KEEP THE STABLE LIGHT.

Dark stables, says the Western
World, are an abomination, and
should not be tolerated. There is
no necessity tc sacrifice comfort,
either in winter or summer, to Sc
cure light.
a horses eye is enlarged-the
pupil of the eye is-by being kept
in a dark stable; he has the harness
put on him and suddenly brought
out into a bright, glaring sunlight,
which contracts the pupil so sud
denly as to cause extreme pain. BY
persevering in this very foolish and
iniudicious and we'll as cruel prac-
tee, the nerve OF the eye becomes
impaired, and if continued long
enough loss of sight viii ensue.
TO see how very painful it is to
face a bright light after having
been in the dark, take a walk some
mark night for short lime till the
eye becomes accustomed to the dark
ness, then drop suddenly into some
well lighted room and you will
scarcely be able to see for a few
moments in the sudden light. You
know how painful it is to yourself,
then why have your horse repeated
ly to b ar such unnecessary pain?
\ dark stable is invariably a
damp one, and such a stable we are
not vet willing to put either val
liable working or driving horse in.
Give good ventilation, let the sun
light and the air have chance to
effect an entrance, and your stables
will be pUrer and healthier than if
you take such pains to exclude them
ard the good influence they inva-
riably bring.

Henry Il. Harris, the famous
Meriwethcr sportsman, says that
recently he mas noticed swarms Of
ro ins going to a large cancbrake
on the plantation Of Judge Frank
Williams. This canebrakc is situated
il The fork Of Peoples and Warm
Springs creeks. Last Monday
night Mr.. Harris and Henry b.
Leyerett, accompanies by squad
OF freedmen, went to the robins
roostlng place with long and
killed from SEQ to 500 robins. Mr..
Harris said he went expecting to
find myriads Of birds, but was as
tonished at the immense number.
lie had no idea that there were so
many robins on the American con
tlnent. lie can't imagine where
they came from. lie has been to
pigeon roosts, but never before saw
such immense focks of birds. When
they rose the noise was like an ap.
preaching cyclone, and could be
heard for miles. One colored man
counted torty-eight birds he himselt
killed. Ii the lightwood torches
had held out there is no estimating
the robins that night have been
killed.

A HOMEMADE BRooDER.

People who raise many chickens find q
good brooder very useful institution.
There are many plans for making them,
from which we select the description of
good one that can be easily made: Make
a box three feet square, one foot high,
open at the top and bottom. Over this
nail sheet iron, and then nail one-inch
strips around the edge, leaving hole at
each corner one inch long. Make floor
of matched lumber, on the strips, leaving
hole two inches square in the center,
around which fasten tube four inches
high. Then make a cover two feet and
eight inches square. Set on four legs.
Along the edges tack strips of flannel,
slashed every two inches. Place this on
top of the brooder. Set lamp under
the sheet iron, and the air passing through
the holes left in the corners becomes
warmed, streams through the tube, and
over the chicks, while the floor at the
same time is quite warm. Such an ap-
paratus, properly constructed and man.
aged, fills the bill of good brooder.-

How They Do II in kentucky.


I had been asleep in my seat in the
passenger coach as the train was roll
ing through Kentucky, aid was aroused
by couple taking the seat in front of
me. did not raise my head, but made
ou-s that he was young fellow of %,
or 3hereabouts, and she was q young
girl of IS or 90.
Reckon he's asleep?" queried the
girl, referring to me.
I'm shore of it," he replied, after
taking a look at the back of my head.
There was an interval of silence, cut
on the bias and warranted fast color,
and then the young man queried:
Glad ye come, Mary ?"
%Sorter, Bill"
ives friends, hain't we?"
"Shore."
Il never did keer fur no other gall"

"Shore as 1 live, Mary. / wouldn't

| "'Dpad bnt whv NOT >"
! "'Cause nobody loves me-"
"Shoo! Reckon somebody does"
"No, they don't. If they did they'd
show it,"
There was another interval of silence,
bordered with forget-me-nots and orna-
mented with orange blossoms, and dur
ing this minute think he seized her
unresisting hand. I think she was
ready to be seized. He probably
squeezed it as he said:
$50 you reckon somebody does?"
"Yep."
HThen why don't they say so?"
"Waitin', mebbe."
Waiting fur what?"
"To be axed to say So"
He was trembling with excitement,
and he could not control his voice as
he said:
"If they loved me they'd squeeze nv
hand, wouldn't they?"
Reckon they would"

