STABLE SUGGESTIONS.

Why Extra Care should He Taken to Sc
cure Good Ventilation.
One of the most careful writer's and
practical stockmen says correctly that
it is not surprising that in the neg
lected stables we find sore throat, in
famed lungs. diseased eyes, grease or
scratches. farcy. mango and CHAMBERS.
Nor is it wonderful that when disease
appears it spreads rapidly through the
whole stud. since they have all been
exposed to the same kind of provoking
causes Ammonia is a pungent gas,
and acts powerfully on eyes. nose and
lungs Since any affection of the wind
and sight of the horse greatly damages
the animal, it is a sufficient reason
for extra care to secure good ventila-
ton.
Throwing damp bedding forward un-
der the manger defiles the feed. and
the horse is compelled to breathe moi
sonous fumes The bedding had better
be removed from the stable entirely
each morning. At least carefully re-
move all that is wet. and pile the re-
mainder in the rear. rather than under
the nose OF the horse. Since the DAYS
OF close. warm stables. pneumonia and
lung troubles are increasing. Ex-
tremes of heat and cold tax the system
heavily. The Office of the lungs and

Baby, you stand by gate that leads
Into land OF dreams:
There's drowsy watchman here who beeds
Never the struggling CLEANS
vi ngnt that stray from the far-on sun
Always for him it's twilight begun
And we stand by the gate,
And watch and wait.
And watch-and wait!
Little one hear what the stream sings Of
Here in this quiet land:
IT sings of the joy of mother love-
Sings to birds in the sand
10 the strange. tall birds, with dreamy eyes,
Ihat look at you. dear, in mute surprise.
While we stand by the gate,
And watch and wait
And watch-and wait!
If you open the gate no one will know;
The guard will never guess.
You must open it gently, slowly-so!
No one has heard. unless
Those dreamful birds, or the dreamland sheep,
Heard you stealing through their land of sleep,
While stood by the gate,
To watch and wait
And watch-and Waiti
Oh, strange are the birds and the sheep that
dwell
Here in the land of dreams!
But you must not see, and you must not tell,
However strange it seems.
Or they'll ney er let you in again.
And IT would not please you, baby. then.
just to stand by the gate,
And watch and wait,
And watch-and wait!

EMPRESS FREDERICK.

Changes Wrought in Ter Appearance
Since Her Husbands Death.
The Empress Frederick has changed
greatly during the year of mourning
through which she has just passed.
She has become much thinner and is
rapidly growing gray, so that she looks
much older than her actual age, which
is only forty-nine. All her fresh En-
glish bloom has departed, and she
clings to her home and surroundings
| In her husbands native land in a way
that is truly pathetic, remembering
how. as Crown Princess of Prussia,
she was often aggressively and exas-
peratingly English. In consequence
much of the not wholly unfounded
prejudice against her among the Ger
man nation has already departed, and
she bids fair to pass the remainder of
her days surrounded by the sympathies
and affection of the people over which
her lamented and passionately loved
consort reigned for so short a time.
Yet, in bygone days, she was as ag-
gressively English as her eldest son
now is German, and with less excuse.
since her lot was cast in Germany
and with the Germans. She used
to send to London not only for
books and stationery and the like.
but for the toilets and even for
the shoes to be worn by her daughters
and herself. There is current story
how. when she was, as Crown Princess,
presiding over meeting of the direct
resses of Home for Friendless Gov
ernesses in Berlin, the question came
up as to the quality and kind of food
to be furnished to the inmates of the
institution. Let them have good En-
glish fare" quoth the Princess Vic
toria; mo greasy and unwholesome
German cooking!' Also, during her
husbands last illness, she insisted not
only on his having an English physi-
clan, but she sent to England for all
the appliances of his sick-room, such
as the bed, the reclining chair. etc.
But perhaps her most unpopular act
was the dismantling of the rooms once
occupied by the lovely Queen Louisa,
the mother of the late Emperor Will
lam, whose memory is held in venera-
ton amongst the German people as
that of martyr, and whose apart
ments had been kept sacred and in
precisely the condition that they were
cupant. These rooms the Crown Prin-
cess caused to he refitted by fashion
able London upnolsterer. and the
people of Berlin never forgave her.

EFFECTS OF FOODS.

