place in which to store them, but
attention to cleanliness, ventilation
and temperature, guided by ther-
mometer, will make it a fair success.
Temperature is the strong point, and
the nearer and more uniformly the air
of any room in which apples are stored
can be kept to the freezing point, but
always above it, the longer and better
they will keep. Carefully picked and
assorted apples, packed in boxes or
barrels in almost any fine, dry material
that will aid in keeping them dry and
the temperature about them uniform
may be kept in any convenient out
house, or even the barn, covered with
three or four feet of hay, straw, leaves,
chaff or other like material to keep the
frost from reaching them. All the bet
ter If. they can stand upon the ground,
which will aid in maintaining an un-
changing temperature. To those who
have heretofore kept their apples in
bins or on shelves in the house cellar
without satisfactory success. we suggest
the following experiments. Select
fifty good, sound apples from the shelf
or exposed mass, wrap each in paper
and replace them. Count out fifty
more, the same in condition, and place
them aside exposed Place fifty equal
specimens each, in boxes Of suitable
size, packed in fine shavings, fine
chopped oat straw, coarse and fine
chafT, bran, sifted coal ashes and
plaster; put them into II cold, but not
freezing apartment. Fill boxes large
enough to hold half bushel or a
bushel, with apples in the more com
pact packing, as plaster or fine chaif,
and place them in the barn with few
feet of hay, or foot or two OF chaff,
upon them. Leave them all undis-
turbed until after those kept in the
usual way are gone, and you get hun
CRY for apples, and then examine them
all at the same time carefully, bearing
in mind the different conditions under
which each lot has been kept, and you
will get a deal of useful information

Perhaps there is nothing under which
men vince and fret more than the re-
straints and restrictions which the
circumstances of life force upon them.
And yet, humanity speaking, there is no
greater helper, no surer guide, than
external restrictions. Every one knows
that It's comparatively easy to act the
gentleman in a society where the forms
of etiquette are rigidly observed; but
it is not easy to come up to the same
requirement in society where free
dom is the rule and where rules are
free. A newly employed street-car
driver has no difficulty in finding the
route over whiaa he is to direct his
horses. He can not drive off the track
without being jolted into conscious
ness of his own error. But "a ride

leaves the rider free from the re-
straints of the rail, correSpondingly
opens to him the danger of going
astray. Many "A young man desires to
leave his present employment that he

nor will he be competent to serve him

restrictions which it would profit him
to receive from himself as the master

THE DARK CONTINENT.
The War on the Germans by Coast Nj
tIves In East Africa.


tives In East Africa.
The Germans have serious work OF
hand in East Africa. Along three
hundred miles of the Zanzibar coast
between Pangani on the north and
Kilwa on the south, they have been at
tackled by coast natives at five of theii
stations and several Germans have been
killed. This uprising has speedily fol
lowed the cession to the Germans by
the Sultan of Zanzibar of this strip OF
coast, about five hundred miles long
and ten miles wide. The immediate
pretext for this rebellion is the violent
disinclination of the coast people to
accept the sovereignty of Europeans.
The real cause of war is the affiliation
of the coast natives with the Arabs OF
the interior. These attacks are only the
latest development in the programme
of open hostility TO all the whites in
Africa which led Mwanga, frenzied by
Arab lies, to kill Bishop Harrington,
and also led to the capture of Stanley
Falls and the assaults upon the Euro
pean settlers on Lake Nyassa.
These coast natives are not such un-
tutored savages as those among whom
white men have cast their lost on the
other side of equatorial Africa. They
are half-caste Arabs and Moslem Ne.
groids, the product of two or three CEN
turies of the admiXtufe of Arab, Portu-
guese and Indian traders and settlers
with the native peoples. They domi-
nate most of the narrow coast strip for
several hundred miles, the pure-blooded
Africans having retreated before them
into the interior. Thousands of them,
the Wa Suaheli, have served explorers
as porters; but most of those who are
now attacking the Germans are the
as the Wa Mrima, whom the pure
Arabs regard as greatly their interiors,
though the most influential immigrant
in Central Africa, Tippu lib, is him.
self half-caste. Two-thirds of the
German stations are among the pure
African tribes on the highlands from
75 to 100 miles west OF the disturbed
coast strip.
The inevitable conflict between the
whites who are trying to uplift and de-
velop Africa and the Moslems who ara
and degrading her people
has now been signalized by bloodshed
half way across the equatorial regions.
Every enterprise of the whites from
sea to sea in this part of Africa is now
confronted by the Arab question and
the signs are multiplying every day
that this problem must be settled be-
fore any Of those projects can. go for
ward TO which the Arab influence is
menace.
Fortunately for the Germans the
present impediment in their path is 80
near the sea that they will make short
work of it when they seriously set
lbout its removal.-M y Sun.