Do not allow the ground around plants
to become ballzed.
Keep swine healthy. Loss begins when
health breaks down.
Every young weed that is cut down is
one less to go to seed.
Corn isn't horse feed. Never look for
anything better than oats.
The cows will be more comfortable out
of doors these hot nights.
The three great enemies of sheep are
dogs, foot-rot and parasites.
A member of famous farmers club
says, feed onions to sheep to kill ticks.
Sheep do not suffer from the cold, but
they do not like high winds or to have
wet feeces.

around the yard little before feeding
and until he is cool.

GOOD HsE roR HOUSE sLops.

If you save all the slops from the
house, the wash-water and suds of
sundry occasions during the week, you
viii find that you have supply of nutri-
ment at hand to draw upon which is far
richer than you had any idea. 1t will
not make poor soil permanently rich,
but it will afford sufficient nutriment to
nourish such plants as you grow in it dur
ing the summer in very satisfactory
manner. We planted some ANIMALS on a
stiff clay that had been thrown out of a
cellar. We water them regularly with
suds and slops, and they surpass in
growth and Righteousness those grown
in the garden.-American Agrieutturist.

MARKETING FRUITS,

Large cities do not always prove the
best markets for fruits. The best market
is often passed by and the fruit sent to
New York to be sold at less price than
it would have brought nearer home.
Look well to the question of markets be-
fore the fruit is ready. If the fruit is to
be consigned to a commission dealer,
select the man, not the one who makes the
greatest promises, but the one who has
best reputation for fair dealing and
promptness.
Conform to the customs of the market
in the choice of packages. Where the
custom is to send berries in round boxes,
those in square ones will meet with slow
sale. Have choice fruits, such as selected
apples, plums, etc., go in bushel and half
bushel crates. Let the crates be built of
bright new stuff, and establish reputa-
ton for neatness that will designate your
fruit, even without label. But do not
omit to mark every crate, barrel or other
package, plainly, with the name of the
consignee, and with your own name.
Make or purchase packages of all kinds
we'll in advance, so that this important
matter may not be rushed at the time
when the fruit is ripening.
Too much care cannot be taken in as
sorting fruits. Some make three grades,
the first and second for market, and a
third to be fed out or dried or otherwise
disposed of at home. Some of the most
careful fruit growers make but two
grades, the first and best only goes to
market. All other is kept at home, or
disposed of without having the name of
the shipper on the packages.-Anaericam
AgricuIturalist.

COWS SHOULD PAY FOR THEIR BOARD.
In order that the plants grown may
yield the best return Of which they are
capable to the husbandman, his skill
should be exercised to provide animals
which can return to him the most in
products or service for the food which
they consume. It is possible to keep
animals which yield so much less in food
than they eat, that they are veritable
burdens upon the man whose property
they are. Instead of being his servants,
living and laboring for him, he some
times becomes theirs, and apparently
lives to keep and feed cows, hogs and
horses. The COW in all civilized coun-
tries is always boarder upon some per-
son. she should be made to pay for her
board at such remunerative rates as will
leave a profit for the clearinghouse
keeper. If she fails in that she should
be made to render a service which she
will not unwillingly contribute. Her
carcass should be made into beef and her
hide into leather. She should not be
slyly sent to board upon some other un-
fortunate man. A COW with the business
habit of keeping her accounts with the
world paid up through the man who
owns and feeds her, is a good business
cow. That is the kind of COW l recon-
mend. Her power of service will be in
dicated by certain external points. She
should have large long udder, of elastic
fine quality; a mellow movable skin,
covered with soft silky hair; long large
barrel, hooped with fiat ribs, broad and
wide apart; broad loin, spreading Out
into broad, long headquarters; an oper
twist with rather thin hips, and lear
neck of symmetrical length, carrying
clean-cut fine face with prominent eyes
A COW with these points hes ability t'
serve man well, if she gets a fai
chance. That her calves should hav'
powers equal to or rather better than he