For q Steady and Meat-Producinc Detective
the Pig Grass.
The best results can be had with
breeding sows by turning them into a
field where there is plenty of pasture.
1t is not advisable to allow them to
have pigs where other hogs run, al
though, in large range, there is little
danger of the pigs being disturbed or
injured when born. One thing is sure
there is no food which will make better
pigs or put the sOws in better condition
for bearing young than grass. 1t seems
to be as natural food for swine as for
any class OF animals. have known
sows which destroyed their pigs in the
spring. to make the best of mothers in
the summer when fed on grass. In the
spring they were feverish and made
frenzied by their physical condition;
while in the summer by the cooling and
succulent character of the grass they
were in perfect condition for the Or
deal of bearing young Feeding veg
etables has similar effect. and when
sows have these regularly they are al
ways sure to do well. Fruits are also
natural foods for swine. and sows will do
well if fed nothing but apples. In the
summer, hogs should always be on the
earth and given a chance to root.
When it is known that all these cheap
foods are so natural and healthful for
swine, it seems strange that SO many
farmers persist in keeping their hogs,
the year round, on grain. An acre of
sweet corn. fed stalks and all. will go
. long way toward fattening lot of
hogs Sorghum is also excellent
Weeds are allowed to go to seed, for
extra work the next year, which would
make excellent pork. Here is maxim:
The cheapest foods make the best
pork. The reason is. it is the leanest-
Lean pork. then, being the best. we
should try to make it. Confinement in
pens tends to increase the fat. Exer-
else develops the muscles The mus
cular part is the best food. The fat is
largely waste. We make fat to throw
it away. People buy hams. not for the
Tat. but for the lean. When the fat is
wasted it makes the lean cost Just so

Lots of Interesting Facts In the History Of
First Pages.
A magazine writer has just begun to
write The History of the Title Page. "
1t may seem a small subject, but it is
an interesting one 1t has also a very
marked bearing on the history of liter
allure. Involved in it we find the ques-
tions of titles, new, borrowed or im-
itated; of authorship, real or assumed
of dates, accurate, inaccurate or alb
sent altogether. In the mere arrange
ment of type on the title-page, not
much variety is to be looked for.
Some originality in that respect is
shown now and then by publishers
with taste and fancy. but it is obvious
that not much novelty is feasible
Every now and then we have the
name of the author at the top of the
page, instead of in the middle. after
the French fashion; the effect is quaint.
and pleases. Now and again the title
of the book starts at the left-hand top
corner and is run on like a sentence
till finished. instead of being divided
and spread out over the page in ortho-
dox STYLE. But when all has been done
that can be done in this and other
directions, the present-day publisher
soon discovers that the varia tions are
by no means endless.
The only device which has not Of
late been greatly exploited is that OF
the illustrated title-page. with its broad
margin of artistic design inclosing the
smallest possible amount of type. This
used to be very popular.

TrifleS That Count.

TRIES are those things which of
themselves are of little moment; there
fore, it is but natural that men in the
rush of business and work should some
times slight those comparatively-s small
matters in their anxiety for the main
issue. With many. this is apt to be-
come a confirmed habit. and they grow
into the way of habitually disregard
ing any little piece of work. that. of
itself. is tri6ing. and fail to look to the
little wastes that are constantly going
on around them in consequence.
Such is the case on the farm, espe-
cially; very few farmers are given to
considering how much these little
things amount to in the course of
year. Although quite insignificant,
when considered individually. these
trihes count up amazingly, directly
and Indirectly, in a twelve-month.
A little mouse-hole in the grain-bi
is not particularly alarming. and the
farmer thinks that, in his hurry, it is
hardly worth noticing, but before the

the roof is so common, and. OF itself,
such a trif1ing affair. that it very sell
dom gets proper attention in the way
of repairs, yet the constant dropping
of water upon the plastering below
may cost several dollars worth of
work to be expended in repairs. when
a few minutes of time on the roof
would have prevented it.
A little pile of earth or rubbish
has accumulated around the stills of
the shed, but as it is such a trifling
matter it is not noticed until the
timber begins to rot away and the
shed to sag; then it will take few
more dollars to put things up into a
slightly shape again. Perhaps it is
broken hinge on the gate that needs d
few minutes labor to mend; but. fail
ing to get this little attention, the gate
is thrown around. run against, and
racked until a whole days work must
be given to the job. thus uselessly add
ing to the farmers burdens.
Whatever it is, and however trif1ing
it may appear, it will surely save much
after-loss and veXation to attend to
any little matters about the farm,
similar to the ones above mentioned.
If not attended to. they will absorb
the profits. or perhaps prevent any
from accuring.-W. d. Boynton, in

1t is advisable to plant apple trees for

Apples do not make fat pork, but they
do make plenty of lean meat, and that

utilized in the same way. Gradually

the farm. For a steady diet give the

Radiating Power of Flames,

At the last meeting of the Berlin
Physical Society DR.. r. Won Helmholtz
communicated the results of his ex-
periments on the radiating power of
flames The problem which he had
set before himself was to determine
the relationship between the radiant
energy Of flames and the amount of
gas consumed for their production.
Luminous flames radiated more euer-
gy than non-luminous and it was
proved by an extended series of care
full quantitative experiments that the
radiating power of the flames was not
dependent upon their temperature.
Having calculated the total useful eff
feet which can be obtained as radiant
energy from the gases which are being
consumed in the production of the
flame, DR.. Helmholtz arrives at the
interesting result that it is far more
economical to use the gases for driving
a dynamo which supplies incandescent
lamps. and to use the energy radiated
from the latter, than to burn the gases
and to utilize the energy which is
radiated out from their non-lumi nous
flames. Louis Globe-Democrat.
