BAREBACK RIDING.
The Way i'm Which N Beginner is Taught
Daring Tricks.


Daring Tricks.
New York Morning Journal
What are the first steps taken to become
rder?' asked the reporter.
1t requires clear eyesight, presence of mind
and nerve" said Mile. CadOaa.
"In the center of the sawdust ring q pole is
erected This has a cross bar at the top reach
ing out over the ring. From this bar depends
a cord which is fastened around the waist OF
the beginner. a man stands the pole
and turns the cross arm around at a speed
equal 10 that Of horse. This machine is
technically known as the mechanic rope
also runs from the mans hands to the crss
arm, so that he can hold the rider In the air
If she chances to fall from the back OF the
horse"
During the first lessons the beginner is
taught how 70 balance herself properly. The
head is thrown back, the arms held free and a
graceful pOise assumed. 1t takes several weeks
to obtain proficiency in this respect Next the
student Is taught 10 leap lightly in the air,
landing on the padded saddle, for bareback
riding is not attempted until after success has
been gained on the saddle"
Are falls from the horse of frequent occur
renee"
ooh. YES. at first. Bnt the attendant easiiv
keeps the rider suspended in the air by means
OF the mechanic and no harm results. Some
times the horse will take sudden Jump for
ward and your calculations are thus knocked
out, but most ring horses are trained so well
that lhcy Know exactly at what rate OF speed
TO go. After = time jumping through paper
balloons is attempted, and then comes u great
event in the life of every circus rider. That is
the irst EomcTsaul..

''The horses are broken in by means OF the
mechanic also" replied Mile Cadona. And
il takes several months of steady teaching TO

riders always learn to ride by using horse

HAUNTED.


Ny home is haunted, every room
Is filed with ghosts cannot lay;
Strive as | will, they will not 90,
But troop about me every way.
Up stairs and down they follow me,
And meet Inc on the stair, b.
And come between my book and me,
And stand beside my chair.
No sound falls from their silent feet,
, ThrO' all the chambers, clean and ,still,
They come and go as clouds in March
The withered helds with shadows ILL.,
Dear little forms, that earth nor heaven
Can give me back. from time and change.
And these who blessed lifes dawn and noon
Whom Israel took, and friends estranged.
Oh, time Of dearth-chill winter days
That hold entombed the summer weather
our sad winds moan thro' gloom and frost,
And We and ! are drear together;
But spring shall brighten hill and vale,
And may not find life anew;
Ny shadows warm 10 living love,
In resurrection dear and true?

What a New Yorker SAYS,

A New York man says it is too expcn-
siye to harvest peas with the hogs. He
advises: Hitch horse toan ol6-fashioned
revolving rake, go opposite the way they
are naturallylOdged, and leave the rakings
in size suitable for pitching handily.
When dry, draw and stack. Feed the
hogs what they will eat up clean. AS
about twenty bushels or more should be
grown to the acre, you should be able to
jddge how many hogs an acre will feed.
For early feeding, at a time when the
it just the thing to give the hogs a good
crop.

Best Milk Producing Food.

Prof. Stewart, authority on such mat
tiers, says: Neither cornmeal nor bran is
the best milk producing food. With the
best clover hay cornmeal should be added
as part OF the ration--but with corn fod-
der, straw or poorhay, good wheat bran
should be added instead of cornmeal.
Bran will balance poor fodder better than
cornmeal. But in making up the milk
ration the feeder should seek variety in
food. Cornmeal and bran together are
better than either alone. The kinds OF
food best in milk ration depend upon
how the food balances with each other. "

Notwithstanding the presence of many stran-

Before noon a very large number of the friends
of the deceased had assembled in the vicinity
OF the house, and during the following hour
continuous stream of people passed into the
residence to take a last look at the features of
the dead. The floral tributes were very numer-
Gus and of unusual magnihcence. Conspicuous
among them was large wreath of Gala lilies,
intertwined with blue immOrtelles attached to
which was plain white card bearing the
words "The president" The flowers are from
the white house conservatory, and were sent'in

Care or 1Iiloh Cows.

When cows arc first turned to grass in
the spring, if feed is abundant. they ought
to be allowed in the pasture but few
hours each day for several DAYS; in a
word, the change of food should be
gradual. Carelessness on this really i'm
portant point has resulted often in serious
consequences.
To the oft-repeated question, "Shall
grain be fed to cows in summer" the
general answer is, mo, not ii the animals

what one Farmer Did.

A Missouri farmer bought eight acres of
land with wheat sown on it. He sowed
clover on the wheat. The wheat yielded
three bushels and peck to the acre, and
there was a tolerably fair stand of clover
on the most of it. The following year
eighteen tons of clover were cut from the
eight acres. The clover was allowed to
stand for two years, then it was turned
under, and the land sown 10 wheat. The
yield was twenty bushels per acre, and
the land has been producing well ever
since

seer was a little perplexed as to the best way of
choosing one from so many, and he said: Now,
boys, when only want one OF you how can l
choose from so many?"
After thinking a moment, he called them
into the yard, drove a nail into a tree, and TAX
ing short stick told them that the boy who
could hit the nail with stick a little distance
from the tree should have the place.
The boys each tried three times and failed to
hit the nail. They were told to come again
the next morning. When the gate was opened
there was but one boy, who, after being admit
ted, picked up the stick, and throwing 1t at
the nail hit it every time.
''How is this:" said the overseer. "What

And the boy said: "YOu see have moth

and l thought 1 would like to get the place
and SC help all can; and, after going home
yesterday drove a nail into the barn and have

Liverpool, lad was brought to him, who as
serted that he was from Exeter, \. H., and who
wanted to be sent home.
The British captain fancied the boy an
English impOster wishing to get free passage
over the Atlantic. Hawthorne came out of his
room and looked keenly at the eager ruddy
face Of the boy.

Hawthorne looked at him for q minute be-

best apples in your town?'
"Skim-milk Folsom, sir, said the boy, with

up the dear old scenes of home.
