Young Colts on the Farm.

The season is at hand, says the Cali
fornia Spirit, when the young colts
claim a share of the farmers attention.
Much of the annoyance which many
find in working the mother can be
easily anticipated by a little FORE
thought and the exercise of little nat
ural tact. After it is two weeks old
the colt is capable of living on three
meals day as is the calf, and it should
be shut up in yard or pasture away
from the mother while she is at work.
Care must, of course, be exercised on
the start. Leaving the colts in a small
lot with older colts or horses will re-
lieve the anxiety that is first felt when
left alone. A little care as to the tenn
perature of the mothers blood when
the colt takes it's milk is also impor-
tant. If the mother is to be worked
constantly it is advisable to teach the
colt to eat little bran and oats as
soon as possible, and by increasing
this grain ration it will be ready for
weaving earlier, and the weaving pro-
cess will be more gradual and in every
way more agreeable. If the colt is
haltered and handled a half hour every
day till two months old, and led regu-
larly at least once a week after this, it
will be much better for it in every way

Does This Mean You
Montana Liue Stock Journal.

Every farmer ought to have a garden
and good one. But is it fact that

cause the most of them have got the
idea into their heads that it doesn't
pay.
at isn't worth while to bother with
'em," they'll tell you.
Now, l know it does pay. If you
have good garden, and that is the
only kind you ought to have, there is
no part of the farm that pays better.
You may not raise much to sell from
it, but you can raise large share of
the family living from it, and no far
mer's family should go without the
luxuries of fresh vegetables in variety.
Farming that brings in the most mon
ey is not always the kind that pays
best. The health and enjoyment of the
family is, or should be, the first con-
sideration always. But, 1 am sorry to
say, that great many ignore this in
practice, if not in theory.
Too often the farmers table is so
lacking in variety that there is but lit
tie relish for the food provided. Day
and eaten until they become tiresome.
NOW, III SOOu variety OF vegetables is
grown, there may be such change in
the bill of fare as to make it always
attractive. The woman of the house
will see to this if you place the means
at her disposal.
The farmer and his family ought to
live better than any other class of
people, except those who have money
to crafty every want. He has the
means to do so at hand if he will make
use of them.

White Mountain Forest Slaughtered


DR.. w. G. Prime complains in the
New York Journal of Commerce of the
depredatiOns of the lumber men among
the White Mountains. Portable saw
mills are being moved up and down
the slopes, and the slaughter of those
grand old forests is prosecuted without
the slightest regard to economy or
physical consequences. AS a heavy
taxpayer in that state he protests.
This is an evil that has long been felt
in New England. 1t is due in part to
the tariff tax on lumber, which is di-
rect premium on the destruction of
what forests we have left. 1t is also
due in part to the practice of many
towns among the hills Of granting
bonuses to saw-mill enterprises in tho
shape of exemption from taxation for a
term of years, instead of restraining
their operations. We know of one
Vermont town, for example, which has
followed this policy until its valuable
timber has pretty much all disappear
ed with the net result of not penny's
gain from taxes, but loss of ply steal
features essential to it's agricultur al in
terests at least. New Hampshire ought
to know by this time how to appreci-
ate the value of it's White mou ntains

Curing a Fair Hypochondriac.
Ne1o York Evening Sun.

Among the guests of a fashionable
uptown boarding house is charming
married lady who enjoys the most rO-
bust health, but who until recently
made her friends and neighbors believe
that she was a suffering woman, and
endured all the ills and complaints to
be found in a medical encyclopedia.
She would come down to breakfast ev-
cry morning, and would at once begin
to narrate the old story of her painful
sufferings the previous night. One day
it would be neuralgia, the next, bron-
chitis, and so on, until almost every pOr-
ton of her body was affected. While she
was generally admired for her mental
and social qualities, still the monOtO-
nous recitals became an atf1ictiOn to
her friends. They prayed for deliver
ance, and then set about devising a
scheme to effect it. A large sheet of
foolscap paper was hung up in one
corner of the large dining-room, and
headed in large letters: "Bulletin of
Mrs.--'s health" Every time the
lady was heard TO make complaint
some one would sneak up and record it
on the sheet. At the end of two weeks
the list of ailments covered the entire
sheet, and the most remarkable feature
of it was that no two complaints were
alike. The fair sufferers attention had
never been drawn to the daily record
of her health until the bottom line of
the sheet was filled. 1t was then that
she was led courteously to the corner
to read the pitiful story of her suffer-
ings. The humorous side affected her
forcibly, and she broke out into mer-
~ peal of laughter. She was cured.

Important scarlet-fever Statistics.
R6b4ghOOd.


The relation borne by scarlet-feve
to the age and sex of the subjects as
well as to the season of the year gave
rise to an interesting discussion in the
Chronological Society of London last
month. A detailed analysis of upwards
of 6, 900 cases showed that the liability
to the disease " was slight in infancy,
reached its maximum in the fourth or
fifth year, and diminished every year
afterwards" So far as severity of at
tack was concerned, however, it was
greatest during the first two years,
and lessened year by year thereafter.
The death rate reached its minimum
in both sexes in the third year of life !;
I" 42 per cent. of the cases and "a per
cent. of the deaths occurred III the first
five years of life" The advantage of
pOstponing an attack was a double one,
in that liability to it was diminished
each year beyond the fifth, and also
that it's severity was lessened by each
year of postponement. 1t was estimat-
ed that probably twO-thirds of our
adult population had escaped attack
altogether.
The significance of the above is ex-
ceedingly important for the cOnsidera
ton of those, by no means few among
us, who consider lightly the exposure
of their children to diseases that are
considered the inevitable portion of
childhood. The facts that cOnsidera-
BILE percentage escape infection alto
gether, and that susceptibility to at
tack and its severity decrease year by
year after the fifth, should stimulate
US to every caution the most intelli-
igent care can exercise to shield our
little ones from this disease, the results
of which, when not fatal, are often so
serious, distressing, and permanent.

What a Trout Did.

A special train, with repair gang
going at the rate of mile a minute
after Al pound trout is not common
spectacle, but it might have been seen
a few days ago on the Housatonic rail-
road. The trout was wedged in the
upper end of the supply pipe that leads
from pond at West Cornwall to the
water tank that supplies the locomo-
tives, and the stoppage of the water
threatened to involve a stoppage of
the trains as well. AS the cause of the
difficulty was at first unknown, the
preparations for its removal were some
what out of proportion. The trout
was rescued alive, and made a supper
for the conductor of the special, and

New Uses of the Dynagraph Car.

The Boston and Albany railroad has
had constructed a truck for linking"
faulty places in the rails and road bed
of their line, according to the methods
of P. d. Dudley, who runs dynagraph
and inspection car over all the railroads
of the country. The truck has already
been run over half the road experiment.
ally, but will not be used by the COM
pany independently of Mr.. Dudley I'M
til next year. Mr.. Dudley enjoys the
distinction of having valuable tech
nical profession that is understood by
no other man in the world. He has
spent a fortune in carrying out his
ideas, and is now reaping the fruits of
his endeavors. 1t consists in a wonder
fully minute inspection of rails, ties
and road-beds while his Car is attached
to a train going many miles an hour.
His machinery within the car is so
made that the slightest DETECTION from
a straight line in any portion of a rail
is registered by red ink on diagram.
Whenever the car strikes q very faulty
place, a vessel of black ink, attached
to the car truck, emits some of the fluid
on the ties, thus informing the road
master of it's condition. This year, by
reason of the unusual severity of last
winter, his services are in enormous
demand by all the railroads to inspect
tile condition of their rails, and he is
constantly widening the sphere of his
investigations so as to include the SUI
periority of one " make" of rail over
another, and the comparative excel
lence of different kinds of wooden ties.
He travels from April to November in
Iii nd hoo
ters in New York city. A new field
that is now opening to him is in in
speeding rails with a view to their du-
rability during the coming win ter
Many roads are trying to engage his
services for such purpose, and, since
he is the only man in profession that
might give work to hundred, he finds
his year much too short. The impOr-
lance of his work is becoming recOg-
nized as SO important by railroad com
panies in the region of snow, that they
are trying by some means to introduce
others into the profession.

The Orange Peel Club.

A trim looking young woman, who
looked something like Sunday school
teacher, was seen going along the side
walk in st. Paul, the other day care
fully removing banana skins. She did
not appear to do this because of any
interest along there, but simply out of
philanthropy. for banana skin, as
everybody knows who has tried it, is a
far from nice thing to step upon. In
quiry developed the fact that she is a
member of an organization known as
the "Orange Peel Club" This club
undertakes not only to remove orange
peels on the sidewalk = which gives it
its name-but other similar obstruc-
tons. The members not only engage
to do this small act of phiIanthrophy
but to themselves refrain from such
little tboughtless acts, as throwing a
banana skin on the sidewalk, no seri
Gus transgressiOn in itself, but one that
may lead to quite disagreeable results.
